Mod Squad Challenge - A Little Bit of Spring

Dear Ones~
This week Vicki Dutcher and I are hosting the Mod Squad Challenge. Our challenge is A Little Bit of Spring. We thought you might be getting tired of creating fall, winter and Christmas cards, so we are inviting you to create a card or project reminiscent of SPRING!!!

One of our sponsors is the wonderful stamp company  

Kitchen Sink Stamps

 

Kitchen Sink Stamps offers us a discount CODE: ModSquad15.

  These stamps are amazing. Most have a multi-stamp feature that lets you get great detail in your images using several colors. There is real dimension with a 3-D effect! And one of the best features of this stamp company is that there are color recipes for most of the multi-step stamps, so you don't have to guess what colors to use.

THE PRIZE

Here's my card:

I used an awesome mult step stamp set called Muli Step Lilacs here. It comes out beautifully and different color combinations can be used for different effects. With Versamark, I dipped the edges of the white card stock on which I had stamped the flowers, and then sprinkled on liquid platinum embossing powder and heat set it. It gives a pretty gilded edge that I love.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD White and Wild Orchid Card Stock

Christmas Plaid

Dear Ones~
Well, Michigan State lost to Michigan. I always like watching that game. Course I cheer for State, so there's that, but oh well. It's just a game.

I was so happy to find a little time to play today. It's been several days. Here's what I created:

I didn't have a lot of time, so I kept this fairly simple. I like to make rustic cards once in awhile and I think that's what this is. I just got the new GKD Nordic Winter Stamp set and wanted to get it inky. Here I heat embossed it with white on some GKD Dark Sage card stock. I always forget about this Dark Sage color, and I find it quite pleasing.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD Kraft, Dark Sage and Red Hot Card Stock

GKD Nordic Winter Stamp Set

GKD Compliments of the Season Stamp Set for Greeting

DCWV Christmas Plaid Patterned Paper

SU Oval Dies

GKD White Embossing Powder

Stash Ribbon and Gems

I will be entering this card in:

Stamp TV Monday Challenge - Just a Touch (use a touch of red)

Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes

Double D Challenges - Plaid

So that's it for me today. It certainly is fall - very dreary and damp. Hope you are having a good weekend. And thanks for all your nice comments, they mean the world to me!!

Just Us Girls #366 - Photo Week

Dear Ones~

This week is PHOTO WEEK over at Just Us Girls. Our host, Chris, has found this awesome photo for your inspiration. Isn't that cat amazing???

Here's my example:

I have absolutely zero cat stamps, but I do have this cute kittie die from Sizzix. I love the way he is after those little bats. The background was done with acrylic paint and alcohol. HERE is a video to show you how it's done. My background is subtle, but it's great fun to do....try it!! These photos are really, really bright. The card is NOT this bright in real life...stupid camera!!

Golden Madonna

Dear Ones~
Well, today is Thursday, but it has seemed like Saturday all day to me. But then that's what it's like when you are retired. EVERY DAY is Saturday...lol.

Today I made a card for The Stamp TV Weekly Challenge. This week Sylvia has invited us to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) one of the designers on the Design Team, and she has picked Karen Hightower. Karen's work is FABULOUS!! Just go HERE and take a look at her fantastic creations.

Here is Karen's card I chose:

And here's my card:

I am such a fan of heat embossing on vellum, so Karen's card really caught my eye. I have to make a confession - I'm really, REALLY lazy. Karen had stitched the vellum to the patterned paper, and I just didn't feel like pulling out my sewing machine for one stitch line. So, I hand stitched the vellum to my patterned paper with gold thread. I kind of love how it turned out, and it really wasn't too much of a hassle. I used a tool called the Scor Bug Embosser. The Scor-Bug is a rotary tool which is used with a scoring board and embosses a row of pearl like little bumps adding texture and relief to your card stock. Oh, and I think the gold foiling on the background patterned paper is so elegant and matches the platinum embossing powder I used for the focal.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD Sandy Beach Card Stock

DCWV Copper Foil Card Stock

DCWV Cup of Cheer Patterned Paper

PTI Vellum

GKd Christmas Joy Stamp Set

Stash Gold Thread

Ranger Platinum Embossing Powder 

Martha Stewart Stars Punch

So that's it for now. Wonder what I will be doing tomorrow, when it feels like Saturday again....ha ha. Hope your week is going well. And thanks for your comments, they mean the world to me!!!!

Here is the card I chose to CASE:

And here my CASE'd card:

I discovered a new product by Heidi Swapp called Minc Reactive Paint. It's a sticky paint that you apply with a brush and then run through your laminator with foil. I love it because it's clear and you won't get any black residue showing through from the toner. The butterflies were stamped with the 3 Step Butterflies Kitchen Sink Stamp Set and fussy cut. Then I painted the Reactive Paint around the edges and ran it through my laminator with Rose Gold Foil. The leaves are die cut from the Paper Smooches Foliage 2 Dies (thanks, Donna).

Here's a close up. It's my first attempt, so my lines are kind of thick. I think this is going to be a lot of fun to play with. There is also a mist that reacts the same way.

See more about the paint HERE.

 I decided to stamp the 3-step leaf stamp from Altenew's A Beautiful Day on kraft card stock with white pigment ink, and then use colors for the details. I did the Rock and Roll technique with Delightful Dijon and Cherry Cobler for the detail image, and the outline was done with Cajun Craze. I really like the look. The stripe is a background stamp from Stampin' Up. 

I love it and use it a lot.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD Cranberry Tart and Kraft Card Stock

PTI Rustic Cream Card Stock

Altenew A Beautiful Day Stamps

Power Poppy - Make It Move

Dear Ones~
A beautiful day in Northern Michigan. Our apples are ready and we will soon be making apple sauce. I'm taking advantage of this lull before the work begins to make a couple of cards. This one will be entered in the Power Poppy Power and Spark Challenge - Make It Move.

Here's my card:

The challenge was to make a card that had movement. I was kind of stumped! Not because I don't do interactive cards, LOVE doing those, but all my Power Poppy stamps are florals and I just didn't know what to do with those where I would create movement. Then today I watched a video by Dawn Griffith and I had my answer....a slider card. See her video HERE. A slider card has movement, right?? I kind of like how it came out. The rose is a digi stamp from Power Poppy and it was fussy cut after coloring with Copics

Here are the Ingredients:
