World Cardmaking Day Bonus 2

Having fun playing along with challenges for World Z cardmaking day!

Shout out to Global Design Project for the case the designers Berdien challenge  #GDP516 such a pretty card - I was inspired by the grid layout with the centre sentiment for the focal point. 

I’m playing with the Peaceful Garden bundle as this design was perfect for showing off all the pretty DSP in this suites coordinated paper! I made a card for celebrating someone who’s starting a new adventure!  

Hope you’re having fun in the craftroom today! 

Happy Stampin’

World Cardmaking Day - Bonus edition

Sharing a bonus card today because some challenges caught my eye and I wanted to play along! 

Playing along with the Freshly Made sketches #FMS706. 

As well as the adorable Mood board of Mushroom inspiration over at INKspirational 

I have been dying to play with the Toadstoool Garden DSP and Dappled Dots I grabbed off the last chance list. I’m using the Alphabet A La Mode and Sunshine Vibes dies both current products. 

Came together as a cute little Hello card to send out to let someone know I’m thinking of them. 

Happy Stampin’

World Cardmaking Day Crop over on Scrapbook Nerds!

Come join us over on the Scrapbook Nerds and Friends Facebook group this weekend as we celebrate World Cardmaking Day with challenges, games and prizes!

As guest designer my challenge is to 'Get your Technique On' by creating a project with your favorite paper crafting technique and share with the group - my chosen technique is the polished stone because it is messy  fun and I love myself some messy play!

What you need:

Glossy white paper works best - photo paper works too / Rubbing Alcohol / Cotton balls or pads/ Rubber gloves / Silicone mat or Protectedsurface / Rinkers of choice /

Optional

Gold or Silver Shimmer paint / embossingpowder / versamark ink / Bleach / Paint brush

 Traditional polished stone:

Cut glossy card stock to desired size. Choose re-inker colours that coordinate along with a silver or gold or bronze metallic colour if desired. Wet cotton cosmetic pad with rubbing alcohol and drop a couple drops of re-inking or metallic colours on to cotton pad and then smooch and dab onto the glossy card stock until desired effect is created! Use a dry cotton ball to pick up any unwanted or pooling ink until you have the desired effect. Can speed drying with heat tool or let air dry. Complete card design as desired!

Embossed designed polished stone: 

Create unique patterned backgrounds by first stamping in versamark and embossing the shiny cardstock with background image of choice than doing the polished stone technique over top of the embossed section!

Do it with a Bleach Twist: 

Do step above and then using a paint brush ‘bleach out’ sections of your stamped design and see what magic happens with the bleach – looks specially pretty if you’ve added gold ink.

Card One : Features Vicki Boutins Colour Kaleidoscope So Fun Stamp set and the Beyond Words Patterned Paper  

Card Two: Features the My Favorite Things - Picture Perfect Stamp set .... how adorable are these little animals?

Card Three: Features the My Favorite Things All About You stamp and coordinating die set as well as the My Favorite Things Stacking Rectangles

 

Card Four: Featuring the Photoplay - We Can Just Stay Home - Colour Me Sheet ... these sheets are so awesome for the beginning or avid paper crafter alike. Perfect for the new crafter who does not have a huge stamp collection to get the 'stamped look' on their cards and for the avid crafter they provide a quick project alternative!

Hope you can pop over to the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends and play along!

Happy Stampin'
