# Two of Three

BEST WISHES pocket card

Hi again, Second eye candy for you today......
This is a card, you will want to make more than one.......you will be wanting to keep one for the  trophy self.


This week, I tried a new card stock.....and am falling in love with it!. I got the tip from my fellow DT at Heartfelt Creations, Lizz...a real sweetheart...and does great crafting. You will be seeing a lot more of this pearl card stock with the Heartfelt Creations products on my postings. I think the two make a great marriage...what does not with the Heartfelt Creations product ?

Heartfelt Creations Products And Products Sold On Our Website:

Other Products Used: Card Stock: Crafters Companion Cuntura Pearl snow white- hint of gold A4. Ranger: Stickles, Heat Gun, Water Coloring Brush, Water Mister, Ink foam tool. Gold embossing powder, Bone folder. Glimmer Mist: Olive Vine, Flower Power, Coral Reef, Caramel Apple, Patina. Spellbinder dies: S2-082 Sentiments one, S5-201 Curved Boarders Two. Other: Double sided tape, Seam binding ribbon, 3 Pearl beads, Versa-mark, Fussy Cutting Scissors, Double sided Tape

Instructions: The finished size of this pocket card is 11.9 cm x 20.5 cm
To make the Pocket: Taking the card stock, cut the pocket back 13.5 cm x 16.5 cm. Make folds at 1.5 cm along the 16.5 cm edge and one on the 11.9 cm edge. This will be the gluing tabs. Cut into the ends to miter the corners. Sharpen these folds with the bone folder. Cut a card front. 11.5 cm x 15.5 cm and cut the center out leaving a 1.5 cm edge on three sides. Giving the card a U shape. Adhere this to the pocket tabs. This will cover the mitering in the corners. To make the frame, stamp the frame image with the gold embossing powder. Color with the glimmer mists, die cut the image using the matching die. 


Cut the clear card stock to fit and adhere at the outer part of the frame with double sided tape. ( You can see the clear card stock in this photo of the completed card.) This will stop the card catching on the leaves as it slides in and out. Alien and adhere to the front of the pocket.
Stamp twice the wood and butterfly image from the Berries and Peaches stamp set, using gold embossing powder. Fussy cut the image complete and the other fussy cut the peaches. Color with the glimmer mists. Shape and ball, using the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit. Color the seam binding ribbon with one of the matching glimmer mist colors. Make a triple bow. Cut a slot large enough for the ribbon on both sides of the peaches on the wood from the complete fussy cut image. Adhere the wood image to the front of the frame. This will cover the flowers in the frame. Adhere the ribbon across and around the pocket, placing the ends into the cut slots. Adhere the fussy cut peaches to the peach image. Adhere the triple bow to the side under the leaves. 


Stamp, die cut, color and shape the flowers and leaves. One flower for the pocket, two flowers for the card. Add a pearl to the center of the flowers. Adhere one of the flowers and leaves to the flower shape in the frame above the center circle. 


The placement of the flowers are to the left.


Stamp the banner image, masking the sentiment on the stamp. Fussy cut the image then color with the glimmer mists. Die cut and adhere the sentiment to the banner. Adhere the banner to the right. Adhere the flowers and leaves to the left. The placement will allow the card to slide in and out and the flowers will stop just above the pocket top. To finish add stickles to the pearls, sentiment and butterfly.


The insert card tab has been left plain. Although you could stamp further on it, it will show through the clear card stock. A suggestion is, you could write, stamp on the reverse side of the card tab 

This was a sure fun card to make...I loved working with this card stock. As you can see it colours fantasticly well with this sold faithful glimmer mists. Now if you all have used your stash up...but I don't believe it. I am sure everyone has a few colours in the bottom of the draws....who knows????
This week three cards posted. Yip....I got carried away this week. Had fun doing it too.
Inky hugs and scrappy thoughts.

Beautiful Moments With You layout

Hi! 

It is my favorite day of the week again - Wednesday posting at Heartfelt Creations!

And here is my creation this week:


Heartfelt Creations Products and Products sold on our Website: 

 Other Products Used: The Crafter's Workshop Masks: TCW 437, TCW 457; Derwent Intense water color pencils: (leaves) Leaf green 1600, (twigs) Willow 1900, Bark 2000, (flowers) Fuchsia 0700, Chilli Red 0500, Sun Yellow 0200, (bird and water) Iris Blue 0900, (bird house) Baked Earth 1800. Ink: Archival Black, Versa fine crimson red, Versa fine vintage sepia. Glimmer Mist: Olive Vine, Burnt Red, Pink Bubblegum. Other: Gesso, Sponge, Chipboard, Distress tool, Prima Marketing E. Line stones x 2, fussy cut scissors, Galeria Iridescent medium, spatula, heat gun 

This layout is not easy for a beginner so please, refer to the photo often for guidance, as to where and how placement of the embellishments should be. The layout is a standard size of 30 cm x 30 cm. The photo size is 9.1 cm x 15 cm. Find the pink design paper from the Birds and Blooms Paper Collection. With Archive black ink, the stamp Birds and Blooms Collage Set, stamp the background. Stamp the image a few times so the stamping will show from under the layering later. 


Using the gesso and sponge apply the gesso, spreading from out the center to the sides. This gives a darker to light effect. When dry, bring on the texture with the masks, iridescent medium and a spatula. When using masks and mediums, be careful not to smudge between extending a pattern and layering on your work. It takes time and patience but it is better in the long run, to let it dry between the layers. I always like to air dry rather than heat dry mediums. When the medium is totally dry, spray liberally glimmer mist to the right and left center of the page, forming puddles. Tilt the page so the mist puddles will form running drip lines, let them run to the bottom of the page. Repeat again, but tilting the page so the drip runs in the opposite direction. If needed, with your lips, blow to direct and help the movement of the flow. 


To speed up the drying process you can use the heat gun. Don't panic, the mediums and heat will curl and wrinkle the paper. To correct this and to enable the paper to support the weight of the goodies that will later be added, cut 30 cm x 30 cm from the chipboard. Glue the paper to the chipboard. Wet glue will allow a small time frame to enable you to move and straighten the paper to fit the chipboard. Place the paper towel over the board, with the Brayer firmly roll over the board to flatten away all wrinkles and bumps not wanted. 

In the Paper Pad you will find the card frames with lightly printed out line images for coloring in. Select two of these frames. To stamp the images onto the frames use the Versa Fine Crimson ink and the following stamps: HCPC 3648 Home Sweet Home, the image of the bird and birdhouse, HCPC 3647 Hydrangea Bird Bath, the image of the birds on the birdbath. Color the stamped images in with the watercolor pencils and brush. Attach the frames to the layout with Double Dots


Prepare the photo by backing it with chipboard. Attach this also to the layoutt with Double Dots. Look to the photo for an idea of where to position the frames and photo. 

To make the blooms and embellishments for this layout, start by using the HCPC 3644 Birds and Blooms, the blooms on a branch and 6 single blooms stamp. Stamp the images onto watercolor paper 3 times each, color in with the Derwent watercolor pencils and water brush. Then die cut them with the matching die. Ball and shape with the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and  Paper Blossom Molding Mat


For the larger blooms, use the HCPC 3608 Arianna Blooms Set and HCD 748 Arianna Blooms die and die cut enough for 3 large, 3 small blooms plus 1 bud. Spray the stamped die cuts with the burnt red and pink bubblegum glimmer mist. Shape and ball the blooms using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and  Mat


For the twigs use HCPC 3645 Leafy Branch Set and HCD1 757 Leafy Branch die . Cut 2 long twigs and 1 short twig. As above stamp, die cut, color and ball the images. The 2 butterflies are taken from the HCPC 3649 Birds and Blooms Collage Set. Ink up only the butterfly image of the stamp with vintage sepia ink. Stamp twice to make two butterflies. Color in the image with watercolor pencils then fussy cut. 


Now for the real fun part, that is, putting it all together! Start first with the large Arianna Blooms, using Double Dots and wet glue, attach the 3 large blooms in their place. From now on, only wet glue will be used to attach all embellishments. Placement of the twigs: cut the short twig in two, place and glue down under and to the right side of the frame, on the right side of the layout. Place one of the small Arianna blooms under this frame and next to the photo. 


For the 2 long twigs, one is placed above the frame on the left of the layout, the remaining twig, place on the right of the same frame, under the photo. Place one of the small Arianna blooms and the bud on top of the twig and next to the large bloom. Place and attach the branch and bloom die cuts. Use two cuts for the top left corner, one tuck under the bloom on the right and the other lay on top of the left corner of the photo, draping over the bloom and down on to the frame. Place the remaining Arianna bloom in the center point of the branch. 

