Nautical Birthday Card with Dawn E

Dawn here, from the little mennonite blog, with a Southern Ridge Trading Company Nautical Birthday card for you today.  My uncle is turning 65 this year and he use to be in the Royal Canadian Navy so I thought this card would be right up his alley!  (He also loves animals!)  I used the Southern Ridge Trading Company Multi Gear stencil and Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Anchors for this card.

Directions:

Using a white A2 card wet emboss the Southern Ridge Trading Company Multi Gear stencil to the front left.  Let dry.
Stamp out the selected images from Neat and Tangled's Yo Ho Ho stamp set and colour with a alcohol based marker.  I tried to make mine graffiti like with dots, splashes and as little blending as possible.

Colour the Southern Ridge Trading Company's Mini Anchors as shown and overlay GelWriter gold gel pen on top.  Add GelWriter gold gel pen to all the images.  Emboss the sentiment on vellum with fine gold embossing powder.  Complete card as shown with a Glossy Accents.

Birthday Card with Dawn E

Dawn here, from the little mennonite blog, with a Steampunk Birthday card for you today.  I made this for my Uncle who was a shop teacher before becoming a high school principal.  I used 3 products from the Southern Ridge Trading Company: Mini Wood Gears (made of real wood!), Mini Anchors and the Multi Gear Stencil in the smallest size.

Directions:

Using the Southern Ridge Trading Company's Multi Gear Stencil, mix embossing paste with brown and gold paint and apply to card front. Let dry.  Using a distress ink sponge, sponge over Salty Ocean distress ink.  Splatter with water, then pick up water with a paper towel so white paper shows underneath.  Spatter gold Perfect Pearls on top.  Adhere Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Wood Gears with Glossy Accents.

Paint Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Anchor gold and adhere with Glossy Accents.

Using Lawn Fawn's Quinn's ABCs and 123s stamp out sentiment with black Memento ink and colour with Pro-Markers (or any alcohol based markers) to show a colour gradient.  Cut out and paste with Glossy Accents to card front.

I love all the products I used for this card, but my favorite was the Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Wood Gears - a must have product.  :)

Retro Mother's Day Card With Dawn E

We are excited to welcome Dawn E to our Guest Design Team. Dawn is up on the blog today sharing a fabulous Mother's Day Card, that's sure to inspire you. Sit back and learn all about how she created her first project for us!

Dawn here from the little mennonite blog with a retro Mother's Day card for you for my Grandmother (from my Mother).   Before I start I would like to give a shout out to the team at the Southern Ridge Trading Company for having me as a guest designer.  Thank-you!  What an honor and what awesome products!

​

First, I took the Southern Ridge Trading Company Retro TV and smooshed my VersaMark ink pad onto the antenna and the legs.  Then I quickly covered them with silver embossing powder and heat setting them to look like metal.

Then I painted the rest of the

Southern Ridge Trading Company Retro TV

with Martha Stewart Beach Glass paint.  Before the paint with completely dry I covered it with Martha Stewart Glitter.

Lastly, I taped a piece of patterned paper to the back of the

Southern Ridge Trading Company Retro TV .  All the patterned paper I used is old stock.

Cover the front on an A2 white card with a retro print.  Adhere the

Southern Ridge Trading Company Retro TV to card front.  Glue Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Wood Starfish to card front with a strong liquid adhesive.  (Like Glossy Accents.)  Stamp out two bow ties from Lawn Fawn's Love 'n' Breakfast stamp set onto patterned paper.  Cut out.  Adhere toSouthern Ridge Trading Company Mini Wood Starfish.

Using Lawn Fawn's Owen's ABCs stamp out "Mom" with Hero Arts Bubblegum ink.  Use the matching dies to die cut the letters.  Finally, use Lawn Fawn's So Jelly stamp set  to ink out the "you're a star" sentiment in black VersaFine ink on vellum.  Cover with clear embossing powder and heat set.  Adhere with Glossy Accents.

I can't say enough about the

Southern Ridge Trading Company Retro TV.

It can be used to host so many ideas.  Also I'm loving the 

Southern Ridge Trading Company Mini Wood Starfish, as they are made of thick wood with lovely cut-through details.  I highly, recommend both.
