I love the Tiny Alien from Trinity Stamps and he is definitely cute enough to hold his own on a card.
The sentiment on the front and on the inside are from the We've Come For Cake.
This one just makes me giggle.
That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!

To start this project, I inked a 6" x 6" piece of white cardstock with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. In order to be able to cut out my four square pieces for the carton sides, with the ink gradation, I inked the Blueprint Sketch on the upper and lower edges of the cardstock.
Rather than spatter or speckle the inked piece, I used the Starfield Letter Press Plate with Silver Glimmer Foil. Once I had my piece foiled, I used the Milk Carton Dies to cut out my panels.
I used the Milk Carton Die to cut two pieces of black cardstock. I applied double sided tape on the tabs that extend out from the left side of the die cut piece. The die, place embossed lines where you need to fold the piece to be able to construct the carton. Before I assemble the carton, I find that it is easier to apply the inked panels first. I have linked my YouTube video below for a more detailed process.
My images are stamped from the Milky Way Stamp Set and cut out with the coordinating dies. I colored them in with Copic markers in the following colors:
Another shaker card today using Trinity Stamps, Espresso-Terrestrial Stamp Set. I am not sure if it has been released yet, I got mine with a bundle purchase on the last release.
For the card background, I used a medium purple cardstock with the Time Warp Letterpress Plate and Fuchsia Flowers Glimmer Foil. I saved the foil that was leftover and foiled another piece of cardstock for the coffee cup label.
For the coffee cup, I used the Tip and Sip Coffee Shaker Die Set. I cut the five of the shaker frame pieces, and trimmed out the inside pieces to the ones I chose to you use would move a little freer. I glued the five frames together to create my shaker well. The background of my cup is a medium brown piece of cardstock.
Once I had my well created, I filled it with Espresso Ground Confetti Mix, and a few Fuchsia and Grape Sparkle Spots Flat Confetti Mix. I kind of overfilled it, so they don't move as well as I would like them, but that's okay! I sealed up my well with a piece of acetate cut with the die. The outside of my coffee cup is cut from a brightish green card stock. I dusted the edges with a little Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink. The lid is cut from a very bright turquoise cardstock. I used a Copic maker to enhance the embossed lines to give it a little more dimension.
I stamped the image with the Espress-Terrestrial Stamp Set and added the "humans" being abducted with the Abducted Stamp Set. I colored it with Copic markers in the following colors:
B02,
B04, BG05
RV32,
V12, V15, V17
YG00,
YG01, YG23
B0000,
BG01
Once I had everything put together, my card felt a little naked. I really wanted to incorporate the little sayings that came with the stamp set, so I cut circles out of cardstock with the Clean Cut Layers Circles Set A to fit the sentiments. I inked them with Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Ripe Persimmon. I used the coffee bean stamps to make the "craters" in my new created "planets/moons". They didn't stamp out real well, but I was using Distress Oxide Inks and they probably would have worked better with other inks.
As I was making this card, I thought that it would be fun to put in a gift card holder on the inside left. I used the die that comes with the Coffee Mug Card to the card holder.
The inside sentiment is from the We've Come For Cake Stamp Set. I thought that the combination of the two sentiments was just right for this card.
That is pretty much it for this card.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonder day!

I wasn't sure how I was going to use the Flight Deck Die, but it is perfect for a shaker card. The cow and the Milky Way sign from the Milky Way Stamp Set and coordinating dies were just perfect for this card.
I inked the background with Black Soot and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock. To add a little more interest to the background I stamped and heat embossed some of the designs that are included with Milky Way Stamp Set. I also speckled the background with silver metallic watercolor.
I colored the images using Copic markers in the following colors:
Once I had my images die cut and applied to the background, I used 2 layers of black foam tape to create my well for the Celestial Skies Sprinkles Clay Embellishment Mix. I only had 1/2" black foam tape, so for the sides, I cut it in half so edges were a little more proportionate to the Flight Deck Die.
The Flight Deck die is open on the sides, so to cover up my foam tape, I cut 1/4" strips of black cardstock and adhered them to a piece of 4" x 5.25" acetate sheet. I cut the Flight Deck out of black cardstock and adhered that to my acetate. I used the die again to cut the deck again from Turquoise and Purple cardstock. Then I trimmed them to fit on top of the black cardstock layer to give it some fun color. I cut the panels, steering wheels and gages using the included dies from the set and adhered them to the instrument panel.
Once I had everything adhered to the acetate, I placed it on my shaker well.
I glued my shaker piece to a black cardstock card base. For the sentiment, I used one from the Milky Way Stamp Set and stamped it on a piece of 4.0" x 5.25" white cardstock and glued it to the inside of my card base.
This cow is so cute just floating through space don't you think???
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!

This one is another interactive card using the Emergency Card Die Set #3 - Double Slider by Trinity Stamps and Sassy's LLC. I also used the Trinity Stamps We've Come For Cake Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I also added a few extra planets from the Out of this World Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
I used the sentiments that are part of the the stamp set, however, one of them was too long to fit on my tab. I still used the coordinating die but I had to stamp it twice and cut it twice.
For the inside of this card, I cut a piece of white cardstock 4.0" x 5.25" and trimmed the bottom with a piece of left over inking I had done for the background. It seemed a shame to through that out when it would nicely tie the card together.
I really enjoy the challenge of making interactive cards and I love the "wow" factor that they make when activated. If you want to see a more detailed process on this card, hop on over to my YouTube channel to take a peak. I have a link at the bottom of this posts.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!

The background on this card has been ink blended with Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock. Make sure to ink enough cardstock for the pull tab and bottom slider piece.
I wanted to use the Starfield Letterpress Plate, but I also wanted to put the little star cluster from the Out Of This World Stamp Set. I stamped and heat embossed the star cluster first. When I went to hot foil the rest of the background, I used the the coordinating die mask it off before I foiled it.
For the two slider piece, I cut them out and then foiled them separately from the main background. I used Skybright Glimmer Hot Foil from Spellbinders for this project. I cut the background to 4.0" x 5.25".
I found this to be a pretty easy mechanism to create. This was the first card I made, so I followed along with Sarah Lihz of Sassy's LLC's YouTube Video. I have also linked my YouTube Video at the bottom of this post.
Once I had my card built, I applied my little friends and the sentiment. The sentiment is included in the Another Orbit stamp collection. Once I stamped and heat embossed it, I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also used a few of the planets from the Out Of This World Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
My friends are colored with Copic Markers in the following colors:
I adhered this mechanism to a piece of cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.0". I usually have a border around all of my cards, however, I found that by doing this, I made it a little difficult to pull the mechanism. In the future, I will use die to cut a notch in the background piece also.
This card was so much fun to make that I was inspired to make another one with two pop out sliders and one in the center of the card. It will be on another post and YouTube video.
Stop by my YouTube Channel for more details on the process of this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Hello!!! I had so much fun last week playing along with Craft Roulette, that I decided to do it once again. If you aren't familiar, you might want to check them out at CraftRoulette.liv. I have to admit that the "wheel" had some fairly easy parameters. I think that my favorite one was the 4 Bar Card. I had never heard of it before. Once I cut my background down to size, I was amazed at the small area that I had to work with. Yikes!!!
I have loved Gnomes before they became popular. Trinity Stamps has my favorite ones to craft with, so I choose to use the Summer Gnome Fun.
The parameters for this card are:
The sentiment is one that is included in the stamp set. I stamped it centered in the sky background with black ink. I arranged my little Gnomes on the sand.
Don't you think my little friends are just living their best life on the beach? I would love to join them
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a great day!!

The short of it is; it is a weekly challenge, Mary Gunn FUNN has a guest and the two of them make a card based on particular parameters. To get the parameters, they spin a roulette wheel and what it lands on is the parameter of a particular category.
This weeks parameters are:
Hello friends! I am up on the ScrapbookPal blog today with this card. I am so glad it is finally Summertime. I hope you are as excited about that as I am.
Today I have
a card with my dream car on it and I thought I might combine it with a
background that had a vintage 70’s vibe. I hope you have great and fun summer!
Below is a list of the supplies that I used on this card.
Make sure you go to Scrapbook Pal to get them!
The background was made using the Space Fog Stencil along with Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon, and Squeezed Lemonade. I have so much on top of the background that it is hard to really see it. I really like this background because it gives the maker some guidance to create a flowy background.
The shaker element is created from the Tiny UFO Die Set. When I make shakers that aren't a simple shape such as a square or a rectangle, I like to use the die to do it. For this card, I cut out the upper and lower part of the space ship eight times and glued each layer together to create the well for the shaker elements.
To assemble this piece, I used a piece of vellum, cut with the die, as the background to tone down the background inking on the card. I also used the die to cut the acetate that seals the shaker elements inside. Before I sealed everything up, I adhered my Alien, which was cut from the Tiny Alien Die, and sprinkled in my litter shaker pieces, from the Celestial Skies Mix.
For the top of the shaker, I used various colors of cardstock. I like the way this die allows the maker to mix and match the individual pieces - the combinations are just endless.
I wanted to tether the Astronaut to the space ship, so I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Trails Hot Foil Plates Lawn Cuts. These are the dies that cut out the foiled trails. I cut the "rope" four times to create some height and then covered it with one cut from foiled cardstock.
The Astronaut was created with cardstock scrap using the Tiny Astronaut Die. He is such a cute little fellow!
Once I adhered everything to the card, I needed something for the bottom right corner. After shopping my stash, I grabbed my Mini Winter Greetings Die Set and used it to create my sentiment. Perfect!!!
That pretty much does it for this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!!!!

To start this card, I used the new Space Fog Stencil with Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink. I found that it was easiest to ink in the stencil openings and then, using the masks, inking in the background. Once I was done with the inking, I went back and softened the edges by doing a little more blending.
I used Citrine Glimmer Foil and the Starfield Letterpress to add some stars to my outer space sky. Once I had foiled my background, I used the A-2 Clean Cut Layers Rectangles Set A to cut it to 4" x 5.25". I also dusted the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink to give it more of a space feel.
Using the Crater Layers Stencil and Coordinating Dies to create a surface for my alien friend to stand on. I used Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment on the moon surface using black embossing powder. I used a sentiment from the We've Come For Cake Stamp Set. I also used another sentiment from this stamp set for the inside of the card.
I needed to have the moon surface and my alien created so I knew where I wanted to place my flying saucer and beam. The adorable alien is cut from green cardstock using the Tiny Alien Die Set. I placed the beam from the Tiny UFO Die Set to cut an opening in my background. This is the shaker opening.
I cut a piece of black cardstock the same size as my shaker top, 4.25" x 5, and glued the beam cut out piece behind the opening. Using two layers of foam tape, I created a well for my shaker pieces and support for the rest of my card front. The shaker pieces are, Multicolor Meteorite Embellishment Mix. This mix is absolutely beautiful.
I applied glue tape around the beam opening and placed a piece of acetate on top to create the window. I removed the protective tape from foam tape and placed the top on top of the foam tape to seal in the shaker elements.
I used scrap paper in various colors to create my flying saucer and planet. I glued all the pieces on the top piece to finish the front of the card.
For the inside of the card, I used some of the scrap background with the stars to trim the top and the bottom of my sentiment piece. That is a really nice way to tie the front in with the inside.
I am just crazy about this shaker card and I hope that this post has inspired you to make one of your own. I also have a YouTube Video tutorial that is linked at the bottom of this post if you want a more detailed process.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!

I created the moon, by cutting it out of a light brown cardstock using a die from the Clean Cut Layers - Circle: Set A. I used the 10th in from the outside for the moon. I placed the Full Moon Stencil on top and inked the crater/surface with Doe Ink from Lawn Fawn.
My images were stamped and die cut from the Milky Way Stamp and coordinating die set. The images were colored with COPIC markers in the following colors:
Hello friends, I'm up on the Scrapbook Pal Blog,
with a card from the new release by Gina
K. This stamp and die set is
called Vintage
Spring and it is just beautiful and I am so excited to share this card
with you.
For the background on this card, I started with white
cardstock cut at 6” x 6”. I wanted to
keep the background coloring very soft, so I watered down some Distress Oxide
Inks on my glass surface and then randomly pressed my cardstock in the ink. Once my ink background was dry, I used the
butterfly, bird and scrip stamps to lightly ink my background also. The Distress Oxide Ink colors that I used are;
Speckled
Egg, Victorian
Velvet, Gathered
Twigs and Tattered
Rose. I also gave it a spritz
with Speckled
Egg Distress Oxide Spray.
I cut my background to 4.0” x 5.25” using the Outside
In Stitched Rectangle Stackables by Lawn Fawn.
I wanted to add a little bit of glitz, so I heat embossed some
leaf sprigs from the stamp set using Versamark
Watermark Ink Pad and Metallic
Gold Rich Wow Embossing Powder in random spots on the edges.
Using the bird and tree branch stamp with Gathered
Twigs Distress Oxide Ink, I heat embossed those images with Clear
Gloss Super Fine Wow Embossing Powder.
I did the same thing for the sentiment only I used Speckled
Eggshell Distress Oxide Ink.
I always like to have a little dimension on my cards, so sometimes, rather than use foam squares or dots, I will use the die to cut multiple layers of cardstock and then glue them together. For this card, I used two layers of cardstock in addition to the stamped image to create the dimension I was looking for with the tree branch, bird and sentiment.
To finish up this card, I cut a piece of teal cardstock with
the Large
Stitched Rectangle Die from Lawn Fawn. I used Bearly
Art Craft Glue to put everything together.
This was a really fun and quick card to make and I can’t
wait to play around with these stamps and dies in the future.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today!
