Follow your Dreams

Hi Everyone,

For my card today, I used ©ching-chou kuik's Love is Gone. I also tried to step outside my comfort zone using several embellishments and lots of layers.

After coloring the image with Copics, I use my Copic Atyou Spica Glitter pens to add some sparkle. I also used Dimensional Glaze on the sun in the upper left hand corner. After assembling the layers, I stamped out the sentiment from Verticals Plate 4 but because it was a bit too long, I just cut the individual words apart, used Distress Ink to blend the edges, then layered them onto card stock and stacked them to make them fit :-).

I found some K&Co. Winter Wonderland Paper Pack & Die-Cut papers in the clearance aisle at Jo-Anns which worked great with the color theme. Just because it says Winter or Christmas, doesn't mean I can't use them for other seasons, right? The flower is from Prima and the butterfly embellishment is from Accent Factory.

Here is a close up, hopefully you'll be able to see the glitter:

I definitely have to work on adding bling & embellishments, to get comfortable with that. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to swing by Sweet Pea Stamps, especially if you haven't seen the latest release.... you're going to love it!

Moving Magic

I've made a card with a moving panel that displays different messages. It uses four different sayings and the main image Dragonfly Fantasy.

It might not look that spectacular at first glance, but the fun part is that you move the tab up or down on the left so that the frame reveals different messages...

I wrote the word "magic" above the image with black glitter glue.

I love bunnies and I love mermaids. This new image, Easter Ocean, from ching-chou kuik;s Fantasy Art Collection lets me have both!!!

Connie-Thousand Years Waiting

I broke out of my comfort zone and tried a larger size card and I think I like it.  So much more room for so much more bling!
This card uses Plate #30 "Thousand Years Waiting" with a portion of a saying on that plate as well.  You can view this plate
(and all those luscious Fantasy Art images) HERE
Supplies:
Sweet Pea Plate #30

Provo Craft die "Fancy Flourishes"
Flowers by Prima
Copic markers
Dye ink by Memento "Tuxedo Black"

handmade glue dots

I cut half a sheet of 12x12 paper for my base card and folded in half to make the card 6x6"
I trimmed the dotted DP just a smidge smaller with another DP scrap layered across the center.  I added the binding over that strip with a diecut frame and the focal image over that.  Added some flourish diecuts and pearls and more bling than ever could have fit a smaller card.....can you tell I had a blast with this one?

We took last week off, when we reopened, I started off with a new roll of rubber. This new roll of rubber must have been defective as sheets were sticking and buring.

You can check the status of your order on our website tracking system. Thank You

Amore

Something a little different....for me anyway. What do you think?

I wasn't sure about this card. When I'm not sure, I walk away from it, let some time pass and re-evaluate.

This shadow heart and the "Amore" sentiment are from Plate 27 . Beautiful, what I call 'collage' type stamps. You have to head over to the store to see the other stamps on this plate!!

This card is a very 'clean & simple' type card. Unless you are analytical like me, this card should take no more than 5 minutes to make.

I took the Spellbinders frame die and ran it through my Ellison to emboss only. Then used the same die with some DP from my scrap basket, this time to cut the paper. Attached the insert piece to the card. I used pigment ink to stamp the shadow heart, then cut it out using good ole fashion scissors (I generally use a craft knife). Found some ribbon that matched almost perfectly with the heart, which I wrapped around the front of the card. I used my craft knife to cut a slit on the fold end, the width of the ribbon. I attached the heart with foam dots hiding the ribbon ends. I used my oval punch on the "Amore" and finally decided to put in the lower right corner within the embossed frame. Don't ask me how long I agonized over that one, lo.

Did you notice something? No copics..... maybe that's why it didn't feel right at first. But it was fun to step outside my comfy zone and try something different. That's what makes these stamps so versatile.

February Project of the Month: Memory Bracelet

The project for this month is a memory bracelet. It is super easy and fun to make with just a few supplies.

Gumdrop Gang Easter Plate

Neatly trim the images out with scissors or punch.
Punch a hole at the center top of each charm.

Working on the wax/freezer paper, apply a thin layer of Diamond Glaze and allow to dry.
Flip charms over and apply a layer of Diamond Glaze to the backs and edges of the charms to seal and allow to dry.
If necessary use a large paper clip to push any Diamond Glaze out of the charm holes.
Make bracelet chain if needed.
Attach the charms to the chain randomly using jump rings.

Enjoy sharing!

