Simon says: Vacation

-

Hello,

So I was contemplating what to create for the new Simon Says Stamp IG challenge - June's theme is summer. And then the SSS Monday challenge asked for vacation and the first thing that came to mind was: Santa. If anyone needs a break, it's him. Right?!




First I cut the second largest My Favorite Things linked chain circle die 4 times. On the inside main circle I used Simon Says Stamp Waves and hills stencil, and also clouds for days stencil as well as the MFT radiating rays stencil along with Distress inks Antigue linen, Tumbled glass and Squeezed lemonade. For shading and detail I added dots with Copic markers.
I stamped 3 palm trees from the MFT jungle vibes and one of the cute santas from Clearly Besotted Santa baby and colored them with my Copics. I cut the images and popped them up in the little scene. while putting this card togther I managed to turn the stenciled piece, shifting my scene. But it still looked OK so I kept it as is. 

I placed it all on patterned paper cut with the largest MFT stitched mod rectangle. 
The sentiment consists of a piece of a stamp in the Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud Christmas stamped in Versafine Onyx black and the MFT sunshine dienamics cut 4 times.




The chained circle and the sunshine cuts are embossed with WOW! embossing HO HO HO glitter. I swear I didn't have glitter in mind for this card, but when I went to find a powder that fit the scene this one just screamed "USE ME"! I wasn't even sure of the color because I hadn't swatched it yet . I just knew it was right!

Copics used:
Sand: E37, E35, E31
Palm trees: E29, E27, E25, E23, G17, G05, YG06
Hat: Y38, Y17, Y08, Y06
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
Beard: W3, W1, W0
Glasses: B00
Bathing shorts: RV29, RV25, RV23, C7, C5, C3

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black

Pop-up how-to

  Hi friends, here's a how-to on my pop-up cards. Last summer I decided on finding a card design that was sort of interactive, yet not too dimensional, to make for the Danish Operation write home.  For those who don't know, the Operation write home delivers cards for military personnel to send home to their loved ones while deployed.  ~ My favorite things Mermazing, Elegant rectangle stax, Neat & Tangled Mermazing, Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil The pop-up card design is not my original idea. It's been around for years, and I recall making one a looong time ago, but it was tedious and I didn't like the working process. But I recently saw Jennifer Mcquire make it this way, and I knew I had to give it a try. And once I'd made one they just flowed on out of my crafty quarters. They are really easy to make and add quite the dimension to the card. AND - they fold flat, which is absolutely perfect. ~ Whimsy stamps Whale of a time, Sunny Studios stamps Sea
