He Is Risen Eclipse Card and Video

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends! 

Today is my day on the Kat Scrappiness blog and 

 I have a fun Eclipse card to share with you and a video 

to go along with it to show you exactly how I made it!

I have 2 guests in my video today.....

My cat Poppers who refused to get off of my desk for the video

so I let her stay, excuse the cat hair....

My second guest is my daughter Taylor who took over for my 

voiceover about half way through the video.

I was frustrated and tired and she knows so much about 

card making she agreed to help me out!

She has a great sense of humor, I love her take on card making!

Now on to the card.

This card measures 4" x 4" and features the eclipse technique.

I started out with a panel cut from the Square Zig Zag dies to stamp on.

I stamped those lovely pastel brush strokes from the 

Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and then I used the He Is Risen

trio of crosses die to cut out a focal point.

I also cut that beautiful trio of crosses out 4 more times in 

aqua card stock to layer under the stamped die cut.

Once I layered the "built up" trio of crosses back on to the panel,

they really stood in a very subtle way giving that classic

eclipse look to the card.

Sparkling Clear Jewels gave a nice finishing touch to this card!

It's much easier to understand in a video so you can check out

my video here or on YouTube.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and I hope it inspires you 

to make your own eclipse card!  Also please consider joining the monthly

Happy Father's Day

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans!  It's my turn today over on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I'm sharing an eclipse card that I made for Father's Day.  I used one of the new dies in the shop this month called Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies.  I also used the Large Alpha dies to form the focal point of the card after I made a background with the Dad's Tools stamp set. 

I started by die cutting a white panel from one of the stitched rectangle dies and stamping the hammer and nails randomly all over in every direction.  I made sure to stamp some of the hammers and nails off of the card for a more random look.  Once the background was done I die cut the letter D A D out of the panel.  The next step was to die cut the same letters out of black paper two more times.  I adhered the black letters to each other and made the top layer the letter that was cut from the stamped background.  The last step was to cut the letters out one more time from double sided foam tape to pop the letters up on the card.  I adhered the stamped panel to a black card base and fit the thick letters back in like a jigsaw puzzle.  Because they had black layers under them they appear to have a shadow under them making them stand out.  I finished the card with a sentiment from Dad's Tools heat embossed with white on to a stitched flag and popped it up on foam tape.

I love to decorate the inside of my cards with a coordinating stamp and sentiment so I stamped Mr. Fix It on the inside with a hammer and a few nails to finish the card off.

The eclipse card is such a fun technique and you can check out YouTube for a great video showing this technique by my other Kat Scrappiness team member Tina Dornbaum.
