Image for shrink plastic pieces, please see instructions:
Hello friends!
It is time for a beautiful Queen Kat image, meet Emily and her flute, I want to call it her “magic” flute because she can certainly soothe the most troubled waters with her beautiful music.
For today’s projects, you will need to gather up the following:
Emily stamp set,
Shrink Plastic,
Copic Markers
and your imagination!
To begin: Stamp image onto white card stock and color as desired with copic markers.
Layer her onto an orange base that has been sponged with black ink, print out sheet music (from 8notes.com) onto teal card stock and trim to size 5 1/4″ X 4″. Sponge the edges of this pieces, attach flower and tape as shown.
I stamped “The magic of Love” on the inside of the card. This would also make a beautiful engagement notice card.
For the pin, I stamped the image and colored it (you can also do this with the image you already colored) and place it on top of a piece of musical score you’ve printed out. Place this piece underneath the stamp image and scan into your computer. Using my editing program, I chose to print out the image four times onto Shrink plastic. I printed the image onto the rough side of the plastic.
After the image was printed, I allowed it to dry on my desk for about 1/2 an hour. I then trimmed out each individual image using my heavy duty scissors. If desired you can put a hole in the top center to use as a charm, earrings or embellishment on a card or scrapbook layout.
Following the manufactures instructions, I used a heat gun and shrunk the image. I did use a silicone craft mat under the image, then once it was shrank, I used my Glossy accents (inkessentials) to cover the image. While it was still cloudy and wet, I used dew drops and small glass beads to enhance the already beautiful piece. Along the outside edges I used studio G glitter glue. The piece was set aside to dry for about 2 hours. (If you’ve had a long day like me, this is a good time to give yourself permission to take a nap!).
After your nap, the image will be completely dry, and you will feel better! Now onto the next step. Using a pin back from your local craft store, attach this to the back of the piece using a dab of hot glue, please be careful not to burn your fingers. With all craft projects you should follow manufacturer’s instructions and use reasonable caution so you will not injure yourself or burn down your house.
Here is the Queen Kat stamp store. Go ahead do some shopping, you deserve some fun stamps! The many artist lines, stamp sets and just plain fun stuff is to be seen and purchased here. I hope you will enjoy these projects and give them a try.
I used designer paper from KC & Company’s designer Tim Coffey paper stack. This card is 6″X6″ top folded. The two panels measure 2 1/2″ X 5 1/2″. It is finished off with small pink and red hearts as well as larger white and red checkered wooden hearts. The sentiment is from a muse stamps and it is finished with stickles baby blue glitter glue and lace from my collection. She will be available starting on February 26, 2011.
The copic markers I used (in no particular order) are E34,C0, B01, B000, E33, C3, C1, E31, YR15, E50, E0000, G02, C4, Y02, R08, R14,E15, R30, R00, G000, E57, E51. The image was printed onto Papertrey white card stock using the ‘print in grayscale’ option. Once the image was printed (size is about 3.5 X 5″) I used my heat gun to dry the ink. I also used my glue gun to dry the stickles before adding the other embellishments.
To “ground” the image I used B000 and C1 under the cat and feet of Maisy. I hope you will enjoy this card and make one for yourself. Please check out the images and great things Holly has for you on the Squigglefly site.
On a more personal note, I have not posted much this week, and I have missed the opportunity. My husband and I went to Augusta, Georgia to attend the funeral of a dear family friend and great man. “Roy” was 83 when he was called home to heaven and was also the winner of a Bronze star during his military career. I was proud to be a member of this family and rejoice that his illness was now over and he was at peace with his maker.
Today, my husband Michael had a heart catheratization. I am happy to report other than being tired from the drugs given during the procedure, he is doing excellent and there was no blockage in any of his arteries. I appreciate the calls, emails and best wishes during this time in our lives. We are truly blessed and are thankful for the many good things we have been given.
Since my niece, Melissa loves the color purple, I used shades of purple, blue, and lavender for the mini album. I hope she fills it with fun pictures . Other materials in the book include shrink plastic butterflies and dragonflies. Lace, trim and ribbon also grace the book.
If you would like to buy the die cuts to create this mini alum for yourself, please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com and let me know what colors you would like. A complete kit is $20.00 with $6.00 shipping with delivery confirmation.
Don’t you just love it when your day is clicking along at a nice pace, and you have things planned out and some one or something throws a wrench into the workds?

I am sorry I am late posting this. I had planned to do this last night, however we where without power from about 3:15pm until about 2:30 am this morning. I’m happyu to report I’ve found my way back to my craft desk and finished cleaning it up. I had received (you’ve seen the video’s) several packages from folks and the goodies needed to find a new home.

Have a great afternoon, stamp happy, be a blessing!
