MFT Superstar Clean and Simple Genius

-
Hello everyone!
Anyone who knows me know I don't often make cas cards. And I didn't completely stick to the definition #sorrynotsorry But this is my entry to the My favorite things Superstar Clean and Simple Genius contest.
I recently re-viewed a Jennifer McGuire video with this partially cut card front. So I stamped a My favorite things Space explorer astronaut in the lower right corner and colored it with Copics. I then used a medium sized plate to line out the moon, cut along the line and around the lower part of the astronaut with my scissors. And although it means the white isn't completely white, I decided to add a couple of moon craters, also colored with Copics. Face and stars I gave a coat of glossy accents.

Copics used:
B97, B95, B91
R39, R29, R35
Y17, Y08, Y02
C3, C1, C00
E04, E11, E00, E000
E31, E35, E37
G05, YG06, YG03
On the inside of the card I masked off where the moon would be and the ink blended a galaxy using Abandoned coral, Mustard seed, Mowed lawn, Marmaid lagoon, Chipped sapphire and Black soot Distress inks. I diluted a drop of white acrylic paint and splattered it on. After it dried I spritzed it with Sheer Shimmer spritz. You gotta have sparkle!
I haet embossed a sentiment from the same set with WOW! opaque white embossing powder. It's really hard to photograph the partially front, but I think it shows a bit here.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

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
