My First Gina K Card Kit - Card

First off, Nature's Touch was the first card kit I purchased from Gina K.  The attention to detail when I opened the box was impressive! It came in a priority mail box and had a sticky large bubble wrap (that came off easily) attached to the plastic storage box that holds kit contents.  If you’ve ever received one of these boxes crushed (I have) you’ll appreciate the effort!

Alcohol ink came to mind to use with the Best Flowers stamp set.  I had a few pieces done but needed two with different colors (green for the leaves).   After the yupo paper was dried with my heat tool, time to stamp.  My MISTI makes stamping easier. Since I have never stamped on yupo paper I decided to try amalgam ink.  Die cut with coordinating dies in my Gemini Jr.  Next, the white space was cut with stitched rectangles and the sentiment was again stamped in the MISTI.  Finally this piece is backed with black card stock. 

Time for to assemble the card. My base is Sea Glass (from the kit).  I arranged the the flowers to wrap around the sentiment, using some foam tape for dimension and added Sparkling Crystals.

Have a great day and keep on crafting

60th Birthday Card

Got a card for a Big birthday …at least that’s what he keeps saying.  My love is turning 60 and I made him a special card.  

I’m using products from lots of companies today.  Starting with the Quintuple Slider from Simon Says Stamps.  Decided to have the Balloon Numbers from Honeybee Stamps cut in Gold Shine card stock, coming up from behind the sentiment - which is from The Stamping Village, it’s colored with Copic markers G46, BG96, E55, E44 and B99.  It’s cut out with Stitched Rectangles from The Stamps of Life and raised with foam tape.  All of this is on my background which is from Laundry Line Paper Pad by Jen Wilson that I got at Hobby Lobby.  I used my Gemini Jr for all the die cutting.  Once my card was assembled, I added some very thin washi tape (from Hobby Lobby) as a border.

Since I cut a 12x12 sheet of Laundry Line, I went ahead and cut card bases for 3 more cards.  Used the sentiments from same stamp set to quickly make 3 similar cards minus the Quintuple slider.

Have a great day and keep on crafting!

Taco Birthday Card

Today I have for you a birthday card using products from many companies.  I get the Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders, and May’s set has these adorable stacked deco edges dies.  Unfortunately it has sold out.  

I placed the die near the edge of my base and ran it through my Gemini Jr.  Then I chose a strip of Bees Knees Paper Pad slightly wider than the die and glued it to the back of the die cut.  Using Sea Glass ink and blending brush I inked my card base.  

Next I stamped with Tuxedo Black ink the Year Nine (Taco) stamp twice.  These images were super quick to color with Copics and fussy cut.  Once the placement was decided, I stamped the sentiment, using my MISTI helped.  One of the tacos is raised with foam tape.

Have a great day and keep on crafting!
