Birds of a Feather

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by today. I'd like to share with you my last August Reveal card, using the adorable little Feathered Friends Stamp Set 909.

Going along with the wreath image from the stamp set, I decided to make a telescopic card, combining the Spellbinders Wreath die set. First, I backed some designer paper with Super Adhesive Sheet. I then ran the two wreath dies through the Tangerine.

The wreaths were each centered on to black cardstock circles, cut from the Spellbinders Grand Circles die set, using the Tangerine. The wreath image was stamped on white cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark Ink, using the Stamp Platform and then being heat embossed with Black Detail.

Using the Stamp Platform I positioned the sentiment in the middle of the stamped wreath again in Black Detail. The wreath was then colored with Nuvo Aquaflow pens. I made a little palette using an acrylic block and applied the color with a Nuvo Water Brush.

This front panel was then die cut with one of the smaller circle dies with the Tangerine and layered on to the smallest of the black circles (attached with a black brad) with a little piece of white ribbon as a pull at the top. Nuvo Crystal drops Morning Dew were applied to the flowers for dimension.

The middle panel was created by stamping the three birds in Hybrid Black Shadow on top of the scrap piece of the designer paper from one of the wreath cuts and then die cutting the one bird with the circle die.

This was then covered with Nuvo Clear Mark ink and then heat embossed with Clear Detail. This was then layered on to the middle-sized circle.

For the base panel, white cardstock was cut using the inside of the larger wreath die. The birds and the second sentiment were then positioned on the area using the Stamp Platform.

The birds were watercolored using the same palette as before and inserted inside the wreath on the base circle. Nuvo Glitter Drops Sherbert Shimmer were added to the bottom.

The card was assembled bottom to top. Here is the base:

The three panels were then attached with black brads, so that they turn round to close over each other. Here is the entire project closed:

Tip Toe through the Tulips

Hi there,

Welcome to the new Sparkle N Sprinkle April Reveal Sets. Since it is the fifth of the month, I am up first with the new sets. Remember to leave a comment here on my blog and another over on the SNS blog to be eligible for the $20 gift certificate to the Shoppe! Today I would like to share what I did with the Tulip Square Set 894.

To begin with I placed the Tulip stamp in the Stamp Platform and wiped the black cardstock with the Anti-Static bag before stamping the image with Nuvo Clear Mark ink. Using the Anti-Static bag is especially important when using black cardstock and heat setting with white detail embossing powder.

Next I stamped the sentiment with the Clear Mark ink on white cardstock and this time I heat embossed with Raspberry Tart. I cut out the sentiment using the Sizzix Dotted Square with the Tangerine Machine.

I went on to color the Tulip Square with embellishment Mousses, Pink Flambe for the flowers and Spring Green for the leaves and stems and a little Cornflower Blue was added in places too. The mousse was applied using the Nuvo Water Brush. It gives a lovely chalky appearance and the white embossing powder resists the mousse.

Next using the Tangerine again, I cut out the stem from Tonic die Woodland Aster from black cardstock.

The Spring Green mousse was applied to the stem with a Jumbo Dauber.

I stamped the single flower from the Tulip Square set three times on black cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark and then heat embossed with the Raspberry Tart. These were then fussy cut using the 5" Mini Scissors from Tonic.

I ended up adding some of the Pink Flambe mousse to those flowers too, before I put the card together. The stem was stuck down the left side with Tear-ific Tape and Mounting Tape behind the flowers. The front panel was then layered to bright pink cardstock before a black card base.

The sentiment was edged with RV04 Copic marker before being attached to the middle of the Tulip Square with an Action Wobble and that finished my card for the day. I liked the way the dotted square die coordinated with the dots in the image.

Below you will find all the products I used to create this card, most of which can be found in the Sparkle N Sprinkle store.

Bearded Iris Mother's Day!

Hi there,

We are on our second snow day today, after an accumulation of a foot of heavy snow, with many downed limbs, including on top of a part of the fence. So I took my extra time, from my cancelled regular activities to make my Mum's Mother's Day card. While I was lying in bed yesterday morning not needing to get up I was thinking ... Easter is very early this year, that means so is UK Mother's Day and on checking ... sure enough it is this Sunday!! Yikes! I hope it will get there in time.

I used the new Bearded Iris Set 889 from Sparkle N Sprinkle, stamping the image in Safari Green Hybrid Ink using the Stamp Platform, as I wanted to stamp over it again after coloring it in.

I heat embossed the image with Sparkle and it gave a raised, glittery outline.

I decided to color the image with my new Hybrid Ink Diamonds. These are the new hybrid mini ink pads by Nuvo. There are four sets and I used the Rose Garden Collection which includes Pink Sherbert, Spanish Sangria and Dried Oregano. I dabbed the ink pads onto an acrylic block and used my Nuvo Water Brush to pick up the ink.

I then put the finished colored image back in the Stamp Platform and inked the stamp with Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Sparkle again.

I then made my base for my easel card. Only cutting the bottom flap with the outline die from the Tonic Loopy Lace Ovals Die. I put a double piece of scrap card at the fold of my easel, so that when I ran the cardstock and die through my Tangerine, the machine's tension would let me know when I had gone far enough. Hope the picture below explains what I did?

A piece of Super Adhesive Sheet was attached to a piece of cardstock and the outline and biggest frame die were run through the Tangerine.

Then only the outline die was run through the Tangerine with a piece of white cardstock layered with Super Adhesive Sheet. The protective backing was removed and then the Loopy Lace Frame was layered to the sticky surface. Gecko Velvet Glitter was applied to the sticky areas of the frame. Then the protective backing was removed from the frame and Margarita was applied to the main piece.

The image was die cut with the Sizzix Dotted Ovals Die and was mounted to the glittery frame with
Mounting Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the MSE Mother's Day Innies and Outies in the Hybrid Green ink,
using the Stamp Platform again, as it was a detailed image and I wanted to stamp it twice.

The Happy Mother's Day from the same MSE set was stamped in the Safari Green ink on white
cardstock and was die cut with a smaller Dotted Oval die. This was attached to the bottom of the
card base with mounting tape, so it would act as a stop for the easel card.

I added Nuvo Bottle Green Crystal Drops to the sentiment and some to the Iris image.

Hope you've enjoyed my share today? Below you will find a list of products that I used in making this card, which can be purchased over on the Sparkle N Sprinkle website.

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.
