Only Words!

It's here!!!! The newest release from Crafter's Companion is now available! Woo hoo! Only Words is so fun! There are so many fantastic dies.

I used the Special Friend die for this shaker card.  I inked up some cardstock with Delicata Golden Glitz, then die cut it out.  I created a shaker, but used vellum for the window of the Die'Sire Essentials Hearts Die window instead of the standard acetate!


These die make any creation quick, fun and easy! Thanks for stopping by!

Some Mixed Media

Hi! I wanted to share a Mixed Media card I made using the Ahhh... Christmas! set along with Memento's Delicata Golden Glitz and some Gelatos!

For the tag, I colored some Gelatos directly on to the stamp (Stamp It's Travel Script), sprtized it with water and then stamped it.  I used a heat gun to speed up the drying process before I stamped that image using Golden Glitz.  I also splattered some Gelatos mixed with water onto the back of the card.  If you click on the image, you can see a larger view.

Once that was stamped, I also stamped it onto the card base and just aligned the two correctly before adhering.  The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.

Thanks for stopping by!

Crafter's Companion July Challenge: Die Cuts

Hi! Have you played along with the July Crafter's Companion Challenge yet? The July theme is Die Cuts, one of my favorite things about crafting!

It's rare that I create anything without using some sort of a die cut, so I was excited about the challenge this month!

For my card, I used the Camden Town Female 1.  I used my Claudine Hellmuth Rock-A-Blocks to stamp the perfect image.  If you haven't used these yet, you are missing out.  They are awesome! I always get an absolutely perfect image when I stamp using them.  They rock (pun intended)!!!!

I stamped the sentiment using Memento's Delicata Golden Glitz ink (this will be coming soon to the Crafter's Companion store).  It is an amazing formulation! The gold really pops and shines! I colored in the birdhouse with my Spectrum Noirs (PP4, PP6, CG2, CG3, CT3) and added some Distress Ink (Broken China) to the background.  I cut out the fence by hand and hid it partially in the window.

To finish off the card, I added some washi and then embossed the top of the card using Darice's Wire Fence folder.  The little hearts were also die cut.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you will play along to win!!!
