Plaid Background Birthday Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. The inspiration for this card is my youngest son who celebrated his birthday last week. It is on My To Do List but never got to creating it but the idea is there. Belated Happy 10th Birthday, Ryan!

I got the idea of the background from Channin, who used the same background stamp from Honey Bee.

I stamped the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored it with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The stamp is from the Your Next Stamp Silly Fun Birthday stamp set. I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it.

I added details to the image as you can see on the photo above.

I created a sentiment strip using one of the sentiments on the stamp set.

I die cut a yellow glittered star. I die cut several more stars and adhered this to the back of the glittered star. 

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Create A Border Using a Digital Stamp

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The challenge theme is Borders And/Or Bright Colours. A big thanks to Sheepski Designs for sponsoring our challenge. 

I edited the image using Microsoft Word so I can overlap the flowers to create a rectangular border. It took me a couple of printing trials on scrap paper to come up with this final design. 

I printed the image on Canson watercolor paper. I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Brush markers. 

I fussy cut the inner border to create a window. I also fussy cut the outer border. 

I adhered a gray cardstock behind which got its embossed impression using the Waffle Flower A2 Piercing Panel die.

For the hello sentiment, I am using a Cricut holographic vinyl adhered to a scrap cardstock. The die I used is Pretty Pink Posh Hello Friend Script die. I wanted to add a sentiment strip with the same color as the flowers. To create this, I heat embossed the sentiment first on the excess watercolor paper using a white embossing powder. I colored over this using the same pink Zig Clean Color Brush marker I used for the flowers. I set this aside to dry. I wiped the ink off the embossed sentiment using a baby wipe. I die cut this into a strip using an Avery Elle Simple Sentiments Elle-ments die. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp Silly Fun Birthday stamp set. 

I die cut an extra script sentiment and a sentiment strip and adhered this to the back of each die cut for a raised look. 

I adhered this to a top folding horizontal note card.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations in the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Male Teacher Card

I created a masculine teacher card for my seventh grader's homeroom teacher who is their Science teacher as well. I am using the Perfect Chemistry stamp set by Your Next Stamp. I also created this card to join their blog's current challenge.

I stamped the professor image using Memento Tuxedo black ink on Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the image using Copic markers, and using Prismacolor pencils for detailing. I used a black Sakura Glaze pen for the boots. I used a white Sakura Gelly roll to add details on the tie. I applied Ranger Glossy Accents to the eyeglasses. I fuzzy cut the image leaving a small white border around hte image.

The chalkboard is a paper from Echo Park. I stamped the sentiment from the Perfect Chemistry stamp set on this using Versamark ink, embossed with white powder. I re-stamped the sentiment using Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink slightly offsetting it. Using a cloth, I rubbed some white pigment ink on the chalkboard. I set this aside to dry.

For the chalkboard border, I blended Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo on Strathmore Bristol paper. I spritz water onto this and heat set it, repeating this process a couple of times until I achieve the look I am going for. I prepared this blended panel with anti-static powder. I stamped Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Backdrop using Versafine Onyx black ink. I embossed this using clear powder. I cut this into strips and adhered it to the edges of the green chalkboard paper.

I embossed a yellow cardstock with Cuttlebug Typeset embossing folder. I blended Tim Holtz Distress Ink Wild Honey on this to make the embossed letters pop out.

For the banner, I selectively stamped the element stamp on red cardstock using Versamark ink. I heat embossed this using clear powder. I cut this and used a square punch to add fishtails to the bottom.

To assemble the card, I die cut a 6x6 patterned paper from the Jillybean Soup Country Chowder paper pad using a stitched rectangle die from Mama Elephant Peek-A-Frame Creative Cuts. I ink the edges of the paper using Tim Holts Distress Tea Dye ink. I adhered this to a top folding A2 note card. I adhered the yellow embossed cardstock to the left. I adhered the chalkboard to the right using foam adhesive. I adhered the professor next using foam adhesive as well, doubling it on some areas. I adhered the banner on the top with a We R Memory Keepers twine.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed and brilliant day.
