Kindred Stamps Galactic Desert Sexy Goddess card

Happy Anniversary to my husband, it's been 10 years.  I paid homage to the traditional tenth anniversary gift, tin.  I used the Tim Holtz Foundry embossing folder on some metallic card stock. I think any man of a certain age finds this image of the galactic princess from the epic sci fi story to be a turn on, I paired it with a sentiment that reflected such.

Another view.  It was hard to not get a pink reflection from my phone on the metallic dry embossed piece.  I used embossing powder and heat embossing on the sentiment.

I layered all the pieces in a silver mat.  The printed paper is from the Kindred Stamps Galactic paper stack. I mounted my colored image on pop dots.

It's too late to play along, however, I want to give credit to the card sketch I used from Sketch N Scrap.

Kindred Stamps Galactic Desert and Sexy Space stamps

Kindred Stamps Galactic Hunter with Gemini Fairytale Forest Create a card die set and Atlantic Hearts Sketch

Hello and welcome to my inspiration for Atlantic Hearts challenge sketch #514.  This card ended up being my husband's Valentine's card.  He loves this series.  I invested a lot of time creating this card.  It may not be apparent but I embossed each of the elements of the background forest.  I also used Distress Oxides to color the white of the card.

Here is the sketch:

This is the first layer of embossing.  Clear embossing ink with Distress Antique Linen embossing glaze.  This pen had a blue tint that did not disappear when embossed so the mushrooms did not turn out the color I anticipated.  From here on out I used the Marvy embossing pens in green and brown.

The next layer where the green trees.  They came out a bit darker than anticipated.  I always feel the first time using a new product needs a test run...and this card is just that for this die set.

Here's a close up of the characters and embossing.

and the little guy...

Cricut Mandalorian cards for Bitten By the Bug's Star Wars/Stars challenge

Welcome to the latest Bitten by the Bug 2's Star Wars or Stars challenge.  I had a lot of fun with this challenge.  I created an entire 8.5 x 11" page of galaxy background, so you are sure to see some more galaxy cards in the future.  For this first card, I popped a super cute cut of the child.  

Ingredients:

Cricut Star Wars Star Wars:  The Child cut

Distress Oxides: Black Soot, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin

Smooch vanilla shimmer mist

Kindred Stamps Galactic Sidekicks sentiment

misc papers

My second card is from another image set, Rise of Skywalker.  My husband wants this on a tee shirt.

Ingredients:

Cricut Rise of Skywalker cut

misc papers including chalkboard card stock

And my last card, I love it but it's not exactly as planned.  I know how to improve it, for one use green's instead of blues. I just went with the Cricut default colors because it looked sleek, but in reality I think it would have looked better in green shades.  I also used blue vellum, I just liked the color. 

After assembling the cut, I decided it would look really cool with light shining through. But how could light shine through on a card?  Well make the card out of acetate.  Here is a shot with the light behind the cut.  I stamped the sentiment in Staz-On because that is the ink that works on acetate.   

Ingredients:

Cricut Star Wars Star Wars:  The Child cut

Kindred Stamps Galactic Fighters sentiment

Midnight Blue Staz On ink

acetate, vellum, shimmer paper, chalkboard cardstock and other papers

black ink on edges
