A|S September Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the last stop on the blog hop!  You should have come from Lianna’s blog at http://llamatales.blogspot.com/

If  not, you can go to the start of the hop at the Studio Stampers blog at http://www.studiostampers.com

I really like the typewriter image and the fun phrases in Just My Type.  I’ve made six or seven cards with this set already and my other stamps might be getting neglected.

On this card, I decided to emboss the image in white on the onyx cardstock.  I used an Exacto knife to cut a slit for the paper to come out of the typewriter.  Sky ink was applied to the edges of the school lined paper to add some contrast along with the cherry ribbon.

All items are from A|S, available in my store, except the Fiskars notebook border punch.

Cardstock: kraft, sugar, and school lined
Ink: onyx, sky, and Versamark
Ribbon: cherry stitched grosgrain and onyx bakers twine
Embossing Powder: white

 

Here’s the full line up of the blog hop.

Manly card with felt

What’s more manly than mustaches? 

How about three mustaches. 
I stamped the images in Onyx and then used a glue pen to go over the area and then sprinkled Onyx flock over and pressed down a bit to get really good coverage. 
I used a scallop border die for the strip of slate felt to add even more texture.
Dang, I should of taken a pic of the inside.  The sentiment is You da man!
All items are A|Muse Studio, check them out at my site.
Have a great day!

Masking Challenge Card

 

There’s a challenge over at Studio Stampers to use masking on a card.  Come join us!

Here’s the challenge card.

Here’s my take on masking.

Here’s a close up of the masking.

I started this card by stamping the vintage label shape on the kraft cardstock and then stamping the sentiment in two inks.  Then I die cut the vintage label shape and the large butterfly.  Using temporary adhesive I placed the die cuts on the kraft cardstock and stamped the woodgrain over top.  Then remove the die cuts to have the masked images.  Pretty easy!

I went on to die cut the two butterflies and used a pop dot between the layers to add some depth and added a string of twinkle stickers to the butterfly. 

I selected the blush cardstock as the base to tie in the pink on the card.

Quick and easy way to use masking on a card.

 

All items are A|S:

Cardstock: kraft, blush, and bubblegum

Ink: french roast and bubblegum

Dies: butterfly trio and vintage label

Twinkle Stickers

Stamps: Vintage Labels, Hand Scripted and Woodgrain

All A|S items are available at my A|S store. As always contact me if you have any questions.

Have a great day!
