Happy Everything: A Mash Up

What happens when I have two stamps and can't decide which one to work with?  I use them both and mash them up!

So Grateful

This card uses a combination of two new Penny Black releases: Kind Words and Chalkboard Grateful.  Plus, a new Creative Die Perched.  

     clear_00-000_pkg      cling_4x6_pkg    die1d_30-156
They are all from their Happy Everything catalog.

Here's how the stamps were "mashed" together:

Step 1: Cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the card base and attached a small strip of Fall Festival to the top.

Step 2: Die cut Perched from Clear Skies cardstock and adhere to the top portion of the cardstock.

Step 3: Stamp the sentiment from Kind Words below the die cut in Onyx Black VersaFine.

Step 4: On a separate piece of white cardstock stamp a portion of Chalkboard Grateful in Morocco Memento Luxe.  Trim the piece and adhere across the middle of the previously stamped sentiment.  This will cover the words "Thank You".

Step 5: Attached the finished artwork to the front of the card base with 3-D Foam Tabs.

A great way to give your favorite images another fun look.

Enjoy,
Elizabeth

HAPPY EVERYTHING

Today kicks off a big week at Penny Black!

happy everything  logo

They are revealing their newest release and catalog "Happy Everything".  All during the week they will be sharing peeks of the fabulous stamp designs as well as designer inspiration.  Follow along each day "here" to be the first to see all the colorful happiness ----- and new surprises!

Happy Everything
I am joining in the fun and sharing one of the cards I designed and taught as a make-n-take at CHA. It showcases three of their newest products: Fronds (Large Slapstick Background), After Glow (Creative Dies), and Kind Words (Transparent Sentiment Set).

Here are the instructions so you can join in too.....

1)  Stamp Fronds (40-314) in Wedding Dress Memento Luxe on a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the card base and then set aside to dry.

2)  Die cut lanterns (After Glow 51-034) from Penny Black Mix & Match Cardstocks (Grand Canyon, Blue Lagoon, Rose Garden).  Highlight each lantern with a coordinating ink (Tangelo Memento, Teal Zeal Memento, Lilac Posies Memento) and then pounce each piece with Frost VersaMark Watermark ink.

3)  Thread the lanterns onto black string and drape across the top of the stamped cardstock. Secure the ends of the string to the back of the cardstock. Tuck a small piece of dimensional foam under each lantern.

4)  Stamp the sentiment (Kind Words 30-226) in Onyx Black VersaFine below the lanterns.

5)  Attached the finished artwork to a white card base with dimensional foam tape.

Enjoy all the colorful happiness....

Coffee Filter Flowers

Have fun creating dimensional flowers from coffee filters!

Bouquet of Good Wishes

It's as easy as spritzing coffee filters with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko's Fireworks and stamping with a flower from Penny Black's Flowers Sweet set. 


Instructions
  • Create a 3 ¾ x 5 ½-inch side-folded card from white cardstock.  Trim the upper right corner with a rounding punch.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Onyx Black VersaFine ½-inch from the top of the card and heat emboss with clear powder.
  • Stamp the decorative pattern with Spanish Moss VersaFine on a 3 ¾-inch square of Fern Green cardstock.  Lightly distress the edges with the same ink and a jumbo sponge dauber.
  • Attach the stamped cardstock to the front of the prepared card with dimensional foam.  Set aside.
  • Spray coffee filters with Fireworks.  Let dry.  TIP/HINT: A heat tool can be used to speed drying time.
  • Stamp the flower on the sprayed coffee filters with Onyx Black VersaFine. 
  • Trim the flowers.  Using a needle and thread, sew a basting stitch around the center of each flower.  Pull the thread ends to cinch the flower together and tie off the threads.
  • Place a crystal gem in the center of each flower.
  • Adhere the flowers to the top the elevated green mat.
Enjoy "brewing" a bouquet of blooms!

Stamped Glass Trivets (Tutorial)

One Penny Black stamp and a colorful array of Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks is all it took to make this pair of decorative glass trivets!

Stamped Glass Trivets

Instructions

Clean glass to remove any oils or residue.

Stamp Penny Black's Mosaic on the glass tile in Ivory Black Opaque StazOn.  Let dry.

Mask off the exterior edges of the glass/design to protect the unstamped surface.

Apply a small amount of Matte GlazOn to a Jumbo Dauber and lightly pounce across the stamped image.  Let dry.

Pull inks directly from the StazOn ink pads with Fantastixs and lightly brush on the color. 

TIP/HINTS:  
  • To cover large areas, dip the Fantastix directly into StazOn Wide Mouth Bottles of ink.  The wide-mouth bottles are ideal for re-inking pads when the ink is transferred with Ink Droppers.  The inks can also be mixed to create custom colors.
  • Working in small areas at a time can be helpful when blending two colors.
  • Applying a thin coat of GlazOn between colors will keep them from migrating or blending.
After the coloring has been completed and the inks are fully dried, pounce the whole design with another layer of GlazOn.

