Tag Making / Cupcake Tags

Hello, blog friends, I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend.

I would like to share a couple of tags I made today.

Since I made a tag as my entry to More Handmade Challenge #4 last week, I'm in love with these tags.

I made 4 tags in total.

CｆｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

 This one is a duplicate of my last tag (see HERE). 

One of my friends loves the tag, so I made another one for her.

I added "enjoy" die cut from Papertrey Ink's die called Wet Paint Die Collection.

CｆｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

The second tag is actually a Thank You tag.

CｆｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

I used the stripe stencil by Heidi Swapp, inking with sweet blush ink pad by PTI.

Then I used a Thank You stamp by PTI  to stamp on the bottom of the tag several times.

And then I stamped the flower image on a watercolor cardstock, gold embossed and watercolored it. 

I fussy cut it out and put a foam dot to pop it out on the tag.

The third & forth tag are using the same layout.

The chevron pattern on the background is a stencil by Heidi Swapp as well.

The blue ink is Hawaiian Shores ink pad by PTI.

The cute strawberry is a die by PTI called Strawberry Patch. 

It's such an adorable die set.

I cut the image using felt from my local shop.

The pear and the coordinating die are both from Wplus9.

I spritz some gold color shine to add some shimmer.

The "enjoy" die-cuts are colored with my copics.

Card Making / You Are My Sunshine (MHC#4)

Todays' last project!!!

This is a challenge I take from More Handmade Challenge. 

In this challenge, you have to combine at least 3 items that can line up as a line, just like Bingo cards.

I chose colors, stripes and sequins.

MHC#4

And here's what I came up with.

ＣｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

ＣｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

I started off with stamping my card front. I used PTI's Watercolor Wonder stamp set, inking up with Hibiscus Burst ink pad.

Then I layered up with some die cuts with foam tapes, added some gold spay, then finishing with some gold sequins. 

I love this card.

It's so vibrant and cheerful.

And I made a tag as my second entry to this month's challenge.

ＣｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

I stamped the cupcake image on a watercolor cardstock, using some pink and yellow butter ink pad as my paint.

Set aside to let dry. 

Then I cut a piece of cute pattern paper to layer on my tag.

After the cupcake image was dried, I died cut them with  the coordinating dies.

Then I used my black sharpie to outline the image.

Here's point, it's just a free hand outline, no need to be exact.

Then I sprinkled some colorful sprinkles on the cupcake. 

Isn't it cute!!

ＣｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

Supplies:

Ink: Hibiscus Burst ink pad by PTI, Butter Cup ink pad from mama elephant, Gold color shine by Heidi Swapp

Stamp: Watercolor Wonder, Love Lives Here and Sew Simple Borders by PTI, Carnival Cupcakes by mama elephant, Serendipity from Dear Lizzy by American Crafts

Die: Phrase Play #1 die and Tag Sales #3 by PTI,  Carnival Cupcakes by mama elephant

Card Making / Thank You

Here comes the third card that I would like share today.

It's a one layer card with lots of embellishments on it.

I started off with making my card base. I used a large cling stamp inking with some distress inks, spritz with some water and then stamped on my A2 card base directly. 
Then set aside to let dry. Of course, if you're impatient just like me......
Please use your heat tool to fasten the process :-)

I layered with some cut files cut by my cameo using Wilna's cut files, 
paper flowers, some die cuts by PTI. 

Then I brushed some gesso on my flower to tone down the bright red color.

Finally, I spritz some perfect pearl mixture on the card to give it some shimmer as my finishing touch.

Supplies

Paper: Stamper's Select White cardstock

Ink: Broken China, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Shabby Shutters

Stamp: Papillon by Tim Holtz

Die: Scribbles, Wet Paint by PTI

Others: flower, strawberry from my stash

---------------------------------------------

我今天有夠勤奮的

這張卡片寫完之後還有第4張卡片

這一張很簡單，用了單層卡片，上面堆疊一些小物做裝飾


首先先準備底卡
拿一片比較大的印章或背景印章，我是用Tim Holtz的Papillon印章
拍上不同顏色的復古印台
然後噴上一些水，不要太多，免得印章的圖案糊掉
然後把印章蓋在卡紙上，放到一邊等它乾

當然啦，妳要是沒耐性等它乾，那就吹乾吧



裝飾的部份我用了好些刀模和設計
首先是花朵與葉子
這是之前用卡密歐一次切好，用水彩上好色，用不完的收起來以後用


背後圓圈圈的圖案和文字是用Papertrey Ink家的刀模
圓圈圈圖案切好後用水彩上色
文字是用copic marker上色的，特意上成漸層的感覺
因為是用馬克筆上色的，可以控制漸層的效果


然後加一些紙花增加效果
紙花用gesso刷白，這樣才不會太紅跟其它的顏色搭不起來
又可以增加不同層次的顏色


最後，噴上用perfect pearl和水混合的噴瓶
給卡片增加一點閃亮亮的低調美感

Card Making / Thanks

Hello, me again. In this post I'm sharing another card I made.

In this card I used Betsy Veldman's Technique called "smooshing" . 

I saw the technique on Papertrey Ink's Monday Challenge Vedio on youtube.

Betsy is a super talented paper crafter. I love her designs for Papertrey Ink. 

I really admire her uses of color and tastes on card making.

If you don't know her, you should definitely head onto Betsy's blog.

It's a very fun technique to make your own background.

Combining with some Maggie Holme and Heidi Swapp's products, the card was done.

