Birthday Sprinkles Card Plus Coupon Code

Hello friends. I'm back with a fun birthday card, using some of the products in today's Livestream bundle at Scrapbook.com. The Birthday Wishes bundle is full of awesome, exclusive products that you can only find in the Scrapbookcom shop. However, this special price is only good for 2 days! I've got a coupon code, plus brief creative details below. You'll also find my shopping supply list at the end of this post.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

**PLEASE NOTE! I linked the wrong sentiment die set in my supply list below. Click here for the correct die set.

The products that I used from the Birthday Wishes Bundle is the patterned paper and sentiment dies. To create my background, I used the pretty confetti sprinkles paper from the Birthday Wishes patterned paper to die cut strips using my A2 cover plate "Thick & Thin Strips" (not in the bundle) with my black Spellbinders Platinum 6 die cut system.

I took advantage of the confetti patterned paper's flipside for my thin strips; a pretty dark pink solid color. To adhere my elements to my white A2 card, I used my adhesive runner for the large strips and my Artis glue for the thin strips.

My die cut sentiment is from the Market Bloom Collection, and is included in the Livestream bundle. It includes several dies to allow for layering, which I love! I used white cardstock for my outline layer, then solid papers mixed and matched from both my Birthday Wishes patterned paper and the Sprinkles paper pad (not included in bundle).

One of the sheet designs in the Birthday Wishes patterned papers are candles in all sizes. I decided to fussy cut 6 of the candles, in various sizes, as a dimensional layer to place under my sentiment.

Both my candles and sentiment are popped up on 3 mm adhesive strips.

As much as I love stamping, it's also so refreshing to throw papers together and making something magical! I love the festive party colors!

Let me know if you have any questions, in the comment section, or find me on social media! I have convenient affiliate product links below, if you'd like to browse or shop.  

Before I go, you can use coupon code SMILE at checkout (through this weekend only) for an additional 8% off your order under $100 or 10%  off your order of $100 or more.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Terri

Watercolor Military Themed Cards

Hey crafty friends. I've got a trio of military themed cards today featuring the new Honor & Sacrifice Stamp Set w/coordinating die, from Erin Lee Creative. The sentiments in this set pays homage to all who have served in our armed forces, both the living and those who are no longer with us. I think this stamp set would be great for making general hero cards too. Think, firefighters! I'm even thinking about tongue in cheek cards for teachers. They go into battle every day, haha!

I've got lots of photos below and creative details if you'd like to scroll down. You'll also find my supply list at the end for clickable shopping or browsing.

My card dimensions are closer to a square sized card. I tend to eyeball how my elements will fit on a card, then trim my card and card panels accordingly.

The card dimensions are:

Card - 4 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Black panel - 4 1/2" x 4 7/8 

Ink Smooshed panel - 4 1/4" x 4 1/2"

I really wanted to watercolor my boots, so I decided to do some heat embossing with Wow embossing powder. I stamped my boot images on heavyweight white mixed media cardstock with clear embossing ink, then sprinkled my embossing powder, tapping off the excess and heat setting with my Ranger craft heat tool. Then, I used the coordinating boots die with my Platinum 6 die cut system to create my die cuts. I love that the die cuts out a little bit of space around the boot laces on both sides, allowing the card panel to peek through.

Next, I trimmed some panels from my white mixed media cardstock to do some ink smooshing. I chose to use the same color ink for each card, both for the ink smooshing and the watercolors for my boots.

Ink smooshing is so easy. I used Catherine Pooler ink and Ranger Ink. Just press your ink pad on a craft mat, spritz with water, then dab your cardstock into the mixture. Allow to dry naturally, or speed up the process with a craft heat tool.

The colors I'm using are:

Ranger Ink Distress Oxide Ink - Vintage Photo

Catherine Pooler Ink - Eucalyptus

Catherine Pooler Ink - Slate

I also splattered on some droplets of Ranger Dylusions Black Marble Shimmer spray, unscrewing the bottle and tapping the tube feeder all around my inked panel.

To watercolor my boots, I pressed my ink pad on my craft mat, spritzed with water and used my waterbrush to paint my boots. I typically go darker on the outside edges of my images, and lighter in the center, sometimes blotting with a paper towel for even more light.

