Make it Monday #144

Trying to get back into posting on my blog. Got new computer system at work and when I got home I just did not feel like doing anything.  This is a card that I made for my Uncle's birthday.  He is 91 and flew in the Air Force.  I found this set on clearance at Hobby Lobby and thought it would be perfect for his birthday card.  I thought it would be perfect for my Make it Monday entry. The design for this card came from Stamper's Quest.  I am on their design team and this was the sketch we were given for this month.

Quirky Crafts #12

This was my post on Paper Temptress last week.  So all the paper I used was from Paper Temptress.I am a big stamper and this card has no stamping on it.  My daughter asked me to make a birthday card for her 2 year old nephew.  The theme of the card is Bob the Builder.  She found a tool belt card on Pinterest  and asked if I could do something.  Here is the link to the other card.  Also from the link you can go to a link that gives you a cut file.  I own a cricut but don't know how to download cut files.  I went to the cut file picture and just cut and pasted my tools.
Now to my card.  The base is Brown Basis.  I used an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and cut the base to 5 x 11.  I scored the base at 3 1/2 from each side. The belt across the top and the pockets are Treasures Crafty Brown.  The gray on the tools is Gray Basis.  The red on the handles is Treasures Cardinal Red. The challenge at Quirky Crafts was fold it.

We were given a stamp set and a die.  My set was Posy Patch.  All the paper in this card comes from Paper Temptress.  The base for my card is Heavenly White.  It is sort of sad to use this wonderful paper as a base.  It is wonderful for Copic Markers and stamps beautifully due to it's smooth texture.  The next layer is Epic Black.  I cut a hole to display my sentiment.  The hole is framed with a Hambly Screenprint called Hounds Tooth.  The pattern down the side is also a Hambly Screen print and it is a part of the Vintage Patchwork Screen print. The flowers were stamped on Silver Laser Lustre.  This paper takes Distress inks so beautifully.  I stamped the flowers in black StazOn and added color with Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Tea dye and Walnut Stain Distress ink.  I added frosted lace Stickles in the center of the flowers for some bling.  The bow is my new favorite ribbon and is called 5/8 Elegant Cappuccino Satin with gold lines.  I just love the rich color of this ribbon.  Next stop is Tina's Blog.

Make it Monday #137 and TSSC 250

This is a sympathy card I made for my cousin's wife.  The background on the main image is made by stamping on glossy paper and then taking die ink and a brayer and applying color.  The sketch for this card came from Techno Stamper and thought I could post this as my card for Make it Monday also.

Make it Monday #135

This was my post for Paper Temptress this week.  I though it would be perfect for Make it Monday. I was on Stamp TV last week and saw the technique called Color on Color Emboss Resist.  It looked so cool I just had to try it.  I used Cryogen White for my base.  So even though you can't see it in the photograph it does have some shimmer to it. I used a sponge dauber to apply color.  The ink I used was dye ink.

Once this was dry I rubbed an antistatic bag over it and stamped my image with VersaMark.  I then applied clear embossing powder to the piece of cardstock.  I then used my heat gun to emboss the images.

I then applied a darker color to the whole piece with another sponge dauber.  This piece was mounted on Basis Aqua.  The main image was also stamped on Cryogen White and colored with colored pencils.  This image was highlighted with Distress Broken China which matches the Basis Aqua just perfectly. This image was mounted on Basis Burgundy  The cording at the bottom was just white and I used the distress ink with a sponge to apply color.  I know Paper Temptress has some beautiful white ribbon so remember you can always color it.  I did use some foam mounting tape for the background piece and the main flower image.

 

Make it Monday #133 and Party Time Tuesday #130

This is going to be a first for me.  This was my Paper Temptress Post for this week.    I am posting a scrapbook page.  I have a brand new grandson and have promised my daughter that I can start a scrapbook for him.  His name is Ian and he was born on February 20.  I used some of the first pictures of Ian to make this page.  The base is Graystone Classic Linen.  I love the way this carstock sort of looks like stone.   I used Tartan Green Felt Grande to mount the pictures and for the wording.  This is excellent for the wording because it has some texture to it.    The rubber duck is cut from Mangue Sparkle.   This wonderful Yellow color has a little bit of sparkle to it.  The beak of the rubber duck and highlight on the wings is Treasure Mango Orange.  The challenge at Party Time Tuesday is anything goes. Th Make it Monday.
