Hi everyone, Ginny Here, I wanted to show you a card I made with a freebie I received!  Because I own several Cricut products, I get a lot of emails to sell me more Cricut products.  I also get notification of freebies for my machines, and like that!  I’m always making birthday cards and recently I got a great  Freebie for birthday cards.  Today I am going to show you how I made a super fast masculine Birthday card.

I’ll show you the card and then the process:

I really wanted to use this Beautiful Nero Incandescent paper by paper temptress as a special focal paper, it is black with a gold shimmer`it is really beautiful! This is a #76cover weight paper and cuts perfectly on the electronic cutting machine and hand cutting dye machine ( I use both!).  Due to my lighting this looks browner than black in this picture. But It is blck with gold shimmer, and just a touch of texture!

I selected a card base, layering, and focal papers

I stamped a watermark image using my Misti and a TH stamp

This was the first time I have used this ink pad, it is a dye base white, I wasn’t sure how well it would work.

It worked great!

I die cut my Happy Birthdays ( this was the Cricut freebie)

And using my Best Glue Ever  I was able to easily dot on the right amount of glue- here I am using the no-clog cap, I keep several bottles on hand one with this fine line no-clog cap and one with the regular tip

 It goes on perfect! and one thing I love using Best Glue Ever, it something is not straight the first time, I have a few seconds to fix it – unlike using  ATG tape!

this fine cut lays perfectly flat

Along with all the layers – no rumpling!

The SVG cut is part of Cricut Access, so if you are a member you can find it over on the Cricut Design Studio.  when I am making masculine cards, they tend to have darker stronger colors on a trick to keep them from looking dismal is to keep your color contrasting high.  This high contrast will draw the eye and have an overall pleasing look.  dark colors can easily look muddy and dismal if the contrast isn’t high.

I hope you found this post helpful to your card making,

thanks for stopping by, Ginny M

Hi All PaperTemptress.com has become a retailer for Heartfelt Creations so will be selling some of my favorite collections that Heartfelt Creations is selling… I am purchasing items that other retailers don’t carry which is basically Heartfelt Creations  I want it all collections which is the whole collection that comes in an adorable clear zipper bag.  Right now I do have their latest GORGEOUS Butterfly Dreams Collection at a very discounted rate of $135 which does include shipping so a great value, if purchased thru Heartfelt Creations the whole collection would be $179 and this is WITHOUT the adorable clear zippered bag…

The Butterfly Dreams Collection includes 3 stamp sets with 3 die sets that coordinate plus the paper pad which is STUNNING…the most gorgeous paper pad I have seen in my many years….so here are some pictures of the collection . If you are interested please contact me @ orders@papertemptress.com…thanks and if you see something on the Heartfelt Creations website please let me know since I don’t plan on carrying all of their products.  A card I designed with the Butterfly Dreams collection…soooo easy! I cut these butterflies out of the butterfly and die stamp sets…the dies has 3 different dies, 2 outline dies which cut out both butterflies and then one that only cuts out the inside of the butterfly on the left, as you can see you can cut the larger butterfly with just the outline in case you want to color the butterfly or you can cut it out like the middle one which makes it more ornate and then there is the last butterfly…their measurements are:  the butterfly that is on the left is 3 x 4 and the butterfly on the right is 4 x 3.5.The top die does not actually cut out the stamped butterfly as shown but you can easily cut it out with scissors or there is a die that was released earlier so let me know if you would be interested in that die…the bottom butterfly does cut out completely as shown here

This is the last stamp and die set….amazing sentiments, another butterfly, and some very ornate cut outs including a Thank you die cut….and now the absolutely STUNNING PAPER PAD..
There paper pads come with different sizes of the pages so you can design greeting card and other designs easily.  And here is the whole collection in the very cute clear zippered bag that it will come in..

I am selling this whole amazing collection for $135 which does include shipping…if you purchased this thru Heartfelt Creations you would pay $179 and would NOT receive the very cute bag…I only have 2 of these so if you want one DO NOT HESITATE to contact me at orders@papertemptress.com.

