    2020 New Year’s Bash Announcement

    Hi Everyone, this is Kat.  We are supposed to have the drawings for our 2020 New Year’s Bash winners in honor of my Mom (It’s her 1st heavenly birthday today), but I am sick with tonsillitis and am not feeling well enough to go into the office (where the raffle tickets are).  We are going to postpone the announcement of the winners until tomorrow at 2pm PST. I’m very sorry and hope nobody is disappointed but I’m rarely this sick and just can’t leave my house (bed) today.

    Also, just a note to those that ordered in the last week or so and haven’t received their tickets yet.  I photographed each order along with their raffle ticket so that if your number is chosen and you have not yet gotten your ticket/order, you will still win!

    Thanks for understanding and we will see you back here tomorrow.

    Happy Birthday Mom

    Kat

    I Love ‘Roo Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Happy New Year! I want to wish you all the best for a healthy and prosperous year ahead. Now that the holidays are over we look forward to Valentine’s Day. I decided to make a card using the Hoppy For You Stamp set to create a card for my Mother. Below are the steps to create your own card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Create a background. Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Apply Ink of your choice in red tones. I used Altenew Tea Party Inks. I applied Pink Pearl to the entire panel using a Life Changing Brush and then layered Coral Bliss, Heart Beat and Vineyard Berry. (You can substitute the inks with Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Barn Door, Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany.) Using my Scan ‘N’ Cut I created a Dot Stencil. I placed it over the panel and applied Distress Oxide Black Soot with a foam applicator. If you don’t have a dot stencil or stamp I have linked at the end of the post an alternative. Optional – If you have a word background die stamp it over the panel using a White Pigment Ink.

    Step 3 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles using the panel created from Step 2. I diecut twice. Once using the largest die and second time using the second to last size. Adhere the outer diecut, Black Cardstock trimmed to 3 7/8” x 4 7/8” and the inner panel using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Diecut Stitched Scalloped Heart using Black Cardstock. Trim off part of the right side and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – Stamp Hoppy For You images using Gina K Amalgam Ink. This is an alcohol friendly ink. Colour in the images. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers. Fussy cut the images and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive for the Mama Roo and Foam Tape for the Baby Roo.

    Step 6 – Stamp Hoppy For You sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink on White Cardstock. Trim out the sentiment and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    This can can be used for many occasions by changing the colours, sentiment and design. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

    Happy Valentine’s Day

    Hello crafters!  Did everyone have a great holiday?  Does any one have any crafting goals for the new year?  I’m hoping to send out more cards to friends and family this year.

    I jumped from making Christmas cards right into Valentine Day’s card.

    I began the card by ink blending with Worn Lipstick onto a white card panel.  I thin added score lines every half inch on the white panel and adhered it to a pink panel that has a 1/16 border around it.  I die cut a heart using the Embossed Edge heart dies from Kat Scrappiness from patterned paper.  I colored the puffins and hearts from Lawn Fawn’s Stud Puffin stamp set, colored them with Copics, and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

    I heat embossed the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Say it with Hearts stamp set from Kat Scrappiness on gray paper with white embossing powder.  I adhered all these pieces onto my panel with dimensional adhesive.  I added three pink jewels to finish the panel and then adhered it directly to a white card base.

    Glitter Christmas Tree Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I have one last Holiday card to share with you using the Christmas Tree Coverplate die with a fun technique. Below are the steps to create your own Holiday card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2′ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Diecut Christmas Tree Coverplate using White Cardstock (x3). Adhere all 3 layers together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Trace the outline of the Tree on Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Trim it out adhere to the bottom of the Christmas Tree diecuts. Adhere the entire panel to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. (If you don’t want to fussy cut you could always trim the Metallic Kraft Cardstock to cover the entire diecut.)

    Step 3 – Apply Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew inside of the Tree only. While it is still wet sprinkle Glitter Powder. This will allow the glitter to stick to the Crystal Drops. Let dry.

    Step 4 – Diecut Merry Christmas With Shadow Die (only the word Merry) using Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Adhere to the card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle adhere White Diamond Sequins on the areas that has a ornament using a Crystal Katana and Collage Medium.

    There is a 30% off sale going on (no code needed) ending December 31st to be able to get all Christmas, Hannakah, Halloween and Thanksgiving Categories. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and wishing you all a very Happy Near Year!
