I love you with all my Heart ~ Clean & Simple Cards Day 4

Hi there! I am back today to share a card I created following a technique from Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Cards 4 ~ Day 4.

Day 4 focused on Adding Texture.

I chose to do the Faux Embossing Technique.

I created my background using My Creative Time's Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO dies. 

My sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps PKSC-01 January 2012. I heat embossed it in black embossing powder on some Vellum. The heart in colored in with a Copic marker and I added some Glosssy Accents on top. A few Pearl Satin Sequins from Neat & Tangled finished off the card.

I'm having a great time learning in the this class and have a few more techniques to try!

I will be back with more!

Thanks for stopping by!

Outta This World ~ Clean & Simple Cards Day 2

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!

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.
