PaperTrey Ink - Bethlehem


Happy Saturday!

Today, I have the second make-n-take card from 
the women's event through my church.

This one is a simple Christmas card, which uses a die set 
from PaperTrey Ink called Bethlehem.

Like last week's card, I wanted to do something which 
would be easy for everyone.  So this card has a gold leaf
and sponging technique. 


Step 1 - Use a Krylon 18kt gold leaf pen to create a gold 
border on the white 3.75 x 5" cardstock.

Step 2 - Sponge the Bethlehem city with Fine Linen ink 


Step 3 - Stamp sentiment on the sponged Bethlehem.
Then assemble the card with double stick tape.


Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Die: Bethlehem (3 die set)
PaperTrey Ink Stamp Set: Nativity Mini Stamp set
PaperTrey Ink Cardstock: Dark Indigo and White
PTI Inks: Fine Linen and Dark Indigo
Sponge
Krylon 18kt gold leaf pen

Simon Says Stamp - Wild Beauty Birthday


Happy Saturday!

Last weekend, I taught a class for a women's event 
through church.  It was a fun get together to share our
hobbies and talents.  

This is one of 2 cards I made
for the event and the ladies had the opportunity to 
make one of each card.

This card uses a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, 
called Wild Beauty and the sentiment is from a set called 'Happy'.


Step 1 - Stamp the sentiment and flower outlines in black.


Step 2 - Stamp the flowers in Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice
and Spring Rain.


Step 3 - The 3 stems were drawn with a black multi-liner pen 
and white centers were added to the left and middle flower 
with white gel pen.

Step 4 - Sequin detail was added to the base of the flowers.


It turned out to be a fun card to introduce the ladies
to 2-step stamping, especially since some had never stamped before.  
The clear stamps really made it easy for beginners.  
It was a fun project and night of crafts and learning.

Supplies:
Simon Says Stamp Sets: Wild Beauty and Happy

Ink: PTI Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice, Spring Rain and True Black
PaperTrey Ink Cardstock: Hawaiian Shores, White
Lil Inkers Design Die: Stitched rectangles
Copic .8 mm Black multiliner pen
White Sakura Gelly Roll pen
Blue Skies Sequin mix from Fun Stampers Journey
Clear drying glue
Pop dots

Happy Sunday!

I thought I would post today, rather than next Saturday,
because this sweet image is a freebie in August!

asking if I would make a couple cards for her.  

She sent me 2 new images, Honey Bear and Turtle Birthday.
I will have the second card posted in a couple weeks.

On the Railroad

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a masculine card using Tim Holtz set - On the Railroad.

I showed a tutorial using a cling mount 
rubber stamp a couple weeks ago, 
using the We R Memory Keepers Precision Press.

In case you missed it...


Since this stamp comes indexed with the image,  
I placed my cardstock on the base, then positioned the stamp on the paper.


Closed the acrylic cover...


now your stamp is ready for ink...


ink it up...

 Close the cover and press evenly.
So easy.


Now, here is the card I made.  I colored it with chalks and 
added some jute cord and a metal gear embellishment.

Cardstock: PTI Americana, True Black and Kraft
