Welcome back to my blog. Today's project features images from the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/digital-page-with-small-calendar-and-versatile-green-themed-images-2024-march-pam-bray-designs.html">Blank Page Muse March 2024 Digital Page</a>. This digital set includes mostly St. Patrick's Day themed images. A few of the ephemera can be used for another occasion like I did with today's project.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I downloaded the paper strip image and cropped the strip to separately print the pattern. I printed a pattern on one side of the paper, and printed the other pattern on the other side to come up with a double sided patterned paper. I made this paper into a gift card envelope using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I cropped the daffodil from the ephemera sheet. I printed three daffodils, with one slightly larger than the other two, and the other one flipped for a different orientation. I fussy cut these daffodils, leaving a small white border around it. To fit the daffodils in the envelope, I did a bit of surgery, trimming off a part of the bunch. </p><p style="text-align: left;">For the card base, I trimmed a cream cardstock at 10" x 3 3/4". I scored this in half on the long side, coming up with a 5" x 3 3/4" card. I scored the front of the card base at 2 1/4".</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuJcXFb8tsUKpvdNPHjIMl5f7mujGWN8Q7TMSZZe5CECtizcLZI11VdTr7q11_9F2r_gRvH0B155Acu1ez699p-dZm3iC2UcuwkLX1XXLVis66dZ-lArkOmk7Ed6p5vlFnNvwGUY8wbEiFvRZeYLxZ_miPNlYA53EI-EDq27XDEk_dZTEH0zWtLfjAOs/s1920/IMG_3116.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1358" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuJcXFb8tsUKpvdNPHjIMl5f7mujGWN8Q7TMSZZe5CECtizcLZI11VdTr7q11_9F2r_gRvH0B155Acu1ez699p-dZm3iC2UcuwkLX1XXLVis66dZ-lArkOmk7Ed6p5vlFnNvwGUY8wbEiFvRZeYLxZ_miPNlYA53EI-EDq27XDEk_dZTEH0zWtLfjAOs/w283-h400/IMG_3116.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I trimmed a scrap of the double sided printed paper at 5" x 2 1/4".

I blended ink to the the raised areas with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the sentiment, I adhered the scrap daffodils on a cream cardstock.

Welcome back to my blog. Today's project is another innovative way of using stencils. The stencil I am using is the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/clouds-drops-5x5-inch-mixed-media-stencil-bpmstclouds.html">Blank Page Muse Clouds & Drops 5x5" Mixed Media Stencil</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I lightly traced the clouds on a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" white cardstock. I overlapped the clouds. I also traced the raindrops, flipping the stencil to create a variety of shapes of the raindrops. Not that this matter since the traced raindrops will be covered by the stitching. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh60XqUhUNImjS3coV6KgK49k1sYysY38E5xeeFuPTm5wXmv4GKzWpzBZgdb7v477_FlSlFFlybvjGtPfEMjHmsTZ4ecIGqqGmLBoHBdT3kDCyxUIbm8oj-TGdTyvNo_NR_ipx21ROdE-Y_rC3fqKKSOtc_J33r6zZGmzTZ73sfDjoknwFFJck2wM83hiA/s1920/IMG_2991.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh60XqUhUNImjS3coV6KgK49k1sYysY38E5xeeFuPTm5wXmv4GKzWpzBZgdb7v477_FlSlFFlybvjGtPfEMjHmsTZ4ecIGqqGmLBoHBdT3kDCyxUIbm8oj-TGdTyvNo_NR_ipx21ROdE-Y_rC3fqKKSOtc_J33r6zZGmzTZ73sfDjoknwFFJck2wM83hiA/w400-h300/IMG_2991.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I added texture to this panel with a use of The Greetery Aida Cloth texture plate. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I poked holes on the traced clouds and raindrops.

It does not have to be even all throughout since the curves of the clouds varies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I did a chevron stitching on the inside of the clouds.

Welcome back to my blog. I have a lot of square negative die cuts from a plaid die. I was using that die a lot so I accumulated all of this square die cuts which I decided to keep for later use. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I trimmed a typing paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" to use as a back panel for the square die cuts. I grouped my square die cuts by color and pattern to give me an idea on how much squares I have for each color and pattern. I used an L-ruler to help with the alignment of the squares while I start building the pattern of squares from a corner. I made sure that the alike colors are not too close to each other. I used a liquid glue to adhere the squares to the typing paper. I left this panel aside while the glue dries with something heavy placed on top of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I treated this tiled panel with an anti-static tool. Using the Misti Stamping Tool, I stamped the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/floral-spray-sunflowers-chrysanthemum-line-art-rubber-stamps-pam-bray-designs-pbflor.html">Blank Page Muse Floral Spray Sunflowers Chrysanthemum Line Art rubber stamp</a> to the tiled panel using Wow! Embossing ink. Since this is a large stamp, I pressed the stamp to the paper with enough pressure so as to transfer the sticky ink to the tiled panel. The Misti Stamping Tool is very helpful with this step. I was able to re-stamp the image a couple of times until I was able to get the whole image stamped. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In between stamping, I poured glittery black embossing powder to the sticky ink. I heat set the powder making sure I move the heat gun while melting the powder to avoid flattening the already melted powder. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScOYRGS2xqW3x4mBARfTb9QxjHQ5KeCeu-Jye33GINtOksgNo1y3zNC2PVcxTHAzlLxe0S-NrCE-e1qzauVvtWdXQaXS9TtHZoBECPngCHo0Xqn1ca-oHfGxhYjz5PDERYe-qI-U5n0LnTJ-nA1y6y-jGmVcYKAA990-4k_NzEm-aBnxpuye1yKN6cDc/s1429/IMG_2957.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1071" data-original-width="1429" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScOYRGS2xqW3x4mBARfTb9QxjHQ5KeCeu-Jye33GINtOksgNo1y3zNC2PVcxTHAzlLxe0S-NrCE-e1qzauVvtWdXQaXS9TtHZoBECPngCHo0Xqn1ca-oHfGxhYjz5PDERYe-qI-U5n0LnTJ-nA1y6y-jGmVcYKAA990-4k_NzEm-aBnxpuye1yKN6cDc/w400-h300/IMG_2957.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I created a frame for the panel using a fringe scalloped rectangle die and a rectangle die.

