Never Give Up Card with White Rose Crafts LLC

Hello Crafty Friends - I am Guest Designing for White Rose Crafts LLC this month. It's an honor to be working with Kay and her team. 

Today, I am here with a quick and easy card 

using this month's kit called Blue Skies.

This kit is beautiful - it has shades of blue, rich gold, butterflies,

 uplifting quotes and a fantastic stamp by Kaisercrafts.

So let's get started on the card.

I started by trimming the floral paper to 4" x 5-1/4". I pulled a piece of Navy cardstock from my stash and trimmed that to 4-1/1"" x 5-1/2". Next, I die cut a circle from the rich gold specialty cardstock from the kit. Then, I trimmed the sentiment I wanted to use from one of the pattern papers from the kit.

Once, I had my papers, sentiment and other supplies gathered I created the card.

I matted the floral pattern paper onto the navy cardstock. Then, I used low profile foam adhesive on the back of the gold circle and adhered it the lower right of the card front.

Next, I turned my attention to the chipboard butterfly. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Squeezed Lemonade directly onto the butterfly. I lightly dried it between layers of ink with my heat tool. Next, I sprayed the New Distress Oxide Spray in Mermaid Lagoon. 

Once it was dry I flipped it over and added low profile foam adhesive onto the back of the butterfly. Then, place it onto the gold cardstock circle.

Next, I added the sentiment on top of the butterfly again with low profile foam adhesive. I was now ready to add some finishing touches.

I add a few sequins from the Sunny Skies Sparkle Blend that comes in the kit. I also added from the Sparkle Blend the little gold coils to the antenna. I adhered the card front to a top folding card base.  

Now the card is complete!

Happy Easter Tag with Rinea Foil Paper

 Hello Crafty Friends -I am here with a fun Easter tag.

With some die cutting and a bit of stamping you can create some tags for those Easter Baskets, you are creating for your family.

Materials Used:
Rinea Pastel Variety Pack: Starstruck Lavender, Turquoise & Jade.
Rinea Starstruck Blush
Rinea Starstruck Marigold
Rinea Starstruck Emerald
Rinea Starstruck Violet
Rinea Glossy Gold
Rinea Glossy Turquoise
Tag Die - Hero Arts Nested Infinity Set
Evaney Designs - Easter Word Die
So Suzy Stamps - Dino Egg
Hero Arts - Happy Sentiment

Recollection Brand 110lb White Cardstock
EK Success Mini Flower Punch
Offray Ribbon - Gold Metallic
Ranger Liquid Pearls - Gold Pearl
Assorted Fibers 
Adhesive: Tape Runner & foam 

So let's get started

First, stamp and color the Easter eggs. I used 3 in total. As well as the word Happy - trim and set a side. Next, die cut the tag once from white cardstock (so I could have a place to write a quick note) and once from Rinea Starstruck Lavender Foil Paper. 

Then, die cut the word Easter 2x once from white cardstock and once from Rinea Glossy Gold Foil Paper. Next, Punch a few flowers (as many as you like) - This just gives the eggs a place to sit so they don't look like they are floating.

Next, adhere the two tags together. Repeat the process with the word Easter.

Now that the tag is ready to decorate - adhere the three Easter Egg to the tag. Place them towards the bottom of the tag. Popping up the center egg.

Next, adhere the flowers beneath the eggs. Layering them to create a lovely little nest for them.

Then, adhere the word Easter toward the top of the tag. Adhere the stamped word Happy to the tag - tucking slightly into the word Easter.

Next, cut your fibers and ribbon. Attach them to the tag. I add the fibers through the hole. Then, tied the ribbon around the fibers and made a bow.

Finally, add a bit of Liquid Pearls to the center of the flowers.

Your Tag is now complete. You can make as many as needed. The image can be changed to a more masculine design as well as the colors - Rinea carries a great variety of Foil Paper in an assortment of colors.

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with some tags -

 that would compliment any Gift, card, scrapbook layout, travelers notebook or canvas.

They are easy to put together.

Both tags are basically put together in the same way. except for the Ephemera card and embellishments.  I die cut the tag from the Glitter Chipboard.

Love you More Card with A2Z Scrapbooking

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a CAS card.

This month we're using a Mood Board to inspire us

I am using the

  Instant Download Hero Arts Winged Friends DK033 Butterfly Digital Kit  

and Hero Arts Stamp & Cut LOVE Set DC175

I simply printed the digital download and cut the dragonfly I wanted to work with from the rest. Colored it in with some Arteza Real Brush Markers for a soft watercolor effect.  Then, Fussy cut it. Next, I die cut the word LOVE twice - once from plain white cardstock one once from Rinea Ruby Glossy Foil Paper. Stack and glued the layers to create a chipboard word. I stamped the sentiment You More on white cardstock and cut it into a thin strip. I adhered all the elements on to card front panel which measures 4" X 5-1/4" I made from tone on tone pink pattern paper and medium gray cardstock for a nice mat. I then stamped a few hearts for a dragonfly trail. Finished it all off with some small gray and pink sequins and a bit of Wink of Stella on the wings.

Celebrating Mardi Gras with Rinea Foil Paper

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun mask for Mardi Gras.

Featuring So Suzy Stamps Tulip Single Stamp. This month we're collaborating with So Suzy Stamps to create some inspiring projects for you.

Materials Used:

So Suzy Stamps Tulip Single Stamp

Rinea Violet Starstruck Foil Paper

Arteza Watercolor Brush Markers

Ranger Clear Embossing Powder

Tsukinneko Versafine Onyx Black Ink

Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock

Mask & Trim Dollar Tree 

Jewels: Pretty Pink Posh

Aleene's Tacky Glue

Heat Tool & Scissors

Let's get started!

I stamped the image 3x with versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. (this is optional) onto Bristol smooth cardstock. I colored the images and trimmed them out once dry. 

I then traced the mask onto some copy paper and used it as a pattern to cut the Rinea Violet Starstruck foil paper. Next, I covered the mask with tacky glue and pressed the Violet Starstruck foil paper onto it. I trimmed away any extra paper - making sure that my edges were neat. I then adhered the colored Tulip images to the center and either side of the eye area of the mask. Next, I adhered some trim to the otter edge of the mask. 

For finishing touches, I adhered some jewel to the corners and around the eyes of the mask.
