Cloudy Day

For my post today I've used Sketchie from Saturated Canary, but I've slightly altered the image by cutting off a portion of her hair to leave her with just a bun. The wings and shoes are glittered with glitter ritz and her clothing was jazzed up with a glitter pen. For the clouds I used a Whimsy die then distressed the edges of them with some white ink. 

Be sure to check back in a few days for our new challenge, but for now there is still a bit of time to enter our "Summer" challenge.

Supplies Used

Sketchie(Saturated Canary), Cloud Die(Whimsy),  

Micro Fine Black(Glitter Ritz), Copic Markers

I have a bright and colourful card to share today that I made using an image once again this week from Saturated Canary.  I enjoy colouring up these images.

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Blending Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Saturated Canary Krafty Kate, Copic Markers, Echo Park Here & Now 6" x 6" Pad, Prima Chalk Edger Farmer Jean, Glossy Accents, Gold Stickles

A Rose By Any Other Name

I have always adored the images that Sylvia Zet draws, and now her gorgeous images are available as rubber stamps through Whimsy Stamps as Wee Stamps. Her latest release did not disappoint - this lovely "Rosetta" is a delight to color!!!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then used light pastel colors to match the gorgeous designer paper from Authentique's Cherish collection. The image was cut with one of the newest Spellbinders dies - the Decorative Labels Twenty-Two. The edges of all of the designer papers are distressed, and small pearls adorn the corner of the card, which were made with a Lilac Pearl Pen. The antique lace is from my stash.

 

You still have a couple of days left to enter the challenge here at One Crazy Stamper to win an awesome stamp prize package - the challenge theme this month is Summer Fun!!

Being Fabulous

Isn't this image just as cute as can be? I think so and had so much fun colouring her. As you can see I used a lot of neutral tones to allow the pink tutu to really pop on this card. I dug around in my stash for some neutral tone embellishments and found a feather, doilie, twine and a wooden clothes pin. I also used a few dies and some washi tape, I hope you like it!

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.

 

*My outside cover using the wonderful sentiment from DoCrafts Wellington 8x8 Stamp Set....

*This is the back cover ofmy book that I decided to put a "Handmade By" sentiment to finish off the project.  Tie up the book with a pretty little bow and voila!...



*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....
