My Mother-in-Law’s Birthday Card

By tarryn on December 27, 2017

Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies by Stampin up is a really fun set and it has taken me a while to find inspiration to use it. This card is a very simple DIY birthday card tutorial but I think it is a really beautiful card. Sometimes you don’t need to spend hours to come up with something that is really beautiful and professional looking.

Supplies

Ink Pads (Lemon Lime Twist) Stampin Up
Ink Refills (Lemon Lime Twist, Elegant Eggplant) Stampin Up
Sequins (Bermuda Bay) Stampin Up
Think Purple Marker (available at any craft or office supply store)
Precut, and folded card kits (available at any craft store) or you could cut white cardstock to 8.5 X 5.5 inches and fold in half (I recommend at least 100lb)

Cards | Special Technique

Make your own Stamps

By tarryn on November 15, 2017

You don’t have to use thinlets you can just trace your own shapes and cut them out! These are great, I had so much fun with this technique.

~~~Supplies~~~

Ink: I use Stampin’ Up Ink, but I’m sure any ink will do.
Scissors or Thinlets: To cut your shape
The stamp and thinlet set is also from Stampin’ Up however, it is discontinued but you can find tons of fun ones still available!
Acrylic Block: You can buy these from any craft supplier or you can find hard and flat just to use to ink up your stamp and make your stamp impression.
Foam Sheets: Any craft supplier or even the dollar store would probably carry these.

~~~Video Mention~~~

Paint with your ink pad

Cards | Special Technique

Emboss with Eyeshadow Pt. 1

By tarryn on

A fun way to use up old eyeshadow that you don’t use anymore or even pick up some cheap stuff from the dollar store to create this beautiful inexpensive technique. If you are already a card maker then you probably have the stuff you need. It is not expensive and is worth the investment.

~~~What you need~~~

Eyeshadow (obviously): old, new, used, doesn’t matter (sparkly or metallic works best)
Versamark Ink Pad: Stampin Up
Heat Tool (for setting embossing powder – no, hairdryers don’t work): Amazon
Heat and Stick powder (try it with glitter, for more fun!): Amazon
Fabulous new feather set (Feather Together): Stampin’ Up
Cardstock Options (don’t limit yourself to black): Stampin’ Up

Gorgeous inexpensive eyeshadow for your project:
