Hello my crafty friends! I wanted to share with you another Elsa Disney handmade card I did. This one is for my other great granddaughter named Sparrow. Her birthday is next month in May. I wanted it to be special for Sparrow. She’s my little crafty girl. Sparrow love’s to paint, draw, color and create many different things in her art. I’ll list everything I used down below.

Elsa & Olaf wishing Sparrow A Happy Birthday
I used the unity toner card fronts called gifts a plenty and ran it threw my Heidi Swapp minc laminator machine. Using deco foil lapis watercolor, which gave it a beautiful shine with many different colors. I also used staton solvent ink Azure and a snowflake stamp for the background. Then took sticklers again and went over the snowflake to give it a pretty shine.
I then took my Elas die, 110 wt. card stock cut her out. Then cut another one out on toner paper. I used the deco foil called blue waves for her dress. Her body I used zig watercolor pens # 028 pale pink. Olaf I used Ranger sticklers glitter clue and for Elsa hair.
Once I got everything ready and dry then I put my card together.
The Happy Birthday is Simon Says Stamp die.

Hello my crafty friends! I’m really a fan of all Tim Holtz products. I love his distress ink, oxides and sprays. I think his thinlits are amazing. Today I wanted to share with you how I create this background for my card.

“Dive deep for the treasure that you seek”
I started by picking two of Tim Holtz distress oxide colors salty ocean, peacock feathers and blended both colors on two watercolor paper. Plus splattered water on top of my card stock and tap dry with a paper towel. Then took my TH Thinlits called Bubbles #665211, placed it on one of my papers and run it threw my vagabond 2 machine.
Took my cut out and placed it on top of my other watercolor card stock and took a few of the bigger circles and place on it too. Once I like the way my background looked. I started to add Gina K designs glitz glitter gel to my background covering all it. I set it aside to dry. Took my Stamplistic rubber stamp called Mermaiden /Layering dies, stamped it on heavy card stock and die cut it out. I highlighted the mermaid with glue and run it threw my minc machine with Gina K. Foil paper.
I color the mermaid tail with zig pens turquoise green and cornflower blue. Then I used rangers sticklers called glitter glue on the tail. Which gave it a dimension and glitter look. Print my little saying on my p-touch embellish.
And this is my finished handmade card. I love the way it came out. I hope you guys try this technique too. Have a wonderful day.

Hello my crafty friends! The last few days I have been a busy bee. Making beautiful cards with Tim Holtz thinlits, deco foils, Gina K fancy foils and my Minc machine by Heidi Swapp. I wanted to share theses cards with you and I hope you try this technique too. I’ll list products down below and if you have any questions please let me know.

Here I took Tim Holtz Flowery Thinlits # 665203, ran it threw my Vagabond 2 on some black toner card stock I had made at Staples. I lay down deco foil transfer sheet called blue waves on top of my cut out and put it threw my Minc machine. Then peel it off once it was cool down. The results are absolutely beautiful.
Here is the results of my finished card. I also used Simon says stamp die called Hello Crafty friend # 112063 for my sentiment, Elizabeth craft designs dies 702- flower set 2, and with a blue sequin for the middle of the flower. I used heavy white card stock.
Here is the second card I did with the same technique using another Tim Holtz Thinlits called bouquet #664418. And Gina K. Fancy foils called silver sequins and gold sequins. I decide to cut two pieces out and they them down to give them a different look. Ran it threw my minc again and I must say I love the way this card came out. Wow!
The flower I used on my second card is also Elizabeth die called 743- Lotus flower.
I’m so loving my two cards and I can’t wait to create more using all these wonder products. Thank you for checking my blog. If you like my cards please leave me a comment or a like. Have a wonderful day everyone.
