InkyStamper: Fall Thank You Wreath Card

Hello Paper Crafters and Happy (early) Thanksgiving! I am sharing a fun interactive card today featuring a combination of stamp sets:  the Owl Stamp and Die Set, Market Tote Stamp and Die Set, and Cow Stamp and Die Set from Inky Stamper!AND it's an interactive card with the Like to Move It Dies and Clear Move Its Set. :) 

**I receive products from InkyStamper and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Creating the Card Front Layers

Cut three square card panels: brown patterned paper to 5.50-inches and plaid patterned paper to 5-inches, and cardstock to 4.75-inches.

Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. on all four sides of the 4.75-inches cardstock square. Remove top liner. Place a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil in Silver Holographic (color side UP) and rub gently with fingertips to transfer the color and peel off. If you miss a spot, reapply with foil. Set aside the layers to work on the wreath.

Wreath Making

To make a base, die-cut two circles nested together with cardstock to create a thin ring. Place on a piece of wax paper. With a sheet of Creative Photo Corners in Silver, cut them into strips by cutting the black inner liner.

Apply one on top of the ring with the point of a second photo corner tucked into the first. Repeat this until you go around to the other end, following the ring.

Take the same two circle dies, nest them together, and die-cut with a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet. Place the ring shape on top of the photo corner wreath.

Remove the top liner and place a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil in Silver Holographic on top (color side UP). Rub gently with fingertips to transfer the color and peel off. If you miss a spot, reapply with foil.

Remove the embellished wreath from the wax paper and center it on a 4.5-inch brown patterned paper panel. Then adhere to the foil edge cardstock panel.

Die-cut the round shape from the Like to Move It Dies in the center of the wreath panel.

Adhere the brown and plaid patterned panels together with the E-Z Runner Ultra Strong.

Add Crafty Foam Tape to lift the wreath panel and then snap in a Clear Move It in the opening before adhering to the layered panels. Set aside to stamp, die-cut, or color images.

Stamping Elements

Stamp the leaf from the Owl Stamp and Die Set in black ink on different fall color cardstock. Then die-cut its coordinating die.

Stamp the bouquet from the Market Tote Stamp and Die Set in black ink on white cardstock. Then fussy cut the shape and watercolor the flowers. Set aside to dry.

Stamp the sentiment from the Cow Stamp and Die Set in black in on white vellum. Cut into a strip with a ribbon tail on the right end.

Embellishing the Card Front

Using Adhesive Dots Medium, place the leaves on the wreath.

For the sentiment strip, I adhered with E-Z Runner Permanent Fine (vellum adhesive).

Secure the flowers in the center where the Clear Move It is with an Adhesive Dot Medium. Add the card panel to a white 5.5-inch square card base to finish!

Take a look at this short video to see it twirl!

InkyStamper: Had Me at Hot Chocolate Card

Hello Paper Crafters! I am sharing a unique interactive card today featuring the NEW Snowman Stamp and Die Set from Inky Stamper!

**I receive products from InkyStamper and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Making the Card Base

To make a pocket card, I will use a piece of 12 x 5.5-inch light green cardstock. On the long side (12-inch), scored at 4-inch and 8-inch. This will give you three panels to work with. Fold the scored lines and cut the last panel in a diagonal as shown in the picture below.

Apply E-Z Runner Micro to the right edge and bottom edge of the diagonal panel. Then fold over to the second panel and burnish the adhesive area with a bone folder to secure. Set aside to work on the card panels.

Creating the Card Front

Cut two card panels: red patterned paper to 3.5 x 5-inches and green patterned paper to 3.75 x 5.25-inches. Adhere the green patterned paper to the card base.

Next, stamp four snowflakes and mugs from the Snowman Stamp and Die Set. Die-cut the snowflakes with its matching die and fussy cut the mugs.

Stamp the sentiment with black ink on white cardstock and cut a strip with a fishtail end. Using the strip as a guide, cut a slightly larger strip with the same green patterned paper as the panel. Adhere together.

Using the stamped images and layered sentiment strip as guides, determine placement on the red card panel. Behind the stamped images, die-cut circles using the circle dies from the Like to Move It Die Set.

Snap the Clear Move-Its in all the circles. Then in between the gaps, add in two layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black. You don't have to use as much as I did but I wanted mine solid. LOL!

I LOVE the Clear Move-Its! They coordinate with the Like to Move It Die Set to move in place to sliding back 'n forth, depending on how your die-cut the track.

To finish off, center the card panel on top of the card base. Adhere the stamped images on top of the Clear Move-Its with Adhesive Dots Small and add a clear rhinestone in the middle. Then pop up the mug next to the sentiment.

