A Friend Knows The Song

I hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day and was able to spend some time with family.  Today I want to share one more card using Want 2 Scrap chipboard embellishments.  Since these Style E pieces have such a lovely swirl, I wanted this card to be light and elegant.  I started with light pink layered on white and then added a white oval die cut with Spellbinders’ Oval Majesty 4.

The chipboard swirls were covered with Versamark Ink and then Lana Pink Embossing Powder was added and heat set.  This process was repeated to provide good coverage.

The sentiment, from Sparkle N Springkle’s Beautiful Friendship set, was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat set with Pear Star Embossing Powder.  This was layered behind a white die, cut with Spellbinders’ medium size Fleur de Elegance #3 die and layered over the chipboard pieces.  The rose, also from the Beautiful Friendship set, was stamped in brown with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copic Markers.  It was fussy cut and added to the card front, after adding a small touch of Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter, using a glue pen.

Thank you for stopping by!

A Bird With A Song

My card today combines Want 2 Scrap chipboard and a sentiment from the Sparkle N Sprinkle's Birdsong Stamp Set.  I have always thought chipboard was more for scrapbooking layouts, but really love what it adds to a card.

I created a template using a Spellbinders’ Circle Nestability Die.  This was layered on the cardfront and the circular area was covered with Versamark Ink and then heat set with Candlelight Embossing Powder.  The Small Bird Flourish chipboard was also covered with Versamark Ink, then Poolside Embossing Powder, and heat set.  It was adhered over the embossed circle.

The sentiment was heat embossed with Candlelight EP and then Versamark Ink was added to the outer edges of the card front and more Candlelight EP added and heat set.  The second layer is also heat embossed along the edges but this time I covered more area and used Poolside EP.  Because this embossing powder is semi-translucent, it appears lighter on white cardstock than on the chipboard.

I did case this from a similar style card I saw on line. I thought I pinned it so I could give credit but now I can't find it anywhere.  If you think it was you, please let me know so I can recognize your work.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

Sparkle N Sprinkle's April 1st Reveal Blog Hop

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's
 April 1 New Reveal Blog Hop!

This month the Designers were asked to create projects with Want 2 Scrap chipboard products.  If you are able to visit any of the shows that SNS is participating in this year, you will notice SNS now has a larger booth.  Margaret and crew are sharing this new, larger space with Want 2 Scrap.
We wanted to showcase various projects using both SNS products and W2S products together.  Hopefully, you'll see some new uses of these products that you may not have thought of before.  Chipboard can be used for more than scrapbook layouts or mini albums :-).  So sit back, enjoy the Hop and get ready to have those creative juices flowing!

 Wonder who the Mystery Host will be this month????

I am not one to use a lot of chipboard on projects but love some of the ways I have seen it used with embossing powders.  I really liked the scroll font used with this chipboard “Love” and decided to create a wedding card using Sparkle N Sprinkle’s Happily Ever After stamp set.

The card base is die cut using a Spellbinders’ die cut and layered on super adhesive and a darker purple layer.  The remaining exposed adhesive was covered with the new Hyacinth Velvet Glitter. 

The Happily Ever After image and sentiment were both heat embossed onto the card front using Morning Glory embossing powder.

I covered the chipboard word with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it twice with Silver Pearl embossing powder.  Then I covered it with Versamark Ink one more time, covered it with Bridal glitter, and heat set.  The Silver Pearl EP melts and keeps the glitter in place.  I added a few pearls to the heart shape and adhered to the card front.

These pretty roses are also from Want 2 Scrap.  I adhere several to the top and bottom, arched around the image and sentiment.

The Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenge also begins today.  There are lots of prizes and recognition badges.  Come check out how you can become a SNS Featured Artist as well.  The theme is always Anything Goes using Loose Glitter, Embossing Powder, and/or Flock.
