Pat Carr's Zero2Hero Fundraiser August, 2020 - Project 1 - Birthday Candles

 Hi there,

On Sunday the 23rd of August I enjoyed attending Pat Carr's Fundraiser for the Zero2Hero Organization and the money raised will go towards helping children with Mental Health issues go to a Camp.  The total raised was just over $4,000. Congratulations Pat on such a successful day.  We made 8 projects on the day and I will post them over the next 8 days or so.

To make the candles we punched out the different colours with the Classic Label Punch trimming one end straight across and using a 1/4" Circle punch on the other end.  These pieces were then embossed with the Tasteful Textures E/Folder.  For the flame we used the Leaf Punch trimming the leaves off and sponging on the colour.  All of the candle pieces are mounted on dimensionals.  We used the Border die to shape the front of the card and attached the designer Paper on the inside of the card.

CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - August 2020 - Beach - Enjoying the Sunshine

Hello Friends,
Today's card is a reminder for the CAS Mix Up Challenge to do Water colouring as the main element and the theme is "Beach".  For my card I did a watercolour wash for the background with reinkers and then stamped on top.  The images were all water coloured, fussy cut and mounted on dimensionals.  I applied some Multi Mat Medium and then sprinkled with White and Clear E/Powder on the water and heated it with my Heat Gun which makes it bubble up and look like foam.  I finished off with some Clear and Gold Wink of Stella, a Mini Pearl  and the Stamped Sentiment.

Twofer Card Challenge #30 August, 2020 Sun/Moon - I Love You/Sweet Baby

 Hello,

I am playing at the Twofer Card Challenge today were the theme is Sun/Moon.  I made a Baby card and one that could be given as a Valentine, Wedding, Anniversary or just because. 

For the first card I Die cut the front panel and then mounted on Fun Foam.  I punch out the Moon from Glimmer card and sponged the background with Distress Inks and then added some splatters with water, watered down White Craft ink and Silver Delicata Ink.  The Sentiment is stamped and the word Moon is a Die cut.  I ran the Fun Foam through twice turning it over and put it through the Big Shot again and it came out very cleanly to my surprise. The inside is blank at the moment until I decide which occasion I want to use it for.

For the second card I embossed the Bashful Blue Mat with the Stars E/Folder and then punched out the pieces for the Baby Mobile.  I attached them with dimensionals and Silver Thread to the Moon.  The Sentiment was stamped, punched and then matted with two Navy punched out pieces to create a border.  I cut them in half and attached them to the Whisper White piece.

With thanks to the Design Team these two cards received an Honorable Mention.

Thanks for dropping by today, lovely to see you here.
