Eclipse Encouragement Card as April kicks off National Cancer Control Month!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share an Eclipse Designed Encouragement Card today as April kicks off National Cancer Control Month: The Importance of Cancer Screenings and Prevention!! So if you haven't schedule any of those Screening Appointments, please do so!! 

Early detection is SO IMPORTANT!! 

I started by stamping and embossing the Full On Floral Stamp Set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps onto a White Cardstock using the WoW Embossing Ink and the Blue Glitz Embossing Glitter Powder!! SWOON!! This color combo is STUNNING!!

Next I cut it down to create a stitched rectangle panel for my A2 Card Pane!! I die cut the Ruffled Ribbon Die from the center of the Panel!! I wanted to create an Eclipse Design!! If you've never tried the eclipse technique before you've got to give it a try!! 

I die cut 5 more Ruffled Ribbons from some of the same White Cardstock then adhered all 5 of the die cuts together using some Ultra Bond Adhesive!! I added the Embossed Ruffled Ribbon die cut from the card panel to the top of the Stacked Ribbons and adhered them altogether to POP the ruffled ribbon up from the center of the card panel!! By using the some cardstock it really makes the ribbon POP off of the card panel!! 

Here's the finished card I made using the Royal Blue Colors for those Battling Colon Cancer!! I truly understand the IMPORTANCE of receiving these Encouragement Cards!!
I hope I've INSPIRED you today and that I've reminded you to get those Screenings Scheduled!!

Happy Birthday

Hi All, it's Vicki here today from All I Do Is Stamp.

For today's card, I used a lot of CAS-ual Fridays products to make this rather CAS card.

I started by WOW embossing [Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter] the Full on Floral image onto a panel of white card stock.  Using [most] of the Catherine Pooler Carnival Inks, I sponged on color.  Once that was done, I used a couple of the dies from the Pinked Slimline Dies set, to cut out the pinked circle, and smaller circles.

I stamped and cut the small the dragonfly from Everyday Dragonflies stamps [with matching dies], and just colored the heart body with red ink.  [I think the black and white pops against the colorful background, so I left that alone.]  For the last step, I cut 2 white, and 1 mint layer of the Happy Birthday Die, glued the layers together, and adhered it to the card base. Once completed, I felt the top looked too empty, so I used some twine for the added bow.  End result, a fun, colorful birthday card for my stash.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today.  Remember, if you use my code [below], you can save 15% off your CAS-ual Fridays purchase.

Full On Floral With An Alcohol Lift

Welcome back!  I'm playing with some Alcohol Ink and Alcohol-Lift Ink!

I started with some EVO paper and splattered on Ranger Alcohol Inks in Raspberry, Eggplant and Aqua and then some Blending Solution.  I moved the inks around using the Hand Blower and added a little ink here and a little blender there until I was happy with the look.  I let it dry while cutting the other elements such as the heart window panel and flowers from the Four Petals dies.

When the panel was dry, I placed it in the Misti and used a freshly inked Alcohol Lift-Ink pad to link it up and stamp the Full On Floral stamp onto it.  I did leave the image down on the inked panel for about half a minute.  I inked the stamp up again and restamped one more time before I was finished.

When you first lift up the stamp you can very lightly see the image on the panel.  I took a paper towel and buffed the image lightly.

As you buff and the ink is moved away, the image starts to appear leaving a ghost of your image in the ink.

I cut the panel down to fit in the heart window I had cut previously.  The heart was adhered to the base so that it would fit in the window and the window panel was popped up over it.  The Breathe word die from the Just Breathe Dies was cut three times... once from some of the leftover inked panel and two more from some purple cardstock... and then stacked together.  It was adhered to the edge of the heart window.

I added the flowers made by layering the two sizes of Four Petals die cuts and added a gem to the center.  Finally I stamped a little "hang in there" sentiment from Somebunny onto the bottom corner (should have done that while it was flat, but it was a last minute decision to stamp it directly onto the panel and using the Misti it was easy peasy!

And that's me for today!  I hadn't played with the Alcohol Lift in a while, but this month I'm using lots of alcohol inks in my projects and thought it was time to pull it out.

Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon for more CAS-ual Fridays Stamps inspiration!

I've used the Tutu Stamp Set and the coordinating Dies!! These are just STUNNING Images AMAZING for so many occasions!! 

I Started by creating the Gift Bag!! I Die Cut it from two pieces of Woodgrain Patterned Paper and I Stamped and Embossed the Full on Floral Stamp to Stamp onto the Gift Bag with some Versa Mark Ink and then Embossed it with some WoW Bright White Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the way it looks on the Woodgrain Patterned Paper!! I then adhered the Gift Bag together and then I Die Cut the Tag Buddies Fri-Dies from some White Cardstock!!

I Die Cut the Tutu Image out using the coordinating Ballerina Fri-Dies and then Inked the Tag Buddies Die Cut with some Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Ink using an Ink Dauber!! I ran a Static Bag over the bottom of the Tag and then Stamped and Embossed the "just dance" sentiment onto the bottom of the Tag using some Versa Fine Ink and Embossed with some WoW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder!!

I then added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen to the Wings to make them Sparkle and covered them with some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for some Shine and Dimension!! I added some Pearl Nuvo Drops to the center of ALL of the Flowers and I LOVE the way it looks!! Gold Metallic Gel Pen was added to the Halo for added Shine too and some White Gel Pen highlights finish off the Image!! 

I LOVE these finishing touches as I feel like the really help make the Image come to life!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment "With Brave Wings She Flies" onto and strip of Cardstock and then added it to the Card Panel using Foam Tape!!
