Lollipop Party Favors and Gift Card Holder!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create some pretty party favors and a matching gift card holder for a special occasion! We are going to be creating some Spring favors but these would be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, anniversary party, birthday party, or even a graduation! Just change out your colors and sentiment to coordinate with your event!

These party favors were inspired by the current Art Impressions “Fabulous Flowers” Blog Challenge which is to create a card or project using any flowers of your choosing! Please feel free to join us in this fun challenge by entering your special card…we would love to see what you create!

We will start by stamping and coloring the floral arrangement for the front of the lollipops. To do this we will be using the Ai Front Porch Valentine Set (5493). This little tulip floral container is the perfect size for our project! Now we can color in this image using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Pale Green, Lt Green, Lt Blue, English Lavender.

Next let’s create our rosettes using the Ai Easter Paper Pack (5742) in the lavender polka dot paper. We will cut this paper into strips measuring 3/4″ x 6″. We can fold these using the fan fold technique and assemble the little rosettes. I’ll show you exactly how to create these in today’s video!

Once the rosettes are done we can add our floral arrangement to the front of the rosette. The entire piece can now be added to the front of the lollipop.

We will also create a fun tag for each of the lollipops using the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734) which says “Spring is in the Air”. We will die cut each of the sentiments from the tag die in the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Now we can add a bit of color around the edges of each of the tags using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Shaded Lilac. Let’s add these tags to the lollipops!

We will also be creating a coordinating gift card holder in this video using the pocket die from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) and that same pretty paper pack. We will also be stamping a sentiment on the gift card holder using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) which will say “Treat Yourself”. This is perfect for our lollipop treats!

Let’s add a few pretty sequins to the gift card holder as a finishing touch!

MINI SHAKER – using your paper scraps!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s use up some of our pretty paper scraps and create a mini shaker element for today’s card! We can begin by die cutting a rectangle panel using the Ai Nested Rectangle Die Set (5724). Now let’s grab some of our leftover paper scraps…I’m using my scraps from the Ai Easter Paper Pack (5742). We will be cutting these papers into 1/2″ strips and attaching them to the front of this rectangular panel. You can place your strips either horizontally or vertically or even on an angle. By using a pretty paper pad like this one, you can be sure that all of your paper strips will coordinate very nicely with each other!

Now we can die cut a larger rectangle with that same die set using the Lawn Fawn Sparkle Cardstock in Pixie Dust and then layer these panels onto the front of our card base.

Next let’s stamp and color our little pup. This image is from the Ai Birthday Journal Set (5722) which is part of the newer Watercolor Journal Series! This sweet image was colored in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Aquamarine Blue, Lilac, Lt Gray Platinum Brown. We will fussy cut this image with our detail scissors.

Now we can build the MINI SHAKER element…so much fun! We will be using the Ai Journal Oval Frames Set (5588) for the scallop circle and the Ai Nested Circle Die Set (5726) to create the scalloped frame. In this video I will show you how to assemble this little shaker element for your card! It’s very simple and easy to do!!!

Next we can die cut several flowers from the Ai Journal Oval Frames Set (5588) and some little white sprigs from the Ai Journal Rectangle Frames Set (5591).

Let’s assemble the shaker with the flowers and sprigs for a pretty little arrangement at the bottom of the shaker. And we can repeat the sparkly gems that we used inside the shaker on the center of each of the flowers!

Going back to the Birthday Journal Set we can die cut the “Celebrate” sentiment that is included with this stamp set. We will use the same sparkle cardstock and attach this to a delicate piece of vellum paper. This will give our sentiment a more elegant look!

Tim Holtz Flower Field w/ Alcohol Pearl Backgrounds!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s start by creating some beautiful backgrounds using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks! We will be using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Dura Bright in Black Opaque Matte for our inking surface. This synthetic paper will allow the inks, mixatives and blending solution to blend nicely and easily. In the video I will talk more about the different effects and looks that you can get using these alcohol pearl inks.

We will then add a bit of iCraft Deco Foil in gold and silver to these backgrounds. This will also give some increased sparkle and elegance to the backgrounds.

