Birthday Card with Miss Kate Cuttables and Mickey!

I am making a quick pop up card with Miss Kate Cuttables. I decided on making a mouse card for someone who loves going to Disney. I love the simple pop up element I used in this card.

Before we get into the instructions on making this card, click HERE to get your daily freebie at Miss Kate Cuttables!!

I used a couple of Miss Kate files: Mouse Uppercase Alphabet and Mouse Balloons.

I did a print and cut with the Mouse Balloons and cut out several balloons. I then went to THIS website to make my pop up element. I used a normal A2card base and inserted the pop up element in the center. I then covered the panels of the inside of the card with some yellow mouse paper I took out of a Disney scrapbooking pack.

I added the balloons I cut out to the pop up element and then went back to my Cameo 3 to cut some letters. I used the Mouse Uppercase Alphabet to type out "Happy Birthday". I then added the sentiment to the inside of my card.

I then use some more goodies from my Disney scrapbooking pack and decorated the front of my card and I was done!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Miss Kate Cuttable's Spinner Winter Card

HI!! I have a great interactive card today. It is a spinner card! I used some great files from Miss Kate Cuttables.  Before we get into the project, don't forget to get the FREEBIE of the day!!  Now on to the project!!

I used the "Christmas Penguin" file to cut the penguin two times. I flipped the one penguin horizontal. Then I used the Swirl Snowflakes Digi Paper to make a piece of paper to fit the front of my card. I sized it 1/4 inch smaller then my A2 card. My digi paper finished size is 4 x 5.25 inch.

I designed my card all on my Cameo 3 by Silhouette.  I made my penguins about 2.5 inches tall and made my hole circle larger, about 3 inches in diameter so the penguin can spin freely. I placed them all on my digital mat and cut all the images at once.

I laid a piece of clear thread across the hole and taped it very securely with scotch tape. Then I placed the thread between the two penguins and glued them to each other. Lastly, I added the digital paper on top and my card was finished. For the sentiment I used, " Winter Word Titles". 

I didn't like the cut I got with the snowflakes on the sentiment so I had to hand trim them off. I also hand trimmed the white border. I cut the words at a length of 4 inches so the snowflakes were too tiny to have all the details in the snowflakes cut properly. If your cutter is up for the challenge, then leave them on. It is your choice!! I also added some Wink of Stella to the letters for a glistening effect. I used foam adhesive to pop up the sentiment when I was finished.

To use the card, you spin the penguin over and over like 30 or 40 times and then shut the card and place it in the envelope. When the recipient opens the card, the little penguin will spin wildly in the opening!! It is great fun for children (and I enjoy a spinner card, truth be told!!).

That is all I have for today! Thanks for joining me and don't forget to sign up for my newsletter!

Later Witches!! With Joy Clair Stamps

It is that time again to start making some Halloween cards!! Joy Clair has a new set called, "Creeping It Real" from the New Release. You can view the whole RELEASE HERE.

I started with a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base. I cut out a 5.5 x 5.5 inch black card stock card front. I gathered some fun Halloween pattern paper to make my card. I also found some scrap purple card stock to mat all my image boxes. I have the main square measuring 3 x 3 inch. (All measurements are for the outer boxes, the inner linings are all 1/8 inch smaller.) The right panel is 2.5 x 5 inch and the left panel is 2 x 3.5 inch. The small sentiment box is 1x2 inch.

After I cut all the papers and decorative papers I adhered them all together. I then stamped my witch image from "Creeping It Real" with some VersaMark and used some black embossing powder on it which I heated to melt the powder.

 I found a circle die that would go around my image and cut it out. (I used some scrap yellow patterned paper for the moon) I mounted it on the black square and added some purple faux enamel dots.

I then cut a scrap paper of some purple and placed it at the bottom of the orange paper and added some other faux color enamel dots.

I added all the elements with some foam adhesive squares for dimension and began working on my sentiment. I used a light white ink to stamp the words, " Later Witches" on my black panel and used a white gel pen to go over it for a hand made look.

 

Thank you for joining me!! I hope you love my Halloween card as much as I do!! Keep Crafting!!

