Card Making / Monochromatic Stamping using Atlenew Stamps

Hello crafty friends, It's been sooooooo HOT in Taiwan recently. We got 35-37 degree Celsius everyday in these past two weeks.  Anyway, thanks to the greatest invention last century -- AIR CONDITIONERS.  I can't live without it. XD.  

I'd like to share a couple of cards I made following a great tutorial video made by Yana Smakula. You can see the video here. I just love how those card came out, so beautiful.

Supplies:

Stamp: Beautiful Day from Altenew, Garden Gild and Wet Paint from Papertrey Ink
Inks: Sweet Blush, Hibscus Burst, Rasberry Fizz, Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise from PTI; Versa Mark Ink; Bundle Sage, Sahbby Shutter, Cracked Pistachio from Distressed Ink by Tim Holtz; Unicorn pigment ink from Hero Arts
Others: gold embossing powder from Hero Arts, Liquid Platinum embossing powder from Ranger; scallop rectangle die  from Mama Elephant




*********************************************************************************
天氣熱得人都懶洋洋的，好不容易抓了個空檔做了幾張卡片。這幾張卡片是照著我最喜歡的彩印人之一 Yana Smakula 的教學影片做的，有興趣的人可以點鏈接去看看。

我用的花草印章是來自Altenew的Beautiful Day. 我非常喜歡這組印章，最近的幾個作品幾乎都是用了這個印章組做的，除了Beautifl Day之外，它家最有名的印章應該就是玫瑰印章了，各種美麗還有搭配的刀模可以使用，非常方便。我通常是一次蓋滿整張卡紙，用刀模切下來當作配件使用，不管是做卡片還是相片美編，甚至是flip books 和物品改造都很好用。

字章是來自我的愛牌 Papertrey Ink家的印章刀模組，叫做Garden Gild. 這一個套組內含了印章, 刀模, 美編紙非常非常划算，是CP值很高的迷你套組，如果想入手Papertrey Ink家的東西的話，這一組超值推薦! 

(這絕不是勸敗來著! 囧)

下面幾張照片就是用Garden Gild印章組做的卡片。

Project Share / My first flipbook (小書)

Flip books and pocket letters are very trendy right now. As both of them are alternative forms of snail mail, I would like to participate in it, though I don't have any penpal to sent for now. XD

After researching some popular posts on Youtube and Instagram, I got a few points to make my version of flip book. I also followed Tmika's tutorial(scrapdaworld) using envelopes to make the base.




I used a lot of die-cuts, ephemera, shapes, cut-outs, pattern paper, tags, washi tapes to decorate the flip book. Oh, I also made myself a tassel from floss! Lots of FUN!

The "LOVE" was cut from Maggie Holmes's paper(Shine collection), added some watercolor and foam tape to pop them out.

The brown paper pocket was made out of a Kraft envelope, put some stickers and washi.

*************************************************************

不知道大家有沒有注意到最近國外很風行的手作--pocket letters 和 flipbooks。這兩種都是snail mail的延伸，所謂的snail mail在字意上叫蝸牛郵件，顧名思義是指非電子郵件，而是利用傳統的書寫方式貼上郵票拿到郵局去寄的郵件，簡單來說是一種反璞歸真，回歸文字與紙筆，利用遞送的距離與等待的時間，讓文字的溫度重新串聯情感的方式，其實就像是以前學生時代寫信交筆友那樣。而pocket letters 和flipbooks是由此變化而來的，利用類似棒球收集卡透明袋，或用紙張/信封作成小書(像相本)，內容除了個人的資料(如姓名，興趣嗜好)之外，放一些小東西送給筆友。我之前也做過pocket letters，改天再放上來跟大家分享。

這本flipbook是看了Youtube上一個彩印人(Tmika)的教學影片後做的，她是利用四個信封做成小書，然後貼上美編紙之後再開始裝飾小書，我在做封面的時候書背處貼上紙蕾絲然後用拼貼膠加強，還加了緞帶這樣就可以綁起來。

