So Suzy & Crackerbox stamps week | Card 2

Hello there, crafty friends!

Here's my card 2 for our Inspiration week over at So Suzy and Crackerbox stamps blog. I really love the versatility of these stamps and different styles they are drawn in. They will fit any stamper with any taste, isn't that great?! I think it is. 

I used here a very elegant sentiment called Dream Forever. I heat embossed only a half of it in gold.

For the background I used Spellbinders Shapeabilities dies called Elegant Posts in a slightly different way. 

Here's how they look.

I took the very top one and turned it several times in different positions to find the one i like the most. 

Placed onto gold foil cardstock and cut off the excess. 

Really love this elegant look, hope you like it too.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

So Suzy& Crackerbox stamps week | Card 1

Hello there, dear friends!

Today I'd like to share with you my idea to inspire you with Suzy&Crackerbox stamps the entire week, one post a day. I think it'd be fun and motivating for you to try smth new.

So here's my card #1.

I always wanted to make smth like a bakery window with different types of pastry calling you)) So the tagline of this card is That awkward moment when pastry is talking to you :))

I used here:

Awning stamp

Food set of 5

and for the sentiment Hello Gorgeous stamp

I stamped the Awning with red Simply Sinful So Suzy Ink Bites and outlined with a black liner to make it match the other outlined images. 

Using square dies cut out a window, adhered a piece of acetate to the back to imitate window glass and places all the colored images underneath. By the way, colored with Chameleon pens. The awning was popped up with some foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Snowy Village ft So Suzy Stamps

Hello there, sweet friends!

That Holiday card series 2017  took alot of power and a couple of days I was just doing mothing, I mean nothing special but the brain was always active :) A little break was perfect to think up new cards :)

So today's my turn to post over at So Suzy blog using their stamps. 

I used:

Cottage & Trees So Suzy stamp

Gift Pile So Suzy stamp

Pile with Shovel Sm So Suzy stamp

Santa Sleigh Sm So Suzy stamp

Miracles Happen ( sentiment) Crackerbox stamp

Tonic Studios PVA Funky Glue 120ml

And here are some steps:

I really like the scenes in frames and deciede to make my own. Very easy to do : cut a frame with two square dies ( one is bigger than another), the cetral left over will be the snow drifts or any other element of the scene. Cut this cetral part with your landscape die that you have and use all the elements like pazzle pieces. But in this case i wanted to make a shaker card. So I sponged the sky part with Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks and sprinkled with water. I also stamped the Santa Sleigh Sm with Jet Black AArchival ink a bit shifted to the left as if Santa left the gifts and was flying further to another house. I also sponged the snow drifts with TUmbled Glass Distress ink.

While you still don't have an acetate piece on the back side of the frame, insert the sky piece using the frame as a guide in this case you will be sure that this piece is placed correctly.

Stamped the images and colored with my alcohol Chameleon pens.

I adhered the acetate to the back side of the frame and snow drifts as well but only side and bottom part to have a chance to move the images until i liked the placement. The funniest part was to add snow to the scene with Tonic glue and dry iridescent glitter. The glue seems bright white but it dries totally clear. I wanted to make more of a flat shaker card so I used only one layer of foam tape and filled in the shaker area with iridescent flakes.

And here is the finished card! I really love that shovel))

👉 I have someting interesting to tell you. So Suzy stamps store is  going to have free shipping from November 23rd to 28th and Christmas stamps on sale from 15-20% off to celebrate Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday with you!! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Day 6 | Holiday card series 2017

Hello there, dear friends!

I've made almost a half of my Holiday Card series projects featuring So Suzy/CrackerBox stamps and I'm so glad I have another half for you to inspire. Today's day 6 and I've prepped a shaker card :)

I used:

Santa Giving Gifts 

Expect Miracles (sentiment)

Snowflakes by Olesya Lg

Snowflakes by Olesya Med

Snowflakes by Olesya Sm

 Yes, I designes these snowflakes :)

Some steps:

I stamped the Santa Giving Gifts  onto a separate piece of paper using Jet Black Archival ink, fussy cut it out with scissors and a kraft knife. Adhered to the purple panel and heat embossed the Expect Miracles (sentiment) in white.

Using a heat resistant acetate ( I took acetate for printing on black and white lazer printers) and heat embossed the snowflakes of all three sizes in white. Don't forget to use anti-static tool or baby powder like me to protect the acetate.

I adhered the acetate to the back side of the frame, added one layer of foam tape and filled in the shaker with flat confetti and sequins.

I heat embossed those snowflakes on a matte side of the acetate that's why it looks a bit milky on a picture.

In case you missed the previous days, here they are:
