Happy Birthday America!

Hi there,

Hope my American friends had a lovely day yesterday. I'm up first with the start of the new July Reveal. I know I'm a day late with this card, please forgive me, but I thought it may be fun to  show a different feel to the new Emma's Best Birthday Set 902, with a little help from Baxter - July 4th digi set 901!!!


I thought it would be fun to combine Baxter and Emma into a Fourth of July celebration card. So I started by printing the digis of the flag and Baxter on my computer.

The flag was cut down to 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and then Baxter was fussy cut with the 5" mini scissors. I deliberately left a little white edge around him.



Emma was stamped in Hybrid Black Shadow ink, using the Stamp Platform and was then colored in with the Nuvo Alcohol Pens and she also was fussy cut leaving a little white edging.

The sentiment (from the Happy Birthday set) was stamped, also using the Stamp Platform, in Nuvo Clear Mark ink and heat embossed with Cerulean on to a scrap of white cardstock.



The star was cut out from the flag using the Tonic Shaker and Die set with the Tangerine.



The little stars from the Spellbinders Star Circles were mounded on top of the sentiment and the shaker element was placed over the top.

The shaker element was then placed in behind the star hole in the flag.

I used the Tonic Mirror Cardstocks Cobalt Velour and Ruby Red for the card base.



Some Gypsy Red and Denim Velvet Glitters were added to the cake icing with the Nuvo Smooth Precision Pen.

Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew was applied to the flag poles, the tray, the candle flame, Emma's shoes and Baxter's nose to finish off my little scene.


I hope you have enjoyed my share today.

Below is a list of the products that I used in my card today:

 Emma’s Best Birthday 902
Spellbinders Star Circles

Happy Fourth of July!

Hi there,

Today I'd like to share another Sparkle N Sprinkle June Reveal card, using both the fun little Baxter Pup Stamp Set 901, along with the digi version of the set.


I began by printing out little Baxter and after fussy cutting with my 5" mini scissors, I added Versamark ink both from the pad and the Versamarker pen to apply Clear Detail to the flag and his nose before I heat embossed.



I printed out the flag from the digi set. Cloud Nine and Gypsy Red were added to the white and red stripes with the Nuvo Medium Glue Pen. Cloud Nine was applied to the stars with the Quickie Glue Pen.

I stamped Baxter in Black Shadow Hybrid Ink on the stamp platform, for good coverage.



He was then colored with various Nuvo alcohol markers. After fussy cutting, Elephant Gray flocking was applied to his muzzle with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.



Craft Perfect Mirror Card Ruby Red and Cobalt Blue were used for the card base. A red shiny banner was die cut from the red piece first on the Tangerine.


 Then this was layered to the Cobalt Blue and then a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped, using the stamp platform, in Nuvo Empire Blue ink and before it dried, this was heat embossed with Clear Detail.

I used the curve of the banner die to cut the sentiment out.

The sentiment and banner were added to the top right hand corner and some Double Denim Crystal drops were added above the sentiment. Both Baxters each got a googly eye using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

The little stamped Baxter was attached with Craft Perfect Foam Pads and the bigger digi version was attached with an action wobble, so that he could wave his flag!!


Here is the list of the products that I used to make my card:

 Baxter Pup Set 901
Clear Detail Embossing Powder (EP280)
Nuvo Alcohol Markers: Plum Tomato,
Ultramarine, Hay Bale
Craft Perfect Mirror Card: Ruby Red, Cobalt Glaze
La-La Land Craft Die: Flag Banner
Mounting Tape

Googly Eyes

I hope I've inspired you to pick up some of these fun products. If I have please

Sprinkle stamp in your creation (don't have any stamps? No problem - you can
pick up one of the free digis to use!) The challenge is open until June 25th and

creations!

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.

Happiness Greetings Set 886
Gold Detail (EP168), Cayenne (EP423), Bronze Rose (EP335)
Recollections Hearts and Key Chipboard Pieces
