Paper Smooches Hugs & Kisses Card Video

Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing with you a card I made using products by Paper Smooches. As soon as I saw the Hugs and Kisses die set, I wanted to make this card. This card required no stamps, or even ink. This card is the epitome of clean and simple.  The top-folding A2 sized card base is made from Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock. I also used some Neenah 110 lb Solar White and Simon Says Stamp Black. The shaker bits are Mini Prills in the Red color. I accented the card with some Nuvo Crystal drops in Ebony Black. For a list of supplies, a link to my YouTube video, and some photos look below.

Paper Smooches Big Hugs Card Video

Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing with you a card I made using Paper Smooches Products. I used Paper Smooches Huge Hugs 2 Stamp Set and Paper Smooches Hibiscus die. I cut my card base down from a piece of Taylored Expressions Poppy Seed cardstock to 8"x 4" scored and folded at 4" to make a 4"x 4" card base. The Simon Says Stamp Fog Cardstock front panel is cut slightly smaller and popped it up with a piece of craft foam. I used Neenah 110lb Solar White Cardstock to cut out the Paper Smooches Hibiscus Die six times and adhered them together. I inked the flower with a variety of Distress Ink. I stamped the sentiment with Taylored Expressions Poppy Seed ink, then added some Grey Mist Nuvo Drops. Photos of my project, a link to my YouTube video, and links to the supplies I used are below.

The Paper Players #285 "Rain or Shine"

Hello fellow cardmakers, Today I am playing along with The Paper Players on Challenge #285 "Rain or Shine.  I created this colorful card using the stamp set "Spectrum" by Paper Smooches. I stamped the unicorn on PTI Stampers Select White cardstock using Memento Desert Sand then masked it and stamped the rainbow also using Memento Desert Sand. Then I masked the rainbow and stamped the sun using Hero Arts Butter Bar. I ink-blended Butter Bar around the sun and Hero Arts Pool around the unicorn and rainbow.

I used Copic markers in shades of warm gray to color the unicorn and used Copic Spica Atyou Glitter pens to color in the rainbow and hair. The clouds of the rainbow are colored in shades of cool gray. A bit of R20 was used to color in the unicorns ear. I stamped the coordinating clouds from the set on PTI Vellum in Brilliance Starlite Silver and clear embossed them with Hero Arts clear embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped using Versamark Onyx Black. I adhered the clouds using a glue pen just around the rim under the embossed edge. The panel was trimmed and popped up using a sheet of craft foam and placed on some patterned paper from the Fancy Pants pattern paper pack "Beloved".  The card base is standard A2 size using PTI Stampers Select White. The list of supplies is below.

Color Throwdown # 379

Hello fellow cardmakers, today is very exciting... not just because I'm playing in this week's Color Throwdown, but also because I made my very first card making video today. It's something that I've wanted to do for a long time, but never conjured up the courage to do it. Oh yeah, and Happy Valentines Day! As I mentioned in the video, I have been obsessed with rainbows lately, and as such, I have pretty much colored rainbows on every card I've made in the past few weeks, so why not this one too? I made two cards with the same layout but using different techniques for the rainbow die cut. The first using fun foam and the second using an inlaid die technique, which I showed in the video.

Today I am playing in Color Throwdown #379. This weeks colors are Pink, Purple/Mullberry, Metallic Gold, and Hot Pink. My supplies are listed below.

Constructive criticism number one, better lighting. Oh and I need to turn off my TV when filming, hahaha!!  Enjoy!

Cardstock:
PTI- Stampers Select White and Plum Pudding
Avery Elle- Magenta and Pixie
Stampin' Up!- Gold Foil
Simon Says Stamp- Black
Ink:
Versamark
Hero Arts -Black Dye Ink
Embossing Powder:
Ranger- Liquid Platinium
Stamps:
PTI- Beautiful Butterflies and Beautiful Butterfly layers
Dies:
PTI- Beautiful Butterflies
Paper Smooches- Rainbow

Have a wonderful week and stay warm! Thanks for being here.

Simon Says Something New

My card for the Simon Says Something New Wednesday Challenge is pictured below using the Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals Stamp Set and matching dies. I have created a card for my new husband (we just got married this past summer).

I stamped my two love birds on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them using Copic markers. I die cut them using their coordinating die. My sentiment was custom made using the Clearly Besotted Many Mini Messages set. I stamped it on Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock using VersaMark ink and I used Hero Arts White embossing powder to heat emboss it. The "kissie-face" was created using ColorBox chalk ink in Berrylicious and I used generation stamping to get the gradient effect.

The background was created starting with a piece of embossed paper by Stampin' Up! I used Distress ink in Picked Raspberry to bring the pink into the background. I die cut a heart into my front panel and propped it up with foam tape. The scribble heart was die cut using a Tim Holtz Alterations Scribbles and Splats Thinlits die out of EK tools woodgrain paper.

The card base is made of a top folding A2 size piece of Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock. I used the stripes from the Avery Elle Knotty Stamp Set and VersaMark ink to clear emboss the stripes on the side using Wow Clear Matte Dull embossing powder. This was accomplished only because I used the Misti Stamping tool. Without it, I would have been lost.

I have linked to as many products as possible down below.

Thanks for clicking on my card, come back soon.
