Player Photo Day

Happy Thursday OCS Fans! It is the last Thursday in May already but there is still time for you to play along in this month's challenge! 

My inspiration post for today is made with "Dribble Master" from the Spring Collection 2016 from High Hopes. Today we find our dribble master getting her player photo taken and she's the MVP for the team this year! I will add the sentiment inside when I have an occasion to use my card.

Close Up

I started by cutting the matching svg file for the stamp with my Cricut, stamped it using my Misti and coloured her with SN alcohol markers. A film strip and polaroid die cut were added to from my background. The patterned paper is from the 6x6 Life Documented pad from Simple Stories. I added some blue brackets from a Quickutz label and the MVP sticker is from Paper House. The edges are inked with Studio G ink. I added some sparkle with the Give Thanks for Sparkle gumdrops from Your Next Stamp.

Coffee Divas!

Good Morning!

 This adorable stamp called "Coffee Talk" shows the friendship being made over a great cuppa! For me I love my "coffee talks" with my Besties! Nothing beats it that's for sure!

I got out my Silhouette and used it to cut out this cute cup file and the matching "Coffee Talk" SVG to use for stamping my image and the background mat.

I used the "Girl Talk" sentiment on the inside! It's also from the High Hopes Spring 2016 New Release.

I chose paper from the Photoplay Party Boy 6x6 collection. I thought the stars were perfect for this up and coming Rock Star! I also added the sentiments "Rock On" and "Don't Stop the Music"!

Sympathy Card & Tutorial!

Hi OCS Fans!

Today I wanted to share with you a card and tutorial using the "With Deepest Sympathy" stamp from the new Spring 2016 Release from High Hopes Stamps. 

I created this card with Distress inks and water. Here we go with the tutorial.......

First thing I did was gather all the supplies that I needed! 

With this new release you are able to purchase matching SVG files for your cutting machine. Using my Silhouette Cameo I cut out the outline to use with my stamp.

You can either cut out the image to match the stamp exactly or cut the file that gives you a nice border around your stamp. I chose to use the SVG file that gives you a border.

The MISTI is the perfect tool to stamp your image onto the cut SVG file. Don't throw out the cut outline piece of your paper. It will help you greatly in the next few steps.

To get started I stamped the image onto the grid paper that comes with the MISTI

Now you use that piece of outline paper that I said not to get rid of. Line it up with your stamped image making sure that you have an even border around the image. Secure it with the magnets that come with your MISTI.

Now put in the "puzzle piece", ink up your stamp with Onyx Black Versafine ink and stamp the image again.

See how perfect your stamped image comes out with a nice white border around the edge?!

I carefully removed the image using my tweezers making sure not to smudge any of the ink. Using black embossing powder I coated the stamped image and then shook off the excess powder.

Use your heat tool and heat the powder to emboss your image.

 If you want to make a few of the same card don't remove the cutout paper or the stamp on the "door" of the MISTI. Just repeat the steps as many times as you want for identical stamped images. 

The  next step is to colour your image.

I inked the Distress ink pads onto my clear acrylic block that I am using as my palette.

I am using a brush that has water inside of it. Using the Distress ink with water from the brush I coloured my image. The embossed lines help to keep the ink and water from spreading. If your brush becomes too wet just wipe it off on a paper towel.

The finished coloured image!

Using my Silhouette again, I cut another SVG file that will layer behind the stamped image as a really pretty mat. Each SVG file you purchase comes with 2 sizes, so it's perfect for setting off your image!

I decided to make a 4.25" x 5.5" card. I cut my papers at 4.25"x 5.5", 4 1/8"x 5 3/8" and 4"x 5.25". I glued all my layers together and then adhered a piece of yellow ribbon to the left side of the papers. Then I glued the papers to the card base, popped up the image with foam squares and attached a yellow bow.

Distress Ink Colours:

Dusty Concord

Scattered Straw

Mowed Lawn

And once again the finished card!

Happy Crafting!
