Liberty & Justice Card-Shaving Cream Background

I used Sew Many digi stamp Ali Independence Day. Isn't he cute. I colored with my prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol. I printed out the sentiment and used my Irock to add the gems.

Now for the shaving cream background. I found this technique in an old Paper Crafters magazine and thought it would be fun. It was.

 So you get a shallow bowl and add shaving cream to the entire bottom of the bowl. Flatten it out and add dots of alcohol ink. Then swirl them around in the shaving cream. Then place the paper on top of the shaving cream face down and lightly press down. Lift up and scrap off the extra shaving cream. I will try to scan the pages from the magazine if I can figure out which one it is. My explanation might not be that good its late. I will explain again in more detail on the next post when I use the other colors of the papers I made. Here are the close ups of 4 of the backgrounds.

Nascar Birthday Card

I made my first Nascar themed cards. The best thing about selling my cards is that I get to make things I would not normally make.

I got this car from a wonderful person that was sharing it on their blog for free. I wish I had saved the link to share with you but of course I didn't. I googled and found it.

This card was colored with Copics and I added Glossy Accents to the windows.

This next card was made for the daughter of the other card. I actually colored the car in Photoshop and printed it out.

I embossed the white paper in the right corner and inked it with red ink. Added some twine and brads and there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Kich N Bleus DT- Grad Cards

I colored the digi with prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol. I had some technical difficulties and I am not too happy with my coloring but it will be ok.  I  cut the card from Birthday Bash and added the metal accents with my Irock.
I just love these digi stamps. I already posted one of them however I made another to highlight this collection again.

I am drawn to the girl digi stamps even though I need to make a male grad card. The link below will take you to the store if you are interested. Thanks for stopping by.

Kich n Bleus DT -Coasters

Welcome to my Design Team post! I hope you enjoy the coasters I made. I was getting tired of only making cards so I thought I would change it up. We all had a certain image to use but I used a couple more as well. This set has some great Earthy images. Check out the Kich N Bleus store for all the details. So on to the details...
Well I figured out a few errors in my ways doing these coasters. So let me share with you my flaws so you don't have to go through them. I used cheap coasters that I had got from Michael's a long time ago that had some ugly design and covered them with paper. I taped them down with the best double sided adhesive in the world, the red lined tape. BIG MISTAKE. After applying Modge Podge it bubbled up big time. So on try number two I used Modge Podge to glue down the paper then more Modge Podge on top of the paper, laid down my image on that then more Modge Podge on top the whole thing. Seems to have worked this way.

I colored the image with prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol . I took picture of all three of them before I applied Modge Podge so you can see the details in the images better.

All three together after the Modge Podge

Here is what the finished products looks like. Now to see if they hold up after use. I will let you know, will I will make more if they work and let you know.

Now lets see what my team has made with the other cute images in this set. Check out the blogs below. Also don't forget to stop by the store and pick these cute images up if you want to use them :)

Get Well w/ Jaden Get Well

 The case of this card is a flat square that is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 in. The I cut a 5x10 in and folded it, then cut half of one side at a 90 degree angle. Adhere this piece. Then I cut a 5 1/2 by 9 1/2 piece of paper and folded it in half. That is the inside card. Hopefully the pictures help you see what I did because my explanation is not so good, its late :)

 I colored Jaden from Sew Many Cards with what little Copics I have and the pink with my prism colored pencils. I only have 6 copics so far and I am not great at coloring with them yet. Jaden is sooo cute.

 

Here is what the inside of the card looks like. I just stamped Get Well Soon on the bottom and left lots of room for the ladies to sign the card.

 Closer view of my coloring :)

The front I cute scallops and circles using my Nestibilities and printed the sentiment on my printer. I used my I rock to add the pink metallics on there. Thanks so much for looking. I love all your comments!

Anniversary Card using Kich n Bleus digi

April 4th is my two year wedding anniversary and I thought this digi would be perfect for my hubby's card.

I am doing a card swap and received my first set of cards and there was one like this that I just had to try. It is such a simple card to make that looks like it took hours.

Here is a closer view of this wonderful FREE digi on Kich N Bleus. I colored it with prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol. I cut the scallop and embossed it.

Check out the other DT projects.

 Card-fits in the purse

 Notpad-fits in the purse

 Ok on to the details...

 I did many different things on this card. Lets start with the background. I used Ranger Ricks alcohol inks to make the background paper and the scallop paper. I then sprayed the scallop with Glitter Mist in pink and blue and used my nestabilities to cut it. I added white metal accents with my I*rock. The ribbon I colored white ribbon with my Zig markers using three colors. Hand colored the digi with prism colored pencils and blended with gamsol. The eggs have glossy accents on them. 

 The details are hard to see on this one. I made the background of the digi with alcohol inks and colored the same way. On the paint on the egg I used UTEE. I love the way that came out. This is a Splitcoast tutorial which I made for one of my last posts as well. 

 I made this notebook from scratch using thick chipboard and added notebook paper in there. Used my bind it all to bind it. Hand colored the same us the above and added Glossy Accents on the ears.
