Sneak Peek! Crafter's Companion Pop Up Card and stamps

Hello Crafty Friends!

It is new release time at Crafter's Companion...woo-who!  I was so excited in anticipation for the release date as I wanted to share my favorite project: a mixed media pop up card box.  The box was created using the new Pop Up Card die set, Pop Up stamp set, and Clear Texture Stamps set.  All of the product is currently available on HSN.

The fun flowers were colored using Spectrum Noir Water Reactive Inks.  The Texture Stamps were heat embossed for extra detail.   Love the way it turned out!

Isn't it just the sweetest?  This card makes me happy...I hope you enjoyed it, too!

Thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to check out all of the other new Crafter's Companion product on HSN.  :)

Stamp focus: Layered "Perfect Posy"

Helloooo Crafty Friends!

It may be cold and snowy here in Nova Scotia but my mind is thinking of spring and flowers.  Today's card is a reflection of those thoughts.

The card focus is the beautiful Gemini stamp and die set: Perfect Posy. 

The Spectrum Noir Dye inks were used for the layering and I adore the colors!  (I have a few favorite colors of Spectrum Noir inks and Fuchsia is definitely one of them!)

 The sentiment was stamped and die cut using Crafter's Companion Torn Edge Rectangles dies.

This card makes my heart happy.  The flowers and colors are just what is needed on a cold winter's day.  :)

Product Used:
Gemini stamp and die set: Perfect Posy
Spectrum Noir Quick Dry Dye inks
Crafter's Companion Torn Edge Rectangles dies

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day.

Foiling Fun! Radiating "Love you"

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you tried Crafter's Companion FoilPress?  It is an amazing little tool and adds a whole new level to your papercrafting.  I keep the machine on my craft desk and consider it one of my "must haves".

The card today features the "Love you" radiating Foil Stamp 'n' Cut die. 

The Radiating Foil Stamp was used with Berry foil onto Kraft card stock.  It was cut to size and Spectrum Noir Water Reactive inks were applied to the edges for a vintage look.

Crafter's Companion Luxury Glitter card stock is a fabulous pairing with foiled stamp dies.  (The red and gold luxury card stocks are always nearby my crafty space.)

As a heads up regarding the foils: Crafter's Companion offers two types of foils, Papercraft and Multi-surface.  If you plan on foiling only paper then the Papercraft is your choice.  (Several times I have made a shopping card and added the wrong foil type.  Luckily I caught the error when double checking my cart.) 

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day.
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo

NEW RELEASE! Crafter's Companion Festive Background Die

Hello Crafty Friends!

They new releases from Crafter's Companion are festive and delightful.  The background die, Christmas Greetings is so beautiful die cut in luxury matt foil card stock.  Some simple layering and a sweet bow is all you need to make an elegant Christmas card.

Card instructions:

1. Die cut background using Christmas Greetings die and red luxury matt card stock.  Cut to desired size.
2. Cut Vellum card stock the same size as the background in step 1.  Adhere together.  (I used thin double sided tape and liquid glue.)
3. Mat and mount step 2 to Kraft card stock and then rose gold glitter card stock.  
4. Mount to red top fold card base.
5. Optional: die cut rose gold glitter card stock with Christmas Greetings die.  Select pieces to cut from background and mount to card front using liquid glue.
   
6. Create double bow and mount to card front using hot glue.

The Crafter's Companion product is currently available on HSN online.

One suggestion: if you do not have Luxury Card Stock yet, I would highly recommend getting a package of your favorite color.  It really does add the extra elegance and shine to a paper crafting project.  Here is the Luxury Card Stock link at the Crafter's Companion online store:  https://www.crafterscompanion.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=luxury+card+stock

Have a happy, crafty day!

"Dream" fantastic floral

Popping in today to share a creation using the newly released flower dies and foam from Crafter's Companion.  Oh- the flower creation is a wonderful addition to any project and I adore how the foam flowers turn out.  So easy and beautiful!

Aren't the flowers so pretty?  Never did I imagine being able to create petty flowers like these.  So, if I can do it, then so can you!  

Here is a link to a video to show you how to make the flowers: video link here.

Peony die set
Foam
Parisian patterned papers
Rose gold luxury card stock
Gemini torn edge rectangle 2

Spectrum Noir Metallic Markers

Thanks for popping in!  Have a happy, crafty day.
