Tonic Stamp Club | Shoot for the Stars Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Tonic Studios today to celebrate the release of this month's Stamp Club bundle - Shoot for the Stars. If you haven't heard of Stamp Club, this is not a subscription but a monthly bundle release of a stamp set and dies that is exclusive to Tonic Studios and inspired by Maria Willis. 

As mentioned, the bundle this month is called Shoot for the Stars. If you have been following along with Stamp Club, you will know that they released a bundle called Shoot for the Moon previously. This set works perfectly with that set and great news! That set is coming back with this release, so if you missed it before, you have another chance to get it! You can see my cards using that bundle here. As you will see though, you can combine this set with other bundles too, even if you wouldn't necessarily think that they would go together! 

For my first card, I did something a bit odd and combined this month's Stamp Club with last month's. I started off by creating the background. I took a panel of white cardstock and blended on Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot using blending brushes. I let the panel dry completely. 

I took the sparkle like star stamps from the Tonic Studios Stamp Club Shoot for the Stars Stamp & Die Bundle stamp set and stamped them repeatedly across the top half of the panel using Versamark ink. I applied Hero Arts Stain Pearl Embossing Powder and heat set. I then spritzed the panel with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry again. 

I took the whale from the Tonic Studios Stamp Club A Whaley Great Set Stamp & Die Bundle and stamped it on to white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I coloured it with Copic Markers and splattered on a little more of the shimmer spray.  The sentiment from the set was stamped on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied White Embossing Powder, heat set it and cut it in to a strip. The panel was adhered to an A2 white card base and the whale and sentiment added on top with foam tape. 

My next card uses the dies from the bundle for a full shaker card. I started off by creating the background. I took a panel of white cardstock and blended on Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. I then spritzed it with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz and then splattered on Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Paint for the stars. 

Whilst the panel was drying, I die cut a few of the stars from the Tonic Studios Stamp Club Shoot for the Stars Stamp & Die Bundle from black cardstock to use as my shaker elements. I then die cut the wish word three times - twice from white cardstock and once from Tonic Studios Sugar Crystal Glitter Cardstock with Tonic Studios Double Sided Adhesive Sheet on the back. They were adhered together one on top of another. I then stamped the sentiment (piecing different sentiments together) on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip. 

I took one of the new Tonic Studios Shaker Pockets and placed the stars on what would be the inside. I then placed the panel inked side down and folded the sides of the pocket around to the back and adhered down (they have adhesive already on them). These pockets are great because they are an easy way to create a full shaker card! The shaker panel was then adhered flat to an A2 black card base with tape runner. I die cut the mountain die from more black cardstock and adhered that on top of the shaker. The sentiment was adhered down and then the sentiment strip added below with thin foam tape.

For the whale card, I debated whether to put it on a galaxy background or not. If you Google 'whale in galaxy' some stunning images show up. I thought though, that with the card I made, it could either be interpreted as a whale in the sky or in the sea (with the stars being sparkles/reflections in the water). The ocean is not usually pink but I'm sure it could be with a little imagination! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Next on the hop is the amazing Jessica! Have a great rest of the day! 

Spellbinders | Sweet Street

Hello there, today I have two cards to share with you using the Spellbinders Sweet Street Collection by Tina Smith. This is such a fun collection that is perfect for birthdays and all different types of celebrations. A lot of the sets are interactive but as you will see with one of my cards, you don't have to use that element if you don't want to. 

My first card uses the Spellbinders Layer Cake Surprise Etched Dies. I started off by die cutting the elements from various shades of cardstock - C9 Ballet Slippers and Honeysuckle for the main cake, as well as the chocolate frosting from Hero Arts Chestnut Cardstock. The candle was cut from the same pink cardstock as the cake plus C9 Buttercup and PTI Summer Sunrise for the flame. The pieces of the cake connect inside each other so that you can pull them up behind the base layer of the cake when you pull on the candle. 

The frosting of the cake was adhered with small amounts of Barely Art Glue just along the bottom and sides so that it doesn't stick to the cake layers behind. I did make the candle and flame three layers thick so that it gave it some more stability. For the card base, I placed the Taylored Expressions Rectangle Masking Stencil on to an A2 white card base and blended Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink inside. The mask was removed and the cake adhered on top.

