Card Made Less Than 30 Minutes ~ A Blank Page Muse Post

Hello! I am at the Blank Page Muse blog with this card. I created a one layer, CAS card which is very unusual for me since I usually add layers to my card. 

I used the ink smooshing with an acetate technique on this card. 

The stamps I used on this card are from Blank Page Muse Country Vintage Christmas Rubber Art Stamps Sheet. 

Please visit the BPM blog for card details. You might be amazed to find out that this card is very easy to replicate and mass produce. 

Thank you! Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Sketch Inspired Birthday Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. This is my first post as a card design team member of Stick It Down Scrapbook and Card Making Challenge in FB. There are three sketches to choose from so lots of oppotunities to join. 

I love it that I was able to use my edge punchers for this card sketch. Despite the emergence of cutting dies, I am still holding on to my punchers especially the Martha Stewart ones which is the edge punch I used on this card. I punched several green cardstocks from my stash. 

 

I also punched an orange cardstock to which I adhered four of the doily edgers. The contrast of the orange shows through the holes of the doilies.

The card panel is split into yellow and orange cardstocks. The top half is orange which I added details with a quilted stitched pattern die and green ink splatters. 

For the bottom half, the yellow panel, I adhered the layered doily to this. I also adhered the sentiment to this panel, above the doily layers. I created the sentiment by die cutting the word birthday from the Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday wafer dies, and the word Happy from an Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips 3D dies. I die cut three pieces of each and stacked them for dimension.

I zhuzhed the doilies to add more depth to the card panel. 

I hope you like today's card. Please join this month's sketch challenge, if you can. We would love to see your take on this month's sketches.

Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Paper Stitching

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I have another stitched project today. Thanks to Stitchable Cards FB for the free stitching pattern. This is just one of my paper stitching projects. Please search paper stitching in the search tab to see my other stitched projects if you are interested. 

My stitched project is a smaller scale of the pattern since I used a different stitching panel. The stitching die I used is from Ellen Hutson. A lot of strain to the eyes in making this one but I think it is worth it. 

I don't have all of the recommended DMC floss colors for the pattern. I substituted the missing colors using thread-bare.com. I was not a fan of the orange substitute but after adding the backstitch, I think it looks alright.

I usually use The Stamp Market Embroidery Hoops die for my stitched projects but I cut the stitched panel smaller than the embroidery hoop die. So I created an embroidery hoop by creating a circle frame using two circle nesting dies. I partially die cut The Stamp Market embroidery hoop to cut the portion where the screw fits in. I die cut two pieces of this. I adhered one piece to the back of the circle frame and saved the other piece for the back portion of the embroidery hoop.

I die cut the stitched panel and another cardstock using the larger circle die I used to cut the frame. I adhered the circle die cut to the back of the stitched panel.

I die cut the screw on a mirror cardstock. I die cut two pieces and adhered this together with the mirror side facing out. Layering adds depth and stability to this tiny screw die cut. 

I adhered the embroidery hoop frame to the stitched panel making sure that the screwing portions are aligned with each other.

Now, I have an especially made ephemera that I can add to any layout. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like today's stitched project. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
