WOW! Embossing Powder & Paper Rose Studio Collaboration Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the WOW! Embossing Powder New Release giveaway Hop! We are so excited to collaborate together with Paper Rose Studio on this fun filled two day event. Today is the day 1 of the hop.
 
 

 

I have a mixed media card using the gorgeous embossing powder and foil by WOW! and the pretty stencil and the Sentiment sheets by Paper Rose Studio.

 

 

I started by applying some distress inks through the Floral Mesh stencil onto a white layer. Now I applied some Deco Foil transfer gel through the stencil towards the center of the panel. remove the stencil and let it dry till it turns clear. Put the gold Fab Foil onto the panel (shiny side up) put this panel into folded copy paper and run it through the laminator.

Now, put the stencil back onto the technique piece. Then, I took some translucent embossing paste and added WOW! Glass Slipper Sparkles into it and mix. I applied it through the stencil to some parts. Remove the stencil and let this piece dry.

Meanwhile, I cut a sentiment square from the Black and White sentiment sheets. Put gold foil over it and ran it through the laminator. Mat it with a lilac cardstock. Add some gold floss behind the sentiment.

 

To finish, add some pastel rainbow confetti by Studio Katia.

Sunny Studio - Merry Christmas Card

 Hello everyone! I have a Christmas Card featuring all of the newest Slimline dies over on Sunny Studio blog today.

Slimline dies are very popular at the moment, so I am thrilled that Sunny Studio introduced these dies! and the best part is to have the various borders and the nature borders dies as well.

I started by die-cutting the main mat layer using the Slimline Scalloped Frame die. I sponged it using tumbled glass distress ink towards the top. I then die-cut some clouds and snow hills using the Slimline Nature Border dies. I sponged the edges of these using distress ink. Flick some iridescent watercolor, distress ink to all these panels and let dry.

I then die-cut the borders using the Slimline Borders die and colored them using copic markers to match my ornaments. Adhere to the mat layer.

Die-cut some trees from the Rustic Winter Dies. Adhere to the layer and then adhere the clouds and the snow hills. apply some stickles.

I then took Tim Holtz yupo paper and added some pearl alcohol ink, let dry. I then stamped one of the layer of the baubles using Retro Ornament stamp with versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! gold pearl embossing powder and heat emboss. Die-cut the baubles using coordinating dies.

Finally, I stamped the fir leaves using distress inks in various shades of green and peacock feathers using Classy Christmas Stamp set. Add some water using a damp brush. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

 

Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto vellum. Assemble everything together.

Hope you enjoyed this project. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice day!!

MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar Challenge: Innovation Master Category

 Hello everyone! I am so excited, MFT is hosting the Card Design Superstar Challenge again. This is my last card for the challenge which is for the Innovation Master category. This is a 3in 1 interactive card, I created 3 interactive elements (pull tab, shutter card and shaker) 

I didn't have a pull tab die so I had to improvise a bit. I cut the slit using the x-acto knife and have used a tab die from stash.

Here is the card in action

Here is the card


I started by creating the shutter card base. Stephanie has this awesome tutorial HERE

I sponged the sky area. I then used post-it to create mask to sponge ink to create grassy hills. I then stamped all the images, colored them and die-cut. I adhered the image of the cute gnomie inside the shutter part, sprinkle some chunky glitter and adhered acetate over it.

Stamp the grass, adhere the images and the inside is finished :) The shaker is the surprise once we open the shutter :)

Now to create the pull tab, I simply cut a 1.25 inch long slit in the pattern paper, where I wanted my turtle to move. I then cut a long sleeve to use as pull function. There are few tutorials on youtube so I had to make my own measurements but it worked out beautifully. I then created the band. I adhered the Gnomie house to the band and placed on the card so when we pull the tab, we can see the turtle peeking from behind. I did add 2 more stripes of the same pattern paper to hide the slit and turtle body so when we remove the band, the card still looks clean :) You can see that in the video. Check it out how the turtle peeks through. 

I really love interactive cards and can't stop playing myself...lol. 

Have a nice day and stay safe!

MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar Challenge: Coloring Virtuoso

Hello everyone! I am so excited, MFT is hosting the Card Design Superstar Challenge again. This is my card for the Coloring Virtuoso challenge. I love flowers, I wish I had the newest GORGEOUS florals from MFT but I found these older ones Painted Petals stamp and decided to use them. They were a bit of a challenge to color because of their layering and abstract style but I love to challenge myself and went for no-line watercolor effect :)
 
 
 
I used Daniel Smith watercolors to color in the images after stamping them with antique linen distress ink. Fussy cut them and created the cluster. For the sentiment I used Sweetest Somebunny stamp set, I stamped and embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder and added a touch of watercolor.
 
 
Thanks for dropping by! Have a nice weekend.
