Sparkly Pink Star

FEATURE ITEM - Pebbles Chalks

2012-01-31T23:08:00.000-08:00

Good Morning and Happy February!

Wow! The year is flying by already, it feels like Christmas was just last week!

Scrapbooker's Paradise latest feature item is Pebbles Chalk. Between 1st-15th February, you can pick up the chalks for the special price of $8.99 (Regular $11.50).

If you are ordering online, please quote FICH in the comments section.

Onto my card:

I used the chalk in a few ways. The floral paper was scrunched up when wet and once dry I rubbed the pink chalk into the creases. I used the Shimmer Cream Chalk. I also used this chalk along the edges of the cardstock and flowers and you cannot see it very well in the picture, but there is a piece of cardstock above the ribbon which has resist on it. I rubbed the cream chalk directly over it and changed the colour of the paper to pink but the resist stayed as is!

The pink flower was made with chalks. I used the regular hard chalks to create my own paper:

To make your own paper:

1) Get a bowl of water

2) Shave pieces of hard chalk into the water

3) Once you have the colours you wish quickly dip your paper into the water and allow to dry!

Be sure to check out my team mate Pam's card to see what she created with chalks and leave a comment on todays post at the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog for a chance to win your own set of chalks!

Bear Album

2011-12-05T16:35:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I made an album recently to go on display at work. The album is the Bear Mini Album from FabScraps.

To begin with it looks like this:

and this is my take on it!

This was a fun album to make, I love making Mini Albums! There are lots of tricky pieces to cut out especially on the bear side so to get the sparkly brown edges I painted it with Distress Stain by Ranger (I am not sure if I used Vintage Photo or Walnut Stain!) and then I painted over it with Tattered Angels Espresso Glimmer Glam. It looks really uneven when wet but looks great when finished!

The paper collection I used was a new one by Jillibean Soup - Hearty Barley!

Thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think!

Feature Item - Sizzix Ink Its

2011-12-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I have a card to share with you today using a Sizzix Ink Its Plate. I have never used these before today but it gives a really nice deep impression and it was easy to use.

"Ink-its Letterpress Plates combine style and ease to create artful ink-debossed impressions. This easy process impresses paper, cardstock, chipboard, mat board and other soft, thick materials"

From the 1st - 15th December, these are Scrapbooker's Paradise latest Feature Item and you can pick them up for the special price of $5.99 instead of $7.50. If you are ordering online, just type FINK in the comments section of your order!

I tried using a few different types of ink but found Versafine to work the best. Versafine is an oil based pigment ink and it held on to the plate and transferred really well. Versafine is always my go to ink, its my favourite black ink.

I use the Cuttlebug and used the following sandwich:

(from the bottom up)

A plate

Ink Its plate....impression up

Cardstock

A thin piece of foam

B plate

I tried a few types of paper but liked the watercolour paper the best, I love the thickness and texture of watercolour paper plus it was an off white and matched my Basic Grey Paper and off white flowers a little better!

My new team mate Pam has made a project with the music note ink it plate....be sure to check out her blog here! And then go and leave a comment on todays post at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog for a chance to win your own Sizzix Ink Its Plate!

My Christmas cards did not quite go to plan this year, between being super busy and coming down with the flu and Tonsilitus this past two weeks, I only managed to make a few! But I will take some photos and load them here soon!!

Enjoy your day - thanks for stopping by!

Feature Item - Alcohol Inks and Giveaway

2011-11-01T00:01:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I have a card (two actually!) to share with you using Scrapbooker's Paradise latest feature Item - Ranger Alcohol Inks. Between Nov 1st (wow can you believe it's November!) and Nov 15th, you can pick up Ranger Alcohol Inks for the special price of $10.25 - Regular Price $12.99. Just quote FIAI in the comments section of your online order.

I am not often a messy ink crafter but I do have fun when I get these out to play!

This card I had cut down several pieces of glossy paper and coloured one with greens, one with browns and one with reds. I then cut them out into little squares or die cut them with the Sizzix movers and shapers. I also used the gold mixiture to paint the flower.

Crackle Accents applied to the numbers.

This card was a first for me, I don't think I have ever made a one layer card! I did stick some flowers on with glue dots but it did not look right and then when I pulled them off it took of the shine from the paper so it looked a little odd. I added some more gold and stamped some butterflies to try and patch it up!! I stamped with Archival Ink and then put the gold mixitive on an ink blending tool and used that as an ink pad to ink up my splatter stamp!

Laura has made an awesome card over at her blog, once you visit her blog go and visit the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog, leave a comment on today's post and you will be entered to win an alcohol ink package of your choice!

