COPIC COLORS

YG06, G05, G14, G28, R20, RV00

PAPER CUTS & SCORING

White Cardstock 10" x 6 1/2"

Pattern Paper 3 1/4" x 2 3/4", 3 1/4" x 1 3/4", 3 1/4" x 3/4"

Score White Cardstock-

Landscape: 3", 4", 7" and 8"

Portrait: 1/2" and 1 1/2" on both sides-  Score then rotate completely and score the other side,  

~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 

Cut a piece of white cardstock at 10" x 6 1/2" and then score Landscape: 3", 4", 7" and 8" and Portrait: 1/2" and 1 1/2" on both sides

Next cut your base to look like below

Next fold on the score lines and apply score tape as shown below

Next assemble the box

Now we are going to cut the pattern pieces- 3 1/4" x 2 3/4", 3 1/4" x 1 3/4", 3 1/4" x 3/4"

And then the dies- I did not end up using the flower or leaf from the stamp set.

After adhering the pattern layers to my box, I aded the sentiment on the Long Flags Die, and then added the Tropical Leaves Die, and the Hibiscus Dies.  I added my Iguana to the middle.   I then used some velcro to secure the box.  You could also use magnets, or ribbon.

Lastly I added some enamel dots- to the Hibiscus and elsewhere on my box.

I love how this box turned out and can't wait to fill it up with treats!

We hope that you are inspired to try out your own creation with the amazing stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts!

Fireworks!

 Hey everyone! I am with another scrapbook page for Cut Cardstock featuring Pop-Tone cardstock. Since this month we are all about Patriotic things – I thought it would be fun to scrapbook some fireworks photos from a 4th of July event my husband and I go to yearly. I absolutely love fireworks and had not been to a display- only seeing on TV until I met my husband and our first 4th of July together he took me to a show. I look forward to resuming our annual tradition this year.

I started with 2 pieces of Pop-Tone cardstock- Pop-Tone Whip Cream Cardstock at 8″ x 8″ and Pop-Tone Wild Cherry Cardstock and 7 3/4″ x 7 3/4″. This is the base of our layout.

Next, I inked both layers with Catherine Pooler Ink – Suede Shoes. For this layout, I used an ink blending tool to ink my edges.

After my layers were inked- I adhered the 2 together with a tape runner.

Next, I cut a piece of Basis Blue Cardstock at 4″ x 7″ and a piece of pattern paper at 3 3/4″ x 6 3/4″. Once I had both cut, I inked the edges of the pattern paper with the same ink.

And then adhered the pieces together and adhered to the layout towards the top.

Next I used Pop-Tone Sno Cone to mat my photos, and once adhered, inked the edges.

Next, I adhered my photos to the layout and added some coordinating stickers to the layout, adding the finishing touches to the layout.

I love how this turned out and can’t wait to get some new photos this year. I hope you enjoyed watching me scrapbook some fireworks! Do you have any 4th of July traditions? I would love to hear them.

Until next time my friends-

Angela

Be A Superhero with The Cat's Pajamas

 Happy Tuesday everyone!   I am back with a fun card featuring another fun digital stamp – Superhero.

With the 4th of July coming up this next weekend I wanted to do a Red, White and Blue theme for my card.     

I printed my image on Copic Xpress It cardstock and colored with Copic Markers:

Bunny: N1, N3, N5, R20

Eye Mask, Cape and Shirt:  R46, R35, R17, B18

White Gel Pen

I cut my cardbase to fit on a standard A2 cardbase using Blue cardstock.  Next I cut a layer of pattern paper (from my stash from CTMH) and inked the pattern paper with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide- Chipped Sapphire.    I cut 2 strips in red and inked them with the same Chipped Sapphire Oxide.

Next I cut a circle with white cardstock to mount my Super Hero  Bunny on and inked with the same Distress Oxide Ink.  I wanted the circle to be like he was standing in a spotlight or in front of the moon, there to save the day!

Next I used foam tape to pop up my bunny with.   I cut the sentiment strip, and then handcut the banner end.   I also inked the sentiment and then used foam tape to pop up and adhere to the card.    Lastly, I used some enamel dots in White and Blue and some Stars in Red to carry on the Red, White and Blue theme.

Who would you give a card to and let them know they are your Superhero?   For me it would be my Mom.    I would love to hear yours!

