  Cold Hands with Waffle Flower

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Nov 13th

  

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the Waffle Flower Cold Hands Stamp Set and Sticky Back Glitter Paper in Silver from Darice.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  To create this card I started with an A2 size cardbase or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches. I used Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I stamped the images I wanted to use with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut the images out.

  I cut the glitter paper for the front panel to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches and cut out a 3 1/4 inch circle towards the top center of the card and then cut out another circle from white card stock with a 3 1/2 inch die.

  I used a cloud stencil, Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to create the background sky on the 3 1/2 inch circle. I left the bottom of the circle white. Then I used one of the tree stamps and stamped a few trees with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.

  I adhered all of the tree images to the 3 1/2 inch circle panel and popped the mouse images up with some foam dots. I adhered the 3 1/2 inch circle to the top of the card base and then adhered the glitter paper to the card base lining up the circles. I stamped the sentient “Cold Hands” from Hero Arts Ink in Moss on a white strip of card stock. I cut the banner down to 4 1/4 X 3/4 inches and adhered it towards the bottom of the card with some foam tape.

  To finish it off I stamped on the inside of the card the sentiment “Warm Heart”, as well as, the image of the mittens with the string of them creating a heart. I colored in the mittens with copic markers.

  Mad 4 Plaid Thanksgiving Card

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Nov 6th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a sweet Thanksgiving card using PhotoPlay Mad 4 Plaid Fall Stamp Set, Darice Sticky Gold Glitter Paper, and Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood Paper Pad.

  You can check out my process video HERE!

  

  This is an A2 size card or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches.  I used a dark brown card base from my stash.  I stamped the leaves on the back of the glitter paper and scanned through my Scan N Cut, then I flipped the glitter paper over so the glitter side was facing up and let the machine cut out the images.  I stamped the images of the fox and acorn from the stamp set and colored them with Copic markers (colors in the photo below).  I didn’t color the leaf of the acorn because I stamped that on the back of the Glitter paper and cut it too.

  Once I finished up the images I used the Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood Paper Pad and cut the back panel in orange to 4 X 5 1.4 inches.  The turquoise colored piece was 4 X 3/4 inches.  The used dies from a Karen Burniston set to cut the yellow background piece and the light brown scalloped edge piece of pattern paper and layered all the pieces onto the card.

  I stamped the sentiment on the top of the top panel of the card, adhered the acorn and used foam tape on the fox and placed it on the card.

  That’s it!  Easy Peasy!

  

  

  Thanks for stopping by!

  Heat Embossing with Picket Fence Studios String of Lights

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Oct 2nd

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a few cards using the Picket Fence Studios “String of Lights” stamp set.

  I love how simple yet lovely these cards were!

  To start I picked out A2 size card bases from my stash, cut down white cardstock panels to 4 X 5 1/4 inches.  Then I  stamped the images and sentiment together using my Mini Misti and Brutus Monroe embossing ink. I picked red, silver, gold, and green embossing powders and heat embossed them.  I adhered the card panels to the card bases. Then I simply added some embellishments for one I used sequins from an old SFL FOTM card kit and the rest I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops, the colors I used were Autumn Red and Silver Lining. Easy Peasy right!

  Window Shopping with PinkFresh Studios “Merry and Bright”

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Sep 25th

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a couple of cards using the “Merry and Bright” stamp set from PinkFresh Studios and Santa’s Workshop Paper Pad from Carta Bella.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  This is a 5 1/2 inch square card.  I used a die to cut for squares to make the window from a piece of pattern paper from the Santa’s Workshop paper pad cut to 5 1/2 inches, then I made a template of curtains, traced it onto a different piece of pattern paper and cut it out. I adhered the curtains to the window frame.

  I then used a solid blue piece from the paper to use as the background.  I stamped all of the images for both cards from the “Merry and Bright” stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them out with my Scan N Cut.

  Next, I adhered the images to the blue panel and checked on placement every now and then by holding the window frame piece over it.  Once I had everything in place I adhered the back panel to the card base and then adhered the front panel to that.

  To finish it off I stamped the sentiment onto a white strip of paper and fishtailed the ends, then colored it in, popped it up with some fun foam and adhered it to the center of the card.

  

  My second card is also a 5 1/2 inch square but I made a little differently, I used an SVG file and card out the card base and curtain, then I adhered a piece of acetate to the window frame, I ran the curtain through my Big Kick using the Carta Bella embossing folder “Ogee” to give it some dimension, and then adhered it to the window panel.

  I glued a panel that I made by using a technique with Copic markers and rubbing alcohol, glued all the images down and then decided I didn’t like it.  So I cut the front panel off and the back of the card with the panel down to about 5 1/4 inches and adhered both to the front of a 5 1/2 inch square card base.

  Then I decided I didn’t like the white window frame so I colored it with Copic markers. To finish it off I stamped the sentiment onto a white strip of paper and fishtailed the ends, then colored it in, popped it up with some fun foam and adhered it to the center of the card.

  These are both A2 or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch cards.

  I used sentiments from the set and VersaFine Onyx Black ink and Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink.

  For the embellishments, I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops and some iridescent clear sequins. Shimmer Spray that I make the video is HERE if you want to check it out.

  Witch Way Is the Candy? from MFT and Knit Picky Fall from Lawn Fawn

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Sep 4th

  

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the “Witch Way Is the Candy” stamp set from My Favorite Things.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  I stamped the images with an alcohol marker friendly ink and colored them with Copic markers. Then I used my Scan N Cut DX 125 to cut the images out.

  This is an A2 or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch card. I used the Knit Picky Fall Paper Pad, found a piece I liked and cut it down to 4 X 5 1/4 inches for the front panel. I cut an oval out of the center with a die to create a frame.

  I used Sticko “Autumn Pumpkin” and SandyLion “Tree With Leaves” stickers to create a scene. I popped up the images with foam tape to finish off the card.

  Coloring with Embossing Powder While We Shake Our Tail Feathers

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Aug 14th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a few cards using the “Let’s Shake Our Tail Feathers” stamp set from Picket Fence Studios.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  I heat embossed with colored Embossing Powder the peacock tail feathers after stamping it with Clear Embossing Ink.

  I put the embossing powder down in kind of rows and then tapped off the excess.  It mixed the embossing powders that I used but I was OK with that, I even made one with the mixed up embossing powders!

  I used sentiments from the set and embossed them with silver embossing powder.

  For the embellishments, I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops, Glossy Dots in silver from Pink & Main, and some iridescent clear sequins.