I added small pieces of foam tape to the very bottom of the cake and sides so that I could adhere it to the card but the cake pieces still move. The flowers are from the Spellbinders Party Cupcake Pocket Etched Dies (see below). The sentiment, from the Spellbinders Everyday Sentiments II Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set was foiled on to black cardstock with Silver Foil. It was cut out and added to the cake with foam tape. 

My next card uses the Spellbinders Party Cupcake Pocket Etched Dies. These dies work so that you can lift the cupcake out from the wrapper but for my card today, I didn't use that part. I started off by die cutting the elements form various shades of cardstock - the cupcake from Hero Arts Sand Cardstock, the frosting from Hero Arts Chestnut Cardstock, the wrapper from Hero Arts Paradise Cardstock, candle from C9 Ballet Slippers Cardstock and flame from C9 Buttercup Cardstock. They were all adhered together using Barely Art Glue. 

I took a white A2 card base and using the same masking stencil as the first card, blended on Tim Holtz Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. The cupcake was then added on top with foam squares. I took the flower from the set and cut it from C9 Ballet Slippers and Honeysuckle Cardstock. The leaves are from C9 Sprout Cardstock. The pieces were adhered to the cupcake with more glue. 

The sentiment from the Spellbinders Everyday Sentiments II Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set was foiled on to black cardstock with Silver Foil. It was cut in to strips and added to the card with more foam squares. To finish off, I added Crystal Glaze to the frosting and also the flame. I also added Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems to both cards.

I don't make a huge amount of interactive cards but when I do, I like dies like these as they are simple to put together. I don't have a stamp that says pull otherwise I would have added a little tag to the candle on the first card, so instead, I will write in the card to say pull the candle! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are well and staying safe still. Take care! 

Hero Arts Summer 2021 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, today we are celebrating the Hero Arts Summer 2021 Release. This release is wonderful and features lots of new stamps and dies, stencils and tools. We are celebrating with a fun blog hop, more details on that below. For my cards today, I wanted to use two of the new Looking Glass Dies. These dies are wonderful as they create a looking glass effect, hence the name. You can use them in different ways to create a 3D window scene. You can use one layer, two layers or all three. Or you can mix and match the different sets as well!

For my first card, I have used the new Looking Glass Day or Night plus the Rain & Clouds Looking Glass Dies. I started off by die cutting the front panel of a top folding A2 card base with the sun rays die from the Hero Arts Looking Glass Day or Night Dies. I did this so that the card front would have some open areas, so you could look directly through the card itself but you could add acetate on the back or just do it as a layer. 

I then took a panel of Hero Hues Canary Cardstock and cut the same die from that. You can use the Hero Arts Alignment Tool Stencil to help with lining things up. Once die cut, I took Hero Arts Lemon Drop and Creamsicle Reactive Inks and blended this on to the sun with Ink Blending Brushes. This layer was then adhered directly on to the front of the card base, lining it up with the one already cut, using Hero Arts Precision Glue (which now comes in an XL version too). 

I then took a panel of white cardstock and cut the top cloud die from the Hero Arts Looking Glass Rain & Clouds Dies so it lined up with the window. This layer was adhered to the card with foam tape. I took the sentiment from the new Hero Arts Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL and stamped it on to Hero Hues Pitch Black Cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. 

It was cut out using the coordinating die and then adhered on top with foam tape. I cut another of the strips (without a stamped sentiment) and adhered it to the inside of the card so that the foam tape would not be seen on the inside. To finish off, I die cut the smallest heart from the Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies from Hero Hues Cherry Cardstock. It was adhered to the sun and then I added a layer of Hero Arts Crystal Clear Lacquer Pen on top. 

My second card uses the Looking Glass Rain & Clouds dies on it's own. I started off by die cutting the top layer of the clouds from the Hero Arts Looking Glass Rain & Clouds Dies from a panel of white cardstock. I then cut the second layer from Hero Arts Classic Vellum Layering Paper. I took a top folding white card base and masked off the edges. 

