Quick Hello

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

Kendra here today to share a card with you!

This card features the lovely Medieval Stencil!!  I just LOVE Lisa and Danny's amazing stencils!!

I was so excited to try out the Deco Foil Transfer Gel!   I used the gel over the Medieval Stencil, let it dry for awhile.  Then placed the lovely purple foil on top, ran it through my die-cutting machine to apply pressure and then gently peeled away the transfer sheet!  What a beautiful design!!  I love how this card turned out!!  The shimmer/shine is so pretty!!

I also added some lovely die cut flowers from the Four Point Blooms Die set!  I added some lovely Mermaid Tails to the center of each of the flowers!!  Before I added the flowers to my card I placed some Green Sisal and then added my flowers above it!!

The 'A Quick Hello' sentiment is from the Ticker Phrases stamp set!

Have a lovely day!  

Nested Flag Card

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

Kendra here today to share a card with you!

I am so excited to share this project with you today using Lisa Horton Crafts products!

I am so excited for the fun new products!!

Here is a look at one of the first cards I made with some of the new products:

I love how it turned out!!

I used the new Nested Flags to create the fun shaped card base! Along with a few more layers!  The first layer was die cut from a piece of white cardstock!  I really liked the added white flag layer!  The next layer I die cut from a piece of new paper from the Bali Paper!! (I love the paper in this collection!!)  I cut another layer the same size from a piece of paper from the new Capri Paper, but trimmed some of the flag from the top and bottom, as I just waned half the piece, but still wanted the stitching on the side!  I put it on a purple matt.

Next I placed some fun Natural Sisal!! I have honestly never used this stuff and am now absolutely addicted to it!! It adds such a nice touch to projects!!  I love it!!  

Next, I added two Nested Banners, one from purple cardstock and one from a piece of Capri Paper!

I am in love with the new Mini Banner Alphabet set!  There are so many amazing possibilities with this die set!!  I could die cut sentiments all day!!  For this card I decided to add 'HI"!  I die cut the 'H' and 'I' from white cardstock and placed above silver glitter paper die cut banners.   I love that there is the added stitching on these tiny banners!! So cute!!

I die cut a few butterfly layers from the EdgeCutz Die - Butterfly Flourish set and added to the banners.

I finished the card off by adding s few flowers!  I used the new Four Point Blooms stamp set and coordinating Four Point Bloom Dies!  I stamped the flowers on vellum and embossed with a white embossing powder.  I then finished them off by adding some Mermaid Tails to the center!!

Have a lovely day!

Butterfly Hello

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

Kendra here today to share a card with you!

I am so excited to share my first project with you today using Lisa Horton Crafts products!

Tomorrow is the day!! Lisa will be on Create & Craft TV at 1pm UTC sharing her new products!!  They are sooooo amazing!!

I'm a huge sucker for butterflies, so I am very excited about the new EDGEcuts Collection Butterfly Flourish!!

I used the largest butterfly shadow from the set to die cut the window for this shaker card:

I then used the middle sized butterfly die to die cut from a piece of vellum.  I added to the center of the die cut shadow.  I really love the look!!  

I added some new pearls to the butterfly!!

I used the new Mermaid Tails: Lilac Set for the lovely glitter inside my shaker card!  I love the new Mermaid Tails!!!  Yummy!!

The designer paper used is from the new Capri paper set!

The stamped 'Hello' is part of thew new In The Loop stamp set!

Along with all the fun new products, I am also super excited about some fun new stencils coming soon!!!

I was going to get out some paste and created a fun background, but decided I wanted to keep it elegant and not take away from the butterfly, so I thought it would be fun to use the stencil to emboss my paper. These stencils are so thick and create an embossed background so beautifully!!

Here is a look at how to use the stencils to create an embossed background:

I used a Big Shot, so this may slightly be different between machines, I'm not sure.  But don't be afraid to experiment and have fun!!  That is exactly what I did!

Open the main plate to TAB 1 and place in your Big Shot, add a cutting pad, your stencil and then paper:

Then add your crease pad and another cutting pad:

Run it through your Big Shot!  
Use those muscles!! 

So easy and fun!!!

*Note I've learned from another crafter that if you lightly spritz the cardstock with water before running your sandwich through the Big Shot creates deeper embossing.  I did not do this with this piece, as I mentioned before these new stencils are made with really nice thick material and I didn't think I would need to spritz the cardstock. 

Here is a look at the cardstock:

How fun is that?!

So nice to have multiple uses for your supplies!  This new stencil I used is called Pennies in a Line!!

Have a lovely day!
