Create Your Own Sunshine: Scrapbook Adhesives Hop


Greetings! It's time for another fun hop with the Stampendous team. We are featuring fantastic products by Scrapbook Adhesives this week, and you are sure to fall in love with their products if you don't use and love them already.  And yes, there are of course prizes! Check them out in the banner below, and visit the Stampendous Blog for all of the details regarding them. 

So for my project today, I have a card. Sometimes, you see a stamp, and you just fall in love....right? That's no just me, I hope! Well, that's what happened with this stamp from Stampendous. It's called Create Sunshine. There's just some thing...or things...that I absolutely love on this image, so it was one of the first that I worked on for our April catalog. 


Directions:
1. Stamp the image with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and color using the Tombow colors listed. Die cut the image using the smaller "P" Fitted Frame. Cut the corrugated turquoise cardstock with the larger "P" Fitted Frame. Use foam squares to pop the colored layer up off of the turquoise mat. 

2. Create the card base using Banana Pepper cardstock cut to 8" x 5 1/2" and fold in half. Sprinkle Chunky White Embossing Enamel around the edges of the card base and heat set from underneath. It's good to work with only 2 sides at a time so that the enamel doesn't spill before you heat set it. 

3. Cut cork sheet with Letter "B" and cut in half (on the short side). Affix to the card base with Zip Dry glue. Attach mat and top layer to card base with more foam squares.

Below you'll see a photo of one of my daughter's dress-up dresses. You may recognize it.... It's Anna's from Frozen Fever. I didn't realize how nicely it coordinated with the dress until I had finished the card. She had been wearing it for days before I made the card, so I guess I was subconsciously influenced by it.

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