I hope you enjoyed my card,    See you soon!

With Sympathy- from La-La Land Crafts

 Happy Friday!   This week our theme is Sympathy/Thinking of You and I just knew I had to use this stamp set I had in my bin.

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock and cut with my Scan N Cut. 

I colored with Copics:

Skin; E00, E11, E21
Wingss: N1, N3, N5
Dress: W1, W3, W5
Hair: T1, T3, T5
White gel pen

I used the Double Stitched Ovals Die and the Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die to layer behind the image.

Once I adhered everything, I the top layers to the base layers with foam tape.

 Next I cut a strip of Vellum and stamped the sentiment on.   

I folded the edges over and created a band over the image.

Lastly I added a few silver glitter enamel dots

And there you have it a simple yet elegant card to give to someone to express your condolences.

Now for my cards:

I made a slimline card by layering several of the Scalloped Rectangles Die and the Double Stitched Rectangles Die.  I used the Spring Has Sprung Paper Pack for the base.  

Next I cut several pieces of white cardstock with the Double Stitched Hills Border Die and inked it with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink.

Next I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide with the Summer Is Here Layering Stencil to create my sky.

After creating my sky, I layered my Hill Border Die and adhered to the card.

I cut the Windmill Die with paper from the Home for Christmas Paper Pack and white cardstock (and silver for the blades) and once assembled I tucked into the Hills.

I colored my images with Copics:

I used foam tape to adhere Marci to the card, and then added my fox to the card.   

Next I added a few of the Snapdragon Dies to the card, and the Clouds from the Stitched Sun and Clouds Die Set to the sky.

For the finishing touches I added the sentiment on the largest of the Stitched Ribbon Die and cut down to fit at the bottom.   

Now for my 2nd card

I used the Stitched Nested Circle Die and again the Double Stitched Hills Border Die and Summer is Here Layering Stencil to create my scene.

Gnorman for All from TLC Designs

Hey everyone!   I'm back with a fun card featuring Gnorman for All.  

He happens to be a free digital stamp and I knew I had to make a 4th of July card with him.

I love all things Red, White and Blue and just knew he would be perfect. I used Chipped Sapphire and Candy Apple Distress Oxide with a star stencil to create my background on Whipped Cream Pop Tone Cardstock.   I used the Circle die from Aztec Sunshine Die behind Gnorman.

I colored him with Copics- 

Skin- E00. E11. E21

Robe- BG10, BG13, B00, B12

Crown: W1, W3, W5 and holder

Hair and Mustache- N0, N1, N3, N5

Flame- Y17

Candle B00

I used the Spar Spangled Confetti Die with Red, White and Blue Cardstock and scattered the dies around the card.

I added some clear dew drops from Studio Katia to add the finishing touches.

If you live in the US an celebrate the 4th of July- what are your traditions?  I would love to hear.

Hope you enjoyed my card!  

Jaunty Luka from La-La Land Crafts

 

Happy Friday!  This week our theme over at La-La Land Crafts is For the Boys- and I was so excited to work with Jaunty Luka.   

I stamped him on Copic Xpress It cardstiock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut him out with my Scan N Cut.   I colored him with Copic Markers:

COPIC COLORS

Skin: E00, E11, E21, RV10

Hat and Vest: E31, E43, E51, E74, E79

Hair and Shoes: E71, E74, E77, E79

Shirt: RV10

Pants: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

White Gel Pen

Archival Ink- Coffee

I used papers from both Hodgepodge Christmas and Hello Baby to create my base layers.

I used the Heart Globe Die, and Vintage Bike Die to add more of a vintage feel to Luka.

I cut a circle from the Stitched Nested Circles Die and then cut the Large Clock Die and layered on top.    The clock gives me a feel of a pocket watch that is open and I love the vintage feel.

I added the Postmark Die, Notebook Border Die, Postage Squares Die and Ticket Die all to the card in various places.  

I lightly inked all dies and paper with Archival Ink in Coffee to carry the Vintage through the card.

I used the back wheel from the bike in the middle of the clock for a different embellishment (rather than the middle).

I added my sentiment on the 2nd smallest if the Long Flags, and then added a few enamel dots scattered around the card.

I love how this turned out and hope you enjoyed.
