"Feeling Witchy Today"
Stamp Artist - Verna Angerhofer |
Directions:
First of all I stamped the witch image in black Memories Ink,
and then I colored it in with Marvy Brush Markers. Next I cut
out the image and then adhered it to sticker paper with the sticky
side up. Following this I mixed orange glitter and Black EP together
and then proceeded to cover the sticker paper with this mixture.
I then heated the piece so that the EP would be embossed in the
mixture. This was then mounted to orange cardstock and cut out
with postage stamp decorative scissors. I then positioned this
all kiddy-corner onto the black main card, and finished it off
with a black ribbon bow.

glue the area, then sprinkle glitter (Diamond dust ultra fine
glitter) tap off excess glitter. Set aside.

the card.
- Using your red stamp pad (Stampin Up)

I stamped the Easter’s Meaning image onto the transparency

help me make a box around the design with the Sanford marker.

When the glue was dry, I rough cut around the design on the
transparency, applied some PeelnStick Adhesive to the backside
of the design and stuck the other side to some white cardstock.
I trimmed the white paper with the 12" Fiskars Paper Trimmer
and rounded the edges with the Fiskars Corner Edgers Rounder
scissors. I applied some UHU glue to the back of the white cardstock
and adhered it to some Summer Sun paper. I trimmed the white
paper with the 12" Fiskars Paper Trimmer and rounded the
edges with the Fiskars Corner Edgers Rounder scissors. I adhered
the picture to the sticky side of the magnet sheet and cut around
the design with scissors.

Prepare the CD by first sponging on

"Evergreen"
Stamp Artist - Amy Hughes |
|
"Enameled Poinsettias"
Stamp Artist - Kate Mahoney |
Supplies:
Green Stardream cardstock
Red cardstock with a woven pattern
White snowflake vellum
UM Platinum Ink
Embossing powder
Ribbon (black organza)
PearlEx press palettes or PearlEx powder mixed with gum arabic
Magenta Poinsettia Frame (26018-R)
Gold gel pen
Decorative corner punch
|
|
Instructions:
1. Stamp Magenta stamp on green Stardream
cardstock. Emboss with <foo>embossing powder. I think this
powder because it gives a high, dark emboss, which lends to the
enameled look of the piece.
2. Using an exacto knife, remove the
second frame from the outside. Discard this frame.
3. Color the frame using Pearl Ex mixed
with water & gum arabic. Load up your brush with pigment
and carefully drop the mixture into each little space on the
design. The embossed stamp, contains and repels the liquid. I
used Micropearl and Red Russet for the poinsettias. (The Micropearl
is fussy and transparent, and so may require a second pass.)
I used Super Bronze for the flower centers, and Duo Green-Yellow
for the leave. (On the outer frame, I brushed a coat of Duo Green-Blue
over just the centers of the leaves.
4. Cut a square of vellum slightly smaller
than the large frame, and attach it to the back. Then mount the
smaller inside square on top of the vellum, at an angle. Mount
this on the red cardstock.
5. Cut and score a sheet of green Stardream
cardstock to make a large folded card.
6. Trim the Red cardstock to slightly
smaller than the front of the green cardstock. Use the corner
punch on all four corners of the red cardstock. Mount the red
cardstock on the green folded card.
7. Use the gel pen to outline the edges
of the corner design and to outline the large frame.
8. Cut two small slits in the fold of
the card, about 1/2" from the edge. Thread the
ribbon through the slits and tie a bow on the outside edge of
the card.
