It’s Saturday and time for another
fun challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids! This year, all challenges at
SAS4Kids are Anything Goes 4 Kids! We will often have an alternative theme
that you can choose to follow, but are not required to. Create and link any card
that is appropriate for a child and your card could be chosen as one of our top
three cards and you could join us as a guest dt member on a future challenge.
I created a card for an awesome
kid using a Lego napkin and my Heidi Swapp Minc Mini. To learn how to do that
easily, watch my video
here. I die cut U R using large alpha dies from Kat Scrappiness and raised
them on black foam. The “awesome” die is from Tonic Studios.
Be sure to check out the rest of
the cards from TEAM SAS here and we
would love it if you entered our challenge.
I recently found some gorgeous napkins with flowers and wood planks and I created a bunch of cards with them and my Minc Mini. I explain how to do that easily in my latest video here.
A dear friend is celebrating an April birthday and I made her this card with the napkin Minc technique, the eclipse technique (using the Condensed Alphabet Dies from Kat Scrappiness) and some great dies from Karen Burniston. I love the Happy Birthday die from Karen B. especially when it is layered. I used the Spinner Square Pop Up die from Karen Burniston to add a LOL surprise when the card is opened. The stamps in the center pieces are from Suzanne Cannon for Elizabeth Crafts and the Celebrate is from Tonic Studios.
Here are a couple more cards I made with same napkins:
It is so easy to make lovely cards with beautiful napkins, cling wrap, some dies and a Heidi Swapp Minc Machine as I share in this week's video here. The first card features a Gina Marie Designs Background Floral die and Greetings from IO. The second card shows Tim Holtz Sizzix new Planks Bigz Die and the Blessings die and stamp set from Hero Arts.
I am entering the first card in the birthday challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.
I recently bought a Heidi Swapp Minc Mini and am loving how well it foils but also how easily it attachs napkins to cardstock for gorgeous cards! Remember using an iron and how time consuming and frustrating that could get? Once through the Minc machine and the napkin holds tightly to the cardstock with cling wrap and I show that technique in my newest video here. Here is a peak at the inside of this lovely thank you card that I show step by step how to make in the video:
I also show several ways to add glitter to your napkin cards and these are the cards I made with those techniques:
It is so hard to show the sparkle of the glitter in still pictures, so be sure to click here and watch the video for all the details and in the description box are links to all the products used.
I am entering the last card in the birthday challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.
