Party Animals

Welcome OCS Fans!

Sharing a fun card featuring: High Hopes - Wild Party and sentiment High Hopes - Birthday Party Animals! I just love these little characters.

I first stamped the sentiment using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Dusty Concord and then to emboss it I used some Versamark and Ranger - Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Using my MISTI, made this very easy to do. I decided to add a little bit of bling as well, so I die cut a few small balloons and added them on each side of the sentiment. I also decided to give them some fuzzy pop-poms on their hats to finish them off. Enjoy!

Stamps: High Hopes - Birthday Party Animals; High Hopes - Wild Party

Background Paper: Forever In Time Perfect Prints - Party Monsters (6x6 in.)

Merry Christmas, Eh?

Hello there.  Thank you for dropping in today to see what I have created for you.  It is, of course, following our challenge theme of "CHRISTMAS" this month, a Christmas card using an image and sentiment from High Hopes Stamps.  I made it for an American friend who believes that all we say in Canada is "EH?"  While I know I may have said it a time or two, it is not something I say continually or is it something I recall hearing all the time.  But it is a cute stereotype and works well here.

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, High Hopes "Penguin Friends", High Hopes "Penguin Greeting", Copic Markers, Glossy Accents, Stickles ~ Xmas Red and Crystal

You still have time to enter the November Christmas challenge for your chance to win 2 stamps from Wild Rose Studio.  I have enjoyed seeing what everyone has made so far.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Golfer Glen

Hello.  Glad you could make it today for another "Wonderful Wednesday".  The style of card I have today is one that I, along with many card makers, struggle with.  It is a masculine card.  I will gladly use all shades of pink, purple, flowers, lots of bling and pretty flourishes to decorate a card.  But what happens when not one of those things can be used?  I guess you could say my "go to" things for masculine cards are metal, buttons and twine.  All three have been used on this birthday card which follows our theme for the month of August.

Supplies Used: Copic Xpress It Blending Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, High Hopes "Golfer Glen", Copic Markers, Bazzill Basics Textured Card Stock, High Hopes "Golf Saying", Whimsy Stamps "Birthday Greetings", Tim Holtz Tea dye Distress Ink

And check the website for the classes and crop.

Until next time, keep crafting.

Red Hat Girl

Good Morning and welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday.  It is my turn to once again post here today and I have a card using the new line of stamps called My Besties.  I was inspired to make this card because the hat reminded me of the red hat society.  I did a little research and this is what I found out about the beginning of the society :

The founder of the Society is artist Sue Ellen Cooper, who lives in Fullerton, Orange County, California. In 1997, Cooper gave a friend a 55th birthday gift consisting of a red bowler purchased at an antique store along with a copy of Jenny Joseph's poem "Warning". The opening lines of the poem read:

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me."

Originally the society was open for only women over 50, but now is open to all women.  Sounds like a fun time with girlfriends :)

Here is the card:

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Blending Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, My Besties by Sherri Baldy "Downtown Abigail", Copic Markers, Memory Box Riviera Corner Die, Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestones, Silver Stickles, Glossy Accents

A close up of the image:

Copics Used:  Skin ~ E00, E02, E11, R20; Hair ~ E55, Y21, YR23; Clothes ~ 0, BV02, BV04, BV08, R32, R35, R37, W1, W3; Hat ~ BV02, BV04, BV08, G29,R32, R35, R37; Shoes ~ E40, E42, E43

Thanks for dropping in today.  Don't forget our challenge this month to use the colour kraft.  See the above pinned post for details.

Carousel Card Tutorial

Hello and happy Friday!  Today is a special post for me as I am going to share with you a tutorial on how to create a "Carousel" Card.  What I love most about this type of card is that it is a gift all on it's own for whom ever you create it for, I guess you could say it is a mini book card.  When I was creating this card I used my favorite colour, adorable images and sweet sentiments.

I am going to forewarn you that this post is going to be VERY picture heavy.  I am not a videographer so I decided to make my tutorial using photos - I sure hope you enjoy it and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts after you have had a chance to check it out!

