Rainbow Ducky St. Patrick's Day Card

Kitchen Sink Stamps - Butterfly Birthday

 Hello! Today I have a mini-slimline card that I made to help promote the Mod Squad Challenge Blog which has been sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps. The Mod Squad Challenge page can be found here: https://modsquadchallenge.com/birthday-butterflies/

The deadline to enter the current challenged is 12 p.m. EST on 2/28/2022  The Mod Squad Challenge is a card challenge. The designer selects a theme, creates a card for the theme, and then card markers entire their cards.  There is a $25 gift card for Kitchen Sink Stamps given to one random winner. There are also three top cards selected by the designer (no prize, but bragging rights!).

To create my mini-slimline card I used the Butterflies stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps and my sentiment came from the Words 4 Celebrating Stamp Set. I also used the Cloudy Skies Stencil from Kitchen Sink Stamps. 

Order here: Kitchen Sink Stamps:

https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/sc/ref.cgi?storeid=*14894f2aab5d40e710c47a8a&name=Tracy_Shultz

These are the steps I took to create the card:

1. Using the free SVG cut files available from Kitchen Sink Stamps, I stamped the smaller open winged butterfly SVG (with and without antenna) using the following Catherine Pooler Ink (Starting with Layer 1):

• Layer 1: Oh Boy!
• Layer 2: Something Borrowed
• Layer 3: Juniper Mist (Stamped off 1 time)

I repeated these steps with the following Catherine Pooler Ink  (starting with Layer 1):

• Layer 1: Chiffon
• Layer 2: Limoncello
• Layer 3: Tiara

2.  From the Words 4 Celebrating stamps set, I used to SVG files and stamped Happy Birthday with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 

3. Using the Cloudy Skies Stencil and Catherine Pooler Oh Boy ink, I ink blended clouds for the background panel (size: 2.75" wide x 5.75" tall). 

4. Using Oh Boy Ink from Catherine Pooler, I swiped my ink pad directly to another piece of paper to create a mat layer (3" wide x 6" tall) 

5. Using black card stock I created a black card base (size 3.25 wide x 6.25" tall) and adhered both the Mat Panel and the cloud back ground panel. 

6. Using foam tape I adhered the sentiment to the cloud layer.

7.  I adhered the butterflies without antenna flat to the cloud panel. I adhered the butterflies with antenna with a thin line of glue along the body of the butterfly and lined them with the flat butterflies. 

Thank you for visiting my Blog - have a hopeful day!

Kitchen Sink Stamps - Get Well Teddy

Hello!  Today I have another adorable Teddy Bear Card - this one a Get Well Card featuring the Get Well Teddy Multistep Stamp and the AH-LO-HAA Printable Background for toner foiling (Minc foiling) Water Splashes (I think they look like flourishes). Be sure to check out these and all the amazing Kitchen Sink Stamps: here: https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/sc/ref.cgi?storeid=*14894f2aab5d40e710c47a8a&name=Tracy_Shultz

For a step by step how to video, please click on the link below to my YouTube Channel:

 https://youtu.be/29PxnJrlAF0

I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut out the free SVG digital cut file for the Carnations and the Teddy Bear provided free at the time of purchase by Kitchen Sink Stamps. This is a digital file for use on all electronic cutting machines and is free when you purchase any stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. These offer a free die cut of your stamps. You must put the SVG file in your card before you check out. If you purchase them after you check out they cost .99 cents. They are sent directly to your email and you have a limited time to then download and save the files to your computer. I like using the SVG files because when cut out they provide a jig that helps with alignment. 

I stamped the Carnations with these Catherine Pooler Ink colors: 

Stems Step 1: Eucalyptus

Stems Step 2: Green Tea

Flowers Step 1: It's a Girl

Flowers Step 2: Tutti Fruity

Flowers Step 3: Party Dress

 

For the Teddy Bear, I used the following Altenew Inks:

Step 1: Rocky Shores

Step 2: Mocha

Step 3: Espresso

Step 4: Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

I foiled the Water Splashes Digi Background with pink hearts toner (minc) foil. I selected that background because it reminded me flourishes. I used the Altenew Fluted Oval Dies for the large pink oval and the foiled oval. I used a scalloped oval die to cut the light pink foil centerpiece that the Teddy Bear sits inside. I used foam tape to pop up the Teddy Bear and trimmed down the carnations to make a small bouquet for the Teddy Bear to hold. I used the Get Well Soon sentiment from the Get Well Teddy stamp set on my card. 

List of products uses:

I used the same inks listed above (for the box of candy) to ink blend both the background and the mat layers of my card. I ink blended the background with Domed Foam Blending tools. I stamped the Be My Valentine sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on white cardstock.  

I used the Gina Marie Designs Big and Little Chain Reaction die

Kitchen Sink Stamps - Guitar and Make a Big Statement

 Hello! I am here today with a card that I created with Kitchen Sink Stamps Guitar and Make a Big Statement stamp sets.  I also foiled the musical notes from the Tis the Season DIGI backgrounds. This card is for my son, who will be 17 years old on February 2. I made this card for him because he plays both the acoustic and electric guitars, and I hope it inspires him to keep on playing!

I created a YouTube video with step by step instructions:

To create my card,  I first stamped the four layers of the guitar using these inks:

Layer 1: Altenew Vanilla Cream

Layer 2: Altenew Hazelnut

Layer 3:Altenew Almond Butter

Layer 4:  Altenew Mocha 

I then foiled the musical notes using a sapphire blue foil with stars from H & H Foil in my mini Minc machine.

I stamped the "Make your own music" sentiment, which is included in the Guitar stamp set, with Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed ink. Then, using the SVG cut file from the Make a Big Statement stamp set, I cut the Happy Birthday SVG with my Brother Scan and Cut Machine. I used Something Borrowed ink by Catherine Pooler to then stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment. 

To assemble my card, I used two stitched rectangle dies from Paper Rose to die cut the mat layer (Sapphire Blue Foil Cardstock) and the Foiled Musical Notes panel. I adhered these to an A2 card base using two sided tape. I used foam tape to pop up the Happy Birthday and Make Your Own Music sentiments and multilayer Guitar.

Grazing Horse Thank you Card | Kitchen Sink Stamps

 Hello. Today I have a thank you card using several stamp sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps including Grazing Horse, Multistep Trees, Coffee Mate Greetings and Cabin by the Lake. 

To create the grazing area for my horse (the green area) I used the water (2 stamps) from the Cabin by Lake Stamp Set. I stamped layer one in Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus and layer two in Catherine Pooler Green Te. I stamped directly onto a piece of Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cardstock l00 lbs. 

Next I stamped the horse, from the Grazing Horse set using these colors of ink:

1. Step 1: Altenew Sand Dunes

2. Step 2: Altenew Sand Dunes (repeated)

3. Step 3: Altenew Rocky Shores

4. Step 4: Altenew Mocha

5. Step 5: Altenew Espresso

My card panel was stark white, so I used a blending brush to blend Altenew Vanilla Cream ink in the background.

Next I used the SVG file of the fence from the Grazing Horse set and stamped the fence using these inks:

1. Step 1:Silver Lake

2. Step 2: Gray Denim

3. Step 3: Cloudy Night

I used the SVG file of the tall tree from the Multistep Trees set. Inked the tree with these colors:

1. Layer 4: Altenew Espresso

2. Layer 3: Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus

3. Layer 2:  Catherine Pooler Green Tea

4. Layer 1: Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey

I used the grass from the Grazing Horse to stamp some grass under the fence posts and the tree. I also stamped some grass around the bottom of the card near the horse. I used two colors of Catherine Pooler ink for the grass. Layer one was Catherine Pooler Sage and Layer two was Catherine Pooler Spruce.

Finally, I stamped the Thanks sentiment from the Coffee Mate Greetings set using Catherine Pooler Spruce ink.

Watercolor Thanks | Kitchen Sink Stamps

  Hello! Today I created a card for the Kitchen Sink Stamps Design Team. To create my card, I used the Watercolor Thanks Stamp Set, the SVG Cut File for the Watercolor Thanks Stamp Set, and the Buffalo Plaid from the Extended Plaids Printable Background (for FOILING).

Kitchen Sink Stamps: https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/sc/ref.cgi?storeid=*14894f2aab5d40e710c47a8a&name=Tracy_Shultz

The Foiled Background

To create my card, I started with the background. I used my laser printer and printed the Buffalo Plaid from the Extended Plaids Printable Background set. I foiled with red foil, using my Mini Minc Machine. I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die. Below that, I die cut with a stitched rectangle die a green foil cardstock panel, cutting it slightly larger than the plaid foil layer and using it as a mat layer. I adhered the layers to a black A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card base. 

The Watercolor Thanks Stamped Sentiment

I used the SVG cut file from the Watercolor Thanks Stamp set to cut out the outline of the word thanks. I put this in my stamp positioning tool and stamped using the following Color Recipe (stamping in reverse order):

• Layer 4: Catherine Pooler Cranberry Fizz
• Layer 3: Catherine Pooler Rouge (stamped off one time to decrease the intensity of the color)
• Layer 2: Catherine Pooler Rose Petals
• Layer 1: Catherine Pooler Polished (stamped off one time to decrease the intensity of the color)

Black Mat for the Watercolor Thanks Sentiment

Using a small stitched rectangle die, I cut a mat layer for the Watercolor Thanks Sentiment. I glued the stamped Thanks sentient to black rectangle and then adhered them to the foiled card panel.

                                                     Mini Sentiment

I stamped the "so much" mini sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I stamped this onto a banner (white cardstock) that I cut out from the Watercolor Thanks SVG cut files. I trimmed a piece of black card stock to create a mat layer. 

You can find all the products that I used here:
