Fall Pumpkin pop up card

What a cool card cut this is for Fall or Halloween from Cheryl over at Creative Kuts
What's more is it is just the card base cut and the 3-D pumpkins and a background layer in this  file everything else you decide what you want to add.   This will definitely be a go to card file in my stash for fall and Halloween.   As a matter of fact I think I will be making a Halloween version of this card later today.
In the far background I used a falling leaves die-cut from spellbinders that I had inked up with my distress inks as watercolors.   I also created the brown frame to go around that and I did a border strip in the same color with a Victorian edge cut at top and bottom.  The single leaves are from crafters companion also inked up with Distress inks.   The adorable bear with the pumpkins stamp are from Desert Craftin Divas that I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers  and cut out with my ScanNCut2. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set which I stamped in brown pigment ink onto a spellbinders labels 20 die-cut that I had inked up with old photo distress ink and walnut stain around the edges.  For the pumpkins that I inked the edges of each piece in walnut stain distress ink first, then I layered them up with no glue and ran them through my D'Vine  Swirls Cuttlebug folder layered exactly how I wanted them to be at the end.  I then added foam tape between the layers of each pumpkin lining up the swirl marks as I placed them.

Ice Skate Cut-away Card

Another Christmas Card to share with you all but today it is a Beautiful Cut-Away Card.  I am in love with this Hot Off the Press die set to cut away a flap for the card.  It is actually called Card Flaps and Borders Cutting Dies.  I have a Stamp set that coordinates with it but it is not Christmas and I opted to not use it on this one.  This is only 1 of 4 in the set...Wowzers I can't wait to make some more cards with the other cuts!!!
So the inspiration for this entire card was the Pretty Ice Skate stamp which is also from HOTP.  After finding the Christmas papers I wanted to use I dug out some old lavender and blue paper scraps for the die cuts.   I stamped the skate in versamark Ink and used Dutch blue embossing powder and set it with my heating tool.  I love how that turned out!   I then took it to my scanNCut 2 not knowing if it would recognize the embossed image but much to my surprise it did so I set it to give a .08 outline and cut.  I then diecut some snowflakes in the coordinating papers although I couldn't find the right color blue for the top snowflakes, so I decided to completely cover those in the matching in Embossing powder and heat set them.  I added a foam dot in between the layers of snowflakes and then added an enamel glitter dot to each.  I diecut a fancy oval and then ran it through my Swiss dots embossing folder.   I added the diecut ice skate on foam tape in the center of the oval and then added a light lavender gem in the center of the snowflake on the boot. I added some similar lavender gems along the fancy cut off edge plus one large white glitter dot in the center.
For the inside I covered with the blue paper, I then added the cute pattern paper which I had first cut with a Victorian edge with my paper cutter.  I used 2 oval dies from that same die set.  The sentiment is my favorite for the inside of my Christmas cards.  the snowflake stamp is from the same Ice Skate Small stamp set on the front.

Cardinal Christmas dryer sheet card

 I have only ever made a dryer sheet card once and I enjoyed the outcome so I thought I would make a few this year  for my Christmas card list.  

I started with an A2 size piece of white card stock knowing that I would be cutting it down later for my front card layer.   I used a few different stamp sets to create this one a little bit of coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers, some inking around the edges with walnut stain distress ink, the dryer sheet and lots of sparkle.  It is so hard to capture all of that beautiful glitter in a picture .... I sure wish you could see it in person, it's really something!

Harley Birthday Card

 Hello my crafty friends, back with another birthday card to share with you.   I have four guy birthdays coming up in December and I always struggle with masculine cards so I thought I better get started early this year.    This card is following Mary's card sketch #3 over at cardz TV. This one will be for my brother Sonny he just bought himself a Harley Davidson motorcycle last year and yet this is far from a Harley I thought it looked pretty cool after I added some cool details and tweaks.
The motorcycle is from Cricut - Happy Father's Day cartridge.   I cut the two layers it offered on the cartridge as normal... the top one being in recollections black and the layering layers that go behind I did in a different textured black card stock.   I then I added clear embossing powder to the tank and fenders layers,  it really came out with a cool Glossy textured effect because it was on textured card stock to begin with.   Then I cut a complete blackout layer to go behind everything in a reflective silver card stock  to add all the awesome chrome look to the bike.   I also cut the seat section out of the textured card stock but I didn't add the embossing powder to it.   And one last final touch I did to the bike is on the very front part of the headlight I added glossy accents to make it look like a glass lens.