To finish the design, use a Jumbo Dauber to pounce on Copper Metallic StazOn.  Let dry.  Repeat two more times.

Remove the masking tape and let dry.  (For decorative use only. Not heat resistant.)

Happy April, happy spring, happy everything!

Supplies:
Penny Black Stamps:  Mosaic (40-101)

An Explosion of Fireworks and VersaMagic

Sharing a card today that I designed for a product challenge for Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko (2012 AIR Design Team) using VersaMagic and Fireworks.

Happy Birthday


Instructions
  1. Create a 3 x 5 ½ inch white card with a top fold.  Stamp “happy birthday” three times across the bottom with Onyx Black VersaFine.  Re-ink the stamp after each impression.  Add small dots between the sentiments with a Tuxedo Black marker.  Set aside.
  2. Using a Jumbo Sponge Dauber, rub Magnolia Bud VersaMagic ink over a 2 x 5 ½ inch piece of white cardstock.  Spray the piece with Danube Blue and Potter’s Clay Fireworks.
  3. Lightly ink the edges using a Jumbo Sponge Dauber and Aegean Blue VersaMagic.  Mat with a 2 ¼ x 5 ½ inch piece of red cardstock and attach to the front of the prepared card with dimensional foam.
  4. On a separate piece of white cardstock, create three circles of color with the Jumbo Sponge Daubers and Aegean Blue and Turquoise Gem VersaMagic inks.  Pat the colored areas with an anti-static embossing pouch.
  5. Stamp the flower three times over the spots of color with VersaMark Watermark ink. Re-ink the stamp after each impression.  Sprinkle with white embossing powder, tap off excess powder and heat set.  Trim the flowers.
  6. Punch three ½” circles from the leftover shaded pieces of cardstock. 
  7. Add highlights to the flowers and circles with Brushstixs randomly alternating between Turquoise Gem, Aegean Blue and Purple Hydrangea VersaMagic inks.  Add decorative dots to the flower petals with a Teal Zeal Memento marker.
  8. Attach the circles to the centers of the flowers with dimensional foam.
  9. Unscrew the cap from the GooseBumps bottle and, using the wand as an applicator, apply a thin coat to the flower centers.  Let dry.    
  10. Adhere the flowers to the front of the prepared card with dimensional foam.

TIP/HINT:  Add a small pocket to the inside to create a space to tuck a gift of money or a certificate for the recipient.

Design Variation:  Without any alterations, this card can be turned and presented with the fold on the left.  This is helpful if design elements added to the inside are vertical.  

Enjoy,
Elizabeth

Tin-spiration (From Trash to Treasure)

I laugh as I look at my recyclables.  They are sorted according to plastic, metal, glass, cardboard/paper and future craft supplies!

Altered Tin

I saved this empty candy tin as it was a lovely shape and size to make this treasure tin.



 

This project was created with just one stamp!
Flower Poetry by Penny Black.



Here is a picture tutorial that shows the metamorphosis from trash to treasure…..



 DSC04354
Platinum StazOn was applied to the tin to give it a silver burnished effect while also covering any manufacturing wording.  Several coats were needed with ample drying time between each application.


DSC04355
Flower Poetry was stamped on white cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine and heat embossed with clear powder.  A circle was die cut from the image to fit the top of the tin.  A second circle of the same size was die cut from cardboard (cereal box) to serve as a reinforcing stability base for the image.

After coloring the image (Copic Markers), Shimmer Creative Medium was spread across the surface to give a subtle, sparkly shine.  Tip/Hint:  Detailed shading is not needed on the flowers/leaves in this step as they will be subsequently covered with additional images.

The colored image was then adhered to the cardboard then attached to the top of the prepared tin with Tombow Power Adhesive Tabs.


 DSC04357
Flower Poetry was stamped two more times on a separate piece of white cardstock in Onyx Black VersaFine and heat embossed with clear powder.  Each set was colored (Copic Markers) and trimmed.  Detailed shading is needed on the leaves from the set on the left and the individual flowers on the right as they will be the elements exposed in the final layering.  A top coat of Peachy Keen watercoloring was added to the individual flowers for a sparkling glow.


DSC04361
A light coating of GooseBumps was added to the back of the flowers to add stability.


DSC04358
The largest grouping of flowers was aligned and adhered to the top of the prepared tin.  Tip/Hint:  Glue was used in strategic areas so portions of the flowers and leaves could be bent to add dimension.


DSC04363
Next, the individual flowers were adhered.  Tip/Hint:  Using a combination of alignment and slight off-setting while adhering the flower elements will add to the visual depth of the design.


DSC04365
The centers of the flowers were accented with Fruit Punch Stickles.
