Shoebox Tuesday

For today's project I have a fairly simple card as it doesn't have any stamping! Bret has a cat that likes to get by the window in my craft room so every so often I have to clean everything around that area as it gets very hairy that means I have to get the stuff out of the boxes and as dusting the shelves and the stuff around is not enough for the things she jump over anyway as I was going through the papers in one of the boxes I saw a bunch of pre-cut card bases with a heart so decided to use them for my project. They were with glossy cardstock on the front and I have never have good luck stamping on glossy paper so decided not to try it as I would not have duplicates and looking at my dies they didn't match my opening since I had already worked for my project for Thursday and I still have my paper pack on the desk decided to use those papers so just needed things to match that so grabbed distress oxide spray picked raspberry did a light spritz when it dried mounted on the brown layer on the inside I mounted the heart paper and a small piece of white for the personal message used a matching pink paper for love which is love cursive die by Savvy Stamps which I cover with Spectrum Noir crystal clear sparkle glitter brush and on the front I also added some Nuvo Crystal Drops gloss party pink

Happy New Year 2020

Happy 7th Day of Christmas and 2020 first day of the New Year and Decade hopefully this year won't go as fast as 2019 LOL

Again with my shaker cards because they are fun and easy to make. For this card I used fireworks stencil by PPP with white Glitz glitter gel by Gina K Designs & Therm-O-Web I tried coloring it with mica spray tarnished brass but it didn't work. The frame was done with double dotted rectangle frames, I die cut my Happy New Year die from The Stamps of Life with Altenew's golden dots washi tape and also a heavy black cardstock for dimension; the gold and silver sequins are from JoAnn, I put a little too much but in person you can still see the fireworks and it shakes really well

These cards were part of my ways with washi tape class homework. For this homework  it was using the washi tape for home decor BUT I don't do home decor so I decided to use the washi tape for another shaker card so I cover the layer off cardstock with the golden dots washi tape by Altenew which I used to die cut the words above and I got the negative piece and well I wasn't going to waste it since I planned the cutting so this was the second card I got. I glued the piece on acetate and then die cut the champagne flutes by Taylored Expressions with black cardstock. Did my shaker card with the same sequins as above this time I didn't put as many as I was more careful 

Happy Independence

Today is Mexico's independence day. I ran out of time or just wasn't ready to get creative so just made this simple card using the smoosh ink technique. I first printed my message with the computer on heavy cardstock then I used distress ink mowed lawn on my glass mat added water and applied it with a piece of acetate,  for the red I spray some candied apple stain on my glass mat and added some water and with another piece of acetate applied the ink to my cardstock after it was dry I cut my layer with double stitched rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness and then added the center of a flag in my center

For today's project we did a simple messy project using sprays. Each one got to pick between 3 colors that I have of Tim Holtz spray stains shaded lilac, candied apple & scatted straw and 3 mica sprays tarnished brass, brushed pewter & antique bronze. Some I used enamel dots to embellish others liquid pearls or Nuvo Drops. The stamping was done with VersaFine Clair nocturne and VersaFine onyx black with tea-rrific stamp of the month by CTMH To anchor the cups I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. We used some sort of shimmer paper

For these two cards were all 3 stains & tarnished brass, I used my gloved finger to rub the ink and because I had added too much I kissed the two pieces so got two with the one inking