左手邊那個粉橘色的流蘇是利用繡線自己做的，流蘇這個元素現在在美編界也很風行，不只相簿美編看得到，連手帳也能看到流蘇的蹤跡。我用迴紋針夾在封面，收到這本小書的人還可以把它拆下來再利用。其他幾頁就用一些小卡，圖卡，刀模，和紙膠帶來裝飾，我還利用信封和格拉新紙做了小紙袋貼在裡面，然後塞了一些小卡和貼紙送人。雖然沒幾頁，但是著實花了不少時間，不過真的很有趣，我打算再做幾本來玩。

除了這次用信封來做小書之外，還有另一種更簡單的方式來製作手翻書的本體，那就是用三張雙面美編紙(或是六張單面美編紙(背貼背))，以和紙膠帶黏貼串聯起來，有興趣的人也可以搜尋一下相關貼文和影片，動手作作看喔！

PS: flipbooks挺難翻譯成中文，如果有人有更貼切或更正式的稱呼請跟我說喔

Card Making / Chocolate Love for MHC#15 魔力手作挑戰#15

    Hello! Happy Wednesday.  We finally got lovely sunshine after a coupe of weeks of cold weather and rain. As spring is in the air, it couldn't be better to see sunshine out there.  Today I have a card to share with you. This month, More Handmade Challenge asks participants to make projects with hot cocoa. You can use the shape, the color or the image of  hot cocoa.

    As a big fan of mint chocolate, I know I have to use this color combo on my project. I think it's a good idea to bring some fresh and bright colors in this season. To start off, I  used a triangle shape stencil with Crack Pistachio Distress Ink, and then used Hot Fudge Hybrid Ink from MFT to stamp my sentiments.  I also stamped some splattered images from Hero Arts with a yellow dye ink.

    After finishing my background paper, I died cut a piece of yellow pattern paper with MFT's wonky stitched rectanle die, letters(from PTI) and a polaroid frame(from Maggie Holmes). I also stamped a couple of cute images on a white cardstock, colored with my watercolor, and then fussy cut them out.  After all decorative accents were ready, all I needed to do is to put them together.

*******************************************************************************************************

    下了幾個星期的雨，太陽終於露臉了！遲來的春天的氣息，一掃之前的潮濕與陰冷。在寒冷的溫度之下，來杯熱巧克力暖暖身子簡直不要太幸福！

    這個月的魔力手作挑戰的主題是熱可可。一想到熱可可就是巧克力做的，我決定把最愛的薄荷巧克力拿來當作靈感，決定了主色之後，接下來就是找一些搭配的色系和圖案來用。在構思這張卡片的時候其實前前後後搭配了好幾種構圖，因為自製的背景底紙比較複雜，最後決定用比較簡單的圖案來搭配。

    介紹一下這次自製的美編紙，我先用型板刷了薄荷綠的顏色，刷的時候只要這裡一點顏色，那裡一點顏色就好，不用把整張卡紙都刷滿，然後用MFT的松露巧克力印台來蓋所有的字章。

    在蓋的時候，大字章是我的主要重點，所以沾了印台就直接蓋在卡紙上，然後小的長條型字章則是蓋過一次之後直接蓋第二次，讓兩種深淺的咖啡色蓋滿卡紙，又不會因為顏色太重而讓人眼花撩亂。最後我還蓋了一些噴濺的圖案，當然如果你沒有這種印章，直接拿把刷子沾顏料灑一些在卡紙上也可以，我用印章蓋是因為這樣比較好控制。

    由於美編紙已經很花俏了，所以搭配的圖案或圖卡要盡量選用同一個色調的，重點突出的顏色不必很大片，有畫龍點睛的效果就好，這樣才能讓卡片看起來平衡又有抓人眼球的地方。

    FB的粉絲頁上有更多其他手作人的精彩作品，如果你/妳也喜歡手作，歡迎加入魔力手作挑戰，還有彩印在台灣的粉絲社團，一起分享手作和採印的樂趣。

Card Making / Mint Flowers for MHC#14

    I love mint and watercolor. It's one of my favorite colors and techniques used on card making. Sometimes when I have free time, I love to play with my watercolor tools. I made this background paper a while ago, but had no idea what I'm gonna do with it, until I came across with More Handmade Challenge #14.

    In this challenge we had to use any green hues as the main theme in cards, scrapbook layouts, mixed media projects and etc. I stamped the floral images with versa mark ink and white embossed them on the watercolored background paper. And then I colored the images again with color pencils to make the embossed images popped out. Finishing with a sentiment and some clear sequins. 

