Bleachy Bones

As promised I present another bleach card.  I saw this stamp set at Michael's and had to have it, of course.  With my 50% off coupon it was only $2.00!  It is made by Recollections and called Haunted.  I tried embossing in white on black cardstock, but it looked globby.  Then I embossed it black on black cardstock, but when I painted with bleach it didn't turn the paper white.  I am sure it was the paper.  I decided to try stamping and embossing in black on Rich Razzleberry.  Oh yes, that worked nicely!

Any little bleach overspills were nicely cleaned up with a Rich Razzleberry marker.  You can't even tell where I "cleaned up" my lines - promise.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I don't think it turned out too bad.  Of course it is much better IRL. - Heidi

Swing cards, baby!

Don't get me wrong, I love Stampin' Up.  I was about to buy the new Circle Card Thinlits Die when I discovered that I could make a swing card on my Silhouette Cameo.  Instead of spending 30 some dollars I simply spent 99 cents! YIPEE!  Check out what I made.

I used the retired Sail Away stamp on the outside and the sentiment "go confidently in the direction of your dreams" stamp on the inside.  This would make a nifty guy graduation card.

For this card I used the Giant Pumpkin stamp by Hero Arts that I picked up at Goodwill.  I stamped the pumpkin in Versamark on Only Orange cardstock.  Then I heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  Now here's the cool part - I painted with bleach and water to make the yellow parts of the pumpkin.  It looks awesome and really pops.  I have been using a lot of bleach lately as you'll see in my next post.  For the inside I bought a scallop circle for the Cameo and cut it out and glued it in.  I LOVE how easy and quick and CHEAP it is to get designs for the Cameo.  No cartridges to buy!  Have an awesome night  - Heidi

Goodwill madness!

I started a new job and am I worn out!  I don't get downstairs to make cards as much as I'd like to.  Here are a few things that I have created.  It would appear that I have a new addiction - washi tape!

I scored these airplane stamps while at Goodwill.  The airplane on the right is a single stamp and the three on the left are a stamp.  I thought they were interesting.  I have other ideas for these stamps so stay tuned!  I used Scotch Expressions tape - love it!

I found this buffalo stamp at Goodwill and made my father a birthday card.  He was out East for his birthday so it didn't seem right to give it to him late.  I'll hold onto it for next year.

My husband spotted this PSX cat stamp when we were at Goodwill.  It is an awesome graphic and I decided to make simple cards with it.  What do you think?

 

While at Goodwill I came across these Endangered species stamps.  I have no idea who makes them, but at 49 cents how could I resist!

This screaming lady stamp is another Goodwill find. Again I have no clue who made her, but I love her expression.  I printed the sentiment and die cut it for the card.  I think it works out great!

Nothing here from Goodwill.  Loving the Scotch Expressions tape.

I bought this button at Goodwill.  Thought it was cute and that I'd make a simple card.  Not my favorite, but it'll do.  Have a great day - Heidi

Playing Catch-up

I have graduated, had my annual rummage sale and I start my new job tomorrow.  I have been creating - just not sharing.

The above card uses Wetlands stamp set.  I think this may be my favorite set right now.  I found this Aqua Mist DSP from Papertrey that matches Coastal Cabana perfectly.  I love it when that happens!

Went to Archiver's and they were having a sale on Washi tapes.  They were also clearing out this stamp.  Love them together!

These two cards use a Hero Arts stamp I picked up at Archiver's also.  Wingo Zingo with some washi tape, a button and some found ribbon that matches Certainly Celery.  The words are Sweet Essentials.

I scored the Wolf set from shopgoodwill.com.  I got a bunch of alphabets and numbers I didn't want, but hey it was under $30.00!  Love this stamp and I am going to add it to my permanent collection.

Hope you enjoyed!  Keep stamping and creating - Heidi.

Monsters U and Juicy Juice

Good morning!  I have been working on these cards for a while now.  I wanted to finish the entire set before I posted them.  When I saw the Juicy Juice boxes I knew I had to make a set of cards just like I did when they had Disney Cars on the boxes.

See the Disney Cars cards here.

I apologize for the fuzzy pictures, but you get the idea.

Papertrey Fun!

I am in love with Papertrey Ink's chevron cover plate die.  I made some rainbow cards, that I have yet to post, and had leftover backgrounds.  They were lying on my work table when I got the idea to layer the backgrounds.  I think it looks way cool to layer the negative chevron pieces.

The stamps are from Bountiful Banners and Blooming Button Bits both from Papertrey Ink.  The cardstock I used was YoYo Yellow and Only Orange.  It is busy, but the background is stunning to behold.  Just a little tucking and gluing to make this card.  Have a Happy 4th. - Heidi

By the Seashore

This is a semi-CASE of a card I saw on Pintrest.  Have I mentioned that I am addicted to Pintrest?!  It uses Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar plus By the Seashore and Wetlands from Stampin' Up.  I also used some clay similar to that of Stampin" Up and Martha Stewart and a Mod Melt mold to make the nest with eggs.  I then "painted" the nest and eggs with water and re-inkers so it would match perfectly.  Thanks for looking - Heidi.
