Thankful Card with Foil Leaves

 Hello everyone! I'm back with another Scrapbook Adhesives project.  It's hard to believe that it's the end of August!  It will soon be fall with all it's glorious colors!  That's my inspiration for this card.


 You can find all the step out photos and directions on Scrapbook Adhesives blog - HERE.



Here's a peek of how I used foil for the letter squares which are Thin 3D Foam Squares with die cut letters on them 


and foil on 3D Foam Leaves. 

I like to use a heat gun to heat the leaves after applying the foil.  It adds a slight texture and mellows the color a tiny bit.

Thanks for stopping!
Happy Creating!

Supplies:


Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix



Cardstock (Black, Tan); Button; Twine

Mixed Media Background Card

Hello everyone! 




Here is a mixed media background card that can easily be used for many occasions.  Simply keep some greetings on hand to add as needed.  



The background is fun to make with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser and Distress Oxide sprays and Distress ink.  Once the paper is dry, simply rub off the repositionable adhesive.  Add more color as desired.

In the photo the adhesive has been removed and reveals the paper color underneath.  I added Uncharted Mariner ink over and misted with water for the final background.

Bright Flowers Birthday Card

Thinking bright, sunny and warm today with this Bright Flowers Birthday Card to beat the winter dreariness!  



 I made this card for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and you can find it on their blog.  Lots more details posted there.

I made all the flowers with watercolors.  Once they were dry, I added black outlines with Uni-Ball Stabilo 207 pen and used it and a white pen for the dots in center of flowers.  Leaves were also painted with watercolors and outlined.  Then I fussy cut them out.  I've come to enjoy the process of painting them and "doodling" the outlines, centers and more.  Even the fussy cutting is relaxing!  I usually do all the steps over a few days....no rush. I generally take time to go to my craft room every night before bed.  I usually don't start any projects then but I doodle around flowers or cut them out.  It's mindless and enjoyable.  

These particular flowers I painted one afternoon while showing my sister how to make them. The flowers really come to life with the outlines and added dots and lines.  


Here's some of the flowers in my fodder keeper.  I learned the basics for making these flowers and the fodder keeper in Fodder School which is a yearlong class with different instructors each month.  The instructor for this class was Tiffany Sharpe.  You can find her on Instagram as TiffanySimplySharpe. Fodder School was created by Tiffany and Wendy Solganik.  Wendy is on IG as Willa.Wanders.  Fodder School has been great so far!  I'm a bit behind but it's always there for me to do when I have time.

You can find me on Instagram as judesigns7  I have photos posted there of my fodder keeper and more flowers.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy Crafting!

Foiled Winter Joy Card


Well, winter is here with the cold days of January and that usually brings snow.  In keeping with season, I put together this foiled snowflake card.