Welcome back to my blog. Today's card is another stitched card. I would like to thank @shannon.christine.designs for sharing this pattern in her IG account. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I stitched the design on a light gray cardstock. I used the Waffle Flower Piercing Panel die to add holes for stitching. I used two strands of DMC floss for stitching.

I only noticed this after I am done with all of the stitching. I did not want to undo the white stitching because of the risk of ripping the paper. I did not want to pitch the stitched panel after all that hard work. To try and save it, I outlined the white stitching with a light pink DMC floss. It looks much better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEitgyPEod83Z88CgRmdVvUzlHBDsL5g2gyIRd70oVYE-dAtPCNRki0C-_EbPAlyh-tEjX4SIoAQ_raYMN68UtrSlwIrA307jLmkK0HIetjDTe5vs0OFUwoPqon99BAOTFDuWlyBMzi2q4nQRmNqwX-rgYpDA8WA4QIUtfrcxPcrOB4Bnt7yZBIOG8JJc/s1920/IMG_3034.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1560" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEitgyPEod83Z88CgRmdVvUzlHBDsL5g2gyIRd70oVYE-dAtPCNRki0C-_EbPAlyh-tEjX4SIoAQ_raYMN68UtrSlwIrA307jLmkK0HIetjDTe5vs0OFUwoPqon99BAOTFDuWlyBMzi2q4nQRmNqwX-rgYpDA8WA4QIUtfrcxPcrOB4Bnt7yZBIOG8JJc/w325-h400/IMG_3034.jpg" width="325" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To create this into a card, I trimmed a patterned paper to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I die cut a square window at the center. I added pierced details to this panel using The Greetery Aida Cloth texture plate. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I adhered a patterned washi tape to the stitched panel to frame it for a pop of color.

Some of the holes are very close to the edge of the paper that it ripped during stitching.

Welcome back to my blog. I am in constant search for cross stitching patterns that I can use on paper with my stitching dies. One of my resources is the DMC website. Most of their patterns are large scaled ones like the one I used on my card (<a href="https://www.dmc.com/US/en/products/red-heart">Heart</a>). To be able to stitch it on my card panel, I marked the center of the cross stitching pattern.

Welcome back to my blog. I am up on the <a href="https://blog.blankpagemuse.com/2024/01/lets-flamingo-shaker-card-february-8.html">Blank Page Muse blog</a> featuring the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/flamingo-row-red-rubber-art-stamps-by-pam-bray-designs-pb007/">Flamingo Row Red Rubber Art stamps</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This stamp set comes on a 5" x 7" solid sheet. I cut off images that I used on this card from the stamp sheet. The red rubber stamp is unmounted. There are several techniques to stamp this unmounted red rubber stamp. The mounting techniques I used for this card are:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Using an acrylic block by spraying temporary adhesive to the back of the red rubber stamp. I used this technique in stamping the rows of flamingos. Not my preferred choice since the temporary spray adhesive left some residue to my acrylic block which I was not able to fully remove even with the use of adhesive removers.</li><li>Using a sticky mat and a Misti stamping tool. The sticky mat holds the red rubber stamp. I temporarily adhered the paper to the door of the Misti with a tape adhesive. This is my preferred technique since the temporary adhesive is easier to remove from the Misti. Best of all, there is an opportunity to re-stamp the image if needed.</li></ul><div>I stamped the flamingos with a khaki colored dye ink. Coloring the row of flamingos can be overwhelming. To make the coloring easy and quick, I stamped the row of flamingos on a scrap cardstock. I fussy cut off some of the bodies of the flamingos to create a paper mask. I lined the opening to the flamingos, and blended the ink to this open space. </div><div><br /></div><div>I used color pencils for the beaks and legs. These are very small areas so coloring it wasn't not tedious at all. I used a black marker to add details to the eyes and the beaks.</div><div><br /></div><div>For the larger flamingo, I did the same ink blending technique for some consistency in the coloring. I fussy cut the flamingo leaving a small border around it. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5St5xgqrNPY9qSLlrJDgIwsj1nCstDVmfnW2MyFefyjgnLpbBLvK_O0zWYkBsko1szd2ZzVau3KwB8XO6Bpn3DCTxwC7Gzxm3BWSNuAAm0KnQmMR4Ka7-Ug1VfTdhgkf9wDdznZ6ActXyH5K26R0QAofg5XsLpoNiFDGT_DwQGja8ngcFnxrjxufmXo/s1920/IMG_2916.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1884" data-original-width="1920" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5St5xgqrNPY9qSLlrJDgIwsj1nCstDVmfnW2MyFefyjgnLpbBLvK_O0zWYkBsko1szd2ZzVau3KwB8XO6Bpn3DCTxwC7Gzxm3BWSNuAAm0KnQmMR4Ka7-Ug1VfTdhgkf9wDdznZ6ActXyH5K26R0QAofg5XsLpoNiFDGT_DwQGja8ngcFnxrjxufmXo/w400-h393/IMG_2916.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>I trimmed the flamingo panel to 5 1/4" x 4". I die cut a heart window on this panel. I also die cut a gold heart frame for the heart window. I positioned the flamingo on this heart window, adding adhesive to the areas that touch the panel. I adhered an acetate to the back of the panel. I added foam tape to the back of the panel. </div><div><br /></div><div>For the back panel, I trimmed a patterned paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I used a gel pen to add details to the wave print on the patterned paper. I poured several sequins to the area that will show through the heart window on the other panel.</div><div><br /></div><div>I powdered the side of the foam adhesive lining the heart window. After I removed all the foam tape release paper, I adhered this window panel to the patterned paper. </div><div><br /></div><div>The sentiment I used is from the same stamp set. I heat embossed this using a blue embossing powder. I die cut the sentiments into strips using a die. I adhered this to the panel. Sine the sentiment strip is partly adhered to the acetate, I added a shorter piece of the sentiment strip to the back to make the sentiment strip leveled with the front panel. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you like today's project.

