Birdie Card for Sketch Challenge + Process Video for Hello #Baby 12" x 12" Scrapbook Page

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a simple card for a team and sketch challenge...

I used CTMH D1920 You Make Me Happy stamp set. Initially, I was going to color the bird image, but my markers were too dark, so I decided to leave it as is...the kid that receives this card could color it for fun!

If you purchase the stamp set, CTMH will donate $7 to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children around the world.

Challenges:

1. Atlantic Hearts Sketch #376

2. WordArtWed #446-#447: AGoes

***************

I made this scrapbook page last week, and today I have the Process Video up on YouTube:

Hope you enjoy it! And please, like and subscribe! Thank you so much!!!

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #115: Star Rosette Gift Box Topper

(I have 2 posts today...if you're looking for my MHK Designs project's post, please click HERE)

Hello, crafty friends!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate! You can create anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda!

This will be my last project for DTC...I made a shabby chic star rosette gift box topper...long name...I know!

The star is a chipboard star (Lace-Ups: Celebrations, Stars from EyeConnect Crafts), and I altered it with UTEE (Ranger) and a stamp (Penny Black Ink).

I made the rosette from crepe paper, and added some spray ink (Walnut Ink - Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko) and glitter.

Challenges:

1. Love to Scrap! #67: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

2. Craft Your Passion #291: Always Anything Goes

3. Word Art Wed #213: Anything Goes

4. Simon Says Mon Holly Jolly Stamping

5. Simon Says Wed: Tag It

6. Not Just Cards #27: December

Finally, add the hand-dyed crinkle ribbon (Walnut Inks - Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko) and the punched border (Martha Stewart/EK Success) to further embellish the box.

I have a video tutorial to show how I made it:

I would like to thank Norma and Rhonda for having me in the DT for a year!
And to all my Blogland friends who left me sweet comments through DTC!

{Thu} Video Tutorial

{Thu} Video Tutorial: Make Cards using Hot Glue Gun

Hello,

I have a new video tutorial to share today:

How-To:

1. Trim a panel out of watercolor paper (smaller than your card front)

2. Stamp and heat embossed the sentiment in silver (embossing is optional, you can just stamp it using a regular stamp pad)

3. Load glue gun with glue stick of your choice (I used a glitter dark blue glue stick)

4. Start doodling around your stamped sentiment (you could also trace a patterned with pencil first if you don't want to freestyle)

5. Use a heat gun to re-heat the glue

6. "Stamp" the glue using a background stamp

{The following steps are optional...}

7. Watercolor some of the white space

(with ArtBars by Derwent)

(with PearlEx Watercolor CD)

8. Re-heat a section of the glue to adhere a paper flower

Here's a photo of the card without watercoloring:

(detail of the silver embossing)

I'd like to link the first card in the following challenges:
1. Word Art Wed #186: Anything Goes/Family Friendly
2. Addicted to Stamps #147: Make your Mark
3. Simon Says Make It Masculine
4. Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #13: A Year of Choices (#6 Stamps)

{Tue} Technique: Cards using DIY Glitter Glue Video Tutorial

Hello,

Today I'm sharing a video tutorial!

I love glitter, but the glitter glues I buy never seen to have enough glitter...so sometimes, I make my own. Although, loose glitter is a nightmare...I must admit!

But since I still have them (what was I thinking when I bought them?), I thought I should use them once in a while! =)

Here's the card I used as example in the video:

Challenges:

1. Word Art Wed #179: AG Family Friendly Challenge

2. SSS Wed Make Your Own Background
3. CAS on Sun Challenge #56: Gold
4. Cards In Envy: Pretty in Pink

Here's a card I've made previously:

Hope you like it!

Birthday Cards

House of Cards DT Mar Challenge: Enamel Dots + Video Tutorial

If you're looking for the SOTM CTMH Blog Hop, click HERE.

Hello,

It's the first of the Month...it's a new House of Cards challenge!

This month, the challenge is to use enamel dots...

Here are two of my cards...using DIY enamel dots:

Challenges:

1. WAW #172: Anything Goes

2. SSS Mon No Rules

3. SSS Wed Anything Goes

I even have a video tutorial!

The original concept is not mine...I've seen YouTube videos on how to make your own "pearls" using clear glue sticks, but not colored ones...

Here are some additional tips:

1. Make sure your hot glue gun is really hot! Let it warm up for a few minutes before you start the project.

2. My glues sticks are by SureBonder, but there are other brands and colors available: glitter, neon...

3. If the dots are not quite round or the tips cool down before they "flatten", sometimes you're able to fix them by heating them up with a embossing heat gun. Once the top starts to melt, you should stop heating...otherwise, they start to loose shape, bubble or the glue starts moving around...

4. Changing colors: when you get to the point when the colors start mixing, you can use the mixed glues to actually glue stuff, or depending on the sticks you choose, you can create new colors (I had blue, then yellow and I got aqua/mint).

You have until the end of the month to link up your projects!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
