Purple and Green CC Challenge

I made this card for the latest challenge at CropChocolate. the challenge was to make something using purple and green.  My daughter loves the color purple so I have tons of it and decided to make it my main color with some green accents.  I love this stamp from Unity and couldn't wait to use it.  Here is the easel card I made:

Faux Chipboard Tutorial with Cameo

When I saw the the theme was Ice I thought of iridescent paper and bling, two of my favorite things.  I have always love the look of chipboard but the only drawback of the Cameo is that it can't cut chipboard, plus it's hit and miss on the acid free content. I decided to layer four of the same die cut to achieve the dimension of chipboard and this way I know the end result is acid free.

 

Step 1:  Modify and size your shape as necessary and then cut four times, in my case I merged the design twice and then copied it four times.  The more layers you add the more dimension you will get but if your design is very intricate and detailed it gets harder to match each layer.

Step 2: Carefully remove the design from the mat and line up how you will use them, if your paper has a good and bad side make sure you have the right side up

Step 3: Apply a re-positionable spray adhesive, use a spray for a light even coverage and re-positionable will give you some flexibility when matching the layers before setting permanently.  Note because spray adhesive tends to splatter do this outside or in an empty box.

 

Step 4: Carefully match the layers up and press down, repeat for all layers.  Note the more intricate and delicate the design the more difficult this will be.  I sometimes use 5 layers but this design was intricate and it was getting difficult to keep everything together so I used four.

 

Step 5:  Embellish as desired and attach to your project  (I added some bling with the I-roc)

Baby it's Cold Outside

I made this card for the latest Crop Chocolate challenge, its based on the January theme of ice.  We had to use mittens in some form and some bling. I cut these out of the Cameo and used some twine and added the snowflakes and bling.  I just got this stamp set for Christmas and I am so excited to use it.  My daughter always complains that I never make her cards so this one is going in her lunch with a special note from Mom.  She loves to get little notes from me and I know she is going to love this one, I just love how it turned out.

Tag Swap

The Crop Chocolate design team recently decided to do a tag swap.   I have to be honest I am not great with tags, and I really struggle with them.  For this one I misted the background, and then heat embossed with a Hero Arts stamp for the background.  Next I distressed the edges with my TH distresser and added some Spellbinders die cuts.  My partner has posted that she got hers to I can finally post a picture.  The letters were cut with my Cameo and then I sprayed some glue and added glitter to the letters.

 Supplies used:

• Plain tag
• Spellbinders Create a Flake 1
• I-Roc and clear rhinestones
• MS Black Glitter
• White Embossing Powder
• Twinery Twine
