Makin' Waves

Today I have a fun summer card for you! The image is an SVG file that I cut with my Silhouette. I cut him about 5" wide. My card base is white card stock folded to make a 5" X 6" card base. I added a black mat cut at 4 3/4" X 5 3/4".  My patterned paper is from my stash. The blue is cut at 4 1/2" X 5 1/2". The reverse side of the blue wave paper is the brown patterned paper. I took a strip of the brown pattern paper and tore it and then cut it to 4 3/4". I then inked the paper with some Tea Dye Distress Ink. For his glass, I added a coat of Glossy Accents to it. I then added some Stampendous Mica Pearlized fragments so his drink had some ice cubes in it. I also sprinkled some Distress Glitter in Rock Candy on the wet Glossy Accents. Once it dried I added a second coat to add some additional dimension to the glass. To add the look of sea spray I added some of the Stampendous Frantage Embossing Powder in Shabby Blue. I stamped my sentiment in some Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To finish my card I added some rhinestones and a small shell from my stash. To attach my surfer penguin I used an Action Wobble so he could "surf".

Thanks for visiting us today. I would love it if you could leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

With Sympathy

My cousin's husband was killed on Monday in a senseless act of violence by a disgruntled employee. He worked for Benjamin Moore Paint in Vancouver, WA. I so feel for her. This is the card I made for her.

My card is white card stock cut and scored to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  I added a dark purple mat cut at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" and then my patterned paper mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4". My patterned paper is from the Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper pad.

I used Elegant Edges to cut a mat at 4". The shadow was cut out of light lavendar and the shadow was cut out of dark purple. I added some Fran tage to the dark purple mat. My butterfly was cut from a new Cottage Cutz die using my eBosser.  I sprayed the die cut with some pink glitter dust.

I adhered it to my die cut to my mat with some Glossy Accents. I then adhered the mats to my card base with some foam tape. My sentiment is stamped using a stamp from the WOW! embossing powder company and was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. To finish I add some rhinestones to help balance out the card.

I purchased my Fran-Tage and Cottage Cutz dies from Cutters Creek.

Cutters Creek Design Team 12 Days of Christmas

Welcome to the Cutters Creek Design Team's Twelve Days of Christmas. We are so happy you are joining us. Today is day 9 of our event.

Today I have for you a 5" X 7" card.  My card base is white card stock. I cut a piece of dark blue card stock 4 1/2" X 6 1/2". I stamped my image with some Versamark ink and embossed it using Opaque White WOW! embossing powder. To give the allusion that it's snowing, I added some Shabby White Fran-Tage. Next I cut another piece of white card stock about 3". I used a Memory Box die called Country Landscape to cut the top of my card stock. (AND Yes, Kim can now order the Memory Box dies, just ask). Next I added some glitter to the "snow" so it would glisten and then added it to my blue card stock. Once I had all of that attached to my card base I cut a Snowflake Doily from the Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge. This was cut at 1 1/2" out of blue card stock. I then cut a 1" circle out of white card stock and embossed my Happy Holidays sentiment using some Bodacious Blue WOW! glitter embossing powder. Thanks so much for visiting today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for day 10 and another great project from the Design Team. Please leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our projects.
