Stenciled Background Using Shape Dies

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I am in love with the Ranger Simon Hurley Lunar Pastes! So many beautiful colors and I love the metallic sheen too! Need to get more of them! I used it a stencil created from shaped dies. So much fun to use!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4 x 5″. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Next, I created a stencil out of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ ( 6 x 6″) by die cutting the clovers with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies. I used Simon Hurley Minty Fresh and Later Gator Lunar Paste.

I die cut the main part of the sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock and 2x from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# 8-1/2 x 11″ Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs. I stacked them before adhering to the card. I added some clovers die cut from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy add-on stamp set with Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink.

Easy Masculine Birthday Card feat. Lawn Fawn’s Giant Happy Birthday

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. I needed a birthday card for my dad and even though my dad is completely fine with whatever type of card he receives I wanted to keep it kinda masculine bit modern. So I chose a geometric stencil, modeling paste and a few distress inks and made this easy background. Let me show you how easy it is to make!

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# Blue Violet to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then cut a piece of Watercolor Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″. I colored it by ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Broken China, Mowed Lawn, Antique Linen, and Villainous Poison. I sprayed water on the background and wiped it off.

I added white Modeling Paste with a palette knife using the Catherine Pooler Gradient Diamond Stencil. For the sentiment, I diecut Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Birthday die. I diecut it 3x and stacked them for some dimension.

I finished the card by adding some Ebony Black Nuvo Drops.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Young at Heart Stampset (Part of a Stamp of Approval Collection – discontinued), with Ranger Tim Holtz Broken China Distress oxide Ink and added the same pattern to the bottom of the card using Catherine Pooler Gradient Diamond Stencil and Broken China, Mowed Lawn, and Villainous Poison Distress Oxide Inks.

3 Halloween Gift Bags featuring Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Halloween Card Kit

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. I made some cute gift bags with the Limited Edition Simon Says Stamp Home Sweet Haunted Home Halloween Card Kit. It comes with lots of goodies you can use to decorate the gift bags! These were all very easy to make. Here’s how I made them.

The Kit includes:

For the first bag, I stenciled the background with the NEW Exclusive Halloween Candy stencils set. I used Tim Holtz Crackling Campfire, Mowed Lawn, and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks and Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink.

Then added a piece of pattern paper from the Carta Bella Hocus Pocus 6×6 inch paper pack measuring 2-1/2 tall x 7-1/2 wide” to the top of the bag. I added a trim with the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Black Tinsel.

I used one of the cut aparts from the Carta Bella Hocus Pocus 6×6 inch paper pack on the front as well as die cut the witch hat from using Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and Simon Says Stamp 6 x 6 Plum Glitter Cardstock. I added some stitching to the hat with a White Gel Pen. I added one of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Halloween Mini Flair buttons.

I covered one of the American Crafts 1.5 inch Kraft circle tags with a piece of pattern paper from the Carta Bella Hocus Pocus 6×6 inch paper pack. I cut it using a 2-inch punch. Then stamped a sentiment from the NEW Exclusive Home Sweet Haunted Home clear stamp set onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I finished the bag by adding some shimmer to the hat with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen and orange and white twine.

For the second bag, I stamped the images from the NEW Exclusive Home Sweet Haunted Home clear stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then colored them with Prismacolor Pencils.

Then added Tim Holtz Idea-ology Fringe and a piece of pattern paper from the Carta Bella Hocus Pocus 6×6 inch paper pack measuring 1/2 tall x 7-1/2 wide” to the top edge of the bag. I stamped a sentiment from NEW Exclusive Home Sweet Haunted Home clear stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto one of the round kraft tags and added some black twine.

For the third bag, I sprayed it with the Tim Holtz Ranger Mica Stain in Harvest Moon. Then added black splatters with Tim Holtz BLACK SOOT Distress Spray Stain. I cut out one of the cut aparts from the Carta Bella Hocus Pocus 6×6 inch paper pack then cut a mat for it from Simon Says Stamp Black Glitter Cardstock measuring 3-1/2 x 4-1/2″.

I added some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Fringe to the bottom edge of the bag. And then added Candy Corn Repeats Stickers all around the image.

I cut a 1.5 inch circle from the Simon Says Stamp 100lb Burnt Orange 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the NEW Exclusive Home Sweet Haunted Home clear stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. And adhered it to one of the kraft tags. Finally I added some natural twine.

For all the above bags, you can just decorate one side or do both sides if you like. I added the trim all the way around on some of the bags.

A Clean and Simple Card Elevated By Stencils feat. Scrapbook.com

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. While I am not one to make a clean and simple card very often (I like to complicate my life. LOL), I decided to make one using the Fireworks Stencil from Scrapbook.com. This card can easily be made for any occasion — just change the background stencil and sentiment!

I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. I also die cut another piece using the largest dot die from Catherine Pooler Designs Scallops & Dots which measures 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″. Then using the Scrapbook.com Fireworks 6×8 Stencil combined with Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire and Candied Apple Distress Oxides Ink I stenciled the background.