It is hard to appreciate this in the photos but in real life, the added texture adds some wow to the card.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I laid the die cut letters on the red cardstock panel. To keep the placement of the die cut letters intact, I used a Glad Press 'N Seal to pick up the letters from the panel. Most of it will stick to the Press 'N Seal. For the letters that fell off or did not stick, I just repositioned it to the space that I assigned it. I used a T-ruler to make sure the letters are adhered on a straight line. After I filled up the whole panel with the die cut letters, I set this aside to dry. I trimmed off any excess hanging over the red cardstock panel. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For the main die cut sentiment, I stamped the heart from the Pretty Pink Posh Sparkle Dot Patterns 1 stamp set on a white cardstock. I poked holes on the dots created by the heart stamp. I added a chain stitch to the holes using a variegated DMC embroidery floss. I drew a line around the heart and cut the heart out using this line as a guide.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qWypCg8J9VvGolYhA2Tvgs0WKJ23aCxNHa0mkmBmOQGiIt_KRhW4PS03iXjKV0i7-hDLpFSA3ZFvyeKnoePLICfh0VGBY15lxZggApJkwhA-l0jcZO-h79noH5bXzuGRfKanCwlltufNL67Fy-6anQwq2Cwzciv2stlrgkvaIZdSwWZ8HBX2S9gB5Q0/s1675/IMG_2979.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1146" data-original-width="1675" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5qWypCg8J9VvGolYhA2Tvgs0WKJ23aCxNHa0mkmBmOQGiIt_KRhW4PS03iXjKV0i7-hDLpFSA3ZFvyeKnoePLICfh0VGBY15lxZggApJkwhA-l0jcZO-h79noH5bXzuGRfKanCwlltufNL67Fy-6anQwq2Cwzciv2stlrgkvaIZdSwWZ8HBX2S9gB5Q0/w400-h275/IMG_2979.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I die cut the letters using the Pretty Pink Posh Hugs coordinating die.

Welcome back to my blog. Today's card features an easy and simple watercoloring technique. It is so simple that you can use any watercolor medium you have in your stash.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I used the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/mr-g-whimsical-giraffe-with-wings-you-are-blooming-marvellous-sentiment-art-rubber-stamps-designed-by-magda-polakow.html">Blank Page Muse Mr. G & Words stamp set</a> on my card. I stamped the image on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink which is a watercolor friendly ink. I used the Misti Stamping Tool to restramp the image several times. Some brands of watercolor paper are textured that's why re-stamping the image is a must. I used the Ranger Watercolor Paper which has a smooth side and a textured side. I end up using the smooth side since I couldn't get a crisp stamped impression on the textured side no matter how many times I've restamped the image.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Make sure the ink has dried before watercoloring. I sped dry mine with a heat tool.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I colored my image with vibrant and bold colors. The watercolor I used is Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor. But as I've mentioned earlier, any watercolor brand or medium will work for this image. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih7ImgAbUjYAfODrfCALEwqLpYKp8fomyIUol1LDbVv-tJLA8bBVUhyphenhypheno4k22o8Sma7XcH-WcTRiPVR61vpfcbomUxRXz3fwc68Geegq5O5UzTdvJ5FTFNP1jVq7hZyDW1LHSc-kFS2BuPw42QBeG1Wd2SsYFwCzN_ctBQ4WFKNNb-tssyYzubV2zU0mD0/s1482/IMG_2864.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1482" data-original-width="1043" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih7ImgAbUjYAfODrfCALEwqLpYKp8fomyIUol1LDbVv-tJLA8bBVUhyphenhypheno4k22o8Sma7XcH-WcTRiPVR61vpfcbomUxRXz3fwc68Geegq5O5UzTdvJ5FTFNP1jVq7hZyDW1LHSc-kFS2BuPw42QBeG1Wd2SsYFwCzN_ctBQ4WFKNNb-tssyYzubV2zU0mD0/w283-h400/IMG_2864.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">I painted the background of the giraffe with a wash of watercolor. To create this effect, using a flat brush, apply clean water to the area which will be the background. Apply the color to a palette and mute the color down with water. Apply this pigment to the wet background. Tilting the panel also helps with letting the pigment run down by itself. If you want to add more pigment, just make sure to dry the area first before applying more color. Or if you placed too much pigment, add clean water to the area, then press a dry paper towel to this area to transfer the color to the paper towel.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzz63kQb350r6pb-wPTAp2tYDiX2CyCeCzzsoexgCvS9TiHGVcxPgVNVBtJ5sh3W4Fbpzc3NQl9xyWB_Qu5DWBIIFA2TiBo5h3WPZwZmuu-jw1uo7KBM_ADrYMVPTR_tTsXLX4i669NeJXA9UEx-5Dg6xbsqLjlcj3oaVZfpEljiMQWG3I24P5E9AxrHs/s1704/IMG_2863.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1704" data-original-width="1278" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzz63kQb350r6pb-wPTAp2tYDiX2CyCeCzzsoexgCvS9TiHGVcxPgVNVBtJ5sh3W4Fbpzc3NQl9xyWB_Qu5DWBIIFA2TiBo5h3WPZwZmuu-jw1uo7KBM_ADrYMVPTR_tTsXLX4i669NeJXA9UEx-5Dg6xbsqLjlcj3oaVZfpEljiMQWG3I24P5E9AxrHs/w300-h400/IMG_2863.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">I used the old school Stamp-a-ma-jig tool to stamp my sentiment. I want my sentiment to fit on the white space. The Stamp-a-ma-jig helped me with the partial stamping of the sentiments to achieve this look. I also stamped the sentiment using the same ink so I can apply watercolor to the words for a color block look. </p><p style="text-align: left;">At first, I thought I got a sentiment stamp with a factory defect because one of the words is misspelled. (Do you recognize it?) Only to find out that this is how it is spelled in British English. Nice to know, right?</p><p style="text-align: left;">This could have passed for a CAS card but I wanted to add a touch of color on the sides so I matted the panel with a light blue cardstock. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I hope you like today's project.

