AAA Cards Challenge #138: Along the Edge + Sewing. With video

This fortnight our theme is : Along the Edge with the optional twist of "sewing". It was Elaine's choice and our sponsor this game is Stamplorations.

For my card I used a Bugaboo digi  stamp called Needle Queen, but there's a few in this category, check them out here. I've printed here on the edge of a Ecoline watercolor panel, suitable for your printer, colored her with Spectrum Aquablend pencils and a Dove blender pen.

The panel is from the same paper and I;ve added the sentiment in Photoshop, you can also do this in Word or alike.
Because of the sentiment : make your own style" and the image of an older lady, I went with bright and weird colours. I think it goes

with the sentiment and the image.

I've then diecut a semi circle from that panel and stamped a round stitched stamped around it. I  bought it second hand from Facebook, but it came like this, I have no idea who made it. But you might have something similar or you might try to do it by hand. I l almost did with the bottom one, as it is wood mounted rubber from TimHoltz/StampersAnonymous. and I  didn't wan to to mess up all my work.
But the Stamppositioner worked, even if I wobbled the stamps as it's very narrow.
For both I've used Versafine Clair Nocturn ink.
I covered up a little smudge with Create a Smile enamel shapes. Mounted the panel with lots of
foamtape as it's so thin and flimsy, then added the lady and then added all to the cardbase. Trimmed where necessary.

Carlijn Design - Bedankt jij bent een schat, met video in Dutch and English

Vandaag heb ik een piraat met zijn schatkist gekleurd.
De schatkist en de teksten zijn uit de Carlijn Design set "bedankt schat", hoe kan het ook anders.
De achtergrond moet een lucht en strand uitbeelden en die heb ik gemaakt door Distress inkt met een kwast aan te brengen op de kaartbasis.

Ik heb dan een rond venster uit een enkele kaart gestanst en de teksten gestempeld met Versafine Clair inkt. Eerst zat er een foutje  in, kijk de video wat ik voor stoms deed ;-)


De schatkist heb ik uitgestanst met bijpassende stans en de piraat van My Favorite Tjings had ik in mijn voor gestempelde en  uitgesneden voorraad.
Beide heb ik gestempeld met My Favorite Things Extreme black inkt en gekleurd met de Spectrum Noir normale en triblend markers.

De enkele kaart heb ik met foam op de basis geplakt en de piraat en schatkist ook waarnodig met foam tape en of gewone tape.
Beetje Nuvo shimmer pen op de juwelen voor dat schitterende effect.

Wake me when it's Spring


That sentiment from Simon Says Stamp (Some Bunny Special) seemed fitting for my snail card. As They seem to spring (ha) into action as soon as the first rays of sunshine break and even without anything vegetable related yet, they will munch on snowdrops,daffodils, fritilarias, well anything pretty on my piece of land..I have an allotment garden, a vegetable patch if you will. Hosta's are never safe, neither are any of my vegetables lol...anything I like, they like!

The Male Room Challenge is Spring and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is on the farm, and although I dismissed my Lawn Fawn Critters on the farm for something a bit more out of the box, I'm sure there's many snails on any farm, just like vegetable patch, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, is animal antics and so I am entering this card into all three challenges.

I've stamped the images on hot pressed smooth watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and colored them in with Inktense Pencils, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out (Spellbinders 18775 snail). The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp (Some Bunny Special) and I stamped it with the same ink.

Carlijn Design Bedankt Schat

Voor vandaag heb ik de Carlijn Design Bedankt Schat set gebruikt en alcohol inkt, heel veel alcohol inkt en blending solution op Yupo papier en ook heel veel adem ;-) D.W.Z. ik heb geblazen tot ik hoofdpijn kreeg haha....
Wanneer de blending solution opdroogt, maar nog plakt heb ik gouden Fab Foil erop "geplakt". Dat is een  techniek die ongeveer 50% van de keren werkt. Ik heb wel gemerkt dat hoe meer blending solution hoe meer het plakt, als je alleen alcohol gebruikt dan werkt het niet.

Voor de groet heb ik Bedankt uit de set Bedankt schat met Watermark inkt gestempeld en met Wow metallic gold rich regular gebruikt en een heattool.

Daarna heb ik de strook om het paneel gevouwen en vastgeplakt. Wat foamtape om dit paneel op de achtergrond te plakken.

Use paint...


That is the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and I've purposely bought Distress paints (blueprint Sketch and Twisted Citron) as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: anything goes, showcasing Tim Holtz.

So the paints are Tim Holtz and so it the diamond die I've used (Sizzix 660220) and the sentiment is from SSS (it's your birthday)
I stamped it with Versafine onyx black ink.

Diecut the diamond lattice thing from a sturdy panel, traced it onto the cardbase and dabbed on the Distress paint. I had never used any before, I do like the matte finish it gives  and the brightness of the colors.

Mounted the panel with foamtape and then adhered it on top.
The cat is from Marianne design (col1454) and I had it in my stash, actually there are more in my stash, but I just had to use the one that looks like my cats, of course ;-)

AAA Cards Challenge #137: Made in Minutes + Dry Embossing, with video

This fortnight our challenge is Made in Minutes and the optional twist is Dry Embossing.
 Our Sponsor is Heffy Doodle .

I've used the Happy Snappy Crocs from Heffy Doodle and a hearts embossing folder from Marianne Design (DF3438) and the Marianne Design  Eline's Brushes (EC0162).


In the video you can see the extend of my embossing folders (3) and you can always turn to embossing dies and or use your scoring board for a few lines; not too many, let's keep is as CAS as possible ;-)
So I placed a card panel(1cm smaller than the base) on the edge of my embossing folder , to just get a few hearts along the
edge, I thought they would go well with the sentiment.

I then Stamped the happy snappy croc with Versafine Clair ink and then the sentiment as well.


For coloring my croc I've also used a stamp and Pear Tart and Bamboo leaves ink from Memento. Personally I cannot do the colour outside the lines thing, so this stampset helps, also with the time issue.

To finish the card I've place three enamel dots around the image.
