Pink Birthday - Pawsome Stamps

 Happy weekend everyone!  Poppin' on in to share a birthday card I made featuring products from Pawsome Stamps.  They have been sitting in my stash waiting for me to finally use them.  The time has come at long last!  I am using Bday Cupcakes stamps and Rays of Sunshine background stencil.

Step one was to stamp and cut out some masks.  Next I stamp the base, cupcake, HB2U sign and candle onto my white panel.  Then I added the masks on top.

Next I picked out three different pink Distress Inks.  I chose Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar.  I taped my card panel to the Rays of Sunshine stencil and got to ink blending.

I also mixed some of the inks with a shimmer spray and added splatters.  Once the splatters were dry, I removed the masks.

I grabbed several Copics and shaded the "cake" part of the cupcake.  I stamped the cupcake again onto two different papers from the Doodlebug Sweet Things collection.  I took my scissors and fussy cut the pink frosting out and the cupcake wrapper.  I did add a bit of shading to the wrapper with gray Copics.  I glued these onto the cupcake on the panel.  I used gray Copics to color the base, mints to color the candle, yellow for the flame and pinks for the sign.  

For a little extra detail I added Unicorn Stickles to the flame, Stardust Stickles to the pink frosting and Stardust Glitter Pen to the stand.

And the final card.

That's it for me today!  May your day be excellent!

Snowflake trio

Hello friends!!  I couldn't make up my mind what kind of cards I wanted to make today so I just grabbed lots of different goodies.  I like to think it paid off since I came up with three different designs!  And each card has one thing in common, the Slimline Snowflake Corner stencil.  

Let's talk cards.  Here is the first card created.

I know you are like, Kristina, I don't see that snowflake stencil!  Well, let's start at the beginning shall we?

I grabbed the Christmas Mica Distress Stain sprays and the Slimline Snowflake stencil.  I created the piece on the far right first.  Then I misted the stencil before cleaning with some water.  I put it down on a piece of white cardstock.  It turned into the middle piece.  I put it down several times all over the paper.  And then we have the piece on the left.  I first spritzed the cardstock with the mica sprays.  Once it was dry, I layed the stencil on top and sprayed again with mica sprays.

Back to cardmaking.  I used the Slimline Snowflake Coverplate die to cut out a piece of white cardstock.  I added liquid glue to adhere it on top of the mica stained piece and I cut off the excess.

I layered it onto a pink slimline layer and then I added it to a white slimline card base.  Now I dug into the rest of my Scrappy Tails stash to find some sentiments.  I combined pieces from the Cardinal Blessings and Fairy Sentiments set.  I stamped "Hope you have a" and "Christmas" from the Cardinal Blessings set in black ink onto pink cardstock.  I cut them down with scissors into strips. 

"Magical" was stamped with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink because I wanted to emboss it.  I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and melted it with the heat tool.  Once it was completely cool I cut it out with the Fairy Sentiments dies.  I love how it cuts out all the swirly bits of the first letter in the word!  Then I just adhered them to the card panel.

Let's move on to my second card!  For this card I used the slimline piece where the snowflake stencil image was very defined (see panel on the far right above).

This panel was already pretty darn gorgeous so I wanted to limit the amount of things I added to it.  First I cut it down to a mini slimline size.  Next I pulled out some foil cardstocks in my stash that worked well with the panel.  Then I dug around in my Scrappy Tails stash.  I found this beautiful deer in the Winter Essentials die set along with the winter wishes words.

I simply cut them out and glued them to the stenciled panel and added it to a gray mini slimline card base.  And card number two is done!

Which bring us to the third and final card.

All I have left is the A2 sized card panel (middle panel from above).  It was another case of a lovely background piece I didn't want to cover up!  So, I cut it down a bit with a deckle edge die and added it to light teal card base.  Want to guess what I did next?  Yep, dug around in my Scrappy Tails stash.  I found a gem too!  The Hot Foil Christmas Sentiment dies and the Coordinating Sentiment dies.  

I used the Christmas Sentiment die with a piece of turquoise foil and hot foiled it onto a piece of navy cardstock.  Next I cut it out with the coordinating sentiment dies.  I added foam tape pieces to the back of the foil sentiment and adhered it to the card.  That's it.  Third card complete.

Thanks so much for visiting my corner of the crafty world!  

Toodles!

This card is jam packed with lots of the new products from the Harvest Blessings release.  Detailed Multi Layered Sunflower stencil and die, A7 Harvest Blessing cover plate die, Wild Sunflowers stamp set, and a few older items A7 Book Pop Up die and Starry Night stencils.

Step one: Use the Multi Layerd Sunflower stencil with inks and blending brushes. For the final flower layer I added some gold glitter paste.

Step two: Use Wild Sunflowers stamp with brown ink to cover cardstock panel.

Step three: Splatter panel generously with white and gold splatters.

Step four: Cut gold glitter cardstock using one of the dies from the A7 Book Pop Up die set. Adhere to panel.

Step five: Add brown ink around edges of sunflower. Also add brown splatter.

Step six: Put it all together. I did heat emboss the word "Autumn" from the Wild Sunflowers stamp set in gold. I popped it up with foam tape before adding it to the card.

Step seven: admire your pretty card!

Since I had still had the stencil out on my desk, I went ahead and created a second card with a totally different look!
