Postcard from Paris

well a Polaroid I suppose ;-)..
I made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: frame it and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: anything goes, showcasing Gina K products. But I have none.

For my card I used the Your Next Stamp set called Photo Booth, stampe dit with MFT Extreme black ink onto Crafter's Companion Neenah Paper and colored it with my markers, then cut it out.

At first I looked at other images as these were a bit small for  the Sugar Pea Design Polaroid Journal card. But then I saw this one that looks like theire photobombing my Paris scene. That's a diecutI made with the Marianne Design LR0368, but there's many

similar ones around.
I traced the outside of the polaroid card on the remainder of the Neenah paper and inkblended the sky with Versamagic inks.
Mounted the frame with thin strips offoamtape and adhered the sky. then more foamtaoe to raise the Polaroid off the cardbase. Smile isalso fromt he same die set and I just used the same blackcard as for the Eiffel tower border.

Computer Fun

Computer Fun is the name of this Lili of the Valley Stamp/digi.
I printed it on Crafter's Companion Neenah paper and colored it with Copic Markers.
I added the sentiment in Photoshop.
Adhered the panel to a cardbase with tape runner.


I made it for the Male Room Challenge, the theme is Computer or gaming and you can find more info here

AAA Cards Challenge #141: it's our 5th birthday bash, with video

This fortnight we celebrate our 5th birthday and our theme for our cards is, ofcourse, birthday.
We have many sponsors and a little treasure hunt for you, so  make sure you visit ever DT blog to collect all your badges.

For my Card I used the  Art Impressions set. loads of fun and the sentiment as well. On the inside of the card I stamped Happy Birthday, incase that wasn't clear from "I see no reason to act your age" .

I colored my image with Polychromos. And I really need a better tool than those paper stumps. I've tried a  brush but that didn't work for me either. I just can't be precise enough with those stumps.

The sentiment on the inside is from Woodware (aged to perfection) and a couple would have been great with this image too, but it would eat into my white space, and we don't want to do that!.

I stamped the image with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink onto Ecoline watercolor printer paper.

The Less is More Challenge this fortnight is: embossing 1/3 of your card.

For my card I stamped feathers from Aladine (clear plumes) with Versamark ink and embossed them with Wow white pearl embossing powder. I used cold pressed watercolor paper and Ecoline inks to color the panel, then cut it to size to fit the 1/3 requirement.

On the cardbase I stamped the sentiment from  CAS-ual Fridays (heartfelt  sayings) with Versafine Clair ink.

Mounted the strip of feathers with foamtape and adhered it on the base.

"masculine" treat box- pinch box, with video and free pattern

I called  it masculine, just because of the colors I grabbed, If you use flowers and pastels it's a girlie version.
It holds two mini snack candy bars (mine are supermarket brand,but are similar to Mars and Snickers). You can put in smaller things like those Celebrations bonbons or sweets or whatever you fancy of course.

For the bag you need a piece of (solid) paper measuring 4"x8"and you can get 4 out of one sheet of 12x12"if you cut it at 8"first.
You need to score on the long side at: 3", 3"3/4,6"3/4 and7"1/2
on the short side at 3/4 of an inch.

For the wrapper you need a  piece of patterned paper measuring 2"x9"
you score on the long side at: 3:3/8, 4"1/4

and 7"5/8

Cut away bits as indicated in video or pattern and glue it all together.

Smarties

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is a mood board and on it are Smarties. I've always loved the purple in the mix, such a pretty color.

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use a stencil.
For my card I  made a stencil of all those dots or Smarties with circle dies.
Then masked them off one by one and applied Distress Oxide inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Mermaid lagoon)
I shaded them a little, like the Mermaid lagoon with Chipped Sapphire and the Twisted citron with Mowed Lawn, but  I don't have all the 60 colors, so done where I can ;-)

Then I grabbed the Concord & 9th Butterfly Beauty to stamp the solid Butterflies with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

The sentiment is from Carlijn Design (gefeliciteerd) and I've also Used the Nocturne ink.
The added a few enamel dots.
