Roll me in Glitter!

After a very rough week and illness we shared liked M&M's in my house, nothing makes me happier than making a card. And my subject? Our trusty sassy unicorn!

This stamp is available at The Rabbit Hole Designs and at Simon Says Stamp.

Here is what I did:

1. I have had this fabulous glitter cardstock for years and decided today was the day to use it. I die cut a circle off center from the left corner.

2. Add silver vellum in the open circle spot.

3. Stamp, cut and color the unicorn.

4. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the unicorn and the word unicorn.

5. This is a top folding card, 4.25 x 5.5.

Sassy Skates Magnetic Slider

Hello my crafty friend, it's Amanda from Pear Blossom Press again. Today, I've got a fun new-to-me technique. It's not a new idea mind you, I just haven't ever tried it before. I have to say, I am having a blast playing with it too. So what's the technique? A magnet slider! I'm telling you, this is so much fun, you're not going to want to give it away. Luckily, I made this card in September, so I have plenty of time to play with it before I give it to my five year old niece for Christmas. It features a Sassy unicorn on ice skates and she can glide around the frozen pond by moving the tab.

For this card, I wanted to create a simple scene and keep the focus on the Sassy unicorn. I stamped and embossed her onto watercolor paper and painted her in pink and purple. Then, I fussy cut her with my ScanNCut. To give her ice skates, I folded my wire pieces in half with round pliers (you can achieve the same round curve if you fold the wire around the end of a small paintbrush), then curved one end up. This gave me the weird "L" shape you see in the photo above. I started with about 2" lengths of wire because longer pieces are easier to work with. Then I trimmed the pieces down at the end so all four were the same size. I glued the skates onto her feet and added a small magnet near her neck. I covered the magnet with a scrap of white cardstock to keep the magnet from transferring any grey residue to the pond as it glides around.

For the background, I added a little blue paint to a watercolor paper panel to create the ice area, then used a die to cut swirls into the blue ice. I die cut the scenic elements and sentiment from white cardstock. Then, I assembled the scene using stitched hillside pieces and pine trees around the pond area. I made sure to layer the larger trees on top with a double layer of foam tape and make them hang off the bottom and side edges, to look like they are in the foreground; smaller trees went in the background. The sentiment is only one layer, not stacked like I often do, and glued flat to the background. Once the scene was created and the unicorn was ready, it was time to make the slider bar to go underneath.

I die cut three stitched strips and glued them together with another magnet between the top two layers. This created a sturdy bar that can slide around without accidentally buckling or folding up. I added a ¼" x 1½" strip to the back side of the end with the magnet, to form a "T" shape. The small strip will act as a stop, to keep the bar from pulling all the way out. I added a layer of foam tape around the perimeter of a card base, leaving an opening for the bar, and dusted the edges of the tape with my powder tool to ensure they wouldn't stick to the slider bar as it moves around. Then I sandwiched the bar in between the card base and the background piece. To finish the card, I applied Diamond Glaze to the words and Aqua Shimmer accents to the trees, edges of the snowbanks, and unicorn horn. When everything was dry, I attached the unicorn to the card and tested it out. Look! It's so much fun to play with!

Now, before you give a card like this to a child, please consider that the ends of the wire skates can be sharp, and if the child somehow accidentally ingests both magnets, that could be harmful. Just in case, younger children should be supervised when playing with it.

So what do you think? It's fun right?! I think the star covered Sassy unicorn is the perfect fit for this card. I chose soft pinks and purples for my color scheme specifically for my niece, but it would be adorable in other color schemes too. What colors would you use?

Miss Sassy Pants August 2019 Release

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 20190717_0918567505515136284030525.jpg

Hi Sassy friends!

My name is Charmaine from CharCards and I this will be my first time designing for The Rabbit Hole Designs blog. I am very honored to have been chosen for the team as these stamps speak to my sassy, sarcastic inner wild child. This was a definitely a match made in heaven!

Let me show you how I made Miss Sassy Pants sparkle using heat and foil!

This magical stamp set can be used to make funny, sweet and silly cards. I chose to make a friendship card with the flying unicorn.

Click on image for store

The front of the card is made by using one of the newly released stencils, Diamond Flower stencil, Deco Foil Transfer gel and foil similar to Deco Foil Silver Star foil available at The Rabbit Hole Designs store.

Before we start getting shiny, switch on the laminator. Give it a good 20 minutes before using.

Place the 6x6 stencil over a sheet of Neenah cardstock 110lb paper, or any other heavy duty cardstock. I use washi tape to keep everything in place but Pixie Spray is pretty handy here. Smear the transfer gel evenly across the stencil and paper using a craft knife or old credit card. Immediately wash the stencil in warm soapy water to avoid hardening of the gel. Set this aside and allow the gel to dry for about an hour.

