Shaker Card featuring Hero Arts Mermaid Kisses

By Mary Polanco Designs March 31, 2018 // 1 comment

Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Today, I'm doing a super simple shaker card that I feel packs a big punch. Whenever you use clean line, symmetrical shapes for your shaker cards, the results are seamless, easy to assemble, and a fun card for your recipient.

I started off the card by making a fun watercolor background and then stenciled over it with Distress Oxides to get the water affect. While letting that dry, I worked on my mermaid. She was so fun to color with my alcohol markers! After that I cut a frame using Lawn Fawn rectangle stitched dies and attached heat resistant acetate so that I could emboss my sentiment on it.

When heat embossing on acetate, remember to move your heat gun around a bit; don't stay too long on one area. Ask me how I figured THAT one out. lol Assembly of the card was so easy and came together seamlessly! I used double mounted foam tape on the back of the frame, and then poured these amazing sequins down on my background. I placed the frame over it and bam...shaker done!

Alcohol Inked Galaxy by Mary Polanco

By Mary Polanco Designs March 24, 2018 // No comments

Hello everyone! Today's project features alcohol inks, making a fun, bold galaxy background. This was so much fun to make and I LOVE this cute stamp set by Lawn Fawn called Beam Me Up!

I started off inking up my Yupo Paper with different colors of alcohol ink. I added some alcohol blending solution along the way to mix the colors and I also used a straw to help things along by blowing on the inks.

After getting the colors the way I liked, I took some white acrylic paint and put a dab on my clear block. I added a spritz of water and then splattered the paint on my card using both a paint brush and a toothbrush.....yes a toothbrush! THAT'S how you get the "millions of stars" look.

I stamped and colored my little aliens and then added googly eyes to the big one and dots of Glossy Accents to the smaller alien. I backed them on some vellum because they would have gotten lost otherwise. Lastly, I backed the card panel onto a pink glitter cardstock, and then on the Neenah 110lb white card base, making sure to round the corners of all of the layers.

Thanks so much for crafting with me today! Let me know if you have any questions!!!

A birthday card by Noga Shefer

By Noga Shefer March 21, 2018 // 4 comments

Hi Crafty Friends! I’ts Noga and today I'm here to share a birthday card with Little Monster - Neat & tangled stamps

The base of the cards was cut from white cardstock using the frame die from Frames & Flags Die Set - Newton's Nook Designs .

With Claritystamp STENCIL BRUSHES Set of 4 I made a purple stain in the middle of the card using Tim Holtz shaded lilac Distress Oxide Ink Pad from Tim Holtz Distress Oxide NEW Ink Pads BUNDLE OF 12.

The sentiment was stamped with a greeting from the stamp set Little Monster - Neat & tangled stamps with Tim Holtz black soot Distress Oxide Ink Pad.

The monster was stamped from the stamp set Little Monster - Neat & tangled stamps on smooth white cardstock using Jet Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers BV04, BV02, V17, BV13, C1, C3, C5, R35 and R29.

The muffin colored in with Copic Markers: Y17, E37, E15, R29, R35 and the top was covered with Glossy Accents

To finish the card I added 3 seqiuins from Wild Orchid Sequin Mix - Neat & Tangled.

For this project I used:
