Just To Say {Scrapy Land #105}

🎉  Happy New Year  🎉

Can you believe it's 2019?!? It's also time for the first new Scrapy Land Challenge of the year. The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  Here is a list of all your choices.

Today's card uses two dies - Elizabeth Craft Designs: Entwined Ovals and Tonic Studios: Just to Say (but you could use any sentiment die as a replacement for this one).

The mat was dry embossed using the 3D embossing folder from WR Memory Keepers (Geometric) and then I added the ovals (I die cut the larger one twice and layered them on top of each other) and the flowers.

The sentiment was die cut from white cardstock and adhered in the center of the ovals.

The Entwined Ovals die set also comes with the flower dies.  The flowers were all die cut from white cardstock and then a combination of two of the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse ( Peony Pink and Coral Calypso) was added to each one for color.  I die cut multiples and layered and shaped each one of them.

Nuvo Crystal Drops (Sherbet Summer) and Glitter Accents (Atlantic Drift) gives the flower centers extra color.

Now it's your turn to play along.  There are two winners for each Scrapy Land Challenge (all the details are on the Scrapy Land Challenge blog).  You have until Jan 13 to join in on the fun.

Lullaby

Today I'm sharing a baby card using some of the sweet new Baby Icons die set (there are a total of nine dies in this set) as well as the new Elegant Border die, both from Die-Versions.

The design of this card has a little treat box on top of an A2 sized card and was shown to me by my friend Ann.  She doesn't have a blog, but she freely shares her ideas 😃.  To create the box, I used Graphic 45 papers and the We R Memory Keepers Gift Box Board.  (I used the 1.75" x 1.75" box size.)

Each of the elements were die cut from Graphic 45 papers and accented with Distress Ink (Vintage Photo).


To the left is a close up of the butterfly and the Elegant Border.  Waterscape glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle accents his wings.










The rattle was accented with Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers and I used the de-bossed side of the baby feet because I liked that pattern better.  The embossed side really shows the little popcorn toes 😁.










The binky and baby bottle was die cut twice - once from the patterned cardstock and once from some really heavy plain cardstock for extra stability.  I added a 3D pop dot to hold the binky in place on top of the box and covered the remaining exposed adhesive with more Waterscape glitter.

The extra layer of cardstock on the baby bottle gives it extra dimension on the side of the box.  Both pieces were accented with Copic markers and Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers.






Be sure to visit the Die-Version blog to see the wonderful creations of the rest of the team.  On a final note, I'm really sad to say this will be my last posting for Die-Versions.  I have been on the team since it's inception in 2012 and I have enjoyed every minute of it!  Although I will no longer be on the team, you will still see lots of DV dies on my future projects 😁.

Ellie Retail Therapy {Scrapy Land Challenge #9}

The theme for the Scrapy Land Challenge #9 is Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  I've used Spellbinders (Labels Twenty-Eight), Taylored Expressions (Tag Stacklets), and MFT Die-Namics (Chevron Stripes).  In addition the gift bag was created using the We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board.

The image is Ellie Retail Therapy, a new stamp set just released by Sparkle N Sprinkle.  She's colored with Copic markers and Blue Jewel glitter was added to her dress and to the Chevron Strip (which was die cut out of Sticker Paper).

Ellie's nails, which are covered with Mauvelous glitter, are all done so she can shop in style.  Ellie is matted on sticker paper which was die cut from the Spellbinders die and covered with Cloud Nine glitter.

For a touch more bling, the sentiment tag was heat embossed using Sparkle embossing powder and Mon Ami Gabby Diamond Mesh was also added to both the tag and the gift bag.

Now it's your turn to upload your project using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  You have until January 18th.  Be sure to check out all the other great projects created by the Design Team as well.

Now a little bit about my project.

I've chosen the Across the Miles stamp set to showcase today.  After coloring the image with Copic markers, I added Dimensional Glue to the flower centers and covered it with Bubble Gum glitter.

Using a WeR Memory Keepers Envelope board, I created an envelope to fit the image and one of the sentiments from the set was randomly heat embossed over the entire area with Tangy Tangerine embossing powder.

Numbers and Letters embossing folder (by Spellbinders) was used to create the background for my envelope.  I ran some VersaMark over the entire area and sprinkled some Opaline embossing powder over it and heat set.

I added a bit of twine to the end of my fishtail banner, which I scored along the edges with a score board.  Another sentiment is also heat embossed with Tangy Tangerine embossing powder on the banner.  As a finishing touch, the Distressed Embossing technique was done around the edges of the card base, using Distress Ink (Mowed Lawn) and Clear embossing powder.

I will be showcasing the other new stamp sets in this month's release each weekday beginning on May 21st, including the Nesting Bird (which you've already seen a sneak peek for).  So I hope you come back (daily) to see the rest of my projects with these new stamp sets.

Dog Days of Summer

The challenge starting at Pattie's Creations today is to use an Animal or Insect in your project.  I decided to use Dog Days of Summer because I thought the bassett hound was so darn cute!

The image is colored with Copic markers, cut out with Spellbinders' Grand Large Labels, and matted onto We R Memory Keepers designer paper cut with Grand Labels Twenty Three.  The polka dotted papers are from Doodlebug Designs and the red stripe paper is from Creative Memories.  I added twine to show the fan was blowing and around the computer generated sentiment.  Glossy Accents was added to the sunglasses, the sentiment, and the ice cold drink.


Now it's time for you to show us your Animal or Insect project.  If you don't have any, there are lots to choose from at Pattie's Esty store.   Stay cool y'all!

Copics used: E000, E00, E02, E23, E37, E49   E71    YR16, YR09   FB2, B29, Y02, Y06, Y13, YR27, YR28, YR15   YR07, YR23, Y35   BG0000, BG000, BG10, BG32   YR16, YR18

Hershey

The theme for today's challenge from Paper Makeup Stamps' Digi Makeover Challenge is monochromatic and I thought Hershey would be the perfect choice.  (Although he isn't in the digi section yet, I'm sure he will be soon.)

He's colored with Copic markers and cut out with Spellbinders die.  Hershey is definitely a messy eater.  All the chocolate that's on his face, hands, and what he dropped on the floor is covered with Glossy Accents since melted chocolate has that shiny look to it.  I've added a bit of recycling by using a Hershey candy bar wrapper as part of the design.  The mats are cut with Grand Large Labels from Spellbinders and Lifestyle Crafts' Nesting Scallop Squares.  The papers are from WeR Memory Keepers (Cotton Candy) and Bo Bunny (Coffee Stripe).  On the inside is my computer generated sentiment and it says: "Enjoy Life,  Eat Dessert First" in chocolate, of course.

Now it's your turn to show us your monochromatic project.  Just remember, you have to use a digi and follow this week's theme.  Be sure to see what the rest of the Digi Makeup Artists have created for you and give a warm welcome to our first guest designer of the summer - Sarah L.

Copics used: E74, E77, E79   E13, E15, E17    E11, E97    N1, N2, N5   E70, B000, B01
