 I Loved using the  Quick A2 Card Fronts Things with Wings .

In no time I had 4 cards created using the 4 different designs in the 8 Card Fronts.

I am sharing the links to the STAMPlorations products 

I used to embellish the Card Fronts.

******************

Here is description of my 1st Things with Wings A2 Card Front Card.

I used STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge and Scribbly Splattery Grunge stamp sets.

CUTplorations Art Border #1 Die and CUTplorations Thanks Word Die.

Dies in photo!

Die cut the 2 borders with the Art Border #1.  Stamped the images with Archival ink.

Then die cut the Thanks from card front and added 2 more die cut Thanks 

and stacked to add dimension.

  Then inlaid the Thanks and traced with black art pen.  Next  attached card front to SU card base and done!  I loved the mixed media results:-)

Here is my 2nd Things with Wings A2 Card Front Card.

Used CUTplorations Flutter Zen 2 Layering Dies.  There are 2 dies in the set 

shown in photo. 

I die cut a solid background from an acrylic paint background in my stash.

Next die cut the butterfly cover plate layer using 120# paper from a card front scrap and popped up the wings with mini dimensionals.  

Stamped the sentiment from the Co-ordinating Trendy Butterflies 2 stamp set and attached card front to SU Poppy Parade cardstock..a perfect color match:-)

Another Quick and beautiful card design😊

Here is my 3rd Things with Wings A2 Card Front Card.

Die Cut the card front with the middle size CUTplorations Crazy Double Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die.  Stamped the Trendy Butterflies 2 sentiment.  Die Cut the SU Pear Pizazz 

A2 card front with the large A2 size Nesting Die

 and attached to 100# Basic White Card Base.

Popped up main image card front using craft foam and Done!

Loving the Quick Clean and Simple Designs.

Here is my 4th Things with Wings A2 Card Front Card.

Same design as my 3rd card.  Just used a different card front from the Things with Wings set.

Stamped the STAMPlorations Bee's Knees Birds of Paradise sentiment.

I love this sentiment for get well cards:-)

I hope you enjoyed my cards as much as I enjoyed adding my own 

twist to the Gorgeous Card Fronts😀  Love and Hugs..

STAMPlorations Christmas in the Air Kit #1

My third Feature using STAMPlorations Christmas in the Air Kit #1:-)

More details from Shery regarding the New in September Kit #2 and Kit #3!!!

I have enjoyed every minute of creating with the Awesome CITA Kit #1😀

Monika will be back in August for one more CITA Feature using Kit #1. Don't miss it!

Hope you enjoy and are inspired by my 6 cards and 3 tags.  I will list products at the end of my post.

It is time for Christmas in July creating.  Have a safe and creative Summer, my friends.

My 1st card using the fun "Holidays" Stencil from the CITA Kit #1.   

I stenciled the trees first using Distress Oxide Inks and i-Crafter's i-Brushes.

Then stenciled the vintage truck on another piece of SU Basic White 100# cardstock.

Next fussy cut the truck and attached under the trees and added the clear stickers 'Merry Everything'.

As an after thought sponged the sky, grass and road to make the images seem connected!

Then added the cute fussy cut "Ephemera" image for a driver, black stick on brads to wheels and a bit more distressing with ink to the truck.  I Love this very versatile stencil!

****************

My next 5 cards use the awesome "Christmas ATC's".  There are 18 ATC's in the set:-)

Love this cute snowman.  I added more snow splatters with a Posca acrylic white pen.

Used corner rounder to cut the corners.  Thank you STAMPgirl Vicki for the idea.

Added eyelet, ribbon, twine and Clear Stickers "Merry Everything" sentiment and 

popped up with craft foam.  Then attached ATC to 

die cut "Circle All Over Texture Cover Plate" colored cardstock layer, which I attached to 

SU Basic White 100# cardstock and Done.

***************

Next card was the same basic design using another "Christmas ATC"!

I added a stamped tree from STAMPlorations Bee's Knee's "Winter Mug" stamp set and stamped the sentiment from "Coffee for All Seasons" using Archival Jet Black Ink.

Next die cut colored cardstock using CUTplorations "Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate".  Attached to card base.

Popped up ATC with craft foam and attached to cover plate layer  and Done!

******************

Three more "Christmas ATC" cards using a different design. 

Very simple CAS design.  Stamped Bee's Knees "Layered Christmas Lights" using Archival Jet Black ink onto Basic White 100# card base. Attached layered CUTplorations Die Cut "Stitched Tags Nesting Dies".  One tag was using SU Real Red Cardstock and the smaller tag was the "Christmas ATC".

Earlier I added more black splatters to the small tag with Posca Black Acrylic Pen.

Added ribbon and popped up tags with craft foam and Done!

***************

Two more cards using "Christmas ATC's" with similar designs.

 I stamped the card base with images from Bee's Knees "Layered Mistletoe".  Added the popped up with craft foam "Christmas ATC", which I had splattered with Posca White Acrylic pen, cut corners and added eyelit and ribbons and Done!

