Amine Holiday Cheer

Happy Friday everyone!  It's time for the Anime New Release from Scrapper's Delights!  Here are the three new Anime images for this month "Anime Holiday Cheer, Anime Hot Choc Treat, and Anime We Have Gifts".

The best deal is the Anime VIP Deal Zodiac Bundle. In the  where you receive all three images plus the Anime VIP - Sagittarius image and lots of design elements to go along with the image.  

For my project, I used Holiday Cheer. Thanksgiving in the US was yesterday, so I created a Thanksgiving card to send to a friend.  I printed the image onto white cardstock, colored her with Copic markers, and the fussy cut her out.

To create this fun fold card, I used several coordinating dies from The Stamp Doctor (Center Pop Out Card Die, Center Pop Out Card Layers #2).  I die cut the card base from a soft gold cardstock and then added my layers using some old patterned papers.  

The sentiment is an older Die-Versions die (Give Thanks) that I die cut twice - once from white cardstock and once from the patterned paper.  I saved the white cardstock die cut for another time and inserted the negative pieces into the patterned paper die cut.  This helps the sentiment to stand out.

Once all the pieces were adhered, I added my Holiday Cheer image to the right panel.  (Tip: make sure the card will still fold once you've placed the image but before you permanently adhere it.)

Be sure to check out what the rest of the team created on the Scrapper's Delights Inspiration Blog and join us on our Facebook Fan Page.  We'd love it if you played along in our Blog Challenge each month.  You can find out details about our Progressive Freebie Challenge on our FB page for even more chances to win free images.

Until next time.....

Bunny N Bear

I have a sweet card to share with you featuring The Stamp Doctor dies.  I used the Bear/Bunny Paper Piecing Dies Combo set.  This includes the Bear (main die), the Bunny Add-On, and the Bear/Bunny Bow Dies.  You can get these individually or as a combo and I highly recommend the combo.  You could also rearrange the bunny ears and make him look like a puppy dog.  As you can see, this is a pretty versatile set!  Lovely Lattice Dies were also used to complete my card.

For the bunny, I die cut patterned paper and added flock to his ears and nose and glitter to his toes and hearts on his feet.  The snout is pop dotted and so are the tops of his big feet.  The set comes with feet (see the bear), but I thought the large part of his ears looked like big floppy feet, so that's what I went with and just added the toes.

While I was die-cutting, I noticed that the negative space between the large floppy ears looked like a carrot, so I cut it off to include some greenery and colored it with Copic markers.  I added a small slit in one of his paws and slid the carrot through.  I fussy cut some big buck teeth so he could eat his carrot! 😁



The bear was die cut using double sided adhesive that was backed with white cardstock.  Once I had all the pieces, I began to add different colors of flock to each piece.  I added glitter to his toes, his bow, and the hearts.  His snout and feet are also pop dotted for added dimension.  He's so soft and fuzzy, just like a real teddy bear!

The lattice and double Hello (shadow and main word) come from the Lovely Lattice Dies set.  I die cut the lattice twice to add behind each of my images and added Copic markers to the main part of "Hello" to give it an ombre look.  I added a few sequins and a double bow to finish off my card.

Until next time 😀.......

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 😀.

Enjoy

Hey everyone, today I'd like to share my first post using The Stamp Doctor dies and stamps.  I created this fun card using the Coffee Cup Cake Stamp set and the coordinating Coffee Cup Cake Die set.

To start off, I stamped my cupcake, the cupcake topper, the cherry, and coffee mug with London Fog Memento ink as I wanted a "no lines" image.  After die cutting each image out, I colored them with Copic markers.

After the cupcake topper was colored, I stamped the little "sprinkles" on top using Memento ink (Rich Cocoa) and VersaMark.  I added Rose embossing powder to the VersaMark and heat set to create the pink sprinkles.   Pop dots were added to the back and adhered to the cupcake base.  The cherry was also pop dotted for even more dimension. 

Another cherry was added to the center of the mug.  Glossy Accents was then applied to the mug to give it more of a ceramic look. 

I die cut the large spoon from the Coffee Cup Cake Die set and heat set it with Silver Detail embossing powder.  To insert the spoon into the liquid, I cut a small slit with my exacto knife.

The mat was created by stamping the word Enjoy and the cherry randomly over a piece of white cardstock.  Copics give the cherries color and were used to give more color to the background.

A deckle paper trimmer was used to cut the yellow mat.  Then it was dry embossed using a Tonic Studios embossing folder (Simple Stripes).  Then all the layers were adhered together.

In addition to creating the above card, I also die cut and embellished the Card Easel Die. After die cutting from heavy cardstock, I dry embossed it with a Sue Wilson Designs embossing folder (Rambling Blossoms) and then added Nuvo Embellishment Mousse (Burnished Bronze) to bring out the de-bossed areas.  There are so many different ways to make this simple die cut unique to what you want.  I see lots of possibilities 😀!

Here is what the Card Easel die looks like showcasing a card:
