Stretch your Dies (day 5) — Masking Stamped Images

By on March 26, 2015 in Paper Crafting

First, stamp your stamp on masking paper. Then air brush (or use distress ink) to color the background. Remove masks, stamp your image….and Voila! This card turned out cute, I think:

I popped up the sun near the bottom of the card…just for a little fun. 🙂

Stretch Your Dies — Masking & Dry embossing

By on March 26, 2015 in Paper Crafting

So this was a fun idea to mask off the shape, then ink in the inside, then dry emboss the dots around the shape. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I loved making this card.

I image those balloons are carrying that funny bird away!

Stretch your Dies (day 7) — Alphabet Dies

Jennifer McGuire showed us a great trick for getting alphabet dies all lined up. I was so happy…and I had to give this one a try right away.

This one is a birthday card for my sister-in-law (she better not see this until after Wednesday!) I thought this one would make her smile.

A little Lawn Fawn alphabet, a Little Paper Smooches bird, a Neat & Tangled embossed sentiment, add some gems….and you get a fun, happy card! And do those letters look well lined up, or what?! (I used a T-ruler and some post-it tape to get them just right) Thanks for a great class today, Jennifer!

Stretch your Dies (day 6) — Inlaid Background using border die

By on March 23, 2015 in Paper Crafting

I’m loving this Online Card Class: Stretch your Dies. I don’t have a lot of dies, so this is right up my alley.

Today I was impressed with Debby Hughes’ technique of using a border die to make an inlaid background. I used a new die from My Favorite Things to do this. This was a fun one!

That “happy” die is from Studio Calico…isn’t is a great font?! I was going to use some sequins on this, but my Liquid Pearls jumped right out at me for this one. I think it’s a happy card.
