Tea Time Card with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone! 
It's Nancy here with a fun new project share!

I've combined the Large Tags, 
and some pieces from the Tea Time Set.

Here's my card:

My card is an A2 size. 

Here's a look at the pieces before I got started. 

The tag measures 4 1/2" x 3".

The Tea Time set has lots of elements. 

I used the "Tea Time" and one cup with saucer.

I made my card base from white cardstock, and covered it with a striped paper.

The I covered the tag with the pretty floral paper.

I added a white ribbon to the top of the tag,

and adhered the tag in place on the card base.

I then inked the chipboard pieces; first with yellow ink, and then with embossing ink.

I sprinkled everything with clear embossing powder, and heat set it.

I added a little piece of doily to the bottom of the tag,

and then adhered the chipboard pieces in place on the tag.

Here you can see how shiny the pieces are

with the floral design showing through nicely!

Finally, I added a few white sequins to the tag.

This would be such a fun card to send to a friend,

inviting her over for tea!

Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Today, I'm sharing with you my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging perfect to add to any place in your home. To create my wall hanging, I've used a variety of our everyday themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging at home.

To start, choose two pieces of patterned paper that coordinate together. From the first patterned paper, die cut a 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtails. From the second piece of patterned paper, die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtails. Distress the edges of the fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Radiate Word Mix, you'll need the Glow, Shine and Radiate words. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to each word. Sprinkle Black Magic Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of each word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the Leaf Filagree. Cut one of the filagree in half. Apply two coats of Pine Needles Distress Paint to one of the filagree pieces. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to the other filagree piece. 

The next piece you'll need is the Oval Arrow Frame. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle White Wonder Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

From the Itty Bitty Butterflies, you'll need to take seven out of the package. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Wild Iris to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Raspberry Pink to three of the butterflies. Ink the edges of the butterflies using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtail to the 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtail.

Adhere the Oval Arrow frame overtop of the 3 3/4" fitted fishtail.

Adhere the two leaf filagree pieces to the bottom left side of the oval arrow frame as desired.

Adhere the Glow, Shine, Radiate words to the middle inside of the oval arrow frame. The Radiate word will sit slightly on the leaf filagree and on the right side of the frame.

Adhere a pink and lime butterfly to the top right corner of the frame as desired. Adhere the other five butterflies on the left hand side of the frame, placing them in amongst the filagree and frame as desired.

To finish the wall hanging, punch two holes at the top. Tie a piece of twine through each hole to create a hanger.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished wall hanging.

XOXO Altered Brush with Karen Jiles

Hi there, 

It’s Karen sharing an XOXO Altered Brush that I created with the Infinity Love Mix and Oval Arrow Frame Chipboard sets.  The chipboard sets were so easy to coordinate with this mixed media project. The colour choices and mediums used were perfect. Take a peek at my tutorial below.

Step 1: Apply 2 coats of white gesso to the 4in. paintbrush and XOXO word and heart arrow chipboard.

Step 2: Tap on some shimmer powders (Green Parade and Volet Brocade) and spray water onto the brush and chipboard. Set the brush and chipboard aside to dry.

Step 3: Adhere flowers, dyed ribbon and chipboard to the brush. Note: I dyed the ribbon using the same shimmer powders to coordinate with the project.

Step 4: Add beaded pins, highlight flowers and tap on some gesso to enhance the overall design.

Step 5: Continue embellishing as desired.

Masculine Happy Birthday Card with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone! It's Nancy back with you today.
I have made a Masculine Birthday card, using a fun glitter design technique,along with some fabulous chipboard pieces from Southern Ridge Trading Company!
Here's the card I made: 

I'm afraid I don't have any process photos for you.
It's sometimes hard enough to get regular photos this time of year
but getting good photos of all this glitter was even more difficult. ;o)
This is a fun technique that I've been wanting to try for ages,
so I'll walk you through it.

I began by making an A2 tent-fold card from black cardstock.

I then cut a piece of sticker paper at 4" x 5 1/4".

I peeled back the protective layer from the sticker paper,

and adhered the stencil in place.

I thought this stencil was perfect for a masculine birthday card,

as it's all full of gears and numbers.

Once the stencil was securely in place,

I generously sprinkled it with the blue glitter.

Using my fingers, I burnished it all very well,

then gave it a really thorough brushing with the glitter brush.

Then I peeled off the stencil,

and generously sprinkled it with the silver glitter.

I repeated the burnishing and brushing,

and was left with a fabulous glittered design!

It's so fun and easy, and I think it's very effective!

Next, I took my chipboard "Happy Birthday"
and inked it up with embossing ink.
I sprinkled it with black embossing powder,
and heat set it.
Now the words are so dark and shiny!

To finish off the card,

I adhered the glittered piece onto the card base with foam tape.
Then I adhered the chipboard in place on the card front.

I can't wait to try this technique with another stencil!

It's so much fun to do!

The last thing you'll need is two large white roses, two small white roses, eight red roses, four pink roses and three aqua flowers.