 Both of the label and banner die-cuts are from spellbinders but on each one I hand drew the inner section of the die and hand cut to give it a layered look.   After I adhered the polka-dot one I put it back in the die and ran it through with the embossing Mat to really let it pop  and mold to the shape.
For the word banner I added an old happy birthday rub-on from my stash.  I have a trick for making rub-on's attach easier in case anyone doesn't know this:   I cut the rub-on to fit the gray piece of paper,  I layered my die-cutting machine up as if I would be embossing only instead of putting the grey paper with the rub-on on top of it inside the embossing folder I laid it underneath the embossing folder and ran it through.   In most cases this gives enough pressure that the rub-on sticks to whatever you're attaching it to .... sometimes however you still do have to do a little rubbing as I did with this one just on the very ends though.  My Rub-on's are very old,  not sure if that makes a difference.   So once I had the rub-on attached to the gray piece of paper I inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink and then I adhered it to the embossed banner.   Both the motorcycle and the word banner are popped up on foam tape.   Plus I added 3 Grey enamel dots to the left bottom corner.

Card Base Layer in a grey rivot paper -  cut with spellbinders card creator die
4 X 5.25 layer in black recollections – Simon says stamp, Bundle of stitched shapes
Top section silver reflective layer - embossed with Cuttlebug diamond plate folder
Bottom section  diagonal striped star card stock  - Pressed petals, punk paper stack
Gray polka-dot paper – from my stash
Motorcycle  - Cricut  father's Day cartridge
Label – spellbinders labels 20
Word banner – spellbinders ribbon banners

Birthday Wishes "That" folder

 Today I'm sharing another girly Birthday card.    I am finally getting the chance to use my All Occasion embossing folder also known as "that" folder that I ordered online from the UK.  What a fun easy card to make.
I started off with a piece of dark purple Recollection's card stock which I embossed with my All Occasion embossing folder.    I took my blending foam tool and added some picked raspberry distress ink onto the top portion of the card on the raised designs.    I then took my Simon says stamp bundle of stitched shapes rectangle and die-cut the embossed piece to make my card front.   The adorable cupcake is from Cricut Best of 2009 Cartridge.   I ran the top pink frosting Layer through my Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder.   I then used my spectrum Noir clear glitter pen to brush all over that piece.  I then took a spellbinders diecut tag from twisted metal and cut and then embossed the white layer.  I laid the same diecut on a light purple card stock and traced the inside opening with pencil.   I then took my scissors & hand cut around that piece so that I could layer it over the top with the stamping.  I used Birthday Wishes stamp from my Hot off the press Birthday Greetings stamp set,  which I stamped with Momento Tuxedo black ink.   Before adhering those two pieces together with foam tape I brushed the entire outer edge of the white piece with my Spectrum Noir Clear glitter pen and also lightly went around the edges of the light purple layer with the same pen.   I popped the cupcake up on foam tape and added some little purple flower Gems across the embossed center portion of the card.   This would make a great card to mass produce for either card swaps or just to add several to your card giving stash.

Birthday Balloon card

I created this card today to go into some fun challenges this week.    And it will make a great girl's birthday card to stick in my stash .

I just love this awesome paper stack from DCWV, the bright colors and paint splatters are awesome.   The card layout is based on Mary's Sketch #2 over at Cardz TV.   The frames in the center are from Die-Versions whispers called nesting frame one.   The black card stock is from recollections and I cut the back layer with Simon Says stamp stitched bundle of shapes.   I added a cute pink balloon with the white shadow Layer cut from Cricut Artiste cartridge which I popped up on foam tape.   I added some pink and white bakers twine for the balloon string .  The saw tooth sentiment banner I also cut from Artiste Cartridge one in white and a larger shadow Layer in black which I also Popped up on foam tape.   The sentiment stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas - Celebrations stamp set.   I stamped that with Memento Black Tuxedo ink.  I also added two small pink gems on each end of the word banner.

Happy birthday lattice hearts pop up card

This card was super simple  thanks to another fun pop up card file from over at Creative Kuts!

I put this card together using pink and purple card stocks from recollections.  The dark purple background layer I ran through my embossing machine in the cuttlebug Simply Charmed Squares  folder.
I used a Die-Versions Whispers die called Birthday Present in pink which I cut a light purple shadow layer for with my scanNcut 2.  Before assembling the two layers together I took some purple glitter paint that I just purchased and painted the bow and a little scroll design down in the bottom left corner .   However it was much more like glitter glue then glitter paint so I simply sprinkled some purple fine glitter over it.   I added some cute designer recollection's heart Brad's that I thought went well with this card to the top two corners.   I had also picked up some cute sticky puffy banners that I decided to color purple with my spectrum noir markers before attaching to the bottom of my card.   I thought the lattice one would go well on this card.  That is it! Simple Simple!!!  A pretty and girly birthday card to stick in my card stash.

Fall Pumpkin Burst Card

 I decided to create a fun fall card this morning.   I started off with using the Center Sunrise card file from Cheryl over at Creative Kuts.  
I found the beautiful pumpkin that I popped up on foam tape from the Cricut Thanksgiving cartridge.    I used three designer papers for this project, the two in the Sunburst are from Paper Studio - The Classics paper pad and the orange on the pumpkin is from Cricut Animal Kingdom 6x12 paper pack.   The solid orange for the burst outline and tag are also from a Cricut 6X12 paper pad (Earthtones).  The Beautiful Pumpkin is from Cricut CM Cheerful Seasons Cartridge.  The tag itself is die cut from Simon says stamp - bundle of stitched shapes.   The sentiment Hey Pumpkin! is from Craftin' Desert Divas -  Hey pumpkin stamp set, which I stamped with versamark Ink and heat embossed with detail copper embossing powder.  I love how the copper blends so nicely with the deep Browns on this card.  I also added a couple of yellow gemstones I just picked up yesterday at the dollar store to set it off.... what a great find!  I grabbed up lots of colors.
For the inside I used the same orange paper as on the front of the card from Cricut which I die cut with the Simon says stamp bundle of stitched shapes.   Plus more stamping from the same adorable hey pumpkin stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas.

 Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my project today I hope to see you around again soon.

Lattice Pop out Heart Card

Good morning, Wow I have been staying so busy I have not been on here in awhile.  Today I want to share with you the card I have created for my Hubby for our Anniversary.  It will be 10 years this month and I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world. <3
So this card was actually inspired by the inside cut file.  The beautiful center pop out Design that my friend Cheryl over at Creative Kuts created for me.  Wow how stunning the trio  lattice pop out hearts are! 
So I searched through my supplies and decided I wanted to use my HOTP Lacy Things Stamp Set which I did a lot of detail work to achieve the final look.  I started by stamping the large heart on white card stock.  I ran it through my ScanNcut 2 and cut out the outside of the stamped heart.  I set that aside and added a shadow for the cut by sizing it up and cut that in black card stock to back it with.  I also stamped 3 small roses, two on a deep red card stock and the other (center) on white.  I used my craft knife to hand cut the center of the heart out.  I used my cricut to cut the lattice from another one of Cheryl's Pop out card files from white card stock.  I trimmed it to fit behind my stamped heart.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the heart in different shades of red, I also colored the center rose and the lattice with some of those same shades.  I decided to add die cut swirl (Die-Versions Whispers - Leafy Swirl) behind the heart cut from white card stock that I also colored in with red Spectrum Noir Markers.  Also I used foam tape to pop the red stamped Heart with lattice on it over the black shadow layer to give it some added dimension.  The gorgeous mat that I layered all of this onto was created with an edge die on either end of my card front layer cut from the deep red cardstock.  I knew the pretty lattice in it would match up well with the heart I created.  This die is - Crafters Companion Edge'ables Lattice Flourish Die.  The floral striped Paper is from an old paper stack called Rosewood from Colorbok.  I hand cut it to fit over the center of the die cut front.  I also stamped With Love from the same stamp set - HOTP Lacy Things.  All layered onto a black card base to complete the front.
For the center of the card I just simply cut Cheryl's awesome Trio lattice heart pop out layer twice, once in the deep red and once in the Colorbok Rosewood Pattern paper that matches the front.  I then cut away the lattice hearts on the pattern paper one and layered it over the deep red layer with the lattice hearts popping out.  So stunning!  I used the mats from another one of her cards.  The Sentiments were from a CD I purchased from Paper wishes - HOTP 1000 Card Quotes CD and printed onto the ivory card stock.  I then took the top layer of my sentiment mat which I cut out on my cricut, I drew a pencil line around it and had my ScanNcut2 cut it out.  I erased the pencil line and then inked the edges with Walnut stain distress ink.  Layered it onto black mat and placed them onto the inside of card. 

Of course I needed an envelope so I used more of the ivory card stock and my WRMK 123 punchboard to create this envelope.  I did some stamping from the same stamp set,  HOTP Lacy Things.  Plus I added one more item printed from that quotes CD up in the right corner to be used for the stamp and had my SNC2 cut it out for me, I inked the edges and glued it down.
