<br />
Hi Everyone - Today I wanted to pop in and share how I photograph my cards, including my inexpensive set up. When I first went on my mission to improve my card photography, information was hard to come by, and not many bloggers seemed to be blogging on the subject. So after many trials and errors, I've landed on two main set ups that I alternate depending on the project.<br />
<br />
Todays post focuses on stand up cards. Later this week we will look at how I photograph flat laying cards.<br />
All of the supplies mentioned can be found at the bottom of the post. And if you have any questions, or better yet, tips on better settings / equipment - please leave those in the comments below.<br />
<br />
<i>Please note, this is the method(s) I use and like. This doesn't mean they are by any means correct or the best. I am not a professional photographer and have very limited education on the subject. This is what works for me. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<h3>
My Cameras</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1Snq6hTEZE/XQZNC2nxRWI/AAAAAAAAzb8/ZIEkhvgkRd4BXMqkFKYMVqiq-IsQNOfeACLcBGAs/s1600/Nikon_25492_D3200_DSLR_Camera_With_856049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1Snq6hTEZE/XQZNC2nxRWI/AAAAAAAAzb8/ZIEkhvgkRd4BXMqkFKYMVqiq-IsQNOfeACLcBGAs/s200/Nikon_25492_D3200_DSLR_Camera_With_856049.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
The first thing you of course need is a camera. My camera of preference is a DSLR, but this is also an investment. I paid around $600 for my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Camera-18-55mm-70-300mm-Accessory/dp/B07MDZL22D/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=nikon+d3200&pd_rd_i=B07MDZL22D&pd_rd_r=65eeb496-2156-4c22-8647-d0b2ffabe550&pd_rd_w=ag9Rt&pd_rd_wg=ZH5ZK&pf_rd_p=0bc35c17-1e0d-4808-b361-20ab11b00973&pf_rd_r=G3MB83WZWY8BZSJ9ZB9P&qid=1560693830&s=gateway&linkCode=ll1&tag=livlovlauscr-20&linkId=91948ed9812bd78c4dc0c04e5a0e549f&language=en_US" target="_blank">Nikon D3200</a> probably 5-6 years ago BUT I do a lot of photo taking aside from cards and I refuse to use a cell phone for photos. This camera has since been updated to the D3500. <i>I know a lot of people do and it works fine for them, but I am a photo snob and want my memories preserved as best as in as highest qualify as possible, but I will share some phone photography options as well. </i>My most used lenses for card photography are the two that came with it which are a standard lens 18-55mm, and a basic telephoto lens 55-200mm. You can now get this camera much cheaper than I with better lenses on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Camera-18-55mm-70-300mm-Accessory/dp/B07MDZL22D/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=nikon+d3200&pd_rd_i=B07MDZL22D&pd_rd_r=65eeb496-2156-4c22-8647-d0b2ffabe550&pd_rd_w=ag9Rt&pd_rd_wg=ZH5ZK&pf_rd_p=0bc35c17-1e0d-4808-b361-20ab11b00973&pf_rd_r=G3MB83WZWY8BZSJ9ZB9P&qid=1560693830&s=gateway&linkCode=ll1&tag=livlovlauscr-20&linkId=91948ed9812bd78c4dc0c04e5a0e549f&language=en_US" target="_blank">amazon</a> as there are now newer models.</div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rNAa1c7OHkw/XQZN-Dc785I/AAAAAAAAzcE/p3fKorq9u982hP2h7DuOIXkNXf9QPRmbQCLcBGAs/s1600/41FlbE6SBtL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="436" data-original-width="500" height="174" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rNAa1c7OHkw/XQZN-Dc785I/AAAAAAAAzcE/p3fKorq9u982hP2h7DuOIXkNXf9QPRmbQCLcBGAs/s200/41FlbE6SBtL.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
My second camera of choice is a point and shoot. I've used the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?k=panasonic+lumix&ref=nb_sb_noss&linkCode=ll2&tag=livlovlauscr-20&linkId=ef20f3f9f2beecf867a8a4ddad0904f5&language=en_US" target="_blank">panasonic lumix</a> brand for as long as I can remember. I choose this brand because they have excellent optical zoom. The main function of this camera in my arsenal is to take photos at concerts, where I don't want to drag my DSLR. I also use this to do my card close ups and process photos, but it could be used for main card photos as well, and I'll show some examples of that later on. The model I have is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Vario-ELMAR-DMC-ZS60S-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B0747TKQQZ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=panasonic+lumix&qid=1560694172&s=gateway&sr=8-5&linkCode=ll1&tag=livlovlauscr-20&linkId=a14e87eedac571bb99ab20ad4c919b05&language=en_US" target="_blank">ZS60</a>, chosen for its slim design that can fit in my pocket. They do have cameras that close resemble a DSLR without the detachable lenses, but I've never tried them.</div>
<br />
<h3>
Natural Light</h3>
<div>
Photographing with natural light is said to be the best. If you're like me, those opportunities are hard to come by. If/When I can go outside to photograph my cards, I take my background outside with me and place it and my project on the deck (or ground). I stand above it hovering the camera directly overtop about 6-12 inches above the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Foldio Method</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LzBe7LIFDk4/XQZJ7q5hoTI/AAAAAAAAzbw/FcXzgA99FVEKBFFfzJnIKutnuVEb8LMLACLcBGAs/s1600/Photography.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LzBe7LIFDk4/XQZJ7q5hoTI/AAAAAAAAzbw/FcXzgA99FVEKBFFfzJnIKutnuVEb8LMLACLcBGAs/s200/Photography.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
The foldio was one of the first accessories I purchased to photograph cards. It's much cheaper now than it was when I bought it, and it works great! The foldio is a 10 inch foldable light box with built in LED lights and a white surrounding that bounces light through all angels of your subject. The foldio is ideal if you want to photograph cards that are standing up OR for cards that have glitter this is usually my preferred method. There have since been a foldio 2 and foldio 3 with more advanced features, and of course a higher price tag. You can now get the original foldio that I use for only $30!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRW7VShCBL0/XQZSMMXdRjI/AAAAAAAAzcg/CrZVIvfAXSUAAfUMY2Xl_y9jm0Df8F7twCLcBGAs/s1600/P1060161.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRW7VShCBL0/XQZSMMXdRjI/AAAAAAAAzcg/CrZVIvfAXSUAAfUMY2Xl_y9jm0Df8F7twCLcBGAs/s320/P1060161.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I photograph with my foldio I use a piece of scrapbooking paper with a simple design for the background, and my DIY photo board for my base (more on that later). I usual a fake flower or other prop in the background, and set my card up closer to the front, on a slight angle. This will help blur the background, keep the card in focus, and show dimension. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I usually stand back about 5-10 feet from the card and zoom into it, typically using a telephoto lens on my DSLR Camera.<br />
However as of recently I've been liking the look more if my camera is closer, 4-5 feet using my standard kit lens (18-55mm) My camera is usually on a tripod for stability as I'm going to shoot in manual mode with a slower shutter speed to allow more light in. I also usually use a remote to trigger my shutter vs pressing the shutter release button, so there is no camera shake. And my camera is at the same height, directly level with the card. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is however possible to get good photos without all of these steps. Below I will show you several options using the foldio and various cameras / settings.</div>

I have my backdrop and props in place and the card is on a slight angle to give it more interest. My camera is on Manual Mode set to an ISO of 200, Aperture of f6.3 and a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second with no flash. <i>I usually take 3 different shutter speeds 1/30 1/50 and 1/70 and choose the best.

If you don't have a telephoto lens lens you can still achieve a good photo with your kit lens and DSLR camera. This photo was taken with my kit lens (18-55mm). I've moved my tripod closer. I'm now about 5 feet away from the card, and my camera settings have changed. Like always I've taken 3 different exposures with and without flash. And the one that looked best ended up being a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second WITH flash (aperture and ISO same, 6.3 and 200). I didn't brighten this one in editing, simply cropped and watermarked. </div>

This photo was taken with my point and shoot on auto mode, force flash off. As you can see, it's really not that much different ( and much less set up and hassle). No tripod. I'm standing about 10 feet back and zooming in. I slightly brightened the photo, cropped, and added my watermark. The only real difference is in the background. You don't get the blurred background and field depth you do with a point and shoot. You may lose a small amount of detail, but it's negligible. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Many point and shoots including the one I use do now have manual settings. I've played with them a little and don't like them. Shooting manual using the same settings on my P&S and DSLR does not yield anywhere near the same results. This could of course vary camera to camera. When I find something I like I stay pretty brand specific. I've exclusively used Panasonic Lumix point and shoots for the last 7 years. I only upgraded once and it was my own fault because I lightly dropped my old one and scratched the lens (it actually still worked great I gifted it to someone). I've played with other cameras and I just don't like anything else. But for reference lets try my moms camera:</div>

<div>
I personally loathe this camera. We both bought one on Black Friday for $100. It only performs well under natural light and has horrible camera shake and no image stabilization. She however makes it work and likes it. Notice it seems there is a blur and loss of clarity. But this still isn't a horrible photo. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Phone</h3>
<div>
If you have no other choice but to use a phone then you can make it work, but it is definitely my least preferred method for any type of photography. It is physically incapable of capturing the depth an actual camera can. I'm not good at explaining it, but if you're curious there a good article <a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/dslr-better-performance-iphone-smartphone/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the best I could do with my phone and my foldio:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQCCtRuadxg/XQaLrT0OBjI/AAAAAAAAzd4/UN1OICLryKsMeIc5iFwLn18u_MscJXmjgCLcBGAs/s1600/Phone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQCCtRuadxg/XQaLrT0OBjI/AAAAAAAAzd4/UN1OICLryKsMeIc5iFwLn18u_MscJXmjgCLcBGAs/s640/Phone.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Is this horrible? No. Is it as pleasing to the eye as the others, no. </div>
<div>
I was not able to stand back and zoom in like the others so you lose your background, which may seem negligible, but it helps your eye focus on the subject, vs having it right in your face. </div>
<div>
So I had to get close AND use a flash to attempt to get a semi decent photo. </div>
<div>
You'll also notice significant color loss. The colors are not as bright and vibrant as they are in the other photos, or in real life. </div>
<div>
The only advantage I see is that my stamped images have much more detail, likely because the camera is so close + the use of flash.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Staging</h3>
</div>
<div>
Leave some space. It's more pleasing to the eye when you're showing a scene that includes a great card, instead of just a card, which can be more overwhelming for you eye to focus on. It helps the dimension and size of the card and its elements look more realistic.</div>

Try bonus close ups to capture those details instead. And try using a flash to capture glitter, shimmer, and shine. Shimmer, such as wink of stella, can be very tricky to capture. The best way I've found is to use my flash, but I still don't have it down to a science. </div>

