Tim Holtz Papercut Cafe Card w/ Acrylic Block Stamping!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun background for our card using a round acrylic stamping block! This is so much fun and so easy to do! With this technique you’ll be able to create lots of backgrounds in a very short period of time!

We will be inking up the round acrylic block with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Wild Honey, and Ripe Persimmon. Now we can spritz the ink with a bit of water and then press onto the cardstock. I like to let it sit for a second or two…this allows the ink to make a nice transfer. I will talk about this a bit more…and show you some tips and techniques in the video!

Now for a bit more interest, let’s do some stenciling using the Stamperia Create Happiness Stencil using the Gathered Twigs ink. To bring everything together we can spatter this background using some white ink and then the Gathered Twigs ink again!

We can also add this same ink around the edges of this panel using a blending brush. Now we can die cut a panel from this background using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Vintage Label dies. We will die cut this label and ink around the edges and then place it back onto the card by popping it up with some foam tape. This will highlight our coffee cup a bit more!

Let’s go ahead and die cut the coffee cup and all of its layers using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Papercut Cafe’ dies. For the layering papers we will be using the Scrapbook.com Smooth Cardstock Paper Pad in the Warms. In the video I will show you how these dies are labeled and how easily you can die cut and assemble the pieces of the cup and steam.

Let’s start layering the card with a pretty floral panel from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Backdrops Volume #1 Paper Pad and we can add a coordinating velvet ribbon from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Velvet Trims Warms collection.

Finally, we can add a few gems using the Tim Holtz Halloween Droplets!

NEW RELEASE – Cat Matchbook w/ Matching Envelope!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card and video were inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge which is called the “Green Galore Challenge”. For this challenge we need to create a card or project using lots of green…in honor of St. Patrick’s Day…but any green will do. Just have fun with the color green!

I really wanted to challenge myself so I decided to use the BRAND NEW Matchbook Cats Set (5730). So our walls, furniture, pillows, rug, etc. will be done in a variety of greens. I would never have used this combination on my own without this challenge. That is why these challenges are so great…they really help you get inspired to look at your supplies in a whole new way…and maybe combine things together that you may not normally think of doing.

Just keep in mind that you will need the MB Template Dies (5317) to create the base of the card and you will need the MB Envelope Dies (5318) to create the coordinating envelope.

I will give you all of the instructions for assembling the little matchbook and envelope! These are so much fun to create and collect. There are LOTS AND LOTS of matchbook designs to choose from but this little cat set is brand new and just so very cute!

The new release also includes the following Matchbook Sets: MB Chicken (5731), and MB Tool Shed (5729)! These new sets are just so cute and will be a great addition to your Matchbook collection!

We will be using some absolutely beautiful papers today from the 49 and Market 6″x8″ Spectrum Sherbet Collection Pack – Tidal Wave set. These papers have all different shades of greens and turquoise greens which are perfect for this project!

All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Emerald Green, Turquoise Green, Ever Green, Lt Green, Deep Green, Moss Green, Brick Beige, Beige, Lt Brown, Brown, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Cool Gray #6.

Please join us in our new challenge….we can’t wait to see what you create!!!

Easy Watercolor Technique with 3-D Embossing Folders…and Hot Foiled Sentiments!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Today we will be creating two elegant embossed cards using a simple and easy watercolor technique!

To get started let’s take a look at the beautiful embossing folder that we will be using today which is the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions – Wildflowers.

Now we can open the embossing folder and apply some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (lighter color first) on the top portion of the folder and then we can run this through our die cutting machine. For the second card we will apply the ink to the top of the embossing folder and then spritz it with a bit of water and run it through.

For the first card we will be using a combination of the Kistch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry inks and for the second card we will be using the Scattered Straw and Abandoned Coral inks. These color combinations are just gorgeous but have some fun playing around with your favorite colors.

