Party On! Puppy Card by Larissa Heskett

80's Puppy Birthday Card!

Larissa here today to share a Bright and Happy Birthday Card FULL of personality!! I LOVE these NEW products, and I hope I INSPIRE you to create some Birthday Cards for some SPECIAL recipients!!

This card features:
Frames & Flags Die Set
Music Notes Stencil
Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set
Puppy's Mix Tape Die Set
Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts
Party On! Stamp Set

I started by foiling the NEW Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts using some Therm O Web Deco Foil in Mystic Rainbow!! TIP: SAVE that negative foil sheet for another project!! Then I cut the foiled sheet down to create the thin panel!

 

Next, I created my card panel by inking with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink in the center of the panel! Then I used the NEW Music Notes Stencil to ink with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink! I applied some of the ink darker to have some of the music notes POP for more contrast! I adhered the thin foiled sheet panel to the left-hand side of the card panel and added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters! I sat the panel aside to dry!!

I stamped and embossed the NEW Puppy's Mix Tape image using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I colored the image with Copic Markers!

Purple: V00, V06 & V15   

Pink: RV00, RV52 & RV55


Grey: N0, N3 & N6      

Turquoise: BG10, BG45 & BG49  

   


Then I die cut the Image out using the coordinating NEW Puppy's Mix Tape Die Set!

I wanted the image to "DANCE" so I adhered an action wobbles pop-up spring from Pear Blossom Press and the image wobbles back-n-forth like he's DANCING to the Beat! SQUEAL!! It's such a FUN interaction for the recipient!! 

Next, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the NEW Party On! Stamp Set using WoW Clear Embossing Ink and embossed with WoW Bright White Embossing Powder onto some turquoise cardstock!! Then I die cut the sentiment out using the banner die from the Frames & Flags Die Set! Then I adhered the banner underneath the image with some foam tape for some dimension!!

I finished off the design with some iridescent rhinestones and I LOVE the way they sparkle and shine tying in the shimmer and shine of the foiled panel!! 
I hope I've INSPIRED you today on how you can combine SEVERAL of the NEW Products together to create some one of a kind SPECIAL Birthday Cards!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today! 
I hope you have a FABULOUS Weekend!

Gnarly Birthday Card by Jen

Howling Hits! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a gnarly birthday card that features our newest Toner Card Fronts and our adorable puppy with the mix tape!

This card uses the following products:

Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set

Puppy's Mix Tape Die Set

Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts

Solid Black Toner Card Fronts

Party On! Stamp Set

Card Layout 7 Die

Banner Duo Die Set

I started out by stamping and coloring the cute pup from the Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set. I used watercolor markers to create a gray pup and then used blue and purple for the cassette. I added the "Howling Hits!" as the title of the tape. The coordinating Puppy's Mix Tape Die Set has an extra die that fits right over the cassette image so that you can add the label on as a layer! I love this because it makes it look like you put a sticker on the cassette! 

Once the image was done I created the card. I  chose toner sheet with the cassette pattern from the Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts. I added blue foil over the top and applied it with my minc laminator. I saved the leftover piece of foil and layered that over a black toner sheet from our Solid Black Toner Card Fronts. Then I took both of the foiled pieces and cut them out using our Card Layout 7 Die. I used the piece created with the solid black for the frame. Then I used the pieces that were created with the original toner sheet for the top and bottom panels and glued them to a gray card base. 

Next I stamped the "hope your birthday is" onto a purple banner. Then I used the Card Layout 7 Die with black cardstock for the center window. I added the words "totally gnarly" onto the center piece, embossed in white to finish the greeting. 

The dog holding the cassette fit perfectly along the bottom below the birthday greeting. 

I already sent this fun birthday card out to a friend! I she will think it's pretty gnarly! 

Get the Most out of your Foil! ATC Cards by Diane Morales

Adorable ATC Mix Tapes! 

Today are sharing an adorable ATC (artist trading cards) by Diane!

These projects us the following products:

Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts

Solid Black Toner Card Fronts

Newton's Mix Tape Stamp Set
Newton's Mix Tape Die Set
Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set
Puppy's Mix Tape Die Set

Diane created two fun foiled backgrounds for her cards using the cassette tape toner sheet from our Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts along with our Solid Black Toner Card Fronts. 

Here's how to create two patterns from one sheet of foil:

1.  Apply colored foil onto the printed toner sheet using a heat laminator or other heat transfer machine. After applying heat, peel off the foil. The foil adheres to the black toner pattern (shown below on the left) and you will also have the reverse image on the piece of foil that you peeled off (shown below on the right).
   
   
   
   
2. Take the reverse or "spent" foil sheet and layer it over a piece of black toner from our Solid Black Toner Card Fronts. Run these two pieces through your heat transfer machine. Since the whole black sheet is toner the foil leftover foil will stick to the whole sheet and you will have the reverse image, this time on black where the toner shows through (see image below on right).

This is such a great way to get the most out of your supplies! Plus, you have two amazing shiny backgrounds to use! 

Diane used her backgrounds to make little Artist Trading cards. For the first card she used the original toner card front from the Retro Mix Toner Card Front pack for her background. Then she stamped and colored that cute kitty with the giant cassette tape from the Newton's Mix Tape Stamp Set along with some music notes. She cut all the images out and also cut out a label to go onto the tape (the extra label die is included with the coordinating die set). She used the title "Meowy Mix." So cute! 

For her second version she used the pattern that was created using the leftover foil piece with our Solid Black Toner Card Fronts. Then she stamped and colored the pup from our Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set. This time she used the fun label title of "woof Jams." She used the coordinating label die cut then cut a  flag shape out of one side using a scissor. Such a RAD idea! 

We hope you enjoyed seeing these cute little cards today and learning how to create using both pieces of foil!

Totally Rad Birthday Card by Samantha Mann

Have a RAD birthday!

Today we are sharing a super RAD birthday card by Samantha using some of our new 80's inspired products!

This card features:

Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts

Party On! Stamp Set

Card Layout7 Die 

Samantha created a gorgeous rainbow of geometric shapes using the toner printed sheet from our Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts with a heat laminator and a piece of rainbow foil! She then added inks over the top, fading from dark blue to light blue. 

She next cut out the black frame with the fun angles using our Card Layout7 Die and layered that over the foiled background panel. 

To create the RAD birthday message she stamped words from the Party On! Stamp Set onto black cardstock and embossed them in white. Then she cut them out into little rectangles and layered them onto her card. A few white dot embellishments add the finishing touch! 

This retro themed card is sure to send a birthday smile!
