Be Happy with Beth Duff Designs

Hello Unicorn Friends - Annie here with a happy rainbow panda card.

I figured even pandas want to be unicorns right!?
 I made this pandacorn by combining Cuddle like a Panda set and Unicorn Farts set

 

I started by stamping both the panda and unicorn with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Marker Paper. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I only colored the Horn, Mane and tail of the unicorn in a rainbow of course. A bit of IG2 for the panda. Next, I cut away the mane and tail from the unicorn and toss out the rest. I then adhered them to the panda.
 Now, I have a Pandacorn!

I then die cut some clouds, grass and rainbow - set them aside. Next, I cut a card front panel - (A2 size 4-1/4" x 5-1/2") and added a bit of Distress ink in Salty Ocean for my sky. Then, I adhered the grass, rainbow and clouds to the front panel. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Cuddle like a Panda set to the panel on the left side. I also stamped an additional sentiment from the Unicorn Farts set - cut it into a strip, added foam adhesive and adhered it to the front panel. Then, I added some foam adhesive to the pandacorn and placed it on the rainbow. For some finishing touches I added a bit of Silver gel pen to the horn. Also some Wink of Stella to the mane and tail.

Double Double Toil and Trouble with Simply Crafty SVG

Hello Friends - Today, I am bringing you a fun project using the New Witch's Cauldron from Simply Crafty SVG. 

This is a quick and simple little cauldron perfect for your desk or mantel to decorate for the up coming Halloween season. Sandy does an incredible job explaining how to put the cauldron together in her video.

This is my version of the Witch's Caudron. I used some black glitter cardstock to create my cauldron as well as glow in the dark web cardstock. a bit of pattern paper. 

 Showing the candle and orange lights and glowing in the dark

 Showing it again a bit darker room - you can still see a bit of the glow in the dark. 

Thank you for stopping by today - I hope you give the Witch's Cauldron a try this Halloween Season!

Let it Snow with Doodles Paper Playground

Hello Friends - Today I am bring you another fun card. This one is a winter scene. Penguin, Seal and Polar Bear have all worked real hard on building a snowman.

I created a shaker card and use the New Released Sparkle Blend Frozen. I love this mix it has hues of Blue, soft Teals and white. Some snowflakes, small crystals in both clear and pale blue. This Sparkle Blend along with all the other Sparkle Blend can be purchased at White Rose Crafts LLC

To create the shaker I simply stamped the snowman image and cut away the body leaving only his arms. I then trimmed his buttons, nose and eyes to adhere them to the top of the clear acetate. I stamped and colored the other images. I then fussy cut them out and set them aside. Next, I created the back background on the same card front that I stamped snowman. I use I cloud stencil with Distress Ink to create the snow and to give a bit of color to the sky. I then sprinkled a bit of water and dried it off.

Next, I add a bit of DecoArt Snow Writer to the snow banks I created with the stencil. I also added a bit to snowball pile. Once the snow writer effects were dry I added the buttons, nose and eye to the snowman. I then flipped over the card front panel and put foam adhesive to the back to create the channel for my Frozen Sparkle Blend to sit in - then I placed a small piece of white and silver pattern paper to seal in the Frozen Sparkle Blend. Then, I adhered the card front panel to an A2 teal cardbase.

Next, I adhered the penguin, seal and polar bear using low profile foam adhesive. I adhered to the snowball pile directly to the panel - since it has the snow writer effect it has plenty of dimension. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it on a banner. For finishing touches I add a few sequins from the Frozen Sparkle Blend around the sentiment and snowman. I also added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the accessories (scarf, hat & earmuffs) as well as the sentiment.

Halloween Cards with A2Z Scrapbooking

Hello Friends today I want show you I made two quick Halloween cards. They came together really quickly. I am using the Hero Arts Spooky Labels - Halloween Digital Kit . 

Now let's get started on how I created these cards.

I started by downloading and sizing the Hero Arts Spooky Labels to the size I needed for my cards. Next, I printed them onto Orange Cardstock.

