Heartcraft Paper Gryffindor Magnetic Bookmark

Hi everyone,

Today I am showing you my second creation that I made for Heartcraft Paper design team to show you all! Click on each image for a much larger and clearer view. 😊

It was pretty fun and easy to make so I'm here to tell you all the details on how to make your own one for yourself or anyone who is a fan of a certain book and movie series. 😜

Now lets see how I made it!

First I chose the digital stamp I wanted to use "Gryffindor Crest" and cropped and resized it to about 3 inches or 3.15 inches tall on Word document and then printed it onto some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copic markers.
After a couple of days of letting the ink set on the X-Press It Blending Card I grabbed the following Copic markers to colour in "Gryffindor Crest" image (E21, E33, E35, E59, Y17, R29, YG03, C3 and C5). I used a refillable black ink Copic Multiliner SP pen in the size 0.3mm to carefully colour in the diamonds and the Gryffindor letters.

I used a scrap piece of the diamond check pattern digital scrapbook paper from my first creation which you can find HERE that is sold by WickedSpiritFashion on Etsy which you can find HERE.

I used it to cut a piece at 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches which will be the bookmark flap.

I then used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the "Gryffindor Crest" with a 0.04" offset and cut out another silhouette version from the scrap piece of diamond check pattern digital scrapbook paper to go on the back of the main version which I coloured in as I thought it would look much nicer than having to see the markers stain/bleed.

I then used some Tombow Mono Liquid Adhesive on the main piece and flap and once I was happy with the position of it I then glued the diamond check piece onto the back of the main piece and flap.

I used my 5 inch Xyron Creative Station Lite and the Double Sided Laminate refill cartridge to laminate the whole thing. I love using this because you can cut right onto the edge of the image and it won't lift off the image like a regular electrical powered laminator does, you don't need to cut so far away from the image if that makes sense.

After cutting around the whole thing I then cut out two 1 inch by 1 1/2 inches pieces of Silhouette Adhesive Magnet Paper and then let the magnets line up on one another. I removed the adhesive backing on one side and added some Ranger Multi Medium Matte just for extra strength and lined it up where I wanted the piece and pressed the flap down onto it and then I carefully removed the other magnet adhesive backing and did the same thing and let it dry.

And voila! You have your very own "Gryffindor Crest" magnetic bookmark which you can use as a bookmark in a book, in your planner, or mark an important page for work or school so you can access that page easily and it shouldn't leave any nasty marks like a regular paperclip does and won't fall out or off like a regular bookmark. 😊

Heartcraft Paper Blog Hop and Challenge #1

Hi everyone,

Wow! It sure has been a while since I have posted to the blog. I am so excited to share with you all my very first creation for Heartcraft Paper's Blog Hop and Anything Goes Challenge. I was so excited when Monica, the owner of Heartcraft Paper contacted me for a full time spot on the Design Team!

Now let's have a look at what I made! 😊

Now for how I made it and what awesome things I used to make it! 😊

First I chose the digital stamp I wanted to use "Wesley" and resized it and altered the sentiment "HAVE A MAGICAL BIRTHDAY" from the "Wizarding Sentiments" digital sentiment set by adding the sparkles from another sentiment in the "Wizarding Sentiments" set and then printed it onto some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copic markers.

After a couple of days of letting the ink set on the X-Press It Blending Card I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base.

I then found and bought this awesome digital printable scrapbook paper set from WickedSpiritFashion on Etsy which you can find HERE. I printed that on some random Australian sized A4 210gsm white cardstock that was lying in my craft room. I used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut the diamond check pattern paper with My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle STAX Set 2 die (4" x 5 1/4").

I started to colour in "Wesley" with the following Copic marker colours (E21, E37, E41, E59, 100, C3, C5, C7, Y17, YR04, YR15 and R29) and the car with (Y00, 100, B000, C3, C5, C7, BG72, BG93 and YR07).

I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out "Wesley" and the car and cut out a plain white silhouette version with the offset tool 0.08" to make the image 'POP' and then I used my Sizzix Big Shot again this time with My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags STAX and altered it to become a stitched rectangle.

I then adhered everything onto the card base with Art Glitter clear adhesive.

Sasayaki Glitter ~ Guest Designer Project Share ~ Home Sweet Home ~ March 2018

 

Hi everyone,  

I'm so excited to announce that I am a Guest Designer for Sasayaki Glitter for March 2018. When Naz contacted me and asked if I'd like to guest design for this month I was so happy and said yes, of course. 😛  

Today I am showing you all my project that I made using Sasayaki Glitter's digital stamps. I've used Janet's Fairy House and Bunny Family for this card. 😊

 

I created this cute card that has the sentiment of "Home Sweet Home" which can be a card for new home owners or for anyone who's moving in to a new house, a welcome home for a newborn baby, an ill family member or friend or for a soldier who's returned back home.

AVSC ~ Guest Designer 3rd Project Share ~ Love and Art ~ February 2018

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to show you my third and final project that I made for this month of "Love and Art" for Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft! 😊

I apologise for the terrible photo quality. 😞 No video today, but I have a lot of photos to show you all.

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch and scored and folded at 4 1/4 inch.

 

I then cut out the background at 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch and I used 2 rectangle dies to cut out the frame ( 4 1/8 x 5 3/8" and 3 1/2 x 4 3/4" ) which is a die set called A2 Rectangle STAX Set 1 made by My Favorite Things. I used Crate Paper's Heart Day Dreamy patterned paper for the background and frame.

 

I cut out some acetate for the shaker window at 4 by 5 1/2 inch.

 

I used some 1/4 inch Scor Tape to adhere the background onto the card base and the acetate window behind the frame.

 

 

 

I added some 3D Foam Strips to the back of the frame and went around the inside edges with my EK Success powder tool to remove the stickiness so my sequins won't get stuck to the sides.

 

I added some pretty iridescent sequins in pink and green and then adhered the frame onto the card base.

 

I used Scor Tape to adhere the cute pair of pears which is from Crate Paper's Main Squeeze ephemera pack.

I decided to add some shimmer to the tiny love hearts, pears cheeks and leaves with my Wink of Stella clear brush pen.

And here is the finished card! 😄
