Antique Phonograph

Hi. It's Debbie back with you from Debbie's Time Out. Today I am going to share another card I did using a couple more dies from the new vintage release. I am featuring the Phonograph and the Distressed Honeycomb which are both from the new vintage collection.

For the card base I matted this beautiful lined paper with roses onto black cardstock. The paper even has a few music notes on it so it was perfect to use with this phonograph. I layered the Distressed Honeycomb to the background. I also cut an extra Distressed Honeycomb and used it as a stencil to ink that pattern to the background as well.

Just look at the detail on this Phonograph I cut it out of a few different colors and then layered accordingly to get the look I wanted.

Here I layered the Notes #1 and the Thank You to the top corner.

This is the Whistle a Happy Tune in gold. I just glued it in a couple of places so it curved and gave it added dimension

I thank you for visiting the blog today and hope I have inspired you to try out some of the new vintage dies. I just love this whole collection. Please take the time to leave a comment and tell me what you think. Comments are always appreciated. Have a wonderful crafty day my friends.

Fuchsia With Love by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Glad to see you here. It is Debbie with you from Debbie's Time Out. Today I am playing with the rose dies but creating fuchsia flowers with them.

It is hard to see in the photo but I embossed the base with the Hearts and Rose Leaves Embossing Plate . I then layer the Large Sunflower Doily in the center of the card.

Next I cut two of the Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath and off set them . I added the Ivy Corner Flourish Die behind and in front of the wreath. I then tucked in the Whistle a Happy Tune and added the Tags 4 to the corner. I colored the birds and inked up a lot of the other elements.

Now for the beautiful fuchsia. I used two of the Tea Rose medium petals and cupped them with my stylus. I then off set and layered them together. I used the Tea Rose small for some to make smaller ones. I used the sepal part of the Large Rose die and curled it upwards for the top of the fuchsia . The sepals of the medium- Rose were used for the smaller fuchsia. A small piece of the medium- Lollipop Fringe Cutie was used for the stamens of the fuchsia.

I always like when you can get several different uses and looks out of one die. So I was impressed when I could create fuchsia from the rose dies. How cool is that! We just really need to play with our dies and imaginations.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and for all the comments you have left on my other projects. I always like to hear what you have to say. Have a crafty day my friends.

Merry Christmas Shaker Gift Bag by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here and today I am sharing some Christmas inspiration using our wonderful Shaker Dies on a gift bag measuring 8" x 10" approx excluding the handles, which I have decorated. So let me take you through the techniques on my die cuts.

I used the Lattice Valance Border at the sides of my bag gluing onto a red strip of card and then mounting onto my cream cardstock, finishing with a border of Red Stickles.

I started my centrepiece by cutting my large Snowflake in half and accenting behind my stacker layer. My Shaker Bells were heat Embossed with an Antique Copper, rubbing a little black Archival ink at the edges to age them. I filled one with Shaker Confetti listed below, small beads and Micro beads, mounting the other to the side as an accent of bells ringing.

My Poinsettia's were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding a mix of Micro beads to the centres. My Robin was shaded with Distress ink and black Liquid Pearls added for his eye.

I added a lot of foliage onto my design and finished off with some Liquid Snow and Glass Glitter for a frosty look that glistens so lovely when it catches the light.

My Merry Christmas was heat embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder for more sparkle. Finishing my bag off with a pretty bow and an accent of lace.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Songbirds are all starting to sing. It's so lovely to hear them happy now that Spring has arrived.....unless it's 5 o'clock in the morning ! So my card today was taken from inspiration of the blossom filled trees and these beautiful birds.

I started by layering up a couple of my stacker dies to form the frame of my card. I love how the inverted scallops give the appearance of a postage stamp edge.

My branches were all cut out in textured Green Cardstock and I went over the branch area with a Brown Copic Pen. I then shaded a small piece of White Cardstock with a few shades of ink and then die cut out my flowers and added a little Stickles into the centres.

My sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper.

My sweet little birds were shaded with Distress inks to look like a Robin and a Blue Tit. I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for their eyes and highlighted the details of the die with a Fine Liner pen. If you google an image of the kind of bird you want to colour on your die, I find this makes it easy to shade them.

Our Current Challenge is Mothers Day and I do hope you get a chance to join in for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the wonderful comments you leave. I love reading them and appreciate them so much.

Dream Card by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here sharing a new card. I've had a lot going on lately (mostly fun but busy) and I wanted to make a fun, lighthearted card. I pulled out my alcohol ink markers (Copics and Shin Han), Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, some of my favorite patterned paper colors and started playing.

The bottom layer is 5 3/4 square piece of patterned paper, topped with a 5 1/2 piece of white paper that I embelished with the Silver Stitching Tool die. I added another patterned paper on top and cut into it with the next largest size of the stitching tool. I love the stitched edge this creates. I then layered the new Pierced Stackers #3, a Royal Scandinavian Oval Doily, and then the top layer is a Silver Stacker from the Oval Classic set.

I cut the smaller Dream word out of the Dream Big Phrase set and glued it to the Paris Signs 4. The beautiful Whistle a Happy Tune note was cut out of gray paper and sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink.

Last I made the pink flowers using the Small Gardenia, distress inks and a stylus tool to mold them. I scrunched the flowers up while they were still wet with ink to get a more distressed crinkly look and after it dried I added extra worn lipstick distress ink to the edges with a foam applicator. The blue daisy was made with the Shasta Daisy die. The edges were sponged with cracked pistachio distress ink and molded with a stylus tool. I cut the leaves from green paper using the new Leafy Flourish die. Yellow rhinestones were glued to the centers of the pink flowers and a blue pearl was added to the daisy to add sparkle.