Journey to Paris

A friend of mine sent me the wonderful Eiffel tower embellishment that is in the center of this card. It is made of air dry clay and has metallic ribbons in it also. Isn't it gorgeous!!! Rather than hoard this beautiful embellishment and pack it away with the rest of my stash, inspiration struck as I knew I had the perfect Sweet Pea stamp to accompany this embellishment. The Eiffel tower image, seen in the upper right and lower left corners of this card, is on Sweet Pea plate #6. I stamped the image onto white card stock using lightening black brilliance ink and then I embossed with clear detail powder. I double mounted the image on a metallic gold piece of card stock and then a black piece of card stock. I cut a piece of white card stock to 4 x 5 1/4" and sponged on some gold ink, but not enough to cover the card. After the ink dried I ran the piece through my Cuttlebug using the script embossing folder. I swiped a black ink pad and then the lightening black brilliance ink pad across the embossed card to highlight the script. I edged the piece using a gold Krylon pen and before attaching to a black card I attached a piece of printed twill ribbon with a gold star shaped brad to the left top corner. I then attached the embellishment and 2 stamped images to the front of the card. I love it when inspiration strikes and all the pieces of a card work together so well!!!

More Diagonal Tri-fold cards

I had so much fun making these small diagonal tri-fold cards that I've made more of them. You can see the dimensions and more about how these cards are put together in a previous post dated Jan 25, 2010. Or, you can Google 'diagonal tri-fold cards' to get more info about them.
I stamped this beautiful butterfly collage stamp found on Sweet Pea plate #2 using black India ink onto a background piece created on glossy card stock. Sorry for the glare that appears on my picture of the card front. Before doing anything else I used a Cuttlebug border embossing folder around all 4 sides of the front of the card. I then measured and cut a piece of silver metallic ribbon and attached it to the back of the butterfly image. I then attached the image and ribbon only to the left upper triangle of the card front.

With the left front panel partially opened you can better see the embossed edges of the front panels. I like how this Cuttlebug embossed border works so well with the design of the stamp. I think it provides an elegant, yet simple, look to the card.



The inside of this card is very simple. The 2 sentiments used are also on Sweet Pea Plate #2. I stamped them onto orchid card stock and trimmed with a decorative edge scissors. This is a small card and I think too much would overpower it. After all, it's the thought that counts.... and I love the thought that this sentiment is conveying.


For this diagonal tri-fold card I've chosen a sentiment as the front of the card. This sentiment and the images inside can be found on Sweet Pea plate #17. I love this sentiment and think this card is perfect to send to a special friend for no special occasion... just as a reminder that his or her friendship is special.
After cutting and folding the blue card stock, I cut a piece of decorative paper to be slightly smaller than the front panel. I cut that piece on the diagonal and attached each of the triangles to the left and right of the card front. I stamped the sentiment onto a small piece of blue card stock and then trimmed using an EK Success border punch. I attached a sheer blue ribbon to the back of the sentiment and then attached just the left side of the piece to the front left triangle of the card front.

In this picture I've flipped open just the left side of the card so that you get a better sense of how this card is folded. And you can see how the sentiment attached to the front of the card is only attached to the upper left triangle of the front of this card.



This is the card fully opened. These angel images are also on Plate #17. The miniature images on the left and right panel are the same as the image on the center panel. I stamped the miniature images onto an alcohol ink created background and the central image was stamped onto a piece of water color paper that I had sprayed with watercolor spray I had mixed using water and pearl ex powders. I matted the central angel image onto a piece of pink card stock so that it would pop a bit off the card.

The heart collage image found in the center of this card is on Sweetpea Plate #27.
After cutting and folding the card I ripped a piece of handmade background paper that a friend had given me. This piece is actually made from a brown paper bag! I centered it across the card front before cutting it in half on the diagonal and then adhered to the card front with double sided tape. I stamped the heart collage image using india black ink onto a piece of white card stock that I had sponged with various colors of distress inks. I trimmed to slightly larger than the heart. I measured and cut a piece of purple ribbon so that it would fit around the card and tie into a bow. I taped the ribbon to the heart first and then attached the left upper portion of the heart image to the left upper triangle of the card front only.

In this picture I've opened up just the left side of the card. I used some gold metallic heavy card stock pieces on the inside and stamped 2 of the sentiments and 1 of the other images from Plate #27. The card stock really soaked up the ink so the words and images are fairly light colored even though I used black india ink.


With the card opened to it's fullest, you can see the placement of the sentiments and the image more clearly. I used another piece of the same background paper on the inside center panel. I think it helps to highlight the stamped sentiment.

Bird Collage stamp

Take a look at Sweet Pea plate #27; there are some great collage images there. Check out this bird collage image.
I stamped the image with black VersaFine onto a piece of background that I had created with various colors of inks. I mounted it onto a piece of wine colored card and then onto a piece of gold card that I ran through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Before attached the entire piece to the black card, I wrapped and tied a copper colored ribbon around the bottom of the card.