I die cut a strip of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock using the Queen and Company Foundations 17 dies. I used the rectangle that measures 1 x 6-1/4″. It has stitched edges which adds a nice element to the card. I adhered that to my card base and added some Love from Lizi Pin Stripe Peel-offs in Red Mirror and Blue Mirror along the edge of that strip.

I added some 3M Foam Tape behind the front panel and adhered it. I die cut the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Red Glitter Cardstock as well as Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (for the shadow)

I finished off the card by adding red, white, and blue sequins. I don’t think the mix I used is still available but I have linked to a simliar one. But if you have the three colors separately that will do just fine as well here.

On the inside of the card, I stamped “Happy 4th of July” from and old sentiment stamp I have. I will try to link it below if I find it.s

Creating a Very Dimensional, But Quick and Easy Background feat. Scrapbook.com and Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Here’s another cute card for Independence Day. This one is a little more involved than my previous card but was lots of fun to make. I haven’t used this Lawn Fawn Build-A-House Die in a while and it was time!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. I also cut another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxides Inks to create a gradient background. Then used a mixture of Modelling Paste and Nuvo Glimmer Paste Moonstone with Scrapbook.com Fireworks 6×8 Stencil.

While that dried, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 2 x 5-1/4″ and diecut it with Lawn Fawn Grassy Border and colored it with Copic Markers. I used YG25, and G07. I die cut all the pieces for the house from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock bwith the Lawn Fawn Build-A-House, Build-A-House Christmas Add-on Dies as well as the fence from the Honey Bee Stamps House Builder Card Base.

I colored all the pieces with Copic Markers as well. I used C00 for the house; C5, C7 & C9 for the roof; C3 & C5, Y13 & Y18 for the windows; R14, R17 & R29 for the door; C5, C7 & C9 for the stairs; B34, B37 & B39 for the awning; R29, Y18 & B37 for the window box flowers; C3 & 0 for the window box; R29 & B37 for the wreath and bow; and C00 & 0 for the fence.

I stamped the sentiment onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink, added some Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. I fussycut it and added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding Tonic Fresh Snowfall Nuvo Glitter Drops to the door knob and the wreath bow.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Partial Stenciling Technique: Patriotic Card

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Independence Day is approaching and if you like making cards to send to friends and family like I do, here’s a simple one to get started. I saw a video from Gina K Designs on partial stenciling so I decided to give it a try.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 7 x 10″ and scored at 5″ to create the card base. I taped off the area I wanted to stencil with Low Tack Tape and made sure to cover the rest of the areas so as not to add unwanted ink in those areas. I used Tim Holtz Candied Apple and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to create a gradient.

For the sentiment I diecut the letters for “fourth” from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Kraft Stock and two from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# Slate Gray using Honey Bee Tailgate Alphabet Dies. I also die cut silver stars using Queen & Company Foundation Dies #2.

I didn’t have any suitable stamps for the “Happy” and “of July” part of the sentiment so I printed some out from my computer. YOu can use a program like Microsoft Powerpoint or Word or Adobe Illustrator or any other program that allows you to create text and print it.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Easy Distress Backgrounds (Part 2): Let’s Make Cards

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. In part 1 of this post I showed how I created six backgrounds using distress inks, markers, and crayons. It’s time to make some cards with these. I kept them pretty simple to show that you don’t need to always make complicated cards (even though I tend to).

For the first set of backgrounds, I started the cutting a piece of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the two card bases. I cut the watercolor paper panel down to 4 x 5-1/4″ and left the Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper one 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Watercolor Paper Panel

For this card I decided to make a shaker card. I diecut a stitched rectangle from the center with the Catherine Pooler Scallops & Dots Dies. Then added a piece of acetate and 3M Foam Tape behind it, added some pink, black and white sequins from my stash (I tried to pick flat ones) and adhered the panel to the card. I diecut the sentiment from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and the shadow from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps Thanks Die (this is an older die and I don’t think it’s been retired). I finished it off by adding some additional black sequins.

On the inside, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped another sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.

Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper

I diecut the sentiment from the panel using the same die and a second two more from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock and stacked them. (If you do this diecut technique make sure to save the pieces from the insides of the letters to add back. I just used put some post it tape over the whole sentiment before popping it out from the panel.) I stamped the rest of the sentiment onto some Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock with Versamark Ink using the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset, embossed it with WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White Super Fine, and cut it down to 7/16 x 2-5/8″. I finished it off by adding some Tonic Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.

For the second set of backgrounds, I started the cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the two card bases. I cut both panels down to 4 x 5-1/4″.

Watercolor Paper Panel

I diecut one set of letters from the Honey Bee Bold Alphabet Dies from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock (the dark gray or black) and two sets from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock and stacked them. I stamped the rest of the sentiment onto some Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock with Versamark Ink using the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset, embossed it with WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White Super Fine, and cut it down to 1/4 x 3-3/4″. I finished it off by adding some Tonic Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped another sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.

Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper

I started by diecutting the sentiment from the panel using Honey Bee Stamps Thanks Die which turned out to be an epiq fail because I ran it through two times becuase it wasn’t cutting and it shifted so then I had to cover it so I cut a piece of purple metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock to 2-1/8 x 4″ and added some Love From Lizi Black GlitterPeel-offs. Then diecut the 2x from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock with the Honey Bee Stamps Thanks Die and the shadow from Vellum. Then stamped the rest of the sentiment onto some Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock with Versamark Ink using the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset, embossed it with WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White Super Fine, and cut it down to 1/4 x 2-3/8″.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.

Dimensions

For the third set of backgrounds, I started the cutting two pieces of Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstocktock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the two card bases. I cut both panels down to 4 x 5-1/4″.

Watercolor Paper Panel

I diecut a scalloped circle (measuring 2-1/2″) from the center with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Circles Dies. (Just a note about these layering circles as well as the other layering dies from SU!. I never thought I would get so much use out of them but I actually have so they kinda paid for themselves by now, And that’s crafty win in my book!).

Then added a piece of acetate and 3M Foam Tape behind it, added the Catherine Pooler {Portland Sequin Mix as well as some larger green sequins from my stash (I tried to pick flat ones) and adhered the panel to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Tim Holtz Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and then die cut it using the coordinating word dies. I also stamped the rest of the sentiment from the same stampset onto some Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock with Versamark Ink, embossed it with WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White Super Fine, and cut it down to 9/16 x 3-3/16″. I finished it off by adding some Tonic Dark Walnut Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped another sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks stampset with Tim Holtz Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I also added two pieces of the leftover scalloped cirlce from the front.

Stenciled Background St. Patrick’s Day Card

kittieslovecrafting

Simon Says Stamp and Scrapbook.com

Hello friends. Here’s a quick but very cute St. Patrick’s Day card featuring Simon Says Stamp’s Wooly Lucky Stampset (this came out last year I believe). It’s a very simple card with a subtle stenciled background. I love using stencils for backgrounds because it makes it so quick. And who’s got time to make complicated backgrounds these days?!? Not me.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base and a piece from Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I used the Scrapbook.com Shamrocks 6 x 8″ Stencil with Catherine Pooler Garden Party Ink to create the background. I die cut it with the largest dot die from Catherine Pooler’s Scallops & Dots Dies which measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″.

I stamped the llama and two rainbows from the Simon Says Stamp’s Wooly Lucky Stampset onto some Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I colored the images with Copic colors. I used W0, W1 & 0, R20, & C7 for the llama; G07 & G09, C7 & C9, Y15 & Y17 for the hat and bow; YG03 for the shamrocks; YG03, YG17, G07, Y15 & Y17 for the blanket; R17 & R27, YR04 & YR07, YG17 & G07, B02 & B04, BV08 & BV17 for the rainbow; and BG000 & 0 for the clouds. I fussy cut all the images.

I stamped the sentiment from the from Lawn Fawn Hats Off to You Clear Stamps onto the card panel with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then using my MISTI stamped over it with Versamark Ink, heat embossed it with Ranger CLEAR Embossing Powder.

Before adhereing the images to the card panel, I cut a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the llama.

I finished the card by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops – Metallic Bright Gold.

I left the inside of the card blank and just added two images I had previously stamped from the same stamp set.

Valentine’s Day Slimline Window Scene Cards

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. The Lawn Fawn Scent With Love Clear Stamps and Dies is great for scene cards so I decided to make a slimline card. But had so much fun making them I made four instead. 🙂

For these cards, I cut two pieces of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, one piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# COTTON CANDY and one of Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create four card bases. I die cut the scallop slimline panel from two different pattern papers from my stash and two from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, using the Catherine Pooler Essentials Slimline Die.

On the white panels, I stenciled hearts using the Simon Says Stamp Stencil Tumbling Hearts Stencil with Tim Holtz Distress Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink and on the other panel, clouds using My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil and Mini Cloud Edges Mix-ables Stencil with Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I die cut out the windows using the Catherine Pooler Essentials Slimline Die. These dies make it so easy to make a 3 window slimline card.

I added a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to the back of the pattern paper backgrounds and a piece of vellum behind the stenciled panels, cut to 3-1/2 x 8-1/8″. Before adhering stenciled backgrounds to the card, I added the negative pieces of the window to the card. I stenciled some tiny hearts onto the background of the white windows with Hero Arts Heart Confetti Fancy Die (I die cut acetate to create the stencil) and Catherine Pooler Be Mine Ink.

I stamped a bunch of images from the Lawn Fawn SCENT WITH LOVE Clear Stamps and Dies and the Lawn Fawn SCENT WITH LOVE ADD-ON Clear Stamps and Dies onto some Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

The images were colored with Copic colors. I used R14, 27 & 46 for all the red items; R81, 83, & 85 for all the pink items; YG25 & 17 for all the greenery; C1, 5, & 7 and 0 for the skunks; and E74 & 79 for all the chocolate items. I die cut all the images with the coordinating dies.

I finished them all by adding some Tonic Fresh Snowfall Nuvo Glitter Accents.

On the inside of the pink cards, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 3 x 8″ and stamped a sentiment and the three hearts from the Lawn Fawn SCENT WITH LOVE ADD-ON Clear Stamps and Dies with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. For the white cards, I just stamped the image directly inside the cards.