I used a circle die larger than the circular stitching around the scallop window to die cut this into a frame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The flower was created using a PFS square die. I trimmed the flower off the square frame. I die cut the flower on a light green PFS patterned paper, and on a pink, yellow and white cardstock. I cut the flower off the stem. I adhered the pink flower and the green stem/leaf on the white flower die cut. I adhered a double adhesive tape on the yellow cardstock before trimming the flower petals off. I poured yellow flock powder to the adhesive to add a bit of texture to the flower. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sentiment was heat embossed on white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment using an orange dye ink followed by a Versamark ink. I poured clear embossing powder to this, then heat set it. I die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die.

With just like any other tool, the more you use it, the more proficient you get in using it. This is the product of my second try on foiling on vellum. Not too bad, right? I foiled the PFS Delicate Rosebuds on vellum using an aqua glimmer foil. Isn't it pretty? A heavy weight vellum is necessary to be able to foil on it. I used a light weight vellum on my first try and the foil did not transfer well to the vellum. I am not sure if I should have added an extra shim for a better transfer. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCYBsfWCHetJmR4tTNPK-PQjRkt1UqVY8HV77es7VKXaDRv3YOf9Y0x3WwQ2s8mEBl_hMZVj1BChGR9Udj1x84TEL9_cFh7xd0zkICkY1thZSYtUP1XXagITs3scyUzfS5T9pcexc3k_3BxAKkaE7i2lRFzOQHGk2ZHLuVpRdU6Q3Xj9J5Vys7aIDqWcc/s1920/IMG_2935.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="971" data-original-width="1920" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCYBsfWCHetJmR4tTNPK-PQjRkt1UqVY8HV77es7VKXaDRv3YOf9Y0x3WwQ2s8mEBl_hMZVj1BChGR9Udj1x84TEL9_cFh7xd0zkICkY1thZSYtUP1XXagITs3scyUzfS5T9pcexc3k_3BxAKkaE7i2lRFzOQHGk2ZHLuVpRdU6Q3Xj9J5Vys7aIDqWcc/w400-h203/IMG_2935.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sentiment strips are from the PFS Delightful collection 6x6 paper pad.

I added an orange heart die cut to accent the hole of the tag. I added a white embroidery floss through the hole and tied this into a bow.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used the B side of a PFS patterned paper for the back panel. I flick a yellow ink to this paper before adhering the elements of my layout. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The layer above the tag is a stamped panel which I created with stamping the PFS Delicate Rosebuds using a light pink dye ink.

Welcome back to my blog. Today's card show ways on how you can extend the use of your stencil. Let's stretch that supply!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><u><b><i>Foiling with stencil.</i></b></u> On a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 80-lb. white cardstock, I secured the stencil over this panel with the use of tape. I applied Deco Foil Transfer Gel on the stencil, making sure I applied an even coat over the open areas. I set this aside overnight to dry. Once dry, I covered the area with a teal Deco Foil Transfer Sheet. I ran this through the Minc Machine. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><u><i>Heat embossing with stencil.</i></u></b> I pre-treated the panel with an anti-static powder tool. I repositioned the stencil over the foiled panel. The stencil shapes may overlap the foiled shape but not directly on top of each other. I pounced Versamark ink on the open areas of the stencil. I poured gold embossing powder over the panel, heat set it until the powder has melted. Make sure you move the heat gun constantly since the heat can damage the already foiled images.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><u><b>Coloring with stencil.</b></u></i> I repositioned the stencil over the panel. You can also flip the stencil. I traced the open areas of the stencil with a metallic pen. I colored these shapes with metallic and glitter markers. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><u><i><b>Doodling with stencil.</b></i></u> I repositioned the stencil over the panel. I traced the open areas of the stencil with a metallic pen. This time, instead of coloring the shapes, I doodled diagonal lines inside the shapes. Feel free to doodle something else like curved lines, dots, etc. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNa7FRFc4o5jc9ZuhSTtTUoX-XbYxbMmDY77iwyz0UsQuBAVq-R-fKTYb3MVfoiaOdcbhPayt6G-cdUp3Iqo1gJNuvfhGMRvswcNO7NNrMGrAD_5KcfxvfGHWEkLD9XJbcV-fFUFHne7Lsv5YWY8qE8GXvkHiXN6i4bFHuQk7IiFCxxDzVxb1KAZ2SwgU/s1451/IMG_2812.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1451" data-original-width="1088" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNa7FRFc4o5jc9ZuhSTtTUoX-XbYxbMmDY77iwyz0UsQuBAVq-R-fKTYb3MVfoiaOdcbhPayt6G-cdUp3Iqo1gJNuvfhGMRvswcNO7NNrMGrAD_5KcfxvfGHWEkLD9XJbcV-fFUFHne7Lsv5YWY8qE8GXvkHiXN6i4bFHuQk7IiFCxxDzVxb1KAZ2SwgU/w300-h400/IMG_2812.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Embossed Impressions with Stencil.</i></b> I did this technique on vellum, adding a rubber mat shim to my platform sandwich.

