Winter In July Card with Jessica Kaiser

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Jess here today with another fabulous chipboard themed card!  I tried to keep with my "Christmas in July" theme - but the card ended up being more of a "winter in July" theme - HOCKEY!  How much more Canadian can you get than a hockey card?

Let me share how I made it!  These are the Southern Ridge products I used on this card:

Hockey

Small Primitive Stars

I started by heat embossing my Hockey Players!  I used a dark navy blue for the focal "Hockey" guy, and a nice red for the other!  I typically use 2-3 layers of embossing powder on my chipboard pieces. I simply cover each piece with Versamark Ink, then sprinkle on my powder of choice and heat setting!  I repeat for each layer until I like the coverage.  I used a gold detail powder on my Small Primitive Stars (and one pretty Navy Blue one for contrast!).

I had a few "hockey" themed patterned papers kicking around, so I used them to create my background. I also adhered a small piece of red cardstock to the back of the "Hockey" word to make it stand out. 

I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops to accent the edges of the hockey stick and skate blades. It also accented the corners of the card! Here are a few more pictures of my card:

I did pop up the blue hockey player using Foam Squares to give it more of a focal point. SUCH a fun card!!!

Southern Ridge Trading Company Supplies Used:

I hope you had some fun here on the blog today! I really enjoyed making this card - it's always nice to have some "boy" cards on hand!

See you again real soon!!

Hockey Scrapbook Layout with Charlene Byrd

Hello everyone, Charlene here!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season! Thanks for joining me today on the blog! Today’s layout celebrates Canada’s favourite sport, HOCKEY! People ask me all the time which team I cheer for. I tell them I don’t really watch NHL hockey, I cheer for Pittsburgh only because it’s my son’s favourite team but I am a HUGE Rangers fan! Last year I was so fortunate to have a hockey mom who was an amazing photographer, she had her camera on sports mode at every game! I have so many amazing pictures of Remington from that year; I really miss her this year!

I was so excited to see that Southern Ridge had a goalie in their hockey collection! Yay!! To create the word Hockey, I first cut off the hockey player (as it was part of the word) so I could add the goalie silhouette. I stained it with Black Soot Distress stain and then added black UTEE to the top. I simply stained the goalie silhouette with black stain and added foam squares behind it to make it pop up a bit.

I added Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Stain to the star chipboard and again added black UTEE over it. I also added blue pattern paper behind the star to make it stand out a bit more. I had a small piece of the fish net chipboard lying around; it reminded me of the hockey net so it was a perfect match for the layout.