Using Hero Arts Ink Blending Brushes, I blended Purple Galaxy, Blue Hawaii and Pool Party Reactive Inks. I then spritzed it with Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Mist before removing the masking tape. Once dry, I adhered the vellum layer flat to the card base and then added the white panel on top with foam tape. 

I took another sentiment from the Hero Arts Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL and stamped it on to Hero Hues Pitch Black Cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was then cut in to a strip with the coordinating die. It was adhered on top with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Bubbles.

Altenew | Classic Imagery Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the new Classic Imagery collection release. This release is full of stencils and embossing folders. I thought that for my projects today, I would share five different ways to use embossing folders. To celebrate the release, there is a fun blog hop going on. More details on that below. 

HIGHLIGHTING DETAILS WITH WHITE INK

For my first card, I am using the new Altenew Cheerful Blooms 3D Embossing Folder. I started off by ink blending Altenew Sweet Dreams Crisp Dye Inks on to a panel of white cardstock using Altenew Ink Blending Tools. I then ran the panel through my die cutting machine with the embossing folder.

Using a foam ink blending tool (so that it is flat), I carefully applied Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment Ink to the raised areas. I then spritzed the panel with Altenew Iridescent Shimmer Spray. The sentiment from the Altenew Starry Flowers Stamp Set was stamped with Versamark Ink on to black cardstock. 

I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip. The embossed panel was adhered to an A2 white card base and the sentiment added on top with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I then embellished with Lucy's Bubbles. 

PARTIAL EMBOSSING

For my next card, I am using the Altenew Charming Mandala 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is a large circular design but for my card today, I wanted to show that you can just use part of a folder. I started off by blending Altenew Glacier Caves Crisp Dye Inks on to the top half of a panel of white cardstock. I then ran the panel through my die cutting machine with the embossing folder, using half of the circle design only. 

I added white pigment ink to the raised areas and then added the panel to an A2 white card base with tape runner. The Altenew Fancy Thanks Die was cut three times from black cardstock which had Altenew Double Sided Adhesive Sheet on the back. 

They were adhered one on top of another and then the sentiment form the Altenew Sentiment Strips Stamp Set stamped with Altenew Obsidian Black Ink, cut out and added below the thanks. To finish off, I added a few Lucy's Bubbles. 

EMBOSSING FOLDERS AS BACKGROUNDS

For my next card, I am using the new Altenew Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder, along with the new Altenew Greenwood Flowers Stencils Set. I started off by simply taking a panel of white cardstock and running it through my die cutting machine with the Altenew Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder. This can be used on either side but I went with the debossed side for my card, which was adhered flat to an A2 white card base. 

On a separate sheet of white cardstock, I blended Inks through the Altenew Greenwood Flowers Stencils Set. This creates such a beautiful flower and leaves. I used Altenew Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Inks for the flower and Altenew Green Fields Crisp Dye Inks for the leaves. I also added some of the black from the set in to the centre of the flower. 

I fussy cut it out with scissors and and adhered it to the card with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. The sentiment, from the Aletnew Sentiment Strips Stamp Set, was stamped on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. They were cut in to strips and added to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added Altenew Cherry Blossom Enamel Dots. 

SIMPLE EMBOSSING OVER INK BLENDING

My next card uses the new Altenew Bunch of Balloons 3D Embossing Folder. I started off by adding inks to a panel of white cardstock with Altenew Ink Blending Tools. I used Forest Glades (Green Fields set), Teal Cave (Sweet Dreams set), Persian Blue (Galcier Caves set) and Midnight Violet (Shades of Purple set). I then ran the panel through my die cutting machine with the Bunch of Balloons Embossing Folder. 

The panel was adhered to an A2 white card base with tape runner. I then die cut the Altenew Happy Birthday Die from white cardstock three times and layered them up one on top of another and added to the card. I took the sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. 

I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish off, I added a few Lucy's Raindrops. 

HIGHLIGHTING DETAILS WITH GOLD INK

For my last card, I am using the same technique as the first card but this time on to coloured cardstock and using gold ink. I started off with a panel of blue cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Altenew Alocasia 3D Embossing Folder. 