Enjoy your week!

Featured Item - Tim Holtz Distress Ink and Giveaway

2011-09-30T23:45:00.000-07:00

Hello!

It is time for a new Feature Item at Scrapbooker's Paradise - this time it is Tim Holtz Distress Inks by Ranger. From October 1st - 15th, they are only $5.50 (regular $6.50) just quote FIDI in the comments section of your online order.

Here is my Halloween card:

To create the background, I stamped the spider webs and embossed with black embossing powder. I covered the whole image with Milled Lavender Distress Ink straight from the pad and poured on clear embossing powder. Distress Inks stay wetter longer which allow you to emboss with them. I repeated this process until I had 5 layers of clear embossing powder (this process can be eliminated if you have UTEE....ultra thick embossing powder, I really need to buy it!!). I then put the pieces in the freezer for 5 minutes and as soon as I took it out of the freezer, folded the paper to crack the paper. I covered the whole image in Black Soot distress ink and used a damp cloth to wipe it off again, the ink would have seeped into the cracks.

To create the tag, I stamped the French Collage Stamp in white paint with the dabber and set it with heat. I used a mixture of Milled Lavendar, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves (limited edition colour), Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon (limited edition colour), Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs (limited edition colour) and Black Soot and used my ink blending tool to blend all the colours together. I took a damp cloth to wipe the excess off so the white paint shows through. I stamped the bats onto the tag, die cut two more bats from the Movers and Shapers which I applied Glossy Accents too. And applied some jewels and ribbon.

And lastly, the halloween tag. The die cut was cut from the Mini Labels Movers and Shapers. I stamped the Happy Halloween and heat embossed with black embossing powder and then blended Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon (limited edition colour).

SUPPLIES

Ranger - Distress Inks in Black Soot, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo, Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender and Limited Edition Fall Colours (sold out at present, check back soon when he makes the additional batch!), Manila Tags, Paint Dabber in Snow Cap, Glossy Accents and Ink Blending Tool.

Stampers Anonymous - French Collage Wood Stamp and Mini Halloween Cling

Stampendous - Black and Clear Embossing Powder

Sizzix - Movers and Shapers in Mini Bat and Skull and Mini Labels

American Crafts - Black Ribbon

We R Memory Keepers - Bakers Twine

Misc - Orange Ribbon

2011-09-01T16:01:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I finally made it into my craft room this week and was able to play...I only got one card but that's better than none!

I was not sure what to make so I took my book of stamps and picked a random page and made a card with that stamp! I happen to land on stamp I bought on Etsy by Unity. I believe it was one of their Kit of the Months but I really liked this image so just got the one instead of the kit!

So here is my card:

The chapel was coloured with Copics with the blue part and the heart paper pierced.

SUPPLIES

My Minds Eye Paper, Unity Stamp, Darcie Stamp, Fiskars Treading Water Punch and Copic Markers.

Have a wonderful day!

FEATURE ITEM - Sew Easy Tool and GIVEAWAY

2011-09-01T00:01:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I have a card to share with you today using Scrapbooker's Paradise latest Feature Product.
Their latest feature item is We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Stich Piercer. From the 1st to 15th September, this Stitch Piercer is on special for $8.50 (Regular $9.99). Just quote FISE in the comments section of your online order!

Sew Easy is a rotary stitch piercer which creates perfectly aligned holes that can easily be stitched up. There are lots of different interchangeable heads from scallops to flowers. (Click Here for a stitching guide by We R Memory Keepers. This shows you a few of the heads you can get). This is the perfect way to get stitching on your projects if you do not have a sewing machine, or if like me you cannot figure out how to use the sewing machine!!

Here is the card I created using the Zig Zag Piercer and the Blissful collection by Authentique:

I cut 3 different sheets of paper into 1.5 inch squares and adhered them to the card. I then used the stitch piercer to create the holes and the sewed the floss through. I tied a bow around the card and attached the flower that I had cut out from the Blissful paper pad. I cut the heart out from the Mover's and Shapers die and attached the rest of the pieces to the card. To add something else to the card, I applied stickles to the flower and glossy accents to several of the Polka Dots. And as I always do, I added some jewels to finish off the card!

My team mate Laura has made an awesome card also using this tool. Be sure to check out her creation HERE. Once you have visited Laura's blog, click HERE to return to Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog and leave a comment for your chance to win your own We R Memory Keeper's Stitch Piercer Tool.

FEATURE ITEM - Versamark and GIVEAWAY

2011-07-30T23:11:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I have a card to share with you today using Scrapbooker's Paradise latest Feature Item - Versamark!! From August 1st - August 15th, Versamark is on for a special price of $8.99 (regular price $10.50) just quote FIVM in the comments section of your online order!

