It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.<br /><br />"I promise to send an original creation to the 1st 5 people who leave a comment here.

It is a very simple process. </div><br /><div></div>Step 1:Before you can stamp you will need to prepare your material to except the image by sanding it down. <br /><div>Step 2: Stamp your shrink material with Starzon Ink.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589722867614751346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1dGblF2lWbU/TZKvVR0OGnI/AAAAAAAAAJc/tU2zmqyTv7I/s400/100_1181.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589723108284870466" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pknKV1IPyH8/TZKvjSYcr0I/AAAAAAAAAJk/j9uZ1KUUO6g/s400/100_1182.JPG" /></div></div></div><br /><p>Step 3: Color your image with color pencils. It will look very, very light. To the point that you can bearly tell that there is any color. Once it shrinks the color will be much darker.</p><br /><p>Step 4: If you are going to use the material as a charm or any other reason that you need a whole, you must put a hole in it now, before you heat it.</p><br /><p>Step 5: Using a heat gun start to heat the material. It will start to shrink and fold up on itself, so don't get scared it curls up. just keep using the heat gun, until it is completely shrunk.</p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589724107343889474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ar98PUNL1Bc/TZKwdcKrhEI/AAAAAAAAAJs/-_-87RQyiM4/s400/100_1183.JPG" /> Here are a few shrinks that I made using Magnolia stamps. I finished them by adding Glossy Accents to give it a shine. When I took this picture they were is in the drying stage, which is why they look foggy. Also, in this project I used the matte finish of the shrink material. On another project I used the clear, which I liked better, since it had more of a clear finish. However the Matte finish gave it a more used, old kind of look. So it completely depends on which way you want it to look. <br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589725244320715186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EI8jF4wGf4A/TZKxfnvFEbI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/yOt3bL6MQws/s400/100_1189.JPG" /></p></div><br /><p></p><br /><p>Thank you for taking the time to look at my project.

My very first time as a guest designer, so I am very honored to be here on TheBugBytes!!!! My name is Lisa AKA Fairydust0218 from Cuttle Fairies Express, <a href="http://cuttlefairiesexpress.blogspot.com/">http://cuttlefairiesexpress.blogspot.com/</a> .<br /><br />SO the challenge was using the Robotz cartridge! Lets just say we are not very good friends, lol! I have made a unique card using this cartridge, but I want to do something a little bit different. I am so use to hearing that this cartridge is a "boys" cartridge, so I wanted to show it can be for girls to!<br /><br />I decided to do a spinning girl robot on this very simple and easy card.<br /><br />First I choose which robot I wanted and laid out all the layers on my Gypsy.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519629469428848034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TJmpwhkVlaI/AAAAAAAAAII/v_bQyIelllQ/s400/100_1267.JPG" /><br />I then picked out my colors that I wanted and matched up the colors to my Gypsy layout.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519629943209303010" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TJmqMGiZm-I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/f6S5rcxjXtk/s400/100_1257.JPG" />I then put my layers of robot pieces together and embellished with a little bit of stickles.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519630599992566258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TJmqyVPu4fI/AAAAAAAAAIY/wWNrR3RVEPo/s400/100_1261.JPG" /><br />My card is normal A2 size and the robot was cut at 3 inches. To embellish the card I did a faux white stitch around the boarder of the card. I used button stamps with versa-mark (which I only used to to make a watermark not to emboss) to make a slight background. I didn't want to take away from the focal point being the robot. I used a stampin up slot punch to make the slot in the card. (There are tons of how-to's on YouTube on how to do this type of card so I wont go into much detail) I then stamped a small stamp with white white ink to put the final touch on the card. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519633751786605810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TJmtpyl_TPI/AAAAAAAAAIg/bu7teQouJ60/s400/100_1265.JPG" /><br />When you move the card from side to side the robot spins! I hope you enjoyed my creation using the Robotz card, and that you come and visit me on my blog. I would also like to thank Pam for letting me have this opportunity to design for her blog. Thanks everyone!<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-5190305599676919532010-09-04T18:12:00.000-07:002010-09-04T18:26:11.527-07:00UTEE Flowers<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TILwcAPra2I/AAAAAAAAAH8/ILBcroWa8LA/s1600/100_1228.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513233257747671906" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TILwcAPra2I/AAAAAAAAAH8/ILBcroWa8LA/s400/100_1228.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I found this method on making UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder) flowers on the Cricut Message boards. The lady who posted it made such an awsome video there really isnt a need to go into detail about how I did them. Here is the link to her video/blog 217 Creations <a href="http://217creations.blogspot.com/2010/07/glazed-flower-altered-keychain-olive-3d.html">http://217creations.blogspot.com/2010/07/glazed-flower-altered-keychain-olive-3d.html</a> </div><div> </div><div>The only difference between hers and mine is that my flowers were pre-assembled. I used the Tim Holtz style of making the flowers, and then dipped them in the UTEE. Once they were fully coated, I used the heat gun to smooth it out, and to take off any extra thick pieces. Also, I had to be very careful with my flowers, because I used hot glue to glue them together the UTEE would melt the glue, and at time the flower would want to break apart. </div><div> </div><div>Once I got the hang of making them I really do now enjoy them alot! Making my own flowers is a lot cheaper then buying them, and I can make them in the colors I want!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-4066850369442697882010-06-25T03:57:00.000-07:002010-06-25T04:05:32.378-07:00Vintage style paint can<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TCSNHZKbodI/AAAAAAAAAHo/tzAvQdlV37s/s1600/100_1016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486665404197347794" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TCSNHZKbodI/AAAAAAAAAHo/tzAvQdlV37s/s400/100_1016.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TCSM1ihgDdI/AAAAAAAAAHg/9BC4Ny33Ztc/s1600/100_1015.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486665097472380370" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TCSM1ihgDdI/AAAAAAAAAHg/9BC4Ny33Ztc/s400/100_1015.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here is a paint can I decorated. It was fairly simple. Just some rhinestones, Tim Holtz style flowers, ribbon, and pearls. I couldn't find the ribbon and pearls in the colors and styles I needed so I brought my Copic markers out and changed them into the colors I did need. On the flowers, I used Glimmer mist and distress ink to make it look the way they do. I hope you like it, and if you have any questions just let me know.</div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-80103689082240318552010-06-05T17:41:00.000-07:002010-06-05T17:57:46.968-07:00Great American Scrapbook ConventionI have been waiting for months and FINALLY, I was able to go! I had fun, and spent way to much. But, it was a one day thing so I will recover.... one day, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. OK, so there were so many great things, and so many product demos that I had to bypass do to the limited amount of time I had there. By far my favorite booth was the Tim <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Holtz</span> booth, it wasn't named that but it was his. The Second had to be Tattered Angels, I always thought it was over rated until I actually saw them in person. I had so many ideas of projects that I can do with the products I got from these to places so maybe I can actually sit down and do some with my kids out of school for the Summer. Enough of me rambling here are a couple pictures I have to share. One of Tim <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Holtz</span> doing his demo, and the other my haul of the day<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479457834363733506" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TArx3nL7RgI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/bP4A3z_8AXg/s400/tim2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479457828301856354" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/TArx3QmqXmI/AAAAAAAAAHI/U_H2H6a4B3Y/s400/haul2.jpg" /><br /><p>There were a couple of things I wish I would have gotten, but I think I did a good job of getting only the things I know I couldn't find in a store near me. But I know I will now be looking for some of those things online and getting them a little at a time.</p><p> </p>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-18856605556144897202010-05-09T21:16:00.000-07:002010-05-09T21:30:31.819-07:00Tilda<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-eJAoLAkKI/AAAAAAAAAGg/cPrkpxobqbM/s1600/100_0870.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469490916341354658" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-eJAoLAkKI/AAAAAAAAAGg/cPrkpxobqbM/s320/100_0870.JPG" /></a> Whew! Two Tilda's one day! This was my second card I made for Mother's Day. Of course, I colored with Copic markers, which I am seriously addicted to! This Tilda is slightly taller then some of the other Tilda's so my recently bought Nestibilites were to small for this Tilda. So what I did was whip out my Gypsy and made a round scalloped circle into a oval one!!! It worked and boy did it save my life! I stamped the word "Mother" unto a piece of cardstock, and put some Tim Holtz distress ink on the sides to complete my sentiment. I then got some Stampin Up Filigree charms, which I then colored with my Copic's to match colors I had already used. The laced ribbon on the bottom is more of a beige color but my camera makes all my cards look a lot brighter then they really are! That completed my card!<br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-58533650367763110222010-05-09T03:30:00.000-07:002010-05-09T03:45:50.754-07:00Midsummer Nights Tilda<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-aPde1Is_I/AAAAAAAAAGY/u8OWGRhp2sc/s1600/100_0864.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469216534142956530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-aPde1Is_I/AAAAAAAAAGY/u8OWGRhp2sc/s320/100_0864.JPG" /></a> I just love the Fairytale Collection that Magnolia just released! This is Midsummer Night Tilda. I colored her with Copic Sketch Markers. This was the first time I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities, and I will now need to buy more. They were fairly simple to use and it gives a since of elegance to the image. I found the beaded lace at my LSS and at first I wasn't to happy with it on the card. When I bought it, it was solid white! I just didn't like how all the white was taking away from Tilda's pretty greenish blue dress. So I got the Copic marker that I had used on the dress and colored the lace! I <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">just</span> heard about using Copic's to color other objects just a couple of days ago! I am so happy I did, because it would have been a pain to try to find lace that matched this card. This is the card I will be giving my mom for Mother's day, and I still need to make one for my Mother In-Law. That's what I get for waiting till the last minute. <br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-66441050381949600992010-05-04T13:47:00.001-07:002010-05-04T13:55:16.300-07:00Card with Mo Manning, and Copic<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-CIG9ZmezI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/DpPLRcBn9nY/s1600/100_0823.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467519600770317106" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S-CIG9ZmezI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/DpPLRcBn9nY/s320/100_0823.JPG" /></a> I am just loving the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Copic</span> Sketch Markers. This is the first none Magnolia image I have colored and I think it cam out great. Not to mention having the right type of paper makes a really big difference. My <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">camera</span> was having a really hard time keeping the image focused once I pressed the shout button, so after many takes this was the best one. I am very disappointed in it since it lost the brightness of the colors and the pink card stock looks really light. Which by the way they are not. I gave up trying as it was 5:30 in the morning and I needed sleep. <br /><br />Of course it was my fault for joining a swap in the 12<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Th</span> hour, when everyone has had months to prepare and send in their cards. But, I think I did a good job after all. Plus, I made 10 of these so yes very time consuming and not as fun as just making one card.<br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-91936969251858677252010-04-14T21:15:00.001-07:002010-04-14T21:45:08.949-07:00Using Film and Fiber with the Cuttlebug<div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTWNZ54TI/AAAAAAAAAFw/K63-a-BbPvQ/s1600/100_0790.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460213607998021938" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTWNZ54TI/AAAAAAAAAFw/K63-a-BbPvQ/s320/100_0790.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div>To the left is Film. There are a couple different kinds, however I went with Angelina Film because I found a great site with good prices, and fast shipping. Its to good to go with a variety of colors, because once you pair it with the fibers you can achieve many different looks.</div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTVsyKNZI/AAAAAAAAAFo/sQChx75pKk0/s1600/100_0789.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460213599241385362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTVsyKNZI/AAAAAAAAAFo/sQChx75pKk0/s320/100_0789.JPG" /></a> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>This is the fiber, its not the typical fiber you would think of. This fiber and film are heat bondable. What I mean by this is with heat these materials will become one. My process is to get two pieces of film and place a little bit of fiber between the two sheets.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTWtrmMHI/AAAAAAAAAF4/_onFyqXenQM/s1600/100_0794.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460213616662163570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTWtrmMHI/AAAAAAAAAF4/_onFyqXenQM/s320/100_0794.JPG" /></a></div><div align="left"><br />Once I do that I place those pieces between two sheets of paper. I usually just grab some paper from my printer. I then place a iron with a low setting on top of the sheets of paper for a couple seconds. I then check to see if it is bonded if not then I re-do if for a couple more seconds. I almost always have to trim the fibers that did not stay in between the sheets of film, but that's OK.</div><div align="left"><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTXPj2LZI/AAAAAAAAAGA/9iJyqFtsXaY/s1600/100_0795.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460213625756462482" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTXPj2LZI/AAAAAAAAAGA/9iJyqFtsXaY/s320/100_0795.JPG" /></a>I figured out which Cuttlebug folders I wanted to use and passed through it, with the die cut I did have to use a piece of card stock as a shim. For the A2 size used Angelina film color Crystal Amethyst and Angelina Fiber Red Wing Flash. For the butterfly I used the same film but with Angelina Fiber Desert sunset sparkle. Its hard to show in picture form how these fibers look, however they are very fine and have a sparkle to it.<br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTXcrqetI/AAAAAAAAAGI/GVQcJAfE4oM/s1600/100_0800.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460213629278911186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S8aTXcrqetI/AAAAAAAAAGI/GVQcJAfE4oM/s320/100_0800.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I took this picture in low light trying to get the best picture I could. It was taken on top of both black and white card stock to show the different out comes just a piece of paper behind it can give it way different out comes. With the black paper you see more of the red and pink, and with the white it shows more of the yellow. You can also see with the butterfly that making these can give a great 3D effect to any project.</div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-12452693627395275652010-04-11T20:36:00.000-07:002010-04-11T20:46:04.961-07:00Gypsy Simple Box<div> I just created a box using only Gypsy Font and Gypsy Wanderings.

