Artist Trading Cards | Sanna Lippert

Artist Trading Card Hello and happy December, everyone! It´s Sanna here today to share another project with you. Christmas being practically around the corner, I am getting distracted with artist trading cards, when I actually should be finishing up a couple more Christmas cards for family and friends. But sometimes distractions like this are really good, so I think it´s OK to spend one evening playing with something else than making Christmas card projects :).

Here are the ATC´s I created for today´s post:
 
 The first set is winter themed. I´ve first misted the background with a blue spray ink and then added the branches onto the bottom part of each ATC. They are stamped with waterproof black ink.
 Next I used the snowflake stamps with embossing ink to stamp images onto the "sky". After that I embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder.

 For decoration I added "faux stitching" around the edges and stamped a wintery sentiment which I fussy cut and inked with light blue Distress Ink.
 Finally I added some liquid pearls details onto the branches. That way they look like winter berries. For details on used product scroll down to the very bottom of this post - all used products are listed there.
 For my next artist trading card set I took an early start towards Valentine´s Day. I wanted to create love/friendship themed ATC´s so I chose the Whoo loves you stamp set as my starting point for these four artist trading cards. I might still add a little red stamped heart to each one of them later, just haven´t decided on that quite yet.
 For these ATC´s I first cut white cardstock into the right size (2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch). Then I stamped the leaves onto the background with embossing ink and added white embossing powder. After heat setting the powder I took a peach toned spray ink and misted the backgrounds with that tone.
 Next I took a water tank brush and some darker brown spray ink to color the leaves. After the background was done I stamped the sentiment speech bubbles and the animals onto a piece of white cardstock and used brown, grey, yellow and red spray inks with a water tank brush to color the images. After that I again added some "faux stitching" with a black pen around the edges.
 After the images were dry I fussy cut them with precision scissors and added some yellow burlap and white lace onto the artist trading cards.
 Then all I needed to do was to adhere the fussy cut images onto the backgrounds with paper glue.
 To make sure the lace and burlap stay put on their place, I attached them additionally to the background with a stampler. This will keep them from coming off.
I had a great time creating these artist trading cards! And now that I´ve had some fun creative time, I can go and finish off the last Christmas cards for this season.

Wishing you all a lovely, creative weekend and happy crafting!!!

Note to self | Sanna Lippert

clear stamps Hello there, Sanna here again and it´s my turn to share a layout with you today.  Are there any coffee lovers out there amongst you? Well, I need to confess that I tend to drink quite a lot of coffee and I just love the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The coffee themed stamp set in the shop is super cute, so I used that stamp set as my starting point for this page:

I´ve used various Studio Forty clear stamp sets on this layout for various reasons. I like owls - and I am a night owl - so I figured it would be a perfect match for this page to use some owls with the coffee theme. I stay up late and then I am sleep deprived and then I need coffee to wake up and to keep me going... see where I am going with this? So, basically that is what this page is about. Coffee keeps me going ;-)


I´ve used spray inks to color the fussy cut,  stamped images. I first stamped them onto white cardstock with a waterproof black ink, then I colored the images with matching spray ink tones.
I added a layer of spray ink onto the background using a piece of plastic as my transfer medium for the ink. This technique creates a nice random pattern, but much bigger color areas than if I would just add the colour as direct splatters from the bottle onto the page. And this way I have more control of where the colour is supposed to go.
I first stamped the owls and all other images with black ink onto a thicker paper that absorbs spray inks well, then I used a fine paint brush to color the images with the spray inks. The owls add a fun detail to the page.
Also fussy cutting the stamped images adds more interest and texture to the layout than just directly stamping onto the background paper. Besides, this way you have more control of your images and should one of them turn out poor, you can simply toss that one and stamp a new one and your page will not be ruined by a poorly stamped image.
I´ve again added a date stamp onto the page just to document when this layout was created and what kind of ideas and thoughts had been going thru my mind on that day. So this layout is abit like everyday diary keeping.

That´s it from me today. I hope you get inspired by these ideas. When was the last time you documented something about your everyday life, habits or thoughts?

Happy scrapping,
xxx, Sanna