Here is my card:

Versamark is great, you can use it for so many things. I used it here to clear emboss the base of the card and the sentiment. And all three flowers were embossed with embossing powder.

1) For the base of the card, stamp the script stamp (Tim Holtz) several times in versamark. It will remain tacky for a while so you do not have to rush. Once the whole card is covered (you do not have to stamp the middle as it will be hidden) pour over clear embossing powder and heat with your heat tool. Also do this for the sentiement.

2) Die cut a heart out of polka dot paper ( I used my Cricut) and cover each dot with Glossy Accents. Allow to dry and it will make the polka dots look raised.

3) Take three white flowers. Put flower upside down in Versamark and allow to fully saturate, pour embossing powder over it, shake off excess and heat with heat tool.

I love these embossing powders by Stampendous - see the multi coloured shabby look!

4) Once the polka dots on the heart die cut are dry, start putting together the card including the ribbon and flowers. To finish apply glossy accents to the outer heart and apply pearls and sequins.

GCD Studios - Paris 8x8 Paper Pad

Hello!!

Long time.....sorry I have been missing, I was back home in England for a month and just getting back into the swing of things!

So I am back with a card I created for the latest feature item over at Scrapbooker's Paradise! This week's feature item at Scrapbooker's Paradise is Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks - now NOW $5.50 (Regular $6.50)To get the discount at the online store type FIDI in the comment section!

Whilst on vacation I dropped my camera so I am unable to make videos at the moment. I have done my best to take pictures to show you how I made this card!

I cut the tag from Sizzix Tags and Bookplates and inked the whole tag with Weathered Wood using Ranger's Ink Blending Tool.

then inked the edges with Stormy Sky

and then inked the edges again with Chipped Sapphire

I used the Sizzix Mini Labels die to cut the tag.

I inked the whole tag with Old Paper Distress Ink

and then inked the edges with Brushed Corduroy

and then with Vintage Photo

I repeated both processes to colour the flowers

On the blue tag, I inked up Hero Arts Fabric Design cling stamp with Versafine Ink and then sprayed it with Ranger Perfect Pearls in Pearl mist and stamped this onto the tag.

I then inked up a polka dot stamp (this one is from Cornish Heritage Farms) with Brushed Corduroy and stamped it onto the tag.

I stamped the sentiment from My Favorite Things - More Essential Sentiments with black ink onto the tag and attached the tags and flowers to the card.

I used the Imaginisce iRock Tool, Compact Jewels and stencil to attach the jewels

I placed extra jewels in between the stenciled jewels

And then to finish it off I added a Prima Pebble to the brown flower!

Sara has created a project using distress inks too, make sure you go and check it out! And once you have, visit the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog, leave a comment for your chance to win a Distress Ink of your choice!

Featured Item - Tim Holtz Texture Fades and GIVEAWAY!

2011-01-31T23:01:00.000-08:00

Hello!

Sorry I have not been around, its been a crazy busy week and I cannot believe its February tomorrow. Time is flying by!

I have two cards to show you today. Tim Holtz Texture Fades are Scrapbooker's Paradise Feature Item from 1st-15th February where you can purchase them for $11.25 (Regular $13.99).

The first card was created using the Branch Tree embossing folder from the Branch Tree and Tall Pines Texture Fades set.

I saw this sheet of paper from Fancy Pants

and wanted to create something similar and smaller for a card.

I embossed and cut the tree out. Punched lots of little hearts out with a punch which I coated in glossy accents and placed them randomly around the tree. I then added little jewels from Imaginisce with my iRock (I cannot seem to create anything without adding some clear jewels!). All pieces were inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

The second card is another embossed card using the Damask and Regal Flourishes

folder (this is not part of the featured item) but I thought I would show another card using Tim's embossing folders!

Supplies for I LOVE YOU card

Fancy Pants - Love Birds Birds on a Wire and In Love Paper

Sizzix - Tim Holtz - Branch Tree and Tall Pines Texture Fades set

Ranger - Glossy Accents and Walnut Stain Distress Ink

Imaginisce - iRock Tool and Compact Jewels

Making Memories - Je t'Adore Vintage Tickets and Je t'Adore Red Ledger

EK Success - Open Scallop Edger

HobbyCraft (UK) - Small Heart Punch

Misc - Heart Punch

Supplies for BE MINE Card

Making Memories - Je t'Adore Vintage Tickets, Red Ledger, Pattern Hearts and Tres Jolie Collage

Fancy Pants - Love Birds Sending My love and Sweetheart

Sizzix - Damask and Regal Flourishes Embossing Folder

Imaginisce - iRock Tool and Compact Jewels

Ranger - Walnut Stain Distress Ink

EK Success - Open Scallop Edger

HobbyCraft (UK) - Small Heart Punch

Misc - Heart Punch

Be sure to pop over to Laura's Blog to see how she created an awesome Birthday card with a Halloween Embossing Folder and then go to the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog and leave a comment and you will be entered to win your own set of Texture Fades! Winner will be announced at the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog on Saturday 5th February!

