You Rock-!! Card

Hello Creatives.

Here is a  fun creative card for you today using The Crafters Workshop Metal Die Horizontal Chevron TCW1025. These dies are great to use for cards, so fast and easy.

Step 1:

Using acrylic paint and a brayer with my "Gelli Plate". I applied the paint to the Gelli Plate and then with white paper pressing it onto the painted Gelli Plate. Pulling the paper off and letting it dry.

Step 2:

Cut the white card stock with the TCW die and Big Shot machine.

Note: TCW dies are compatible with Big Shot, Cuttlebug, Wizard, Epic, Revolution, Big Kick, and other die-cutting machines.

Step 3:

Cut a folding card blank from card stock. I used dark grey. 6"x4". Then also cut out the background for the white die cut paper from the acrylic painted paper. Glue that to the back side of the die cut white paper. Add ribbon, embellishments and glue to your folded card blank.

Enjoy-! Because YOU ROCK-!

Be well-

The Crafters Workshop Die Cuts.....

 Hello Artists-

I wanted to show you TCW Dies... I am LOVING these little gems. I wanted to show you how to make a quick fun Birthday Card with the dies. Really Quick and easy.

Plus it is my Birthday today and what better way to celebrate?!!!!

Dies I used are Solace 4x6 TCW1011 and Today TCW1034

Step 1
Cut out a card blank in white paper. Then apply Pan Pastels with application in a diagonal across the page. I used an orange, pink, pale green and dark green. Be sure to round the corners of the card.

 Step 2
Use TCW1011 and cut a die out of gray paper.

Step 3
Attach the die cut gray paper to the top of the Pan Pastel sheet with 3D tape.

Step 4
Make a banner tag out of orange card stock. Stamp  STAMPOTIQUE Stamps "Happy Birthday" with Black ink and edge with Prima's Dark Bark Chalk Edger. Add to the front of the card with 3D tape.

Step 5

Cut out TCW Today TCW1034 in white card stock. Glue to the top of the banner tag. Then add an embellishment to the upper right corner. I used Prima's Wood Embellishments from the Cartographer collection.

Thank you so much for stopping in. My wish for you today is to be creative even if it is only in your minds eye.

Much Love.

Artistcellar Star Coral and Stampotique Stamp Journal Page

Hello Artists-

Happy Hump day. Sarinda here with your midweek muse with a journal technique using the Star Coral Stencil from Artistcellar.

Here is what you will need:

• Star Coral Stencil
• Paper White 12"x12"
• Black card stock 7"x7"
• Paper trimmer
• Golden Acrylic Paints
• Sponge Brayer
• Pitt Pens
• Ranger Crackle
• Brown Distress Stain
• Stampotique.com Stamps "To Be A Star..." Sentiment and "Smushallaum" Mermaid
• Memento Black Ink Pad
• Heat Tool
• Scissors
• Copic Markers
• Glue

Step 1: Apply the acrylic paint to the 12"x12" white paper with the sponge brayer. You will only used a 6.5"x6.5". I use the larger paper so that I can use the best part of the sheet. Let Dry. Clean off brayer as soon as you are done with the application of paint. Otherwise it dry into the sponge and will be a one time use.

This is what my sheet looked like after painting.

Step 2: Place Artistcellar Star Coral stencil onto the portion of the painted paper that you would like to use. Apply light grey and cream acrylic paint with the the sponge brayer. Let dry. Make sure that you rinse off the stencil and brayer.

Once dry trim to 6.5"x6.5".

Step 3: Place the stencil over the painting just a bit off then outline with the Pitt "S" pen.

Step 4: Add the Ranger Crackle Accents to the center of the light circles. Let dry over night. This crackle does better to dry by air than with a heat tool.

Step 5: Apply the Distress Stain on top of the dried crackle. Let the stain saturate and go into the cracks once you are happy with the color then remove the excess with a paper towel.

Step 6: Stamp Stampotique "Smushallaum" Mermaid and Sentiment stamps onto the white card stock with Memento Black ink. Use heat tool to dry. Color with Copic Markers then fussy cut out. Cut out the sentiment in a rectangle.

Step 7: Cut out black card stock to fit both the art and the sentiment. Glue both Mermaid and sentiment to the top.

Congratulations on your journal page.

Be Well-

Sarinda
