Thank you for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing a fun light-up galaxy card I made with Chibitronics sticker lights and Hero Arts Galaxy Peek A Boo Parts stamp set. Keep reading below for more details on how I made this card! First, I heat embossed the galaxy design from the Galaxy Peek A Boo Parts stamp set with white embossing powder onto an A2 sized piece of ink blending cardstock. Next, I ink blended over the embossed background with Cracked Pistachio, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. To finish the background, I die cut the panel with the Distressed Edge Rectangle die to give it a torn edge look.  To create the light-up mechanism I used Chibitronics Yellow Sticker Lights and Copper Tape . I aligned the lights to be located underneath the stars to illuminate the sky. Check out the YouTube video below to see how I constructed the light up mechanism.  I heat embossed the sentiment onto a Flag Double Stitched die cut with

I colored the  MB Coffee Shop  images with my Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and then attached them to the interior foldable panel and the card front.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing this adorable, school-themed card featuring the  Alphabet, Heather Upper  and  Alpha Numeric, Heather Lower  die sets from  i-Crafter . This project is featured on the  i-Crafter  blog today too, so make sure to check it out  here ! These alphabet dies inspired me to create a school themed card featuring: an alphabet blackboard, lined notebook paper, a wooden desk, and a teacher's apple!  To create the wooden desk inspired base layer, I used Vintage Photo Distress ink on kraft cardstock to create the rustic, wood grain look. Next, I used my Prismacolor pencils to create the lined notebook paper details on white cardstock. For the spiral bound edge I used the notebook edge die from the  Mini Album, Accordion  die set.  The alphabet dies came into play to create the chalk board top layer. First, I used a white colored pencil and drew the chalk board lines onto black cardstock. I used a ruler to make the lines as even as possible. Nex

First, I die cut the flowers using scraps of green, pink, purple, yellow, and blue shades of cardstock. I love the layered look of the flowers and stems! To decorate the clay pot, I used the  Japanese Kumiko  stencil with Vintage Photo Distress oxide ink to create the textured pattern onto kraft cardstock. I used the same stencil on the bright green strip after heat embossing the "Thinking of you" sentiment from the  Scattered Thoughts  stamp set for ink resisting purposes. I only glue the sentiment towards the center of the pot so when it's popp
