Creative Cardmaker: Liquid Gold Gilding...

Happy Tuesday! Today over at Scrapbook Expo's Weekly Scrapper blog, I have a step-by-step tutorial for you on using Liquid Gold Gilding paint on cards with a quick and easy design. These cards literally took me only a few minutes and don't use many supplies at all...one sentiment stamp, paint, paintbrush, an old pencil and a black ink pad. Stop over to read more!

We have a snow day today, so I'm getting started on my Papertrey Ink goodies for this month that will be released on February 15th! Check out these pics of Kati with our neighbors! :) The girls are thrilled to get a day off today! We've gotten over a foot of snow, and it's still coming down. Enjoy your day!

Introducing Uncorked...

Today we are introducing the new Uncorked stamps, dies and the Uncorked Word Dies by Papertrey Ink, perfect for those upcoming parties you may be attending! First, I made a quick wine bottle tag.

The tag is cut with the Wine Bottle Tag die. Then I used the Uncorked stamps and the Keep It Simple: New Year stamps. "Cheers" is cut out with the Uncorked Word Dies. 

The little dimensional star was made by cutting the new Small Sketched Stars from gold cardstock and layering them, offsetting the points in each star.

The gold twine was from Michaels, and it's wired, so you can actually tie it around the wine bottle and wrap the ends around a pencil to create the fun twirls in the twine. It will stay however you put it. Fun and festive!

Next is a card made with Uncorked and the Uncorked Word Dies again. I used the Wine Bottle Tag die again, but used it upside down and trimmed off the banner part. The polkadots are stamped with Polka Dot Basics III in the background.

Quick and easy.

Also, if you want to dress up the inside of the card for a December birthday, you could do something like this with the new Birthday Classics: December stamps. Today's post would go really well with THIS little card set that I made previously! :)