I thought long and hard about how to do this, so I went serching for inspiration. I came across a thread about a templete that Custom Crops has on their website to make your own dust covers. I have been wanting one so bad, but I thought $25 was to much (this is the amount I have been seeing all over the place). I could do it myself once I felt motivated enough to actually do it.<br /><br />With a template it was what I needed to motivate me. I love the colors, Red, White and Black, which matches most of my craft storage and boxes. I have also been waiting for the perfect time to use my Sentimentals Cart. I just love the key!!! So I thought about how can I use the key and make a saying to put on my dust cover, and it just came to me. The key and lock are both fabric which were cut after adhering it to HeatN Bond. The letters were painted on (they are a font from the Storybook Cart). I used my Gypsy to Kern the letters. the first row is at .02, the second is at .04, and the third is at .08. I used the paper as a stencil and then painted with white fabric paint. The dark red, and white dots are actually rhinestones. I never think a project is done until something shine is on it!<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-6121569980812512722010-04-05T22:57:00.000-07:002010-04-05T23:34:50.467-07:00Making Your Own Dew Drops.Ok, I am always trying to save money on my craft supplies. So I came across people using "Skittles,"I thought what in the world are these, and do I need these to? So of course, once I discovered what they were, "I needed them!" Ok maybe WANT would be a better word. Then I did more research into cost. I could not believe the prices I saw, and every one pretty much said they were made using Tom Holtz Alcohol Inks. I have have those, so what else did I need to make my own???? I went to Micheal's and found a bag of acrylic Dew Drops and this is how I made my own!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456904744297396258" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S7rR8_j9eCI/AAAAAAAAAEo/iI3lu-itNAE/s320/100_0767.jpg" />Supplies: Dew Drops (located in the floral section of most stores; baggie, Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks; something to dry them on (they will stain so I use wax paper). <div><div><div></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456904752154227890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S7rR9c1LNLI/AAAAAAAAAEw/eJcDbDjAgE4/s320/100_0768.jpg" /></div><div>Place the amount you want in baggie (I used 100).

I used the shadow so that I could then layer the front of the card. I had to copy flip and rotate the image to make it a mirror of the first image. So that when I folded it would line up. I added a small rectangle that I then welded to each image so that I could make it a card. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Robotz</span> has card options but not like the one I made...<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450605803268499970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S6RxGXqAagI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/GQefogkZIC4/s320/100_0680.jpg" /> This is the image once it was cut, and since I took the picture after I finished the front, this is actually the inside. I am using these as my sons Birthday invite so this is where all that good information will be!<br /><div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450605787810474786" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S6RxFeEhqyI/AAAAAAAAAEA/aaXmqY1J0AE/s320/100_0678.jpg" />I then cut all the layers that went with the original Robot in the different colors I chose. Usually when you use the Gypsy you can use small pieces of paper and place them on the mat at the same time and then cut all at one. Since, I am doing them in mass I used the Expression Auto Fill feature.<br /><br /><div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450605820197333570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S6RxHWuJ6kI/AAAAAAAAAEg/ypAburH5Cbo/s320/100_0683.jpg" />I couldn't just let the paper just be sad and boring so I used my Pink <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cuttlebug</span> and Cats Eye <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Chaulk</span> to give it a different look.</div><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450605793263901266" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S6RxFyYuWlI/AAAAAAAAAEI/2AUD8SRMnHg/s320/100_0679.jpg" />This is what it turned out to be in the end.

