Hey everyone! It is Wednesday, and only a couple of days away from a long weekend! I am going to Craft Camp on Friday and crafting all weekend long! I am also going to be part of a IG Hop for Bearly Art glue, so I hope that you will stop by on Friday to see what I I am up to! For today's card, I decided to play with the Magnolia Background stamp from Simon Says Stamp. I really love this stamp!
First, I got out my circle dies from Elizabeth Crafts and cut out a circle that would fit a A2 card panel. I then took a white card panel that would fit a A2 card and stamped the Magnolia image using Hero Arts Intense Black ink. I then took my circle and stamped the image to where I could line it up on the card panel. I then colored the circle image with Copic colors Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00, YR24, E37, B01, B00, B000, G07, YG09, and YG01. I then lined up the circle to match the card panel image and popped it up with foam tape. I then stamped and cut the sentiment using Taylored Expressions Simple Strips and popped it with foam tape. I then popped the card panel onto a 110lb white card base using foam tape. I then added some yellow and black heart embellishments from Trinity Stamps. I really like how this came out. It's a more subtle card and looks soft. As I mentioned before, I am part of the Bearly Art glue IG hop on Friday, which starts at 10:00AM Pacific Time, so I hope you come see what it is all about! See you all then!! Happy Crafting Y'all!! Well hello everyone! It has been a few days since I have posted and I wanted to check in with y'all to see how your weekend is going! It is Sunday early everying here in Northern Cali and I am getting ready to BBQ some burgers and corn on the cob! Yum!! But first, I wanted to share a card I made with Colorado Craft Company's stamp set Miss You Peony. This stamp set is AWESOME! I love this flower! So bold and beautiful!! I did not want to go traditional with the colors, so I went with blue this time and WOWZERS!
First, I stamped the peony flower image with back Memento ink since I was going to color it with my Copic markers. I then cut it down to size to fit a A2 sized card base. I then colored the image using Copic colors B39, B45, B32, YG67, YG25 and YG01. I then lined up the sentiment from the same stamp set and used WOW embossing ink to stamp the sentiment and then heat embossed the sentiment using Simon Says Stamp ultra fine white embossing power. I then popped the sentiment onto the card panel using foam tape and then added some blue bling I had in my stash. I then popped the card panel onto a white 110lb card base using foam tape. This bold flower doesn't need anything else for it speaks for itself!! Love it!! I hope y'all are having a great weekend and I will see you later this week!! Happy Crafting Y'all!! Hey everyone! It is Wednesday!! I have been trying to find time to make a card for the Unity Stamp Co.'s monthly challenge on the Unity {show & tell} Facebook page and finally decided on what to make. The theme this month is Monochromatic and I wanted to go with red because I don't work with red enough. Since I was not going to color with markers on this project, I decided to go with the Fear Not stamp set from Unity which was a great stamp to work with on this project.
First, I got out my inks I wanted to blend with, which are Cranberry Fizz, Rockin' Red and Samba from Catherine Pooler. Then I got out a piece of 110lb white cardstock and cut it down to the size I wanted for my card panel and cut another piece to the size I wanted to run down the middle of my card panel using Tim Holtz's Deckle Cutter. I then ink blended both pieces. I then stamped the rose image from the Fear Not stamp set in multiple directions using the Cranberry Fizz ink. I then cut out some leaves using the Tender Leaf die from Simon Says Stamp and colored them with the Cranberry Fizz ink. I then glued the leaves onto the card panel using Bearly Art glue and then popped the middle card panel onto the main card panel using foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment using a sentiment from the May 2020 Sentiment Kit "hello sweetheart bouquet" and popped that up with some foam tape. I then added some clear enamel dots from Gina Marie. It is a simple card to make, and ink blending is a beautiful technique! I hope you all have a great day and I will see you later this week!! Happy Crafting Y'all! Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Wow! Embossing Challenge for the month of May. I LOVE Wow! embossing powders! I have so many of their colors and I love them! For today's card, I chose to work with the Spring Blooms Background stamp from Honey Bee Stamps. This stamp is GORGEOUS!
First, using Wow! Embossing ink, I inked up the stamp and stamped the image using my Misti onto a piece of 110lb white cardstock. I then sprinkled Wow! Splash embossing powder and heat set it. It sparkles and looks awesome! I then set that aside and stamped a piece of 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock using black Memento ink the same stamp image because I was going to color with my Copic markers. After I stamped it in black, I colored the image using Copic colors BG78, BG23, BG18, BG15, BG10, E59, E57, and E13. After I was done coloring, I cut the Copic colored image down to size so that it would fit in the middle of the embossed image, and then I aligned the Copic panel with the embossed image to match the scene. The look I wanted was that the image would flow from the Copic panel to the embossed image perfectly. Once the scene matched, I glued the Copic panel onto the embossed panel using Bearly Art glue. I then popped the card panel onto a 110lb black card base using foam tape. I then added the sentiment from Talyored Expressions Simple Strips by popping it with some foam tape and then added some enamel dots I had in my stash. I absolutely love how this turned out! I hope you enjoy it and have a great week! Happy Crafting Y'all!! Happy Sunday everyone! Today is one of my best friends birthday, so I wanted to share a card that I made for her. Her favorite color is purple and I decided to do a little watercoloring with my Karin and Altenew Watercolor Markers. Watercoloring is not my strongest suit, but I love challenging myself, so I jumped right in!
