ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop

Hi friends! Today I have two simple and clean Christmas cards made for ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop!

This hop is an one-day event where STAMPlorations ladies feature the 8 stencils designed by Sanna. Sanna's stencils are now in the STAMPlorations store, you can check out this page for more details.

Here're my cards using Christmas Tree 1 and Leaves 2.

For this CAS card, I'm showcasing Christmas Tree 1 stencil. I first applied mowed lawn and peacock feathers distress inks on white cardstock.

Moved the stencil slightly and also drew the tree outlines with black pen. 

Then, I cut the cardstock to isosceles triangle shape and adhered it to kraft card.

I also stamped the sentiment below the tree, so the sentiment looks like tree stem.

To finish off, I added a red star on the top of the tree.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second card, I started by putting the stencil on white panel and applying embossing paste.

I also embossed the paste in gold.

Next, I adhered the panel on the center of card with foam for some dimension.

To finish off, I cut the sentiment from Be Jolly Phrase Die.

Thank you for standing by!

How to create a buttery easel card using an effect sticker

Hello! Today I'd like to share my newest light up card for Chibitronics with you!

I was inspired by easel card and decided to use Chibitronics circuit stickers on my card.

Buttery is perfect for easel card. To create my card, I prepared one 3-fold card, one cardstock, one foam with the same size as the cardstock, two butterfly die cuts, and the most importantly are copper tape, circuit stickers and effect sticker.

I started by cutting a butterfly “window” on the cardstock, adhered vellum behind the “window” ,and then inlaid the butterfly die cut into the “window”.

Next, drew a butterfly outline onto the 3-fold card.
Since I wanted to build the circuit onto the 3-fold card, I drew the circuit template in advance.

For my circuit, I combined advanced circuit template with parallel ! The advanced circuit is that putting some effects stickers into circuit to make your LEDs fade, blink, twinkle or pulse a heartbeat rhythm.
And my card is showcasing the heartbeat effect sticker.

Take a closer look at the circuit!

You can check out this page for more advanced circuit template information.

After creating the circuit, I sandwiched the foam between the cardstock and 3-folder card which has circuit on it. I also heat embossed the other butterfly die cut and adhered it onto the inlaid butterfly for some dimension.

To finish off, I stamped the sentiment in black and used some sequins and pearls for embellishment.

Here’s the step by step video or you can watch it over on my YouTube Channel:

The supplies I used are:
Circuit Stickers Effects Add-On,
Pink, Orange, Green MegaPack (30 stickers),
Red, Yellow, Blue MegaPack (30 stickers),
White LEDs MegaPack (30 stickers),
Copper Tape,

scrapbook + planner spread

Today I have a quick post to share my latest scrapbook and weekly planner spread.

The sketch of this scrapbook is from Stuck sketch challenge.

When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of  the photos about trip with my family in Oct.

For this scrapbook, I first added some soft watercolors and splashes onto  the baclground.

To follow the sketch I added two photos and one journaling card which was the perfect for my theme. 

I then layered the photos with patterned papers from Felicity Jane and Kikkik.k. I also added a vellum and lace underneath them.

Those florals and adorable embellishments are from Prebbleinc and butterfly die cut is from STAMPlorations

The last step was to add a "beautiful" title from STAMPlorations die and do some stamping which are form  STAMPlorations and Citrus Twist. I also added some sewing to give the layout a little more depth and interest.  

I'm entering to the following challenge:

Stuck sketches November 1 2017 Challenge Featured Layout #1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this weekly planner spread, I added some stamping, cute stickers and little squirrels drew by my self.

Then, colored them with markers. All colors were inspired by THE INK ROAD STAMPS NOVEMBER COLOR CHALLENGE.

Thanks so much for visiting!

light up planner divider and tag using Chibitronics and Sweet Stamp 手帳生活 手帳裝飾

Hello, today I have two projects made for collaboration between Chibitronics and Sweet Stamp.

I spent much time to think how to promote the use of Chibitronics products to my daily life, as I don't want to create light up cards all the time. I'm addicted to planner design recently, so I decided to made a light up planner divider and tag to decorate my planner.

The stamp I used is Sweet Stamp Shops set "THIS GUY " and The sticker is "DRAGON - STICKER" .

I started by stamping and coloring the dragon on a piece of card stock.

For the circuit template, I used simple circuit since I only wanted to light up the fire. After sticking the copper tape and orange LED, I made a switch. I cut a piece of paper and added copper tape on it so that when the switch is connected to the circuit, the LED turns on. When pulling the switch out, the LED turns off.  

I then added grass shaped foam and green paper in order to hide the battery. To make the LED more brighter, I cut a hole on the fire and added a piece of vellum.

To finish off, I added a cloud shaped vellum and also stuck the rainbow, castle as well as heart stickers on it. 

I have a video for you too. Please check my YouTube channel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the tag, I'm featuring LED lights from Chibitronics red, yellow, blue megapack  and Sweet Stamp Shop "FALL INTO - STICKER".

I first colored the Christmas images with markers and then stuck them onto the patterned paper.

Next, I cut holes on the noses and star then added vellum behind the holes.

For this tag, I used parallel circuit because I want to turn on three LEDs with on battery. I also made the same switch as the planner divider's above.

To finish off, I added a white panel which has three circle on it.

You can watch the video tutorial  on My YouTube Channel.