Props</h3>
<div>
Just like leaving space, adding props also helps make your whole image more pleasing to the eye. </div>
<div>
For my background I typically use scrapbooking paper. Whenever it's on sale at Michaels or Joann Stores I grab some simple neutrals to use as backgrounds. I tape them to the back of the foldio. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the "floor" of the card I have made some DIY photo boards out of decorative poster board you can also find at the craft store. We R Memory Keepers has some great one. I typically use the same We R Memory Keepers white wood poster I found at Hobby Lobby, which I've glued down to some cardboard for extra stability. For lighter / white cards, a slightly darker background can help with contract. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Faux Florals are one of the simplest props. I grab them when they're on sale/clearance at the craft store. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
And there ya have it! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for Part 2 - How I photograph my flat lay cards! And if you have any questions - Or tips on how you think I can improve, I'd love to hear em. Leave me a note in the comments below. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I said before I am by no means an expert, and am still envious of many other crafters and their beautiful photos. I nit pick my photos every time I take them and am constantly trying to improve. What works for me may not work for everyone.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by my little slice on the internet on this dreary Monday morning (at least here in MI), hopefully these cheery roses can brighten your day! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've created this card for the current <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-weddings-anniversary/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp wedding/anniversary challenge</a>, but you could use this for most any Congratsable occasion (its a word, I swear). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The Process</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Cut a piece of 4.25 x 11 inch piece of black card stock. Score and Fold in the center to create an a2 sized top folding card base.</li>
<li>Cut the <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=24698&userid=1073023&productid=699278504&afftrack=" target="_blank">Avery Elle horizontal stripe</a> background from some bright white paper and adhere down to the front of your card base.</li>
<li>Cut the matching circle from the same set out of matching black cardstock, adhere down to the center of your die cut background</li>
<li>Stamp and Cut Out several floral images, I've used <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=199868&u=1073023&m=24698&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fsearch%3Fcurrency%3DUSD%26q%3DSunny%2Bstudio%2Brosy&afftrack=" target="_blank">Sunny Studio's Rosy</a> set. </li>
<li>Carefully arrange your florals where you want them, then use press N seal plastic wrap to pick them up in their arrangement until its time to adhere down</li>
<li>Stamp and heat emboss your sentiment being mindful of where the floral will go</li>
<li>While still on the press N seal, add adhesive to the back of your floral die cuts. Carefully flip the whole thing over, and adhere down. Gently remove press N seal</li>
<li>Embellish with glitter, sequins, and shimmer as desired. I added some glue and glitter around around the edge of one floral, and shimmer pen to the others, with a random scattering of gold sequins topped with clear dimensional adhesive. </li>
</ul>
<h3>
Notes</h3>
</div>
<div>
My pink/orange rose was an attempt to recreate a beautiful rose bush we used to have. I'm in love with how it turned out. This was a multi-brand ink layer using (in the order stamped):</div>
<div>
Altenew Frosty Pink, Altenew Coral Berry, SSS Orange Slush, Hero Arts Tangerine</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My teal roses which are a complete figment of my imagination were made with;</div>
<div>
Hero Arts Soft Pool, SSS Spring Rain, Hero Arts Tide Pool, SSS Teal</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Hi Everyone and Welcome! Today starts the June challenge over at <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/06/june-challenge/" target="_blank">A Blog Named Hero</a>. This months theme is sympathy cards. Never fun to send, but important none the less. Most of the sympathy cards I make are black and white and this is no exception. I did want a pop of color to bring a little happy to an unhappy situation, so I added this sweet little butterfly.<br />
<br />
My background was made by layering a white background die cut on top of a piece of glittered cardstock. I created my own glitter card stock by running the entire panel through my Xyron sticker maker, and then covering the now sticky side with microfine glitter.<br />
<br />
The sentiment, from the Hero Arts Prayers stamp set was cut 4x from black cardstock, glued together and adhered onto a strip of vellum to separate it from the background. And the smaller sentiment was simply stamped onto white cardstock and trimmed into a strip, which I popped up with dimensional adhesive.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to head over to <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/06/june-challenge/" target="_blank">A Blog Named Hero</a> to see the rest of the DT projects as well as all of the challenge details.

Hi Everyone, Happy Thursday, Kristina here today with some masculine cards using a background die from Elizabeth Craft.<br />
<br />
I've wanted to do a paper piecing type technique with this die every since I got it, but was intimidated by the need to keep track of all the pieces. But I found a simple method to easily produce the effect, and get multiple cards in the process. I went with three different colors for my background, which produces three different cards. In hindsight I would've rather done 4 or more so there was less options for colors to be next to each other.<br />
<br />
Onto the process:<br />
<br />
I ran the die and paper through my die cut machine. I kept it sandwiched between my cutting plates and flipped the whole sandwich over so that the cut side was up. With all of the piece still in the die, I stuck down a piece of Avery removable label paper (masking paper) to cover the back.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used my tool n one to carefully remove the die, leaving the positive and negative space die cuts adhered to my label paper.<br />

Once I was done, I had a panel for each of my colors, with all of the pieces where they go. </div>

To begin assembly, I first ran the circle frame through my Xyron machine and stuck it down to an a2 sized card base. From there, I simply transferred the circle from the label paper over into their "frame"</div>

Hi Friends! Kristina here for my solo post of the month! I've created another card to go with out current <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/05/may-challenge/">Celebrate</a> theme - You have a few more days to get your projects linked up! Here's what I've come up with, it i's Hero Art's birthday after all...
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="ButterflyFlash" class="alignnone wp-image-13271" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ButterflyFlash.jpg" height="600" width="600" /></div>
<br />
I fell in love with this butterfly set the moment I saw it. These images are drawl beautifully. While I have lots of colorful plans for them, I wanted to keep the coloring simple.
I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens for all of my watercoloring. I started by coloring my main butterfly, and once dried, I went around the white space fading it in from the edges of the card and the main butterfly.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="P1060056" class=" wp-image-13272 aligncenter" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/P1060056.jpg" height="600" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I glued this panel down to some fun foam for sturdy dimension, and then only an a2 sized card base. To finish I went over all of the black and white butterflies with a shimmer pen. Lastly, heat embossed my sentiment onto pink card stock with white embossing powder and adhered it onto the card with foam tape.

