Post-It note Technique

For this technique I used post-it notes.

Place the post-it on the card at the angle you wish then with cut and foam or makeup sponge apply the ink to the part not covered by the post-it.  Once you have the look you want I then inked up my stamp with Momento black and stamped the images!






Pokertails Emboss Resist

Firstly I inked the Pokertail stamp with Versamark and stamped it onto the silk card.  I cut a piece of a post-it note and placed it top right corner of the card and using a Versamark pen dotted a few dots randomly also on the card.

I used a piece of cut and dry foam and the blue and green ink from my Big and Juicy ink pad 'Mountain Medow' 'and applied the ink over the silk card, I removed the post-it cut circle and with a dry baby wipe I polished over the ink to give a shinny finish!


 

Blockheads Challenge - Emboss Resist Technique Blog Hop

Firstly I inked the Daisy Stamp from Blockheads Paper Arts, with Versamark and stamped it direct to the domino, I then coverd the image with clear embossing powder and heat set using my heat tool.  Once cooled I used a piece of cut and dry foam and a blend of ink from my Big and Juicy ink pad 'Mountain Medow' and applied the ink over the domino.

To finish off my domino I used Hi-Tack 3-D Crystal Lacquer to glue the bamboo beads to each side of the domino and finally thread black ribbon through the bamboo!

To make my Tag: 

Firstly I cut a piece of smooth shinny card from Inkylicious (bought from Create and Craft).  I then inked-up the Daisy Frame stamp from Blockheads using Versamark, stamped image onto the card and sprinkled with clear embossing powder tipping off excess, then heated with heat tool.  

I used the Big and Juicy Mountain Meadow ink pad to colour background using a piece of the cut and foam, once I applied the ink I used  a dry wet wipe to polish over the image this works nicely using the Inkylicious card.  I used a corner punch to round the corners of the card.  I layered it onto a pice of white card stock that I put through my Cuttlebug using the embossing folder 'Bird Call' then using cut and foam and Tim Holtz Distressed Ink 'Bundled Sage' to cover the embossed image, this was layered on to black card stock and again onto white card stock each of these I rounded the corners with corner punch.  To finish off I punched two holes either side and put in gold brads also a piece of white cord!

Tea bag and Tea Strainer, Blockhead Stamps

  Woohoo I got an email from Stacey last night saying I am one of the lucky Blockheads Paper Arts blog candy winners awarded this week!

I made this card to show the Tea bag and Tea bag Strainer stamps that I won.  I used Tim Holtz Distressed Inks, Walnut Stain for the main images and Black Soot for the background. So why not take a break and have a well earned cup of tea!

'Magic Metal' Technique Blog Hop Challenge

I also made this card for Blockheads 'Magic Metal' Technique Blog Hop Challenge using their Maple Leaves Stamp! 

 

Cut a piece of card to fit the stamp. Using Versamark completely cover the card. Using ultrathick embossing powder springle over the inked card and melt with heat tool, repeat this about three or four times to get a nice thickness to stamp your stamp into, once you have done this press the stamp onto the melted embossing powder while its hot to get a nice impression! I cut a piece of mirror board slightly bigger and attached it to the embossed melted card. I used a piece of white cardstock and run this through my Cuttlebug using a embossing folder and edged with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink, Walnut Stain. I attached this to black cardstock, then added two gold brads and some white raffer tied in a knot and edged also with Distressed Ink, Walnut Stain.