You can alsouse water instead of the rubbing alcohol. It depends on how fast you want it to dry. The more rubbing alcohol the faster it dries. You do not need a lot of which ever powder you choose. I use less then half of my pinkie finger tip.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449061084122041314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S570L4Z_y-I/AAAAAAAAADw/3XwM5QpiVwg/s320/100_0674.jpg" /><br />This picture shows Perfect Pearls Forever Violet the top has more sprays and the bottom has one spray. The picture doesn't not show how sparkly it is. The right picture is the same, however I put Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Slate. Again the top has more sprays then the bottom. You can see the difference in that the paper on the left stayed white, and the right has more color. I could make it darker or light by adding less or more ink.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449061078838262962" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S570LkuPvLI/AAAAAAAAADo/_KwVfYfqlJY/s320/100_0675.jpg" /></div><div><br /><br /><div>This picture is showing Pearl Ex True Blue (left), and Pearl Ex Flamingo Pink on the right. Again, the top has one spray and the bottom has more. </div><div></div><div>Using different powders and inks will give it different effects as well as how much alcohol and water you use. Also the color of paper you use also effects the end out come.<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-7714604689307105032010-03-15T03:18:00.000-07:002010-03-15T03:28:48.670-07:00Circles<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S54LOQxHHfI/AAAAAAAAAC4/FvNpIjkfYJU/s1600-h/100_0668.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 437px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 312px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448804938811907570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S54LOQxHHfI/AAAAAAAAAC4/FvNpIjkfYJU/s320/100_0668.jpg" /></a><br /><div>So there was a challenge given by another message board member in the gypsy forum, and all you had to do was use circles. I used the Gypsy to cut out circles on pink cardstock. The trick to get a different look was to put circle within circles. Now when I took the cardstock of the mat all I had were plain circles. I then used the scraps left from cutting the circles within circles and placed them in a way that I liked. I then used the circle embossing folder and put the scraps through the Cuttlebug. To give it more color I used red Cats Eye chaulk. I just rubbed on them to give the effect I wanted. You can always rub less or more on not at all. I then put a pink bow and my stamped image of Tilda. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers. </div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-8561169044616977652010-02-24T23:47:00.000-08:002010-02-24T23:51:23.352-08:00Card<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4YrFzfAghI/AAAAAAAAAB0/fKv9BKfIE9c/s1600-h/100_0611.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442084578443428370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4YrFzfAghI/AAAAAAAAAB0/fKv9BKfIE9c/s320/100_0611.JPG" /></a> This is supper easy to recreate. I used a Stampin Up heart punch and Sweet Treats cups for the candy. I made a sliding door pull tab to get the candy out, without destroying the card. The design was made with a heart stamp and sentiment stamped with Versa Mark and embossed with clear and red embossing powder.<br /><div></div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-78254449950649901532010-02-24T23:41:00.000-08:002010-02-24T23:47:05.613-08:00Gypsy basket<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4Yp2d-GstI/AAAAAAAAABs/WyrBNqR-6h8/s1600-h/100_0610.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442083215458611922" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4Yp2d-GstI/AAAAAAAAABs/WyrBNqR-6h8/s320/100_0610.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I made this using Love Struck and Accent Essentials. It was fairly simple. I chose the cut and then welded two tabs on each side of the heart, again adjusting to my dimensions. I made a mirror image and pressed cut. The paper was just plain red card stock, so I use a simple stamp with Versa Mark to give it a watermark. Before it completely dried I dusted it with glitter.</div>Fairydusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11819623857418663767noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120781771226370423.post-56639588596516168402010-02-24T23:38:00.000-08:002010-02-24T23:41:49.380-08:00simple card<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4YpEDfuWLI/AAAAAAAAABk/can_ByRXZ-o/s1600-h/100_0605.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442082349358405810" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pj98YFy23rY/S4YpEDfuWLI/AAAAAAAAABk/can_ByRXZ-o/s320/100_0605.JPG" /></a><br /><div>This is a very simple card.

I got the Gypsy file from <a href="http://www.cricutinspiration.blogspot.com/">www.cricutinspiration.blogspot.com/</a> . She is a fellow message boarder, and I just love her creations!