Hi Everyone! It's time for the June challenge over at the <a href="http://a2zscrapbookingblog.com/2019/06/01/a2z-scrapbooking-june-2019-challenge" target="_blank">a2z scrapbooking blog</a> and this month, we're shaking it up with no cards! So I did envelopes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NLCXhuYysLU/XPB_9dWYydI/AAAAAAAAyvM/1mA0QfQM-ak8918YAiT8dn8vpuv2OBtGACLcBGAs/s1600/Envelopes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NLCXhuYysLU/XPB_9dWYydI/AAAAAAAAyvM/1mA0QfQM-ak8918YAiT8dn8vpuv2OBtGACLcBGAs/s640/Envelopes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To decorate my envelopes I started by stamping my images in versamark ink, and heat embossing with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once it cooled, I did some ombre ink blending onto the envelopes with Oxide Inks and the <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=24698&userid=1073023&productid=807340841&afftrack=" target="_blank">Life Changing Blender Brushes</a>. Since envelope paper isn't exactly made for ink blending, the blender brushes made it a lot easier to get a nicer blend. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once it was all inked up, I used a paper town to go over my embossed image to wipe off any ink residue, added the name for the address and a stamp and they're ready to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

My oldest Hero Arts stamp dates back to 1996, this Happy Birthday rubber stamp I'm sure a lot of us have seen. Honestly it doesn't get as much use from me as it should, its amazing. Since I was 11 when the stamp came out, I'm fairly certain this was a hand me down. Crafting runs in the family!<br />

I LOVE this stencil from Hero Arts that I got a few years ago, and I was so excited when they came out with all of the scripty sentiment dies and stamps, including this congrats.<br />

This card mixes some old and new. This new background stamp from Hero is possible my new favorite ever and these monarch butterfly cling stamps will always hold a place in my collection. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone and Happy Thursday! I'm here today with a cherry and playful birthday card using the <a href="https://www.diesrus.com/search.asp?keyword=lawn+fawn+wild+for+you&search=">Lawn Fawn Wild For You</a> stamps and dies. I've always had a hard time doing scene type cards. If you're like me, my favorite hack is just a simple ink blended ground and sky instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxz2SCZZLdslqAJbAnCvxZXD45MNUBmmFMo54fM_pEZp8vv9zeWByHkNjEbxjbzgftCNwojYBPkUWeQNEjLfvn6A2-0n6VliDtky011X8wPqMII0ZZ4MIrGUVtTpduo7Gy1XDkBh9Uiww/s1600/Wild2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxz2SCZZLdslqAJbAnCvxZXD45MNUBmmFMo54fM_pEZp8vv9zeWByHkNjEbxjbzgftCNwojYBPkUWeQNEjLfvn6A2-0n6VliDtky011X8wPqMII0ZZ4MIrGUVtTpduo7Gy1XDkBh9Uiww/s640/Wild2.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For this background I simple blended some green oxide ink towards the bottom and some blue above it, then wet the whole thing by misting the panel with water and letting it dry, as if I had watercolored it. I wasn't quite satisfied with it yet, it wasn't "party" enough, so I used assorted other oxide colors on my desk to create a splattering of confetti everywhere. I simply smooshed them onto my craft media mat, got them wet with water, and splattered them around until I was happy with the background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When my background was fully dry, I heat embossed my sentiment along the bottom, and adhered my images that I had stamped, colored, and cut from the stamp set. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To finished I mounted the whole panel onto an a2 sized card base with foam adhesive, and there you have it!</div>

