Polka Dot Orchard Challenge of Thanks-Hostess Tag

11/26/2019

5 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving week! As we're all running around grocery shopping, baking, and cooking to get ready for the big day, allow yourself a moment to stop and give thanks for your blessings, and maybe carve out some crafting time to relax and recharge. It won't take long to create a card or a tag for those family or friends hosting your special holiday meals that will be greatly received. And enter your project in our Polka Dot Orchard "Thanks" Instagram Challenge! Details below...

Today I am sharing this darling hostess tag for our "Tag It Tuesday" series and to remind you of the Polka Dot Orchard Instagram Challenge that runs thru November 28, 2019. The theme of this challenge is 13 Days Of Thanks. What are you thankful for? I'm thankful for my family, wonderful friends near and far, good health, and my craft supplies, which some were acquired recently from late sister.

Tutorial below...

I started this tag by layering a few digital images and printed on white X-Press It cardstock. And colored the image with watercolor pencils and a light touch with a water brush. Using a die cutting machine and tag dies to cut it out and cut out a larger tag in a plaid pattern paper and adhered the two together. Traced over the sentiment with black sparkle pen to brighten it up. And added some clear sparkle pen on the leaves and baster too. Punched a whole in the top and added ribbon to complete this turkey tag and tied to a nice bottle of wine ready for our hostess.

To enter the Polka Dot Orchard Instagram Challenge:

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop + Polka Dot Orchard Fall Blessings Card

11/4/2019

14 Comments

Welcome to the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! This is a HUGE Hop that runs through Nov. 8, 2019 and is a week dedicated to Coffee, Tea, Cider, and Cocoa Loving Papercrafters! And Polka Dot Orchard is a proud Super Sponsor with over 80 crafty prizes to be won from many of your favorite craft companies or some new ones too! SO much amazing caffeinated inspiration!!! And you can play along too...details ==> "here" or click the coffee picture below!

For my caffeinated project today I chose this amazing digital stamp set
"A Grateful Heart" by Polka Dot Orchard
It's a wonderful set for many occasions, with different sentiments, but this one is especially great for Thanksgiving! Don't you think?

How I made this Fall Card: I started with two pieces of 8.5x11" orange cardstock, folded in half, and trimmed down to 6.5x5" for the card base. Cut the second piece in half and trimmed down to fit card base exactly, but for embossing. Sorry I'm into odd sized cards lately. The A2's seem too small and 5x7" seem to large. So, I'm somewhere in the middle. For the second orange piece, and using a die cutting machine, place inside an embossing folder, to get this amazing tree impression texture that won't show though to the inside, because of this extra step, but you will eventually adhere it to the front of the card base, but not yet...just set aside for a moment. Next I printed the image on X-Press It white cardstock, layered a sentiment inside, and printed on an HP Laserjet printer. Using the die cutting machine again, cut out image with a stitched die. This time I water colored lightly, with very little water, as to not warp my paper, and dipped my water brush directly into the distress ink colors to achieve this look. And used a blending brush to add color around the edges. Then adhered the image to a brown piece of cardstock for matting and adhered to the orange embossed panel. And adhered the whole panel to the card base as our front piece. I am mad for plaids...so I had to add some to this Fall card. So I cut a strip of this plaid patterned paper 1x5" and cut down one side with a border punch and adhered to card. Added some twine and adhered the whole image panel to the card base. Then added a touch of bling to the pumpkins and berries to make them sparkle, of course, and this Fall beauty is complete and pretty flat for mailing too!

Friends of Unity-Giving Thanks Blog Hop

11/2/2019

Welcome to our November Friends of Unity Blog Hop where several amazing designer friends and myself share our love (and obsessions) of all things Unity Stamps each month with a new theme and lots of Unity GIVEAWAYS too!!! So, scroll down for new tutorials, to enter giveaways & get hopping for some amazing inspiration!!!

***
But before I get started...check back to all of our October Blog Hops to see if you are one of the many Winners and claim your prizes!!!
Dale G.
is our Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for October 2019!
Congratulations!!!

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Giving Thanks!!!
And I want to say "Thank You" to all of you that have followed my crafty adventures across social media for the last 5 years. I am so blessed beyond words to have made so many great friendships in this amazing craft we all have in common. And I am so incredibly thankful for your continued love, friendships, kindness, and support!
It truly means the world to me and
I thank you very much!

So for this months projects I was inspired by the Fall colors, plaids and leaves, of course, as it's my favorite time of year! And giving thanks in the friendships and beauty around us.

For my 1st Card I pulled out yellow golden cardstock, plaids, and browns. I started with an 8.5x11” yellow cardstock, cut in half and folded to create a card base. Then cut a plaid patterned paper ¼” smaller than the card and adhered to the card base. And stamped the floral image on white cardstock using black ink and a MISTI stamping tool. Colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out and set aside. Using a die cutting machine, cut out a stitched circle from brown cardstock and adhered the floral image with foam tape for dimension. Then adhered the whole piece to bottom of the card. Next stamped stamped sentiment on cardstock with clear ink, sprinkled embossing powder, and heat set. Using a die cutting machine again, cut out a stitched banner from brown cardstock around sentiment and cut a larger banner in yellow cardstock, adhered the two banners together and wrapped twine around them and adhered to the card. Making sure to tuck some of it under the flowers. And finished with a touch of gold metal adhesive gems.

For my 2nd Card I made this darling gate fold card. First I cut my cardstock to measure 6” x 11” and scored at 2¾” and 8¼” to create the card base. Then for the front, I cut two plaid patterned paper panels 2½”x 6” and adhered to the front folds of the card. Carefully cut a doily in half and adhered to front panels with liquid glue. And attached green felt leaves to front panels. Next stamped front sentiment on cardstock, sprinkled embossing powder, and heat set. Cut out and rounded corners with a punch, added 3D pop dots, and adhered to just the left side of card front panel to allow card to open. Attached felt leaves and added an enamel embellishment.

For the inside of the card I cut a plaid patterned paper panel 5¼” x 5¾”, rounded corners with a punch, and adhered to the inside center of the card. Stamped the owl image on white cardstock using black ink and a MISTI stamping tool. Colored the image by dipping a water brush directly into the distress ink pads until I reached a desired water colored look. Added some sparkle with glitter pens. Using a die cutting machine, cut out image with circle die cut. Adhered green felt leaves and a leaf brad through the cardstock. Adhered image to a doily and attached to the inside panel. Then stamped inside sentiment on cardstock with clear ink, sprinkled embossing powder, and heat set. Cut out and round corners with a punch, and add 3D pop dots to adhere to panel. And attached more felt leaves and added enamel embellishments to finish this darling card.

And there you have it...this sentiment says it all! I am so thankful for sweet friends like you! And I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps, products, pretty papers, and techniques and maybe try some new things and see where it takes you! The possibilities are endless!
