I’m Vicki Finger — a wife, mom and Mimi to 12 grandkids. I am also Puppy Mom to Holly Noelle and Reese Mackenna, my two little Yorkies.  My hubby and I have been married for 33 years. I started out as a scrapbooker and Creative Memories Consultant in 1997. I dabbled in card making very occasionally until May of 2015. Once I started my blog, Twinkling Paper Studio, on August 1st of 2015, I was “All In”. I give a lot of “how to” information on my blog so that you can try to recreate a similar project if you like. My style is Classic and Elegant and usually pretty clean as well.  I hope I can inspire you in some way when you are creating.

Hannah Rubenstahl, crafter at Fanciful Spaces, is mother to a lovely 5-year-old girl and wife to an amazingly supportive husband. She is a life-long crafter who has recently begun to focus on and hone her talents in the world of card crafting. Using the skills she learned as a scenic artist and in her formal education in technical theater, she comes to the world of paper crafting with unique experience and perspective. When not crafting or playing Paw Patrol with her daughter, she can frequently be found playing board games and watching Star Trek. Captain James Tiberius Kirk is her future husband. ðŸ˜‰




Welcome! We are simply thrilled to have you on the team!


Please come back tomorrow to take a look at what Vicki has created for us!

All About You Dies & Distress Oxide Backgrounds!



Hi!

I am back with another post sharing some fun cards I created using distress oxide inks.



I made several backgrounds while playing with distress oxides today! However, just 2 of them turned into final cards for now! I will share the remaining as they turn into cards here or on Instagram Channel. These inks are so much fun to play with!

For my first card, I used a strip of wide Post-It tape to mask horizontal stripes and blend different colors of Distress Oxide ink. [Credits: I saw Kristina Werner doing something like this in a recent video]. I die cut the words Thank You from All About You Die Cut twice, stacked them together and heat-emboss with Gold Embossing Powder and adhered those to the background.



For my next card, the background was were created by putting Distress Oxide Ink & water on a craft sheet and press White Watercolor cardstock by Ranger into it. Then, heat set, spritz with water, heat set.. repeat. Then, die cut the words celebrate You from All About You Dies by Concord & 9th. I colored the die cut hearts with Red Altenew Ink, Wink of Stella Clear Shimmer and Ranger Glossy Accents and adhere them to center of letter 'O'.



Isn’t this All About You Die Set by Concord & 9th classic? Love! Here's link to another card I created last week using these dies if you're interested in more.

Hope you like these. Thank you for stopping by!

My FIRST Layering Flower Bouquet Card!

Hello Everyone!   I hope you had a great week and looking to another crafty weekend?

Now, I made these sweet Note cards to ‘Just Saying Hello’, for those times you just need to say Hello.

These cards were a bit of a challenge for me, since these are my First Layering Cards and speaking of Challenges I entered my card into the Altenew Inspiration Challenge and you can, too.

June 2017 Inspiration Challenge – White On White Focal Point

My Card:



I choose to create a one layer card using Garden Treasure Stamp set by Altenew.



 

I made masks for the large flower, leaves and the small flower by cutting them out with my Scan n cut2, but you can stamp the impressions on masking paper and cut them out by hand.





After stamping my images, using Altenew inks, I used my bone folder to crease the upper and lower sides, to make the ‘band’ .  This makes the image appear as if it’s raised up on the card.

Then, I  stamped and embossed  ‘Just Saying Hello’ sentiment, from the Painted Butterfly Stamp set by Altenew.

All my supplies were purchased at Kraftgali store.

Thank you, for visiting and please let me know if  you have any questions or would like to see a process video?…I’m here to help. ðŸ™‚

Hugs and Blessings,
