Double Scoops Ice Cream Card for Scrapbook.com

Hello my crafty friends! Where's my ice cream lovers? I have another card to share for Scrapbook.com featuring their new A2 cardstock. Today's card features the Classic cardstock, paired with lots of other yummy products available in the shop. I love making sweet treat cards and had an absolute blast creating this delicious card. Scroll down for a few creative details. You'll find my clickable supply list at the end, as well.

One of the things I love about the various collections of the new A2 cardstock, is each color has a specific name. The colors I chose for my my project are:

Petal Pink, Chocolate, Yellow and Kraft

I'm also using patterned papers from the Hooray paper pad. They coordinate so nicely with my cardstock colors!

To create the splatters for my peppermint chip ice cream, I used Catherine Pooler Designs ink in Cargo. Simply press some of the ink on a craft mat, spritz with a small amount of water, then use a damp paint brush to grab the mix. Keeping the paint brush raised, approximately 6" above your project, tap the brush to distribute the splatters. 

I keep a big sheet of used bubble wrap handy to cover my craft desk and do my splatter techniques.

I also used the Nested Vintage Label Dies to create the backdrop to my ice cream cones. I wanted to give my die cut with the cone patterned paper a little more definition, so I did some partial die cutting with the chocolate cardstock, using just the top and bottom edge of my die cuts as backing to my cone patterned paper.

 

Of course, let's not forget to mention the Scoops of Fun dies! They absolutely brought this fun project to life. They make such awesome birthday cards. My vision for this card, surprisingly, came together rather quickly. The die cuts are quick and easy to assemble. I probably spent more time deciding which patterned papers I wanted to use, haha!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Let me know if you have any questions, in the comment section. Have a good day and stay crafty!

Peeking Butterflies Card for Scrapbookcom

Hello cardmakers. Today I've got another card created for Scrapbook.com featuring their new A2 size cardstock packs. They sold out a few weeks ago and are now back in stock. It's a hot item so grab some before they sell out again! There's 5 different packs you can purchase separately, or grab the bundle. It comes in Glimmer, Classic, Heavyweight, Swiss Dot and Canvas. Scroll down for details on my Peeking Butterflies Card!

 (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 cardstock packs I'm creating with today are Glimmer and Swiss Dot.

I started by die cutting lots of butterflies from the Cottage die set. Some will serve as the backing for the top layer of butterflies. I lightly tacked them in the center and also scored the top butterflies in the center so the wings would be lifted.

I wanted to add some Pops of Color in Soft Lavender on top of those tiny holes cut out on the butterfly wings. To keep my liquid embellishment from seeping through, I simply placed thin strips of 1/4" mint tape on the back side of the wings, as pictured below.

Now here's a really cool trick.  I applied my Pops of Color at the end, after my card was completely assembled and here's why. To get your liquid embellishment to flatten and look like enamel dots, just slap your card against the top of your desk or whatever surface you are creating on. Don't be too aggressive, haha, just give it a little slap. It will flatten those liquid dots right out. Cool, huh? You can see the before and after below.

Now, the frame that I die cut using white cardstock is the A2 Stitched Scallop Block Frame. I simply punched out all 6 center pieces and backed my frame with some pretty plaid paper from the Market Bloom paper pad.

Let me also mention, to get my butterflies to look like they pop out, I pulled each butterfly through the window frame, lightly tacked it to the backside of my scalloped die cut frame, then trimmed off the excess part of the wing on the back side. I did this before adhering the plaid paper behind it.

Lastly, I used a really great sentiment from the Woodland Enchanted Forest Stamp/Die set. I wanted a longer sentiment that I could break up and spread out across my card, so I used my stamp positioner and used the masking technique to stamp, and then heat emboss, one line at a time. I did this on the textured Glimmer cardstock. I love how it looks and it's such a lovely quote!

Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like more information on any of the products that I used today, or wish to add some of these absolutely fabulous products to your own craft space, simply tap any of the affiliate links I've provided below. 

I hope you have an amazing day. Stay crafty!

Sea Monster Shaped Card for Scrapbook.com

Hello crafty friends. I'm so happy to be sharing several projects in the coming days for Scrapbook.com, with exciting news. They now are carrying their own line of premium cardstock! The A2 size variety pack bundle is already sold out but you can visit my link and be notified when it's back in stock. There's also 12x12 inch single sheets with weight measurements between 80-100 lb. The Glimmer cardstock is 80# weight.

The cardstock comes in 5 different styles: Classic, Glimmer, Canvas, Swiss Dot and Heavyweight, with 165 total colors! Wow! Scroll down for more details on today's card that features the Glimmer A2 size cardstock from the variety pack bundle.

 (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 glimmer cardstock colors that I'm using for today's card are:

Granite, Sandpaper, Glacier Blue and Bedazzled Blue

I'm also creating with one of the Octopus dies from the Coastal Charms die set, a sentiment from the Hooked On You stamp & die set, and the largest die from the Nested Elegant Circle Mandalas die set which measures 4.2 inches.

To begin, I scored and trimmed a vertical 5x5 inch card using white cardstock, placing the die just over the top edge of the vertical line, then die cut with my Platinum 6 die cut system.

Important tip: Stack all your paper die cuts to make sure they line up correctly before tearing your paper. I had one that was rotated differently and it didn't line up correctly. This is important so they all line up properly on your die cut shaped card. 

I started by tearing my Sandpaper cardstock, then worked my way up using the other two colors. This is solid core cardstock and I love the way it looks.

Next, I made two die cuts with the Octopus die with the Glimmer Granite cardstock, trimming several of the tentacles from one of the die cuts

I didn't fully adhere my cardstock along the top edge, so I could instead apply adhesive to my tentacles and tuck them under the edge of the paper.

To ink my sentiment, I used my stamp positioner with Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I also splattered some white paint and ink blended along the top of my card with Catherine Pooler On The Lake ink and blender brushes.

I had so much fun making this card and I hope it inspires you! Tap any of the highlighted affiliate products throughout this post to browse for more information or shop my affiliate supply list below. Thanks so much for stopping by!
