Notes - The Music In My Heart - Split Easel

 Yogi here today and I'm using another of the newest dies from Suzanne.

I'm using a die "Notes" 3pce set  from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And I'm using a rubber stamp quote from Quietfire Design ("The Music In My Heart...")  


Cut, scored and folded my white cardstock (see diagram at left). Adhere the 2 side panels to floor. Adhered music scrapbook paper (Design Originals "Musical Notes") leaving a small border around each..

Stamped the violin player (LaBlanche "Composer w/Violin") using Versafine Black Onyx on white cardstock. Fussy cut and adhered to front.

Die cut the word and notes from black cardstock and adhered to front.

On the floor: 

Cut a layer of black cardstock and then some of the note paper and adhered both to floor.

Stamped the quote onto white cardstock using the black and clear embossing. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Rectangles" die set. Used a black bullet tipped marker for the edge. Adhered to floor. Adhered a musical note. 

The Music in My Heart...

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here sharing a card using the Quietfire Design stamp The Music in my Heart.

For the card I chose a gold inkpad to match the die-cut.
Just some simple layering (using 3D foam squares for a 3D effect), coordinating colors a double bow and some sparkle and...voila....an elegant card!

Tip: if you have a hard time making a double bow, simply make two single bows and glue them together :-)

Thanks for stopping by
and wishng you a lovely day.

Hugs from Holland,
Yvonne

Listen to the Music

There are lots of brand new stamps in the Quietfire Design store this month and wow are they ever t beautiful.  Today i decided to pick a few of them with music themes and create a few cards to share.

First up is a card i did using the brand new release stamp called "Moments of Silence".  I wanted to make something really special with this so i shopped around in my stash and found some pretty Bo Bunny papers that i just got and a chipboard frame from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and set to work.

So first i stamped my image on vellum and embossed it with clear embossing powder and let it cool.

Then i took my frame and inked it with Versafine ink so it was super black and then i added clear embossing powder and heated it until it was beautiful and shiny like the stamped image I did.

To assemble my card i cut a pice of pink the size of the frame and glued it to the back with the vellum stamped image on top.  Then i cut pieces of coordinating paper to mat the frame and glued them together like you see above.  And lastly i attached all of it to a white card that i trimmed to fit.

This was a really fun and super easy card to make and the chipboard frame really sets the sentiment off in the middle of the card.

Here is a link so that you can order one of these gorgeous stamps.... here

And i had time for another quick card with the new "Music in my heart" stamp.  This one i kept really simple too and stamped my sentiment on paper first and then cut it out with a circle die so that it was centered.  Then i created a basic card and tied pretty black bias ribbon around it and added the sentiment over it.  All it needed was a pretty bow and a rhinestone.  And it's ready to mail out.

Thank you so much for stopping and i hope you are having a fun summer and get in a little time for crafting... take care and enjoy your week.

The Music in my heart...

Hello Crafty Friends!  Did you all enjoy the Quietfire Quick FX stencil blog hop?  It was a great week here at Quietfire Creations as we were able to share projects using Quietfire Designs' Stencils along with other Quietfire Design products...such as the newly released stamps.  Oh- there are so many delicious new stamps released!  The stamp I used today is one of the new releases: The music in my heart.  I cannot help but think of my mom after reading this stamp as she used to love to sing and play a guitar.  Even though I cannot hear her music anymore, I have the fondest memories of her music.  The stamp would be perfect on a scrapbook page of her.  Also, it would be great on a card to send to a friend to let them know you are thinking of them or a happy moment shared together.  The project I am sharing today is a card for a friend.

Instructions:

• A square tent fold card was created using ivory paper.  
• Two layers of Tim Holtz paper was cut smaller than the card base and adhered as shown.  
• Tim Holtz music patterned paper was torn, Distress Paint (Picket Fence) was applied and dried.  It was adhered to the card base.
• A canvas doily was glued to the base.  
• The quote was stamped onto scrap patterned paper using Jet Black Archival Ink.  
• Tim Holtz' flowers (from Botanical Layers) was adhered to the sentiment and the scrap paper was fussy cut around the flowers.  
• Double faced foam tape was used to secure it onto the canvas doily.  
• Stickles and pearls were added.
• A triple bow using Ivory Wrinkled Ribbon was adhered.  
• A butterfly from the Botanical layers was the finishing touch- glued to the bow center.

Thanks for stopping by.  I do hope you enjoyed the card!

May you always have beautiful music long after it was heard no more.

Hugs,
Kathy Jo

May 2017 New Stamps!

 

Welcome to the May 2017 Quietfire rubber stamp release. There are eight new stamp sets to play with! (Wow, 8!!)

Where to start….? 

I absolutely love sayings with double meanings.  I guess that’s why the two music stamps are my favourite!  The Music in my Heart sentiment was sent to me by Karen S (I’ll be sending you a complimentary stamp Karen!)  and is such a beautiful sentiment.  It’s perfect for a sympathy card.  Let me know what you'd use it for!



The Music in my Heart

 

The other music stamp saying is from Design Team member Connie Nichol.  Whether you’re talking about music or comfortable companionship with a friend, Moments of Silence applies.

 

 

Moments of Silence

The Leafy Acanthus Background is from an illustration I did years ago in the William Morris style.  Use it with a light coloured stamp ink for a subtle effect.  I think the quiet floral background combines beautifully with the “stillness” of the The Greatest Revelation.  Makes you pause and think.

 

 

 

 

The Greatest Revelation

 

Leafy Acanthus Background

 

 Thanks to a big nudge from Cheryl A., the Queen of Everything, which was sold out, has been resurrected. It’s a bit different, but the sentiment is still as strong as ever!  Cheryl, I’ll be sending you a complimentary set.



Queen of Everything

 

This new Modern Calligraphy style works well with whimsical sayings, so here is a really fun set of stamps.  If you have the Wishing You A die set, then you can combine it with Wishing You Whimsy perfectly!


 

Wishing You Whimsy

And last but not least, for those who like to doodle and colour there are two new sets of Fill 'er Up Caps:  DAD and MUM
Both these sets only have two letters, as one is repeated.  If you already have our JOY or LOVE set, then it's easy to make MOM
This brings our total of Fill 'er Up Letters to 11....  ADEJLMOUVY and T is part of the Thanks - Fill 'er Up set.  If you're feeling adventurous, flip the M upside-down for W and the U upside-down for N!  That takes us to 13 letters - half way there! Give it some time and we'll have the whole alphabet!


DAD



MUM

And that's it for now! Have fun and happy creating!
Suzanne
