Shadow Box Card Tutorial

We kicked off our October challenge yesterday and my card was a super simple shadow box card. So I'm back today to show you the details of that.


  I used a 12” x 4” piece of paper and scored it at 5.5” and 6.5” inches. Here’s what the dimensions of the card look like. 








I adhered my pattern paper prior to cutting the frame out from my card. This saved me from having to measure and line up the paper after.
Even though this was super easy, it was fun to do something out of the ordinary for me. So how about it? Go try something new today!
Thanks for taking a look!
Supplies: Nellie Snellie stamps, Copic Markers, Whimsy Stamp corner Die, Prima flower, misc button, Tim Holtz tiny attacher, clear string, beads

Art Impressions Party Girls

Hi All,

I had sooooo much fun doing today's card!  It was one of those that felt easy.....Believe me, some of these cards just don't want to flow!  I used the super cute Art Impressions Party Girls!  The set comes with some great sentiments that are very versatile and can be used with soooo many different images!  I also used Memento Black to stamp my image and copics to color.  I had some scraps of some fun paper in my stash that I used with some larger 10mm brads!

Today I have a High Hopes stamp called Sweet Dreams available from One Crazy Stamper. I stamped my image with Memento Cocoa ink unto Xpress It Blending Card. I colored it with the copics below. 



I cut out the focal image with a Spellbinders die and layered it unto green cardstock. I added a twill ribbon from my stash.
DP is Simple Stories Harvest Lane.

YNS – Flourish in Life, Hero Arts, Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly

Hi all, Madge here for another Wonderful Wednesday at OCS.  Have you noticed that Lora has a SALE.  Oh my,  so many bargains!P1010680 copy

Today I’ve chosen a Hero Arts “Floral Wreath” Stamp and embossing die set, which I notice that Lora does not have in stock right now.  I stamped the image in Champagne VersaMark, embossed it with white EP, and fussy cut the center. I used a Stylus Blending Tool to blend Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Dried Marigold, Faded Jeans, Rusty Hinge and Shabby Shutter) onto the White cardstock, rubbing off the excess with a kleenex. I stamped the YNS sentiment stamp from Humming-Bird Beauty in black on pale blue cardstock and pop dotted the embossed image over top.  The lace rectangle is a MS round the border punch and the Butterfly is a Memory Box die cut called Vivienne.

Hope you will enter the OCS challenge for the month of October which is Kraft, Black and Red. 

Remember, Stamp up a Storm, Ink up a Wish and send it on to someone to brighten their day!

Searching........

It's the last Tuesday of the month - ALREADY!!!! Where did the month go?!!
Since it's the last Tuesday it must be time to do the Terrific Tuesday post for One Crazy Stamper and for today's card I've combined three High Hopes Stamps to make one cute card.
This is "Little Sleuth" and "Watson", which were both stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and then colored with Copics. I then fussy cut the images, and popped them up on the card front that was embossed with the Crafts Too Bone and Pawprint Folder, and lightly inked with Rich Cocoa Memento ink. The faux stitches were done with a red Copic Sketch marker, and the Tracking sentiment is also from High Hopes ( the inside of the card has the remaining sentiment - Your Birthday ).

Hang In There!


Happy Monday!  I have a happy post for you today featuring this adorable image from High Hopes called Frog in Boxers.

I colored the image with Copic markers:  BG75, BG72, BG70, R89, R29, RV10, YG25, YG17, E44, E43.
I paired the image up with papers from Simple Stories' Summer Fresh collection.  What a cheerful combo for a thinking of you/hang in there sort of greeting!

Be sure you pop by the store to see what Lora has on sale this week!
