DT Kerry - All about the Men

Hi there,
Kerry with you today with a, better late than never submission.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Father's Day. Our kids spoilt their dad with a cup of tea in bed and pancakes. He opened all their handmade crafty items they made at school along with this card. His comments were "Ooo it's got lots of sparkly bits....and layers"
Which is exactly the effect I was looking to achieve :) I wanted it to appear as though the plane was flying through the clouds.

I used Lawn Fawn's Plane and Simple stamp set for the plane and little clouds and the Puffy Cloud Border dies to cut the 4 layers of clouds for the inside of the window and the outside edge. The Small Stitched Oval Stackable die came in handy to cut the window which I placed a piece of acetate behind to create the shaker. For the background the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks blended beautifully to shade a sunset/sunrise background - the colours I used were fossilized amber, worn lipstick and broken china. I just love how the blue and pink blend together to give you that purple hue. After I had put in my "Little Things by Lucy's Cards" sequin mix and closed up my shaker, I adhered "dad" to the front. These were also a Lawn Fawn item, Quinn's ABCs" die cut letters cut out of some American Crafts glitter card. Using the LF Small Stitched envelope die, I carried through the theme with a gift card holder. I once again used Lawn Fawn products, the Perfectly Plaid Rainbow paper pack. I continued with the glittery detail by die cutting the "enjoy" to stick on the front and a nice touch with the smoke heart ring on the back.

I hope you enjoyed this card and found some inspiration for a more masculine project. Enjoy your weekend all! Kerry x

DT Teresa - Stencils

Hello!

Our fun theme this month sees us playing with stencils. I own a number of stencils but have not used these great tools as often as I should, so I have really been looking forward to this month!
This card uses Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Smooth Solar White Cardstock for the base which is cut with a paper trimmer at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored with a teflon bone folder at 5 1/2" to make a top folding card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
I took a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and taped it onto my work surface to prevent it from moving and placed the My Favorite Things Stencil - Waves onto the lower half of the piece and taped it in position also. I then swiped Gina K. Designs*Thermoweb Turquoise Sea ink over the stencil with aRanger Blending Tool, creating an ombre effect as I applied the ink more softly towards the bottom of the piece.
I removed the stencil and then did the same with the Tim Holtz Rays Layering Stencil on the top half of the card, this time using Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber and Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I die cut this piece with the stitched rectangle die from My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 using a Sizzix Bigshot Machine.
Using Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Solar White cardstock, I die cut the larger sized Lawn Fawn Say Cheese, Again polaroid frame and cut another frame with Turquoise Sea cardstock from the Gina K. Designs*Thermoweb Island Dream collection. This gave me the blue I needed to place inside the frame. Before cutting the Turquoise Sea cardstock however, I used the My Favorite Things Stencil Waves once again. After taping in place, I used Thermoweb iCraft Decofoil Transfer Gel, smearing it over the stencil with a small craft spatulaand placed aside to dry. Once dry, I foiled the piece using Gina K. Designs*Thermoweb Fancy Foils Turquoise Sea with my Heidi Swapp Minc Machine. As my background had a distressed feel, I decided to distress the foil a little too with a Tim Holtz Retractable Craft Scratcher.
I stamped My Favorite Things Seaside Seagulls with a Mististamping tool in Memento Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Solar White cardstock, diecut and coloured the images withCopic Markers. I stamped the sentiment onto the polaroid frame from the same set using Hero Arts Black dye ink.
To assemble the card, I adhered the stitched rectangle diecut background onto a slightly larger rectangle piece cut from Gina K. Designs*Thermoweb Turquoise Sea cardstock with a paper trimmer using Kokuyo Glue Tape Roller. I adhered a slightly smaller piece of scrap cardstock behind the polaroid frame and placed the Gina K. Designs*Thermoweb Turquoise Sea cardstock square insert foiled piece to this within the frame and stuck the frame to the background piece using 3M Scotch Foam Tape. I popped the seagulls into position and finished off the card with some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins in 4mm and 6mm, adhered with Ranger Multi Medium Matte.