Next we can grab a #6 Round Brush and water to blend out the inks a little bit. Now let’s take the darker color and load the brush up with plenty of water and then pick up the darker color and apply some to the centers of the flowers and into some of the crevices of the embossing folder. You can apply as much or as little of this darker color as you like.

Now we can spatter each of these card panels with the darker color. We will use that same larger #6 brush so that we get some large spatters!

To create the sentiments we will be using the Creative Expressions “Smile” Wordies Sentiment Sheets. These sheets are loaded with sentiments and are designed to be used with your Hot Foiling System or simply used just the way they are.

In this video I will give you a few tips for foiling these sentiments. We will use the Spellbinders Glimmer Foil in Polished Brass and Silver.

Next we can assemble the card using some black cardstock to make the sentiment and the background pop out a little bit better!

Finally, let’s add a few pretty metallic gems from Pinkfresh Studio in Silver and Sparkling Champagne!

Metallic Gilding Polish – New Colors!!!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I recently purchase four new Metallic Gilding Polish colors in Sandcastle, Coral Sands, Blue Wave, and Pink Sunset. So I wanted to share them with you! These four colors are fairly new and we will be almost exclusively using these colors today!

This video will be sort of a Part 3 video to my Metallic Gilding Polish videos that I have already done. I will link those videos here so that you can see what I have created using some of the other beautiful colors in this product line. Those two videos are linked below:

Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Cards w/ Metallic Gilding Polish

3D Impressions (Part 2) w/ Metallic Gilding Polish

We will create several backgrounds to start out and then at the end I will show you several examples of cards that I made using these background. I’ll give you lots of tips and tricks for using these beautiful polishes in the video as well.

For our backgrounds today we will be using a couple of stencils from the Tim Holt Collections including the Stampers Anonymous Bouquet Layering Stencil and the Stampers Anonymous Wildflower Stencil. We will also use a wonderful Sizzix 3D Textured Impressions Floral Mandala Embossing Folder.

And to create our cards we will use several products from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Collection including his Quote Chips, Kraft-Stock Cool Colors, Kraft-Stock Metallic Colors. We will also use some dies from his collection including the Sizzix Thinlits Stacked Deckle, Bold Text #1, and Celebration Words: Script Dies!

So let’s get started……

Creating with a Card Sketch using Lawn Fawn Products!!!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a super simple card using the current Lawn Fawn Blog Challenge…which is to create a card using a card sketch as shown below:

This is a great way to get your creative juices flowing….especially if you are in a creative slump. This sketch technique just sort of helps you focus in on a simple idea. Sometimes this can be helpful if you get stuck on what to create. It can be overwhelming sometimes to know where to begin…and this can really help. There are lots of card sketch ideas online that you can easily reference.

To set the scene for our card we will be creating a cloudy background with three layers of clouds…this will give our background lots and lots of texture and dimension! First, we will die cut a cloudy background using the LF Stitched Cloud Backdrop Die. Secondly, we will use the LF Cloudy Stencil to add additional clouds. Thirdly, we will add some stamped and die cut clouds, which we will pop up for added dimension! Now we can spatter the clouds with some sparkle using the LF Liquid Stardust.

Let’s use the LF Rain or Shine Before ’n Afters to add a pretty rainbow and the LF Berry Special Set to add a cute little mouse!

Next we can add a simple sentiment to finish off this cute little scene using a fun banner die from the LF Everyday Sentiments Banner Die Set!

For some of the coloring, we will be using the Tombow Twintone Dual-tip Markers in the bright colors! We will also do some coloring using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens which are listed as follows: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Yellow, Orange, Aquamarine Blue, Cool Gray 3.

File Folder Tab Card – “Hot Mess”

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In todays video we will be playing with the brand new Ai Hot Mess Laugh Lines Set (5518)! This exhausted and overwhelmed little lady has so many fun sentiments to go along with her….but the one that caught my eye right away was the one that says “My brain has too many tabs open”. This made me think of a file folder design as soon as I laid eyes on it!

