THANKS CARD WITH THE PAPER SHELTER

 Hi everyone! Today we have a fun challenge over at 

Our sponsors for today's challenge is:

The Paper Shelter

(prize: 3 digi images of winners choice)

Twinkle Lane Designs

(8 pound store voucher)

For my card I got to use Owl Whisperer from The Paper Shelter. I decided to use the colored image as well as the background paper that was provided. 

I kept the card pretty simple. I embossed a white panel with a 3D cloud embossing folder and ink blended. I added the background paper and colored image. 

For the thanks I did a direct paper ink to create the purple sentiment. I love this as you can get the exact color you want without having to buy new paper.

Hi everyone! Diana here today sharing a fun junk journal page. I've had this Dina Wakely journal form a while now and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I had it and some Rinea foil out on my table and thought why not!

I started by adding some clear gesso to the page to help the different mediums stick and to protect the back side of the journal page. 

Once I spread that over the page and let it dry I pulled out the colors of foil from the misfits pack and started to tear strips.

Over the top of each layer of foil I added I used distress collage medium to adhere them to the page.

Once I had all the foiled pieces where I wanted I started adhering down some tissue paper saying squares. I did trim some down as I didn't want them to completely cover the foiled areas 

I really like the idea of mixed media projects but never seem to know where to go with them. I just started adding different things like spray inks and embossing glaze to add dimension and color without adding tons of bulk. I used a number stencil and ink spray for my next step.

I then added some distress embossing glaze to the wet sprayed areas and embossed them. Being careful not to burn the tissue paper or foiled areas.

I absolutely love how it turned out! I can't wait to start using other products that I have to add to this journal book!

Supplies:

Rinea Foil: misfits pack

Other supplies: gesso, collage medium, distress embossing powder, ink spray, splat box

FATHER'S DAY APRON CARD

 

Hi everyone! Diana here to share a fun card using Rinea earth tones variety pack and Honey Bee stamps and dies.. I was in need of a Father's Day card, so I made this fun BBQ apron card. 

I started by die cutting the apron pieces from Rinea foiled paper and the accessories from white cardstock. 

I then adhered all the pieces to the background cardstock panel that I stamped in two different shades of green/blue and inked the edges with the darker of the two.

I then started coloring all of my accessories with my copic markers. For the utensils I used the same three shades of grey. I used two shades of brown for the bristles. (I now realize I should have moved my glass mat).

I wanted to add some additional color so I added a catsup and mustard bottle. 

Next I stamped, heat embossed, and die cut the main sentiment for my card.

Finally it's time to put the whole card together!

Here's the completed card! 

Supplies: 

Rinea: Earth Tones Variety Pack

Other supplies:

Honeybee: apron die, apron bbq dies, kiss the cook stamps/dies

For my project today I got the pleasure to use Woof You by all dressed up. i really loved getting to color this darling pooch. I pulled out a great set of stencils and a stamp set that I received in a kit from Hedgehog Hollow recently.

Using a light blue ink I blended over the stencils to create the fun paw and bone background. I needed a sentiment so I finished it with this cute love sentiment. I added a bit of the light blue to the outer edges of the dog panel to give a bit more depth.

I finished the card with some fun dew drop embellishments from The Robin's Nest.

Today I'm sharing a card made with Puttin' On The Ritz by Jan's Digi Stamps. Penguins are one of my most favorite animals. I don't know when I fell in love with them but whenever I see an image using them I just have to have it. 

I really wanted him to look like he was walking up to a friend to hand over these beautiful roses. Adding the blue sky and green grass really helped me achieve it. 

Here's a bit of a closer look at the sky. I used distress oxide ink to create the muted color. 

ANGEL THANKS

Prize: 3 digi images of winners choice

For my card today I used ANGEL LULU from Paper Nest Dolls. This image is so sweet. I really enjoyed getting to color her.

I used a fun border die set i have to create the outer scallop and then used the inner piece and my background. To help "ground" her I used a strip of paper in a grey shade and added some die cut banners to the right side.

I wanted to give a more angelic look so I fussy cut her out and popped her up using foam. I added her halo the same way.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS RINEA COLLABORATION W/ CRACKERBOX & SUZY STAMPS

 Hi everyone! Back again today with our second collaboration with 

And

Today I have a fun and sparkling holiday card that's easy to make and can be changed to use what ever you may have on hand.

To create this card I started by die cutting all of my pieces and ink blending the base piece of my card using dark green ink and a blending brush. 

Next I adhered the silver spheres around the edges of the base and added in the gold circles.

I trimmed of the overhanging pieces and added some of the scraps to fill the background in a bit more.

I was originally going to use red/gold foiled paper as my first layer but wanted something a bit less shiny as I have so much amazing foil already. I used a sheet of red cardstock and re cut the base piece. 

I started arranging all of my elements. I did ink blend on the background of the sentiment and the presents so they'd blend in better. 

I added a lot of dimension to this card. Lately it just seems like all my projects need it lol. 

Supplies:

Rinea: Jolly Variety pack

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps: happy holidays, gift pile

Altenew: mid-century frame die, permanent black ink

Catherine Pooler: A-maze-ing mini cover plate die, deck the halls ink

Close to my Heart: milan color pencils, silver shimmer trim

Stampin' Up!: real red and whisper white cardstock
