Shopping Our Stash Challenge #463:My Heart BEETs for You
Hello all! Today we have another fun challenge over at the Shopping Our Stash Challenge Blog--using hearts or veggies or both. We would love it if you join us for this challenge (#463). In true Shopping Our Stash fashion, I went shopping and found a neglected stamp set and some patterned paper that needed some attention to make some Valentine's for my kids and a niece.
Supplies used:
- Stamps: Lawn Fawn's Let's Toast stamp set
- Dies: Lawn Fawn's Let's Toast die set, 3 stitched rectangular dies in my stash, thin sentiment strip die in my stash
- Ink: Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink, Catherine Pooler's Pixie Dust and Aquatini ink
- Markers: Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
- Sakura Clear Glitter Gelly Roll Stardust Bold Point Pen
- Paper: Watercolor paper, patterned paper in my stash
- Embossing Powder: Ranger's Holographic embossing powder
- Gansai Tambi's Starry Colors watercolor set
- Sequins: Catherine Pooler's Providence and Blackfoot River sequin mixes
- Washi tape
- Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape
- Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue
Card #1: You're the Avocado To My Toast
So my youngest kid LOVES avocado toast (plus we live in hipster Portland, Oregon), so this seemed appropriate for them. The images and sentiment all came from the Let's Toast stamp set from Lawn Fawn, which were stamped with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink on watercolor paper and heat embossed them with Ranger's Holographic embossing powder. The images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. After coloring the toaster, I added some white gold watercolor from the Gansai Tambi's Starry Colors watercolor set mixed with more Light Gray Zig marker and watercolored over it. After everything had dried, the images were die cut with their corresponding dies and the sentiment was die cut using a thin sentiment strip from my stash.
The background panels were created by using three differently sized stitched rectangular dies in my stash to cut out three differently sized pieces of patterned paper as well as two additional pieces of scratch cardstock with each of the dies. Each piece of patterned paper was glued to two additional pieces of scrap cardstock die cut with the same die so that there is some dimension behind the panel, and all three panels were glued together so there are 9 pieces of paper glued together!
To assemble the card, a die cut meant to create slots in the toaster for toast was used and a piece of toast was inserted in the slot. A piece of washi tape was used to help keep the toast and toaster together while gluing both onto the card panel. Next, a small pieces of Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape were used to attach the avocado and butter to the card. The knife was then glued onto the panel next to the avocado. The sentiment strip was cut to allow for two lines on the card, and then I used my Catherine Pooler Aquatini stamp pad to directly add ink around the edges of the sentiment strips. They were both attached to the card panel with more of the foam tape. Sequins from Catherine Pooler's Blackfoot River sequin mix were glued onto the card. Some light blue residual ink was ink blended onto the edge of the base layer of the card panel. Finally, the whole panel was glued onto a kraft A2-sized top-folding cardbase.
Card #2: You're the Peanut Butter to My Jelly
And this third card again was made in a similar fashion as the other two. Some purple washi tape and purple/white washi tape was added behind the sentiment. For a little extra sparkle, Sakura Clear Glitter Gelly Roll Stardust bold point pen was used to color over the pink and purple parts of the pop tarts. Before adding the toaster to the card panel, two additional pieces die cut scrap cardstock were glued behind the toaster.
We hope that you are able to join us for our challenge over at Shopping Our Stash and thanks for reading!
as the east coast's foremost fan of avocado toast, i am naturally enchanted by this; as a paper crafter, of course i also admire how beautifully the images are stamped, colored and combined to make an awesome card! ♥
