 Γεια σας και ευχαριστούμε, είναι Vicky εδώ και σήμερα θα σημανήσω 10 καρδιά χρησιμοποιών από την Καρδιά Νοβέμπρου by Simon Says Stamp Αλλά πρώτα, ας δούμε ένα σημαντικό δοκιμό για ό,τι συμβεί. Αυτό είναι ένα παράδειγμα από 6 πατραφλάσεις από Τυμ Holtz. Έχεις also αυτή αυτή η σημαντική σημαντική. Έχεις also these satin sequins, you get two craft envelopes and two tags, an orange envelope and you also get a big stamp set. Now this is called Thanks and Leaves. It's packed with sentiments and a really big collection of leaves. This is a sticker book by Tim Holtz. It has really funny quotes inside, which I think I'm going to keep for my art journals. And finally you get these four colors of cardstock. So first I'm going to show you how I'm going to create two cards using the two tags included in the kit. So I'm starting on this panel that I have cut out from the card craft cardstock that was included in the kit. By the way, with all the cardstock included, I just cut it in 4.25 x 5.5 panels and I work on them as if they are my card base and when they are finished I can easily stick them at the front of a card that I have in my stash. So all I did in this panel was to ink up the edges with Distress Oxid ink and that was vintage photo and I'm going to stamp the leaves. I have a bunch of leaves in the stamp set so I can play around with them. As you can see I'm going to mix colors directly on top of my stamp and for that I'm going to use my finger to blend in the colors. I don't want to contaminate those two inkpads. So I'm touching my stamp on different areas of the inkpads making sure that I don't touch the two colors and then with my finger I can blend them out. Now I'm going to stamp in a different area and I will repeat the same process, stamping even more leaves all around my card. Now I went with three colors for my background which are Spiced Marmalade, Fire Brick and Pilt Paint and of course for the brown I used Vintage Photo. I think that these create a lovely fall combination and by the way I have a baby wipe close by that you can't see on camera right now where I am using to clean my finger after each stamping. And here is my finished background as you can see I didn't fill in the center since I'm planning to cover it up with my tag. So I'm going to chop off the bottom of my tag and I'm going to use that part of the tag to stamp one more leaf. Again I'm using the same technique of mixing different colors and blending them with my finger directly on top of the stamp and then I'm going to use my scissors to cut out this little leaf. Now as I'm cutting it out I will make sure to leave a border and this border is going to be the exact same color as my tag so everything is going to match nicely. I used a little bit of my green cardstock at the bottom of my tag just to extend it even more and to add a touch of green there. I'm also inking up the edges using my blending tool and Distress Oxiding. Again this is Vintage Photo the exact same brown that I used for the background and with that brown I'm also going to stamp my sentiment that says Sending Hugs. I'm going to stick the leaf at the center of the tag by using a foam square at the back and to embellish my tag I'm going to thread some bias binding in cream color and also tie a bow with a thread and at this stage I felt that the green part of the tag was too empty so I decided to stamp the same sentiment with green ink and this is Build Paint it's the same color that I used for the background I used foam square set the back of my tag to stick it on top of my background and now I'm adding some finishing touches with copper nouveau drops Here are some close up photos on the first card for today and I'm going to share now another idea on how you can use a tag on top of a card. Now I will go for a more clean and simple look for this card so I'm stamping the sentiment I used Dark Chocolate Ink by Simon Says Stamp and I'm also stamping a leaf using green leaf Simon Says Stamp ink I used my scissors to cut out this leaf making sure that I left a little border I'm going to add some foam square set the back and stick it on top of my tag to embellish it and just like I did with my first tag I'm using some seam binding and I'm going to tie a little knot all around that using this time a green thread that matches my cardstock Now you can stick this tag directly on top of your panel and I call it done I decided to add something subtle at the background so that it's not super empty and I'm just using a polka dot stamp here and again I used leaf green ink pad for a tone on tone look now I'm going to stick the tag directly on top using foam square set the back and because I am addicted to nouveau drops I just had to add some little dots here and there I used bottle green nouveau drops and it's one of their metallics In the card kit you get six metallic butterflies by team holds and I'm going to create three cards using up all the butterflies just to show you a few ideas on how you can use them so here I'm just arranging them one underneath the other and I'm leaving a little gap in between two of the butterflies so that I can stop there my sentiment I am going to keep this card very clean and simple I stamped the sentiment with black ink and I'm going to stick them down to stick them down I'm using foam squares at the back they do have some curve underneath their wings and those foam squares nest nicely inside they don't add extra bulk on the card and just because you have such a heavy embellishment like a metal butterfly it's always nice to leave those kind of cards quite simple now let's move on to another card using the butterflies I am using a panel of the orange cardstock that's four and a quarter by five and a half and I'm going to stamp the sentiment at the bottom I'm stamping with VersaMarketing I'm going to apply white embossing powder and hit set it and my sentiment says thank you is not enough and I actually combine two different sentiments to create my sentiment so here I'm going to stamp the is not enough and here my panel is ready I'm going to add some tape adhesive and I'm going to stick on top a piece of white cardstock that I have that is slightly cut on an angle so now again I'm going to use foam squares at the back of the butterflies and stick them there and if you want you can add a trail if you have such a stamp coming out of your butterflies or you can add little dots of nuvo drops so many different ways to make the butterflies even more I decided to add a different texture on my card and for that I'm going to use orange thread I need to have some notches on each side of this panel so that my thread is going to be nicely tucked on each side and it's not going to move on me so now I can easily wrap it all around a couple of times and then tie a bow and if you are really observant you might notice that I changed the butterflies I just wanted the big one to be at the top now I have only one butterfly left so I'm going to use that as well I have created a little window panel there I'm stamping the sentiment at the bottom that says family is everything again I stamped with VersaMarking I'm going to apply white embossing powder and then heat set everything I used foam squares at the back of this panel and I'm going to stick it on top of a white card base and I'm not going for a shaker card here I just want to have a lovely way to nest my butterfly inside so this is going to be my focal point again foam squares at the back stick it at the center and my