One Layer Thinking of You

Hello, everyone!  It’s Melissa back with more one layer clean and simple for this month’s collaboration with CAS-ual Fridays!

With fall arriving this week, I went with kraft cardstock and created a monochromatic one layer design.

The background pattern is CAS-ual Friday’s Full on Floral stamp.  The bird is from the Hero Arts Color Layering Bird & Branch set and the sentiment is from the Hero Arts Everyday Sayings set.  Everything was stamped in Versafine black ink.

Come join us as we wrap up another month of challenge fun with one layer card designs!  You can find the current challenge and gallery here.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Emerald Happy Birthday card

Hello! Michelle L here with you today to share a card I made using WOW! glitter embossing powder.

I started with some pool layering paper from Hero Arts, and stamped the “Leaf and Floral Background” stamp with Versamark ink, then added Emerald City embossing glitter from WOW! and heat set it. I am seriously in love with this embossing powder! I cut the panel down with a rectangle die and a circle die, and then cut out the “happy” die from the “Happy stamp & cut” set from Hero Arts three times. I layered the die cuts to give a bit of dimension to the sentiment, then added Versamark to the top layer and sprinkled on the Emerald City embossing glitter towards the bottom, and clear embossing glitter towards the top to give a glittery ombre effect. I stamped the “birthday” from Hero Arts “Birthday Sayings”  in Smoky Grey Versafine ink before adhering the panel and the hello die cut to a white top folding card front.

Let’s Float Away!

Hello everyone!

It’s Donna here again and we are continuing our collaboration this month with Chibitronics! I hope you have been enjoying all the wonderful projects the team has created. If you have not had a chance to stop over to A Blog Named Hero’s blog, please do.

This month challenge is “interactive”, which seems to fit with the Chibitronics! If you don’t have Chibitronics you can make a slider or shaker card or anything you can think of that would be interactive! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. And stop by A Blog Named Hero’s blog and get more inspiration!

Here is my card, I am using the Hero Arts Puffer Fish stamp set.  This is the cutest stamp set I have seen in a while, there are so many possibilities!

Here is a short video of the lights going on and off using the Chibitronics:

Here is how I put my card together:

1. My card is an A2 (4 1/4 X 5 1/2)
2. I stamped and die cut the puffer fish from the Hero Arts Puffer Fish stamp set,

3.  I colored them using copics, the green fish I used copics YG21, 03, 17 and 67, the orange fish I used Y17, 38 and YR68, the baskets I used E57 and 79,
4. The clouds I used the MFT cloud stencil and added the water at the bottom,

5.  I placed the baskets with adhesive and then added the fish with dimensionals,

6.  To see how I added the lights you can go to an earlier post I showed you step by step on how I added the foil tape and lights, you can click here.

I hope I have inspired you to join the challenge, which is interactive.   You can find the Challenge Rules   on the blog to make sure you follow the rules to be eligible to win. You can submit your project here!

A Clean & Simple Hello

Hello again!  It’s Melissa back with another clean and simple design as we head into the weekend!

The big, bold sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base in black ink.  The adorable unicorn was then stamped in black ink, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut before adding a little clear shine to the horn and sparkle to the mane and tail.  The finished image was popped up with foam dots for dimension.  Three little gold star sequins were added as a finishing touch.

My DD love horses and unicorns right now and she’s over-the-top excited that I have this stamp set from Jane’s Doodles, this month’s sponsor, in my stash!

Remember to play along in our February Challenge for your chance to win the prize from Jane’s Doodles!  You have until Monday, February 27!
