CardMaker & Poppy Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to the CardMaker & Poppy Stamps Blog Hop.

I had so much fun playing with these dies. I use a Craftwell Ebosser and the Poppy Stamps dies went through with no problem. I only had to make one pass on the intricate Theo Butterfly die using 110lb card stock.

Woohoo!!!

I die cut the Puffy Cloud Border, then used it as a mask with Versa Magic Aspen Mist ink. I also inked the edges of the butterfly. Tiny white dots are made with irRESISTible Pico Embellisher in Wedding White.

The Maple Leaf Border die is perfect for all of your Fall cards and scrap pages. 

The card front was die cut and popped up with foam adhesive. The panel behind that was finished with Metal Gilding Flakes, as was the sentiment (Gorgeous shine!). Tiny twigs are just card stock that have been cut very close to the blade of my Fiskars ProCision cutter...how cute are they?!?

 I just had to make something else with the Leaf Border die:

I die cut the leaves and used the negative as a mask for Ferro Graphite Embossing paste (LOVE) to add dimension to this card. Left over leaves were adhered with foam adhesive.

Don't forget to comment on each stop along the way. There are prizes involved after all.

OWH Coffee Filter Cards

Hello my friends...

I am so honored to be asked by Operation Write Home to do a tutorial about this wonderful technique. How about a unique background that adds no bulk to your cards? Do you have a coffee filter handy?

Let's get started....

You are going to need:

White card stock
Coffee Filter
Reinkers or Ink pads
Clear embossing powder
Watermark Ink
Stamps
Spray Adhesive (glue works too)
Spray Water Bottle
Paper Towels

You will definitely want to use a craft sheet on your work surface for this technique.

Stamp onto the coffee filter using Watermark ink and heat emboss with Clear powder. 

Put a couple of drops of ink on your craft sheet, spritz with water, then lay coffee filter over ink. 

(Do this with each color as desired) Let dry or use heat gun.

NOTE: I achieved more vibrant colors with the reinkers, but using an ink pad works also.

Cut white card stock to desired size (a coffee filter will cover an A2 card) and use spray adhesive.

Lay coffee filter on top and smooth any wrinkles. Trim.

Now finish card as desired.

Below, I have made a second card with a little variation in that I glued a dictionary page to the card stock, then attached the coffee filter on top...now the printing shows through:

Please feel free to ask any questions. Be sure to leave your email with the comment.

Let's go Shopping:

White & Black card stocks

Coffee Filter

Stamps: Tiger Lily, Trailing Beauty (Penny Black), Simply You (Technique Tuesday)

Inks: Watermark, Versafine Onyx Black, Memento Reinkers Teal Zeal, Rose Bud, Bamboo Leaves, Pear Tart (Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko)

Clear & White Embossing powders (Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko)

Old Paperback Dictionary

Spray Adhesive (3M)

Liquid Pearls: Black (Ranger)

Lava Soap to clean all the ink off your fingers :)

You make my World

Hello friends....Just another card for fun. How cute is this digi stamp from Sassy Cheryl?!? (Personally I love the dog...looks like my Snowy).

My favorite colors are Navy & Lime...could you tell?

As a side note...My Iphone cover is Navy & Lime and I just bought a Vera Bradley purse & wallet that is also that same color combo (drives my kids crazy...whoever heard of Lime as a favorite color?)

Colored with Copics, fussy cut bird and dog to pop onto card with foam adhesive.

Sentiment is Simply You by Technique Tuesday and that oh so fun dash line edge is a die by Lil Inkers called Mat Stitching.

Entered into the Sassy Cheryl Show Me Challenge

You are my reason why.

Hello friends....Are you ready for the weekend? Do you have crafty plans for the next few days?

I love making cards for our deployed soldiers and if you want to get in on this terrific organization, just go here to read all the do's and don'ts of their cardmaking requirements.

Today I am playing along with their Clean and Simple challenge.

This card is also entered in the Simon Says Stamp Anything goes Challenge.

Bright Pink card stock stamped and heat embossed. Ran my Scor-Bug around the edges and mounted to a Light Pink card stock. Liquid Pearls for flower centers (I always flatten my dollops of Liquid Pearls after they are dry...for some unknown reason, I just like that look).

This card was so quick to make, you could make a dozen of them in less than 30 minutes.

Thanks for stamping by today....

Let's go Shopping:

Light Pink & Bright Pink card stock (Michaels)

Stamp: Petal Party (Penny Black), Simply You (Technique Tuesday)

Scor-Bug (Scor-Pal)

White embossing Powder (Imagine Crafts)

Flamingo & White Opal Liquid Pearls (Ranger)
