Gift tag for a friend

Hello and welcome, 

I needed a gift tag for my friends birthday, so I made one with Minnie for her. 

I used an old Bigz die and made a tag from Distress watercolor paper and then I used Tim’s Microglaze technique with the THS003 stencil. I used Distress spray stain in Fossilized amber. 

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine and inked the edges with black soot Distress ink. 

Then I stamped the “filmstrip” stamp with Distress embossing ink and used Black embossing powder. Heated with embossing gun. I used the Tiny attacher to attach a piece of Ideaology filmstrip. 

I stamped the background with another stamp from CMS081 At the movies with black soot Archival ink.

The text is diecut from black and red cardstock with 666606 Vault world travel, layered and glued a little bit offset for dimension. Then I used a white Posca pen for highlights.(Grattis means congratulations in Swedish)

Minnie is cut with the Spellbinders die and are cut from Watercolor cardstock and colored with Distress inks. I used a white Posca pen for highlights. 

I used a piece of Echo park Mouse and me washi tape and “made a stitch” around the tape with black Posca pen.

To finish the tag off I used a black and white string at the top. I also made some stitches around the reinforcer with black Posca. 

I will try this tag over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge -Add some text

SPF 1000 Summerween pumpkin card

Hello and welcome, 

This is my third make as a guest designer for Whimsy stamps Summerween. 

I started with the background and stamped the pumpkin stamps on post-it notes twice, cut them out and used as masks when I stamped the 15 pumpkins on watercolor paper. 

I colored one pumpkin in different colors and the other 14 in black shades. 

I decorated three of the corners with orange half pearles. 

I cut a text from the Quick card front pack, sanded the edges and then colored the sentence in orange. 

I cut the film strip die from black kraft stock. Cut one frame and sanded. I also stitched the edges of the background with black thread with my sewing machine and then inked the edges with black ink. 

I adhered the frame with 3D foam for dimension and gave the pumpkin a pair of ”googly eyes” 🙂. 

I also stamped the wave stamp a couple of times on the bottom of the card. 

I mounted the background on a piece of white cardstock with 3D foam for dimension. Inked the edges with black ink. 

Then I made a cardbase from black cardstock. 

Products used: Summerween Scream Clear stamps CWSD425a, Slimline Film strip die WSD463, text from Quick card fronts.

Cool cat - Birthday card for my Dear Dad

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have a birthday card for my Dear Dad to share❤️. 

A while a ago when Katzelkraft had a final sale I was lucky to caught some of their stamps. This cat was one of them. Other products are from Tim Holtz.

 

I started to cut a piece of Watercolor cardstock. Used the THS145 Stencil Digits and Distress Microglaze as a resist. This is such a cool technique. Then I sprayed Distress spray stains and Distress Oxide spray. The Microglaze resist the spray and gives such a cool look. Heated with Heat tool. 

Then I stamped some stamps on the background. Some using Black embossing powder and some with Archival ink. 

I used the same stencil and choose a part of the stencil that has number 84 on a row, and then used black Texture paste. (My Father turned 84 years). #happybirthday is stamped and embossed with black embossing powder. 

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine, and I also inked the edges with Ground espresso Distress ink. I used Alcohol ink in Mushroom to color to Hardware heads for the upper corners on the card. The number strip is an Idea-ology Number strip which I fastened with a Tiny clip. 

I stamped the cat on Watercolor paper and colored it with Distress inks. Cut it out, inked the edges and adhered it to the card with 3D foam for dimension. 

I inked the edges on three small Ephemera pieces and adhered them with some glue and a long fastener. 

I used some Ideaology Cello sticker tape as decoration as well.

I mounted the card with 3D foam on a dark grey piece of cardstock and then made a card base from White cardstock that I inked the edges on. 

Products used: Watercolor cardstock, Distress Micro glaze, Distress spray stains, Distress Oxide spray, Black texture paste, Distress ink Ground espresso, Alcohol ink - Mushroom

Stamps: Katzelkraft Cat Detective, CMS489 Deconstructed, CMS403 Glitch, CMS183 Hashtags

Happy Summerween

Hello and welcome, 

Summerween is in full swing over at Whimsy stamps and this is my second make as a guest desiner for them. 

For this make I have used some Kraft cardstock which I colored with Distress inks and Oxides. I diecut the paper with the Terrific tickets die and stamped with embossing ink. Then used white embossing powder, and heated. 

I colored the stamped image with Distress inks and Distress oxides, and used a white Posca pen for highlight. 

I splattered some black acrylic paint on the background as well.

I used one of the text strips from the Quick card fronts, sanded the edges and used a white Posca pen around the text.

I used some black enamel accents in the corners of the card, and some glossy accents on the glasses. 

I mounted the card on orange and green cardstock with 3D foam between layers for dimension. Then I made a black cardbase from heavy cardstock.

Products used: Summerween Scream clear stamps CWSD425a, Summerween Scream outline die set WSD053, Terrific tickets die WSD036 and Quick cardfronts.

I hope you get inspired by this and all the other designer’s beautiful creations with this funny release!