Stamp and fussy cut the unicorn. I use a Brother Scan n Cut to save some time. To avoid from distracting from the beautiful foil, I kept the coloring of the unicorn to a minimum. I used two shades of pink for the hair and Copic markers C1 and C3 for the "white" of Sassy's body. Adhere a few pieces of dimensional tape to the back to give her some pizzaz!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is pixlr4378736624258735886.jpg

This is a 4.25 x 5.5 top folding card. Adhere patterned paper on the inside of the card, same size as the card. For the sentiment, I used a dialogue box die and the sweet friend sentiment.

Place Silver Star foil or similar foil over the dried gel on cardstock. Sandwich both pieces between parchment paper and feed it through the laminator. Set the dial to 5mm. Cut the beautiful, shiny result the same size as the card, 4.25 x 5.5.

Place a circle die big enough on the bottom corner of the result and position the unicorn in such a way that the unicorn doesn't get hung up as the card is opened. Use the shiny result card stock sans the circle and draw a pencil mark on the front of the white card to make an additional circle die cut. Two cuts are necessary because the gel result with two layers of cardstock might not make a smooth, clean cut. Adhere the shiny piece to the front, adhere Miss Sassy and there you are!

Pretty, shiny unicorn card!

Celebrate Your Birthday!

Good morning and welcome back to the blog Rabbit Hole fans!

It's Lisa up with you today and I have another card featuring the

newly released Sassy stamp set! I just love that sweet Unicorn!

I started off with a black card base and I covered it in some pretty rainbow

patterned paper with gold flecks in it.

Next I cut out a white frame using a Scalloped Rectangle Die

to bring focus to the main images.

I used my Copic markers to color Sassy and that sweet cloud and then I cut

them out with my Scan n Cut.

To finish off my card I added the die cut word Celebrate in black

and I heat embossed the birthday sentiment from Doggone in

white on to black card stock.

Thanks so much for joining me today on the blog!

Coffee & Donuts

Hello crafty friends, it's Amanda from Pear Blossom Press again and today I've got a fun shaped card for you featuring the Caffeinated Unicorn! I don't know about you, but the caffeinated critter series is one of my favorite collections to play with. The unicorn is just too hilarious; she even has little narwhal slippers! I thought she'd pair well with a donut shaped card covered in lots of sprinkles.

I started by stamping and embossing my Caffeinated Unicorn, then coloring it with Copic markers. Then I fussy cut her with my ScanNCut. Using some of the same markers, I colored scraps of white cardstock in coordinating colors. I stamped and embossed caffeine makes me sparkle, then die cut it with a fishtail banner die. I also die cut the word yippee three times, once from the scrap I colored blue. I glued the three layers together, with the blue layer on top. I glued a thin strip of silver glitter paper to the bottom of the fishtail banner.

To make the card, I grabbed my nesting circle dies and found a set that looked like a good size donut and appropriate hole. I used a 4 1/2" circle for the outer cut, and a 1 1/4" circle for the inner cut. I cut a pair of blush colored circles for the card base. I trimmed about 1/8" from the bottom edge of the back circle. Then I lined it up in my Scor Pal and scored 1/2" from the top to form a hinge. I glued the two pieces together at the hinge. The tiny cut across the bottom of the back piece allows the card to stand up when it's open. I sponged on a little brown ink to add shading to the inner and outer edges of the donut. That makes it look like it's been cooked to a golden brown.

For the frosting, I cut a third circle from pink stock and increased the inner die to a 1 1/2" circle, so that some of the center of the blush circles would be visible when stacked. I used scissors to freehand a wavy cut around the outer edge of the pink circle. Then I stamped and embossed it with sprinkles. To add a little more dimension, I sponged on a little pink ink around the inner and outer edges and glued it onto the donut.

To finish the card, I lined everything up and trimmed the fishtail banner to end behind the unicorn's legs. I glued the banner in place and glued the word yippee above it. I popped the Caffeinated Unicorn up with foam tape to give the card a little more dimension. For a final touch, I added shimmer pen to the unicorn's mug and horn. Then, I coated the horn, mug, her eye, and the word yippee with a layer of Diamond Glaze. I think it gives the card just the right amount of sparkle and shine!

Now don't tell anyone, but I've got a little secret to share. Even though I love to make cards, I always draw a blank when it comes to writing the sentiment inside. A card like this doesn't have a lot of room to write a long message and that suits me just fine. If you'd like a bigger area to write inside, you can omit cutting the center holes from the card base. In that case, I'd cut the base from white cardstock and layer on a blush layer and a pink layer onto the top of the card. You might consider adding a white doily to the back of the card, so it looks like a donut on a doily.

So that's my card for today, another fun shaped card. Do you prefer shaped cards or traditional rectangles? Let me know in the comments below. Is your caffeinated critter collection complete? If not, head on over to the shop and fill up your cart today! And don't forget the new release comes out next week! I can't wait to show you what I've been working on with those sets! (Hint, hint, even if you think your caffeinated critter collection is complete, it's probably not ;) See you soon my crafty friend!