I love this die collection which comes with multiple options to add that little extra detail to your card making ( they'd make great banner pieces too! ). Each design comes two ways, an inward and outward pointing fishtail end.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-qg9TkLitWAZbrxzKTG7T38t16gn0xzxhnzMMZR-O_8-NKhFqsYCUeMunRCdOubkaOpXfm6l4w_2JbQqCH7Bv5VM-XpRG3sH5BYqIPv6noRywsbhQAOXks9V68RhjGdNOpv5YEMWRlU/s1600/10924f9a-dbc7-4716-a6ba-12c4cdda6f77_1.74046de2d9c6a0f53bc54e45e406d43f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="816" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-qg9TkLitWAZbrxzKTG7T38t16gn0xzxhnzMMZR-O_8-NKhFqsYCUeMunRCdOubkaOpXfm6l4w_2JbQqCH7Bv5VM-XpRG3sH5BYqIPv6noRywsbhQAOXks9V68RhjGdNOpv5YEMWRlU/s400/10924f9a-dbc7-4716-a6ba-12c4cdda6f77_1.74046de2d9c6a0f53bc54e45e406d43f.jpg" width="203" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
To put the cards together I adhered an a2 sized piece of patterned paper down to an a2 top fold card as a base. I choose a piece of coordinating colored card stock, cut it to the same size, and ran it through an embossing folder for texture. Instead of stamping I went with some sentiment images from a card kit and mounted them onto some glitter card stock before adhering down to the top 3rd of my solid card stock panel. From here I used the fun chevron dies from Creative Expression to cut off the bottom portion of the panel, so that when glued down to the base, the patterned paper I adhered earlier gets to show through.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleEtQHgqvhjVgIsOm7kKf7R7oqsbAIKOG6N-9Hqp-y4b0TkPY7vMXkmIfFX1POYJIqQIHmsBRp_KoTO81C1PeUFqYwHeWJVTQyTvD2dUW6OVc2gHtT0aX3m4xvwbWsTSlrFP-V_LY5Ho/s1600/Trio4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleEtQHgqvhjVgIsOm7kKf7R7oqsbAIKOG6N-9Hqp-y4b0TkPY7vMXkmIfFX1POYJIqQIHmsBRp_KoTO81C1PeUFqYwHeWJVTQyTvD2dUW6OVc2gHtT0aX3m4xvwbWsTSlrFP-V_LY5Ho/s400/Trio4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
This example shows a variation of the dies with a more inward pointing arrow or fishtail<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9vhVI3qIniPmbQjeAPiopg9CPeu-hqUjaDFdSLKoKl-mSDYR5b7X1dodk3QrOWUnktpR0aCT_Gw06jqC-GVvswu-DRnsXbED45Wfn2VoqEQynI-7Mo4HdV0DtGalFRRPzJffaaaQaYWI/s1600/Trio3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9vhVI3qIniPmbQjeAPiopg9CPeu-hqUjaDFdSLKoKl-mSDYR5b7X1dodk3QrOWUnktpR0aCT_Gw06jqC-GVvswu-DRnsXbED45Wfn2VoqEQynI-7Mo4HdV0DtGalFRRPzJffaaaQaYWI/s400/Trio3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
This shows the outward more arrow-like edge. I think these would also look great vertically with patterned or glitter paper peeking out the side.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi! It's an exciting time to be a Hero Arts fan. We're in the midst of their 45th anniversary celebration, so in true party fashion, we're having a challenge for it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This month at A Blog Named Hero we want to see your celebration cards! Anniversary, Party, Congrats, Birthday - Here's my card, a shout out to one of my favorite companies on their milestone. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_ZEM7NqHkM/XNjgf4bCtCI/AAAAAAAAv3A/R3-g94jTDPUfCt-VDorI0qPj7xKxibbRACLcBGAs/s1600/Anniversary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_ZEM7NqHkM/XNjgf4bCtCI/AAAAAAAAv3A/R3-g94jTDPUfCt-VDorI0qPj7xKxibbRACLcBGAs/s640/Anniversary.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The design team is also using their all time favorite Hero Arts products this month in celebration. This background stamp is both the first background stamp I ever owned, and my favorite of all time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MisOS8BaEqI/XNjj3jbhWdI/AAAAAAAAv3M/wKShhxYSv7Yy-9LfEzGDtuIgLBvN6Y_LwCLcBGAs/s1600/P1050835_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MisOS8BaEqI/XNjj3jbhWdI/AAAAAAAAv3M/wKShhxYSv7Yy-9LfEzGDtuIgLBvN6Y_LwCLcBGAs/s640/P1050835_edited-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I stamped the background with versamark sticky ink onto a panel of <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=855179&u=1073023&m=65361&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fheroarts%2Ecom%2Fcollections%2Fpaper%2Fproducts%2Fps313%2Dhero%2Dhues%2Dadriatic&afftrack=" target="_blank">Hero Arts Adriatic</a> card stock and then heat embossed the image with <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=855179&u=1073023&m=65361&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fheroarts%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fpw122%2Dwhite%2Ddetail%2Dembossing%2Dpowder&afftrack=" target="_blank">Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder</a>. I colored in some of the open florals with a shimmer pen, and some of the others with some pearlescent watercolors. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9foEx0uKgU/XNjqSM6xABI/AAAAAAAAv3Y/VV5pqfMDHA0zlBgUwcOJDqM4pIBvOzioQCLcBGAs/s1600/P1050836%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9foEx0uKgU/XNjqSM6xABI/AAAAAAAAv3Y/VV5pqfMDHA0zlBgUwcOJDqM4pIBvOzioQCLcBGAs/s640/P1050836%2Bcopy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My sentiment was stamped from another ride or die favorite set - <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=65361&userid=1073023&productid=631663372&afftrack=" target="_blank">Everyday Sayings</a>. It just has every sentiment you could need in great fonts. Sometimes you get a great stamp set, but the sentiments included are very specific even though the images are not. That's where this set is perfect! You can use images from a sympathy set, and slap a thank you greeting on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GAhBtcDo8S0/XNjtUrvPdbI/AAAAAAAAv3k/vvXyJF0l-D8wGPpPMzjiEfMrAWE2NQfVQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_1963%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GAhBtcDo8S0/XNjtUrvPdbI/AAAAAAAAv3k/vvXyJF0l-D8wGPpPMzjiEfMrAWE2NQfVQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_1963%2Bcopy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To finish I added some nuvo drop flower centers and adhered everything down to a white a2 sized card base. Head over to <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/03/may-challenge" target="_blank">A Blog Named Hero </a>to see what the rest of the design team created and get all the details on how to enter the challenge.</div>

