“See Ya Later ... Alligator”

Reilly had a birthday party to go today, and being 12 {well he’s actually 12 going on 14 on Tuesday!!!}, the card needed to be “cool”, hence the Alligator from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set “See Ya Later” and the croc from the “Zoo Babies” stamp set seemed perfect.

My new stamp “Hardwood” has just arrived and I have used it in two projects today, I think it has now become my favourite!

Stamped in “Crumb Cake” on the front of the card, it gave a neat background to the snappy alligator!

I have seen many crafters replicate the alligator using the Petite Pennants Builder punch, so I can not give credit back to the original artist – sorry.

Punched in my favourite colour Old Olive, I also used the Old Olive to stamp the croc from the “Zoo Babies” stamp set, and the words “Yippee-Skippee” from you guessed it … the “Yippee-Skippee!” stamp set!

Now back to the croc, I gave it some googly eyes and gnashing teeth (in Whisper White) to make it seem more scary!

The birthday wishes are also from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set “See Ya Later”, and the Stampin’ Makers used are Old Olive, Tangerine Tango and Real Red.

Stamped on to Naturals White, and cut using the Chalk Talk Framelits, layered and adhered to Old Olive cardstock, and then dimensional’d.

A Candy Dot in Old Olive completes the card and anchors the corner.

On the inside of the card, and cut from Old Olive, I have used my favourite “Top Note” Bigz Die to make a pocket for the gift voucher, and added a Pin Wheel for added fun!

Also on the inside of the card and stamped in Crumb Cake is the “Gorgeous Grunge” stamp set.

So {hopefully} this card is totally grunge and way cool dude!!!

”Watercolour Wonder” Gift Voucher and Matching Card …

My Digital Studio Gift Voucher and Matching Card …

Soooo exciting … got my first lead through the Stampin’ Up! “DBWS” Demonstrator Business Web Services …

A lovely lady called and requested a gift voucher for her Mom’s birthday, so I attempted to create a {not to shabby I might add!!!} gift voucher using the My Digital Studio software.

I downloaded the DSP (Designer Series Paper)”Watercolour Wonder”, and used this as a base for the gift voucher, and also printed a sheet onto Naturals White to use in the matching card.

I used the Circle Card Framelits, and cut the cardstock flowers side down, I added an xtra length to the cardstock to create the flap in front.

My new stamp “Hardwood” has just arrived and I have used it in two projects today, I think it has now become my favourite!

Stamped in “Basic Gray” on the inside of the card, and when the Vellum was layered over top, it created a lovely muted tone.

I purchased Soda Pop Tops {or recycle beer bottle tops} from my local supermarket, you can get around 100 for NZ$5.

Flatten in the Big Shot, and remove seal.

Punch a 1" 2.5cm circle from the printed ”Watercolour Wonder” on Naturals White cardstock.

Use the “Crystal Effects” to adhere to the Soda Pop Top, and then fill in the Soda Pop Top with more Crystal Effects and leave to dry for 12 hours.

You will be left with a really glossy effect, and this technique would be perfect for making a Sun.

I ♥ the “Rock and Roll” technique, and used it on the flowers, with my “Mixed Bunch” stamp set …

1) Ink stamp on light-coloured ink pad {I used Daffodil Delight}.

2) Press edges of stamp in rolling motion on darker ink pad {Tangerine Tango}, being careful not to ink the centre of stamp.

Tip:

Always use the lightest coloured ink first to avoid getting dark ink on your light ink pad.

To make the Vellum really pop, whilst ink is still wet (I used my “Daffodil Delight” Stampin’ Pad}, sprinkle with embossing powder {“Iridescent Ice”}, and heat set with Heat Tool.

Wah-lah, you can now make any coloured embossing powder!