    I just love how the lower florals look like floating on "water".

************************************************************

我很喜歡薄荷綠的顏色，在這一次的魔力手作挑戰#14裏剛好要以綠色為發想，

因此把之前做好放著沒機會用的水彩背景紙拿來用。

挑選的這組花卉章是來自Altenew這間公司，相信玩彩印的人應該對它不陌生。

印章沾滿浮水印台後蓋在水彩背景紙上，然後用白色凸粉燙凸

再用油性鉛筆描繪燙凸的圖案，讓顏色跳出來

最後蓋上字句章，再點綴一些亮片就完成了

Ink: versa mark, onyx black by versa fine

Others: watercolor, oil pencils, sequins, white embossing powder by Simon Says Stamps

Card Making / Christmas Cards

    Well, I know it's been quite a while since my last post. With Christmas is around the corner, I made a couple of Christmas cards, though we don't celebrate Christmas in Taiwan. It's a good excuse to make some season's greeting projects.

The first card was inspired by a project I saw from danipeuss. I punched out 3 stars from a red pattern paper, and layered it with a tiny polka dot pattern paper, cut in the shape of a banner.

This card is very clean and simple.

I put some glossy accent on the berries to add some glow.

I like red. It's so holiday-y and bright and cheer. It matches Christmas so well. But mint is one of my favorite colors, and I want to use the color on my card but keep it to the holiday celebration. So here's what I came up with.

Peace Joy Love Card designed by Summer Yen

My second card was started off with a background paper. I used mint watercolor on a watercolor paper, I did a little bit ombre effect, set aside to let dry. 

Since my watercolor was on my desk, I cut a piece of cardstock, stamped Peace, Joy, Love with VersaMark ink and white embossed it. And then I brushed red watercolor on the stamped greeting.

After the background paper was dry, I stamped randomly with some Christmas trees using Cozy Christmas stamp set from Ellen Hutson with VersaMark ink. White embossed. I also stamped it with white pigment ink to fill in the spaces in between.

I died cut 3 little houses with the matching dies from Cozy Christmas by Ellen Hutson.  Put some snow-tex and dusted with glitter. I also died cut 2 deer from a gold cardstock. And then assembled my card.

  

HO HO HO Card designed by Summer Yen

When I saw this Santa sticker, I knew I have to made a card with that adorable image! And when I made my third card, I thought why not put red and mint and gold together! 

I wrote HO HO HO with red watercolor onto a piece of watercolor cardstock. And then I stuck the Santa and presents sticker onto a piece of white crafting foam, fussy cut them out.

 I then stamped Merry from Very Merry stamp set by Neat and Tangled, with VersaMark ink and used sticky embossing powder. I heat embossed the image and sprinkled with gold glitter by Heidi Swapp.

The sticky embossing powder was not working as well as I thought, so I used a glue pen to fill in the gaps where needed so that the glitter can stay properly.

And then I fussy cut the word out. 

I have to admit that it was the most difficult part of this card. XD

Finally, I used mint stripe washi tape and gold star washi to decorate the card. Finishing with some gold sequins.

Hope you like these cards!

**********************************************************

    再過幾天就是聖誕節，雖然這個節日在台灣是商人炒作的噱頭，不過國外早在感恩節前就到處洋溢的過節的氣氛，剛好魔力手作挑戰這一次的主題也是聖誕節，應應景地做了幾張聖誕卡。

    第一張卡片是從網路上一個禮物包裝得來的靈感，重點是整張卡片留白的面積要夠多，再點綴幾個大大小小的金色星星。

    第二張卡片的背景紙是自製的，因為我很喜歡薄荷綠這個顏色，在做這張卡片時就決定要用這個顏色。先用水彩做好底色，刻意在底部的地方加重顏色作出漸層的效果，等顏色乾了之後再用白色油性印台蓋上聖誕樹的章，但是覺得效果不夠明顯，於是灑上白色燙凸粉燙凸，忽遠忽近的效果就出來了。底紙做好之後，妝飾用刀模切出房子和麋鹿。中間的Peace Joy Love 用紅色水彩刷色，爲整張卡片增添一點節慶的氛圍。