For the lower left side cluster, place the branch on the frame draping one of the branches up onto the photo. Now glue all the small single blooms onto the bloom image on the branches. Put a spot of glue here and there on the back of the leaves to attach. But do not do this too much, or you will lose the 3-D effect. Place the two butterflies to the lower right of the Lay Out. Take the E. designer stones from the packet and cut to look like leaves. Take off the plastic backing and put in place as shown in the photo. Add 3-D Crystal Lacquer  to the bird on the birdhouse and to the single flower centers. To finish add Stickles to the butterflies.

I hope I've inspired you to try this! 
Any questions, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Summer Fun card

Two days ago was our card making day here in the Netherlands, so my post today had to be a card.
This card sure was a delight to make.


Because the placement of writing on the tabs and the butterflies, this makes it possible to have the card standing or laying, as above. This would be determent by the way you write your message on the inside of the card.


Stamps from Heartfelt Creations are used to make the 3 roses. All three rose's are different sizes. Stamp and cut x 6 for each rose. I first stamped on white paper then sprayed with Glimmer Mist to give them the fantastic soft orange/apricot color. 
It is a shame you can not see it in the photo's, but the roses have a gold shimmer to them, which is what makes glimmer mist so great.
There is so much more of this yummy sort of mists on the market now, but I need to use up the stash I already have...
(I think we all have a bit of this luxury problem?)..haha..
The stamp used is from the BOTANICAL FLORAL 2 HCPC3407
Love this stamp set!


Spellbinders, Do'Hickies and Joy dies. 
These have been used to make all the leaves and swirls to compliment and frame the roses.


Embossing these butterflies on the back ground gives the card something extra. 
The stitching was well worth the effort of stitching by hand. 


Tucking a few gold flower stamens here and there under the rose's. Not to forget also a few dots of gold stickles, this allows a bit of interest to the arrangement. 
Love the tabs. Placed while making the card, later when the card is finished, write something. This makes life so easy.....love easy....
One could really personalize the card, by writing the persons name on the tabs that you intend on giving it to. 


Close up of the smaller rose's. All the rose's are finished with a few dabs of gesso, this gives the card a shabby look.
Which of course is what I like......I think this card has already found it's home. 
I'm going to send it to my self. It is always nice to get a card in the post.

I hope you all had a great, inspiring, fun, inky, scrappy card day on the 3rd, and are ready to take the new week on.

Till next post scrappy hugs, Sussipoppins

I MADE CARDS


Getting into the cards.... seriously!
hahaha...laugh not too hard....first take a look at my effort. Still trying, and a lot different from doing a LO.
Not as much room!

The above card is my Fav. Love these birds and frames from Joy. Balled and misted for that vintage distressed look. Love it! Flowers from Nelly S. punches to be found in Holland.


Something a bit different, but simple...I have found with card making for me any way....
"less is more"....
The back ground and swirls are made with the help of those wonderful Cherry Lynn Dies. Just love them, like all my other dies....can we ever get enough of them,........
NO!
Flowers are the left overs from the last posted LO. 
All is finished with the Glimmer Mists...can't not use my most fav. colour "Olive Vine"

Letting you in on a secret.....
I am having this great big giant love affair over here in Australia....... 
while the cat is away the mice will play......

It is to do with paper and ink and all things yummy! (as always).....
(what is she up to now??????)
It's called "Stamp'in Up" 
We all know it is hitting Holland 8th October..... that's old news.....I just wanted to do a lot of home work to see if it was for me or if, "Stamp"in Up" fits into my life plan. Well it does! And I sure will be signing the dotted line when I get back from this wonderful gallivanting around the other side of the world....
........having so much fun and all that..So watch out for further posts......

I was invited to give a WS here in Cairns,  the Table Lands, at a Stampin Up retreat, given through Shannean Moncrief, the Stampin Up guru here in Cairns. 
What a success it was,
 I have never had so much crazy fun, made 31 card front swaps, met so many wonderful ladies and gentleman...yes there was one from MARS there! I might add, I was very impressed with his work. 
I can be saying with out a lie.I had only 3 hours +- sleep from Friday am till Sunday night.
I was wearing dark glasses all day Sunday to hide all the eye make up that made it's way down the face...I am talking about those dark rings that are in the wrong place.Who cares when we can scrap till we drop, ....literally! 
Not enough time to sleep. Scrap book challenges.
She was a tough one! No flowers allowed! It's called tough love over here..you know the sort of love you use with your kids.. Goes with out saying, there was also, card making challenges through the weekend.I sure learn't lot's,last weekend.
My WS was working with the "Stampin Up" product. Just love'n what the paper does for my flowers.
Therefor I shall have to take photo's and up load them for you....just let me catch up on some shut eye first.
Sorry, you will have to wait a few days for that.
So until then keep on scrapp'n, create'n and have'n fun.

