Take Time to Delight with Modern Gilding Powders

Quietfire Designs / Take Time to Delight / Modern Gilding Powders / Kim Gowdy

Hello! Kim here again with a card share for the Quietfire Creations blog

My card was inspired by the wonderful quote from this Quietfire Designs Gentle Thoughts stamp [#6270]. It’s [another] one of my favourites and can be used for every season. I stamped it on a scrap of deli paper to use on my background.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, let’s look at the hummingbird! I had this chipboard piece from Southern Ridge Trading Company in my stash. I LOVE adding Quietfire Designs' Modern Gilding Powders to chipboard! I took colours from the first and second collection to create this focal element. I used a Versamark pen to control the placement of my Gilding Powders.

So fun to see it evolve to this finished hummingbird!

I used a gel print that I had in my stash from a previous creative play date! I used some matte gel medium to adhere to a piece of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine’s Super Stock. I used the same medium to adhere my quote to the background...a technique I use often so I can play with placement of the quote before I commit to it!



I added another layer to my background with the random bits front the Quietfire Designs' Grid Background [#5895].

I finished up my card by adding it to a card base and green mat. I did this before using Glue Dots to stick down my flower and hummingbird! I know just who will love this card and can’t wait to get it in the mail!

 Yogi here today with a loooong post... with several Christmas cards using the Snowflake Circle Frame in various sizes. Love this eCut that Suzanne created and available on the Silhouette onLine Store HERE and the Heart Snowflake HERE


First Card: Take Time to Delight
I Side folded my dark blue card (5"w x 5"h). Embossed the front using Sizzix"Snowflake" set embossing folder.

eCut the snowflake frame at 4"dia on 110# white cardstock. Sponged Distress "Tumbled Glass" all over then some "Tattered Rose". Dried. Stamped the quote "Take Time to Delight" using Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.

Applied white glue on the snowflake edge and sprinkled with Stampendous "Crystal Snow" glitter. Adhered frame to card front.

Second Card: - Tri Fold - Snowflakes Are Kisses
Card made using light blue cardstock. Card is scored (left side at 2.5") and (right side at 2.75"). Card closed is 4"w x 6"h

Embossed the left flap with Sizzix "Snowflakes". Wrapped a piece of Sari ribbon (Denim) around the flap and tied a bow.

Lay the snowflake frame (4" dia) on my cutting mat and eCut. Sponged with Distress "Chipped Sapphire", dried, then applied the glue on the snowflakes and sprinkled with Stampendous "Crystal Snow" glitter. eCut a basic 2.75" circle and stamped the quote "Snowflakes are Kisses..." using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Sponged the circle with "Broken China" then with the Sapphire, sprinkled with water and dried. I found it too dark so went over it with Distress Stain "Picket Fence" Hit the edge of the circle with Deco Arts "Snow Writer" and heat activated. Adhered circle to snowflake frame and then to the front flap. eCut another frame (same 4" size) and adhered to the back on the inside to give it more body. Stamped the larger of the "Merry Christmas Snowflakes"  using Versafine "Majestic Blue" and clear embossing.

Stamped the Snowflakes "Merry" and "Christmas" "Snowflakes are Butterflies" on the inside with the blue and clear embossed.

Final touch, eCut the snowflake, inked with the Versamark and embossed with "Rainbow Sparkle" embossing powder. Adhered to card front with a glue gun to the center of the bow. Added a pearl heart.




















For this third card: Booklet - Christmas Waves a Magic Wand

I side folded my white card (5.5"w x 4.25"h). Embossed the front and the inside using Cuttlebug "Winter Frolic" set. On the inside, sponged with a dirty blue sponge.

I had left over pieces from 2 previous cards (light blue and deep blue), so trimmed them down a bit and adhered them to the front. Edged one of the flaps of the deep blue with a Versamark pad and embossed with "Queen's Gold" embossing powder.

eCut the snowflake frame - 1 at 3" dia (front) and one at 2.5" dia (inside). Stamped the quote "Christmas Waves a Magic Wand..." using Versafine "Majestic Blue" and clear embossed. Hit the snowflakes with the Versamark pad and embossed with the gold. Adhered to light blue front piece.

Next page I eCut the "Noel, inked with Versafine "Toffee" and embossed with the gold. Adhered to light blue layer. This light blue layer was then adhered to front of deep blue.

eCut the snowflake, inked with the Versamark and embossed with "Rainbow Sparkle" embossing powder. Adhered to light/deep blue layer. Added a pearl heart.

Stamped the "Merry Christmas Snowflake" using the blue and clear embossed on the smaller snowflake frame. Adhered to deep blue layer.

