Let's Party Shaker Card - Heffy Doodle

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I am excited to return today with another guest post for Heffy Doodle. Today's card is the perfect card for any celebration. 

CARD RECIPE

• Prep a piece of A2-sized Bristol paper using anti-static powder.
•  Stamp out the boxes of presents from the Wrapped With Love Stamps using watermark ink.
• Heat emboss the stamped panel using clear embossing powder.
• Ink blend the panel. I used 3 inks to create a rainbow blend.

• Die-cut the panel using the Scalloped Imperial Frames Dies.
• Glue the center of the background onto the card base.
• Add acetate to the scalloped Frame and foam tape along the edge of the frame.
• Add the shaker bits to the center of the card front.
• Remove the protective layer from the foam and line up the scallop frame with the background to close the shaker layer.
• Die cut the Let's Party Jumbo Sentiment Dies. For the letters, I used black card stock and for the background layer, I used vellum.
• Finish by adding some clay stars onto the die-cut stars.

How fun is this card!? I love that it is a party in itself. Shakers are my all-time favorite kind of card to gift simply for that reason.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

You Are So Extra Off the Edge Card - Picket Fence Studios

Hello, my crafty friends!

I literally have an Extra special card to share with you today. When I saw these new dies from the latest Picket Fence Studios release, I knew exactly what I wanted to create. My vision was clear: to elevate the feathers on this card to a whole new level and make it so extra. And what better way to achieve that than an off-the-edge card design.

CARD RECIPE

SO EXTRA

• Apply a thin layer of Paper Glitz - Sparkle to a white piece of cardstock and allow to dry.
• Die-cut a couple of layers using the You Are So Extra Word Die, and stack and glue them together. 
• Die-cut another layer using the Sparkle Glitz layer and glue on top of the previous layers. Set aside.

FEATHERS

• On a piece of white card stock blend out the colors you want to use for the feathers. I used yellow, pink, and blue ink. 
• Over the blended inks add a layer of the same Paper Glitz - Sparkle paste. Allow to dry. 
• Once dry, die-cut the feathers using the More Fanciful Feathers Dies. Glue them onto another black die-cut layer. 

CARD BASE

• Line up the feather dies along the top edge of an A2-sized black card panel. Tape them in place.
• Line up the top plate of your die-cutting sandwich over the top half of the feather dies, so that only the top of the feathers are cut out.
• Trim away the extra space around the feathers using a straight edge or a slicer.
• Line up the colorful feathers from the previous step onto the off-the-edge panel.
• Glue the You Are So Extra Word layer onto the bottom of the panel.
• Next, glue the finished panel onto a horizontal A2-sized card base, ensuring that the feather edge aligns with the fold of the card base.
• Trim off the excess bottom of the card base. This results in a card that extends off the edge, perfectly sized to fit into an A2-sized envelope.
• Finish the card with some gemstone stickers. 

Do you know someone who's just a little extra? I sure do, and I think this card would be perfect for them! Stamp a happy birthday sentiment on the inside or something else to make them smile and send it to them.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Recessed Embossing Folder Background Cards - Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends, 

Today I have a few cards inspired by a couple of my Instagram friends, Enna @ritzyhag and Cindy @crncards If you like my cards today, you will definitely love the inspiration from these two very talented artists!

As you may already know embossing folders have a positive or raised side and a negative or recessed side. I will use the negative or recessed side of the paper for both cards.

CARD RECIPE

• Place a piece of watercolor cardstock in between the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder. I used Canson watercolor paper and gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine.
• Add ink to the recessed side of the embossed design. I used small ink-blending shader brushes and distress oxide inks. 
• Spray the entire panel with water and allow the inks to mix.
• To add sparkle to the background, I added some drops of Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer.
• Allow the panel to completely dry before the next step.

• While the panel is drying, stamp out the sentiments for the card front. The sentiments I used come from the Mini Messages Stamps. Stamp the sentiments using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink and heat set the ink with white embossing powder.
• Die-cut the strips using Mini Messages Dies.

• Once the embossed panels are completely dry, use the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad and rub the black ink all over the colored recessed side of the panel.
• Trim the panel down and black ink to the trimmed edges.
• Glue a black panel to a card base. I left a little white edge around the perimeter of the card.
• Add foam to the back of the embossed panel and glue it to the card front.
• Glue the sentiments in place using some foam strips.
• Finish by adding some gems in the centers of the flowers.

This next card was done the exact same way as the first one only this time I used the Clover Petals 3D Embossing Folder.

 Also, I did not add any Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer and used the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers.

I love how simple this detailed background was to make. It looks like so much work but it actually came together fairly quickly. The part that took the longest was the drying time of the panels.

Hope you enjoyed these colorful background panels using Embossing Folders. Hopefully, they inspire you to give this technique a try. Remember you can use any water-reactive media to add color to your background. Just have fun!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
