Project of the week - fun foam stamps

Hi everyone. It's my turn to do a project of the week over at The House That Stamps Built. Today I'm turning a die cut into a stamp using fun foam.

So, I stamped it using white pigment ink and then colored over the top of it with Prismacolor pencils. I heat embossed the sentiment using fine white detail embossing powder. Butterfly is a charm.

This second card, I just stamped it in green pigment ink, added the sentiment and finished it off with self adhesive pearls. I think this sentiment is so apropos right now.

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

I created a stamp using a die from SSS and fun foam. Then used that to stamp in versamark ink and heat emboss in fine white embossing powder. The background is created using Distress oxide inks and a lot of water.

Hello. Playing in the theme challenge today over at The Paper Players. It's called "turn up the heat" and covers heat embossing. Here is what I did with it.

I used the thank you turn-a-bout stamp set from Concord & 9th. Distress oxide ink used to color. White embossing powder is from Ranger. Popped it up on fun foam to give it a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations

Hello. Playing in this weeks CAS(e) this sketch.

I created the stamp using a die from Carta Bella and fun foam. Inked it up with Palette Jardin Moss ink and stamped it once and then did a second generation right next to it.

Added the congratulations sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and a little twine bow. Pierced Dot die is from MFT stamps (it's one of their retired Blueprints dies).   I chose a dark green cardstock for the card base on this.

Thanks for stopping in.

Anything goes - get well

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged with Anything goes.

I used one of the jars and only one of the flowers in the bouquet that is found on plate #9700. I just used a copic friendly black marker directly on the stamp. Long rectangle dies from Spellbinder used to frame it up and I also used the scalloped dies that match the set.  Pink and white polka dot designer paper is from lasting impressions. I cut it to 4 x 5.25 and backed it with some fun foam so that it would add some dimension to the card.  This turned out to be a bit of a girlie get well card, but I love the colors.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Mermaid shaker card

Hi all. Just got my Monthly Hero kit yesterday and this is what came about as I played around with it.

Back ground is done using distress oxide inks. Blended broken china and cracked pistachio then used the stencil included in the kit with some water to get a pretty cool effect.

Tule used instead of acetate on the shaker window.  Glued some starfish onto it for some added color. The mermaid is stamped in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored with Copic's. I added some sparkle to her using a clear glitter spectrum sparkle pen.

The photo is kind of dark, but I also added a spritz or two of sparkle to the overall card using shimmer spritz. Sequins can be found at Katscrappiness - link on side bar. I did not use the ones that came in the kit.

The shaker panel is popped up onto the card base using fun foam. That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
