Tambourine Girl Memory Dex Card

As a dancer and an oddball, I just love this sentiment so much!  For this project I used the cute Kindred Stamps Drive In Memory Dex Dies.  The background is inked with Distress Oxide Villainous Potion.  The tiny banner is covered with chunky glitter.  As a hack, I use coffee filters to minimize the mess with glitter and embossing powder.  It works so well!

Festival of Fools Banner

I turned my craft room upside down with this bold banner.  The flags are made with a 1, 2, 3 punch board and are 3.75" by 4".  The circles are cut from the Kindred Card Basics Die Kit.  I put a string of glue around the edge of each circle then covered them with gold chunky glitter.  The sentiment is made with the Kindred Stitched Alpha Dies.

December Release 2023: Kindred Town, More Adult

Hi everyone.  These cards were a hoot to make.  I hope you get a kick out of them!  

Card 1. 

Good Spirits

I used Distress Oxide ink in Hickory Smoke and Black Soot to create this classic vintage noir look for my little Liquor Store. The Kindred Tree Scene craft die is giving old country road.

Card 2. 

Magical 

This card cracks me up.  The pattern paper is from the Time for Tea Kindred Stamps Paper Pack.  The sweet little pot shop is colored with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.  The magical word die is in stock and on sale at the Kindred website!  

Card 3. 

Good Times

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a night on the town?  I used Distress Oxide ink in Barn Door on the Kindred Distress Brick stencil for this adorable slimline background.  The awesome little shops are colored with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend makers.  This card reminds me of good times with my besties.

Sets used: Adventures in Time and Space, Grundge paper pack & Ocean Scene Craft Die

For this project I made an ink background with distress inks.  I traced a cube from the Grundge paper pack.  The hanging vines are made from the ocean scene craft die.

Sets used: Adventures in Time and Space, Stitched Alpha Dies

For this card I made a galaxy background with distress oxide inks.  

See photo steps below.  

 

Leaving some white space creates a deeper variance of color

Distress Oxide Black Soot works best for this effect, you don't have to cover the whole card with it, just a light dusting in some spots works great.

Acrylic paints are great for black and white splatters

Viola! Galaxy background achievement unlocked.
