Die Cuttin’ & Airbrushin’

Boy oh boy, between my die cutting machine, new Copic markers and rediscovering my airbrush I am a happy crafty camper!

Stamps: House Mouse, MSE!, PP: DCWV, CArdstock: Bazzil, Punch: Martha Stewart

I cut and embossed the mat for this card using Penny Duncan’s nesting file. Then I stamped this cute house mouse stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black (my new favorite ink!) and colored it with my Copics. then I stamped the mouse again on a post it note and placed it over the colored image. Then I used my Paasche airbrush to spray alcohol ink (Piniata red + denatured alcohol) around the edges of the mat. By covering the image with a post it I can be sure no stray ink is sprayed on my image. The photo corners are a freebie from Thursday’s post. I cut them and the mat with my Cricut and scal software. If you don’t have SCAL yet there is a coupon for 10% off til the 28th (Sunday) so grab it quick: 4190114

Speaking of Die cutting  Micki wanted me to share a photo of my “die cutting center” so here it is, enjoy:

Everything is in arms reach, there is plenty of room in front and behind the cricut without taking up much counter space. I store my mats on the box under the machine.

Here is the inside of the box, I installed a power strip inside for my overhead light, cricut and laptop. When I am done cutting for the day I turn one switch off, easy!

A place for everything!

Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

  1. Oh yes, I love the airbrushed edges. Love the card.
    I’m waiting to get my attachment for the airbrush (will be using hubbies) :-). Ok, I like your set up….. that looks like something I need, that type of box. I have a lot of ‘old school’ dies too and who knows what I find while cleaning tomorrow :-). Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

    1. Hi Ellie,
      It is hard to say as I work on a few cards at a time but probably about 30 minutes but If I was going to re-make it it would take about 15 minutes becaues I know what I want to do an have my mask cut. I have all my supplies out and handy so it saves time. Sometime I will stamp up a bunch of stuff and color while watching TV then make cards later, I don’t always go start to finish:) the airbrushing takes only seconds though and the coloring was quick becaise the was only a few colors used and not details:)
      thanks for asking!
