Martini Lady

 This stamp reminds me of Holly Goes lightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Gold mirror paper and  Metallic paper is always a beautiful combination choice.

Supplies needed:

Momento Black Ink

Versa mark ink

Embossing buddy 

tape

Purple and lilac metallic papers

Gold mirror Paper 

Gold Embossing powder

3" gold ribbon 

1 glue dot

A2 Card with a window diecut out in the center. I have to apologize didn't realize this card kit isn't available.

Because metallic paper  use your embossing buddy. Versa mark for wet embossing the gold embossing powder. 

For the sentiment,  I inserted the lilac paper and made tic marks on each side to make sure the stamp was placed correctly.  (I use a mechanical pencil,  it erases better than any pencil I have found). 

I taped the mountain and valley to the inside tag. Which was included in the kit. I used a glue dot on the ribbon because I wanted the ribbon to lay flat.

Swinging Fairies

                Night-time Swinging Fairies 

I don't normally do silhouette stamps so this stamp was fun yet challenging.

 I started out with ivory cardstock.  I masked off for the moon. Used scattered straw and squeezed lemonade Distressed oxide for the glow around the moon. Then I applied more Distressed Oxides for the background, starting with the BluePrint Sketch.  Next I'll be bringing  in Faded Jeans.  Last I used the Chipped Sapphire to finish up the edge. I used a white gel pen for highlights on the Fairies and stars. Used black and silver metallic cardstock. 

Swing Fairies

 

Spellbinders circle dies 1 - 7.25"  and  1 - 4" circle die. The large circle was scored in half. Which turns this card into a rocking card. I used Distressed Oxide ink, Chipped Sapphire around the edges of both circles. 

Stamped with Versa-fine Black Oxide, then I used my heatgun to set the ink. Out lined with a white gel pen for highlights.  Beautiful purple and silver Sequins.

Swinging Fairies

 I left the lights for this one.  Maybe I added too much bling, 🤣 fairies love sparkly things. Mainly jewelry,  like some people I know

.  

Isn't this a beautiful stamp? It's more beautiful in person. Had to make a night one. I used a flickering candle light to give it a beautiful glow.

Playing with alcohol inks and vellum.  I haven't created with alcohol inks in years.  I forgot how much fun it was.  Needless to say I'll be playing with them again soon.

 These are beautiful,  they are the pearl alcohol inks.  I use the color combination often. I love bold bright colors. 

I positioned the stamp with the positioner.  Using the diecut cardstock to prevent from any mishaps. 

 After the stamp is on the top before inking. You want to remove the cardstock. I Stamped directly on top of the alcohol inks.  I wanted more vibrant colors not muted.

Marilyn Monroe Candle

 

I just had a couple of candles on hand. So why not, I haven't Stamped a candle in along time.  The Stamp can be found at Crackerbox Palace and Suzy Stamps https://rubberartstamps.com/ever-notice/

I started with an oval shape tissue paper.  Used Momento Black Ink.  I Stamped several times because of the solid image.  Then I placed the tissue on the candle. I wrapped waxpaper around the candle. To keep the tissue in place.  Using my heat gun to melt the wax for the the tissue paper and the candle to melt together to become one.  Keep you heat gun moving otherwise the candle will melt too much. Also take short breaks to allow the candle to cool down.  Then of course I added some bling  Close to my heart https://keeleyskreations.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=Bling

When Die cuting for the pop out use the larger one toward the outside and smaller in the middle. U will be using the larger one twice.  Make sure you move the pop out part to be in place. Use your bone folder firmly to get all the folds nice and crisp. Then adhere one side of the of the white card stock to the blue then the otherwise.
Once you have colored your images, then u can fussy cut the the Rabbit,  Tiger and Squirrel.
Now adhere the Critters to the popout. Then I fold my card and press down to make sure all images are secure. I have included several Sentiments.  So u can choose one of ur liking.

1 - A2 White Cardstock

Too Assemble:
First use the stencil blue paper, measure the corner to know where u need to cut ur  diangle 2. When securing ur brads always use ur tool betweenthe Brad and the washer. It allows you to give just enough space to allow your arm to move freely.  3. Insert 1 Brad into the rounded part , of the arm die-cut. Make sure all brad heads are facing up. 4.  On the tip of the arm add 1 lrg washer under the arm and 1sm washer on top the arm.  5. Make sure everything is moving freely b4 finishing securing ur images. Also make sure to use a tiny bit of tape on the back part of the Brad. This will help to keep ur image from moving around. 8.Once the images are adhered to the Brad. 8. Use the foam tape on the back of the blue paper. I use glue on foam tape, it gives me freedom incase I need to adjust. Keeping it clear from ur arms to keep it from interfere with the mechanism.  

Momento Black Ink
For Coloring:
Yellow - Y12, Y13, Y15,  YR27
Black - C6
Skin - E000, E00, E11,R20  (E11 for knees)

Hair - E11, E13, E15, E18
Lips - R29

Use 5 pop dots for the back of the queen Bee.  1 on the back of the bee facing the left. After they are adhered,  use the embossing buddy to rub over the pop dots to remove the stickiness.  This will help to balance out ur images, yet keep them from sticking.  Now you can adhere the bees and the sentiments.  If u are having issues with Edna or the bee staying glued.  You can always try Crystal nuvo drops.
