moon face (stencil + gel medium card #2)

Yesterday I shared this project (and video tutorial)

Well, today I’m sharing the opposite.

The what?
When I placed the used stencil down onto another paper I got the mirror image and I of course used it!

I did a similar card design – and oh how I love the look of this! I love that the mist kind of spreads onto the clear paste area, that the color is scratchy… just love it.

No waste going on here- just lots of happy crafting, stencil use, and more projects to come! National Craft Month is just warming up…

I used my new lucky stamp set from Lawn Fawn to create this card. It was such fun! Using watercolors to color the images in and then assembling and of course just a flick of gold – really had a good time making this one.

Supplies Used:

Creative play + quick card

038 copy

This card is made with a new Tim Holtz stencil. Paste. Heidi Swapp gold mist. As far as the background? I really can’t remember. Why? I was in the zone, man! I made all these backgrounds in a “I’m not feeling creative” frenzy and I think this one is distress and dylusions mists but I’m not sure.

But really? It’s cool. Because I tested a ton of new products, had a ton of fun, and ended up with backgrounds I have been turning into finished cards and projects! Expect to see more of these over the next few weeks.

Celebrate: a birthday card

102 copy

Last week I posted the tutorial (here) for my daughter’s birthday party invitations. Thing is – I made more teacups than I needed. So… what to do? Make more cards, of course! Here’s how I used the trio of pre-painted/stamped cups on another card. Today is her birthday (and marks 10 years of me being a mom!) so seemed like a good day to share it.

Ever After High inspired tea invitation

065

I don’t often mass produce cards… but when my daughter requests party invitations that look like they are straight from the pages of an Ever After High book… well I can try to do that. MANY thanks to the amazing Tim Holtz who hooked me up with his new (and my current favorite!) die set so that I could make this happen!

This card was super fun – and I had just way too much fun with it so I simply must share a video tutorial!