Supplies

Paper: Stamper's Select White cardstock from PTI, watercolor cardstock

Inks: Wild Honey, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Salty Ocean from Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Others: Ephemeras from Open Book by Maggie Holme and September Sky by Heidi Swapp, sequins, gems.

-----------------------------------------------

今天要跟大家介紹一位我超喜歡的彩印人: Betsy Veldman。

她是印章公司 Papertrey Ink 的主力設計師之一

在去年一年裡更是推出了好幾套限量的印章和刀模

我最喜歡的是她對色彩的運用

她的卡片常呈現出一種溫暖，愉悅，多采多姿的感覺

她跟另一位PTI的設計師 Danielle Flanders是我最喜歡的三位設計師之中的兩位

另一個設計師 Laura Bassen會在以後介紹

Betsy Veldman 和 Danielle Flanders兩人的卡片風格都是簡單乾淨，明亮

但是在媒材的運用上又有不同

Danielle很會運用美編紙和一些圖卡，刀模來做簡潔的卡片

她的卡片有時候甚至不需要用到印章

而Betsy則是運用印章和印台的組合搭配出很多超棒的卡片

她對刀模的運用也很有創意

也喜歡Clean and Simple卡片風格的人可以點上面的鏈接去看看喔!

忘了跟大家介紹一下這張卡片的作法了

哈哈哈哈哈哈

(別K我啦~~~)

這張卡片就是用了Betsy Veldman的水彩技法

其實也不是多新的技法

但是看她在運用的時候就會覺得很簡單，很容易上手

首先準備一張透明塑膠片，塑膠袋，壓克力塊什麼的都可以

經過幾次試驗之後，我個人比較喜歡Betsy示範的作法

拿一張跟水彩紙大小一樣或大一點的透明塑膠片

拍上幾個喜歡的復古印台，水性印台也可以

然後噴一些水在透明片上，水分不要太多，只要讓顏色充分沾濕就好

然後蓋在水彩紙上

因為是把透明片蓋在紙上，所以可以清楚看到色彩的流動

比起Tim Holtz把顏色擦在矽膠墊，然後把卡紙覆蓋上去的作法更清楚

這時要注意顏色的流動

如果水分噴得不夠多，顏色就不會流動

但是水太多的話，顏色就會融在一起變成不乾淨的顏色了

背景準備好後放一邊晾乾

係地，人客哪系某耐性，耶賽嘎吹風機，不是，熱風槍客踹吹吼搭

(這句看得懂否?)

最後選一些搭配的圖卡，紙花，亮片，水鑽......  堆上去就是了

很有美感地排列

卡片就完成啦!!!

系恩系揪甘丹耶!

Card Making / Our Happy Place (MHC#3)

The Tomb Sweeping Day holiday is coming to the end.
With strong sunshine outside and the temperature comes to a high level of 33 Celsius degree.
 Can you believe that?! It's April!


Okay, let's calm down and see some cards.
 I'm sharing a few cards that I made in the next following posts.

The first card is for March's More Handmade Challenge.
It's a photo challenge. You can use colors, sketch, photo in this challenge.

I enrolled a online card classes called Lovely Layers, Textures and Embellishments taught by Danielle Flanders on Craftsy. Danielle is one of my favorite crafters who designs for several companies that I love as well.

I just LOOOOOVE her projects and style that I had to join her class.

So this card was one of the "homework".

I used Heidi Swapp's products, washi tape, some gems to make this card.

It came out pretty! I'm not good at combining pattern papers, so it's a chance to learn how to use them.

Supplies

Paper: Stamper's select white cardstock, September Sky pattern paper by Heidi Swapp.

Others: washi tape, gems, baker's twine from my stash.

清明節連假不知不覺就來到尾聲了(蝦會? 怎麼這樣!!)

才進入四月天，天氣就熱得像是夏天一樣(但是妳別以為現在就可以把冬衣收起來)

台中已經攀上33度的高溫了(是的，溫度計沒有騙妳，妳也還沒有老花)

不知道過了端午以後是不是會熱得像烤箱(這還用說嗎? 全球暖化啊!)

讀者: ......................

請無視我內心的OS(汗)

我真的沒有要走諧星路線(請看我的認真眼)

接下來幾篇文會放一些最近做的卡片(總算要幹正事了)

..............

第一張卡片是參加三月份的魔力手作挑戰的作品

結合不同的美編紙，搭配一些簡單的小物

我很喜歡美編紙的設計，但不太會用，所以還在學怎麼搭配美編紙

最近我很喜歡的一個設計師在網路上開了卡片教學的課

課程內容就是教如何使用美編紙來做卡片

所以我就屁顛屁顛地跑去上了

(其實也不用勞動我的雙腳，繳錢就可以點滑鼠進去上了)

給大家科普一下這位我超喜歡的彩印人  Danielle Flanders

(是個美女喔!!)

她是好幾家設計公司的設計群，包括之前介紹過的 Papertrey Ink(PTI)

Elle's Studio, Gossamer Blue Kit Club

她本身也熱愛旅行和攝影

她的風格 簡單, 明亮, 乾淨

簡直就是我的菜啊!!!!(大心)

Danielle 最擅長的就是結合不同的美編紙和圖卡重新組合出新的設計

尤其是大量使用水晶紙(vellum)在卡片上

她對顏色的選擇也很棒

她的作品常會有讓我驚艷的感覺

如果也喜歡這種風格的話，建議一定要去她的部落格看看

也可以去上她的網路課程，點上面的鏈接

一定不會失望的!

好的，各位捧油，接下來還有3篇的文
