How my card was made
1.  Paint kraftboards from the Kraftboard Royal Heart Kit with Deco Art Acrylic Gesso and let dry, I helped it along with a heat gun. 
2.  Then paint the back board with Deco Art Traditions Red Violet, let dry then crumple up waxed paper, dip it into Traditions Raw Senna and pounce the paint on. 
3.  Paint the shield kraftboard with Traditions Raw Sienna paint, let dry and stamp with the script from Stamps Royal Heart Kit with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
4.  Cut out the quote from the quote sheet and glue it underneath the shield then glue the shield to the bottom board. Add pink rhinestones.
5.  Place the die-cut double-sided Sticky Panels over the heart and crown, remove the carrier and sprinkle the heart with Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel, heat and add a pink rhinestone to the center.
 
6.  Remove the carrier from the crown, sprinkle with mica chips from the Silence Stack Art Elements Kit, rub off the excess then sprinkle with the pink glitter from the set to fill in any spaces the mica didn't cover.  Add brown and pink rhinestones and glue the crown and heart to the Stack Art piece.
 
 
7. Layer a tan panel onto a rust panel, tie with pink May Arts Ribbon and mount Stack Art piece to papers.
8.  Sprinkle Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel on a tan card and heat from underneath so the Embossing Enamel doesn't blow off.
9.  Mount work to the card.

We'll mail three prize packages to commenters with U.S. Mailing Addresses, and Deco Art will mail three sample packages to international commenters so all of our friends can play! Here's a terrific project created by our Design Team Member Janelle Stollfus. She used "layers and layers" of paint on this plaque to get that incredibly deep background.

Summer Memories


At Dreamweaver Stencils, we love to make our monthly challenges something for everyone, and not so strict that no one wants to play along. This month our challenge is, "Old, New, Borrowed, Blue", with the obvious thought being a wedding theme...but not necessarily. Add an old embellishment or picture. Use a new stencil design or technique. Borrow, or CASE (copy and say everything) another designers project, and obviously, blue...is blue. Remember, linking your creations with the Inklinkz tool at the end of the team posts, provides you with the opportunity to win the stencil of your choice!

This week my project uses something old and blue.  The picture of my daughter is old, she is now 21...how time flies!  Blue paper, ink, brads and ribbon were also used.  Here is how my page was made.

1.  LL329 Beach Chair was stenciled using Radiant Neon Inks in Electric Pink and Green on the umbrella and VersaFine Vintage Sepia.
2.  The stencil was cleaned off and placed back over the image, then Dreamweaver Stencils Translucent Embossing Paste was spread over the stencil which was then removed.
3.  Pink Micro Glitter from Stampendous was spread over the umbrella only and the image was left to dry.
4.  Once dry place stencil over image, sponge the chair only with a glue that stays tacky when dry, I used Duo Glue from US ArtQuest.  Once dry (just a couple minuntes) Metallic FX powder was spread on using a brush.

5.  The LL332 Picasso was used to make the clouds with Radiant Neon Electric Blue ink.
6.  On the photo Electric Pink was stippled through LG698 Corner Flourishes then embossed with Shabby Pink Embossing Powder from Stampendous.  The stencil was then replaced and a bit of Electric Pink was stippled on top.

7.  To make the sign, LJ901 Mosaic Swirls was placed on blue paper and stippled with Electric Blue ink.  The LM294 Summer was placed over the stenciled piece and Translucent Embossing Paste was spread over the top, the stencil remove and Pink Micro Glitter was spread over the top of the paste.

8.  May Arts Ribbon was glued to the bottom of the page and used to hang the sign.

Here's what our "A" team has been working on this week:

Hop With Dreamweaver Stencils and Imagine Crafts



IC_DW_Blog_Hop_Badge.jpg (688×212)
Welcome to Dreamweaver Stencils first ever collaboration week with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko! Three prize packages are available, each containing one set of each of these inks and stencils/dies. Just leave comments on each post of each day this week (June 9th - June 13th) for a chance to win! Winners will be announced on Tuesday, June 17th!


I LOVE clean and simple cards, they look so crisp, so that is what I set out to do when I made these cards. Here is how my card was made.

1.  Die Cut DG743 Stylized Dahlia on a white panel.
2.  Place removable tape around the edges of a white card and sponge with Radiant Neon inks in Electric Pink, Electric Purple, Electric Green and Electric Yellow.  Remove tape.

