More Photo Paper & Distress Inks

Tuesday, April 15, 2014


Another card using Photo Paper as the base for the Birthday die cut. I used one of the rectangle dies from Blueprints #1 again to cut the opening so the Text Block could set on top.

 

I can't wait to add more of the Text Block dies to my collection.

You're my Sunshine

Thursday, April 10, 2014

on a cloudy day! Are you having any of the spring storms in your area? We have already had a doozy of one. Hail and high winds. The hail a little north of us was between golf ball and softball size that was breaking the windshields of cars.
 

I was playing around with my Precious Remembrance stamps to create this card. I stamped the clouds with the Border Tape #1 set. My raindrops are from Mom & Dad in two different ink colors.




 Finally the sentiment is from Thanks. A little glossy accents on the heart added some shine.

Stitches - MIM #159 No Sew Quilted Cards

Tuesday, April 8, 2014


Playing along with the latest PTI  challenge.  The MIM #150 challenge is impressing a quilted patterned onto a card element with a cover plate or impression plate.

I used the Building Block dies to create a loosely based log cabin pattern. I used the Sunshine Impression plate for my quilting lines. I think you can see the circles best in the lower right hand corner of the pictures. 


I fussy cut the scissors and then dipped them in silver embossing powder. I used distress ink on the bottom layer of the tag and stamped the sentiment on vellum.

Distress Inks on Photo Paper

Monday, April 7, 2014

 

What happens when you use distress inks on photo paper? HIGH GLOSS HAPPINESS!!The last few times that I ordered printer ink, photo paper was included as a bonus. I was going to give it away but then thought surely I could use it somehow for cards.

Here is a picture of the beautiful colors. 


 The 4x6 sheets of photo paper are perfect for die cutting PTI's Text Block and Phrase Play dies. You can fit 2 on the sheet.


I attached a sheet of acetate to the back of the die cut to add stability and shine. I also used white acrylic paint on the back of the acetate on the yellow card. 

For the pink card, I used MFT Blueprints #1. One of the rectangle dies is the perfect size to create an opening for the Text Block frame to be placed on top.


 You will be seeing more cards made with this paper as it is fun to play with. Do you LOVE the shine?

You are my reason to smile

Wednesday, April 2, 2014

I love a bright and happy card. I did use watercolors again on the frame. 
It's a busy background paper but I think the phrase play die can handle it. I did leave the negative parts of the "Y" and "O" in. It was too much to have the stripe showing through these areas. 


I put the phrase play card at a little angle and added the ribbon.
