Love You To The Moon and Back! Using Out Of This World Stamps and Dies

 Welcome Crafty Friends,

I wonder what draws you, to purchase your stamp and dies. A certain style, theme or just love the image. For me its all those things. With today's choice it was the words. As I have been telling my Grandson since he was a tiny baby, nearly seven years ago, that I love him to the moon and back. When I saw this in a stamp I knew I had to use it. I am going to frame this card for his bedroom. So he can have a constant, reminder of how much nanny loves him.

Using your Starry paint palette for two or more different colours to add splats of  golds to your card base. leave this to dry.

 Die cut out your rocket and keep the die cuts in the negative cardstock. 

Using a small blending brush add colour to each part of your elements. Let them dry before assembling them. 

Then using the plant stamps and dies make up your plants. I cut everything out of white cardstock and coloured them with my inkpads. Lastly stamp the sentiment on your moon.

Attach planets and rocket with double sided sticky foam.

Method

Firstly I die cut all the elements of the unicorn out of Neenah 110lb cardstock,

Before attaching the parts together i used my ink blending brush and lightly blended some Kitsch Flamingo ink to the tail and maine. 

Next using the border die I created a stencil by cutting out of a piece of scape card and ink blending down my card blank to create pink clouds.

This was also done in Kitsch Flamingo oxide inkpad.

The next step was to create the turn about section of this project. I cut this down to 4" squared.

I started to build my scene by further die cutting rainbow and clouds, out of white 110lb cardstock and ink blending. Adding a little sparkle with water and perfect pearls. I also felt I wanted to add a little stamping to unicorn on his back. Going around the edges with Salvaged Patina and stamping little hearts.

I used an action wobble to attach the unicorn. Stamped and die cut the banner added it using mounting tape. I then added this to the card blank at an angle. finished my project with crystal glaze and crystal gems.

Perfect for all those of us who believe in unicorns.

Using Up Scrapes, and Sentiments to Create Colourful Backgrounds on your Cards.

Well Hello and Welcome

This week I've been trying to use up my scraps. I love nothing more that cutting my coloured cardstock in to strips my Ranger guillotine. I make sure they are all exactly the same size as that gives similarity to my project. But this doesn't have to be the case.

Products

Sentiment Stripes 3 Stamp Set (Altenew)

Star Dies (Concord & 9th) (Any)

Different Cardstocks in Rainbow Colours (Lawn Fawn) (Any)

Glitter Card Stock (Memory Box)

White Detailed Embossing Powder

Embossing Ink Pad

6 x 6" Card Blank

Method

Cut all your cardstock in 1/4 of an inch width stripes.

Using a misti or similar line up your pattern, glue stripe by strip.

Stamp and emboss your sentiments by lining them up on the stripes of cardstock. First use a antistatic tool or bag as powder tends to disappear in the cracks of the cardstock. I also used a fine paint brush to remove it before heating. 

One heat embossed in a fine white powder as this shows up on the darker colours of cardstock. Use a cloth to gently wipes of extra static powder.

This gives a clean and simple look to your design.

Finally I added another sentiment (Hey, Girl) and three die cut stairs from gold glitter card. This was then finished.

Thank you for popping over

Happy Paper Crafting