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! I've got another layout from the International Scrapbooking Day festivities. This one was the result of the special<a href="http://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/2019/05/looking-for-some-insd-challenges.html" target="_blank"> Freaky Fast Friday</a> challenge at the Scraproom with a floral theme from <a href="https://scrapbookandcards.com/insd-2019-1000-am-with-paige-evans-and-a-floral-themed-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrapbook & Cards Today</a> and an inspiration photo from <a href="https://jillibeansoup.typepad.com/my_weblog/2019/05/insd-challenge-2-create-a-scrapbooking-layout-with-this-special-technique.html" target="_blank">Jillibean Soup</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xO9lS8YTjao/XNV5Z5NiHrI/AAAAAAAAv1M/nBxIGpo5mXEYKB0STEWom8_bAHxn0gc4gCLcBGAs/s1600/6a0105370382f8970b0240a45a0631200c-500wi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="373" data-original-width="500" height="236" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xO9lS8YTjao/XNV5Z5NiHrI/AAAAAAAAv1M/nBxIGpo5mXEYKB0STEWom8_bAHxn0gc4gCLcBGAs/s320/6a0105370382f8970b0240a45a0631200c-500wi.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nS5G_-rmyzU/XNV5ZwN0UDI/AAAAAAAAv1I/8GO0kMU18Ock83R0ZDTGRne07hiVz7J9gCLcBGAs/s1600/insdfff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nS5G_-rmyzU/XNV5ZwN0UDI/AAAAAAAAv1I/8GO0kMU18Ock83R0ZDTGRne07hiVz7J9gCLcBGAs/s200/insdfff.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
When I see fringe I either think Party or Country - I didn't have any good party photos I wanted to scrapbook so I went with the Country theme and grabbed a photo of me and my sister at a Brad Paisley concert a few years ago. Since we're going country I choose the Farmhouse Stew collection from Jillibean Soup for my main kit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-654D-S3J2_0/XNV2255nExI/AAAAAAAAv08/0voJtF06pZQxs4-9m0TIeyFCjrmxIMzmgCEwYBhgL/s1600/Sister3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-654D-S3J2_0/XNV2255nExI/AAAAAAAAv08/0voJtF06pZQxs4-9m0TIeyFCjrmxIMzmgCEwYBhgL/s640/Sister3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the 4.5x6.5 prompt on the freaky fast friday challenge to create this block of fringe, but cutting 2 pieces of kraft card stock to that size. One served as my base and the other I cut into strips and fringed using fringe scissors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O5hZMuDps2A/XNV223aePkI/AAAAAAAAv04/0PAXWxsqjW4kslHf7CJdfyP_XXzpiQQGQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Sister2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O5hZMuDps2A/XNV223aePkI/AAAAAAAAv04/0PAXWxsqjW4kslHf7CJdfyP_XXzpiQQGQCEwYBhgL/s640/Sister2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
My embellishments were a mix of things from the collection kit but also some handmade leaves and flowers using the new We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill. This was my first time using it.<br />
<br />
I love it but my only complaint is I assumed it would draw AND cut out the images, but the cut feature wasn't a part of the SVGs (at least the first batch I tried).<br />
<br />
So I ran it through my brother scan n cut. It was able to pick out the lines and successfully cut out the flower images because there was enough contract in color between the foil lines and the yellow card stock. The leave images however weren't as simple. One of them foiled with some nice bold lines. The machine detected and cut that one out fine. But the other two foiled with thinner lines (not by my choosing) and it couldn't distinguish the outline, therefore wouldn't cut. I fussy cut these.<br />

To finish I added my title to the required 1x3 inch strip from the freaky fast formula, and added some little sticker and sequin embellishments around the page. And there ya have it!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm catching up on all of my international scrapbooking day challenges and clearing out some stash before the big Great Lakes Mega Meet this weekend in my home town, so here is layout 1. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k_hKtvAoE_Q/XNL_VI9qBCI/AAAAAAAAvz8/ietyjombWMM19gByLuvknpbAUz2ZIsl8ACLcBGAs/s1600/iNSDsketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k_hKtvAoE_Q/XNL_VI9qBCI/AAAAAAAAvz8/ietyjombWMM19gByLuvknpbAUz2ZIsl8ACLcBGAs/s320/iNSDsketch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This layout uses the Echo Park Magical Adventure collection kit with some embellishments added from Momenta and Thickers. I followed a sketch from <a href="https://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/2019/05/another-insd-challenge.html" target="_blank">The Scraproom</a> with a Disney theme challenge from <a href="https://scrapbookandcards.com/insd-2019-400-pm-with-wendy-sue-anderson-and-a-disney-challenge/" target="_blank">Scrapbook and Cards Today</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hWf6gWIfcuM/XNLrozDBB2I/AAAAAAAAvzs/ULoDY_C_CnoLCJoXVK_2oSxSd0FfBsIVACEwYBhgL/s1600/Magic4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hWf6gWIfcuM/XNLrozDBB2I/AAAAAAAAvzs/ULoDY_C_CnoLCJoXVK_2oSxSd0FfBsIVACEwYBhgL/s640/Magic4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My embellishments mostly came from the collection kit. I fussy cut these faux park tickets from a sheet of the patterned paper and added minnies' bow from the sticker collection. To add a little interest, I did some hand stitched along on of my paper strips. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My two-piece title was a combination of thickers and stamp from the coordinating stamp set, heat embossed onto some black card stock. I added some of the coordinating enamel dots for added texture. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I added a third embellishment cluster using some assorted stickers from my collection. These come from Momenta and Pinkfresh Studio - two new to me favorites!</div>

Hi Everyone! I'm here today playing with the <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=855179&u=1073023&m=65361&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fheroarts%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fdi592%2Dmonarch%2Dbutterfly%2Dfancy%2Ddies&afftrack=">Hero Arts Monarch Fancy Die</a> from the 2019 catalog. There are so many great ways to use this die. I decided to cut it out from some rainbow backgrounds I had made while playing with various mediums.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The first one was cut from an alcohol ink panel I had made while testing out different paper and alcohol ink combinations. This was Rangers yupo paper.</span></div>

