Episode 88: Potato Chip Card

Yep!  I said Potato Chip card.  My cousin wanted a card for her nephew who she lovingly calls 'Nick Nick Potato Chip'.  Hence a potato chip card.  See, there is a reason for everything.  :)  I hope you enjoy this card.  I did use the Cricut Craft Room to make my potato chip bag.  I can't wait until all the bugs are fixed, this will be a GREAT tool, especially for Imagine users.  Enjoy!

EEEK!

This project is made for the Paper Playtime Challenge.  The challenge is to make a Halloween project.  Theresa, the Scrapbooking Queen, is giving away some Action Wobbles.  LOVE Action Wobbles.  :)  This is a very simply Halloween card.  I cut out the monster from the Bump in the Night Cricut Lite cartridge.  This has some adorable monsters on this cart.  He is cut at 3.6".  I use the Peachy Keen Monster Mash Face stamp set for the face and the My Pink Stampers Spooky Puns stamp set for the sentiment.  I just stamped the EEEK! over and over again on a white strip.

Thank You Cards for Men

Here are a couple of thank you cards I made and are great to give to men.  The designer paper is from the DCWV Rustic paper pack.  I did try a new technique on this one and it is embossing on buttons.  Press your button on Versamark Ink then dip your button in the embossing powder to make sure that only the edges get the powder on it.  Then heat set it.  I got embossing powder in the middle of one of the buttons.  Luckily it looks alright.  :)  I really like the look of this.  It adds a great embellishment that looks very designer.  I learned this from Jennifer McGuire as well.  Enjoy!

Episode 86: Different Techniques for Simple Cards

Here are a couple of simple cards that I made up last night.  The first one is stamping with pearlized water.  To get the effect cover your cardstock w/ distress ink.  It reacts to water amazingly.  Spray your stamp with a Mini Mister filled with water and Perfect Pearls.  I used the color perfect pearls.  Stamp directly onto the color cardstock.  It will leave an outline and a pearly essence on the card.  Really pretty.  More details are in the video.



The next card I stamped a background stamp w/ Versamark on acetate paper and put white embossing powder on it.  Then decorated.   I like the way it turned out.  Would be a great boy b-day card.


I learned these techniques from Jennifer McGuire.  You can see her blog HERE.
