Featured Product Post and a Giveaway!!!

Hi all, well it's time for another giveaway on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog..... scroll down to the end of my post for the deets............So the featured product is...................Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists!!! So here's what I did........and don't forget to check out what Sara did with the Glimmer Mist, check it out on her blog here.

Products Used:

Cardstock: White & Black

Ink: Versamark and Ranger Black Archival Ink

Stamp: Kaiser Craft- Life

Dies: Spellbinders Fancy Tags 3

Misc.: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists- Cadillac Pink, Dragonfly, Hula Hoop & Blackberry Cordial, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist- "Mauve"lous, Ranger Acrylic Paint Dabbers- Pitch Black, Pearl and Gold, Tsukineko Clear Embossing Powder, Crafter's Workshop 6"x6"Template-Mini Butterflies and Misc. Pearls

So I used the butterfly template and the acrylic dabbers on the white cardstock, then sprayed the glimmer mists over top. The acrylic paints actually resist the glimmer mists, so you can create some really awesome backgounds with them! Then I cut the tag out of the black cardstock with the Spellbinders die and used my versamark and clear embossing powder over top. I sprayed the glimmer mists onto the white cardstock and stamped my sentiment with the archival ink. Then I added some pearls to the flowers. That's it for this card......I hope you all get out your glimmer mists and play, it's so much fun!!!

So who would like to win one of the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists??? All you have to do is leave a comment on the Featured Product post on the the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog.

Cards Stamped with Acrylic Paint!!!

Hi all, well it's time for another tutorial on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog........and this time we are playing with Acrylic Paints, I used the Ranger Acrylic Dabbers, this is such a fun way to expand your stamping! So check out this post for my tutorial!!! This is the card that I did..............

Products Used:

Misc.: Ranger Acrylic Dabbers- Pearl and Gold, Ranger Ink Blending Tool and Pink Paislee Daily Junque Twine

For the deets on how I did the stamping with the acrylic dabbers....click here. So all I did to finish this card is I used the Coredinations Shabby Shutters CST for the card and layered the Tumbled Glass CST over it. Then I used the Scallop corner punch on only 2 of the corners of the stamped piece. I added the twine and adhered it to the card. Now I die cut the banner and stamped the sentiment with the black archival ink and used the blending tool to apply the distress inks, this was pop dotted up in the center. That's all for this card! I hope you all have some fun playing with the acrylic paint dabbers!!!

Here's another card I did:

I stamped the banner stamp on my white cst with the black ink, leaving about a half an inch between each banner. Then I used my glimmer mists over top and I love how the colours mixed together and match the colours in the Chapter One line. Then I cut it apart and adhered the strips onto the black cst. Then I added the swirls and die cut the flowers from the Kaiser Craft Chapter One patterned papers. I shaped the petals on the flowers and added brads. Then I adhered them to the card. You really have to check out the bling and the Chapter One line from Kaiser Craft......they're amazing!!!

Featured Product Post Starring........Cupcakes Galore!!! and a Chance to Win the Featured Product!!!

Hi all.............well it's that time again for the Featured Product Post....and a chance to win a set of clear Inkadinkado stamps, scroll down to the bottom of my post for all the deets..........So, I did something totally different for me and I didn't use any Tim Holtz products...........are you surprised??? Well, I hope you all enjoy my card and don't forget that Sara is also doing her post on the Featured Product as well.........this should be interesting, since we both picked the same stamp set :)........so here's the set...............

and here's what I came up with.........................

Products Used

Cardstock: Pink, Green, X-Press It Blending Cardstock & Jillibean Soup 6"x6" Pad- Blossom Soup

Stamps: Inkadinkado- Birthday Cupcakes & Hero Arts (Basic Grey)- Life of the Party Words

Inks: Momento- Tuxedo Black, Bamboo Leaves, Angel Pink & New Sprout

Copic Products: E44, E47, E49, R81, R83, R85 & R89 and Black Multiliner 0.7

Misc.: Tattered Angels Glam- Lipstick Pink, Ranger Stickles- Thistle, Ranger Glossy Accents, Sakura Gelly Roll Pen- Stardust & American Crafts Ribbon- Spinach Gingham

So a little bit on how I made this card, I stamped all the cupcakes from the Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcake set with my Tuxedo Black and coloured them in with my copics, then I fussy cut them out. I also hand drew 3 cherries with my black multiliner and then coloured them in with my copics and fussy cut them out and added them to the 3 large cupcakes. I stamped the Life of the Party stamp in Momento Bamboo Leaves ink and adhered it to the top of the green cst and the blossom soup patterned paper to the bottom. Then I added the ribbbon and a bow.

For the cupcakes.....2 of the larger ones I used the Tattered Angels Glam and for the other one I used the stickles. Then for the 3 smaller ones I used my Stardust pen, I added the Glossy Accents to all of the cherries. For the sentiment I used Momento Tuxedo Black. The Momento Angel Pink and New Sprout I used with one of little stamps from the Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcakes set to create a subtle background for the sentiment. That's pretty much it, other than putting it together.

Toonie Thursday January 13th At Scrapbooker's Paradise Red Deer

Just a quick post.........I actually forgot to post this earlier....so I thought I would share it now......here's what we did for the Toonie Thursday at the Red Deer Store on Thursday!!!! I think I'm addicted to the sticky backed canvas, it's just so much fun to work with and there's so much you can do with it!!!! Okay......enough talking, onto the card I did............

So the flourish is from Hero Arts and is stamped onto the canvas with Versamark ink and then embossed with clear EP, then I sprayed it with some Tattered Angels glimmer mists, English Ivy and Sugar Plum Fairy. I was amazed that the EP didn't melt into the canvas, but it created this amazing look.......the card itself was cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Squares, I added a little bit of ribbon then a sentiment from C.C. Designs-Sassy Sentiments Set..........gotta love those sentiments!!! Well that's it for this time.............till next time, have a great weekend!!!
