Day 2 of the All Tthat Scraps April release!

It's the second day for the All That Scraps April release showcase and today we showcasing the new Lil Lads and Lolitas, Mashi's Muffins and Drozy's Darlings.  I have two DT makes for you today and here is the first...

He he!  I love this guy, he reminds of American Dad but less of a psycho!  This is Mashi's Muffins' Dad and don't you love the ties and glasses?  These are from the new CC Cutters Guys Dies.  It's got a moustache in it too but I just couldn't fit it on!  I used sentiments from the AmyR Stamps All Men sentiment set.  The papers are by Designs by Dani called Dapper Dan and I used the sketch from this week's new Tuesday Morning Sketches - I'm their Guest Designer this month!

Here is my second card using the new Lil Lads and Lolitas...

Awww, aren't they lovely?  This is Eric and Christina and I also used the C.C. Designs Cutters Olive Branch and a sentiment from the AmyR Stamps Handy Additions Sentiments set.   I used My Minds Eye papers.

Day 2 of the All That Scraps new February release preview!

It's the second day for the All That Scraps February release preview and today we showcasing the Mashi's Muffin newbies.  Here is my DT make...

I used Mashi's Muffin Fan, Lines of Lanterns and AmyR Eggstra Special Sentiments.  I think Mashi's Muffin girls are always so cool!  I'm going to send this to one of my relatives for the upcoming Cinese New Year.  I added quite a lot of Stickles Glitter glue in Star Dust to the fan, lanterns and flowers in the BasicGrey paper to make it pop.  Here's a closer look...

All That Scraps December release review!

We are reviewing more gorgeous the All that Scraps  December new release!  Today we are showcasing the cool and fun Mashi's Muffins and Lil Lads and Lolitas.   Here is my DT make...

I love this cute guy!  He is Mashi's Muffins Cupid and AmyR Stamps Love Always Sentiments.  I used digi papers by Meghan Mullens from her Do What You Love collection - I think this is perfect for the guys, not too soppy!   

For my second card, I used Lil Lolita Spanish Willow, Webbie's Words Love Nuggets Sentiments set and C.C. Cutters Heart & Scalloped Heart die... 

 

I used Bo Bunny papers from the Love Bandit collection and an embossing folder on the white background  (although you can't see it very well!).   Check out more Lil Lolita and Mashi Muffin inspiration over at the blog here. 

Thanks for visiting and see you Friday with my Bellarific Friday post!

I also used C.C. Cutters Mini Banners die already in the store and the cute heart is from the C.C. Cutters Cocoa And Coffee die set.  I used Bo Bunny papers which I also used to paper piece her dress and then shaded with my lighter Copic Cs.  I loved how this turned out but I think it's too cutesy to give to my husband!

Tutorial for creating a raised banner

Here is a quick tutorial that I had created for All That Scraps last week on how to make a raised banner like this...

What you need is the sentiment you want to use and a two ended fishtail banner.  I used a die, but if you don't have one then you can follow my tutorial here to create your own.

So after I stamped my sentiment onto the centre of my banner, I score two lines on one side of the sentiment.  I use my Score-Pal to do this and you can just about see the score lines in the picture below...

I then turn the sentiment upside down and score at the same place, obviously so that it's on the other side of the sentiment, as highlighted by the black arrow in the picture below...

I then crease at the folds to create the raised banner which you can see better in this photo here...

All that is left to do is to stick it on to your project!  Here is my finished card using with the raised banner and using Mashi's Muffins Farmer Fran and a AmyR Stamps Many Thanks sentiment...

I hope you found my tutorial useful - as usual, if you have any questions leave a comment to this post and I'll get back to you.
