Birthday card with a vizsla

Hello everyone, I'm here with my second inspirational project that I made for our May challenge over at the Country View Challenges. The theme is Cats and/or Dogs and the lovely Rachel is your hostess this time.

When I created my first project, the wine tag, I stamped and coloured two vizslas. This is the second one.

And when I made the birthday card for my dad in February, I also made an extra background with the Numeric embossing folder. And it was just perfect for my new birthday card with this lovely vizsla and the snarky text. (If you click on the birthday card word above, you will find the tutorial of the background.)

What I used:

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Dogs (CMS271)

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Things (CMS237)

Sizzix embossing folder, Numeric (661827)

Idea-Ology, Small Talk, Snarky (TH93704)

Copic markers

etc.

Wine tag with vizsla

Hello everyone, I'm here with my first inspirational project for our May challenge at the Country View Challenges. This month the lovely Rachel will be your hostess, so she chose the theme, Cats and/or Dogs.

For this challenge, I created a wine tag with my favourite vizsla stamp. 

I cut out a wine tag shape from 300 gsm watercolour paper, then I made a zigzag background with one of the Tim Holtz stencils. For this, I used white embossing powder that I melted with a heat tool.

Then I blended Twisted Citron Distress ink onto the surface. The vizsla was stamped with black Tsukineko Memento ink on Neenah Solar white paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

What I used:

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Dogs (CMS271)

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Talk (CMS236)

Stampers Anonymous, Zigzag layering stencil (THS047)

Happy 100th - Celebrate!

Hello everyone, this is my second project for our June challenge. The Country View Challenges celebrates the 100th challenge this month, so the theme is about 100. You can join this project if you put the 100 on your project and if you get the inspiration from one of the DT creations. You can also win if you leave a comment at the Country View Challenges and the DT members - I hope I remember well on the rules, but please to be sure go to the CVC blog for a double check. 

So here is my second make, a journal page this time.

For making this page, I cut out a rectangle panel. Then I stamped to the middle the 100 with Distress ink. I added black embossing powder to the stamped number and melted with a heating tool. 

The next step was colouring the rest of the panel with Tumbled Glass and Speckled Egg Distress inks.

The crazy dogs were stamped on Neenah Solar White paper with Tsukineko Memento ink (Espresso Truffle). That is a Topic friendly ink. Then I coloured the images with Comic Sketch markers.

I fussy cut the images and arranged them on the rectangle panel.

I drew black lines to the edges of the panel and the tiny text strips.

What I used:

Stampers Anonymous, Numeric (CMS161)

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Talk (CMS236)

Stampers Anonymous, Mini Bird Crazy&Things (CMS250)

Tag - French bulldog in Paris

Hello everyone, I'm here with my second inspirational project for our May challenge over at the Country View Challenges. The theme is: We will always have Paris and the lovely Christine (Crafty Field) will be your hostess.

As you can see to fulfil the requirements of the theme, I used an Eiffel Tower, a French bulldog and the word Paris. 

To make the tag, I used a chipboard and cut out a tag shape with the old and retired but so loved Tag&Bookplates Movers&Shapers Sizzix die. I put a layer of gesso onto the surface and then I painted both sides with Speckled Eggs Distress paint. For the embossed pattern, I used white embossing powder.

I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Archival ink. After this, I toned back a little bit with wet Picket Fence. And when it was dry I first spattered with Picket Fence, then with Gathered Twigs Distress Paint.

The Eiffel Tower was embossed with Potting Soil embossing powder. The dog was coloured with Hickory Smoke Distress marker, the balloon with Twisted Citron.

What I used:

Sizzix Movers&Shapers die, Tag&Bookplate

Sizzix Thinlits die, Circle Play

Interactive birthday card with crazy bird and dog

Hello crafty friends, I'm here with the second inspirational project for the July challenge of the Country View Challenges. The theme was chosen by the lovely Sue, Do more of what makes you happy.

Well, you might know that I love polka dot and I love to create polka dot backgrounds. I also love Tim Holtz's products and mainly the Crazy series. What else? I love cheery cards too. For this card, I used one of my earlier cards as an inspiration (you can see it here). 

So here is my new interactive card:

This is not my first interactive card and when I posted my dinosaur card, I wrote a tutorial about how to make an image movable. 

What I used:

Stampers Anonymous, Polkadot Layering Stencil (THS068)

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Talk (CMS236)

And here is a little video of how it works.

Birthday card with a vizsla - yellow bokeh

Our October challenge is bokeh at the Country View Crafts, and because I really enjoyed making bokeh background here is my third card which is not made as an inspirational project for the CVC blog, it was made for fun. 

Oh, and one more thing, for this card, I used my earlier design, a card with the same vizsla in front of a yellow background.

For the background I used Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress inks, I put Mustard Seed to the top and Squeezed Lemonade to the bottom and mixed the colours in the middle.

Then I blended Squeezed Lemonade DOX ink and Picket Fence ink through a stencil with circles. I applied Squeezed Lemonade DOX through the large circle and Picket Fence through the smaller.

The dog and the pockets were stamped on Neenah Solar White Paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

I hope you like it!!! Thank you for stopping by!!!

Birthday card with crazy dog and crazy bird

I didn't want to miss the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week where the theme is Happy Birthday. So I made this:

For the background, I used Weathered Wood and Stormy Sky Distress ink, then I spritzed with water. 

Next, I took the Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink and the Numbered layering stencil and stencilled some numbers.

I inked the edges with Frayed Burlap ink, then I stamped the text and the bird's outline with Jet Black Archival ink. 

To protect this background, I took a plastic sheet and spritzed Distress Resist Spray on it. With a piece of sponge, I dabbed the liquid onto the surface. With this technique, you can put an even layer without smudging the inks.

After drying it looks like this, a little shiny.

What I used:

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Things (CMS237)

Stampers Anonymous, Mini Bird Crazy&Things (CMS250)

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Dogs (CMS271)

New Year card with crazy dog by Tim Holtz

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

And if it's January 1, then it's a new challenge over at the Country View Challenges. I bet, you will love the theme: Anything goes.

So for our new challenge, I made a new year card with Tim Holtz stamps and dies.

Here is my tutorial. 

First I cut out a rectangle from a mixed media paper and then I painted turquoise with Spa Blue (DecoArt). The first layer was painted with a brush but the second one was added with a sponge with tapping movement.

I painted gold the cut-outs and here one layer was enough.

I inked all the edges (the gold and turquoise as well) with Ranger Archival Potting Soil.

I spattered with brown paint the surface of the turquoise card and after drying I put a layer of Ranger Distress Collage Medium (Matte).

I used Tim's Stamping Tool to stamp the crazy dog and hat and then coloured them with Ranger Distress markers.

I stamped the text and embossed with gold.

I put my card together and for this I used 4 different adhesives: Pritt Stift, Rayher paper glue, double sided tape adhesive and foam adhesive.