For my sentiment above, I thought it would be interesting to try some variegated stamping. I stamped the word THANK YOU in black hybrid ink, masking the word VETERANS with tape. It helps to use a stamp positioner for this technique.

Next, I masked the word THANK YOU, then stamped with black hybrid ink along the bottom edge of the word VETERANS, and stamping along the upper part of the same word using my Eucalyptus ink.

Using a stamp positioner also allows you to achieve perfect, multiple inking to get the desired depth of color. I really love how it turned out!

I used a variety of sentiments from this stamp set, a different one for each card. My gray card above, is perfect for giving to a friend or family member for the upcoming Memorial Day remembrances. 

If you're a scrapbooker, this set would be wonderful for creating memorable layouts for the heroes in your family past and present.

I spent many years of my life being raised with my siblings in the Army. Before my step-dad joined our family, he spent several years in the Navy. Later, he moved on and joined the Army. Around that time he met my mom and we became a family of 7! He pretty much raised me and I consider him my dad. We have a great relationship and I love him dearly. He is now around 83 years old and I check on him often, since my mom passed away 4 years ago. I'm thankful he lives close by!

You can see him in his Drill Sargent days, in the photos below. He was thrilled to let me borrow some of his memorabilia to use as photo props! There were soooo many pins! I just used a few.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these cards. Of course, I'll be giving one to my dad! Thanks so much for popping in today.

Terri

Summer Slimline Card

Hello friends, I have a summery slimline card to share with you today featuring brand new products from Scrapbook.com, and also the newly released Sizzix + Stacey Parks release. Scrapbook.com is celebrating International Scrapbook Day today in a big way. I'll have a coupon code for you further down, as well as creative details below, including testing out the new Scrapbook.com Lustre white and black brush markers which are great for creating paint splatters. I'll have also have a clickable supply list at the end, if you'd like more product information or wish to shop.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

 

The dimensions of my slimline card are 8 x 3 1/4 inches. As I stated in my previous post, I tend to eyeball everything while creating and measure later, haha. I used Neenah cardstock to trim and score my slimline card.

To start, I grabbed a piece of the Scrapbook.com 6x8 inch white mixed media paper and stamped a few images from the Sizzix/Stacey Park Farfallina stamp set. I also did some masking over my images and then stenciled over the top with the Sizzix/Stacey Park Ecliptic Adornment stencil, ink blending with blender brushes and Catherine Pooler Ink.

I should mention that I watercolored my images with a waterbrush and Catherine Pooler Ink, prior to the stenciling.

Here's a breakdown on the CP inks:

Stenciling: Daydream/Aquatini

Watercoloring: Orange Twist/Catching Rays/Eucalyptus/Daydream

Ink Smooshing: Orange Twist/Aquatini

When I stamped my images above, I spaced them out, because I had intentions of die cutting my images. I used the Sizzix/Stacey Park Alena Arched Circle dies with my Platinum 6 to create these focal, circle images for my card.

Have you seen the new Lustre brush markers from Scrapbook.com? I took the black and white brushes for a spin, and splattered all over my die cut images. It was so easy and I'm already in love with them!

I also die cut some circles as a backing for my images, using the Scrapbook.com Vacation paper pad. I love the colors in this collection. Obviously, they're very summery, which again, fits in nicely with my theme. All of my images and sentiments are popped up on SBC adhesive strips.

I also created an ink smooshed background with Catherine Pooler Inks on the 6x8 inch white mixed media paper. I wanted to tie in all my colors together for this summery card, and of course, I love making pretty messes! I trimmed it down to adhere it nicely to my slimline card.

I trimmed off a leftover ink smooshed strip as a base for my sentiment which are word dies from the Sizzix/Stacey Park Thinlits Swank Spirals die set. I love that you get not only the large dies, but also these cute little word dies with this set. It's like a bonus! The words fit perfectly for the theme of my card, too!

This was such a fun card to make. I love getting inky and incorporating that into my cardmaking. If you'd like to shop for any of the products that I used today, you have until tomorrow to use coupon code CELEBRATE at checkout for an additional 12% off your entire purchase. Be sure and stop by the coupon section for any freebies. As of this writing, there are 3 available but you must add them to your cart. I hope you have a great weekend. See you next time!
