Mixed-Ability Challenge - Inchies

 

Seems I keep running a week behind on the Splitcoast Mix-Ability challenges!  I actually had this card created just a few days after the challenge was posted, but am just now getting around the posting.  Ah, the holidays, they're keeping me hopping and away from posting!

Last week's challenge was to create a card using inchies.  Remember inchies?  Tiny little squares that can be used to decorate the background of a card or to highlight a particular image....It's also a great way to use up some of your gelli plate prints!  Love 'em!  

 My card started with some vintage text paper, pasted on a piece of chipboard.  I then added some embossing paste through a stencil.  Once the paste was dry, I mixed umber acrylic paint with glazing medium (use equal parts of both).  I brushed the paint on over the text/paste, waiting about a minute, and then used a baby wipe to remove the access.  What's left behind is a fabulously aged background!

I then used a 1" square punch to punch out four squares from a scrap piece of tag that had been covered with gesso and Distress Stains.  Each square was then mounted on a 1 1/4" square of brown cardstock.  I added the tiniest bit of black text to each square, using the Typewriter Text background stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy.  The little circle is from the Seeing Spots set (also from SNSS) and the image was embossed with Wendy Vecchi embossing powder.  I die cut a tiny butterfly shape, using the Monarch Dies set, and then stamped the detail using the coordinating Majestic Monarchs set.  Finally, I added a bit of gold twine around the bottom of the inchie piece before attaching to a plain card base.

Now...on to complete this week's Mix-Ability challenge!  Enjoy!

Sweet 'n Sassy Featured Stamps of 2014 - The Future

 

Happy Monday!  Today Sweet 'n Sassy is continuing their month long celebration, featuring a select group of sets.  (Hit the SNSS blog to see more goodies!)  My card features the sentiment set, The Future.  This set includes 10 sentiments for only $15!  What a great deal!

  I used a whole bunch of other sets on my card (why use just one?!) today.  The text background, over the grey polka dot paper is the Friendship Script background set.  This is a stamp that I use again and again...it's such a great image to use as an accent or background.  Love it!  I also framed my sentiment using the Decorative Frames stamp set.  I adore being able to add aa edge design to the frame...how divine!  Finally, I couldn't create a card without including some butterflies so I die cut three of these beauties, using the Majestic Monarchs die set and then used the matching stamps to decorate.  (I just die cut the butterflies out of a piece of scrap paper that was already inked).  The velvet flower and stick pins are from Maya Road.

Hope you enjoyed today's card!  Be sure to check back tomorrow or a new mixed media 3-D project, Wednesday is the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (LOTS of prizes up for grabs), Thursday I'll be sharing a card featuring some fun mixed media techniques, and Friday Sweet 'n Sassy will be featuring another set!  Lots of action on the blog this week...don't miss the fun!

Sweet 'n Sassy Release Celebration - Monarch Dies

 

And we're down to our last day of the release celebration...it's always sad when it's all over...Except now you can go shopping for all of the new goodies!  WooHoo!!!

Today's post features the new Monarch Dies, which just so happen to go perfectly with the Majestic Monarchs stamp set!  And during the release you can get both of them for the bundled price of only $26.75!

Since I had so much fun with all that white space on yesterday's card, I decided to carry that theme through to today's card!  Another embossed background (embossing folders are so much fun!) and a big 'ol circle for the beautiful sentiment.  I then die cut the butterflies and used Distress Paint to color them.  Once the paint was dry, I simply used Archival ink to stamp the image on to the die cut.  Then I gave their wings a little bend and attached each butterfly with foam tape.  Easy peasy!

Sweet 'n Sassy Release Day - Majestic Monarchs

Welcome to day 4 of our July feature Blog Hops!  Today we're featuring the gorgeous new set called Majestic Monarchs.

For my card I decided to try that nice layering technique that so many card designers showcase today...humm...I think I need practice but this sure was a great way to show off these beautiful new stamps!!  Butterflies...ohhh...I love them!!!

I create the butterflies by first misting cardstock with a variety of Dylusions Ink Sprays.  I then stamped my butterflies onto the cardstock, fussy cut the butterflies, and covered the largest one with glitter glaze....'cause a girl's gotta have her bling!

 I then layered up some designer paper, tissue tape, paper doily, and twine before adding the sentiment...stamped on vellum...to complete the card!  More details on this great new set below!!

 

• Stamp set includes 6 images & 3 sentiments
• Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
• The largest butterfly measures approximately 2 1/2" x 1 3/4"
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Priced at $15
