Monstrous Birthday!

Written by Valerie Ward. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects)

‘Morning, Crafters! Valerie here today! Hey, wanted to let you know that my new, facelifted blog is up & running! I hope you’ll stop by & check it out!

OK, on to my project this week! Ever want to just stamp in pretty colors and not have to color? Well these sets today are FABULOUS for that. I combined 2 My Favorite Things stamp & die sets: the Monster Love die set & coordinating Die-namics set, and the Celebrate with Cake stamp set and coordinating Die-namics set (now, AFTER I completed making the card, I was mortified to find we don’t have 3 of those 4 products in our store anymore; but I will continue with this post because the other products I used ARE in the store, and I think this is still good inspiration for those other solid image sets we DO carry!).

The images are stamped using 5 Lawn Fawn Premium Dye Ink Pads: Lobster, Fish Tank, Sunflower, Manatee, and Black Licorice. I used my wonderful Mini Misti to stamp the images nice & straight, and exactly where I wanted them; there are many wonderful Misti products to choose from now – check them out!

The black frame is created using an Avery Elle die set. And the embossed border on the inside is from Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Borders die set. Pretty Pink Posh is the name of the game for the sequins on this card; I’m featuring 3mm Sparkling Clear Cupped sequins, 11mm Silver Stars, and 4mm Silly Eyes.

Thank you for stopping by; I’m sorry some (only SOME!) of the products aren’t in the store, but I hope this was good inspiration for you anyway! Have a wonderful day!

I Hope It’s Magical

Well HELLO, MarkerPop Fans! Guess who THIS is… Valerie, and I’M BACK! I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed the MarkerPop World the past few months, but I’m all settled in to my new home (in a great suburb next door to Iowa City), and I’m READY to get crafting again! I was THRILLED when my friend, Holly (the MarlerPop Design Team Leader), asked me if I’d like to come back; it was a quick and easy “Yes!” for me. So anyway, today I’m working with a bunch of great new products from My Favorite Things!

I created an adorable Birthday Card, and the main features of this card are the MFT Knight in Shining Armor stamp set & coordinating Die-namics set; I used a ton of other MFT products, also, and you can see them in the supply list below.

One of the fun things about this card is pulling the sentiment out! You can do this very easily to any card using MFT’s great new Slider Channel Builder Die-namics set.

The images are all stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, onto X-Press It Blending Card Paper, and colored with Copic markers. I added a little bling with Pretty Pink Posh sequins: Lilac Garden Flower Confetti sequins and Aquamarine Cupped sequins. The background sky and grasses are created using various Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad inks (see specific colors in Supply List below).

I hope you enjoyed this project, and that it gave you some inspiration! Have a great day, and Happy Crafting!

Supplies Used

Organic Blooms

Hi Crafters! Valerie here! I enjoyed coloring this set so much, that I couldn’t stop at one card, so I made two! It’s the Mama Elephant Organic Blooms stamp set.

The first card features yellow roses, and it’s a “Thinking of You” type of card. And the second one, featuring pink roses, can be for any happy occasion, because it says “Happy Everything”!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto X-Press It Blending Card paper (using my Mini Misti), and colored it with Copic Sketch markers (colors listed at the end).

I die cut the X-Press IT paper with the scalloped rectangle die from Mama Elephant’s Creative Cute Basic Die Set. Then I took the largest die from Lawn Fawn’s Small Stitched Rectangle die set and placed it on top of the scalloped die cut piece, and ran it through my Sizzix with all the plates set to make only any embossing of the die on the paper.

The card bases (the black piece and the light blue piece) are die cut using the largest die from Lawn Fawn’s Large Stitched Rectangle die set. The cute little banners are die cut using the small die from Lawn Fawn’s Extra Sentiment Banners die set.

All the sequins are Pretty Pink Posh: 4mm & 6mm Cupped Onyx, 4mm Cupped Marshmallow, 4mm & 6mm Clear Droplets. I painted all the tiny leaves with my Zig Clear Wink of Stella

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!

Woof Bark Happy Birthday!

Hi Crafters! Valerie here, and I’m using Paper Smooches today; I created a fun birthday card! The products I’m featuring are newer and older, and we don’t carry some of them anymore, but I’ll still list all them here:

Paper Smooches stamps & dies, Pretty Pink Posh sequins, Lawn Fawn inks, Copics {ValByDesign, 2016}

I stamped all the images using my Mini Misti stamp tool (love that baby!) (we have the Large size, too!). I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press IT Blending Card Paper, and colored them with my Copic Sketch markers (colors listed at the end).

For the card base background, I stamped the cute sentiments using Lawn Fawn’s Mermaid ink. And the background of the shaker portion has the images stamped using 3 Lawn Fawn inks: Lobster, Manatee, and Black Licorice. I filled the shaker with Pretty Pink Posh cupped sequins (all the colors are listed in the Supply list at the end of the post).

Have a wonderful day, a great week, and Happy Crafting!
