Happy Hanukkah card with CAS-ual Fridays

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and  I am going to share my first Hanukkah card made this year.
 I know that both Christmas and Hanukkah are far far away, but we'd better try to make our cards in advance as if you try to make them just before the Holidays you never  make them after all...
And when you work with CAS- ual Fridays stamps and die you have the most perfect selection of Hanukkah and Judaical products.

 I didn't make the full step by step tutorial for this card, but I think that the written explanation will do the job.
So this is a partially transparent card and it was made with transparent piece that is hidden under the cardstock top.
The transparency is embossable and I stamped two CAS- ual Fridays  8 Happy Nights sentiments one near another with Memento Luxe pigmented blue ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Then the stamped transparency was glued to the back cardstock.
On another piece of white cardstock I glued CAS- ual Fridays Hanukkah Fri- dies, all of them , and then misted the fronts with a mix of blue mists.
When it was dry I cut the front into two pieces as shown and glued to the transparency.
The only embellishments added are silver drops added to the number 8 and over the card.

I also added a bit of light blue mist inside the card for the contrast under the transparency.

 As you can see the stamping on transparency can be quite perfect if you check the transparency and it's heat resist one.

 Here are the stamps I used to make this card:

 8 Happy Nights

Hanukkah Fri-dies

Chalkboard card with CAS-ual Fridays

 Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here again and this time I am going to share a simple, but yet interesting card made with one single large CAS- ual Fridays stamp sentiment from Dream then Do stamp set  in one of my most favorite styles- Chalkboard stamping.

As you can see I used a  stamp from Dream then Do set to make the card front over Mixed Media bottom layers and also it's not a full tutorial I would show you the layers and will explain a bit about this card making process.

CAS- ual Fridays stamp  used:

 Dream then Do

 The bottom layer was made over thick white cardstock with splashes of alcohol Ranger inks.

 The second acetate layer was made with the same alcohol inks and you can see it around the focal sentiment.

The sentiment was stamped over black thick cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Then I added a layer of white ink over the stamped image to make this mute " chalkboard" look.

 The acetate layer were added with staples over the bottom cardstock one.

I hope that you like my vintage looking Mixed Media card and see you next moth with more CAS- ual Fridays inspiration.

Lovely thoughts of you card tutorial with SNS

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here today  with my second July  Sparkle N' Sprinkle release project.

I made  this card using the most gorgeous Sketched Pear blossom stamp set and added totally glittered background using a stencil and three SNS glitter colors. 

 The main image was stamped over embossable SNS acetate, heat embossed with black detail embossing powder and colored from the back and from ther front with different coloring mediums.

Product list:

Sketched pear blossoms stamp #904
Tim Holtz 5'' mini scissor

Bubblegum glitter

Spirited green glitter

Waterfall glitter

Black detail EP

Tea- rific tape 1/2''

VersaMark ink

Nuvo drops Bubblegum blush

Nuvo drops Caribbean ocean

 Nuvo medium  glue pen

Embossable acetate

Sticker paper

 Here are some close- ups to the project:

 And now here is my full step by step tutorial for you to follow:
1.Die cut the square using sticker paper. Add the stencil over and sprinkle Waterfall glitter.

2. Peel off the stencil and add Spirited green on the top. Try to avoid the middle part that will be covered with third color.

 3. Add pink glitter on the middle of the square.

 4. Die cut cardstock rectangles to make your card.

 5. Arrange the rectangles and glittered square as shown using Tear- ific 1/2'' double sided SNS tape.

 6. Stamp the Pear blossoms over embossable acetate  - the large and two small ones- using VersaMark ink and heat emboss with Black detail SNS embossing powder.

7. Color the stamped acetate from the back side with a mix of Ranger alcohol inks.

8. Hand cut the stamped images. Don't try to make it perfect as this is a clear acetate around the stamped images.

 9. Glue the stamped pieces over the card as shown using Tonic glue pen.Remember to glue from the heat embossed side up.

 10. Color the image with acrylic paints. (Green one is not shown on the photo).

 11.  Stamp and die cut the sentiment. Glue it over the card.
Add some random Nuvo drops around the card.

 Thanks for being here today with me and see you in a couple of weeks with my last July release project!

Live your dreams card with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second Magenta June post.

Irit is here today and I am going to share a card made over the leftover cardstock front and the leftover acrylic paints as my background and card front.

 The die cut circle cardstock was the left over piece from another project. I had a lot of acrylic paint drops on my craft mat. With some water added I swiped the cardstock over these leftovers  and Bingo! What a nice and totally unique background !
The inside circle stamping was done in two layers.
I first stamped Magenta new and gorgeous Galaxy Cluster image over the back white cardstock. Then I stamped the Lone Daisy flower over transparency and added it inside the circle. What a nice way to layer stamped images one over another!
Then I stamped the same flower image in the same gold heat embossed way over the painted card front.

 The sentiment was stamped over white cardstock with VersaMark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

 Some white enamel drops were added for more interest and to coordinate with white cardstock with the sentiment and white basic card.

Congratulations with Magenta

Hello dear crafty friends!

Irit is here today with my new and pretty different card made with our gorgeous Magenta products.

I made the background with the gorgeous Magenta  Chicken Wire stencil over sticker paper.
I added  black glitter over the stencil and then peeled the stencil off the sticker paper and added a generous layer of clear glitter. That's it! You lovely and totally different background was done.
Then the main Magenta  Bird on Branch image was stamped over embossable transparency with VersAMark ink and heat embossed with fine black embossing powder.
I hand cut around the image and didn't even try to make it perfect.
The sentiment was stamped with permanent black ink and the whole piece was splashed with similar light olive acrylic mist.

Be Happy Mixed Media card with Magenta

 Hello my dear crafty friends.
 Irit is here and  I welcome to my second Magenta April post.
 This time I made a Mixed Media card with a background made with a new, just released Magenta stencil and used two new Magenta stamps.
The card front was made with a thick layer of texture paste and when it was dry I misted it with Tattered Angels mist . It was really white cardstock and the colors are all from a single glittered mist.
The stamping was made over special transparency so you can heat emboss it and I used copper embossing powder over clear embossing ink to make this kind of a shaker window, but without anything inside.
The stamp used is square one, so I die cut it with a circle die to fit the die cut frame I made with another circle die.
The sentiment was heat embossed in the same way and added over the circle part of the card.