The next butterfly was cut from some Bristol smooth card stock that I had scribbled some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens onto. I went over and blended everything together with a clear wink of stella pen, creating a sparkly rainbow gradient.
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My last butterfly was cut out from a bunch of strips of Hero Arts card stock from the sample kit I bought to go through and pick out my must have colors. I cut out a rectangle from a sheet of double sided adhesive. Removed the release paper from one side and laid down small strips of card stock until I had covered the whole panel. Then I ran the whole thing through my die cut machine with the butterfly die. When I was ready to place it on my card panel, I removed the release paper and stuck it down.To finish, I stamped down various sentiments from the Hero Arts Sending Smiles stamp set in Intense Black ink.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another layout for the Dunn wedding album in the books. This one uses the April 2019 Flavors of the Month scrapbooking kit over at <a href="http://www.scrap-room.com/" target="_blank">The Scrap Room</a>. I used their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2136401526444811&set=oa.2299488993435528&type=3&theater" target="_blank">Freaky Fast Formula</a> to come up with my layout and the Carta Bella Flower Market collection which I LOVE.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y6pUlRjelpM/XMRcrQQoI4I/AAAAAAAAvrU/zvG3YPmZ5bcd6WX65ODIMnLmdtS2C2aegCLcBGAs/s1600/MrMrs2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y6pUlRjelpM/XMRcrQQoI4I/AAAAAAAAvrU/zvG3YPmZ5bcd6WX65ODIMnLmdtS2C2aegCLcBGAs/s640/MrMrs2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started with the 10" circle called for in the freaky fast formal. I choose to use it hanging off the edge of the page, and then added the two rectangles, one as a photo mat and another as an interest element under the circle. I cut both from the same paper because I love it so much, and matted them with some of the cream colored card stock that came in the kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oOau0ndWOyM/XMRdJOHc0SI/AAAAAAAAvrc/Gl1sfD10MQM7r-JrEu8WIa-SJCKW1GWywCLcBGAs/s1600/MrMrs3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oOau0ndWOyM/XMRdJOHc0SI/AAAAAAAAvrc/Gl1sfD10MQM7r-JrEu8WIa-SJCKW1GWywCLcBGAs/s640/MrMrs3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't have any alpha stickers I liked for the title so I fired up cricut and made my own. I cut 3 layers in black card stock and one in glitter. Piecing them together slightly off set to create a shadow effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yi1HmM82wcw/XMRdZsi2KBI/AAAAAAAAvrk/fA9Lrws7mG8N69hN0fA_azsQaf5HVnV7wCLcBGAs/s1600/MrMrs4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yi1HmM82wcw/XMRdZsi2KBI/AAAAAAAAvrk/fA9Lrws7mG8N69hN0fA_azsQaf5HVnV7wCLcBGAs/s640/MrMrs4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The two remaining elements from the freaky fast formula were 1x12 inch strips. I cut one from the cool truck pattern paper, and used one of the included border stickers for the 2nd. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Hi Everyone, Kristina here with a bright and summery shaker card. I made my shaker window using the Elizabeth Craft Summer Drink die set. I die cut the drink glass 3 times out of some teal card stock, and cut the center of it out using an exacto knife. This was easy to do using the score line that is already imprinted from the die for texture. I glued the 3 layers aside and then cut the actual window from some white cardstock, and backed it with acetate. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To create the well for the skaker bits I cut the die out 2 more times from some fun foam, which I glued together, and then down to the acetate window using some strong liquid adhesive. After filling the well with sequins and other bits, I covered the panel with foam tape.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From there I filled my well with shaker bits and carefully adhered the back panel down. I used the lines on my media mat as well as a stamp-a-majig to keep it aligned and straight. </div>

This was my first time giving any sort of card kit a go - I have to say this particular one was a good value, and I love the ability to try some things I may not of otherwise purchased. The kit came with a large stamp set, an awesome die, bunch of pattern and solid card stock, a nuvo sample and more!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXqyH0ASixk/XLnn0ucgNrI/AAAAAAAAve0/a8QAGbEm1S0xiN1yQJEbXjVB1GxXVE2dQCLcBGAs/s1600/SSSCardKit3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXqyH0ASixk/XLnn0ucgNrI/AAAAAAAAve0/a8QAGbEm1S0xiN1yQJEbXjVB1GxXVE2dQCLcBGAs/s640/SSSCardKit3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
My first card uses the die that came with the set, a few of the patterned papers, the solid pink paper, and a sentiment from the stamp set! I decided to do a paper piecing technique with the die by cutting it out of multiple papers and piecing them all together. I mounted my finished die cut onto the white card stock that comes in the kit, the onto some gold glitter card stock I had in my stash, and lastly onto one of the pieces of pattern paper which I adhered to an a2 card base. For my sentiment I stamped and heat embossed it onto a banner of black card stock from my stash, and popped it up with some great foam adhesive that came in the kit.<br />

For my second card I used the floral images from the stamp set to create a pot of flowers which I cut out with my brother scan n cut, you could also fussy cut. I created a window panel by die cutting a scallop circle out of a another die cut. I heat embossed my sentiment, also from the stamp set, before mounting the panel onto some of the patterned paper with the included foam adhesive sheet. I glued down my stamped image inside the window, and added some simple nuvo drop embellishments to the flower centers to finish.<br />

<br />
For my last card I used the big bold sentiment that comes with the kit. I wanted to customize it to be multi-color, so i stamped it down with versa mark onto some black cardstock and used the faint image of the versa mark as a guide to paint over. You could also use markers or gel pens, but I really wanted to use this super shimmery watercolor. The photo does do the glitter justice! After I finished the painting, I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die, and added some of the nuvo drops that came with the kit to embellish, before adhering it down to some of the patterned paper with the foam adhesive, and finally onto an a2 card base.<br />

Hi Friends! Who's ready for summer? I know I am. I have a clean and simple card for you today mixing a couple Elizabeth Craft Designs dies together. I got these two dies at the same time and my first instinct was to put the flowers in the glass and so that is what I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To get everything started I die cut the sunflowers and leaves and used a petal roller to give them some dimension. Once I assembled it together, I put a big glob of glue in the center and added some fun glass glitter to the flower center. I set that aside to dry while I put together the rest of the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I did a simple card stock border with some foiled washi tape peaking out the side, and a foiled sentiment using the spellbinder glimmer machine. Once my sunflower was dry, I added it to the die cut cup from the Summer Drink die set, adhered it down, and there you have it!</div>

Day 3 was all about background stamps and how to stretch them! This was probably my favorite of the 3 days lesson wise, but overall I am very happy with the class value and can't wait for the next. <i>If you missed my previous post Stamp Happy will be an ongoing series of classes featuring different stamp company, Hero Arts was featured this go around. </i><br />

This month it's all about those clean & simple creations. I went with a single layer card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2gC2le4gWNg/XKUG9DqKIjI/AAAAAAAAuNg/4usMHXyY3A0YgXzjrbPr0nO1yhVB6X12ACEwYBhgL/s1600/HakunaMatata.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2gC2le4gWNg/XKUG9DqKIjI/AAAAAAAAuNg/4usMHXyY3A0YgXzjrbPr0nO1yhVB6X12ACEwYBhgL/s640/HakunaMatata.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started off by creating a simple ink blended sunset background with some <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/" target="_blank">Hero Arts</a> inks. I used post it tape to mask off a rectangular area, leaving the bottom third of my card front free for the sentiment. Then I blended Strawberry, Tangerine, and Lemon Yellow ink from hero arts, slowing building up the color and intensity. Once I had the desired look, I peeled off the masking tape and go to stamping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since we're keeping it simple, I set up all the stamps at one time in my MISTI and stamped them all with the same Hero Arts Intense Black ink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mounted the panel onto some fun foam for dimension, and adhered the whole thing down to an a2 sized card base to complete my card. </div>

The current class running over at <a href="http://onlinecardclasses.com/">onlinecardclasses.com</a> is Stamp Happy - which will be a series showcasing several different brands. This class is focused on Hero Arts, a personal favorite of mine (and I'm sure many). It was really fun learning some behind the scenes history of the company, and of course, techniques from the best. Here's my homework:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-64ga3lU84dg/XK8-J0FRhUI/AAAAAAAAukw/FLvdeHTDEcUtvVGnRzquo-Q6TXuohEnAgCLcBGAs/s1600/Thinking%2BOf%2BYou.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-64ga3lU84dg/XK8-J0FRhUI/AAAAAAAAukw/FLvdeHTDEcUtvVGnRzquo-Q6TXuohEnAgCLcBGAs/s640/Thinking%2BOf%2BYou.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not going to lie. I've never much liked wood stamps. But one thing is true. The stamp easier, cleaner and crisper with no need for repeat stamping. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There's a few different techniques we learned on Day 1. Some were refreshers of things I already knew, but Kristina Werner did have a little trick I'd never seen before. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't enrolled. I believe the price of the class is $16, a good value in my opinion. </div>

</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
But first an announcement!</h3>
<div>
I am SUPER excited to fill you in on a little secret I've been keeping! Today is my first post as a member of the <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/" target="_blank">A Blog Named Hero</a> design team! If you aren't familiar, A Blog Named Hero is the official challenge blog for <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/" target="_blank">Hero Arts</a>. There are fun challenges each month with great prizes, and month long Hero Arts inspiration from the DT! So be sure to head over and follow the blog if you don't already. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now onto the good stuff! There's still time left to enter the <a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/03/challenge-embossing/">current challenge</a>, a personal favorite of mine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ablognamedhero.com/2019/03/challenge-embossing/"><img alt="embossing" class="alignnone wp-image-12720" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/embossing.jpg" height="396" width="396" /></a></div>
For todays card I incorporated a little emboss resist into my background. If you're not familiar with emboss resist - It's the process of inking over heat embossing. The embossing resists the ink, leaving you with a crisp embossed image surrounded by inky fun.
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="BestWishes" class="alignnone wp-image-12896" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/BestWishes.jpg" height="600" width="600" /></div>
<br />
I started off with an a2 sized card front of smooth card stock for ink blending, and used a piece of post it tape to mark off where my ground would be. Before any inking, I stamped some floral images from the <a href="https://heroarts.com/products/cm240-wishing-well">Hero Arts Wishing Well</a> stamp set along the horizon line using a sticky embossing ink. After sprinkling on white embossing powder, I heat set everything until it was melted and smooth. I gave that a minute too cool and did some simple single color ink blending over top. When I have my blue sky the way I wanted it, I used a paper towel to wipe off the excess ink from the embossed images to reveal the crisp, white images.
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="BestWishes3" class="alignnone wp-image-12898" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/BestWishes3.jpg" height="398" width="600" /></div>
<br />
I moved my post it tape up so that I could now ink my grassy area. Once I was satisfied, I trimmed my card panel down to 4x5.25 and went to work on my wishing well.
I stamped the wishing well image in fade out ink to do some no line water coloring. I used zig real brush pens, but any watercolor medium would work for this.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="BestWishes2" class=" wp-image-12897 aligncenter" src="http://ablognamedhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/BestWishes2.jpg" height="398" width="600" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To finish I stamped my sentiment, again in sticky embossing ink, and heat set some Hero Arts Black embossing powder over top. Making sure thoroughly prep the surface with an anti-static powder tool, since I was embossing over potentially wet ink. Had I thought about it ahead of time I could've done an emboss resist here also, but wasn't sure of my sentiment placement at that time.
Lastly, I added some little nuvo drop accents to a few of the flower, and there you have it!
I can't wait to see all the gorgeous creations for this months challenge and look forward to some fun emboss resist projects too!</div>
