So proud of you!

Hi guys! It's Jamie, from Doin' it the Wright Way, and I'm back! My scrapbooking buddy had a need for a card the other day, and I told her she couldn't go to the store to buy one, that I wanted to make one for her.

I had just bought some new dies after seeing all the lovely creations the oh-so-talented Beth makes with them, so I wanted to give them a try. 

After being told the recipient's favorite color was blue, I, of course, busted out my distress oxide inks. Seriously, if you don't have any yet, you NEED to get some. They're addicting, AND, they're on sale over at our SumMore Fun shop!

Then I got out my new peek-a-boo die set and had fun creating this card. I simply added two layers of white cardstock for the die-cut portion and glued it all together. 

For my sentiment, I needed to use the word proud. You'll never guess what stamp set I found it on!?! Raisin Boat's Strokes of Pride stamp set. It was perfect for my sentiment, even though it's a patriotic set! I stamped it with my distress oxide and then embossed it with a clear powder.

To finish it off, I added some coordinating blue gems and some embroidery floss. 

A couple of days after the event, the recipient of the card reached out to me and asked me to make her some thank you cards.

For the first card, I used the super cool Retro Mod reversible embossing folder (also on a HUGE sale) for the dark blue cardstock. I added it to a white card base.

For my sentiment, I used the beautiful Victorine Originals thank you stamp, and embossed it onto white cardstock. I inked the edges and added some clear rhinestones to finish it off.

For the second card, I went back to my distress oxides and had some fun "flicking" the color off a paint brush onto a piece of white cardstock. I added some washi tape and adhered that all onto an embossed card base.

For the sentiment, I went back to my go-to sentiment stamp set of Raisin Boat's Flourishing Thoughts. I inked the edges of my sentiment piece and then attached it with pop dots. Some round coordinating gems finished it off.

Thanks for checking out my latest creations. I'm gearing up to attend a few scrapbooking crops this month, so hope to have some scrapbooking layouts to share with you soon!

Musical Birthday Wishes....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
DT Theresa here from Theresa's Crafty Creations

and it's my day to take over the blog! YAY!!

 I thought I would share a Birthday card -

I went ALL Rainbow on you guys! LOL

I'm using my Distress Oxides inks - Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade,

Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, & Wilted Violet

I started out by blending all my colors together on a piece of white cardstock 

then letting it dry completely

Once it was dry I stamped the Music Background with some

versamark ink and poured some Ultra Fine White

Embossing powder over it and heat set it - 

Then I die cut it out with a Stitched Postage Frame Die - 

I die cut a Stitched Frame Die with some White Cardstock

Then I grabbed a piece of Vellum and stamped the

Happy Birthday Sentiment right onto it with

some black onyx versafine ink and poured some ultra

black embossing powder over it and heat set it -

I thought the Black Embossing on the vellum would stand out 

a little better over my rainbow background - 

I attached the vellum with some liquid glue behind the

Happy Birthday Sentiment (So it wouldn't show through) then

I wanted a sweet bow, so I grabbed some Berry Trendy Twine

and tied it on the lower portion of my Postage frame 

 I adhered it to my white piece then attached it to my black cardbase.

For a little extra bling I used some Rainbow Jewels from Lucy's Cards.

A versatile shooting star

Hello! I was inspired by my fellow design team member's shooting star creation this week, so I thought I'd create my own cards with this Victorine Originals Celestial stamp set.

The first card I made for my niece's 2nd birthday that is this weekend. I used distress oxide inks for my background - smooshing, splattering and drying in layers. I added a spritz of pearl paint over the top, too, to give it more shimmer.

I wanted the shooting stars to be fun and whimsical, so I used different colors and different directions to put them all over my card. Then, I grabbed the wonderful Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts stamp set.

I put my sentiment on a separate piece of paper, and then added the shimmer spray over the top again - it kind of gave the sentiment a water-color effect, but I'm okay with that since it goes with the rest of the card. I matted it on a piece of coordinating cardstock and used pop dots to pop it off the card. To finish it off, I added clear sparkles all over.

