Day 4 of the Want2Scrap/Glue Arts Spring Into Summer Blog Hop

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

If you are looking for the Inky Antic's blog hop, please scroll down one post. ;)

Today is my day to post on the week long Want2Scrap & Glue Arts blog hop.

I hope you have been checking out the wonderful projects the designers from both teams have been sharing. If not, head over to the Want2Scrap blog for the complete lists.

Want2Scrap will be giving away $100.00 worth of gift certificates, and Glue Arts will have some awesome goodies up for grabs as well!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I needed a graduation card for the son of one of my girlfriends, so I made a grad card with W2S bling and glued it all together with Glue Arts adhesives. The image is an old 2010 Penny Black stamp but it was the only grad stamp I had that would work for a guy. I used watercolors to color it.

Here are some of the supplies I used....

And...here is my card.

The numbers in "2012" are from Want2Scrap's - Chipboard Alphabet- Stylish. 

I used Art Glitter - Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and  Purple Passion Ultra fine glitter to color the numbers.  

The Black Rhinestones are also from Want2Scrap.

The cardstock is Brilliant White, Classic Purple Prismatic, and Intense Yellow Prismatic from Discount Card Stock.

I used Glue Arts - Glue Glider Pro with Extreme Tack runner to attach paper to paper, and their Adhesive Squares to adhere the chipboard numbers.

I stamped and colored the image twice, fussy cut one of them and attached it with an Action Wobbles from Inky Antics, so it wobbles when you move it. :)

I hope you will check out the rest of the Want2Scrap  and Glue Arts team members who have created projects to share with you today. 

Here is today's line up.

Inky Antic's "Clearly Fun" Blog Hop and My CardMaker Magazine "Outside of the Box" Card

Tweet

Hello Everyone!

So glad you could join us for another fun Inky Antics blog hop!

If you are here from Michelle's blog, you are in the right place! If you just happened onto my blog, you will want to head over to the Inky blog and start from the beginning. You don't want to miss a thing! All of the girls have created projects with Inky's new clear cardstock!

First off, I have to tell you that my card today is a double duty project.

We have a new feature over on the CardMaker Magazine blog called "Outside of the Box" where we pick one of our cards that was published in a older issue and recreate it with differnt products.  It is a great way to show that you don't have to have the exact same products to CASE a card. :)

For a peek at the original card as it looked in CardMaker Magazine, and to see my tips on how to create cards with clear bases without adhesives showing anywhere, please pop over to the CardMaker blog!

Here is the card I created for the article and the hop with Inky's clear cardstock.

For this version, I used Inkys' #10017E "Contempo Flower" and #0214D "Mini Thinking of You" illustrated by Monica Lee. Both stamps, as well as the clear cardstock, can be found HERE.

Here is a photo of the inside.

If you like the look of the clear cardstock, you won't want to miss Inky's April special. A FREE package of clear cardstock with a $40.00 or more purchase. See details HERE.

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, April 22^nd  at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer. The more you comment, the better your chances are to win. (Limit one comment per blog, please). Two people’s names will be drawn at random to receive a surprise Inky prize pack. The winners’ names will be announced on the Inky Antics  blog next Monday, so remember to stop back and see if you’ve won.

Your next stop on the hop is Debbie's blog.

Supplies Used: Clear Cardstock, "Contempo Flower" and Mini "Thinking of you"  stamps from Inky Antics;  Brilliant White, Pink Lemonade and Herbal Garden cardstock from Discount Card Stock; 72 Count Pink Rhinestones and 72 Count Sage Pearls from Want2Scrap; Transparent Ultra-fine Glitter and Designer Dries Clear Glue from Art Glitter Institute; "Watercolor Bouquet designer paper from K&Company; Flowers from Prima Marketing; Square Nestabilities and Wizard Die Cutting Machine from Spellbinders Paper Arts; Glue Runner Adhesive from GlueArts; Liquid Adhesive from Beacon Adhesives.
