Did someone say Sparkle?

Hello again! Its blog posting morning for me.  I have been a bit preoccupied with NCI (Non-Crafting Issues) this week, but I can't let this Simon Says Stamp Sparkle Challenge get away without at least one entry from me.  My name is Stefanie and I am adddicted to Sparkle.... My 12 step mantra in cardmaking.  


I used the You Matter stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp for this card, I first stamped the You and the Sentiment in Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I then cut out the you and glued to a foam You I had also cut out with the die.

I set that aside to dry while I stamped and embossed the mini background stamp called Do You See What I See by Winnie & Walter in Versamark and (you guessed it) embossed it in gold embossing powder. The stamp is smaller, so I actually stamped 2 of them side by side on my cardstock.

I used Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry Distress Inks and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink to color my stamp.  And flicked with some water to activate the ink.

I made sure my sentiment strip was across the whole card as I used it to hide the fact that the background stamp is actually 2 stampings.  I had stamped them close together and cut around them to make it look as it they were one stamp.  I like that I have this option with this stamp, pretty cool.

Finally I glued the You on and added some sparkly hearts.  I used a black background and black accents to make the gold POP!  Hopefully, it pops!

Thanks for listening and hopefully I will have time to attack that second entry tonight...

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

Hey everyone.  Well, I am very lucky as my October Monthly Hero Arts kit came just in time!  I wanted to use the dies on a tag I was making for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  I kept it un-assembled until I received my package yesterday.   This tag is being entered into the  Lawnfawnatics Challenge 14 : Happy Critters  and the  A Blog Named Hero - Calling all Critters .  The Blog Named Hero Challenge is using both Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn products.  I expect to enter more as the October kit and Lawn Fawn play very nicely together! I used Toboggan together set and colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  I made the background out of the mountain range die from the October HA kit.  I used Bristol Smooth paper and first inked it with DO Iced Spruce and Salty Ocean.  I cut it then used the mountain range stamp with white pigment HA ink to stamp some detail.  I also inked the edges of the range with the ink.  I embossed it all with sparkly EP for some shine.  I also stamped some snow

SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own Background

Happy Sunday! Just popping in with my card for the  SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own background .  I had the pleasure of making a simple Thank You card for a friend. I painted the card with layers of watercolored Indigo, attempting to make it look as the card was dipped. I cut 4 Lawn Fawn “Thanks” from 110 lb white paper and glued them together so they would pop. I finished it off with a few water droplets from Studio Katia.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 20- Fun with Food !

Happy New Year!!! So, this year I have resolved to blog on a regular basis. I am currently scouring the internet for a blog planner. Any assistance is much appreciated! Today I am showing you my entry into   Lawnfawnatics Challenge 20 :  Fun with food!! I think Lawn Fawn has the best food stamps, and I was lucky to get “Baked with Love” stamp set for Christmas.  I am also entering this into the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : A Spot of Blue. This is a birthday card for hubby as he likes CAS cards.  Also, this is the very first card I used masking on! Santa forgot the coordinating dies and I was forced to try masking. Which is also on my 2018 list of crafty things to try.   I stamped the images with Simon says Stamp black ink and colored with Copics and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used a white pen for highlights and Glossy Accents on the heart and cupcake frosting which does not photograph at all!  I propped the card onto some lipstick red paper and mounted on
