Card Making Day

Well, I used today to get some cards in.  I completed 3 cards and a Booklet today, most of which I used the new product that came in the box.  Remember watch HSN on July 11th for the crafting special and you can pick up some of these items.  Hope you enjoy, any questions let me know and Happy Crafting.....! I used the Spectrum Noir Markers and did the splatter tech on the background, also use the Happy Birthday Die.   This one I used the Fabulous Die, Dressed to Impress Die, the Venetian Mirror Die and the White Perals.  I love how the shadow look turned out. With July 4th a couple of days away just had to make a 4th of July card using the Crafter's Companion July 4th Sentiments. The only thing I used out of the box was a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Marker in Light Blue. This is a faux leather Booklet.  I wanted to test out the Gemini Machine and she how the 3D embossing folders would work.  It held up pretty good if you ask me.  I did u

Crafter's Companion Box ( video )

Welcome everyone, I am back from Vacation and ready to craft. When I returned I had a Crafter's Companion Box waiting for me ( Happy Dance ).  I tried something new this time, did a video on the items so you can see.  These items will be on HSN on July 11th along with others, so if you like something you see please tune into HSN .  Please remember to order fast because I am sure we will have some sell outs ( as always ).  I will also be doing a couple of Blogs with the new items.  Remember to watch HSN on July 11, 2017

Wonder Women Glitter Tumbler

Ok everyone taking a break from card making for a minute.  I started making a Glitter Tumbler with Wonder Woman on it and I love it.  I am using a 20oz tumbler along with glitter Red, Blue and Gold.  I will put a full list of items used below with pictures.   Now this was very fun to make but I have to tell you it took awhile.  Between glitter coats you have to wait a least an hour to dry and you will have to do two to three coat.  Then putting on Amazing Glaze you have to wait over night and it will take two coats, and after the 1st coat you will also need to do a wet sand. On the Mod Poodge I changed my mine I use the Dishwasher Safe Gloss.  Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe If you want to see the silver at the bottom of the cup then tap off with Electric Tap. Once you have taped off the bottom you can start to apply the Mod Podge with a Sponge Brush Add the glitter to the cup don't worry if you can see the cup under because you will be doing one to two more coats

Fathers Day

Hey everyone and welcome back.  Well, we all know that Father's Day is not that far away, so this weekend I took some time to start on a couple of Father's Day cards.  The following is the 1st one that is completed and it turned out pretty good. I am working on the photo put so that is why I have posted so many.  I love the way the photo turn out, but I have a problem picking which ones I like the best.  Making decisions is a problem I have always had.  I tried to stick to what you might think as colors for men, so with that in mind, I used black card stock as the main card then did layers with Cream, back to Black and green, I then put a cream section inside the card for a message to be hand written.  This is the 1st time I have used more the two layers and I really like it, will be doing this more in the future .  The cogs is a stamp that I colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I fussy cut and frayed the edges with the scissors. I love the frayed look on this stamp because

Like Sunshine to my Soul / Enjoy ever Moment / A little something Just for You

Hello and welcome back.  I would like to share a couple of cards I did today.  I used the  Crafters Companion items that I purchase on HSN   24 event back in May.  Just a little note Crafters Companion will be back on HSN in July, can't wait to see what new stuff they will be offering.  This card I used the 3D Embossing Folders which are Great.  The impression is so deep.  This is on HSN  as a bundle.  You have to check it out, you get so much for a price.  Great deal!!!  With the following card if you are new to card making this would be a great way for you to start.  The 1st layer with all of the flowers on it is a coloring page from the Spectrum Noir coloring kits from HSN .  The kit is a great deal and comes with the markers just color, add a sentiment and you have a card.  The set of sentiments came in the bundle with the 3D Embossing folders that I spoke about with the above card.  The markers are incredible and they are so juicy.   Now I did one

I love this card.  Now I do need to tell you I did not do this alone, my granddaughter Bella helped out.  She loves to help and when I tell her she can help with making cards she is so excited.  On this card I let her do the Alcohol spray color on to the white water color paper.  I have to say she only likes doing the fun things.  She likes to stamp and spray color the rest is all up to nana, but I do have to say I love letting her help.  She is a crafter in the making. She is really trying to get to the sewing machines so I am sure that is in the near future. Thanks for stopping by as always any questions please let me know and Happy Crafting.