    最後一張卡片完全是衝著溜冰的聖誕老人去的！初看到這張貼紙時覺得好cute，實在是太喜歡了所以決定要把他放在卡片裏。為了搭配可愛的貼紙，背景也是拿了畫筆沾了紅色水彩自己手寫HO HO HO。然後拿merry印章蓋印，灑上黏性凸粉燙凸後，快速灑上粗顆粒的亮粉。不過不知道是粗顆粒的亮粉不容易黏，還是黏性禿粉的效果不佳，我還是拿出膠水補了補才又灑亮粉。這張卡片最困難的地方就是------>拿剪刀把merry剪出形狀來........   依賴刀模慣了，再回歸原始的手工剪花樣果然是需要練習的。最後拿了條紋和星星的和紙膠帶妝飾底紙就完成啦。

Card making / A couple of cards to share

    Hello crafty friends, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I've been quite busy these days, but I finally got some time to make cards! Yay! 

    I have a couple of cards to share today. I love surfing on the internet to see talented crafters' projects and learn some tricks and tips or great ideas from them. I cased some cards that really inspired me with a little bit twist. You can see those cards here, here and here. 

    For the first card, I used a mama elephant stamp set called Free Style Florals. I stamped some flowers and leaves on a white cardstock, did some copic coloring, and then fussy cut them out. I made my own background pattern paper with a  "thankful" image from Studio Calico using Fog dye ink from Simon Says Stamp. And then I assembled my flowers and leaves with some glue and pop dots. Finished off my card with some gold sequins.

A Thankful Heart Is A Happy Heart.

 For the second card, I started off with stamping tomato image randomly using Berry Sorbet and New Leaf ink pads from PTI.  And then stamped some sentiments using Enchanted Evening and True Black ink from PTI as well. I rounded my card corner with my WRMK corner chomper, glued the card panel with an angle onto my cardbase. I then stamped a sentiment and withe embossed it on a black cardstock, and cut it off. Finishing off this card with Rock Candy stickle from Ranger. 

You Got This Smile!

Awesome Star
MFT, WRMK, PTI, Studio Calico

    

   For the last one, I blended in Aqua Mist, Spring Rain ink pad with Tim Holtz mini blending tool. Die cut the panel with the stitched frame from MFT Blueprint 21#. And then I dry embossed the card front with a WRMK embossing folder.  Die cut some starts with MFT Stitched Stars die from pattern paper and vellum cardstock. I also cut "AWESOME" from a black cardstock using a Studio Calico die. I put everything together on my embossed card front, embellished with a blue button and some white sequins.





I hope you like my sharing today.

XOXO 

Summer

*****************************************************************************

    最近趁著放假的空檔做了幾張卡片，製作的靈感來自幾個很喜歡的作品，有興趣的人可以去看看這幾個作品。 here, here and here.

    第1張卡片我選了Yana 的作品。Yana是一個非常棒的彩印人，同時身兼好幾個品牌的設計團隊，像是大家熟悉的Hero Arts, Spellbinders, Simon Says Stamps 及Altenew等。她的用色很摩登，非常具有現代感，我常覺得歐洲的彩印人使用的配色很有特色，相比起美國的彩印人來說，用色通常偏向大膽，鮮豔，具有強烈的現代感的配色; 我個人很喜歡這種配色，去年剛接觸到Yana的作品時簡直太開心了。說到配色的大膽，同樣是喜歡使用黑色的Amy Tangerine，她的作品裡的黑色是溫柔的，有童趣的感覺，而我非常欣賞的另一位歐洲彩印人Nanant的作品呈現的黑色便非常有強烈的視覺衝擊，但又不具攻擊性，很有畫龍點睛的效果   (歪樓了......囧)

   我用了mama elephant的印章蓋了花朵和樹葉，用copic markers上色，然後剪下來備用 (係地，人客妳沒看錯，用剪刀剪下來的，這組印章有搭配的刀模，但我沒買到......囧，只好回歸原始的手工剪)。選個字章用Simom最淺的灰色 fog印台蓋滿整張卡紙，然後把剛才剪下來的花草樹葉拼貼在卡紙上，再貼到底紙上就完成了。

    第2張卡片是看了這個作品之後依樣畫葫蘆case了一張卡片。我用了Wplu9同系列的番茄印章蓋在卡紙上，然後一樣挑了幾個字章直接蓋在番茄上，然後貼到A2尺寸的卡紙上就好了。很簡單的設計，但是非常漂亮! 這張卡片的重點是自製的背景紙要用實心的印章(Peggy老師說咱們要有文化一點，這種實心的印章叫做陰刻章)，然後蓋在上面的字章不要太複雜，我試了幾種顏色之後，個人覺得字章用黑色的印台來蓋效果最好。 PS: 我case的這張卡片還有另一個版本，也非常漂亮喔!