I have learned this technique from crafting guru, <a href="https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2023/09/fast-coloring-hack.html">Jennifer McGuire</a>. It is such a fun way to add soft colors to an image. The downside of this technique is the fussy cutting but if you used a high quality cardstock, you can use this DIY stencil again. I kept mine inside the sleeve together with the stamp set. If you are not into this, you can always color in the image with whatever medium you want. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I created my stenciled panel on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock but only used a portion of it for my card. After all that work put into this panel, I did not want to throw the left over or set it aside for future use. So I created a bonus card using the same craft items.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXs14G_xHVnH2GtJVkk7qHf0AtMKnd5BPVHVCZuL5iLDrkjulMh5iPU7RwmQzXNIn-DNamZdPAGQ1I7_CU2YnhRQ1aHuiPbg2i7HAPUHZyQ0DoPIt2GiPqJoZvN_SPwjYWbOAmUozaD4MMEJhZ0FR3V7O_QwER_JhQYKk4ykHUVKb-AcREyTwIawLwtg/s1554/IMG_2818.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1554" data-original-width="1554" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXs14G_xHVnH2GtJVkk7qHf0AtMKnd5BPVHVCZuL5iLDrkjulMh5iPU7RwmQzXNIn-DNamZdPAGQ1I7_CU2YnhRQ1aHuiPbg2i7HAPUHZyQ0DoPIt2GiPqJoZvN_SPwjYWbOAmUozaD4MMEJhZ0FR3V7O_QwER_JhQYKk4ykHUVKb-AcREyTwIawLwtg/w400-h400/IMG_2818.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I trimmed the stenciled panel into smaller pieces to create a tiled frame.

Welcome back to my first blog post for the year. Incy Wincy is back after a much needed break. For our first challenge of the year, the theme is <a href="https://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/2024/01/we-are-back-new-lets-celebrate-january.html">New &/or Let's Celebrate</a>. Like before, you can apply one or both themes to your project. Just a reminder, the challenge is not limited to cards only. You can create anything as long as it follows the theme/s. The new thing for this year is we don't have sponsors for our challenges. There will still be challenge winners with badges. I hope you still join our challenge despite this change.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">On to my card, I am using both themes as we celebrate the new year.

You don't only get inspired but you also have a chance to win a prize. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7bUzJknRc9eOt_SFtEwsp9ladCxnrWkH7O7H0lNN0nzIR_FuyHf_AmE4PAogRhG4CYVkDkr9ciMvhUwMpjo1V25N3AHRTFZUuLpxdkfJH7srp3-LBOh8UQ37XFrtD2gk43qPFGUuqSvAb1aZPJX4AJXGYmA7dsf5e7nfp0FVJuqLu5UOooXdlmJwAVQ/s1200/Altenew%20IG%20Hop.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7bUzJknRc9eOt_SFtEwsp9ladCxnrWkH7O7H0lNN0nzIR_FuyHf_AmE4PAogRhG4CYVkDkr9ciMvhUwMpjo1V25N3AHRTFZUuLpxdkfJH7srp3-LBOh8UQ37XFrtD2gk43qPFGUuqSvAb1aZPJX4AJXGYmA7dsf5e7nfp0FVJuqLu5UOooXdlmJwAVQ/w400-h400/Altenew%20IG%20Hop.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Above are the cards that I chose as my top most Altenew creations, three of which were created as part of my journey in AECP 2.

There will be no additional cost to you should you decide to purchase this/these item/s. It is just a way to help a fellow crafter sustain her love for crafting. Unfortunately, the stencil I used on the fourth photo has been retired. Altenew has other stencils that you can use for dry embossing. They also have pattern building stencils that you can try creating new patterns. Don't forget to check out their new release for this month and their sale. Thank you for your support. </span></div><br />Maria Giselle B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02650313357463794148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955757694653478225.post-84265778858742322872023-12-24T03:28:00.005-06:002023-12-29T12:24:07.156-06:00A Merry Pink Christmas<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj08ueZuMwwkNcG-yMPGMiGN0AQexsDQwjZRz0BAKSqgeptaOfYEX9-0gvKKHiznO1lNsXg_V6_19y1kgW_98ipep7Ttx8H18RBebfUZyggb93Hrq3U5k3Pi0d987b4jeaIlbH_VkNboF6CUniJ1BjMX0CX83g21YYQ_1RL_2rIVb5PdDWihxcwVAvw5fk/s1914/IMG_2752%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1685" data-original-width="1914" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj08ueZuMwwkNcG-yMPGMiGN0AQexsDQwjZRz0BAKSqgeptaOfYEX9-0gvKKHiznO1lNsXg_V6_19y1kgW_98ipep7Ttx8H18RBebfUZyggb93Hrq3U5k3Pi0d987b4jeaIlbH_VkNboF6CUniJ1BjMX0CX83g21YYQ_1RL_2rIVb5PdDWihxcwVAvw5fk/w400-h353/IMG_2752%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created a pink Christmas card for today's post which is a non-traditional Christmas color. </p><p style="text-align: left;">The stamps I am using for this card is from the Blank Page Muse Beyond the Border Christmas stamp set. </p><p style="text-align: left;">On a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" pink cardstock panel, I repeatedly stamped the snowflake border stamp but before doing this, I treated the panel with anti-static powder tool. The embossing powder I used is the Ranger <span style="background-color: white;">Seafoam White</span> embossing powder. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I cut a triangle on different hues of green cardstock. I stamped the vine border stamp on these trees using the Wow! Embossing pad. I pounced a green Ranger Pearl powder to the sticky ink.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I wrapped an embossing floss around the tree.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I die cut the letters on a silver matte paper. I die cut additional letters to create dimension on each letter. I adhered this on the tree.</p><p style="text-align: left;">For the tree trunks, I used a die which is originally intended to die cut a coordinating pencil stamp. I die cut the trunks on a wooden print patterned paper. I adhered this to the back of the triangles.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGa5n3IifFY6uWaMALeCAuY5frxXEcbmoNBnAKAQByiLG8FIQUV0i2r3L9QLb63BV8oIEF5KDeMJVEBGUO4xKf0NIta_a1t9jOmFxBMzZcaIQfNRI7JG3347ZHmsr0TzduQUylati4SPHNf1XmElY04vJFwUXEdYUhCmnlOEdGt5iuHxIAvhSO2G80P8/s1920/IMG_2753.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGa5n3IifFY6uWaMALeCAuY5frxXEcbmoNBnAKAQByiLG8FIQUV0i2r3L9QLb63BV8oIEF5KDeMJVEBGUO4xKf0NIta_a1t9jOmFxBMzZcaIQfNRI7JG3347ZHmsr0TzduQUylati4SPHNf1XmElY04vJFwUXEdYUhCmnlOEdGt5iuHxIAvhSO2G80P8/w400-h300/IMG_2753.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I die cut the snow slope using the Lawn Fawn <span style="background-color: white;">Stitched Hillside border </span>die on a pink cardstock.

Welcome back to my blog. If you've been following me, you know that I love to stitch. Today's card is an example of my love for stitching. For this card, I am using The Greetery Aida Cloth Texture Plate. The moment I saw this product released, I fell in love with it right away. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Most of the projects I saw using this texture plate is either using it for a background or stamping on it. The plate creates these these tiny holes. There are 7 boxes or spaces in between the holes per inch on the textured plate. It is recommended to use 6 strands of floss with this count but I only used 4 strands which came out okay. The stitching pattern I used is from <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/pages/embroidery-hoop-patterns">Lawn Fawn</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I stamped the mug on white cardstock. I colored the mug with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image leaving a small border around it. I incorporated the mug to the design by adding stitching to the handle to make it look like the snowman is holding the cup. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDw1tY9Kcdg6KqX7rXMdAwOh9r9DNwhyphenhyphenQX91mMJZfn9bR3DJeO-V3AQxO-kuX-JcjBi_QKaTNeMiEwcGOEkDRZMFGiA0WiPhZrbs8qWreWP5EtpD85HCmmPOhY59c6xnZKV6zY2HmDgb0vNgX04g-ElTlaxkdEuXuIhUcOSaMm6Ua2I-R1XYYIcY6MRkM/s1416/IMG_2872.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1416" data-original-width="1416" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDw1tY9Kcdg6KqX7rXMdAwOh9r9DNwhyphenhyphenQX91mMJZfn9bR3DJeO-V3AQxO-kuX-JcjBi_QKaTNeMiEwcGOEkDRZMFGiA0WiPhZrbs8qWreWP5EtpD85HCmmPOhY59c6xnZKV6zY2HmDgb0vNgX04g-ElTlaxkdEuXuIhUcOSaMm6Ua2I-R1XYYIcY6MRkM/w400-h400/IMG_2872.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div>I die cut a snowflake frame for the stitched snowman. The snowflake die is from Hero Arts. I used a My Favorite Things circle die to cut the window. I added details to the snowflake frame using a Simon Says Stamp 3D embossing folder. I lightly swiped a gray pigment ink to the embossed details of the snowflake frame. I die cut another snowflake frame to add a layer to the embossed snowflake frame.</div><div><br /></div><div>I trimmed a bit off the edges of the stitched panel. I matted the panel with the same blue cardstock I used for the snowflake frame. </div><div><br /></div><div>I embossed the sentiment using a stamp and coordinating die from Lawn Fawn. The silver embossing powder I used is from Simon Says Stamp. I die cut additional labels and layered this underneath the embossed sentiment.</div><div><br /></div><div>I stamped several snowflakes on the Aida background for additional details using a gray pigment ink. </div><div><br /></div><div>I added clear gems to the tips of the snowflakes. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you like today's card.

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I got my inspiration for today's project from the blog challenges linked at the end of this post. I also want to try out <a href="https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2023/12/new-easy-pop-up-display-cards-free-gift-giveaway.html">Jennifer McGuire's technique on creating Easy Pop-up Display Cards.</a> Head on to the link for a video tutorial on how to make it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My card front for this pop-up card measures 4" x 4" which is the measurement of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Square that I used for this card. The whole length of an 8 1/2" cardstock is not enough to create the folds on the back of the pop-up card. So I had to make modifications to Jennifer's card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I cut a Lawn Fawn Speckled Eggshell cardstock at 4" x 8". I scored this at 2" and 6". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the back portion, I cut 2 pieces of 4" x 4 3/4" of the same cardstock. I scored this at 2". I trimmed a sliver off the short edge to fit into the fold of the first panel. This short edge will be the tab that will be adhered to the first folded panel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the front, I trimmed strips of different colored cardstocks following the colors of the Color Throwdown challenge which I linked below. I trimmed a typing paper at 4" x 4". I applied adhesive to this paper using a dot runner glue. You can also use a double adhesive tape if you prefer. I adhered the strips to this paper, making sure the strips are butted close to each other. I added stitching to the strips using the LF Stitched Borders die.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I die cut the LF Giant Happy Birthday die to this stripped panel. I also die cut the sentiment on black cardstock to create a shadow for the colored stripped sentiment die cut.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the front panel of the pop-up card, I die cut the LF Stitched Square to a LF Speckled Eggshell cardstock as I mentioned earlier. I heat embossed the small ice cream stamp from the LF Party Animal stamp set to this panel to create a background. I used a gold embossing powder so it will tie in with one of the colors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YM1iLk7E7OwC9KmvcGXsELg05fN4_P4b_JhkJpBUaJtRa1Z-Ik19QeLKaXLNC-Di0Uu-uwi5K_LXlFLXueJnVxnfKy_kbVsIe1g_qDzPqO9wtsUmINwh_7h1RTWWgwPevLzhnDuOwMEjCVVT7fiCDLeaqlr5YBg7bo__BR_JShlABIHqlwguUgGupe4/s2288/IMG_2851.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2288" data-original-width="2177" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YM1iLk7E7OwC9KmvcGXsELg05fN4_P4b_JhkJpBUaJtRa1Z-Ik19QeLKaXLNC-Di0Uu-uwi5K_LXlFLXueJnVxnfKy_kbVsIe1g_qDzPqO9wtsUmINwh_7h1RTWWgwPevLzhnDuOwMEjCVVT7fiCDLeaqlr5YBg7bo__BR_JShlABIHqlwguUgGupe4/w381-h400/IMG_2851.jpg" width="381" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the back folds of the pop-up card, I am using the ice cream stamp from the LF Here's the Scoop stamp set.