3.  Glue die cut piece onto the sponged card and glue with Beacon Adhesives 3 in 1 glue.
4.  Sponge a small tag with Electric Purple, Green and Pink. Stamp sentiment from Regal Bird Quotes by Stampendous on the tag with Onyx Black VersaFine.   Glue to the stem and place a green rhinestone in the hole.
5.  Glue a purple bow made from May Arts Ribbon and glue with 3 in 1 glue.

Now here is the card I originally made but a couple of days ago the Amazing Pam Hornschu made a card with this stencil and it was so similar to mine I thought I better make another! This card used the same inks but they were sponged on the diecute panel and glued ontop of a black panel. So today you get two from me.

Stencils and Dies Prize Package

Here's my creation for today:



1. Today I'm using one of  Dreamweaver Stencils new stencils, LL3039 Owl Buddy, you will tape onto white cardstock using REMOVABLE tape and sponge with Radiant Neon inks in Electric Yellow, Electric Orange, Electric Green and VersaFine Vintage Sepia.
2.  Remove stencil and place the new matching die DG751 Nesting Owls over the sponged owl, tape with removable tape and run through your diecut machine.
3.  To help me place my cut pieces I stenciled the owl on kraft colored paper with Electric Yellow so I would have proper placement.  Glue pieces down with Beacon Adhesives 3 in 1 glue except for the wings, beak and feet, use 3D Foam Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
4.  Glue on googly eyes using 3 in 1 glue, tear three sides of the paper and sponge with Vintage Sepia VersaFine ink.
5.  Wrap a twig with cream colored cord, add beads and glue as show.  Also glue a twig under the feet.  3 in 1 glue worked great to glue these down.
6.  I got a fun product to work with from Imagine Crafts that I haven't used before and I LOVE it!  It's the irRESISTible sprays, luckily the two I got are some of my favorite colors to work with Desert Sand and New Sprout.  They are colored texture spray so not only do you get pretty colors you get texture!  Spray both colors on a cream panel, let dry and glue the panel onto a kraft colored card.
7.  Diecut three of the DM2001 Petite Fern from sage green cardstock and glue to the cream panel and mount owl.

Just Imagine the possibilities of what everyone else has created!

Stampendous and Core'dinations All Week!

2014_06_coredinations

Welcome to another week long collaboration! This week we're playing with Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! They always make a project pop with the addition of so much texture! Plus, they're just plain yummy colors! We love the way you can sand the papers to allow the coordinating color core show through. This card from our own Kristine Reynolds really highlights this fantastic technique. This works with embossing folders, metal dies (like those from our friends at Dreamweaver Stencils), or just sanding straight on the paper to create a distressed look.Sleepy Reader by Kristine Reynolds (House-Mouse Designs® Gruffies® by Ellen Jareckie)[/caption]   Of course there are prizes this week! Three prize packages will be awarded. Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads.

1.  Emboss Dreamweaver Stencils LG611 on Core'dinations The Chocolate Box paper by running it through your Big Shot using the embossing mat.

Two Hearts



 At Dreamweaver Stencils, we love to make our monthly challenges something for everyone, and not so strict that no one wants to play along. This month our challenge is, "Old, New, Borrowed, Blue", with the obvious thought being a wedding theme...but not necessarily. Add an old embellishment or picture. Use a new stencil design or technique. Borrow, or CASE (copy and say everything) another designers project, and obviously, blue...is blue. Where will YOUR creative process take you for this month? We'd love to see! And remember, linking your creations with the Inklinkz tool at the end of the team posts, provides you with the opportunity to win the stencil of your choice! Here's what I've created for this week...

June is a popular time for weddings and anniversaries so to celebrate this I have made an anniversary card which my husband will probably be getting since our anniversary is this month!  If you are in need of a wedding card all you have to do is use a different sentiment and this will be perfect.
Here is how my card was made. 

1.  Put stencil LL3010 Tole Heart on kraft color card stock, use removeable tape to keep it in place and run through your embossing machine. 
2.  Keeping the stencil on, sponge with Versamark ink, remove stencil and emboss paper with Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. 
3.  Repeat the process but emboss the second one with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel.
4.  Die cut or punch a small heart from cardstock, rub with Versamark ink and emboss with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel.  Glue in the center of the blue heart.
5.  Layer the blue heart onto blue and black paper and the pink heart onto pink and black paper.
6.  Stencil LJ899 Petals Background on a kraft color card using Tea Dye Distress Ink and Beige Brilliance.
7.  Layer hearts on a heart doily and pink paper and glue to card.
8.  Stamp sentiment at the bottom of the card with Sepia Versafine ink.


Here's what our "A" team has been working on this week:
