Designer Challenge-- Nikki Foraker

Hello,

It is time for another designer challenge over at My Creative Time. Miss Nikki Navy Wife is leading it this time. The challenge is to use embossing either wet or dry or both.

 

Here is my project:

For this project this picture does not do it justice.I have got to set up a place to take pictures. I will try to explain my process.  I started out with an A2 sized card the gray cs is cut 4 1/6 x 5 5/16 and the blue cs is cut at 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. The blue cs is core'dinations paper and I embossed it with an old sizzix embossing plate also sanded it.  I embossed the butterflies with white embossing powder on water color paper.  I used broken china distress ink over the butterflies.(used a kraft sheet for this process and then I distressed the edges)  I stamped Thinking of you from MCT Floral Sentiments stamp set and embossed it also. The hearts are MCT dies which I cut with the scrap watercolor paper with the distressed ink.

Thanks,

Link up Party

Hello,

Emma over at My Creative Time is having a link up party.  She wants to see what everyone has created with her latest release.  Here are some things I have created.

 This card is a 4 x 4with the lower edges rounded. I stitched the hearts on a piece of cs 2 1/8 x 2 1/2 and then popped it up. The sentiment is from an older set by MCT 100% Sweetness.

This card is a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 one.

This is an A2 sized card. I used all of the heart dies on this card and the sentiment is from MCT 100% Sweetness.

New Vision Embossing Video

Hello and welcome to another video in my series. In this video I use a beautiful heart embossing folder to create this card. I also used a tag cuttlebug die e and I stamped it with a MCT Stamp. The back ground is embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. I finished it off with some ribbon and sanding (I used the core'dinations card stock). I don't think I ever used this folder and I have had it for a long time. It was fun to get it out especially this time of year but you could also use this for wedding, anniversary or other card.

  Here is my video:

Monday Challenge #84 - Wish Big!

Hello Everyone,

Well over at My Craft Spot with Kimberly this week the challenge is Wish Big! (anything birthday). I love making birthday cards it always seems like I need one. Well here is my card:

To start off my card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/2. The pink layer is cut 4 1/16 x 4 5/16 and the kraft is cut 3 3/8 x 3 5/8. I cut the image from the cricut cart Love you a Latte. I cut it at 3.5 inches and all pieces were cut in white. I do this sometimes it really makes cutting fast. Then I usually use my copics. This was a great image for this process (I don't recommend doing this for large pieces) Here are the colors I used. (E35, RV13, RV25, R46, G24, & E29) I used glossy accents on the top layer for the caramel sauce. My sentiment is from My Craft Spot Birthday Wishes. The banner is from MCT.

Thanks,
