Topflight stamps with Crafty Individuals

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Topflight stamps shop.

 Irit is here today with a new Topflight Stamps shop inspiration.

This week the designers were challenged to make a project with Crafty Individuals stamps  and this is my shaker card made with one single, but so powerful stamp from this company.

I made the patterned cardstock background and made the shaker with a chipboard painted frame.
The inside image was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
Then the white cardstock was colored with a mix of distress inks and covered with clear transparency as it should be with shakers.
This card looks like a framed piece of art and it is so easy to make a similar card with this gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamp that you can find in Topflight Stamps shop.

And here is a stamp I used to make this card:
Dancing Dragonflies

Thanks for reading my weekly post.

If you would like to see more of my work you are mostly welcome to my own blog.
 See you all next weeks with a totally different stamping inspiration!

Topflight inspiration with For the love of Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit  is here today and I am going to share my first August  inspiration for Topflight Stamps shop.
 This week the design team members were asked to make project with stamps from UK For the Love of Stamps company.
This is a company with great scenic stamps and I got this lovely set named Barrow of Blooms.

So here is a card I made with this lovely set.

Here is the stamps set I used:

As you can see this is a shaker card, but the simple circle shaker one that anyone with a set of circled die can make without a problem.

The inside of the circle is stamped and heat embossed. Then I colored it with Zig Real Brushes markers and added distress inked background. 

I used small beads as the shaker filler in the colors that fit the flowers on the stamped image.

The sentiment was made with two sentiment stamps from the same set, heat embossed and die cut and added on the corner.

  

I hope I inspired you a bit with my new shaker card made with the For the Love of Stamps set and you are mostly welcome to see the daily/weekly deals in our gorgeous  Topflight Stamps shop .
And if you like my work you are welcome to my own blog to see more of it.
See you in a week!

I enter this card to some web challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays Tic Tac Toe challenge

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Tic Tac Toe CAS-ual Frdays challenge!
This is a Tic Tac Toe board that you can use to make this challenge.

For my take of the card I used the lower horizontal line with Shaker card- Rainbow and texture.
 As you can see the focal point of the card is a shaker.
The texture was made with texture paste and a stencil. The rainbow colors were added using Ranger's alcohol inks in 6 colors.
 I used a stamps from CAS-ual Fridays Dream, then Do set that was stamped with pigmented ink and heat embossed with black powder. This is the only way to mist the stamped image without damage to the stamped image.

There are no genre restrictions for this challenge. Link up your clean and simple designs or layer it on -- the choice is yours.  Make sure to link back to this blog post and include the graphic below in your post for consideration of being chosen a winner.

What are your playing for? 10 winning entries will be highlighted on this blog each Thursday before a new challenge is set to go live the next day.  In addition, Michele has generously offered up a $25 gift certificate to the overall winner at CAS-ual Friday stamps. And if that weren't enough, if the chosen winner has used CAS-ual Friday stamps and/or dies as the main focus in the card, that gift certificate will increase to $50.

So don't wait! Play with us and you can be our WINNER!

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.

Simple Shaker Love card with Papericious

Today I am going to share a simple shaker card made with new, just released, Perfect Affair collection from Papericious.

I made a full step by step tutorial and with this gorgeous collection everyone can do this lovely Valentine card.

Step by step tutorial:

1.Die cut 3 stitched rectangles from three different cardstock as shown.

2. Use nested hearts dies or punches  and die cut one frame out of double sided glue foam sheet, 2 white cardstock frames, one patterned cardstock red frame and one transparent full large size heart and one cardstock full size heart.

3. Glue the foam glue frame over the cardstock heart.

3. Glue two more layers using white cardstock heart and fill with Papericious sequins.

4. Add the transparent heart over and cover with red cardstock frame.
Your shaker part is all done.

5.Arrange the card with three die cut layers we made during step 1 and add some hand cut flowers.

6. Use clear embossing ink and gold embossing glitter to cover the chipboard shapes.

7.Add gold lines over flowers with gold liner.

8. Now  your shaker  card is done!
Enjoy!
