Sentimental Scripts

Hey Rosies...its EK and it is Saturday, so that means it is time for a new Theme Week over at White Rose Crafts!  This week we are getting a little Sentimental... about scripts that is.  We are celebrating the written word all week long and showing off how cool script and crafting can be with our Sentimental Scripts.

Today I am featuring three projects using Kelly Creates stamps and pens, because if we are going to get scripty, we might as well use products that make it so easy.  Feel like getting Sentimental with your script as well, then all week look you can get 20% off in the Kelly Creates section of the store using the code: GET SCRIPTY.

I started my first project with some flirty fun paper from ScrapBerry's Young and Free paper pack.  Then using some Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder from Ranger, I embossed the word Happy over and over from Kelly Creates Congratulations sentiment stamp set.

Then on another piece of Young and Free paper, I stamped in pale ink, the work birthday.  Using the sapphire pen from Kelly Creates Jewel Brush Pens set, I traced the stamped letters to look like I had the ability to do calligraphy.

I finished off the project with some sequins from Doodles Paper Playground's Sparkle Blend sequin mix in Pretty in Pink.

My second project features papers from the LemonCraft House of Roses 12x12 paper and House of Roses Ephemera cards.  I distressed the edges of the paper a little more using some Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo Distress Oxides.

I added my script with the ruby Jewel Brush Pen and Kelly Creates Quotes 1 sentimental stamp pack.

The project got finished off with some Rosy Gold Sparkle Blend sequins and I can not wait to send this card to my (not blood, but still family) grandmother.

My final project was a bit of an experiment, on that I wasn't certain that worked.  I was trying to make the card look like that sun that comes out from the clouds...but I think my colors were too off to really make it work...however, the script looked great so I included it.

The project started with some LawnFawn Polka in the Meadow paper pack and used the LawnFawn Cloudy Hillside pop up die set (obviously not popped up) to create the base of the card.

Then using both the gold and the sapphire Jewel Brush Pens I added the scripty sentiment from Kelly Creates Quotes 1 stamp pack.  The card was finished off with some Frozen Sparkle Blends sequins and some Ivory Seashell Nuvo Drops.

Thanks for peeking in today, and make sure you share any of your sentimental scripts on the Facebook...we love seeing what you create.

What Time is It... Craft O'Clock

Hey Rosies!  It's EK and I'm sneaking to let you know it's Saturday!  And since it is Saturday, that means it is time for a new challenge over at White Rose Crafts.  This week's theme is asking...What time is It?...It's Craft O'clock.

Today, I am playing around with the new brand and paper products in the WRC shop, Craft O'clock.  I decided to show how I could use one pad of Craft O'clock 6x6 paper and 1 Ephemera sheet and show several different looks you can make.

My First project features two different pieced of paper from the Ladies and Gentlemen paper pack and the one of the Ladies and Gentlemen ephemera sheet punch outs.

To enhance the papers, I added some Fade Jeans Distress Oxides around the papers and punch out.  Then I added the sentiment from the Your Next Things What Not Sentiments  with a little creative stamping.  Finally, I added some Fairy Dust Sparkle Blend sequins from Doodles Paper Playground and a little sparkle from my spectrum noir sparkle pen.

My second project features two piece of paper from the Ladies and Gentlemen paper pack, a sentiment from a third piece of paper and one of the Ladies and Gentlemen ephemera sheet punch outs.

To enhance this project, I added a white dollie and some distressing from some Crushed Olive Distress Oxides.

My final project features just one of the pieces from the  Ladies and Gentlemen paper pack, but uses both sides of the two sided paper.  I also used one of the punch outs from the Ladies and Gentlemen ephemera sheet.

To enhance this project, I used some of a dollie and some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides around the edges.  Also I stamped out a sentiment from Kelly Creates Quotes 1 and traced over it with my spectrum noir sparkle pen.

Thanks for peeking in today at my Craft O'clock projects.  Make sure you go over to WRC shop and check out the whole line of papers and ephemera they carry!

Lovely Layers and Darling Dimensionals

Hey Friends!  It's EK from ekgorman designs sneaking in today to let you know it's Saturday!

And because it's Saturday, that means that it is time for a new challenge over at White Rose Crafts.  This week we are celebrating 'Lovely Layers and Darling Dimensionals'.

What does that mean?  It means we are playing with all those precut Decoupage sheets.  If you've never seen the precut Decoupage sheets, it is punch out die cuts that are meant to be layered upon each other to make three dimensional projects.  To share two different styles of these layered precut projects I made two different projects.

My first project features the Craft UK Pretty Kitty pre-cut elements sheet, that has three different cats on it.  I punched out one of the kitties and assembled it using Woodware Mounting Pads.

Then I pulled out the ScrapBerry's Elegy Paper pack.  I wanted this card to have an elegant look about it, despite the fact it took me less than five minutes to make it.

To add a sentiment, I stamped out a sentiment from the Kelly Creates Congratulations stamp pack.  I traced over the stamped image with a metallic pen and highlighted it with my white gel pen.

Like I said the whole card took less then five minutes to make, and yet the card has a beautiful grown up elegant look to it.

My second project is from an all in one pack of paper, that has both the decoupage and holiday paper included.

The Dovecraft Polar Bears holiday paper pack, has everything you need to make a quick and yet fun card.

The polar bear and mouse was popped out and layered with the mounting pads.  Then I trimmed up the papers and layered the card.

This card took even less time to craft than the kitty card, and is perfect for any last minute cards you need to make.

The really cool thing about these decoupage sheets is that they are really budget friendly!  They allow you to create fun projects without the need of a die cutting machine and tons of different dies.  And all week (till Friday August 24th) you can get an additional 10% off your purchase from the Card Kits, Die Cuts, Decoupage, & Toppers section of the WRC store using the code: 10 dimensions!
