    • Sneak Peek – May 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit

      Posted at 7:17 am by Christine Patterson
      May 22nd

      Hello Everyone! Christine from Pattercrafts here with a Sneak Peek of the Flavor of the Month Card Kit!

      Today I decided to make a circle card – which isn’t something I usually do but I had a lot of fun with this one! I cut a circle card base with the largest circle die I had – paying attention to move the die just above where the base is folded. I used a die cutting machine to create a 4 inch scallop circle from the Wisteria card stock from the kit.

      I chose a few pieces of pattern paper from the collection and cut the pieces from different dies (1 circle for the main panel and 3 fishtail banner dies in different sizes). To make sure the banners were curved where the circle is on the main panel, I placed the pieces where I wanted them and used washi tape to hold them together. Keeping the pieces on the circle panel piece, I then lined the circle die back up over top and used more washi tape to hold it all together so I could run it through my die cutting machine.

      I colored the Pegasus image from the stamp set in this collection with copic markers and added lots of Wink of Stella. I then added the image to the card with some foam tape.

      On the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and the star images that comes with the stamp set.

      I’m super excited about this month’s card kit. Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and get inspired!

    • “Congrats on the Hatchling” – Baby Card featuring Pink and Main’s “Fired Up”

      Posted at 10:44 pm by Christine Patterson
      May 7th

      Hello Everyone! Christine from Pattercrafts here with a baby card using Pink and Main’s “Fired Up” stamp set and the “Dragon Tales” stencil by Brett Weldele.

      To create this background I used Peeled Paint, Chipped Sapphire and Concord Grape distress ink on watercolor paper. I cut the panel down with a stitched, rectangle die. Once the ink dried, I put the “Dragon Tales” stencil by Brett Weldele over the top and tapped Delicata Silvery Shimmer pigment ink all over.

      I stamped out the dragons from the stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them.

      I chose the sentiment “congrats on the hatchling” and stamped that with the Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink on a white card stock I cut with a fishtail banner die.

      Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoy and get inspired.

      Hello Everyone! Christine with Pattercrafts here with a birthday card using products from the Banana Split Level of the March Flavor of the Month! I wanted to do one more card with this kit before the April Card Kit Reveals this week. I decided to make a shaker card since it has been quite a while since I made one last.

      Using these fun Mod Rectangle dies I cut down some pattern paper from Collection 2. I stamped the greeting with one of the sentiment stamps found in the “Sentiment Stamp Set” included in the banana split level package. The party hat is ephemera included in Collection 2.

      Thank You So Much for stopping by today. The March Flavor of the Month Card Kit is still available if you are interested. Click Here

      Apr 11th

      Hello Everyone!  Is it Spring at Last?  I sure hope so!  Today I am using a rubber stamp from Santoro – Gorjuss Girl #43 “Spring at Last”.

      pic 3AFor this card, I wanted a fun border so I used a stitched scallop border die and trimmed the edge of the card on the right.  I stamped the image in the center of the cut down panel with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  I masked her and used distress ink to create a bed of grass for her to lay in the cool spring air.  I used Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn and Cracked Pistachio.

      Pic 4AI then colored the image with Copic markers and added a few Nuvo drops to finish the card.

      Thank You so Much for joining me today.  I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Newton’s Nook – Newton’s Rainy Day

      Posted at 6:59 am by Christine Patterson
      Apr 5th

      Hello Everyone!  Christine from Pattercrafts here with another card using Newton’s Nook!  April Showers have been showing up where I am and I thought little Newton and his friend were perfect for an April card!  This stamp set is Newton’s Rainy Day!

      I stamped Newton in the corner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with Copic markers.  I kept this card simple and after coloring the image I masked it off and added ink splatters.  The ink splatters are from a bluish tombow marker. I scribbled some ink on an acrylic block, added water and flicked it onto my project.  Once dry I added clear Wink of Stella glitter brush to the umbrella and finished the card with a variety of Nuvo Drops!  

      Thank you so much for joining me today!

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Masculine Birthday Card featuring TIMBER by Pink and Main

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Mar 4th

      Hello Everyone!  Christine here from Pattercrafts with this fun, interactive, masculine, birthday card.  Today I made a waterfall card using the Timber Stamp Set by Pink and Main.  I created the main panel using a wood grain stencil and distress ink (Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain).  The “waterfall” piece is made from black cardstock that is cut to 9x2 and scored at  2, 2 3/4, 3 1/2, 4 1/4.  

      A piece of black cardstock is placed across the panel; tape runner is put just at the ends and a tree shaped brad adds a little extra to keep the piece in place.  A little adhesive holds the waterfall piece to the front of the strip (not on the back – you need to pull that piece down for the waterfall effect).  

      To finish the card – I stamped one of the images on the inside and colored him with Copic markers and added the sentiment to the inside.

      Thank You So Much for stopping by today!  

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired!
