Have the Time of Your Life

Hey everyone,  I am so excited for today's project because I have some news to share with you.  I am the new Team Leader for the Anime New Releases by Scrapper's Delights and today's project features one of the new anime releases called Anime Rock and Roll.   

You can get the images individually, but the best way is to get the Anime VIP Deal.  Not only do you receive all three of new releases, you also receive the Zodiac Kit for free!  This month's Zodiac sign is Aries.

There are two new releases each month, the Chibi New Release is the first Friday of the month and the Anime New Release is the last Friday of every month.  You can also get lots of inspiration and check out what the rest of the team created on the Scrapper's Delights Inspiration Blog.

I had so much fun creating this card and had just purchased the perfect dies and stencils to go with this image (quite by happenstance).  This cute image was colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut out so the record would show through in the background.  The first layer was created using white cardstock, a stencil from Sugar Pea Designs (Concentric Circles) and VersaFine Claire ink (Summertime). This was then layered on top of another piece of white cardstock and finally onto the orange card base.  The card base was die cut using a Sue Wilson Designs die (Shadow Box Collection-Stitched Square Peg Board).

Next I die cut the record from a My Favorite Things (For the Record) die and wrote the sentiment on the record label.  This sentiment does come with the image, but used it a bit differently.  I also die cut some music notes out of black mirror cardstock from an older die by Die-Versions (Harmony).

I added a bit of confetti and pop dotted the girl's pony tail for added depth.

And finally, here is a sneak peek of the April 5 release.

I'll be back with another fun Scrapper's Delights Zodiac image to share with you on April 5. (Here's a hint: the next Zodiac sign will be Taurus. 😀)

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Believe in yourself {Scrapy Land #110}

Hey everyone, it's the third Wednesday of the month....and you know what that means 😉.  A brand new Scrapy Land Challenge begins today!  The theme is always anything goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

The following dies were used for this card:
Sue Wilson Designs: Noble Dies-Double Pierced Rectangles, Set B
Sue Wilson Designs: Triple Layer Collection - Tina
Elizabeth Craft Designs: Lacy Poppies (any of these poppies will work too)
Tonic Studios: Believe in yourself (came from subscription kit, but any of sentiment die would work)

I had so much fun using the Triple Layer die that I made a whole bunch of different color combinations.

For today's project, I decided to go with pink, chocolate, black, and a touch of light blue.  (I saw this color combo on a purse and loved the way it looked).

The "believe" and the stamp/die "in yourself" are from the Tonic Studios subscription kit #19, but any type of sentiment will work.  I used VersaFine Clair (Charming Pink) for the stamped sentiment and I added the same ink to white cardstock to die cut the pink part of the believe.  I also heat embossed it with clear embossing powder before adhering it to the shadow base.

The poppy is one of three dies from the Elizabeth Craft Designs set and they are quite large.  This is the largest of the three dies and it is a little over 2 1/2" wide and a bit over 5" long.  I die cut this from white cardstock, colored it with Copic markers, and added some Prills (Sweet Shop) to the center.

As a finishing touch, I added a piece of tulle that I also colored pink with the Charming Pink ink.

Now it's your turn to join us.  You have until March 31 to upload your project to the Scrapy Land Challenge.  We love seeing everything from CAS, layouts, mixed media, planners, and anything else you can think of as long as it includes at least one brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

Hey Y'all Mixed Media Tag {Scrapy Land #109}

Hey Y'all, it's the first Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for a brand new Scrapy Land Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

Today I'd like to share a mixed media tag/card and the following dies were used to create this tag:

Elizabeth Craft Designs: Planner Patterns
Sue Wilson Designs: Floral Collection-Layered Loops
Frantic Stamper: Hey Y'all

In addition to the dies, lots of embossing powders, washi tape, vintage book pages, Nuvo Embellishment Mousse, Nuvo Mica Mists, and Distress Inks were added to the tag.  I just kept adding and adding until I was happy with the results.  I even added a few of the negative pieces from the Planner Patterns die cut.  That's the beauty of a mixed media project - you can just keep adding various mediums to create something uniquely yours!

Once everything was adhered to the tag, I added the completed tag to the card base.  Now I have plenty of room on the inside to add my message to the recipient.

Scrapy Land is also having a new Design Team Call.  You can find out all the details here.  Looking forward to seeing all your amazing projects.  Best of luck to everyone who is interested in joining our team!


Now it's your turn😀.  You have until March 17th to play along with the Scrapy Land Challenge #109 and have a chance to win one of two $10 gift certificates from Scrapy Land.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Easter Card in a Box

I have a fun Easter project to share with you today.  All the dies are from The Stamp Doctor and this was so fun to create.

I used the following dies for this project:

~ Card In A Box #2 die set (follow the assembly directions that are included in the dies)
~ Egg Carton CIB (card in a box) Add-On
~ Large Chocolate Bunny dies

After putting together the Card In A Box #2 using Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Patterned papers, I set about getting all my Easter eggs ready.

Sometime back, I published a post outlining where I experimented with photo paper and Nuvo Shimmer Powders and I made a bunch of samples.  I wanted the Easter eggs to be on the glossy side, but not too glossy. I had several pieces from my experiment that would be perfect for colored Easter eggs. 

I die cut quite a few eggs, grass edges, and flowers, all from Egg Carton CIB Add-On set.  The grass was die cut from white scraps of cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The flowers were die cut from patterned scraps. (Love being able to use smaller scraps up.)

The Large Chocolate Bunny was die cut from a piece of double sided adhesive adhered to a scrap of white cardstock.  After exposing the adhesive on the front of the bunny, I covered him with Dark Chocolate Flock.  Then I added Nuvo Crystal Drops (Buttermilk, Sweet Lilac) for his eye. A few Nuvo sequins and glitter around the front panel (Tonic Studios Pure Sheen Glitter - Turquoise) add the finishing touches.

Here are what the side panels look like:

I love using the Card In A Box #2 die set because it's so versatile and can be used for any theme.  I envision using it for lots more projects in the future 😀.
