Some People Come into - Heart Easel card

Easel open

It's me again... Yogi - BIG GRIN using another of the newest Summer 2012 rubber companion stamps. Love them

I drew and cut out some fun foam in the shape of bare feet and stamped onto my white cardstock using Perfect Medium and clear embossing. Sprayed Dylusions red spray color and a mini mister mixed with Distress "Barn Door", Perfect Pearls Gold and water. Dried. Ironed the clear embossing from feet between clean newsprint. Stamped the quote "Some people come into..." with Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Cut out my heart shape using a Spellbinders heart as a guide and enlarging it slightly. Sponged some "Aged Mahogany" and "Walnut Stain" around the edges, then outlined with a Krylon gold leafing pen.

Stamped the inside sentiment with the black. Masked it with some tape. Placed my Cuttlebug Heart Block embossing folder where I wanted it, taped my card to it, then inked up the other part of the embossing folder with Barn Door, misted lightly with water, and pressed it closed, using my rubber mallet to emboss the design in the areas I wanted.

Tied some red raffia on the red heart shaped button, then adhered it to the card as my stopper.

Snowflakes are the Fairydust...

Today, I've created a simple card using the "Snowflakes are the Fairydust" stamp. This was an easy card to put together! With the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holiday season, getting your cards finished on time is a hard thing to do. Using gorgeous calligraphy sentiment stamps and pairing it with pretty holiday paper is a sure way to get them done quickly! Make sure you check out the entire line of stamps from Quietfire Design for the holiday season!

Trick or Treat - Card

Hi there, it's Suzanne today!

Well, I didn't really plan to start Halloween yet, but the days are flying by and I've been wanting to use these new Spellbinder's Tombstones!  So here they are.

 I decided to use the black cardblanks.  (They come with black envelopes, too!)

I stamped Trick or Treat on the paper using Versafine Onyx Black, then stamped the bat using Archival Vermillion, let dry, then die cut the tombstone.  I really wanted to use the new paper and chose the skelton page to accompany the tombstone.  The Fleur de Lis Rectangles seemed like the most "gothic" die I had (I'm sure I'll think of something else tomorrow....), so that was cut from black cardstock.  I really couldn't decide which paper to use for the background.  Bats.Spiders.Bats.Spiders.....so I used them both, with each decorated paper covering half the card.  It all just looked too nice and neat, so it was time to grunge it up.  Time to tear some paper!

I didn't think you could ever have too much black.  But this was looking pretty plain. I used a white Gel Extreme to outline the tombstone.  (I resisted making it look like a little birdie had been sitting on it....) And a little blood red garden foliage seemed to perk it right up!

All the decorated papers where shaded at the edge with Distress Black Soot using the Foam Blending Tool.  And the skeleton got a waxed linen thread bow....  And a leaf.  ;-)

Thanks for looking!  Suzanne

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi Everyone! This is Holly and I have a birthday card for you today. Can we have too many birthday cards? I don't think so. This one has a bit of a distressed look with a clean and simple finish.

I began by embossing white card stock with the Debonair Edges folder. I clear embossed the raised design using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder, then cut along the outside edge of the embossing to create the square. I inked up Happy Birthday first with Versamark ink, then with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, stamped it in the center square and clear embossed. You can emboss distress inks alone but I wanted total coverage with the embossing powder, so added in the Versamark ink.

I sponged on more Distress Inks- Shabby Shutters, Victorian Velvet and Brushed Corduroy- covering all the card stock that wasn't clear embossed. A quick wipe with a tissue removed any ink from the embossing, allowing it to 'pop'. The square was then attached to the white card base and a few bits of bling were added. Easy peasy!

I love this Happy Birthday stamp and all the ones that go with it. I hope you do too.

Thank you for looking at my project today.

 

 

 

The True Harvest Card

Hi Y’all, Monica here today.  If you haven’t heard, Quietfire Design has a bunch of new stamps out.   I used my favorite for today’s card. 

 

To create the backgrounds for this card I used Distress ReInkers (Squeezed Lemonade, Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers, Worn Lipstick)and Mini Misters.  Perfect Pearls was added to Worn Lipstick for a bit of shimmer.  On the base card and quote layer I used the Worn Lipstick mixture sparingly.  For the middle layer I used it for the main color and added Shaded Lilac and Peacock Feathers on top.  Distress Stickles Rock Candy, was rubbed around edging of the middle layer.  The layers were added using pop dots for dimension.  I love this quote so kept the card simple to showcase the stamp.  Thanks for looking.

Happy Family Day Card

Happy Friday Every! Thank you for stopping by my very first blog post here at the Quietfire Creations Blog. A special thanks to Suzanne the mind behind these amazing stamp. This birthday card shown above was created with one of the new stamp sets that Quietfire has just released, Happy Family Days Stamp Set #5909, just look at those curvy swirls and did you notice this stamp set matches Spellbinders S4-161 Labels One, you cam also find all of your Spellbinders die templates right here too at Quietfire.

I stamped the Family Days Stamp Set using the Happy Birthday sentiment on my My Minds Eye Indie Chic pattern paper, then die cut it using the Spellbinders Label One. Once it was cut and embossed I mounted it on a piece of Want2Scraps Label One Nestaboard, and inked the edges. I decided to embellish my birthday card with some simple hand stitching, everyone knows I love to sew on just about every project I create so this one was no exception! I used some DMC Floss and created my own stitching pattern and there you have it, a birthday card. So I hope you have enjoyed my first post here and remember to check out all of the amazing stamps at Quietfire Designs and be prepared you are going to want them all, I know I do. Until next time, Crafty Hugs, Terre!

A Gift for A Good Friend!

Good morning!  Today it’s my turn to post the Quietfire Creations.  Please bear with me as I’m not familiar with Blogger and I’ll be learning as we go along.

For my project for today’s post, I made a wall hanging using Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary Collection and Spellbinders die templates.   The sentiment I chose to work with, Some People Come Into Our Lives, makes me think of a good friends, so I thought this might make a nice gift for a friend.

The frame was made with Grand Labels Eleven and the sentiment was die cut/embossed from watercolor paper with Labels One.  The flowers were made with Blossom Five and the smaller flowers from Bitty Blossoms.

The leaves were die cut/embossed from Foliage and Foliage Two.

That’s all for me today.  Thanks for stopping by!
