Hi there! I'm happy to be on the Tutti Designs blog today sharing this rainbow background technique card featuring our Rose Frame die. What a pretty die! I really wanted to show off the beautiful pattern with a high contrast creation. I hope you'll hop on over for the details. :)
Hello! I'm sharing a truly exciting mixed media tutorial on the Stamps & Stencils blog. Get all of the details on making your own cracked mercury glass panels and die cuts. This process is sooooo fun and completely addictive. I hope you'll join me.
I ended up with two projects using the technique. Trust me, I could have kept going! Thanks for visiting today and hugs, Autumn
It's time for a new challenge at Frilly and Funkie and our hostess Suzz has chosen the theme Trick or Treat. She says, "I challenge you to create a vintage or shabby chic project with a trick or treat. If you are feeling funkie you might want to incorporate a trick in your design or if you are feeling frilly you can incorporate a treat. The trick or treat can be anything from a hidden pocket, unexpected design element, a treat hidden in the card or an unusual technique used on your project. Make sure to include in your blog post a description of your trick or treat!"
I cut a 4.25 x 5.5" panel from watercolor card and embossed with the Tim Holtz Tiny Dots EF. I sponged Evergreen Bough and Salty Ocean lightly blending so that there was more light green on the inside and darker blue on the edges. I flicked with water and then traced and cut out the template.
I created a template for you to use if you'd like to CASE this card. Please make sure to credit back to this post if you use the template. :) Print the template 5.125 x 3.4375" or 5 1/8 x 3 7/16".
I prepared my other die cut elements. I layered my Distress Glittered snowflakes with foam tape. I cut the Wish die from red glitter stock. I cut the treeline and lined it up, fussy cutting away the excess and sponging the bottom lightly. I wanted a slight red boarder, per wisdom from my sweet Logan. I needed to cut out the center, so I used a rectangle die and saved the inside panel for another project.
I cut a sheet of kids craft foam slightly smaller than my panel, then traced the template again and cut out. It was necessary to cut out a lot of extra so that the penny mechanism would fit inside of this section. Test and make sure a penny is smaller than the width of every section of your cutout.
Sorry, but I forgot to photograph the backing panel. I embossed the snowflakes along the edges then sponged to coordinate with my embossed panel. I lightly sponged toward the center so that the little window left in the spinner slot would blend in with the overall design.
I ended up adding a silver backing snowflake to coordinate with my silver glitter stock mat. To assemble the mechanism, just add a circular (must be circular) foam dot between your snowflakes and a penny. Glue all of the layers together, nestling the penny in your craft foam cutout.
I couldn't resist adding a treat to go along with my card trick, ,so I made a coordinating little lantern filled with peppermints.
I'm thinking this will make a great teacher's gift set. I made a little video to show you how the card looks in all its spinning glory. I truly hope you've enjoyed this project and are inspired to join our current challenge. One lucky winner will receive a $25 voucher to the Funkie Junkie Boutique!