Since I was having so much fun with both the distress oxide inks and the shooting star stamp, I decided to make a second card with a totally different theme.

I used the distress oxide inks for my background, and then topped it with the pearl paint shimmer spray.

I stamped the shooting star stamp multiple times along the side of my card, and then I added a Christmas sentiment. I love the font and everything about the Victorine Originals Celebrate the Season stamp.

To make the sentiment pop a bit more, I embossed it with an opalescent embossing powder, which gives it an awesome shine. I finished off my card with some coordinating colors of Nuvo drops.

National Anthem.....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
DT Theresa here from Theresa's Crafty Creations
and it's my day to take over the blog!!!

Today I thought I would share a Red, White, & Blue Card-

With the fourth of July coming up I felt the need

to create some Patriotic cards that I will mail

off to some of my friends!

I'm using the TOTALLY AWESOME

National Anthem Background (74508-S) Stamp

from Victorine Originals!! I gotta say this was

so easy to use and I LOVE how my background turned out!!

I used my Distress oxide inks in Candied Apple & Salty Ocean

Then I grabbed my Picket Fence Distress ink and stamped

the center in the white ink - It looked like it might fade out

so I pulled out some White embossing powder and poured

it over the center, part and heat embossed it

It totally made a huge difference and looks great between

the Red & Blue Words ...

As you can tell I did all of that on some Kraft Cardstock

And since it looks so nice, I didn't want to

take away from it too much --

So I decided to use a piece of Vellum and stamp

U.S.A. & an Eagle from the Strokes of Pride Raisin Boat

Stamp set. I used some Ultra Fine Black Embossing

powder on that part and I think it turned out nice...

 I felt my card needed a little something Extra --

So I die cut 2 Medium sized stars in Blue & Red and then 

2 tiny Stars in Silver then I adhered them

in the areas were the vellum was.

-- Just a closer look at my card and the Stamp Sets I used --

Pretty paper...

Do you ever get those ideas in your head, then find yourself halfway through the project asking WHAT WAS I THINKING? That was most definitely this project - but I'm so happy I stuck it out as I LOVE the finished project!

I made this beautiful card first, and absolutely loved it. So, I thought to myself, that would make a beautiful background for a page in my sister's wedding album - recreate it! I think I forgot how much work it would be...

For both backgrounds, I started with a white cardstock base and then had fun with my distress oxide inks. I smooshed them on my craft mat, spritzed with water and then smooshed them on my paper in different directions/places/etc.

Once I was happy with my colors and the paper was dry, I got out the beautiful Raisin Boat All in Toile stamp. Seriously, isn't it gorgeous!

I'm a huge fan of purple, so that's the color I went with. I used my purple ink, and then embossed each flower. For the scrapbook page, using my stamp positioning tool made this SO MUCH EASIER! I designed a section, and then repeated it multiple times, just by moving my paper around. Truth be told, I kind of forgot how long it would take to emboss all this! That stamp embossed looks so cool!

To finish off my card, I added a sentiment from the Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts stamp, some coordinating fiber and nuvo drops.

To finish off my scrapbook page, I added some fiber and some metal embellishments.

Remember

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing a card with a great message, Remember. I'm pulling out my go-to words, quick and simple, with this card. Maybe I should make that my motto. I did make this in a hurry yesterday. I've been battling a serious cold for two weeks and yesterday was the first day back in the craft room. My husband joked, you haven't been on your laptop but a few times, you are sick! I should have said REMEMBER who cooks your food, buddy! LOL Anyway, I think I'm on the downside of this mess and so glad. 

Using the Strokes of Pride Stamp Set  stamp the "streak" using red ink on white cardstock. Stamp the star on heat resistant acetate using versamark ink and blue embossing powder. Tip: Always remember to use anti static powder when using embossing powder and pre-heat your heat gun. Heat set the powder. Stamp sentiment using gray ink on white cardstock, add 3D mounting foam to the back of sentiment and decided placement on card then adhere to acetate. Flip the acetate over and add another piece of 3D mounting foam to the backside of acetate hiding it behind the sentiment, adhere to stamped card panel. Add enamel dots randomly on acetate adding 3D mounting on the backside of the acetate, hiding it behind the enamel dots and adhere to stamped panel. Center on a 4.25" x 5.5" card base. 

