Have a Tail Waggin' Day!

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by today! I'd like to share with you my third April reveal set card, where I chose to use the cute Just me and my Dog Set 892 along with the older Puppy Girl Set 793.

Using the Stamp Platform so I would get good coverage of ink and get the images lined up nicely, I stamped with the Nuvo Hybrid Ink Acorn Brown.

The images were then colored using the new Nuvo Creative Pens, which are Alcohol Markers. I wanted to keep the color palette browns and pinks with just the splash of blue, so the packs of the pens I had on hand covered this just adding in a couple of blue Copic markers.

After the images were colored in, I set to work on the background. I cut a piece of the Craft Perfect Blush Heartbeat specialty paper using the Tonic Guillotine (I found that other cutters just don't cut the fabric paper out crisply). Before layering the piece to the brown card base, I cut out some little hearts using the Tonic Traditional Hearts Layering Basics Die set using the Tonic Tangerine to use as embellishments later.

A white heart was also cut out using the heart die set and then the sentiment was stamped in Nuvo Clear Mark ink and was heat embossed with Teddy Brown, a lovely rich detailed brown embossing powder.

After the sentiment was stamped, it was edged with Pink Sherbet, one of the little inks from the Diamond Hybrid Ink Rose Garden Collection.

I also swiped some of the same ink on to the colored scene and edged it before layering to the Blush Heartbeat paper and then to the brown card base. The little die cut hearts were popped up with Mounting Tape and the sentiment was attached with an Action Wobble, which makes the sentiment "wag". This finished off my card for today.

Hope you've enjoyed seeing how my card was created? Please let me know in the comments below and also over on the SNS Blog in order to be eligible to win the $20 gift certificate to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Store.

So, to start of my card today, a heart (Tonic Traditional Hearts Layering Basics Die) was die cut from the center of a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Craft Perfect Embossed Paper Blush Heartbeat. I use the Tonic Guillotine to cut these papers, otherwise they don't cut cleanly.

I then swiped the cut panel with Poppy Red hybrid ink.

I sprinkled one of the specialty embossing powders, Copper Flame on top of the inked panel and heat set from below. This would stop the larger granules from flying off.

Once this was heat set, I continued around the panel, sponging on some Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossing with some Bronze Rose and then some Gold Detail.

Using the Stamp Platform and the anti-static bag, to ensure nice detailed embossing, the sentiment was inked with Nuvo Clear Mark and was stamped on pink cardstock. This was then heat set with Gold Detail and attached to the back of the embossed and inked panel.

The key (Recollections) chipboard pieces were inked with an old Versamark pad. I have an old pad labeled for chipboard pieces, as the burnt edges of the chipboard pieces leave marks on the pad. The keys were also heat embossed with Gold detail. I gave them two coats, to ensure a nice even shiny coat.

A piece of gold thread tied them together and this was attached to the panel with a gold heart brad.

The different sized hearts were die cut, using the Tangerine, from Blush Heartbeat Embossed Paper and Rose Platinum Mirror Cardstock.

The chipboard heart was inked with the old Versamark pad and first heat embossed with Cayenne, but I felt it was too dark and so I re-inked and went over it with Petal Pink.

This was attached to the panel with a little pink heart shaped brad along with the heart cut outs which were attached to the card front with tape and mounting tape, to give varied dimension. The panel was then layered to a 6" x 6" piece of the Rose Platinum Mirror Card.

Some Rose Water Nuvo Jewel Drops were added around the inside of the heart center.

... and once the drops dried - that finished up my card for the day ...

Below you will find a list of the products used in the making of my card today.

Foxy and Fabulous!

Hi there,

So glad you stopped by today, where I have another card from the SNS January Reveal Sets, this time using the Hello Foxy Set 882 from the January Reveal. I have also incorporated some images from the three silhouette sets: Wetlands 1 Set 790, Wetlands 2 Set 791 and Right Beside You Set 812.

I made my background by sponging Memento inks Summer Sky, Dandelion and Cantaloupe to glossy white cardstock, using the Jumbo Daubers. Once the ink was dry, I applied the anti-static bag to avoid getting any embossing powder specks where I didn't want them, and the background images were positioned in the Stamping Platform (this way the scene was created and stamped in a oner!). They were inked with Nuvo Clear Mark and were then heat embossed with Black Detail.

I went back and added another of the grasses and then trimmed the panel in the Tonic Guillotine.

Mr. Fox was stamped in Acorn Brown ink on Kraft paper and was colored with the Copics. After he was colored, he was fussy cut using the Tonic 5" Mini Scissors and then Snow White flocking was applied to his tail, ears and chest with Brushable Glue.

Here you can see the fuzziness of the flocking. Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew was also applied to his eyes and nose.

A scrap strip of Super Adhesive Sheet was attached to piece of white cardstock and then run through the Tangerine with a couple of the Tonic Layered Clouds dies. The protective backing was removed and Twinkling Clouds Sparkle N Soft was applied to the exposed adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped in Nuvo Clear Mark and was heat embossed with the detailed embossing powder Sienna. I ran a copic marker around the Spellbinders Framed One Tags. This was attached by a brad over the bird, so that it could move. The panel was layered to glossy white and then to a black card base. The fox and cloud were attached with Wobbles, to finish off my moving parts card today.
