Outta This World ~ Clean & Simple Cards Day 2

If you are looking for the Craftin Desert Divas January Release Blog Hop Day 1 click HERE or scroll down.

As I mentioned earlier this week I am taking the Clean & Simple Cards 4 from Online Card Classes. I am loving all the fun techniques I am learning! If you have never checked out Online Card Classes I highly recommend it. There are many to choose from and I plan on taking some more classes in the near future.

Today's card is from Day 2 of the class. It features in the Border Gap Die Cutting and Masking technique.

I love how this card came out. It is a very simple technique. To create my gaps I used the Fancy Edges 2 dies from My Craft Spot. These are no longer available but I am sure you can find something similar elsewhere. Once I had my cuts I masked off what I didn't want inked. I used Tim Holtz Distress inks in Fired Brick, Wild Honey, and Squeezed Lemonade to create my ray.

I stamped the spaceship from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-166 Happy Trails Spaceship and colored it with Copic Markers. I added some white gel pen accents and some Glossy Accents to the window. Around the spaceship I added some silver sequins. I thought they were the perfect little somethin' somethin' the card needed.

My sentiment is from the same Peachy Keen Stamps set. I just heat embossed it with clack embossing powder.

I popped up my panel with some foam tap and the card was finished!

This was so fun!

I hope to have more for you very soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

I started with this cut file from My Scrap Chick called Heart Treat Cone. It is super easy to put together.

Here is a picture of it from the top.

A close up of the sentiment.

I cut a tag with my Silhouette and stamped my sentiment. Then I added a heart brad that I have had in my stash forever.

I used the Kisses and XOXO stamps from the Sending Love set and stamped them onto the free SVG file that you will get when you purchase these stamps.

I hope you enjoyed my project for today!

OCC Clean & Simple 4 Day 1

Hi There!  I am currently taking the Clean & Simple 4 class from Online Card Classes and learning so many fun techniques. 

The card I am sharing today is from Day 1 called 3D Embossing. Kristina Werner share this technique.

I know this is a Halloween card! I need a nice sized sentiment and as I was going through all the many stamps I have, I came to the realization that I have very few that are a nice large size.

For this card I used Peachy Keen Stamps PK-1434 Fall Face Parts Large for my sentiment and PK-1381 Polkadot Background  for my background.

I decided to frame my sentiment with a Martha Stewart spiderweb punch that I inked up with Versa Mark in k and heat embossed it with some Black embossing powder.  To finish up my card I mounted my mat on a black cardstock base.

This technique is pretty easy. I did get a little crooked with my sentiment but over all it may be something I try again in the future.

Today we are showcasing the Sending Love stamp set.

For my card I used a free file that was available on the Craftin Desert Divas Gallery over on Facebook. I thought these little sheep were so cute. 

I stamped their face with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-1357 Sweet on You Face assortment. I colored in their eyes with my Copic markers and added some Glossy Accents for some shine. I wanted the sheep wool to have some texture so I embossed it with the D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder.

My sentiment is from the new Sending Love set.

Here is a little close up.

You & Me ~ with My Craft Spot and a Giveaway!

Hey! I am finally posting my first card for 2015!

I hope your year is starting out well and that you are excited for what is to come!

Today I am sharing  an easy Valentine or Anniversary card here and on the My Craft Spot Blog.

This will be my last post for My Craft Spot but I will always enjoy using the My Craft Spot products in my crafting.

For this card I started out with some Echo Park paper and added a few elements. I used the Rolled Roses Die and a leaf from the Flowers - Daisy Dies for my beautiful rose.  I layered this on some Tuxedo Black Crinkle Ribbon.

I used the Postage Stamp Die and stamped it with sentiments from the Tiny Tags 2 and Tiny Tags 3 stamps. I added a few enamel dots and sprayed my rose with some sparkle and the card was finished.

There are still many products in the My Craft Spot Shop.
