Topflight stamps: Studio light and Craft Emotions

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first October TOPFLIGHT stamps post.

This week the DT was challenged to use Studio Light  and/or Craft Emotions stamps and I used both on my fancy shabby style card.

As you can see this card was made over white cardstock die cut front piece using the Studio Light background  180 stamp, clear embossing ink and black embossing powder.

Then the colorful background was made over the heat embossed image using a mix of Ranger Distress Oxide inks and water and I need to say that this is the most beautiful background made in just a few seconds.

The main image- Bird- was stamped  in the same way with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder using Birds-Spring from Craft Emotions.

Then the hand cut image was colored with Zig Real Brush water colors markers and glued over the cluster of embellishments made with clay frame, chipboards, flowers, leaves die cuts and a Love word die cut. 

Here are  the stamps I used to make this project:

Background stamp-180

Birds- Spring

I really hope that you like my shabby card and would try to make a similar one with Topflight shop gorgeous stamps from both shown companies.

Fancy Shaker Love card with Papericious

Hello my dear crafty friends!

This is Irit from Irit Shalom Designs here today and I am going to share two shaker cards tutorial.

It was my very first  time to make shakers and I made one fancy and complicated and one simple one, so everyone can try and make those tag with the new, most gorgeous, Papericious collection Perfect Affair.

This is the first, fancy card here and some close- ups and then I made a full step by step photo tutorial.

Step by step tutorial:

1. Make the card size piece from floral cardstock and use this die to make the cuts. This Die Versions big heart die cuts into two parts, but if you have another die you can always  cut the inner part by yourself or to use two nesting dies.

2. This is the place for the inner die cut, but it's not yet glued.

3. Die cut the double sided glue foam with the same die and use the outer part only. If you don't have the double sided foam sheet use any craft foam and just add the glue over it. Glue the frame piece over the front of your card.

And this is the close up of this step.

4. Die cut again using the very same die and gold cardstock.
Glue the outer part over the double sided glue and glue the inner part under the inside die cut shape.

5. Added sequins and cover with hand cut around the die acetate piece and then glue the outer die cut frame we got during step 1.
Your shaker part is done.

6. Heat emboss Papericious chipboard with clear embossing ink and gold embossing powder. Hand cut the clock from the cardstock and arrange them both as shown.
Add 3 gold sticky corners and make the matting using two other cardstocks from the same collection.

Spring love card

Spring card made for some challenges with shaker part on it using Stamplorations stamps for resist emboss and inside the window.

Together layout

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first February Papericious inspiration.
For this inspiration I made a fancy lovely layout using the new, just released Papericious collection named Blush.
This layout is all about my two lovely grand kids who are much in love one with other (the girl more and you can see it).
The background was made with lots of layers cut out from the paper pack.
I added some diamonds to fit the patterned cardstock with a stencil and colored texture paste (just added a few drops of watercolor in the same pink as the cardstock).
Then the dry diamonds were outlined with gold gel pen, but not much seen on photos.
The focal point of this layout is the title -2gether. I made it with all three layers of a most gorgeous number Papericious chipboard.
The lower layer was heat embossed with black embossing powder.
The second layer was heat embossed with gold embossing glitter.
The outline layer was embossed with black powder again and added over the first two layers.
I added old gold glitter letters to finish the title.

Layers of flowers were hand cut from cardstock, glittered a bit and glued as embellishment clusters.
All other chipboards were heat embossed with the very same black and gold powders and added as sub titles or embellishments.

"You are loved " tag was die cut and misted  and glued on the top of the photos.

Here is another embellishments cluster on the top.

 And gorgeous Papericious sequins splattered over the page corners.

Another look at the central piece of the layout:

I hope that you liked my page and the most gorgeous Papericious new products!
I also enter this layout to a couple of web challenges:
Scrap our stash- Color red-hearts (all golden small hearts around) and Mixed alpha title

Off the rails scrapbooking- Moodboard


 Picture this challenge- I made Sequins-Layering and Hearts middle vertical line



Artastic- inspiration from  bright colors, things connected to childhood and butterflies all around