*******************

Here is my last "Christmas ATC's" card.  There were 18 ATC's in the Kit and I still have 4 left after using a few in all my CITA Kit #1 Features:-)

I stamped Bee's Knees "Layered Poinsettias" stamp set and popped up the "Christmas ATC" using craft foam.  I had cut the corners, added white acrylic splatters, stamped sentiments from the stamp set, added eyelit and ribbon and Done!  I think this is my favorite:-)  But loved them all.

****************

One photo of 3 "Christmas ATC" die cut tags!!!

Three tags filled with Christmas joy and Wink of Stella:-)

Die cut the ATC's with Stitched Tags Nesting Dies, added stamped sentiments from the "Christmas Joy Stamp Set", added Wink of Stella, Ribbons and Done!

Thank you for sticking with my long post.  I have a great start on my Christmas stash and not a single duplicate card or tag from my 3 CITA Kit #1 Features:-)

Happy "Christmas in July", my creative friends.

CAS Mix Up Alcohol Inks on Vellum

clever and creative Coni (Which Craft?).

There are amazing and creative cards posted by our talented Design Team and our 

very talented CAS Guest Designer, Hannelie (desert diva).  Be sure and check them out:-)

Here is my Alcohol Ink Pearls on Vellum cardstock card made for my special friend, 

Daisy's 92nd Birthday.  She loved it...especially all the shine:-)

It was impossible to get a decent photo of the shine from the Ranger Alcohol Pearls Ink 

on SU Vellum cardstock,  but it was truly Stunning:-) 

 I used the salad spinner technique using vellum instead of Yupo paper.  I placed a small piece of SU Vellum Cardstock in the spinner and added drops of Alcohol Ink Pearls ink onto vellum and drops of Blender Solution and then spun the salad spinner.

Here is another one of my posts using the salad spinner with Yupo paper and Alcohol Pearls Ink.  It has a link to our dear friend, Karen (Snippets) photo tutorial.

When happy with the results I removed the background from spinner and used a large acrylic block to weight down the background until it dried.

Next die cut favorite area of background with Memory Box Stitched Circle Die. 

Die cut a piece of SU 100# cardstock and attached to stitched circle with Connect Glue.

Weighted down over night, then attached to White Craft Foam with Connect Glue.

Next die cut Alexandra Renke Die Cut Grasses 3 times and stacked using Connect Glue.  Then...you guessed it... glued grasses to circle and weighted down with block.

Used MISTI to center the SSS Thoughtful Messages and stamped with Archival Jet Black Ink.

Then attached main image to White Craft Foam and then to SU Basic White 100# card base

and Done!  Loved my 1st Alcohol Pearls Ink on Vellum Card:-)

We would love to have you play along in Coni's cool challenge!

Be sure and check out the videos,  which are very helpful or in my case do your own thing:-)

My Day 1 Birthday cards are using the Birthday Bundle #1.

Here is the link to Two more Card samples I created for the Pre-Order Sale on June 6

****************

Birthday Bundle #1

 ARTplorations Design Blox #5 stencil.

STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4

STAMPlorations Radiate Happy

***********

Plus Shaker Blends flat sequins Color Confetti.

 Monika's Rectangle Flexi-Templates

This was the very 1st card I created using the Birthday Bundle #1...I was hooked!!!

I used the Rectangle Flexi-Templates over mixed media paper and secured with 3M masking tape.  That gave me the perfect white border.  Then secured the  ARTplorations Design Blox #5 Stencil using the tape.  Next I used i-Crafters i-Brushes to blend the Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries and Barn Door.  I removed the stencil and template and went..."Wow"!

Placed card front in MISTI and stamped Dee's Blossom Sprays #4 and STAMPlorations Radiate Happy sentiment using Archival Jet Black Ink.  Then removed card front from MISTI. 

Attached Shaker Blends flat sequins Color Confetti using Connect Glue.  Then attached card front to SU Basic White 100# card base and Done!  I LOVED the results.  

************************

My 2nd card for Day 1

Birthday Bundle #1

STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4

CUTplorations Art Border Die #1

***********

Plus Clear Stickers Shine Bright.

I kept my 2nd card more CAS.  I placed the Strathmore mixed media A2 card front in MISTI and stamped the STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4 with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with SU clear embossing powder.  

Removed card front and watercolored with Zigs using wet #4 paint brush to move the ink.  So relaxing and fun.  Such a beautiful bouquet.

Added Posca Acrylic black ink pen splatters and let dry.  Then added the Shine Bright Clear Sticker sentiment to mixed media paper and trimmed and attached to card front.

Next die cut  CUTplorations Art Border Die #1 using mixed media paper.  The die,  cuts beautifully even thru the heavier mixed media paper!  I used my Spellbinders Tool 'n One brush end to remove all the tiny pieces from the die...worked quick and easy!   Then used a toothpick to remove the few leftover pieces.  

 Next cut another piece of MM paper for under the die cut border to pop it up and also cover up the image stems.  I tried it with and without and liked it better without the stems showing.

Attached to SU 100# cardstock base and Done!

This was my 4th card using this Awesome Birthday Bundle #1!!!

I can now see Birthday Bundles #2 and Birthday Bundles #3 in my future💖

Be sure and join 1 or all of the 3 ways of fun to earn prizes.

Love and Hugs..
