New Release Ranger Ink Award Winning Card

Hey there crafty friends. Today, I'm sharing one of two new Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stamp, Die & Stencil sets called "Award Winning". This is such a great set to recognize accomplishments for those amazing people in your life. I wish I had this in my possession before my teenager graduated from high school. So great for your athlete kids, band kids, mom, dad, teachers.....the list goes on!

(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.)

For this card, I stenciled my background using an older stamp set called Flower Pot and one of Wendy's new ink releases, Mulberry, using the new Ranger Mini Domed Blender Applicators.

(I should mention, the new release products should be available online and in most stores mid-late  March. Click any of the links below to be notified for when they arrive!)

I decided to go with a black and white theme with pops of red. This design is great for creating multiples in a reasonable amount of time!! Bonus!

I also die cut an additional black layer to back my trophy and base, for a silhouette effect that I think really makes this stand out. I popped up the inside circle of my ribbon and banner with foam adhesive, to offer more dimension. I'm totally saving this one for Father's Day!

 

Thank so much for popping in today. I hope you'll love these products as much as I do! I appreciate you using my affiliate links. It doesn't cost a thing for you to do so and it's much appreciated!  If you've never shopped directly from Ranger, be sure and sign up to receive 20% off your first retail purchase. And be sure to sign up for loyalty rewards! Have a great day!  Terri

Mini Slimline Kitty Mug Card

Hello friends, I'm popping in to share some awesome new products from Catherine Pooler Designs. I made this sweet mini-slimline card featuring images from the new Mug Shots stamp set and Daily Grind paper pack, watercoloring with inks from the Date Night collection and stamping with Icing On the Cake and Midnight.

Here's a quick tip to get the reverse image of the mug. Stamp just the cup, masking the handle with tape. Then, mask the cup and flip the stamp upside down so the handle is on the right, then stamp!  Easy peasy!

Holiday Release at Crackerbox and Suzy Stamps!

Hey crafty guys and girls! I'm guest designing and hopping with the design team today, for the new holiday release at Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps! They've got some adorable products being released and I know you'll want to hop along, check out the new release, current sales and prizes up for grabs! But first, scroll down for creative tips on my mini slimline 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.)

 

Slimline cards are all the rage right now. The standard slimline card stands on average at 9" tall. The mini slimline typically is 6" tall. The stamp images that I'm using today are rather large so I scaled down to a 6" card, to keep the focus on these seasonal cuties:

Santa Large (new)

Reindeer Large (new)

and Christmas Tree Fun

I started with a black base layer for my slimline card and created some snowy slopes using a stitched die with my die cut machine. I left black space between my slopes, to create a shadow effect and add interest. 

Next, I colored up Santa and his reindeer with Copic markers and used my Scan N Cut to turn them into die cuts that I could place anywhere on my card. I did the same for my tree, only I stamped an extra image on patterned paper and fussy cut two portions to place over my original image, keeping my tree mostly white with a pop of red.

Lastly, I used white acrylic paint to dot onto my night sky, then heat embossed the new release sentiment called "Hey Santa", onto trimmed cardstock, and adhered to my card. A bit of trimmed ribbon and embellishments from 28 Lilac Lane, finish off my card. I really love the size of these stamps which work well for scrapbooking too. You can even get the kids involved and make a bunch of cute holiday tags. So many uses!

Now, for the new release, not only will you receive 25% off through Oct. 19th, but the October sale is still going strong on Fall, Thanksgiving and more with 20% off those categories through the end of the month, as well. Sweet!

Be sure and stop by the Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps blog and follow the directions to be entered to win a $25 or $50 gift certificate. Woo hoo! Spend it on stamps, inks, whatever your little heart desires!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will help support my little corner of the world and shop with my affiliate links, highlighted and scattered throughout this post. It helps me to buy a coffee and maybe one for the hubs, and at no extra cost to you! Thank you!

Terri

Patriotic Gnome Card

I'm hopping on here to quickly share this patriotic card for several challenges.  This features several Photo Play Paper collections that I'll mention below with included affiliate shopping links! I do receive a small commission if you make a purchase, at no cost to you. ❤

For my gnome from the Tulla and Norbert stamp set, I did some serious masking and extended Norbert's arm so he can properly salute the Pledge of Allegiance.  I also stamped on a sticker to paper piece his hat. The stickers and paper collection are from the Land of the Free collection. The masking would not have been possible without my mini Misti! 

Beachy Unicorn Card

Hey crafty friends! I'm feeling the summer vibes with the new release from Pink & Main!

This card features the Beach Unicorn stamp set, among other lovely products from P & M. But seriously, floating unicorns? Yes, please! Scroll down for a few creative details and I'll have convenient affiliate product links available 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.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

First, I used a mirror image stamp technique where you do some reverse image stamping.  It's super easy and requires a big 'ole piece of rubber for this (see product links at the end of this post).  It fits nicely inside the mini Misti stamp positioner.  You simply stamp your image onto the rubber two or three times to get a good inking which is why you should use a stamp positioner. Then, gently press and rub your cardstock (for coloring images) into the ink.  It's not a perfect science but I usually touch up any areas that I need to with a fine tip black Copic pen.

I used a variety of Copic Markers to color my palm trees and unicorn, and accented with a white gel pen.  As you can see, I decided to cut up my colored unicorn image and have her floating in the waves.  It's ok to chop up your paper! 

For my background, I used a pretty orange/pink paper from my paper pad, then inked up some clouds with my stencil.  If you use the stencil edges, you can flip them upside for waves! Don't you love a product that has duality?  I know I do.

I've nicknamed my unicorn Prissy and Prissy needs a beach towel to dry off. Here's a neat trick. Score some lines on your cardstock, then rub over them with a cardboard nail file.  I thought it gave a super cool "sand" effect. You can't hit the beach without getting sand all over your towel! To finish off my card, I added Nuvo drops in my clouds and on my beach, and hand drew some little star fish that I fussy cut and embellished.

This was such a fun card to make and I hope I've given you some good ideas to try out. Hope your summer is all it can be, despite the current health climate!  Take care and stay healthy!

Terri