Blog Hop - Take Time to Delight & E-Z Dots Runner


Welcome to our blog hop with Scrapbook Adhesives, makers of quality and creative adhesives!  Thanks for dropping by.
Yogi here and here is my Spring project:
 
I cut my white cardstock (5"h x 11"w), scored and folded  similar to this diagram but changed the height to 5". Scored at the 5" mark on the left of the 11" side of my cardstock. Then scored the diagonal line.

Folded the front flap in and layered another piece of white cardstock that was decorated below, the same size as the base of the floor and adhered to the front flap (see gluing area on the above diagram "glue front here").

I love the dots from the Scrapbook Adhesive E-Z Dots runner. I applied vertical lines on my white cardstock and sprinkled with various colors of Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter (Chartreuse, Gold, Celadon & Peridot), burnished well.

Adhered the small 3D foam adhesive squares and applied Green Variegated gold leaf to them and brushed of the excess using the brush that comes in the Perfect Pearls set.

Then adhered the narrow ribbon in 2 shades of green using the Crafty Power Tape.

Embossed the right side  using Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" folder. As mentioned above adhered this layer to the front of my side easel card.


 Stamped the quote (masking of the two words "the Season") using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut with Spellbinders "Pearl Effects Card Creator", sponged Distress "Forest Moss" around the edges and adhered to card front - off set -  using the larger of the 3D foam squares.

Stamped the daffodils (Art-Kure "Daffodils") twice on white cardstock using the black. Colored with Prisma colored pencils, then fussy cut the 1st stamped image all around. Fussy cut the 2nd stamped image, but only the individual petals (one at a time), and used a large balled stylus to shape the petals on a piece of fun foam. Dipped the edge that falls in the center of the flower in some glue and adhered to 1st stamped flower. Repeated till all petals were adhered.

Used a strip of quilling paper and crimped it prior coiling and allowing the coil to loosen, adhered the end and then adhered the coil to the flower center. Adhered the flower to the card front - off set again.

Die cut the lady bugs (eCraft Designs). Colored the body with a black Zig writer, then the wings with Distress,  "Persimmon" or "Mustard Seed" and clear embossed. Adhered the wings to the body and on to the card.

Embossed the floor of the card using Couture Creations Romantique Series "Breeze" and sponged some Moss over the high points.

Calligraphed and created the eCut the word "Spring" from white cardstock including a shadow layer. Applied Distress pads direct to paper in the Mustard, Persimmon & Picked Raspberry, then added some of these colors to a craft mat. Misted the eCut with water to blend some of the color and then smeared it carefully on the wet craft mat, dried. Repeated till I got the right concentration of color. Applied Versamark all over the colored letters and clear embossed.

Ran the shadow layer through my Zyron, burnished well to remove the overspill of the glue, adhered my colored letters then sprinkled with Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter "Java Bean". Burnished and wiped off the excess. Adhered to floor of card with the small 3D foam squares.

Quietfire Flip Flops - New Digital Cutting File

These are just too fun! It's Suzanne here again today. I laughed and laughed the first day I made these.  I left tiny little ones around to see what the boys would say.  They ignored them! Can you believe it?  Okay, they never confessed to noticing them, but I wish I'd been a fly on the wall when they found them.

 
The Flip Flop cutting file contains one svg file for digital cutting, one manual cutting template for hand cutting, one low resolution jpg and our Terms of Use information.  The manual cutting template is for the "basic" flip flop which is approximately 3.5" and that is the size shown on this 5x7" card.   
 
The quote was stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Lime which is a fabulous colour!  I'm not so much a citrus gal, but I'm looking for excuses to use this.  It's just the right amount of contrast with the card colour and not too light or too dark.

 
The Summer Lemonade die was cut from Arches 140lb Hot Press Watercolour Paper (the calligrapher's staple) and coloured with Tombow markers.


 
The collection of baby flip flops measure 1.75" long each.  I suggest not making the straps from a heavy cardstock when you're making them that small.
 
This next example is cut from Bo Bunny Gabrielle paper - love it!  I used the Silhouette Adhesive Magnetic paper for the sole, so this flip flop is a magnet!  It's larger than on the previous card, measuring 5" long.  It will certainly be a conversation piece on your fridge!


 
What kind of flip flops will you make?  Funky?  High fashion?  Trendy?  Will you write love messages on them?  Will you tuck them into your little ones' lunch boxes?  Will you wear them on your fingers and dance around the house? (we want video proof of that!)
Happy Flip Flopping!
Suzanne
