Auzz Trinklets N Crafts ~ Rainbows

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting for the Auzz Trinklets N Crafts blog, I'm so honoured to be a part of Auzz Trinklets N Crafts Design Team and can't wait to show you my creations.

This month's theme is Rainbows and I have a cute colourful card to show you all.

~My Process~

First I used Poppy Crafts 210gsm Premium White Cardstock to cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front at 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches.

I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the circles from Lawn Fawn's "Let's Bokeh" with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Abandoned Coral, Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon). The Stamp Platform is amazing because it lets you stamp repeatedly in the same spot, which is fantastic when using Distress Inks in particular.

I stamped the bear from My Favorite Things "Friends Furever", the paintbrush and pail from Lawn Fawn's "Chirpy Chirp Chirp" and the little rainbow from My Favorite Things "Magical Unicorns" on to watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Tim Holtz Distress Inks are also great for watercolouring, which I did using a regular paintbrush. I added White Blizzard Nuvo Drops to the paint brush and the paint pail. To add dimension to the bear's eyes and nose I went over them with a black Sakura glaze pen.

Using the same watercolour paper, I cut the stitched square from Lawn Fawn's "Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up". I stamped 'YOU COLOR MY WORLD' from Lawn Fawn's "Starry Backdrops" in Versafine Onyx Black, then heat embossed it with WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder. To add some colour I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Wild Honey and Brushed Corduroy).

My card front was adhered to the base using an ATG gun. Art Glitter Clear Adhesive is great for attaching small pieces, like the paintbrush on to the bear's hand. I used X-Press It high tack foam tape to add dimension for the sentiment, bear, pail and rainbow.

Aquarium Shaker Card

Hi everyone,
I made this Aquarium shaker card for Nini's Things.

~My Process~

Firstly I cut my card base, coloured cardstock, watercolour piece and acetate with Nini's Things Designer Collection Dies (Rectangle Nesting Shapes and Stitched Borders) with my Sizzix Big Shot.

**The mustard yellow swirly line is the sized dies I used, so I hope it makes sense. Click on the images below to have a larger view.**

Once I cut out the sand and watercolour pieces, I used Tim Holtz Distress Stain in 'Broken China' for the water and 'Scattered Straw' for the sand. I spritzed water from my Distress Sprayer onto the watercolour piece for a under-watery kind of effect, heat set with my heat tool and then stamped Kaszazz's 'Bubbles Background' with Brilliance ink in 'Moonlight White' onto the water to add a bubble effect using the brand new Tim Holtz Stamp Platform.

I adhered the water piece to the card base and then stamped out "You're Fintastic!" from Lawn Fawn's 'Fintastic Friends' stamp set with Brilliance ink 'Graphite Black'.

Then I used Memento ink pad in Tuxedo Black to stamp out all of the images from Lawn Fawn's 'Fintastic Friends' and 'Mermaid For You' stamp sets onto X-Press It Blending Card. I cut them all out with my Brother Scan N Cut and then coloured them all in with Copic Ciao markers. The seaweed is a die from 'Mermaid for You', that I cut using my Sizzix Big Shot and coloured in with a Copic Ciao marker.

After I coloured all the images I then adhered them to the water piece and onto the sand. I adhered the sand to the back of the border frame and then added the acetate to it. I doubled up Scotch Foam Tape so the shaker mix won't clump and get stuck, and added it to the card base/water piece and carefully on the back of the acetate where the sand is.

I used a tiny spoonful of Nini's Things shaker mix in 'Ocean Breeze' and carefully took out the flower sequins leaving the pretty shimmery blues. I then used the EK Success powder tool around the edges of the foam tape so the sequins wouldn't get stuck to it and then I adhered the acetate piece to the card base.

Magical Unicorn Shaker Card

Hi everyone,
I made this Magical Unicorn shaker card for Nini's Things.

~My Process~

Firstly I cut my card base and coloured cardstock at 3 1/2" by 3 1/2" then I cut out the centre of the coloured cardstock so it would be a border frame at 1/2" all around.

I then used Memento ink pad in Tuxedo Black to stamp out the unicorn and the stars from Kindred Stamps 'Magical Unicorns' stamp set onto X-Press It Blending Card and to stamp out "(I believe in you)" from Lawn Fawn's 'Believe in Yourself' stamp set onto the coloured cardstock border frame.

I coloured the unicorn and stars with Copic Ciao markers and then used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out all my coloured images. I used Memento's pen in Tuxedo Black to touch up the stars edges and added Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen in (Clear) to add some shine and also used Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen (Black) to add dimension to the unicorn's eyes as well as Wink of Stella brush pen (Clear) to add some sparkle.

I made my shaker pouch with a heavy weight A4 sheet protector and made it slightly larger than my border frame center, I used the WRMK Fuse Tool to seal in the shaker mixes from Nini's Things (Mermaid Scales and Springtime).

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Milled Lavender) with a blending foam onto the card base. I then adhered the shaker pouch to the back of the border frame with Ranger Wonder Tape and then adhered the shaker and frame to the card base with Scotch Foam Tape.
I adhered the stars with Ranger Glossy Accents and used Ranger Wonder Tape to adhere the unicorn to the centre of the card on top of the shaker pouch.