What made me want to make this card is this amazing Marianne Design Card Carousel Die that Lora sells in the One Crazy Stamper store, here is a photo for you to see what the die looks like...

 This great Craftable Carousel die will give you the opportunity to make unbelievable cards. You can make a full circle (which is what I have to show to you today using the largest of the dies), half a circle, or just a quarter. The possibilities are endless!

Here are photos of the tools and supplies that I used to create this amazing card....

 

Supplies Used: * Whimsy Wee Stamps - Rosetta, Flower Fairies & Ruby  * DoCrafts Wellington 8x8 Stamp Set  * Your Next Stamp, Watnot Sentiments  * Stampabilities True Friends Sentiment  * High Hopes Thinking of You Sentiment  *  Menento Inks - Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa & Rhubarb Stalk  *  Copic Xpress It Paper  *  Copic Sketch Markers (colours used listed below)  *  Scor-Pal 1/8 Scor Tape  *  Scor-Pal  *  Bazzill Basics Simply Smooth White Cardstock (for card Base & carousel)  * Squishy Scissors (for intricate cutting)  *  Quickie Glue Pen  *  Fairy Dust Glitter, Sugar Shimmer  *  Glue Dots  *  Marianne Design Card Carousel Die * Spellbinder Die - Blossoms Three  *  My Favorite Things Die-Namics - Flag Stax, Flag Stax Layers & Flower Trio  *  Sheer Ribbon * Pink Shimmer Card Stock  *  Patterened Papers:  MME 6x6 Pads - Love Me & Indie Chic Safron + Lost & Found 6x6 - Blush  *  Various Sentiments to match your theme  *  ATG  *

Directions:

* To start off you will need to cut out your card base, cut 2 @ 10-1/4 x 6 + 1 @ 6 x 5-1/8

* You will need to choose your paper(s) and cut 10 @ 5-3/8 x 4-3/8.  I chose 5 different co-ordinating papers and cut 2 of each.

*Choose 4 images and 4 sentiments + a cover sentiment or decorative- I also chose to put a "handmade by" stamp on the back of the card.  The reason I did not put an image on the front and chose a sentiment instead is because when the carousel is opened the front and back of the card is not seen.  Also I chose a Spellbinder set that co-ordinated with my images and also had a few different size selections that I used throughout the whole card for a uniform look (I am a little anal that way if you have not noticed)

 

*Next you will need to cut out 4 pieces of the Marianne Design Card Carousel Die - see picture below....



*Using your ScorPal, score where I have noted on the bottom right die cut in the picture above.

 

* Next I put my card 2 large pieces of the cardbase together on top of each other and the smaller piece in the center of the "book", then  I placed all my patterened papers on the the card bases in the order that I wanted them to be seen on the carousel.  Be sure to attach a piece of ribbon on the underside ofthe front andback pieces of paper so as to create the tie to close the card.

 

*Once you have on your papers, add your "flower"anchors where two pages of the book join to keep each page attached to each other (this step can been seen on each page showing an image below).

 

*Next you will want to add your sentiments and coloured images to all the remaining pages.  Dont forget to add a "Handmade by" on the back cover!

 

*Once you have all your indsides completed, add adhesive to the small scored tabs of the carousel die pieces and attach to each section of the insideofthe book.

 

Below I have pictures to show you of each completed step of my book!  Copic colours used on all images will be listed at the end of this post for your refference if interested.

*Here is a view of the book before it is tied into the carousel....

*Here is what the full carousel card looks like when opened and tied on the side - pictures sure do not do this justice so hope you get the jist of it....

Copic Colours used on all Images:  *Skin-E11, E00, E000 *Dark Hair-E49, 59, E25, E50  *Lighter Hair-E29, E27, E23, E50  *Pinks-R56, R85, R83, R81, RV10, RV000  *Greens-G24, G21, G20  *Other-E40, E23

 

Well, that is my tutorial I prepared for you, I hope that you will give it a try as I am sure you will see a few more of these on my blog in the future because they are soooo much fun to make!  I would sure love to hear your thoughts on this fun card if you have time =)