I burnished the glitter to the adhesive using my finger. I stamped the outline ice cream scoop to these glittered cardstocks. I fussy cut it trimming it next to the outline.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWtEC_QsPBlfDSlaG-EMeUpmk08WZxn1L8PbXBQJ3dkWiQipVVB7LXquUGViFXR5vj_TwF8NFUfWYtNq8RDSLkmto8BKAfk4J6ZobL0Q5rBzAH-1LY9cUcliXzDI5Y9eNN85aWaT5ctiHeE0iIsKyqWaIjiAn4Oxizc_eMPx-6MI1uVpX65xg4ruEVy4/s2817/IMG_2852.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2817" data-original-width="2708" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWtEC_QsPBlfDSlaG-EMeUpmk08WZxn1L8PbXBQJ3dkWiQipVVB7LXquUGViFXR5vj_TwF8NFUfWYtNq8RDSLkmto8BKAfk4J6ZobL0Q5rBzAH-1LY9cUcliXzDI5Y9eNN85aWaT5ctiHeE0iIsKyqWaIjiAn4Oxizc_eMPx-6MI1uVpX65xg4ruEVy4/w385-h400/IMG_2852.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I stamped the cone on the back fold using a Concord & 9th Stardust dye ink.

Welcome back to my blog. The stamp I used on this card is the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/beyond-the-border-christmas-set-1-clear-stamps-designed-by-pam-bray-pbcbbx1.html">Blank Page Muse Beyond the Border Christmas set</a>. The trees stamp is vertically oriented. To give this stamp a new look, I stamped the trees on different colored cardstocks. I used a slightly darker colored ink for each colored cardstock to make the trees pop-out. To make the trees pop out some more, I embossed the trees with Ranger Holographic embossing powder. I used a Misti Stamping Tool for precise stamping with the dye inks and the sticky ink. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I trimmed the tree border close to the edge of the image. I trimmed each tree separately to create five trees. All I had to now is to create a background using these cut up trees. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I adhered the cut up trees to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" typing paper. I die cut this paper into a 4" x 5 1/4" panel. I adhered this to a pink cardstock die cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". I used a stitched rectangle die to die cut this pink panel.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlPeQDdAMY0P911gNXkuNFT6ySAs1AaWmFBw2Amsf8shLAlsZYMJSu-XGMVrC-IqoYdlP4JeYUBVFfebiFGIbY8bsZpf2Q_NLcSgKv8438F7IZ9WrheD-LpuAqP3yMknOO4kPXCuLSRd9H31sYws930_dGshsO7dqQcUt2EC6ygBFGkyGoj59T4ubiEA/s1835/IMG_2836.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1835" data-original-width="1545" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlPeQDdAMY0P911gNXkuNFT6ySAs1AaWmFBw2Amsf8shLAlsZYMJSu-XGMVrC-IqoYdlP4JeYUBVFfebiFGIbY8bsZpf2Q_NLcSgKv8438F7IZ9WrheD-LpuAqP3yMknOO4kPXCuLSRd9H31sYws930_dGshsO7dqQcUt2EC6ygBFGkyGoj59T4ubiEA/w336-h400/IMG_2836.jpg" width="336" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For the sentiment, I wanted a small, simple sentiment so that focus will not be taken away from the tiled background. I stamped the sentiment on a pink cardstock, the same cardstock I used for the tree and the matte. I used the same pink dye ink I used for the tree to stamp the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with sticky ink and poured the same hollographic embossing powder over it, then heat set it. I trimmed this into a sentiment strip. I adhered another sentiment strip to its back for a bit of dimension. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnLfieZgm8fg7U-dySYYUrralQZfWEXA90Roz0ybf9Jy4s1Ac0Pndb6RrLXS6XAwUyqr8ZfNAqkT7Wg4EIi9R7wqq9OHoX2HiqRrZn0TKNEUCQfKdh8MlRmi4UH6LgrfBGpDmgHJtu-SNH0Nx8RehN-O8jraJOZDckgDs5z6KOoVAKTSI4Q1srQHcDZU/s1879/IMG_2837.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1879" data-original-width="1409" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnLfieZgm8fg7U-dySYYUrralQZfWEXA90Roz0ybf9Jy4s1Ac0Pndb6RrLXS6XAwUyqr8ZfNAqkT7Wg4EIi9R7wqq9OHoX2HiqRrZn0TKNEUCQfKdh8MlRmi4UH6LgrfBGpDmgHJtu-SNH0Nx8RehN-O8jraJOZDckgDs5z6KOoVAKTSI4Q1srQHcDZU/w300-h400/IMG_2837.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I hope you like today's card.

