Pre-Teen Boy Magic Slider Birthday

Happy Winter!

My grandson is turning 12 this year.  Boys' cards are difficult for me and since he's older, I didn't think a cutesy card would do. I did a pinterest search for "teen boy handmade card" and was reminded of the SU! stamp set I used here. Perfect!

My step-daughter recently bought the interactive Lawn Fawn Magic Color Slider dies for my birthday so I thought this would be the perfect time to try using them. I watched a Lawn Fawn YouTube video on how to create the interactive element and then I was off to creating. Their videos are so detailed and well made. I love them!

Since the images need to be stamped twice in the same orientation, I put the two stamps, headphones and sneakers, in my MISTI on opposite sides. I cut a piece of acetate and a piece of white cardstock to the same size and stamped the earphone image on both pieces. I masked the earphones, flipped the MISTI and stamped the sneakers on both pieces. I then masked the sneakers on the white piece and ink-blended the background. I colored the images with SU! Blender Pen and SU! inks. I had to do some stamp masking to separate "You're" from "AWESOME" on the white piece.

I think it turned out pretty neat.  I didn't get the two images in EXACTLY the same location of both the acetate and white piece so when the separator is open, there's a bit of a double outline. A single image, rather than two, would have prevented that but it's all good. All the masking was fun to figure out. I don't mask things very often. The interactive element was so very easy.

I hope you like the card and thanks for popping by.

Magical Unicorn See-Thru Shaker

Here's another cute card for one of my "littles" ... My grandniece turned 2 this year.  I wanted to make her a card with a simple interactive element and shaker cards are the best for that, in my humble opinion ... nothing to move that could tear up the card. 😂  I also wanted to stretch my crafting skills a bit and step it up from normal shaker cards so I decided on making a see-thru shaker.  With that decided, I went to my handy dandy stash of saved and unused Freshly Made Sketches designs and picked #FMS358 .  Next, I looked through the splitcoaststampers.com past color challenges for a "girly" color combo and chose #CC1004 .  Lastly, I looked through my Big Book of Stamps and found the rarely used SSS Magical Birthday set ... I actually think I used this stamp set to dress up the brown wrapping paper on her present last year, hmmm, theme? BTW , my handmade card related hobbies are BUYING stamps and dies, ORGANIZING stamps and dies and USING stamps and dies....

Cheerful Gingy Birthday

 Good evening!  I'm so glad you've visited.      My younger sister and I have a common love of gingerbread girls and boys.  I have often commented to her how I wish you'd see them year-round representing more holidays and seasons.  With that though in mind immediately after the Christmas season, I decided to make my sister a non-Christmas gingerbread card.  I started with the  Freshly Made Sketches  design #FMS364 and went from there.  I chose the colors based on the SU! DSP Cherry On Top, concentrating on the red color since red is my sister's favorite color.  In addition to what you can see in the photo, the gingy girl's body swings from side to side, as if dancing, AND there's a confetti flinger inside!     I had so much fun making this cheerful birthday card.  I hope you enjoyed it too.

Blogging Once Again - Acorny Thanksgiving

Hello again. It's been quite some time since I've created a post here without backdating it, hee hee.  I thought I'd try to get back to it.  I've not posted much ever because I don't think anyone reads it but at least I have this place to capture my thoughts and activities. My husband, dog and I are settling into our new home in Northwoods Wisconsin.  It has taken so very much longer than I ever imagined to unpack, sort, fix things up and make them work for us.  We're getting closer but there's still a lot to do.  I'm trying to squeeze creating and crafting in between house stuff and my full time job.  I'm very blessed to be able to work from home so no complaints there.  No more 40 min commute each way, every day.  Yay! I've continued crafting, just not blogging about it.  For my creative outlet, I've been primarily making handmade greeting cards.  My stash of stamps and dies and designer pattern paper has continued to grow.  😊 Si...