Spring-Moony-Night

This beautifully detailed stamp is ching-chou kuik's Spring-Moony-Night. It is sold individually or as a part of Plate #22. I love the wishful look on her face, as though she is holding up a lantern waiting for her partner to come home. Next time I use this stamp, I am going to either cut the background out and use black paper or I will just color the background dark blue or black.


The image is stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic Markers. I mounted the stamped image on printed paper, the same paper that I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment (plate #4). I used some detailed paper ribbon from K&Co across the bottom and enhanced it with bling.

Have a wonderful day!

Attaching ATCs with Glassine Envelopes

Stamp: Ching-Chou Kuik's "Spring Luna" Fantasy Art Collection, Sheet #8, plate #30

For my card today, I used a small glassine bag. These are the perfect size for ATCs. And, a great way to attach your ATC to a card without ruining it! I used decorative scissors to cut the bag at an angle, so most of the image would show, but left enough that the ATC would stay firmly in place. I then used some adhesive to attach it to the cardstock.

Too finish my card off, I added a few border lines with a ruler and my aqua Souffle pen by Sakura.

I pulled the ATC out of the envelope, so that you could see it....


A few of you have commented on my bright colors. If you see a card with shocking, vivid colors, chances are I am using my Fluorescent Copics. For instance, FV2, is Fluorescent Dull Violet. A gorgeous bright purple. You can see it on the sample posted below. My favorite bright pinks however, are RV04 Shock Pink and RV06 Cerise. Which I used on the card above. And, yes, they are bright!

Stamp: Ching-Chou Kuik's "Dance of Butterfly" Fantasy Art Collection, Sheet #6, plate #28

Blue Spring Luna

Hello! Today I have made a card using Spring Luna from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection (sheet 8, plate 30). I have decided to be more playful with the skin colors, which is hard for me because I am pretty comfortable (maybe too comfortable!) with my usual skin coloring! I am very happy with how it turned out though! You should try doing something different than you are used to. If it turns out terrible then what have you really lost besides a little time, and it may turn out wonderful!

The Details:
Stamp: Spring Luna (ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection - sheet 8, plate 30) from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: DCWV, Marigold Morning (retired SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: B91,B93,V000,BG000 over all
Hair: V000,V01,V04,V15,B63,BG000

Thousand Years Waiting

Hi, everyone!! I 'm Angela the newest member of the Sweet Pea design team.
When Lynette asked me to be on her design team I was just over the moon with excitement!!

First thing I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am 35. I have been working for the same company for 16yrs where I work full time as an Inventory Analyst. I have been married to my husband Bill for almost almost 10 yrs. I have 3 children 2 daughter age 16 and 5, and my son is 9. I live in Tennessee.

So enough about me, here is my DT card.

For this card I used Thousand Year Waiting she is on sheet#8, plate #30. And you can go and purchase her HERE.

This is probably one of my favorite images. She is just so beautiful!! I did use a multiliner to make her eyelashes a little longer, so her eyes would stand out more. And I also went over all the black areas with the copic multiliner also. Just to make the black areas darker. I hope you love her as much as I do and you will go get her for yourself.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Thousand Year Waiting(ching chou kuiks fantasy art collection sheet #8/plate#30) at Sweet Pea Stamps :by Ching Chou Kuik, the sentiment is also from this set

Fantasy Easter Ocean

This card was created using the new Fantasy Easter Ocean from the ching chou kuik Fantasy Art Collection, Plate #30. It is the prettiest Easter stamp I have ever seen. The base is a hot pink mica card stock, the background is the handmade line from ProvoCraft. All of the flowers are Prima, pearls are Queen & Co. The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink from Tsukineko and colored with Copic markers. A touch of glitter was added with a Sakura Glitter pen.

Into You...

Hi everyone,

Today I wanted share another card created with chin-chou kuik's My Buddy. This image has such a woodsy feeling that I tend to use earthy-woodsy type colors every time I color this image.

This is one of my favorite images, perhaps because it evokes memories of my childhood roaming the forests in Germany or perhaps because of the frog. I'm not a big fan of real frogs, but love love love frogs in my paper crafting world. Weird - I know.... :-)

Since my desk is covered with bit of scraps, embellishments and ribbon pieces, I tried to lessen the pile by using some of the embellishments from my scrap pile on this card. I love it when I can use up my scraps.

I put the sentiment which comes on Plate 22 on the inside of the card:

A quick card which any nature lover would enjoy, don't you think?

Make sure to head over to Sweet Pea Stamps to check out that latest sale. And while you're there, you should check out the Fantasy Art Collection sentiments grab bag special.... what a great deal and a great way to get 6 unmounted sentiments from the Fantasy Art Collection. Can't ever have too many sentiments :-).
