The Way You Move!

Hi everyone! It's Rosie here today to share a card featuring Stamping Bella The Way You Move by Diane Duda. I love Diane Duda so when 7 Kids College Fund started carrying these stamps....well, I had to buy them!! I love the way this girl is posed, and the sentiment on her dress...is well....PERFECT!

I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Dress: B00, B02, B04, B05, N0, N2, Colorless Blender

I used some awesome dps from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found SUNSHINE 6x6 paper pad. All the edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The other stuff was in my stash.

Now don't forget there is still a little time left to enter our "Just Plain Wrong" Challenge over on the 7 Kids Challenge Blog HERE!! We've enjoyed seeing all the cards currently linked up! Some are actually pretty funny! :)

Have a great week!

Rosie :)

Sarah Kay Day

Hey Everyone!! Came today to share one of my favorite stamp artist and that is Sarah Kay! Her images just bring back so many good memories for me and I love coloring them. This sweetie is: "Country Girl" - I can imagine sitting there dreaming of things I would love yet to accomplish. I think my dream is to travel more and see all the beautiful places. My mother and father who have RV for 20 plus years say "you don't need to leave the US, it's all here!" so that is my dream to travel more in the US! Well, and a few other places!

Sarah Kay: Country Girl

 

I thought I would show just how much I love Sarah Kay and how nostalgic the images can be and perhaps you will love her too! These are just a few of the cards I have made using SK images.

More Intricate Die Tips....

Rhea here to bring you a simple and elegant little card using Spellbinders Delight Dies.  These little dies are a new addition to the Spellbinder Collection this year.  They are are amazing and very affordable!!! 

This die is Medallion 1D-Lites

I choose to not cut out the shape of the die but just the details inside my card center.  This is one of the reasons I love these little dies so much.  You can cut the center only on a large piece of cardstock and use it as a throw away stencil :)  Yes, these are very intricate dies...No worries!  Don't forget the tip I gave you a couple of weeks ago. 

• Mist the back of the paper with water
• Cut/emboss
• Leave paper in die
• Use heat gun to heat dry the "back side" of the paper
• Paper will come out a lot easier and your emboss will be deeper

If you prefer to use wax paper that will help as well.  Some people use baby powder to sprinkle the die first.  I use corn starch.  It is more grainy and helps to release the wax paper better which helps release the card stock.  Remember, anything you put between the die and your card stock will effect the depth of your emboss and your cuts.  So here is a little tip for that.....

Sometimes intricate does don't cut all the grooves :(  if you rotate your die and paper 90 degrees and run it again it should work.  This could also be because you have a warped cutting matt.  Or a heavy used area.  Make sure to turn and flip boards and replace them from time to time.  I have a set just for intricate dies.  And save the really old junky ones for the simple shape dies.

I've also heard there are products on the market to prep your dies with....

I am investigating!  I will report back soon and will let Tab know if they are worth carrying.

I hope these little tips help.