    最後一張卡片是從這張卡片得來的靈感。我挑了兩種藍色用海綿刷棒刷色，然後用MFT的購圖小物21#裏的長方形縫線刀模切出逢線邊框，再用WRMK的凹凸版壓出山形紋路。用MFT的星形縫線刀模切美編紙和水晶卡，再用Studio Calico的字形刀模切黑色的卡紙，最後把剛切好的小物拼拼湊湊，再點綴幾個亮片，完成!

    

    題外話，不知道大家有沒有這種經驗啊，很多彩印產品和技法都是從國外來的，在紀錄卡片製作過程的時候總會碰上不知道如何翻譯和稱呼的情況，搞得po個文還要到處去翻找有進這些產品的國內一些商家的平台，免得產生雞同鴨講不知所云的烏龍，難怪我的po文老是難產啊~~~~~~~

Card Making / MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 238

I made a shaker card today for My Favorite Things' blog challenge.

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 238

Let's Party!

    To start off, I died cut my card front by MFT Blueprints 21#.  I then used the long stars stamp from PTI's Around and About stamp set to make my card base. I banded the stamp with a curve and inked with couples of inks: Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Harvest Gold, and Melon Berry.

And then I died cut my stamped cardstock with MFT Peek-a-boo Circle Windows.  I also cut a piece of fun foam to raise my card so that it added some thickness to my sequins.  After pouring some sequins and beads, I closed my window with a piece of pattern paper from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection for American Craft.

Then I stamped a couple of images on another piece of white cardstock using Studio Calico stamp set, Just for you stamp set by Neat and Tangled, and then I fussy cut them out.  I put some foam dots to raise the cat and the yellow balloon. I glued the card front to a A2 size Kraft cardstock.

Isn't it cut? I love the cheerful colors and images.

XXOO

Summer

Supplies:

Stamp: Around and About from PTI, Birthday by Lizzie Mackay for Studio Calico, Just for you from Neat and Tangled.

Inks: Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Harvest Gold, and Melon Berry from PTI; Sunshine, Lemongrass, Fresh Mint from mama elephant; Archival Ink Jet Black from Ranger.

Cardstock: Stamper's select White cardstock, Kraft cardstock from my local shop.

Dies: Blueprints 21#, Peek-a-boo Circle window all from MFT

**********************************************************************

參加了這個星期的MFT構圖挑戰

剛好這兩天在做魔力手作挑戰的星星卡，就以星星為背景做了一張搖搖卡

首先將PIT的長條形星星印章彎出一些弧度貼在水晶塊上，然後挑幾個顏色可愛的印台蓋幾條星星，有點像派對上裝飾用的花環

然後用MFT的刀模切出圓形的缺口，我切了一片手工藝用的泡棉卡貼在卡紙後面

這樣等一下放亮片和珠珠的時候就不會貼在卡片上面

我發現用手工藝泡棉比用雙面泡棉好用多了

第一，省! 

(哈哈~ 手作這個坑可是很燒錢的，要想盡辦法省，感謝珍妮佛小姐的巧思)

第二，用泡棉的話不用擔心亮片和珠珠黏在雙面膠上面

我之前做搖搖卡時常發生這個問題，用了泡棉之後珠珠和亮片一個個都很獨立

第三，大面積的泡棉可以支撐整張卡面，不會出現沒有雙面泡棉的地方會凹下去的情況

等搖搖卡做好後，剩下的就是裝飾啦

我用Studio Calico和Neat and Tangled的印章蓋了貓咪和氣球

用剪刀剪下來後貼在卡片上面

是不是很有party的fu啊!

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.

CｆｒａｆｔｉｎｇＦｕｎ　Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

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!!
