Dogs and Cats

Lover Boy

Paw Print Stencil

If you are a cat and dog lover you are not going to want to miss this month's release at A Colorful Life Design.

I'll show just 2 of the stencils in this post: Lover Boy and Paw Prints Stencil:

For Lover Boy I use mini cubes from The Stamp Market: Citrine, Leafy, Island and Jade. The stencil is a 6" X 6", so I cut part of it to make a doggy bookmark, too!

For the Paw Prints stencil, I used mini cubes from The Stamp Market, Hero Arts and My Favorite Things. I have accumulated quite a few mini cubes over the years and very seldom use them, so I made an effort to break them out! The silhouette cat is an old Stampin' Up! punch from my stash.

The sentiment for Lover Boy comes from Art Impressions Dog House Cubbies and for Paw Prints - Honey Bee Stamps - Rainbow Bridge.

Stay Crafty with Hero

Hi friends! Today I will just post a short blog to enter the Stay Crafty With Hero Rainbow Challenge:

Looking at this card, it pretty self-explanatory on how it was created:

1)Ink Blended Rainbow Colors of Distress Ink on a panel of Hero Arts Premium Dove White 100 lb. Cardstock using the MFT Rectangle Trio Stencil.

2) Stamped the cutie-patoodie frog and sentiment from Hero Arts Clear Stamp from the Hoppy Day set with Altenew's Obsidian Black Ink with my MISTI for perfect alignment.

3) Die Cut using my Big Shot with Spellbinders Gilded Nested Rectangle Die Set and used fun foam to pop up.

4) Mounted with Sizzix Making Essential Express Glue to an A2 size card base made with Hero Arts Premium Dove White 100 lb. Cardstock.

5) Finally added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss White and let dry overnight.

I made a second card, but not a complete rainbow!

Aren't these frogs just the cutest things?!

Similar but different:

After I finished the post, I went out to water the flowers and guess what was there?! A tiny frog!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Hoppy Day!

MFT Summer School #2 Rainbow

Welcome to my post for Class #2 of My Favorite Things Summer School - Rainbow!

Who doesn't love a rainbow card in any shape or manner? I wanted to use my MFT's Big Balloons Stencil:

I started with Simon Hurley Stark White Card Stock for its brightness and ability to blend colors. I used 6 Distress Inks (shown below) and my Wendy Vecchi Make Art Station with Scrapbook.com's Blending Tools with Foam Applicators. The Make Art Station holds the stencil perfectly, so it is not necessary to use a spray adhesive. I am not a fan of spray adhesives - 2 reasons - one, I have to walk downstairs and go outside to spray; two, it remains sticky and harder to store.

I use the Make Art Station on almost every card I make. Here is a picture of Wendy Vecchi showing a close up of her stations in 2 sizes and available coordinating tools:

Next, I used a ruler and a Copic Multiliner and drew strings from each balloon.

The "WISHES" came from MFT's Big Birthday Dienamics:

I cut the letters twice from scrap white and once from MFT's Black Licorice cardstock. Stacked them together with liquid adhesive and adhered the finished letters to the bottom third of the slimline card. The word "BIRTHDAY" and the inside sentiment comes from a retired MFT set called Delicious Birthday.

I left all embellishments off for I wanted this to be either a masculine or feminine card. These balloons came out so striking, I just love the card. Now I want to try all the other shapes in the stencils and use them mixed up, too!

If you are a card maker I hope you play along with the Summer School classes. The posts are due by August 14th and thanks...for visiting my blog and sticking to the end!

Pet Sympathy Card for FMS#390

I wanted to participate in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for this week and my card is loosely inspire by the sketch:

The card was made by stamping the beautiful plaid type image from the Little Elephant stamp set with a rainbow of colors. I used an acrylic block for stamping and just "eye-balled" the layers. I was really pleased with the outcome! I cut the finished, stamped piece with a Rectangle Stitched Framelit.

Next I stamped (2 step stamp) and punched the dog from the Dog Builder set. I also punched 3 hearts using the same punch. A thin rectangle frame was cut from Bermuda Bay card stock and glued with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The center rainbow piece was glued the same way. I like using the liquid glue so that I have a little bit of "wriggle" room to get it straight.

The sentiment was from the same set, but I hand cut the word "Sorry" and glued flat to the card. The inside is a beautiful sentiment from the same set:
