I just love that cream can, flowers and that Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder really creates a WOW background. And don't get me started on how much I am loving the Shimmer Paints! I will be hear all day waxing lyrical about how great it it lol

It's probably a little hard to tell, but I have used Shimmer Paint over the Cream Can  to highlight the lighter areas. It really shines IRL just like a real metal Cream Can.

I have used Shimmer Paint over the Chicken Wire, behind the cream can and flowers and also on the cream can itself.
The technique I used for the Bright Copper Shimmer Paint behind the silver Cream Can is one I was taught recently by Clare Langsford in Tasmania for Tasmanian demonstrators.
It is such a simple technique and involves scrunched Glad Wrap and just a drop of Shimmer Paint! Dip the scrunched Glad Wrap into the drop of shimmer paint  a few times and dollop it onto the card stock. Totally love the effect!

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Every Second Sunday) Darling Label Punch Box

Hello Everyone 😊
Welcome back to the Stamping Sunday DT blog hop (every second Sunday).
We are focusing our design skills today on the Darling Label Punch Box.

I have to admit I did struggle with this gorgeous boxed set at first.
I got it out and left it sitting on my desk for over a week! I just had to think about how I could use this in a way that was useful and striking. I thought about inlays, repeat backgrounds, colours, and then it struck me. What about a male orientated design!
I always get asked why I don't do more male themed designs, and to be honest it is only because I give cards to the men in my life one third the amount of times that I do my female family and friends.

So that is where I started.

Here is my project.

 I decided on a gift set of cards that can be given to the man in your life. Now he will always be prepared for those times in his life when an important date may have slipped his mind 😉

Happy Birthday

#KOCreationsCards #BestRoute #DarlingLabelPunchBox #MaleCards #GiftSet #MaleGiftIdeas #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

For this gift set I used the Best Route DSP that is currently available from the annual catalogue. I paired it with the Grapefruit Grove ribbon and Night of Navy card stock (card bases). I stamped all the sentiments in the Night Of Navy ink that comes in the boxed set.

To keep these little cards together I decorated a Pizza Box using the same DSP and ribbon and popped them all inside with some Very Vanilla note card sized envelopes..

#KOCreationsCards #BestRoute #DarlingLabelPunchBox #MaleCards #GiftSet #MaleGiftIdeas #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

When I had finished I was once again kind of at a loss.
Then I got my delivery of Pre-Order items from the new Holiday Catalogue (one of the perks of being a demo) and in it was the STUNNING embossing folder that I just fell in love with called the 'Tin Tile Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder' (147906).

As soon as I lifted it out of the packing box I knew I just had to pair it with the Darling Label Punch Box.

Here is that project.

Thanks

#KOCreationsCards #TinTileTIEF #HolidayCatalogue2018 #DarlingLabelPunchBox #Grunge #TinTile #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

I also embossed a scrap piece of Silver Foil and grunged it up using Black Stazon ink.
The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on Melon Mambo. Melon Mambo card stock has also been used for the card base.

Want to give this card a try?

Here are the basic instructions.

Items required.

• Darling Label Punch Box
• Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF
• 1 x A4 card stock (your choice of colour) cut in half length ways and scored and folded in half. This gives you your card base @ 14.9cm x 10.5cm. Keep the other side for the underlay and sentiment piece.
• 1 x A4 Thick Whisper White card stock. 1 piece cut at 9.5cm x 14cm (inside layer), 2 x 14.5ccm x 10.2cm (card front layer and embossed card front) 
• White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy and Heat Tool
• Scrap piece of Silver Foil card stock.
• Black Metallic Thread.
• Copper trim.
• Metallic Brads
• Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

How to.

• Emboss the Thick White card stock after spritzing lightly with water. 
• Then ink up a sponge brayer using Melon Mambo and roll on a light covering. 
• Repeat that step with the black memento ink. I think it still needs some more grunge, don't you?
• So wipe the versamark ink pad across the surface, very lightly (hit and miss) and sprinkle Silver Embossing powder over the top. 
• Tap of the excess and heat. 
• Glue it to a layer of Melon Mambo card stock and punch out the shapes using the label punch. 
• Place the pieces onto a layer of Thick Whisper white and glue into position 
• Measure and cut the edges to fit your card layer 
• Add three different sized brads to the circles on the card front.
• Glue the whole thing to the Melon Mambo card base
• Emboss the scrap piece of Silver Foil.
• Grunge it up with Stazon black ink.
• Add some Metallic Brads to the ends of the embossed foil.
• Dust a piece of Melon Mambo card stock with the Embossing Buddy then Stamp the sentiment in versamark, sprinkle with embossing powder, tap of excess and heat till glossy.
• Punch the sentiment out using the Label Punch.
• Add a small length of Copper trim to the bottom of the grunged and embossed Silver Foil piece.
• Add the Metallic Thread under the sentiment and adhere to the silver foil elements.
