Tis the Season Holiday Greeting

11/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Snowflakes are one of the most magical elements of the holiday season. I have decided to use all the snowflake dies that I own to make a greeting card for this holiday. It sure is fun to make snowflake cards.
Picture
First, using speckled egg distress oxide color to blend out evenly on Neenah solarwhite cardstock and die cut into a large snowflake. Second, I use snowflake stencil and pearlescent embossing paste to create a background. Then, splash some ink on the background using speckled egg distress oxide ink.
I have decided to add dimension on the snowflake by adding one more layer of snowflake die-cut using white cardstock. I brushed on the Wink of Stella for more bling. And then adding two layers of foam adhesive to the center piece of the snowflake to add even higher dimension.
After adding foam adhesive, place the piece at the center of the snowflake. Finally, die-cut sentiment "Tis the season" twice and glue them together to add more depth and finish off with light blue jewel on both the snowflake and the background.

Let it snow ATC

這次ATC的題材是white on white相當特別的題目,一直以來都非常喜歡white on white, tone on tone的卡片。一看到題目馬上想到雪花,曾經有一次去玩雪,結果遇上了大風暴,整片山都是白茫茫的一片,很懷念那時暴風雪吹襲之後,陽光照射在雪地上的美景,用雪花片做white on white ATC應該很棒,但又怕做不完考慮很久還是不想錯過這個機會。就 craft away 吧!
這次的準備功夫不少,為了要展現一層一層雪花的立體感,裁切了不少大大小小的雪花片,雪花片除了使用白色卡紙還使用的銀色卡紙丶亮片卡紙丶描圖紙以及雲紋水晶紙。多出來的還可以留著做聖誕卡片。
將大大小小的雪花疊在一起,大概疊個四層或五層,儘量每一層使用不同的材質,而且每一片雪花的形狀都不太一樣,決定好之後就可以上膠了。
雪花片準備好之後,再來是準備背景的襯紙。這是使用了型版以及珠光浮雕膏。沒想到買了三年多的浮雕膏還是相當不錯,一點乾掉的跡象都沒有,不過用完之後一定要把蓋子蓋好才能保存久一點。
這次用了四種型版,也順便多做幾張大張的,方便日後使用,畢竟開蓋子的次數會增加浮雕膏變乾的機會
再來就是在背後註記這次的ATC,找到了數字和字母的章,剛好編排第29次ATC的題目,加上找到一個小的雪花章完成了這次ATC的註記。最後就是組合啦!
這些是部分的大合照!

Dual Hexagon card #3

11/12/2020

0 Comments

 
This is another set of cards using Pinkfresh Studio Simply Hexagons die. This time I have used both the hexagon stamp and die set. These will be for charity as well.
Picture
I used distress oxide ink to blend the hexagon pieces. On the pictures, I typed the color of the ink pad that I used. After blending, I heat embossed the flower and sentiment, which spelled out sending hugs. After that, I put foam adhesive on the back of each hexagon and assembled them on a white cardstock using the cutout of the hexagon die frame as a guide. Then remove the frame once all the hexagon pieces have been glued on.

Hexagon Sending Hugs card #2

11/9/2020

I did something very different for this card. All the hexagon pieces are from the advertisement that I collected over the year. Some of the hexagons were pieces that I stamped imperfectly and was going to go to the trash bin. But since it is small enough, I was able to repurpose it. I am glad it turned out to be great.
Picture
These are the papers that are ready for upcycle.
After cutting them out, I put all the pieces in place one layer at a time. Sandwich between the acrylic block. The benefit of doing a sandwich is that you're able to reduce the chance of pieces moving around. Moving one layer without moving everything else all together will be easier if you make a sandwich. Once I decided on the look, I started to adhesive from the bottom layer and stuck it on white cardstock. After that, move on to the middle layer, then upper layer with foam tape and heat embossed sentiment. In the last minute, I decided to add velum paper leaves to add more depth. Then the card is complete.

Dual Hexagon Thank You Card

11/6/2020

This is a pair of thank you cards that I made for charity. With so much going on in the world, we have so much to thank for. 
Picture
I always wanted to make cards using either hexagon stamp or die. Finally I got a stamp and die set from Pinkfresh Studio. For these two cards, I used just the hexagon die and saved the stamp set for some other time.  For the preparation, I have made some background choices using embossing folder and sentiment  stripe for the card. In addition, I have die-cut some flowers that I plan to use on the card. I have not decided to use which one yet. 
Picture
Once I have everything ready, all I need is to die cut the floral cardstock with hexagon die and start the assembly.  Here are the final look for the cards.

Merry and Bright Holiday card

11/3/2020

Snowflake is magical. It is always a joy to use snowflake dies on Christmas card.
Picture
This is quite a straight forward card making process. First choose a snowflake scene cardstock and blend the edges with blending tool using vintage photo, and walnut stain distress oxide ink. Then die cut the large snowflake with silver cardstock, and smaller snowflakes with silver glitter, white and velum paper. After that, die cut the word Merry with red cardstock. Last but not least, assemble all the elements then splash some acrylic white paint to complete the look.
