Neat and Tangled Blog Hop Day 2 – Let’s Chat!

Welcome to Day 2 of our Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

Hi there! It’s Michele here with Day 2 of the Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

My first card uses an adorable set called, Just Hello.   I gave the old fashioned rotary phone a bit of color using Spectrum Noir Markers.  I added a bit of Glossy Accents to it as well.  I stamped the sentiments on strips of the cream card stock.  To adhere the designer paper to the card I used  E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable.

I wanted the strips to pop off the card a bit so I used  Crafty Foam Tape White.  I added a few epoxy dots, a peek of doily, and a bit of string to tie (no pun intended!) it all together!

lets chat close

My next card uses the Fresh Blooms set.   I again colored each flower with my Spectrum Noir markers and cut each one out.  I covered it with glossy accents and adhered an epoxy dot to its center while still wet. I used the Spellbinder’s dies for the circles and stamped my sentiment directly on the smaller circle. I adhered my flowers to each other and on the edge of the circles using Foam Squares Black Regular to give it dimension.

The Spellbinder’s Beaded circles and designer paper were all adhered using,  E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable.  I added a bit of satin ribbon and string to finish off the card.

Neat and Tangled Blog Hop Day 1 – Hello, Beautiful Card

Welcome to Day 1 of our Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

It’s Kelly Klapstein here to share a fun card I designed using a couple of cute Neat and Tangled stamp sets.  If you aren’t familiar with this wonderful line of stamps, then you should be!

kellyklapstein-neat-11 I used these two sweet stamp sets:  “Fresh Blooms” and “Kindness Matters”

kellyklapstein-neat-1

On my block, I arranged 4 separate stamps to create a flower.  I really like the versatility of these mix and match stamps.

kellyklapstein-neat-3I decided to use the row of hearts stamp as a fun grassy border.

kellyklapstein-neat-4

After adding the “Hello, Beautiful” sentiment, I took out my markers and had some fun. It’s so easy to colour in the lines with these stamps

kellyklapstein-neat-5

After some colouring, I added my 3D Foam Garden Shapes.

kellyklapstein-neat-2

I altered the watering can with silver foil and the droplets with blue foil.

Then I attached this piece of paper to my pink card base with Crafty Foam Tape.

How to Make a Paper Bead:

DIY Paper Bead Jewelry Tutorial by Angela Ploegman

1. Select a patterned paper (lighter weight papers work best) and adhere an Adhesive Sheet – 12 x 12 to the wrong side of the paper.

2. Cut the patterned paper into long triangles – I used a 1 inch wide triangle on the wide edge and kept the length at 12 inches.

3. Dip a thin dowel in baby powder (this will deactivate the adhesive that comes into contact with the dowel).

4. Starting on the wide edge of the patterned paper, roll the the triangle of paper onto the dowel, adhesive side in). Remove from dowel.

5. Sand the bead to shorten and smooth the layers. This also creates some color contrast. You could distress further with inks, but I chose not to.

6. Wrap the distressed bead in another Adhesive Sheet 12 x 12.

7. Return the bead to the dowel. Dip adhesive covered bead into some Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE). Heat to set. While still warm, dip a second time into the UTEE. Reheat and redip until the UTEE wants to drip off. Rotate the bead while it cools to keep a smooth surface.

8. Remove bead from dowel and finish with jewelry making supplies.

ENJOY! Thanks for stopping by today!

Avery Elle Blog Hop Day 3: Wish Big

Hello! AJ here with day three of our blog hop with Avery Elle!

Avery Elle Blog Hop

AJOtto-AveryElle-1

I just LOVE Avery Elle’s stamps.  Hands down my most favorite.  I decided to use the new Storybook set for my card.  I adhered the patterned paper with E-Z Squares® Refillable. *Tip- use the E-Z® Dots Refillable Permanent for the very tip of the of the patterned paper corners where the regular runner or square don’t fit.  Then, I stamped the Kraft background and then embossed it with sparkly embossing powder.

AJOtto-AveryElle-2

I colored in the balloons with pencils and then popped that layer up with Crafty Foam Tape.  The cute little bow is adhered by snipping a Dodz™ in half and then rolling between your fingers to make a thin size piece to use.

Avery Elle Blog Hop Day 2: For Baby

Hello Blogosphere! It’s Tiffany here today and welcome to Day 2 of our Blog Hop with Avery Elle!

Avery Elle Blog Hop

TiffAveryElle1

For my card, I chose to work with the Storybook Stamp Set designed by Heather Campbell. I used my Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos and Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils to color my stamped images.

TiffAveryElle2

To attach my little twine banner, I used Adhesive Dots Small. You can’t even see the adhesive underneath those mini bows!

TiffAveryElle3

To adhere the banner die-cut, I used 3D Foam Squares because those little clothespins add a ton of dimension and I didn’t want to lose that! To make everything complete, I adhered my card front using my go-to adhesive, MyStik® Permanent Strips! Easy Peasy!

Thanks for hopping by,

Avery Elle Hop Day 1 – Seriously Awesome!

Hi and welcome to the Blog Hop with Avery Elle Stamps! All the contest details are below, but first lets talk about you. “You Are Seriously Awesome” is the sentiment I chose to use for my card! It’s a perfect sentiment for just about any card and any occasion!

Avery Elle Blog HopSeriously Awesome Card By Beth PingryThese stamps are 3.5 inches wide, so I decided to create my own background using an old book page, ink, a stencil and a pen. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder.

For the pen, I stamped it twice, cut out both sets and layered them on top of each other with black and white 3D Foam Squares. I had to cut them to fit the skinny pen, but they cut easily. I added 3D Foam Hearts for just a little bit more love. And glitter. Gotta have some glitter!

Dad You Rock Father’s Day Card

Happy Father’s Day!  I am sharing my Father’s Day card I made for my husband.


AJOtto-Dad-1

While my husband tries to put on his “yeah that’s super cute” face on any time I show him something I make, I know he really isn’t that impressed.  😉  I still make him cards, but I tend to simplify them quite a bit.

AJOtto-DAD-2

To start, I stamped my sentiment and then adhered my die cut letters to the front using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.  I pop every thing if possible, and usually use Crafty Foam Tape to do it.  Crafty Foam Tape makes the world go round.

AJOtto-DAD-3

Next I thought the 3D Foam Stars would add some thing special without leaning towards frilly. When ever I cover our 3D Foam Shapes, I use an old backing sheet from our 3D Foam Squares to cover with glitter.  AJOtto-DAD-4Cover with glitter and place on your card for a finishing touch!

enjoy!

Happy Birthday To You

Hello everyone! Big crafty power hugs from Asia King! Today I have a masculine birthday card to share.

Happy birthday to you_Asia King1

To create my card I prepared a 6″ x 6″ card blank and covered the front with patterned paper using MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Next I punched 13 2-inch circles from patterned papers, added some stamping and distressed the edges. After that I scored the circles to create square bases and raised flaps. I added them to the card using White Mounting Squares.

Happy birthday to you_Asia King2

 

To embellish my card I added a handful of Black 3D Foam Squares covered in glitter and a few buttons adhered using DODZ™ – Medium.

That’s it! Quick and easy project but so fun to make!

Supplies:
