NBUS Challenge #10 (Bubble Wrap)

Week #3 for Darnell's NBUS challenge. I have chosen to use three NBUS products and one NBUT (technique). First I attempted a new marbling technique using shaving cream, alcohol ink and a stencil. My plan was to teach this to 8 - 12 ladies but three of us made one big mess. This piece was die cut with NBUS (wonky) die from MFT. The dog was stamped (NBUS) and colored with NBUS Zig markers. I mounted the stenciled piece onto a piece of (smelly) foam sheet. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed. I punched the small heart from a snippet of the background paper.

The option was to use bubble wrap and since I had none I chose the bubble stencil fromArtplorations.

 

Supplies:

MFT Blueprints 15 (NBUS)

Unity "...May Hope Sustain You"

Stampers Anonymous (NBUS) "Crazy Dogs"

Artplorations Bubbles Stencil

Zig Clean Color Brush Markers (NBUS

NBUS Challenge #9 - NBUS and CASE

This week Darnell has asked us to not only use a NBUS product but CASE a card. I chose this new stamp set from MFT and selected the CASE card which I found on Pinterest. This card which I cased is similar to my style of card making using Copics, a die, stencil, distress inks, embossing and a fun stamp. The card maker I chose is Kuni from kunisbastelblog.blogspot.com.

Typically I do not case a card but because Kuni and I share a similar style of card it was easy for me to case.

Supplies:

Stamps - MFT "Sweet Succulents," "Big Greetings"

Die - Lil Inkers Stiched Rectangle

Ink - Copics, Distress Ink

Other - Enamel Dots (Paper Studio, Stencil (Michael's)

CASology: Week 232: CUT

The guest designer at CASology this week is Anita from France. In October my husband and I had the wonderful experience of meeting Anita and her brother while we were in Bordeux. I am happy to make a card in her honor - she is very special.

This was an easy card to put together I used arrow dies from MFT and die cut onto a piece of stenciled paper which was in my UFO box. The sentiment (MFT) was stamped and heat embossed, and I used a corner punch on the corners before attaching to white cs.

NBUS Challenge #8 "Colored Pencils on Kraft"

Congrats Darnell on your Blog Birthaversary Surprise Challenge and celebrating  five years of your blog and 46 years of wedded bliss to Mister Kevin.

For this first week of your NBUS challenge I chose these stamps from Purple Onion. For those who do not know the stamps come individually and one creates their own scene, so this card used three stamps and the sentiment and all are from PO. First I stamped with VersaFine ink on SU! crumb cake (kraft) paper and then  heat embossed and colored with Derwent Inktense colored pencils and a SU! blender pen. I used black cs to mat the image and then popped it up with mounting tape and attached to the base card (kraft).

CAS Mix Up Card Challenge January 2017

Stamping - Liquid Color - Embossing - Die Cutting

My card making group played with alcohol inks last week. For this piece I used glossy paper and this was the first generation and the second and third pieces were much lighter in color and I used all three pieces in cards. I trimmed the piece with a pierced MFT die and then matted with SU! pink passion cs. The butterfly is a die/set combo from MFT and I used gold embossing powder on it as well as the sentiment.

 This piece is brighter than I would normally use but I only had three inks. This card will be sent to two very old and dear friends who will be celebrating 51 years of wedded bliss. Honestly I love the font on the sentiment and I think it is SU!

CAS Watercolour Card Challenge - January 2017 SNOWFLAKE

This seems like a perfect January birthday card and I have someone in mind. I began by doing emboss resist onto water color paper  and using VersaMark I stamped the snowflakes and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Next I sponged distress ink onto the piece and brushed water around the snowflakes and wiped off the excess water, but added a few droplets. The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and I embossed with gold embossing powder, which I love. This piece was attached to  the focal piece and then with mounting tape attached to SU! tempting turquoise, but I meant to use white. Oh well. The stamp set and sentiment are MFT Snowflake Spendor.
