Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection for Dies R Us

Hello, and welcome to my blog today.  I have used dies from the Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection  to make this 5" x 5" square card.  I used coordinating papers to create a cohesive ensemble.

Here is the card base with all the cut layers prior to assembly.

I purposefully cut the oval backing piece with the heart showing through the "window".  This lent itself perfectly to the die cut sentiment from the same paper collection.

I used pop dots for the sentiment and the center oval section.

Ingredients:

Sue Wilson Indonesian Collection - background

and

Quick Quotes Papers and sentiment

glue and pop dots

Steampunk Hello for Dies R Us

Hi there, today I created a rainbowish background with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Tim Holtz Yupo Paper.  I had so much fun playing with the inks.  I used a straw to blow around the inks.  I let most of the alcohol dry then burnished some scrap foil over the piece.  

Foil stays on the wet area usually where the ink puddles.  

I used metallic paper to die cut the steampunk butterfly and gears.  I added various gems to the center of the gears.  You can really see the burnished foil in this photo.

I used a double stitched rectangle die to create a frame from black glossy card stock for a real pop.

Finnabair Trust the Magic with Dies R Us

Hello, I used several techniques to create this magical card.  I used a new stamp offering from the store, Finnabair Trust the Magic. First, I used Distress Oxide ink and a stencil to create a subtle background.  Then I stamped the image with black pigment ink and embossed with Ranger Embossing Powder-Bridal Tinsel.  I know you expect that powder to create a subtle sparkle and it's there but when you use black ink to begin the effect is a bit different.

 

Here's a side view where you can see the embossing from a another angle.  It's still hard a little hard to see the iridescent sparkle.

After the background was created, I die cut the frame and embellishments.  I used Elizabeth Craft Designs Dotted Scallop Squares to make a frame.  I was left with a beautiful scalloped square that I will use on another project.  I cut the Sue Wilson Industrial Chic Swirl just once in gold. I cut that one piece into several parts and adhered to the back of the frame which I popped up on dots to create dimension on my card.  This photo actually shows a bit of the iridescent embossing.

Memory Box Mini Gears is just one die which makes it easy to cut a lot.  I used it twice once in gold and once in pewter to compliment the inking.  I sprinkled those gears around the card.  I used a couple of different gems and stickers to fill in some of the centers of the gears.

One last look at my stamped image.  I also used the stamp set on some purple paper scraps and tore the edges.  After I inked the edges, I tucked those pieces into the corners that did not have as many die cuts.

I used the following products from the store:

Finnabair Trust the Magic

Elizabeth Craft Designs Dotted Scallop Squares

Sue Wilson Industrial Chic Swirl

Memory Box Mini Gears

Ranger Embossing Powder-Bridal Tinsel

Distress Oxide Dusty Concord ink

Tim Holtz Stencil

I also used 

Black Pigment ink

metallic and other specialty paper

Ranger Distress Coordinations paper

gems, stickers and a bingo token

Alcohol Ink Background with Silver Foiling for Dies R Us

Hello dear readers. This was my very first attempt with Alcohol inks and yupo paper.  I admit the first time I tried alcohol inks I was not at all impressed with the result.  I also didn't own any yupo paper. I put them away for years.  I recently saw some of the lovely backgrounds, watched a video or two and decided my poor result previously was from not using ALL the appropriate supplies.  So I ordered yupo paper and a few new ink colors.  Needless to say I was much more impressed with the results this time around.

I used a very basic straw technique to move the ink around and didn't dilute them very much resulting in vibrant colors.  I also used scrap foiling on the slightly wet background to create the silver layer in the background. I simply burnished left over pieces over the top. When there is a lot of ink still not completely dried the foil sticks.

 

I layered my metallic cuts on black card stock cuts to strengthen the them and created a three dimensional effect.  I also cut and emboss to get all the details from the dies.

From the side you can see how the cuts pop on the surface and the beauty of all the silver foil highlights.

I used a Frantic Stamper stitched rectangle die that is no longer available to create my frame.  I linked a very similar Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle that you could use to create this same frame.  I used very strong tape to keep the alcohol ink background panel on the thin framed card.  I wanted to show off as much of the background as possible.
