Mermaid Wishes And Star Fish Kisses

Good Morning!
Back again on the Dies R Us Blog.

Check out my latest Shaker card!

I found this wonderful  Cheapo Dies Mermaid die in the Dies R Us Store.

She is magical AND affordable!

Cheapo Dies Mermaid

And she complimented these Frantic Stamper Beach Comber shell dies beautifully.

Frantic Stamper Beach Comber

Here's how I created her:  

I cut all the dies from White card stock.

All cuts were colored with Copic Markers.

Adding Stickles for lots of sparkle and shine, which can be found in the Dies R Us Store.

Using Spellbinders dies in Standard and Lacy Circles I cut my layers to create the Shaker portion of my card.  Teal Backdrop, White Insert, Fun Foam Frame, Acetate, Teal Frame.

My ocean background was created by sponging Oxide Inks on to White card stock.

I also added water drops to lift some of the ink and then splattered White Craft Paint using and old toothbrush.  I assembled my Shaker part and added glitter and sequins in all shades of Blues and Greens.  Adding my shells as a border below my Shaker. 

Using the Best Glue Ever I placed my beautiful Mermaid on the Acetate.  Adding Adhesive Pearls to my Mermaid, creating a necklace and waistline and a few on the card base and shell border.

Inside Shell Border stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

Gifts From The Sea by Gina K Designs.

Lots of dimension!

She is magical!

You know what they say, Coffee And Friends, The Perfect Blend!

Double D, Nautical

Happy 4th Of July....WOW!

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile for this Challenge:

I adore this tile!

Here's what I came up with, drawing inspiration from that tile and from my surroundings.  

Lucky enough to live at the beach!

I started by creating my wood grained background, only this time I scored it horizontally!  Backed it with Fun Foam, adding dimension and a nice sturdy place to add the rest of my Nautical card details. 4 metal corner brads.

Using Spellbinders Standard Circles, I layered 2 to create my porthole, I then added some Copper brads for accents, this also was backed with Fun Foam to add even more dimension!

I cut a white piece of card stock using the circle die and masked off sea and sky.  Sponged on Oxide inks and then flicked water all over it.  Gulls stamped in Raven Black ink, from Gina K Designs, By The Sea 2.  Sailboat and starfish stamped in Raven Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  They are by Simon Says, Sail Away, stamp and die sets.

Sakura Glaze Pen on Starfish.

Inside, Copic Marker colored Sand Dollar die cut and sentiment stamped in Marina Mist ink.

Adhesive Dots

WOS

Stickles

Lots of dimension!

Hello, Beautiful Butterfly

Back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

Today I am sharing an All Occasion card with you all!

I started with these beautiful Papers by Authentique, The Gathering. 

The Dies R Us Store carries so many Paper Pads of beautiful papers.  Using the Circle Link Embossing Folder I added texture to my background.  I die cut 2 of the paper designs using the Tutti Designs Cross Stitch Nesting Rectangles in 2 different sizes. 

Offset and layered these rectangles together and added a Memory Box Orbitz Circle die cut from Teal card stock beneath.   

I die cut my Crafty Ann  Butterfly from Orange card stock.  Cutting the Sue Wilson Rustic Twig Wreath from Teal card stock I then layered that with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die with another pretty paper design.  These die cuts were layered all together and the Butterfly was adhered using a Foam Square for a little dimension.

My sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on to

a Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags die cut.  

Sheer Ribbon, Buttons and Twine accents.

Candy Dots coated with Glossy Accents.  

A few layers and a bit of dimension.

This card will also be entered into the following Challenges:

Crop Stop Party #41

Here's What I Used:
