Anything Goes

We are showcasing Penny Black Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

This week I had the urge to pull out my Heidi Swapp Minc Machine and do some foiling. These Stick and Shine sheets from Penny Black are SO easy to use and I LOVE how they give a gorgeous shiny backdrop to your design. I picked this music themed one called Shimmering Tune

I used some teal foil and ran it through the Minc with the Stick and Shine sheet then die cut it using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Dies. I die cut some foliage using the Tim Holtz Garden Greens dies and kept them white so that my Memory Box Azure Dragonflies would pop out. I die them from foiled cardstock and added some vellum wings and a few gems to add sparkle!

I added a die cut (from foiled cardstock) a sentiment from a Pink Fresh Studio die set specific one no longer available but lots of other options)..

Cute and Cuddly

We are showcasing Newton’s Nook Designs Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

I started by creating a Rounded Rectangle card panel and used the Newton’s Nook Cascading Stars Stencil with Distress Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink to blend a background. I went over that with some Distress Translucent Texture Paste and set it aside to dry.

I die cut a frame using Avery Elle Rounded Rectangle dies (retired but a similar effect can be created using these Stitched Dies from Waffle Flower).I backed this with a square of vellum .

I then took the Avery Elle Pop Up Frenchie stamps and stamped him in black. Then to make him “cute and cuddly” I coated the black areas in Thermoweb Transfer Gel using a paint brush. After letting this dry for a few hours I ran it through my Minc with Black Velvet Flock Transfer Sheet. It leaves a gorgeous fuzzy feel to it!

One of my favourite things to do is add metallic foil to things! It’s messy and fiddly but the end result is so worth it. Tim Holtz ideaology is such a fun thing to use this technique with.

I created this card using Salvaged Heart and covered them in red metallic foil. I adhered one to a Distress watercolour card base that I added Distress inks to in a smooshy fashion!

Here I added foil in rainbow colours to some salvaged deer from Tim Holtz Ideaology!

The possibilities are truly endless!
