Depresso Bunny Shaker

Good morning crafty friends! It's 

my day on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog.  I have a

fun card to share with you using the brand new 

Caffeinated Rabbit and Perfectly Blended stamp sets.

Since the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is still going on until May 10th, I

made a coffee themed card with the help of one of the funny sentiments from the 

Perfectly Blended stamp set.  Whether you are making a coffee or tea themed card,

this set has a sentiment for you!

I started by stamping the sentiment stamps and the caffeine molecule 

from the Caffeinated Rabbit stamp set all over some kraft colored

card stock in black ink. I made a shaker card frame out of teal card stock using the
Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness and

filled it with Teal Jewels, Light Gold Stars and the Espresso Sequin Mix.
The Rabbit was colored with Copic markers

and I put him inside the shaker so the sequins would lay on top of him.

I love how it looks when the sequins are partially on the image.

For the duration of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop,
The Rabbit Hole Designs will be offering

Medallion Coverplate Card

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and
I've got a new card to share with you!

Today is a special day on the blog because it is day 1 of of the New Releases

and not only is Kat releasing some fabulous new dies

but there is a GIVEAWAY as well!

The newest die in the collection being released today is called the

Medallion Coverplate!

This intricate die will quickly become a favorite of yours and I've

done some watercoloring with gold accents using this new die.

Here is the card I made and I will walk you through the process I used to make it.

Step 1:  First I took Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover Distress Ink and I "smooshed" them

down onto my Tim Holtz glass media mat and then sprayed them with water.

 Next I cut a piece of watercolor paper down just slightly larger than the

Medallion Coverplate die and laid it into the ink, moving it around to

spread the ink all over the paper.  I dried it with my heat gun and 

then pressed it down again into the ink to cover the paper.

Step 2: Once I was happy with the background pattern I did some ink splattering 

with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in gold all over the background with a 

large fan brush. It added a really nice shine to the panel!

Step 3: When the entire panel was dry I took it over to my die cut machine and 

used the Medallion Coverplate die to cut it out. 

Step 4: Because the die is so intricate I used Elmer's spray adhesive to mist 

the back of the panel so I could adhere it to my card front. This technique

works very well on dies with lots of intricate cuts.

Step 5: Now that the panel was done and adhered to the card, the final step

was to stamp the sentiment.  I stamped an older Happy Birthday stamp from 

my stash on to some vellum with Delicata Gold Ink and heat embossed it with 

WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder. Once it was dry

I cut out the sentiment with the smallest die from the Double Stitched Circles Dies.

Step 6: I added the vellum circle to the middle of the Medallion Coverplate panel 

with some liquid adhesive making sure to only get the glue behind the letters so

it wouldn't show through.

I really love how the watercoloring came out so randomly all over the coverplate and the

gold paint gives it a very elegant look!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the process I took to make this card!

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you'll check out

all of the new releases in the shop over the next few days!

Don't forget about the giveaway on the blog as well!

CAS(E) This Sketch 294 with Groot

I have not played along with CAS(E) this sketch in a while so I stopped in to take a look at this week's sketch and realized how much I missed it. I love the inspiration I get from a sketch, it's like taking the guesswork out of a card when your mojo is on vacation!

My daughter Taylor is a planner girl and she recently found this adorable clipart of 

Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy for her planner and 

I immediately thought how cute he would look on a card.

I knew he would be perfect to sit along side the sentiment of sketch #294!

Since Groot's signature tag line is "I am Groot" I thought it would be funny to 

make my sentiment "I am Cute" and let's face it he is CUTE!!!!

I used an older "Your Next Stamp" alphabet set to stamp the sentiment.

It was the perfect simple font for the card and I used Mowed Lawn 

distress ink since it matched the leaf theme.

My wood grain embossing folder was the perfect touch for the bottom panel of the 

card to go with the theme and give it some texture.

A few leaves growing out of Groot from an old Stampin' Up 

punch and my card was finished!

I really had fun making this card! Thanks for stopping by to take a peak!

Please consider leaving me a note if you stop by and give me your blog

name so I can visit you too!

Now go get crafty, I already did!

Video: Kat Scrappiness Design Team Project: Rainbow Brush Strokes

I'm so happy to be bringing you another fun project from the Kat Scrappiness design team!  Today I have a really fun and colorful card to share!  One of the new stamp sets in the shop this month is the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set.  I'm a sucker for rainbow colors, I have been since I'm a kid! 

❤️ 🌈 🌈 🌈 ❤️ 

Those bright colors just make me happy!

Here is the card I'll be sharing with you today.

I used 4 different colors of Distress Oxide inks and I stamped a repeating background in a rainbow pattern on the front panel that I die cut from the
Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Edge Rectangle Dies.

Once I stamped all the colors all the way down the card I decided to play with a little black paint splatter.  I love to add some fun paint splatter to my cards, it really adds a ton of interest to any project, not to mention it's just plain FUN!!  I'll show you a tip for adding this look to your cards with a fan brush in the video below.

After I was happy with the paint splatter on the background, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  Then just because I couldn't get enough paint splattering I decided to do it again with white paint on the black sentiment panel! What a stress reliever!  You must try this technique if you haven't already!

After I had just the right amount of white paint splatter on the sentiment, I popped the black panel up on foam tape over my rainbow background.  To finish off the card I added some Sparkling Clear Solid Confetti Sequins randomly over the card and a colorful pink heart die cut from the Concord and 9th Quilted Heart Die set.

That's all the rainbow 🌈 paint splattery 🎨  fun for today!
I hope you'll try some paint splattering for yourself!
You can see the process on YouTube or click on the video below.

Altenew January 2018 Inspiration Challenge

Today I'm joining Altenew for their January Inspiration Challenge.  The inspiration photo has some brightly colored flowers and I was in the mood to try some watercoloring today.  I used the Tulip stamp set and after I stamped the tulip images I watercolored them with watercolor pencils.  Next I stamped the stems on a piece of white cardstock and then embossed the panel with a woodgrain embossing folder.  The next step was to cut out the tulips and pop them up on the embossed panel.  I added some stickles over top of the flowers to give them some sparkle.  The sentiment from the same stamp set was then heat embossed in white on a kraft color banner I cut from the MFT fishtail flag die set.  Lately I've been loving adding twine bows to my cards so I pulled out my lovely PTI twine and made a bow.  Here is my card for today.  I'm quite happy with how it turned out. 💗💛💚💙

 Thanks for visiting my blog today, I hope you are enjoying your day, I certainly am!

SSS Wednesday Challenge

Hello everyone from chilly South Florida.  Although we are not having snow and freezing temperatures here it is VERY cold for us Floridians.  This morning when I left work it was in the high 30's to low 40's.  By the time I got home I couldn't feel my fingers.  When I finally got the feeling back I got out my cute Heffy Doodle elephants and started playing.  The SSS Wednesday challenge is to add a sentiment.  The "Elephant of Surprise" stamp set has such cute sentiments with elephant puns.  I stamped my sentient in versamark ink and heat embossed it with some Hero Arts white embossing powder.  I stamped a mirror image of the elephant so they could be facing each other.  I made the background with a cute heart stamp and I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder and then water colored it with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry distress inks.  

I'm very happy with the card and I think it really came together in the end.  

Thanks for stopping by today, stay warm and have a great day!

I already am!
