Dancin' Penguin Card and Tag


Here's a birthday card and a Christmas tag that I made using the same cute penguin die set from Spellbinders. It's fun dressing him up in different color clothes for different occasions, I know this will be one of my favorite dies.

To make my card and tag, I used the dies from the Dancin' Christmas Collection along with stamps and dies from the Bibi's Snowflakes Collection that were used on the tag.

Starting Fall Card


I'm making a Fall card using the Watercolor Spring Tree set from Rubbernecker Stamps and thought I'd share what I've made so far.

-To make my card, I started by stamping the tree trunk in Cinnamon Color Fuse Ink, then the foilage was stamped with VersaMark Ink and three colors of embossing powder were sprinkled on and embossed.
-Once that was done, the clouds were stenciled using Color Fuse Ink Set #7. The ink was stenciled over the foilage and wiped off when done.
-Next, ink from Color Fuse Ink Set #10 was blended from the bottom up for the grass, then grass was stamped using Clover from the same set.

Floating Strips Birthday Card

 


Today I have a floating strips birthday card that's made with pretty scraps that I just couldn't throw away.

Here's how my card was -

Emboss the bottom of a white cardstock panel using the Monoline Stars Embossing Folder and place the panel diagonally in the folder.

Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp and Die Set-

  Place a strip of gold paper where the embossing ends using 1/8" tape. Mount this to a top folding pink card using the E-Z Runner Strips. 




Die-cut an oval from acetate and place alternating strips of decorative paper and gold paper, securing it with 1/4" and 1/8" tape. 


Place 3D Strips on the back of the acetate behind the paper strips.


Die-cut flowers and leaves using Sealed For Christmas Sprigs Dies from white cardstock and place them on the left side of the oval using Micro dots. The pink center of the flower is popped up using 3D micro squares. Attach pink cord and a bow to the stem of the flowers using Micro Dots. Die-cut Wishing from black and gold cardstock. Layer the gold on the black with the black edge showing and pop this up diagonally on the oval using a 3D Foam Strip. Die-cut a banner from white cardstock and stamp it with the sentiment using pink ink. Add pink twine and a white and gold ribbon to the stem of the flowers.


Die-cut the sentiment using the Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp and Die Set and cut the Wishing from black and gold cardstock. Layer the gold on the black with the black edge showing and pop this up diagonally on the oval using a 3D Foam Strip. Die-cut a banner from white cardstock and stamp it with the sentiment using pink ink. Add pink twine and a white and gold ribbon to the stem of the flowers.


Here are the dies and embossing folders that were used.

The Dancin' Gingerbread Etched Dies also come with other cute dies to make a gingerbread man.
To make the background, red ink was rubbed on one side of the embossing folder (the side where the pattern is raised), white cardstock was placed inside and run through the embossing machine.