Next we can die cut the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Flower Field Die in some heavyweight black cardstock. And then we will grab a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Bold Text #1 Die Set which will say “Make a Wish”. We will die cut the sentiment out of this black cardstock and then we will place the letters back into place using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Kraft-stock Metallic Classics in gold and silver. I’ll also show you a few little tricks for easily placing these letters back into place!

Let’s add a beautiful butterfly to each of our cards using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Botanical Layers!

Finally, let’s add a few sparkly gems for added interest and dimension. We will be using the Pinkfresh Studio Metallic Pearls in Sparkling Champagne and the Buttons Galore and More Jewel Embellishments in Silver!

Front Porch Patriotic Card w/ Metallic Texture Paste!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a brand new front porch stamp and die set to show you today! This fantastic set is the Ai Front Porch Patriotic Set (5494) and includes all of the add-on items needed to create a beautifully patriotic front porch scene! Please note that you will need the Ai Front Porch Set (5512) to create the basic front porch and door. I’ll talk a bit more about that in the video and give you a closer look at that set!

To set the scene for our card we will be creating a star filled sky using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in several beautiful blues and for some added dimension we will be using the wonderful Ranger Texture Paste in Metallic White! This paste literally goes on like butter and just adds so much texture and dimension to our starry sky!

Next we can stamp, color and die cut all of our patriotic images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Peach Pink, Carmine Red, Yellow, Smoky Yellow, Ever Green, Blue Gray, Blue, Lt Gray, Gray, Beige, Mid Brown.

For the sentiment let’s go to the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566) and select “Warmest Wishes” and stamp it onto the banner from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). This will be a great place to put the red, white and blue banner!

Let’s assemble the card and add a few sparkly stars to the pillow, mat, bucket and star!

This card is going to be great for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Veterans Day or any birthday celebrations that occur around these holidays! This is just such a great addition to the Front Porch Series….I hope you love this set as much as I do!

SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE – Queen of Craft!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a fun and crafty card using the Ai Queen of Craft (5563) stamp set. This set is just perfect to create cards for your fellow stampers and scrapbookers! We will be using a simple spotlight technique in order to highlight just a small section of this image. This will reduce the amount of coloring that is needed….especially for those of you who don’t love the coloring process…or for those of you who are looking for a quicker way to use your large images or backgrounds.

We can start by stamping the image twice and then cutting the full image out using the Ai Nested Square Dies (5725) and the Ai Nested Oval Dies (5727) to cut out the area that is going to be in the spotlight!

Next we can color in the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Orange, Yellow, Peach Pink, Lilac, Turquoise Green, Lt Green, Lt Gray, Beige.

We can go back to the nested square dies to create the layers of pink and green for our card and for the sentiment on the inside of the card. These nested die sets have a large selections of sizes which is great for layering your cards as well as creating frames of various sizes!

Now let’s use the fun and festive Lawn Fawn Splatter Stencil to create a colorful background using several pastel colors of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. We will also use this stencil to create a matching envelope!

Next we can die cut the “Crafty” sentiment die that is included in the stamp set. I die cut this in several colors but did decide on the pink one….of course!

Let’s glue all of our layers on to the card and then add a bit of baker’s twine in pink/white around the bottom of the card and tie it into a pretty bow.

We can add some sparkle to the sentiment with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen and we can add this to some of the other images as well.

Let’s add a few heart gems in a pastel pink from the Dress My Craft collection. The final step will be to stamp and assemble the sentiment for the inside of the card and add the little cluster of paint brushes (included in the stamp set) underneath the sentiment.

This finishes off our simple spotlight design. I hope you decide to give this fun technique a try!

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!

GLOSSY GLAZE – Stenciled Birthday Cards!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a set of birthday cards using a brand new set of stamps from the Ai Watercolor Series. We will be using the slice of birthday cake image for our cards and this image is from the Ai Birthday Journal Set (5722). This small image will be simple and easy to color which is exactly what you want when you are creating multiple cards.

Let’s stamp this little slice of cake along with the sentiment. We will stamp all of these at the same time and create a little production line!

Next we can color in all three of the cakes using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lilac, Bright Yellow, Beige, Lt Gray, Gray.

Now we can do some stenciling using the Hero Arts Lacy Floral Stencil Square. This is just so pretty and delicate. But the show stopper will be the Cosmic Shimmer Glossy Glazes that we will be stenciling with today. These are a translucent glaze that dries so shiny and beautiful. Once this glaze is dry you can cut it with your paper trimmer or you can even die cut with it….just be sure the glaze is completely dry!

To frame up the image and sentiment we will be using the Ai Journal Rectangle Frames (5591). These little scalloped squares are going to frame everything nicely. These frames will be in a medium gray and we will use this same gray cardstock as a layer on the cards.

Let’s go ahead and assemble the cards and add a bit of Baker’s Twine in coordinating colors! For a finishing touch we can add some Pinkfresh Studio Ombre’ Glitter Drops in Twilight, Pixie Dust, and Sparkle & Shine!

Now you have a fun set of birthday cards to give as a gift or just to have ready to go when you need them!

Magical Rainbow Puppies Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Who doesn’t love puppies and rainbows! This card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge! The challenge is called “April Showers” and for this challenge we are looking for cards that include clouds, rain, rainbows, puddles, and umbrellas, etc.

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring our little puppies using the Ai WC Dog Set (4959). There are six sweet little pups in this set and we will be using all of them for this card. All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Mustard, Lt Gray, Lt Brow, Beige, Platinum Brown, Mid Brown.

To set the scene for our card we will be inking the sky background using some Tim Holtz Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink. Then we can give this a spatter using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen. This will give the sky a pretty sparkly effect!

Next we can create the grassy border using a grassy border die and ink this up using the Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

Now we can create our pretty rainbow using some polka dot pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles Petite Paper Pad. This will give us a fun pastel polka dot rainbow! To create the rainbow, sun, clouds and sentiment we will use the Sizzix Thinlits Rainbow Magic die set!

Let’s quickly color in the sun using the Distress Inks in Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade. We can also die cut several of the suns and stack them up for some additional dimension.

For the sentiment we will be using some sparkly glitter paper and also stack up a few layers as we did with the sun.

Finally, we can assemble this card! I really hope this card inspires you to make a card for our fun Springtime challenge….we can’t wait to see what you create!

Distress Sprays vs Distress Ink Pads w/ Layering Stencils

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun with our Distress Sprays, Distress Ink Pads and Layering Stencils! We will be using the beautiful Layered Peony stencil from the Sizzix Layered Stencils Collection. This is a four part layering stencil. Please note that this is designed to be used with the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool. You will notice that these 4 stencils have two holes punched at the top of the stencil….this is so that you can easily line up each layer of your stencils on the pegs of the stamping tool. This tool will ensure perfect alignment every time! However, you can easily use these stencils without the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool and I will be showing you that today.

In order to ensure that no inks will leak underneath the stencils while we are using the Distress Sprays, we will be spraying them with the Pixie Spray. This will give the stencils a sticky back and allow the stencils to lay flat and adhere to the paper temporarily while we do the spraying.

Let’s create a beautiful pink peony background using the Distress Sprays in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries. You will want to heat set the colors after each layer of the stenciling. This background will have a beautiful watercolor effect!

For the second card we will be using the Distress Oxide Ink Pads in the same colors that we used in the sprays. This background will be a bit more detailed and crisp.

I wanted to give you a few different ways to use these layering stencils to get a completely different look! This will hopefully help you stretch your stencils for some interesting backgrounds.

We will add a beautiful silver metallic butterfly from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Scribbly Butterflies Die Set. For paper we will use the Tim Holtz idea-ology Kraft-Stock – Metallic Classics.

Next we can create our sentiment label usng the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Vintage Labels Dies. These dies not only die cut the shape but also emboss a beautiful edge which adds lots of dimension and interest. The “Thinking of You” sentiment is from the Scrapbook.com Cards for Kindness Stamps – Handmade Essentials Set. We will emboss the sentiment using the Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Let’s go ahead and create the 6″x6″ card base and add the silver layer and then the pink peony background for each of our cards..

Finally, we can add some sparkle with the pretty Pinkfresh Studio Ombre Glitter Drops in Twighlight!
