Even Superheroes Have Bad Days!

Hello crafty friends!  Do you have a superhero in your life?  I wanted to make a card that acknowledges that even heroes, such as this one, can have challenging days, also!  

When I saw the Super Hero Saying Brads, I couldn't wait to use them!  I knew that they would be amazing with this cute image of my favorite female superhero!  The brads paired perfectly with my image and patterned paper!  I also added the beautiful Red Glitter Enamel Dots to complete my card! 

Shopping List: 

Super Hero Saying Brads

Glitter Enamel Dots - Red

I have so many projects in my head that these will be the perfect embellishment for and I can't wait to use them again.  

We would love it if you would leave a comment and share with us who your favorite superhero is, and if you have a real-life superhero, who are they? 

Thanks so much for sending a few minutes with me!

Washi Tape Masking with MISTI Gel Press Plate Printing

Today I'm going to share with you cards I made using a stamping and masking technique using Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape, my Gel Press Plate and My MISTI.

I started with a piece of 4 1/2" x 6" watercolor paper.  I attached my 5" x 7" Gel Press Plate to my MISTI and stamped it several times using Yellow Ink to create the base.

Next I attached Glitter Washi Tape to create my grid design (I used glitter washi tape because it came in three different widths and it resisted the ink very well).  After it was attached, I inked my Gell Press Plate with Blue Ink and stamped until I had good coverage (which created the fun green when the two inks combined).

I removed the tape, which left the yellow stripes below.  I also took a Ghost Print, which is stamping on a second piece of Water Color Paper with the ink that was left on the Gel Press Plate, which creates sort of a reverse pattern since there was more ink where it didn't sink into the Washi Tape.

Final step was to make some fun cards.  Sentiments are perfect to stamp in the Washi Tape resist lines.

Here's my first card featuring a sentiment from Essentials by Ellen Crafty Ladies together with a Triangle Brad & a Super Hero Saying Brad (because Crafty Friends are Super Heroes).

For the Ghost Print, I stamped a large bold sentiment from EBE Crafty Ladies and added two different widths of Black Glitter Washi Tape along the washi lines in the background.

I embellished with an Eyelet Outlet Paper Flower (topped with a smaller flower from my stash) and piece of black bumpy bling for the center.

Here's one more I made also combining some Wide Washi Tape to provide a wider area for sentiment stamping.

This sentiment is from Joy Claire Hello Sentiments.  I added some Gold Glitter Washi Tape to frame the sentiment and finished with Pink and Maroon Glitter Enamel Dots.

SUPER Valentines

Super-Hero Valentines are fun for little guys (and probably some bigger guys too) ... and Eyelet Outlet's Super Hero Saying Brads make them even more fun.

I started with a Captain America sticker and then added my Bang! Pow! & Boom! which lends a fun comic book feel.  

I printed my sentiment and put the card together using this week's CAS(E) this Sketch.

Spider-Man works great too with some extra Pow! and Boom!.

Eyelets add just the right amount of dimension while still keeping your cards mailable.