card is finished a really quick and easy card and I used up all of the butterflies that I had in the kit now let's move on and create some more cards that are perfect for fall so here I have just stamped the sentiment with VersaMarking and I embossed it with white embossing powder and if you noticed I used my ruler there and a pencil to draw a line so that I know exactly where I am going to stick my banner later on my sentiment banner now this pencil line is not going to be seen by anyone later on since I will make sure that I'm going to cover it up now I'm going to stamp some of the leaves using three different colors of ink the ink that I'm using are by Simon Says Stamp and they are Leaf Green the brown that I'm using is called Dark Chocolate and I'm also using burnt orange now I'm going to switch between all those different leaves that come in the set and I don't do any mixing of colors here like I did for the first card I just go stamping a solid image directly on top of my card base and I absolutely love this color combo for full cards now I'm using a tiny little dot stamp that I had in my stash you can easily find a dot like this from if you chop off the dot at the end of a sentence from a stamp that you probably have I'm going to stamp a little dot here and there to fill in the gaps I'm not using any new inks here I'm just using the ones that I have on my table and I like those dots because not only they fill in the gaps but I also create a lovely whimsical look and you will see me repeat this idea in the next cards as well I used foam tape at the back of my panel to stick it on top and if you notice here I also used very thin strips of brown cardstock for my next card I'm working on the craft cardstock I have cut it out into a smaller panel and I'm stamping my sentiment that says friends are the family you choose again I will use the same color palette as the previous card so for the brown I'm using dark chocolate and now I'm going to belly this panel by using some of the leaves again using leaf green burnt orange and of course dark chocolate and when you stamp with the brown you will find that it's going to cover up completely what's underneath so the colors are not going to blend in and look strange it is going to look as if the brown leaf was on top of the others so no masking needed here and here is again the same idea adding some tiny little dots to fill in the gaps and the dots are coming towards the sentiment I repeated the same process on the opposite corner of my panel to create a little leaf cluster there and now I'm adding some extra dots with whiting this time just to add some highlights here and there now you can stick this panel to the top of a card base and you can call it done I decided to show you one more way to take it a step further and to add a lovely design at the background of your card so here I'm using one of the leaves and my white ink I love this white ink on craft cardstock I'm going all around the border and I don't care about what is going to happen at the center since this is going to be covered with a panel at the end but with these kits I always share a shaker card I can't stay away from them especially when the kit comes with sequence so as you can see I have already prepared my panel I have cut out a window and covered it up at the back with acetate and now I'm going to stamp the sentiment again I'm going with a thank you card I am stamping with VersaMarkink and I'm going to apply anti gold embossing powder this is by Simon's stamp and it is going to give the exact same color as the sequence that are included in the kit and I was so pleased to find that out these are the little joys of card making I guess now the shaker card is finished the basic mechanism but it looks very plain as it is so all I did was to stamp a few of the leaves on top of craft cardstock and cut them out now again I used the exact same palette as I did for the previous card so again dark chocolate, burnt orange and green leaf a bunch of them and I will create a little cluster on one side of my window there and check here how the color of my sentiment matches perfectly the color of my sequence now I'm just tying a bow with some thread I'm going to stick it at the bottom of my flower cluster you can use your white glue your glossy accents to keep it in place I decided to go with glue dots here and my card is finished for the next card for a very clean looking card at the bottom of this panel I'm going to stamp the sentiment with dark chocolate ink by Simon's stamp the sentiment says sending hugs and again I'm going to use the exact same color palette like the rest of the cards I do have these inks on my table so I'm going to use these again and again so again dark chocolate green leaf and burnt orange I am stamping some leaves coming from one side of the panel toward the other side I don't want it to be super busy I just want to have just a few leaves as if the wind is blowing them all the way across the card and again here the same idea with the dots so since these cards match in terms of color and of ideas with the dots and they have so many similarities they can easily be part of a card set so you can put them all together and hand them out as a gift I matted my panel with green cardstock and I'm sticking that on top of my card base by using foam squares at the back to add some dimension and I'm going to finish it off by using some crystal glaze this is a product by Novo but if you have glossy accent you can use that instead I'm just going to add some of that product over the leaves and the dots that I have on my card this is going to turn them shiny they do look milky at the moment but it's going to try completely clear and it's going to give a lovely shine and an extra touch of something on my card and finally for the last card let's do a fun technique the one with the distressed oxide dinks where you smoosh the color on your craft mat and then I apply on top your paper this is actually watercolor paper so that I can apply as much water as I want to I'm going to play around with this background until I'm happy with how it looks but in between the layers I'm going to make sure that I dry them out and I had those two colors on my table from the first card so I thought why not using them again so the two colors that I'm using here are spiced marmalade and fired brick and there is some reason in this madness that you see me doing here I actually want to have the darker area at the center and at the edges I need it to be lighter since I'm planning to stamp at the center my sentiment now I'm going to use this die to cut out a panel out of this background that I created which is slightly smaller than the standard card and now I can stamp my sentiment on top and I'm trying to stamp on watercolor paper with lots of texture here so I need to stamp it a couple of times I white embossed my sentiment and now I'm going to add some stamping around the corners and here I'm using fired brick which is one of the colors that I used for the background but since this is not watered down it is going to look darker than the background and I really love this touch I used foam tape at the back to place this panel on white card base and here are some close up photos of the card where you can see that I also added some nouveau drops here and there and here are all the 10 cards that I created for today using products from the November card kit by Simon Says Tum you will find a full list of all the supplies that I