Using an ink blending tool, I then applied Tim Holtz Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. This is to lighten up the leaves slightly and show the details. I then went over this with Altenew Antique Gold Pigment Ink to the raised areas. The panel was adhered flat to a blue A2 card base. 

I took the Altenew Simply Hello Die and die cut it three times - twice from blue cardstock and once from gold glitter cardstock. They were adhered to the card one on top of another with the glitter paper one on the top. I then stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips Stamp Set on to more blue cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and adhered below the hello.

Altenew | Winsome Bloom Instagram Hop

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the release of the new Mini Delight: Winsome Bloom Stamp & Die Set. These mini sets are a great price point and although they are mini, they still work perfectly with lots of different card designs. We are celebrating the release with a fun Instagram Hop. More on that below. 

For my card, I started off by stamping the Altenew Mini Delight: Winsome Blooms Stamp & Die Set on to white cardstock with black ink. I then stamped the insides of the flowers with the lightest shades from the Altenew Tranquility and Sugarplums Crisp Dye Ink Mini Cube Sets. The leaves were simply stamped as is. They were cut out with the coordinating dies and set aside while I worked on the background. 

I took a panel of white cardstock and blended Altenew Tranquility Crisp Dye Ink Mini Cubes on to the top half of it, using an Altenew Ink Blending Tool, lightening the colour as I went down the panel. I adhered it to an A2 white card base with tape runner and then made a frame using circle dies from white cardstock. This was adhered flat to the card. The leaves were added with tape runner and then the flowers added on top with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. The sentiment, from the Altenew Sentiment Strips Stamp Set was stamped, heat embossed, cut out and added to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Bubbles.

Hero Arts | Hope To Sea You Soon

Hello there, I was over on the Hero Arts Blog on Monday sharing a card using the new Hero Lifestyle Mermaid dies. These coordinate with the Hero Lifestyle Forms Fancy Dies, as well as the Hero Lifestyle Faces Stamp Set. 

I created my mermaid from various shades of Hero Arts cardstock, adding ink blending to each part for some added interest and dimension. I also spritzed the tail and shell bra with White Iridescent Shimmer Spray for some added sparkle. The background was created with ink blending and the seaweed from the Color Layering Abalone Stamp Set, which was also used for the sentiment.

Altenew Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the release of the Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set. This beautiful 8" x 11" stamp set can be purchased on it's own, separately with the die set or as a bundle with the stamp and die set together. The set is huge and packs a real big punch! We are celebrating the release with a fun blog hop. More details on the hop below. 

The set features two gorgeous layering blooms, as well as leaves. I used each bloom on my separate projects today. For the card, I started off by stamping the outline layers from Altenew Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set on to white cardstock with black ink. I then stamped the layers of the flower using Altenew Glacier Caves Crisp Dye Ink Mini Cube Set. For the inside of the flower, I used Altenew Fall Harvest Crisp Dye Ink Mini Cubes. 

The leaves were stamped with Altenew Green Meadows Crisp Dye Ink Mini Cubes. I did fussy cut them all out, as I didn't have the dies at the time of making my projects, but there are coordinating dies available. I then took one of the Altenew Terrific Tags Dies and cut it from white cardstock and then ran it through my die cutting machine to emboss the Altenew Grid Cover Panel Die on to it. 

I tied twine through the top of the tag and adhered it to a blue A2 card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I then added the leaves on top with glue and the flower with more foam tape. I took the sentiment from the Altenew Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. 

It was cut in to a strip and added to the tag with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few Altenew Glacier Caves Enamel Dots around the sentiment. I kept to blues for my flowers today but they do look really pretty mixing and matching different colours as well. 

If you have followed me for a while, you will know that I love a good coordinating tag! Whilst stamping the images for the card, I also stamped the other flower from the set, as well as more leaves using the same inks. I did the same thing with the tag but this time, I cut an additional tag as well so that I could adhere it to the back of the embossed one. This is so that I can write a message on the back if I want to. 

The leaves were adhered with glue and the flower with foam tape. I heat embossed another sentiment from the Altenew Majestic Bouquet Stamp Set and added it to the tag. I again finished off with some enamel dots and twine through the top of the tag.