This is a card I made for a dear friend.  All the cardstock from this card came from the Spring Speciality Package. For a limited time shipping is free.

The base for the card is Aqua Basis.  The Silver Lustre (cardstock that has the stripe to it) is accented with Teal Basis.  Actually all the layers are accented by Teal Basis.  All the patterned cardstock is Cryogen White.  This cardstock is so versatile.  On two of the pieces I put ink on the embossing folder and ran it through my big shot.  The other piece I just stamped on.  This cardstock also has a nice sheen to it which is awesome also.

Hi Everyone, Ginny here.  Today’s card is the second card of my one stamps two style cards. The first post is here along with the process.  Today’s card is also very dramatic and completely different!

Here is the card:

The first card – I even placed the stamps in the same areas.

The stamping paper I used for this card is Vintage Silver  Luster by Paper Temptress.

For today’s card, I used Paper Temptress Eclipse Black

I stamped my images and heat embossed in gold

Picked a few colors of metallic  colored pencils

I use a scrap piece to swatch out my colors

and then simply color- a hint keep your stroke all going the same way.

this works up really fast – I also added a little glitter

The Eclipse Black really hold and showcases the colored pencil beautifully!

I used The Best Glue Ever to keep it all together, including the ribbon!

There you have it one stamp, two styles

Thanks for stopping by and stop by the Paper Temptress, you never know what special she’s running till you get there!

I actually spent the weekend making cards…I can only show a couple here since I did send a couple of them out so will show them once they have been received but had a lot of fun making these….

First one….I stamped one of my favorite stamps from Concord & 9th (soooo in love with this company now) called Blooms fill in where you fill in the openings with stamps that are included in the set (just found out it is on sale..ugh just spent $40 LOL…true..but bought the dies that go with this stamp set)…on  Heavenly White 120# which is becoming my go to cardstock these days since it truly inks beautifully…after done stamping or using a stencil it looks more like it was printed then ink added..love love love. So I kept it fairly simple with just adding the sentiment (MFT) with an older Spellbinder die that was also cut out of Heavenly White and actually sprayed with Heidi Swapp’s Color shine in the color Primrose…that is why there is a spot just a little darker than the rest but I thought it added interest. of course I had to add a little bling….and then placed it on another of my favorite cardstocks the Teal BASIS 80# . I am OBSESSED with Teal and have been for a long long time so this Teal cardstock is used a lot these days!And now for the 2nd card….this one just started out of no where LOL..I was actually going thru some of my stamps and came across a round one with a variety of flowers on it…I had also been watching Theresa Momber’s video on using mask to create a partial scene so I wanted to try that technique.  Of course I had to use my absolute favorite technique of resist stamping where you heat emboss with clear embossing powder (mine had a little sparkle in it which you can see a bit of and then inked over the embossing powder, and once again used the Heavenly White 120# ..now my card didn’t turn out anything like Theresa’s video but it did give me ideas.  While I am working on this card I came across the pink circle that I had cut out who knows when LOL and it just happened to fit perfectly and looked good…then I used the circle mask that was leftover from the mask I had created to create the resist area and covered up the center and took a 6×6 polka dot stamp and stamped over the full sheet….and again placed the front on the gorgeous Teal BASIS 80# cardstock….then added a simple sentiment to a die cut from a PaperTrey Ink die and all done!

First off I want to say that all the cardstock for this card came from the Spring Premium Package.  The colors in this package are to die for.

The base of this card and the tag are both from Pink Basis.  I needed to use a contrast for the second layer and I needed to be thick enough that I could distress the edges.  Amethyst Mica Metallic did the trick and added a little sheen also.

The main layer is  Silver Laser Lustre.  I used a stencil and non smear chalk for the designs, some stamping and also some glitter stickles.  This cardstock has stripes of sheen and with the colors added gave me the collage look I was looking for.

I am totally intrigued with the collage look right now.  So until next time go to Paper Temptress and check out the Spring Premium Package.
