Teach me Thursday

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday!!!

It's Teach me Thursday over at My Creative Time!!
Means we are showing you any kind of tutorials,either by showing it with photos or Videos! And since i am not sure,about Videos i'de reather show you my tutorial with photos!! ;)

Ok,first of all,i am so bad when it comes to tutorials!! I am not the "WOW,i have amazing ideas,that the world needs to see" type of crafter!! haha

And even with this one,i had some help from my 10 year old daughter,as we where coloring eggs a few weeks ago! I bought a coloring Kit for her,which included,3 cups,3 egg colors and somce rice! You add some rice to a cup,add the color and egg and shake it!! The eggs looked so cool.But what i loved more,was how the rice looked after it!! ;) So,a shaker card was the next thing i thought of! :)

And here is what i used:
- Rice,
- Alcohol Inks,or i am pretty sure that reinkers will work too.But not Distress Ink reinkers.I tried   it,since these are the only ones i have.I already thought they wouldn't work,but i tried it anyways! ;)
- a cup,glass or whatever will work,i used this WOW! Foil Melt-It case
- I also cut down a piece of cardboard as my lid


First i added some rice to the foil case


 Than i added some drops of the Alcohol Ink...actualy a lot ;)


Closed it with the "lid" and shaked it for a few seconds


And here is the finished product! I had let it dry for about 3 - 5 hours,just to make sure i won't mess up my cardstock,when i add the rice to my card!


And here,i used some blue and red Alcohol Inks,since me as a purple lover need everything in purple!! hehe 



And here is my card
I also added some black sequins to the rice



Supplies:
WOW! Opaque Bright White Regular Embossing Powder,
WOW! Clear Gloss Regular Embossing Powder
Clear Wink of Stella,
Black Glitter Paper ( small stripe ),
Spectrum Noir Markers


Thank you so much for stopping by!!
Hope everyone will have a great day!!

Hello beautiful!

Hello everyone,

Happy Friday!!!! Glad it's finaly weekend!! :)
I am having a cold again,which is pretty normal here lately! One of us 4 is always sick,either my husband,me or the kids...so we are used to it already!! ;)

I made a card for the latest retro sketches Challenge! It's been a few month,since i played along!


I used the Mini Hearts Stencil from ScapBerry's for my background.I sponged the hearts with Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar,to give it some ombre look.Hard to see on the photo...to much light!
I die cut the Speech bubble and hello from MCT's Speech Bubble Sentiments! Than i stamped some hearts ( from MCT's Lots of Love ) on the speech bubble,heat embossed them with WOW! Metallic Gold Rhich embossing powder and sponged it with Worn Lipstick! Used the  same powder for the small golden stripe at the bottom! And the small stitched is from MCT's Stitched Heart layering Dies,which i covered with Glossy Accents!
Pretty hard to see,but i sponged the Hello with Spun Sugar,darker at the bottom and lighter at the top,also for an ombre look!


I wish you a great weekend everyone!!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

Freshly Made Sketches #183

Hello everyone,

Happy Wednesday!!

Welcome to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!
We have an awesome Sketch from our lovely Linda Callahan!! LOVE her Sketch for this week!!

This card was my second try! I used Pattern Papers on the first one,BUT i didn't like it at all! It's so hard for me lately to work with Patterns! Which is sad,since i'm a paper "collector"! ;) I have tons of 6x6 packs here! But whenever i try to use more than one sheet on my cards,it just doesn't work!!
So,i went back to some watercoloring and THAT made me happy again! hehe
I used Broken China and Iced Spruced for the watercolored tag and flicked some Heidi Swapp black and white colorshine on it!
I covered the black and white balloon and the white stars with WOW! Black and Clear Glitter embossing powder!  For the black stars,i used Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents!
The stripes on the bottom are also heat embossed with black glitter powder!


Supplies: Clearly Besotted - Basic Stripes - Happy Word Die - Sentimental Type ( birthday ), My Creative Time - Tag Die - Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies + More - Stitched Party Dies - Thanks for the Lift ( stars ), American Crafts - Twine

MCT - Inspiration Wednesday

Hello everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! :)
I hope you all had a wonderful Eastern with your loved ones! We had a great time!! :)

Today,is Inspiraton Wednesday over at My Creative Time!!

My card today was inspired by a Digital Layout by Melissa Bennett!! I used to be on Melissa's Creative Team when i was a Digital Scrapbooker! Melissa is not just a scrapbooker,she also designs Digital Kit's! She was my second Team i have ever been on,and she was my last one too!!
 I had a great time with her,and i really loved scrapping Digital! But when i started crafting cards,my days just didn't have enough hours to do both!! :( I really miss it sometimes!!

While i was browsing through my Pinterest,Melissa's Layout jumped right at me,and i knew i had to take her Layout as my inpsiration! The only problem i had,i couldn't stamp on black cardstock,i don't have the right colors of embossing powder.So i took a white layer to do all the stamping and everything else!!

Here is Melissa's Layout:



And here is my card:



supplies:
Tweet Me ( sentiment ),
Heidi Swapp black Colorshine,
My Favorite Things Hybrid Inks
