Katzelkraft Robot Pets Card

Greetings! It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week is an Anything Goes week. I've been feeling blah due to dental work, the weather, and increasing decrepitude. So I decided to make a card with lots of rust with the Robot Dog Unmounted Red Rubber Solo Stamp and the Robot Cat Unmounted Red Rubber Solo Stamp by Katzelkraft. I also used a fabulous A5 Grunge Clocks and Grid Stencil/Mask by Studio Light.

PSA:  Topflight Stamps has lots of Katzelkraft stamps in stock, so you should get them while you still can!

Here it is!

Stamping Platform

Instructions:

1. Make an A6 card from blue cardstock. Set aside.
2. Using a stamping platform, position the Katzelkraft's Robot Dog and the Robot Cat stamps facedown centered horizontally and about one inch from the bottom of a white image panel. 
3. Ink the stamps with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp. 
4. Remove the image panel, place a piece of repositionable sticker paper on the platform, ink the stamps, and stamp again.
5. Use Copic markers to color the Robot Dog and the Robot Cat. 
6. Fussy-cut the repositionable sticker paper versions of the Robot Dog and the Robot Cat and place them over their counterparts on the image panel. 
7. Place the image panel onto the STAY-tion and secure with magnets and/or low-tack tape.
8. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally across the bottom of the image panel to cover the Robot Dog and the Robot Cat's paws/wheels and the bottom of the image panel.
9. Sponge or brush Della Blue Elements Ink over the masked images and the low-tack tape to color the top part of the image panel. 
10. Place the A5 Grunge Clocks and Grid Stencil/Mask atop the image panel and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets.
11. Sponge or brush Della Blue Elements Ink over the stencil and the masked images to add a tone on tone pattern to the background.
12. Remove the stencil and reposition the low-tack tape so that it's covering the top part of the image panel. 
13. Sponge or Twilight Dye Ink over the the tape onto the bottom of the image panel.
14. Remove the masks and tape from the image panel. 
15. Use a yellow alcohol marker to add a glow around the Robot Dog and Cat's bulbs.
16.  Use a white gel pen to add highlights to their goggle lenses and their noses. 
17. Use a Turquoise Stardust Glitter pen to add glitter to the tip of the Robot Dog's tail and the Robot Cat's ear tips.
18. Die-cut the image panel with one of the dies from the A6 Layeres Die Set, then edge the image panel die-cut with Della Blue Elements Ink. 
19. Cut a piece of patterned paper from the Rust and Relics Patterned Paper Pad, so that it's ⅛" larger than the image panel and edge with a rust-colored Copic marker. 
20. Adhere the card to the reserved blue A6 card.

Notes:

• It's great fun to add rust and patina to "metal" objects like the  Robot Dog and the Robot Cat. I usually err on the side of "more is more" when it comes to that. I do love me some rust and/or patina.
• I have a bunch of friends' birthdays coming up, but I haven't decided who needs to reminded that they're rusting. I have to search my stash for some suitable snarky sentiments. Otherwise, I'll computer generate one.

Best Fishes

Greetings! It's Tuesday so it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week we're showcasing PaperArtsy's wonderful products. Since it's been very hot, I've been wanting to go to the beach, but creating a slimline card beach scene with PaperArtsy's Kate Crane (KC006) Rubber Cling Stamp Set, the Kate Crane Mini 007 (KCM007) Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp, and the Kate Crane Mini 008 (KCM008) Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp Set is as close as I can get at the moment. The background was created with Mattint and Fresco Finish Acrylic Matte Glaze.

Stamping Platform

Instructions:

1. Create a slimline card from grey cardstock. Set aside.
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the fishhead-man from the Kate Crane (KC006) Rubber Cling Stamp Seonto Copic-friendly paper. 
3. Fussy-cut the image, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black marker. Set aside.
4. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and a stamping platform to stamp the big fish from the Kate Crane Mini 008 (KCM008) Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp and the five fish from the Kate Crane Mini 007 (KCM007) Cling Mounted Rubber Stam onto an 8½" x 3½" panel of Bristol Paper. True confession time, I cut my Kate Crane Mini 007 (KCM007) Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp to separate the fish from one another.
5. Use Copic markers to color all the fish on the panel of Bristol Paper. 
6. Use a paint brush to apply Fresco Finish Acrylic Matte Glaze over the Copic-colored fish to seal them. *
7. Shake the Dragonfly, Greenstone, and River Deep Mattints well, add a dime-sized amount of each color Mattint to the craft mat, then use make-up sponges to apply the Mattints horizontally over the fish until the panel is tinted to your liking. Let dry. Warning: Be sure to have a relatively dust-free, cat-fur free crafting area. *
8. Use the second largest die from the Slimline Layers Die Set to cut the stamped background panel. 
9. Edge the image panel die-cut with Watering Can Archival Ink. 
10. Use the largest die to cut greyish/purple cardstock and use that die-cut to mat the image panel die-cut. 
11. Adhere the matted image panel to the reserved grey slimline card.
12. Adhere the stamped, colored, and fussy-cut fishhead-man as shown.
13. Cut a strip of ink jet vellum and back with two-sided tape. 
14. Use Black StazOn ink to stamp the "best fishes" sentiment onto vellum and let dry.
15. Use a speech bubble die to cut the sentiment.
16. Trim the top of the speech buttle die-cut, then adhere as shown to finish the card.

Notes:

• I tested the Fresco Finish Acrylic Matte Glaze to see if it would smear, smudge, bleed, or otherwise mess up images that were stamped with Memento onto Bristol Paper and colored with Copic markers. The only problem that I encountered was with the dreaded red Copics and images where the Copics hadn't sunk into the paper and had left that gummy surface. Those images smeared and smudged. 
• I plan further experiments with the Fresco Finish Acrylic Matte Glaze on Copic-colored images to see whether I can use translucent Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints to create backgrounds. I probably will try the Matte Glazed Copic-colored images with my other acrylic paints as well. I'll keep you posted. 
• I was able to apply Mattints over the Matte Glazed Copic-colored images which left a slight tint over them, which was what I wanted. 
• The Mattints warped the Bristol Paper slightly, so it might be best to tape the edges down prior to applying them.
• Additionally, since Mattints can be used to adhere things, dust/dirt from my craft area and cat fur migrated onto my project. I was able to remove, some-not all of it. Alas.
• Retrospectively, I wish I had used plain white cardstock for the sentiment/speech bubble and had moved the Fish-head man so that he was "standing' on the bottom of the mat.

Instructions:

Step 1:

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the witch hat from the Hocus Pocus Clear Stamp Set 570 , the potion bottle, and both ghosts from the Boosentials Clear Stamp Set 1203 onto white cardstock. Stamp the ghost pair two more times so you end up with six ghosts.

Step 2: 

Fussy-cut all the images.

Step 3:

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the eyeball from the Be Witchingly Clear Stamp Set 950  twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version.

Step 4:

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the window from the Boosentials Clear Stamp Set 1203 onto white cardstock.

Step 5:

Use the finger-tip craft knife and scissors to fussy-cut the window as shown.

Step 6:

Use Copic markers to color the witch hat, all six ghosts, the eyeball panel, and the window. Use a black marker to edge them all. Sorry that there's no photo.

Step 7:
Use the B29 Copic marker to edge the flowers selected from the Ephemera Die-cuts 21 Pumps and Skulls set. No photo again. Oopsie.

Step 8:

Adhere the repositionable sticker eyeball over its counterpart as a mask. 

Sponge Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink over the masked eyeball onto the small panel and onto a 4.825" x 4.25" piece of white cardstock.

Sponge Medieval Blue then Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Inks over the larger panel, blending as you go to create the background panel for the back cover. Heat set when done.

Step 9:

Use a wavy border die to cut white cardstock. Another missed photo op!

Step 10:

Sponge Shady Lane VersaFine Clair Ink onto the wavy die-cut. Sponge Avocado VersaFine Clair Ink over the die-cut and blend. Heat set.

Step 11:

Adhere the wavy green die-cut to the base of the blue background panel.

Remove the mask from the eyeball panel. Adhere the colored window over the eyeball panel so that the eyeball is in the bottom part of the window. 

Adhere all the elements to the background panel.

Step 12:

Adhere the assembled background panel to the back cover of the album. Yep. No photo.

Step 13:

Cut a piece of black cardstock to 2" x 4.25". Layer the Boo Washi Tape 65 over the black cardstock, wrapping it around the back. Use red-liner tape and glue to adhere this piece to the spine.