Thanks for stopping by, have a GREAT day!

And thank you to Andrea at Ink Paper Princess and Anne-Marie at Stamin' Anne for the Stylish blogger award. They both also have amazing blogs with cards, sketches and more! Check them out!

3) My hair is naturally curly but I straighten it 99% of the time.

4) I LOVE pink

5) I miss Target and so happy it is finally coming to Canada soon, now if they could also bring the Cheesecake Factory and an IHOP to Calgary I would be set.

6) I hate wine and Champagne, I really wished I liked it but just don't. I do love Daiquiris though!

7) I love all bad food, burgers, fries, brownies, ice cream, anything junky you can guarantee I love it.

8) I have not (yet!) ever made a 12x12 scrapbook page, there just seems to be way too much space to fill up lol!

Good Morning Everyone!

OMG its less than a week until Christmas and I am still making Christmas cards!! I think I have made them all now, but I went a little crazy this year and bought too much Christmas paper!! I know there will be great new lines released next year and this paper will be old news - so I am trying to use it up to make extra cards, hence I have not made anything new to show you here! I have been digging around my photo folder trying to find ones I have not yet shown and I think this is one of them!

This card was created with dry embossing (the old fashioned way lol!) All supples are by Lasting Impressions and the stamp set Imagine That (it's a local scrapbook store back in England!).

Enjoy your day and last minute shopping!

Feature Item - Alcohol ink!

2010-11-01T00:01:00.000-07:00

My challenge this week for Scrapbooker's Paradise was to design a card with alcohol ink.
From November 1st to November 15th, our Featured Product is Alcohol Ink sets by Ranger. Regularly priced at $12.99, until November 15th you can purchase them for $10.25.
Simply quote ALCOHOL INK FEATURE in the comments section at checkout!

I have never used alcohol ink or ever had any desire to! I am not a fan of messy things and most of my cards are clean, neat and simple so I did not think I would enjoy this challenge but WOW did I have FUN!!!

I had a few colours to choose from and I played with these for 2 hours because I was having such a good time!

One of most favourite things in the world is the little blue box aka Tiffany and Co!

I adore their jewellery and soon became a fan of the Aqua Alcohol ink due to its likeness with Tiffany. That soon became my inspiration for this card - the blue and white as the Tiffany colours and the silver for the jewellery!

I used the Aqua and Silver Mixative Alcohol inks to create the background and to colour in the pearls, flowers and buttons!

My teammate Laura has also taken part in the challenge....go and check out her beautiful cards here!

Supplies:

Ranger Alcohol Ink Applicator ,
Ranger Lakeshore Alcohol Ink Kit,
Ranger Alcohol Mixatives Silver and Gold,

Sorry for the poor lighting, I made this in the evening and sent it early before the sun was out in my spot where I take my pictures! This was made using the New Arrival cartrdige on the Cricut! I love the clean and simple look!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday to You!

I love these little boxes they are so cute! I got the idea and tutorial from www.customcrops.com. I did not follow their measurements as the Hersey Kisses were smaller and I did not use my Cricut, just my score board and Colluzle. They are really simple to make, go and make some for your loved ones for Valentines Day!

Supplies: CardStock: K & Company, Ribbon and Cello Bags: Unknown, Tools: Fiskars Border Punch and Provo Craft Colluzle.

Happy Birthday to you!

I have joined the club.....

2010-01-15T16:48:00.001-08:00

....the ATG gun club!

I used to buy tape runner refills for $1.50 but the cheapest one I can find here in Canada is $7 and that's after paying $10 for the tape runner first! In the long run its a lot cheaper to invest in an ATG gun like several other crafters have. I cannot believe how much money I have paid for this but it came with 12 extra rolls of adhesive (468 yards of tape!!) so I am set for a while!

I won't be updating my blog with cards for a while (again!) as our main computer (which has photoshop etc on) is infected with a virus so I shall be back when its fixed unless I can find the disk to put photo shop on my laptop!

I will get back to you on how the ATG gun works!

Love