Card #1 - I trimmed the banner label and ink the edges with Hero Arts Black Ink. Then, I trimmed the Trick or Treat Sentiment & the little bat also inking the edges. Next, I trimmed my card panel from green cardstock adhered it to my black cardbase.

Then, I punched a small circle at the top of the banner label and tied some black & white Baker's Twine through it. Next, I trimmed the purple cardstock just a hair smaller than the inner part of the banner label. adhered it to the banner label - then adhered the sentiment with foam adhesive on top of the purple cardstock. I added some foam adhesive to the top and regular adhesive to the rest of the of the banner label place it onto the cardbase. Now, for some finishing touches - I adhered the little bat to the banner centered at the bottom. I popped up his wings with foam adhesive for some added interest. I then place 3 enamel dots in an angle on the corners of the card.

Card #2 - I trimmed the Boo from the printed sheet. I matted it onto the holographic paper. set it aside. Next, I trimmed a card front panel from the Purple cardstock and stamped the triangles and circles onto the panel with Wilted Violet Distress ink. Then, I adhered the purple panel onto some of the holographic orange paper. I then adhered the card panel onto the dark gray cardbase. Next, Die cut the word Happy from green cardstock 3x - next I stacked and adhered each layer so I ended up with a nice thick die cut word. Then, I stamped the -for you- onto a small pieces of lime-green cardstock - I trimmed it down and fishtailed both ends.

Now, that I have all the components ready I put together my card. I adhered the matted Boo onto the purple toward the top of the panel. Next, I adhered the die cut Happy above the boo. added the for you banner underneath using a bit of foam tape. For some finishing touches I add a few enamel dots

I hope you give the Hero Arts Spooky Labels - Halloween Digital Kit .   a try. It's perfect for your quick Halloween cards.

Space Ranger with Rinea Foil Paper

Hello Friends - I am  here with another quick project for you to try out. Today, I am making a layout. I kept this one simple. Just let the photo and paper shine.

I used the Haunted Variety Crafter's Pack to create this layout. I also pulled Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper to accent my photo.

Let's get started by gathering the Supplies:

Haunted Variety Crafter's Pack 

Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper 

Rinea Ghost Ink

Rinea Starburst Sentiments Stamp Set

Rinea Clear Round Stamp Block 

Heavy Weight Cardstock - White - Recollections Brand

Thickers Alphabets - Daiquiri - in the color Leaf

Tools: Trimmer - Fiskars

Scissors - Fiskars

Die cutting Machine - Cricut - Cuttlebug

Die Cuts & More Double Stitched Stars

Momenta Dies - Single Cut Stars & Shooting Star

Scotch 3M ATG & Quick Dry Craft Glue

To create this layout I cut the Starstruck Ebony Black and the Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper into 2" wide strips. I then trimmed the Starstruck Ebony to 7-1/2" long and the Violet/Gold Glossy Foil Paper to 6-1/2" long. I trimmed the Starstruck Emerald Green to 3-1/4" X 4-1/4" to mat my photo. 

Next, I used several dies from Momenta and Die Cuts & More to cut out various sized stars from Startsruck Marigold Orange,  Glossy Marigold/Gold & Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. I then used Rinea Ghost Ink, Rinea Starburst Sentiments Stamp Set and Rinea Clear Round Stamp Block to add some details to some of the stars.

The Ghost Ink lifts the color from the Foil Paper creating a two tone look. If you haven't given it a try you really should it's amazing!!

To assemble the layout - I used a 8-1/2" x 10" Heavy Weight White Carstock and  I layered the strips Starstruck Ebony Black and the Violet/Gold Glossy Foil paper and adhered them toward the bottom of my cardstock. Then, I layered my photo onto the Starstruck Emerald Green Foil Paper adhered into place. Next, I adhered the photo on top of the layered strips. I then adhered the stars around and above the photo - Creating clusters. Making sure to have the three colors of the stars spread out evenly throughout. To finish the layout I used some Thickers in Daiquiri-Leaf.

I hope you give Rinea Foil Paper a try on your next layout. It's so easy to use and it provides the prefect touch to any layout!!
