Creating a 3D effect on your cards!

Hello there crafty peeps!

Today I have a little tutorial to share with you for my Richard Garay 'Make Amazing Girl' DT project! I made this 'Fun' little card to share with you. Aren't those balloons adorable! Well I'm going to show you how I made those by combining a couple of products, you might not otherwise combine. I always try to think outside the box a little and come up with something a little unique or at least use the products in a little bit of a different way.

Here we go.. Let's make some 3D looking

bubbly balloons!

So I used the little Celebra'tions Tag That (thought bubble die) for my balloons. 

Now, you see the coffee stamp set, 'Cup for two' off to the right.. I stamped the cup first, 2 times in the Captivating Coral Ink and then cut out the die. 

I then trimmed the points off of the bottom of the thought bubbles. Now they look like balloons!!!

Next, I used my Fun Stampers Journey Bloom Tool and got out the stylus piece and went over the entire backside of the 'Balloon' in a circular motion. You will start to see the balloon curl on the edges.

You can see the difference in the one I haven't done yet...

Doesn't that look darling! You have some bubbly little balloons for your card! 

Oh and take a look at those green splatters! I used the Lucous Green Liqid Silk. I just LOVE this stuff. It's like a  bottle of nail polish so when you tap on the lid you really get a great splatter effect!!

Well I hope you enjoyed my little tutorial. Until next time my freinds!

A Spring Birthday Card with Unity!

Here's a card I made using Unity's January Kit of the Month. This kit is so versatile and the sizes of the stamps are so much bigger than what you would think from the photo online. The Sentiment is from the Sweet Elle Stamp of the Week Set.

I used the 'no line' stamping technique, one of my favorites. I stamped the image in Memento Desert Sand ink and colored with my Copics using Y0000, Y21, Y26, Y28, G82 and G85. 

I added some Flowersoft along the entire bottom of the card. I love the texture the Flowersoft gives.

I took some Journey Glaze and put some in the centers of all of the flowers. You can see a little shine to them in the photo. Of course I use lots of 3d foam dots when creating. It adds so much to your cards. Even if it's a simple one. 

I hope you have a wonderful day.

A Simple Lili of the Valley Christmas Card!

Hello crafty peeps!

Today I have another simple Christmas card to share. I'm using this adorable Christmas Set

by Lili of the Valley. I think that many people overlook these acrylic stamps that LOTV have because the rubber ones are so stinking cute! But-- you are missing out on some great images in the other stamp categories. Great for the crafter who doesn't color and awesome for the mixed media artists out there! I used my inks from Fun Stamper Journey!

 

Enjoy my video below!

Hi everyone!

I have another clean and simple card to share with you. I'm whipping these babies out.. I might actually send out Christmas Cards this year! I have used my Fun Stampers Journey star stamp that came in my starter kit. It's called Banner Party Stamp Set and has some fabulous matching dies to go with it! I didn't get a chance to order Christmas stamps so I'm showing simple and versatility. This can really be a card for ANY occasion. I hope you enjoy my little video. :) It's just under 2 minutes!