This design will give us a chance to use both the We R Memory Keepers Tab Punch Board and the Envelope Punch Boards to create this fun card! We can place several fun sentiments on each of the tabs. I will show you how to create the tabs and how to use your envelope punch board to create the file folder! This is a simple way to create this design without a lot of measuring and extra steps.

It is easiest if you select a pretty double-sided paper design that measures 12″x12″. That way the inside and outside of your file folder will both have a pretty pattern. You can always stamps and decorate your own patterned paper design if you wish!

I will give you the simple measurements for the card insert and the layers for your card. The finished card will be a mini slimline size!

For a finishing touch we will add a few shiny silver metallic gems on the front of the file folder!

If you love this little lady… just click here to watch the Mixed Media Tag Card – Sassy Lady video I did using the other brand new Ai Sassy Laugh Lines Set (5517)!

I also mentioned the two videos for the brand new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Set A that are linked here as well:

Art Impressions – Butterfly Beauty w/ Resist and Ink Blending Techniques

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Todays feature card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge which is to create a project that features something that flies or floats….think birds, butterflies, airplanes, balloons, kites or anything else you can think up! Just have fun!

We will be creating an elegant square butterfly card! Let’s start with the beautiful butterflies from the Ai Butterfly Set (5200). We will be stamping and embossing these butterflies using a super fine detail white embossing powder. This will give our butterflies and elegant look! In todays video I will be showing you a simple and fun watercolor technique to color these butterflies by using our Distress Oxide Inks. Today we will be using the brand new Distress Oxide Ink in Saltwater Taffy along with some Picked Raspberry. These two colors will combine beautifully!

Next, with those two Distress Oxide ink colors we will do our background. To start, we will use some clear embossing ink with a gorgeous floral stencil and then apply that same super fine detail white embossing powder. Once the stenciling and embossing is done, we will then do some ink blending with our blending brushes.

For a bit more elegance we will add some pretty gold metallic layers and some delicate two-tone pearl gems!

I’ll show you how to create a matching square envelope using an envelope punch board! I love coordinating a beautiful envelope to go with my card creation…and your friends and family will love it too! Just keep in mind that these square cards do cost a bit more for postage…but I plan on hand delivering mine to a special friend!

Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze – Perspective Butterfly Cards!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun with the Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glazes!!! These embossing powders are unique in that they are a translucent powder…so that anything that is underneath will show through! When it is embossed it creates this beautiful super shiny glazed look…and what is really beautiful is when the colors overlap and create another unique color. We will be using an embossing ink with a sponge dabber for a more precise inking and blending. I’ll be showing you some tips and tricks for blending these embossing colors!

For our focal image, we will be using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Perspective Butterfly, which is a super sized die! It measures approximately 6 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and will completely fill the front of your card. This would also be great for an art journal page as well!

To set the scene for our card, we will be using the Tim Holtz 3-D Texture Fades Lumber embossing folder. This will give us a beautiful rustic backdrop for these bright and shiny butterfly cards. We will ink up this panel with some Distress Oxide inks using some blending brushes. I wanted to keep the butterfly as the focal point and keep the rest of the card very simple.

Finally, we will add some beautiful pearls and sequins for a little bit of dimension and a sentiment using the Tim Holtz Label Stickers (Thoughts and Sentiments).

Art Impressions Grapevine Slimline Card w/ Glitter Pens

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!

Let’s make an elegant slimline card today using the beautiful Art Impressions Grape Border Set (5375)!

For our coloring today, I thought it would be fun to do what I call a Faux Glitter Technique, but is really just some simple coloring using some beautiful gel pens. These gel pens will actually stay wet long enough for us to to some gorgeous blending! This technique makes it look as thought you applied glue and glittered each of these images! I’ll give you a few tips and trick for coloring with these pretty pens!

We will frame our image by adding some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of our lavender card panel.

We will be embossing with white embossing powder on some Kraft cardstock and then layering this onto some textured dot cardstock!

And then…let’s stamp on some pearlescent vellum paper and add a few delicate sequins and a bit of twine for some added dimension!
