Wishing you sunny days -- Unity stamp

I received my order from Unity stamp last week. Very cute design. I love it.  Today I started to play them. First I chose this sunny peep stamp. Very cute and simple image.

 I used Gelli arts gel printing and acrylic paint to make background.

I stamped sunny peep on the watercolor paper. I watercolored all images and sky and ground. After dry thoroughly, I generally tore off the edges by hand. Before glued it to background sheet, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set.

I only glued the center area by double side adhesive tape. I lift the four corner to make dimension.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart

Last week I went to Hobby Lobby I found canvas panels 50%off. So decided to buy some for my cardbase. It is thin but kind of heavy. I want to hang it on the wall or leave it on the shelf or give my friend for a gift. It's not for mail. I think it good way to try.

I used 140lb watercolor paper to color sky and earth. Let's dry. Then I stamped water droplets and sentiment. I only stamped part of water droplets. After I stepped ink pad, I wiped some droplets ink off . Then I got what I wanted. It's very simple.

I cut the edge and glue it on the canvas panels. I like white background for this card to make clear look. I glued 5x7 canvas panel on 6x6 one to make dimension.

Wild at heart

Today I made this card by using Wild at Heart stamp set from Gina K. Designs. This is third time I used it. I will say I love this stamp set, specially for background. I will continue to play it.

I used my Misti to stamp this large image to cardstock. I used different color on stamp to get mix color result. Then I stamped sentiment from the same stamp set on the white tissue paper and added Stain finished glue on all over card.

After it dry thoroughly, I cut the edge border and sponged the same color to card. Also sponged the card edge.

I added foam tape to glue card to cardbase. It made a dimension.

What's inside?

It is close to the end of school year. I start more busy than usual.  Various classes and activities start to rehearsal and recital. It's squeezed my craft time.

Yesterday I made this card, but not completely finished. Today I am done. I like cool cat stamp set. I thought it can use for new balloon set will be fun. So I created this card. Looks like she is so cautious: what's inside? Then balloon brings her to sky without preparing.

I sponged green, brown and stone color on the white cardstock. Then die cut and got land, trees, road and fence. Also I die cut balloon on the white cardstock for background and fuss cut pieces of balloon by new MFT pattern paper to decorate balloon. I cut the cat and colored it. I also added color to grass land to make dimension.

I colored blue sky on the cardbase. Also die cut a note window on the grass . I thought this is fun. Finally I glue everything on the card.

Water droplets

Since I bought this water droplets texture stamp, I wanted to use on it every project. I really really like it. Today I made this simple card to say hello with all my friends.

Because this is simple card, so I chose the linen texture cardstock for the cardbase. I sponged really light blue and green color on right lower corner of card. Then I sponged this two colors on the water droplets stamp. The position is matching the color on the card. Stamped it on the card.

I die cut the hello sentiment by black cardstock. Before cut it, I added the double side adhesive paper on the back. So after die cut, I just peeled off back paper and stuck hello on the card. It's easy way. Also I glued three clear drop over the hello to look like raindrops. I chose clear one because I wanted it looks like in the air doesn't show.

Birthday card made by Belle

Last night my daughter Belle made this cute birthday card for her friend who's birthday is today. She found all around my leftovers to make this card. I think she did very good. So I decided to post her card today.

Magic slider card

Yesterday I saw a video on YouTube about making a magic slider card. (I will list video link below.) It was very fun. So I decided to make one.

This is what I made today. I got happy mail from MFT.  So I decided to chose MFT new stamp set to make this magic slider card.

I made A2 size cardbase, a white cardstock 4x7 in, a white cardstock 3 1/4x 31/4 in and a same size acetate. I stamped balloon image on the same position at small white cardstock and acetate by Misti. Here Misti is very useful. I did very bad job on acetate. I don't have staz on. I try twice and embossed.  It's still have some smashed. I gave up this time. Hope next time I can get clear images. I colored balloon on white cardstock.

I used glue dot to glue is to pieces together. I pouched small circle to fold half and cut of bottom and stuck over the glue dot position. I pounch a tiny hole and added twines for pulling slider later.

I fold 4x7 cardstock half. For folding side cut the length of 3 1/4 to matching cardstock with balloon' s length.  Put acetate piece on top. And white card with colored balloon hide inside. Like a sandwich.
It's hard to explain. Please watch Dawn's video that I linked below.

I die cut a window on cardbase by MFT stitched square dies.  This window size is only matching your image(my balloon) .

I glued folded 4x7 card on the cardbase that open side to up and can show balloon through square window.

Finally I decorated the front of card. This card can't be opened like normal, only pulls the twines to slide.

Chunky Monkey 2

I love those cute monkeys. I can't stop to play with them. Today I made this card using a hanging monkey and I made some falling bananas. It looks he can't hold more bananas. So cute.

I stamped monkey and bananas first. Then stamped monkey on post it to make a mask covered on monkey. And I stamped the tree branch. After took off mask paper, it looked like monkey 's tail hanging on the tree.

I used the liquid mask to cover all images. Waited it dry thoroughly. Then I sponged Distress ink tumbled glass to card for background color. Very light but clean. I rubbed off mask and started colored monkey, bananas and tree branch by color pencils.

Wild at heart and water droplets

I created this card by wild at heat stamp set from Gina K. Designs and water droplets from Designs by Ryn. I really like those two stamp sets. When I first time to watch Melanie Muenchinger's video on YouTube. I rushed to Send an order from Gina K. website.  I like this background flower stamp. After I received it, I tried a lot times on the paper. Different brand ink and cardstock will get different images. I will continue to play it.

For water droplets texture stamp set, I ordered almost all from Ryan's website. First time I saw the picture from Pinterest, I just got shocked. That's water droplets looks like real one. I can't believe that's a stamp. That picture didn't give more information, even didn't mention was the name. So I started research on google. Finally I got information. It designs by Ryn from Canada. Likely Ryn has her website to sell it to worldwide. So I sent my first order.  After I got them, I started to play it on my card. Also I started to follow mixed media videos. Today I try it on my card.

I stamped the background flowers on my cardstock by mini Misti because it is large image and I can stamp many time without problem. Then I stamped water droplets on a white tissue paper. I left water droplets on the position that where I wanted on the card. Then I used Mod Podge satin finished glue it on the card. I brushed glue all over the card to give it satin finished look.

After dry thoroughly, I stamped sentiment on it and give the flowers a tiny color. After I glue it on the cardbase, I added a black line along the card to make dimension.

I used sentiment from the same stamp set, but I wiped off " go banana".

I added the Jewel Drop to balloon. And around sentiment.