Scrappy hugs and love SussiP oxo

GIRLZ DAY




Another LO of the Scrap-delight design team...thus named "DT Girlz Day"

Sorry, Iam doing this on the i- pad again. Can't get to work it like the laptop. Same excuse of not having my product list with me....can not think of every thing when I get to go to the other side of the world to see my sisters! Sorry.

The background was made with the large...giant weapan of a punch from We R Memory Keepers "Lucky 8 Punch: Classic Wreath".


Circle, from the Dusty Attic large clock, stsitched with gold thread.


Most of the punches used are from EK.

Gold pearl drops made with the Paper Pen from Viva.

Flowers - made from the Tatterd Flowers die from Tim Holtz. Sprayed, moulded with the fingers, gessoed then something new for me - the edges touched up with a pearl pen - pearly brown/pink color.
I used Dusty Attic blooms as well, sprayed and inked to get the color to match. Same with the leaves.

         
Twigs are made with the Memory Box dies.Very fine, just love this product!


The girl cameo is from Dusty Attic. Painted white the Crackle Paint Clear Candy from Ranger. Add a little vintage ink so the crackles will pop.


The paper ribbon across the page is cut then embossed with the folders from Tim Holtz.

The tittle is, as always, or a lot.....cut x 6 stacked, glued then glossy.....yes making my own chippies is working for me. Touched up with Glimmer Mist using the paint brush and gesso to give it the finsh I wanted.

I hope you have enjoyed this post.

This Woman

Hi there every one. This is being posted while I am killing time at Hong Kong airport... 12 hours can sure be a long time!

So you will have to bear with me as I do not have my note book with all the toys I used to create this.....just using the grey matter... here it goes...


The paper used here, is  from an old Basic Grey paper line...Scarlets letters,.....and yes it is an older line, but still a fav from most scrappers.

The lettering is made from Quickutz dies. Yes I layerd them.....6 times... yes it is a pain to layer them, but as you can see it is well worth doing. Finish it with glossy from Ranger.


Flowers, I , of course made my self from tissue paper, useing the tatterd flower die from Tim Holtz.

The black twig with leaves and grapes, is brought out through Prima Marketing. If you look close enough you will see I have added a few leaf chips from Dusty Attic.....sorry I haven't got the # and name with me. Of course finished with gesso then painted with glimmer mist.


The wings are from one of Tim Holtz embossing folders.



The edges are punched with the help of Martha Stewarts toys....a true classic and a worth while investment......but what isn't......



Sorry got to keep it short, running out of battery. I was clever enough to pack the reserve and the addapter.....but it's in the suit case that was booked strait through......which all well and good is now in Carins with all my other goodies I could not do without!

So as they say catch you later, and as I say have a scrappy one.
Susan. Oxoxo.

PN. This is done on the iPad....so please make allowances for me.

"COLLECTIONS , TWIDDLY BITZ & PRIMA MARKETING"


A couple of tags well worth sharing....

'THE BEST MOMENTS'



ENJOY!

 

The flower, made with the Sizzix die from Tim Holtz...both sizes, stacked on top of each other, finished with Glimmer mist and Prima flower and pearls.

NOTE- Be careful if you want to do this yourself, as the tissue is very fine. Don't make it too wet with glue and mist or it will not be able to hold it's own.


I just love the crackle paint from Ranger, finished with stickles. Have to have some bling somewhere!.....or life as we know it could be so dull! We can't have that now can we?
The stamp used here is from Prima Marketing, colored with Glimmer mist.
Butterfly wings and dress form are from TWIDDLY BITZ
Tissue paper from, COLLECTIONS


Can't, not have a 3d photo to show you!


More close ups for you.



"The nameless one."


This tag has no name....thus, the name I shall give it now will be ,
"The nameless one."

I love this butterfly. I got such a buzz with making this....like the A Team, love it when a plan comes together...showing my age with this one!
It is worth doing a tut. on it...in the planning........
Sorry the photo does not show the bottom of the dress form well. 
Wholes made with the crop-a-dile then,beads attached to jump rings- 7 gypsies-


But what I will share with you at this point, is The butterfly is cut out from one of the 'COLLECTIONS' papers you can purchase. The back ground is stamped with one of the Prima Marketing stamps released last year...one of their many to die for products. Painted of course by hand with Glimmer Mist,


Close ups of the butterfly.....and the dress form, Twiddly Bitz that is covered with the tissue paper.



 Mallissa Frances glass glitter- Pink and Green.


