Crative Impressions Blog Hop--A Pumpkin Card

Welcome to another wonderful day with a Blog Hop from Stampendous and Creative Impressions. It wouldn't be a complete, of course, without PRIZES!

Comment for a chance to win one of these great prize packages! US winners only. See Official Rules for details. Deadline to comment is Sunday, August 7th, midnight PDT. Winners will be announced early next week.

Three prize packages that include:

An assortment of ribbons and hardware
PLUS winner’s choice of Create Winter, Create A Poinsettia or Create Fall Stamp Set

So now that you know about the prizes, let me share a card--and a new technique--with you. While I was trying to spray the back of a stencil to add some color, I became frustrated with the coverage of the color. That is when I came up with a new technique! Read about it in steps 8-11.

MATERIALS:

Birthday Assortment Perfectly Clear Stamp Set SSC1115

Long Pumpkins Stencil DWLL514

Wood Background Rubber Stamp RS-R249

Perfectly Clear Acrylic Stamp Handle

Champagne Pearlustre Embossing Powder

White Mixed Media Paper

Versamark Embossing Ink Pad

Embossing Heat Tool

Creative Impressions Pumpkin with Olive Stitched Ribbon

Creative Impressions Brads from the Antique Copper Embellishment Kit

Creative Impressions Antique Copper Frames Set 84502

Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa

Manual Die Cut Machine

Rubber Embossing Mat

Versafine in Vintage Sepia

Tattered Angels in Burlap

My Colors Card Stock in Brown Eyes, Parrot and White

Prismacolor Pencils in Olive Green, Apple Green, Dark Green, Yellowed Orange, Burnt Ochre, Pumpkin Orange, Spanish Orange, Orange, Sepia

Adhesive--I used Zip Dry

Big Bite Tool

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Place the wood stamp on the clear acrylic stamp handle.

2) Stamp on the brown card stock with the Momento Ink.

3) Place the sentiment on the stamp handle.

4) Stamp on green card stock with Versamark Ink.

5) Cover with the Champagne Pearlustre Embossing Powder.

6) Emboss with the Heat Tool

7) Cut to fit inside the metal piece.

8) Ink the back of the pumpkin stencil with the Versafine.

9) Spray over the Versafine on the back of the stencil with the Tattered Angels.

10) Place the stencil face down on the bed of the manual die cut machine and cover with the mixed media paper and then the rubber embossing mat and the top mat.

11) Run the project through the machine. This technique will give you a mottled background and an embossed image. Let it dry a little.

12) Color the embossed image using the Prismacolors. I used the Sepia pencil to color some shadows under the pumpkins.

13) Adhere the pumpkin and wood stamped elements to a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of green card stock.

14) Use the Big Bite to create holes for the brads on your card. I (somewhat awkwardly) held the metal piece in place as I used the holes as a guide.

15) Glue the sentiment into the metal bracket. (You can see the excess glue in this photo, but I promise it is not this evident in real life).

16) Use the brads to adhere the bracket to the card.

17) Glue one piece of ribbon over the seam (leaving a small section in the center free of adhesive) and around the back of the green card stock.

18) Slip a piece of the ribbon under the middle section and make a bow. When you have it right, you can glue the edges down a little to prevent slipping.

19) Adhere the card front to white 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" card stock folded in half.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win! Also, check out (and comment on) all the other blogs for today to increase your chances.

Celebrating Sentiments--a SIMPLE birthday card!

Welcome to the Celebrating Sentiments theme week. I am trying a couple of different things this week. First, I am trying the traffic on Friday instead of my usual Thursday. There are no stencils on this card, so no need to participate on Dreamweaver Thursday. Secondly, I am making probably my EASIEST card ever! After all, these stamps that include the sentiment are super simple to use. Here it is:

Have you ever colored in one of those very trendy adult coloring books? Well, this is the same thing, only better! Why? Because when you are done with your relaxing therapy, you can give this away, and save yourself a little money on a birthday card. This is how it was done:

MATERIALS:
Birthday Balloons Rubber Stamp RS-R259
White Mixed Media Paper
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink
Prisamcolor Pencils in Grass Green, Poppy Red, Orange, Ultramarine and Violet
May Arts Ribbon
Black Card Stock
White Card Stock
Red Cork Paper (Optional, I just added a little texture)
Adhesive

1) Stamp the image on the mixed media paper.
2) Have a fun, relaxing time coloring your image.
3) Tie ribbon around the bottom.
4) Assemble the card. This card has a standard 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" front.

See how easy? Give it a try with stamps that have a built in sentiment!

Here are the rest of the players for today, check out the fun:

3) Squeeze the Momento ReInkers directly onto the bag, moving it around occasionally to find blank areas to color.

4) Cover the bag with a little salt.

5) Fill the container with water until it covers the bag.

6) Cover the container and shake to agitate the dye.

7) Pour out the dye and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, let the bag dry or throw in the dryer.

9) Squeeze white fabric paint onto the craft sheet and tap stencil brush into it.

10) Tap the brush onto paper towel to remove the excess paint.

11) Rub the brush over the top of the stencil. Repeat these last two steps until the entire stencil has been painted.

The crow was colored with Black first and then burnished on parts with Metallic Silver. His beak is Yelllow Ochre. The skull was Black and Cool Grey 20% and burnished with white. The leaves were Orange, Neon Green, Chartruese and Dark Brown.

3) Use the tapestry needle to poke a hole in the top of the die cut skull.

4) Use the Removable Glue Dots to adhere the die cut skull to the craft sheet. (Otherwise, the little skull will get blown all over the place when you try to heat emboss it.)

5) Tap the skull with Clear Embossing Ink.

6) Cover with Opaque White Embossing Powder.

7) Carefully remove the skull with the craft knife and move it to another location on the craft sheet, gently shaking it to remove any excess powder.

10) Cut the twine into two pieces and adhere one end of each piece around the back of the project with Craft Glue Dots.

11) Adhere the image to the black card stock.

12) Apply one Craft Glue Dot under the area where the bow will be and press the twine into it, leaving a 3-4 inch length of twine on either side.

13) Tie the twine into a knot.

14) Remove the skull from the craft sheet and use the tapestry needle to thread it onto a small piece of embroidery floss.

15) Tie the embroidery floss around the knot.

16) Tie the twine into a bow.

17) Place Mini Glue Dots in several spots under the bow and twine to attach to the background and press down.

18) Use Mini Glue dots to press the skull down onto the background.