For the inside, I covered with patterned paper on the pocket, foiled a 3D Foam Snowflake and added a snowflake stamped image with a clear rhinestone.

On the other side, I add a matted message area accented with four Creative Photo Corners in Silver and stamped a sentiment from the Snowman Stamp and Die Set.

Would love it if you follow me on the blog or my ILscraps Instagram!

Celebrate Scrapbook Page Step Outs

I cut a combination of patterned papers, origami papers, and a piece of white cardstock that I wrapped the washi tape around to create another patterned layer. To embellish the page, I grabbed a couple of ephemera pieces and a bonus overlay frame.

Adhere all the layers with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser onto the page.

Then on the overlay frame, I applied the E-Z Runner Micro - it's perfect for narrow areas. Lightly place on top of the layered mat as a picture will be tucked behind it.

Next die-cut an intricate doily shape in white cardstock twice. Cut one in half and leave the other whole.

Run the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Dots behind each. When I forget to use the Adhesive Sheet, I apply the permanent dot adhesive as it will hit only the die cut shape so it's easy to adhere.

Tuck the whole shape behind the layered mat on the upper right corner. Place the half shape on the lower-left corner to layer the ephemera with.

Stamp Celebrate from the clear stamp set in the kit on a scrap piece of Time to Celebrate 05 paper. Cut into a banner strip with a ribbon tail on it. Adhere it below the layered mat and by the half doily shape.

Now for the details. After adhere the rose bouquet ephemera, lift and adhere the camera ephemera with scraps of 3D Foam Circles (no waste! lol!). I added some twine behind it before adhering.

I randomly added sequins around the page with Adhesive Dots Small.

Like the sequins, I place 3D Foam Stars and foiled them. This is so easy to do! Just take off the top liner, place the foil color side up over the exposed adhesive and rub. Peel it off to get these wonderful foiled stars.

Lastly, I randomly added a combination of light purple, light green, and clear sparkly bubbles.

I hope you enjoyed this project. If you haven't already, please follow me on the blog or my ILscraps Instagram.

Fairfield: No-Sew Puffy Owl Banner in Celebration of 80 Years!

Fairfield is celebrating its 80th year in 2020. To commemorate, they are hosting 80 Days of Poly-Fil Projects! So cool! They've invited me and fellow designers/bloggers/DIYers to create projects featuring their popular Poly-Fil® products.

**I receive products from Fairfield Processing Corp., Spellbinders® Paper Arts, and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Although I do not sew, I can whip up a mean project with Poly-Fil®! LOL! Combining my paper crafting passion, I accepted the challenge and came up with a No-Sew Puffy Owl Banner. I love how it turned out - don't you? Let me show you how to create one.

Puffy Owl Step Outs

For the owl base, die-cut four owl shapes from cardstock and felt with the Who's There Steel Rule Die.

Designer Tip: When die-cutting soft felt, I cut with a sheet of printer paper. By doing this, I find I get a cleaner cut. I did this the first time and then switched to black cardstock which I used for the back of my banner. Kills two birds (no pun intended - lol!) with one stone! :)

Apply on the back of the black cardstock owl shape with Adhesive Sheet. Make sure to burnish well with the round end of a bone folder to transfer the adhesive to the cardstock. Peel back the liner and take out the owl shape for the next step.

Next, apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8" to the edge of the owl die cut over the adhesive sheet area.

Next, add a thin layer of Poly-Fil® on top of the adhesive sheet area. Then remove the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8".

Take the felt owl shape and stretch the material a little before placing it on the top of the owl cardstock. Press the edges together to create one shape. Trim any excess adhesive or filler. Repeat three more times to make your banner.

Banner Details

With the 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small in Black, die-cut letters (Gwen) from the Type-Oh Steel Rule Die.

Use the letter die cuts as a guide to determine placement and adhere the wings and feet pieces with Adhesive Lines (the wings) and Adhesive Dots Small (the feet). 

Designer Tip: carefully heat up the adhesives to secure to felt (think glue gun). If aimed too long, the felt will shrink or deform (don't ask - lol!).

Then place the letter in the center of each owl shape. Remove the top liner and place a piece of foil on top with COLOR SIDE UP. Rub the foil with fingertips to transfer the foil. Reapply foil in missed areas.

Let's make the loops in the back to thread the twine through and display the banner. To achieve this, cut four 1.25 x 2-inch rectangles from black cardstock. Simply secure with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

To accent my twine, I had wood slices I wanted to add between each owl. After I placed a small 3D Foam Heart on each slice, on the back, I placed an Adhesive Dot 3D to secure to the twine. Covered it With a felt circle (part of the die set) so it won't scratch the wall.

There you have it! A puffy owl banner to display (in this case) in Gwen's room!