Stamp the sentiment "this nation..." inside of card.

This is a wonderful patriotic stamp set!

Rainbow Friendship....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
DT Theresa here from Theresa's Crafty Creations

and it's my day to take over the blog!!! 😃

Today I thought I would share a Sweet Friendship card -

I really wanted to make myself a rainbow card! So I pulled out

some of my Distress Oxides and a piece of Canson Watercolor 

paper - All I did was blend an assortment of Distress Oxides

onto the watercolor paper then added a few drops of

water here & there and then dried it with my heat tool.

Once it was completely dried, I pulled out

my embossing static tool to avoid any static

before starting my embossing -- then I pulled out the

Beautiful Raisin Boat Stamp set called (Imagine) and

stamped the large swirl stamp with some versamark ink

onto my blended background...

I grabbed my Ultra Fine Black embossing powder

and poured that over my stamped image, then heat set it

It was beautiful just as is... BUT... I wanted a butterfly too!

So I took a scrap piece of watercolor paper and did

some more Distress Oxide ink blending and proceeded

the same process of using my Static tool, then stamping

the butterfly in versamark ink, then adding the black

embossing powder, then heat set it - 

I then Fussy cut my butterfly out and before I could

layer my butterfly I grabbed a Stitched Rectangle die

to cut my card front down just a smidge. Then I added

my butterfly with some dimensionals to pop it up!

I placed my card front on a piece of white Fun Foam

then placed it on top of my white card base -

Only after this, did I realize I wanted a sentiment!

Happens all the time to me!! How about you??? LOL

Anyway I grabbed the Victorine Originals

Stamp sentiment (I'm so glad to have a friend like you)

and stamped it in the corner with some Memento Tuxedo

black ink (Using my Misti) of course --

I then added some pretty Ice cube Jewels to

 complete the design... and now it's ready to be

mailed to one of my crafty friends!!! :)

Imagine (10156-Z)

 I'm so glad to have a Friend (Victorine Originals)

Floral Elegant Birthday...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
DT Theresa here from Theresa's Crafty Creations
and it's my day to take over the blog!! 

YAY for me... 🙌


Today I thought I would share a Lovely Birthday Card -

I took a piece of Koh-I-Noor White Bristol Smooth Watercolor 

paper and blocked off a border around my 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of 

Cardstock -- Then I pulled out some of my

Distress Oxides in - Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio,

Broken China, Wilted Violet, & Worn Lipstick

Once I got all the colors blended, I dropped some

water droplets onto my blended background, then put a paper 

towel over it, to pick up those drops...

Then I took my Heating tool and heat set the background

completely before I pulled off my Border

which gave it a nice clean white line all the way around

Then I took a Stitched Rectangle die to trim my

image to the size I wanted - 3 3/4 x 5

Then I place my background in my Misti and

used my Static Powder tool all over it -

I stamped my Floral design with some

Versafine Onyx black ink and then poured

some Ultra Fine Black Embossing powder

all over my image - tapping off any access

then heat set my image -

I did the same steps for the Sentiment as well

After it was all set up, I took my Sheer Shimmer

Sparkle Spritz spray and sprayed the front of my 

design - Then heat set that for a few seconds

to make sure it was completely dry before flipping it

over and adding some Fun Foam as my dimension --

I attached my design to my Mambo Pink

Card Base and added a few Clear Jewels

And that's about it! I love the look of this card

and it's gonna be perfect to send to a friend!

I'm using the Floral Sayings (10549-X) Stamp Set

This set is Perfect for so many

occasions -- It really is an Elegant Set!!

I'm also using the Elegant Sayings (10517-X) Stamp Set

I thought the sentiments would fit perfectly with

the Floral Set --