Just wanted to show off with a few large close ups.hahahahaha....yes you see the butterfly is finished with those wonderful glass chips.


I hope you enjoyed wondering through my post today/night.....and yes I have good news for you.
So have a scrappy one, love and scrappy hugs, Susan

For those that are interested - The news to date.
I have this morning...the small hours...returned from two glorious relaxed non stress weeks from the France....I slept for the first two days! and, yes I did manage to get a tan ,and no, I did not Internet, so I could not post here,,that was a killer, as I had the time! and yes had time to kill.....laying around , reading, (TWO BOOKS and into the THIRD!) eating cheese and drinking wine...a little any way......Met a great couple while there and booked for next year for three weeks...wait till you see the photo's of the location for next year....you will be eating your hearts out for sure!
(some one commented today that I was not that brown........really!....... with the Irish blood in me! I am so glad I have a slight tint....with a little help from the Sun Bed I shall keep it in tact for Australia......YES IT IS TRUE!!!!!!!
A special note.....Sorry for all those that booked a WS at Scrap-delight with me....but I have not seen family and friends for at least 12 years...I could not pass up this gift my DH offered to me on a silver platter.......and yes I will be returning, I have booked a RETURN TICKET!....So I will make it up to you.....promise!
and yes again...
my other sister in New Zealand, Michelle, talked me into giving up three weeks in Australia to spend it with her and dear girlfriends in the 
'LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD'.
But truly,.... this is a once in a life time thing! A two edged sword....being able to plan my time in as I want, not having to take Frans (DH)into account while away, as..... FRANS WILL NOT be traveling with me.....thats, a real down, down side. The up side is...I can scrap till I drop!
But absence makes the heart grow fonder.....
we will leave it at that....and...... but thankfully,we have skype and e-mail.....and who knows.....he might get a crazy idea to pick me up and travel home with me......won't hold my breath though...he's not a good back seat driver.
He is a retired KLM BVK...ops.... the cats out of the bag now.
I have booked and I'm flying out of Holland Friday 3 pm. 12 hour over stop at Hong Kong, so may be I'll spend a couple of hours looking around. Then I shall be landing on Australian soil 8 am Sunday.

Over there is Father's Day, so Cheere and boys will be picking me up, having coffee may be at Macies or whatever.

I shall hopefully keep you updated.

Bye Bye - time to fly!

She Dreams

A Lay Out for the Scrap-Delight Sunday sketch challenge. 


This photo was taken at the last design team meeting a few months ago.
I am so in love with this photo! I am not photogenic, so hate having to pose for photo's....Thank you Janine for taking such great photo's and not to forget, a thank you, to Christine for rubbing all those unwanted lines and extra coloring we were not born with away for me. xoxoxo


The title "SHE dreams" was made with the "Word play" from Tim Holtz. Cut x 2 from packing boxes and x 1 from Glitz Design paper. Do you see the wonderful Dylusions stamped leaves? Stamp them on the back side of card stock, then cut them out. Ball them up with the balling tool and attach with foam tape.
All products are listed below.


Close up of these wonderful dreamy flowers. Finished with a new product at scrapdelight. When I was there last time...as I was racing out the door...I asked what is this? The answer was don't know, take it and try it.....so I have , and I have even suprised my self. It was a jar of medium with a sparkle in it. You can also see it in the dolie masking. I used the dolie to spray glimmer mist. When dry I used the medium...very happy with the bling bling effect! I used what was left over to finish the edges of the flowers.....we all know that I DO NOT throw any thing away...another day when I was kind to the earth. This product is not on the site yet...as I have it here. It is from Viva and is a gel medium. It will be coming very soon. I shall be using it alot in my future work for sure!


Memory box is a must have to die for product! Here you can see how fine the fence is. So fine that the glossy ran off. Dang! Better luck next time. But it looks great if it is not a close up. I put the glossy on the gate as well. The tag was cut with the Tim Holtz tag die.


Yes you saw right. The dreams was an after thought. The LO was done, but I felt it was missing something....yes it was...DUSTY ATTIC.....came to the rescue! "dreams" was finished with gesso then dabbed in a puddle of glimmer mist...you know the ones I make on plastic. Add a few leaves cut from the brown flip side of the Glitz paper and I was done.

Don't we just love "Glitz" Design Paper.

Products I used on this layout:
Glitz Design "Pretty in Pink" paper
Tim Holtz Alterations(sizzix)
Memory Box Dies- rounded fence 98287 / cherry blossom 98316 / wrought iron gate & fence 98225 & 98164