Welcome back to my blog. I can't believe that we are down to the last month of the year. One of my Christmas traditions is to send out my handmade Christmas cards to family and friends. I used to create a bunch of the same cards. Now, I mail the Christmas cards that I created during the year.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I am using a stamp from the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/beyond-the-border-christmas-set-1-clear-stamps-designed-by-pam-bray-pbcbbx1.html">Blank Page Muse Beyond the Border Christmas set</a>. The Christmas tree stamp I used on this card is very unique. Most tree stamps have the tree next to each other, side by side. This stamp has the trees next to each other but with a vertical orientation.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I prepped a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" green cardstock with an anti-static powder tool. I repeatedly stamped the Christmas tree border stamp on this panel using a Wow! Embossing pad. I poured Wow! Jealous Guy <span style="background-color: white;">embossing powder to this panel, then melt the powder with a heat tool. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">I spritz some pearlized water over this panel for some shimmer. I dried this panel with the heat tool making sure that I move the heat gun constantly so as not to activate the already melted embossing powder.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">I embellished the tree with red dots using </span><span style="background-color: white;">Nuvo Autumn Red Crystal Drops. I used the head of a flat head pin in applying the red glue drops to the tree. I squirted the red glue on a scrap paper and picked the glue using the head of the pin. I lightly touched the glue to the embossed tree. I set this aside to dry.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">To add more bling to this panel, I adhered tiny hollographic star die cuts on top of each tree. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">The sentiment was die cut on red cardstock. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">My stamping was more towards the right side of the panel. To balance this out, I trimmed a sliver off the left side. I adhered this panel to a top folding A2 note card. I trimmed a thin strip of red cardstock, and adhered this to the left side of the panel.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">I hope you like today's card.

Welcome back to my blog. I got my inspiration for this card from the challenges listed at the end of the post. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I created a full panel mask by trimming it at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I die cut a heart on the center using a heart die from the Hero Arts Nesting Hearts die. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I trimmed an 80 lb. white cardstock at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I adhered the mask with the heart window to this panel. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I inked the stamp concentrating the inking more on the area where the heart is on the panel. To get the best impression using this large wooden stamp block, I lay it on a flat surface, ink it and put the paper on the stamp. You can run your fingers on the paper to transfer the ink but I used a brayer instead.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I pieced in the heart paper mask before removing the full panel window mask. I used two different inks for the rest of the panel. I stamped one color at a time. I got lucky that there was no distortion on the seam where the two colors met. I think cutting the panel the same size as the stamp made the repositioning of the paper over the wooden stamp easy since all I needed to do was align the paper to the stamp.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I trimmed this panel to 4" x 5 1/4".</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSu_Aym-YWjOWNNjBudX7JMFFi9CACL4s5vIyQa8SoPl-yaqZ5XgcGHcdbcnjeyJ-3V_GwGxz5Wb8JozMutV6JGxIfnpd3EheotUTJpeEl80h8sEE6UqM-BH6QpkkqEav4JuG15HzrNpyFCoUH98KuTj0RonsVM2hWJAuZjlxZ3ZgMqzHTWuVEDUZkTI/s1920/IMG_2790.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSu_Aym-YWjOWNNjBudX7JMFFi9CACL4s5vIyQa8SoPl-yaqZ5XgcGHcdbcnjeyJ-3V_GwGxz5Wb8JozMutV6JGxIfnpd3EheotUTJpeEl80h8sEE6UqM-BH6QpkkqEav4JuG15HzrNpyFCoUH98KuTj0RonsVM2hWJAuZjlxZ3ZgMqzHTWuVEDUZkTI/w300-h400/IMG_2790.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Using the same inks, I blended the ink to tone down the white paper. I also blended the two inks where it met for a seamless look. I embossed this panel using an embossing folder with the same triangle pattern to add some texture.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Using the same heart die I used for the mask and the next largest size heart die, I created a heart frame on peach cardstock. I die cut two pieces of heart frame. I also die cut a heart on vellum using the smaller heart die. I sandwiched the vellum in between the two heart frames.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I stamped the butterfly on white cardstock using the same inks I used for the panel. The butterfly stamp is from a past Hero Arts This Monthly Hero Kit. Using the coordinating die, I die cut these butterflies. I scored the butterfly on the center. Using this score line as a guide, I poked holes on the center of the butterfly die cuts. I hand stitched the butterflies together using a clear thread. I outlined the butterfly's antennae with a shimmer pen.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For the sentiment, I stamped this on the same peach cardstock I used for the heart frame. I stamped this using Versafine Onyx Black ink. This sentiment stamp is from the same HA This Monthly Hero Kit. I used a craft knife to cut this into a label. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEG1snX7zu_mk8mEVszPivPVY-ucbCemI74k-YHJVUQD0yoXG478jtKi4bcj2hQdRT1O8khq9e7XbLwV4tdgN0nSdx2z49rMBiH0FARns-QhEVU8KP85ujbx_qtMoM3mqsIUU3h5bQzCKN_cdnxRiIvzjC7ijomfqMR64kVwFAePlJYVm3VOIMVgAg5u8/s1920/IMG_2794.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1795" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEG1snX7zu_mk8mEVszPivPVY-ucbCemI74k-YHJVUQD0yoXG478jtKi4bcj2hQdRT1O8khq9e7XbLwV4tdgN0nSdx2z49rMBiH0FARns-QhEVU8KP85ujbx_qtMoM3mqsIUU3h5bQzCKN_cdnxRiIvzjC7ijomfqMR64kVwFAePlJYVm3VOIMVgAg5u8/w375-h400/IMG_2794.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I adhered the heart frame to the panel, aligning it to the inked heart on the panel.