Summer Fun with Miss Kate Cuttables

Today I am making a fun summer card for MKC. These cute popsicles are adorable!! The great thing about this file is you get 4 popsicles to choose from!! I only used 2 of them for this project. I saved the other 2 for another one.

Before we get into the project, don't forget to head over to Miss Kate Cuttables for the DAILY FREEBIE! 

On to the project!!

You can find the designs I used HERE. The file is called "Popsicle Set" but if you don't find one you like in this set you can find more popsicles HERE.

I cut out all my popsicles and glued the layers together and then added a layer of crystal effects over the popsicle parts. I set these aside to dry.

I made some simple backgrounds for these cards since I wanted the main focus on the popsicles. The green card is using a simple dot die cut which I cut out of white and layered over some light green cardstock and mounted on an A2 card base.

For the orange popsicle background I used a dotted embossing folder with white paper and mounted it on an orange A2 card base.

I wanted a simple sentiment that would not take away from my popsicle image. I chose a simple "SWEET" word from "Valentine Word Set". After I cut the word out of black I glued it on the card front. For the green card, I added some glitter pen for some shine.

For the orange one I added some crystal effects over the word "Sweet" to do something different. After I added the dried popsicles to my cards I was finished with these two "sweet" cards! I can use them for a: Thinking of you, Birthday, Summer hello, Graduation card, or a Thank you card. This is a great card to add to your stash for when you need a card in a hurry.

Enjoy!

Joy Clair's Dancing Donut Background

I can't wait for you to see the new release from Joy Clair!! I used a few stamps to make today's card.

But first, be sure to sign up for my newsletters for more projects delivered to your inbox!

I used a fun new background stamp called, "Dancing Donut Background". It is part of Joy Clair's new release which you can view HERE.

I stamped the background stamp on some card stock and trimmed it down to 4 x 5.25 and colored them with markers. I added some crystal accents over the donuts to add shine and dimension. When that dried, I sewed the card panel to a A2 card base using purple thread and a zig zag stitch.



To add some more shine, I used some Rinea Foiled paper to make a cute matching donut tag embellishment. I used the GHOST INK by Rinea and stamped my Dancing Donut Background on the foil. I waited a few minutes and buffed the metal with a napkin with some alcohol on it until the donuts shined though.




I layered the foil tag on top of a pick tag and sewed that tag on top of my card front. I also added a little bit of glossy accents on top of the main donut on the tag and also colored the donut a bit with some brown to have it stand out.




Now to work on the inside of the card!! I stamped a sentiment from another new set from the new release called, "Sprinkled With Love".  I stamped the words with some Stazon black ink. To bring some unity to my card with outside to inside I added some foil. I layered the larger strip with some pink paper to further the continuity.






After doing the inside of the card, you are finished!!



I hope you enjoyed my card and hope you join me again soon for more ideas!!

God's Masterpiece with Joy Clair Stamps

Hi! I'm here with a clean and simple card using the new stamp set by Joy Clair called, "God's Masterpiece". You can find this stamp set and a lot more from this new release HERE.



As you can see, the card is a simple one. I just added a picture of my daughter in the easel frame after I stamped the fun splotches and I was done. (I blurred out my daughter's face for privacy reasons)
Let's make this card!!

• Pick any size card base. I used an A2 but you can do this with any size, 4x6, 5x7 or the one I did 4.25 x5.5.
• Stamp the sentiment, "God's Masterpiece" at the top of the card in black ink. (I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne. You can purchase it at Imagine Crafts.)
• On a scrap piece of paper, stamp the easel and color with some colored pencils or markers. (I used colored pencils from Leisure Arts)
• Cut out the inside frame and add your favorite person or pet in the opening you made.
• For the fun part, stamp the paint splotches from the set all over the card front using your favorite colors. I used a lot of brights for my pallet. Get creative and play with color for different looks.
• Color the letter's in the word, GOD'S with colored pencil to match my stamping. I used Leisure Arts Premium colored pencils. They are so creamy they are like coloring with butter.

• To add some dimension and some shine, I added some Glossy Accents over my splotches. Set aside to dry.
• When dry, add your easel image with some foam tape and you are done! (I used a corner rounder on 2 sides to make the card a bit more interesting, this is optional)

I hope you like my card! Give it a try! For more inspiration subscribe to my newsletter so you don't miss a single idea!
