You’re So Sweet Card by Ilda

December 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hey Everyone, Ilda here!

Today I have a fun and bright card to share with you. I wanted to take a break from all the Christmas cards I’ve been making lately and create something rainbowy 🙂

I began by stamping out the sweet pea images from the You’re So Sweet set onto watercolor paper and colored them in with Tombow dual brush markers. I then die cut each of the flowers with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut the background using the Halftone Dots Cover Die and inserted the stems through the holes in somewhat of a rainbow color order using foam tape to pop up some of the flowers. I then adhered the background to a white card base.

For the sentiment, I die cut the friend word die from the Spring Bouquet Die set from a piece of white cardstock and a piece of black cardstock and glued them together to create a shadow effect. I then stamped out you’re so sweet on the banner from the Best Ever Dies and trimmed off one of the ends.

To embellish the card I used Liquid Pixie Dust to paint on some shimmer onto the flower petals and then glued on a variety of Studio Katia Crystals to some of the openings of the background. See links below for a list of all the crystals I used.

I hope this bright and cheerful card inspired you today. I love how this card turned out and hope you did too!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Watercolor floral birthday card with Kaja

December 10, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Other

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and this time around I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and made a watercolored floral birthday card.

Take a look:

First, I stamped out the images from the You’re so sweet stamp set on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, I colored everything in using markers from the Marvy Uchida Le plume II – Natural marker set. I only used two colors and with the help of watercolor brush I got a nice shading.

Once everything was colored in, I used the coordinating dies to die cut all the images out.

I love the colors used on the flowers so I decided to keep them as the main focus. I added a piece of striped black and white patterned paper to the left hand-side of the card which goes nicely with the black outline of the flowers.

The card isn’t really finished without a sentiment, so I die cut a banner from the Dotted patterns: SET 2 and heat embossed ‘Happy birthday’ from Birthday greetings on top. I used a fine white embossing powder so the sentiments can be read without any problem.

I glued the paper and the colored images down using Studio Katia liquid glue. For some dimension I poped up the sentiment using the double sidded foam rectangles.

The last thing I added were some Onyx Crystals which I glued down randomly around the banner.

Hope that you like this card and thank you so much for joining me!

Christmas Cup of Flowers with Erum

November 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there everyone! Erum here today with more Christmas inspiration!

I have a habit of using non-Christmas stamp sets on holiday cards so today I picked up A Cup of Thanks Stamp Set and turned it into a Christmas Stamp just bu using the traditional holiday colours.

I heat embossed the stamped image in gold and then used distress inks to colour in the image. Once the watercolour was dry, I used the coordinating die to die cut the image. Then I started to work on my card front.

For that, I used a light colour wash to add a similar colour to that of the cup to my background. I also added white paint splatters as well as black paint splatters to it.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp Set and it officially became a holiday card! I added a thin strip of glitter tape onto a panel and adhered it below the colour wash panel to add bling.

In the end, I adhered all the panels on a red card base.

I didnt add any gems or sequins because I just loved how this one turned out!

I hope you liked my card!

A Cup of Poinsettia Wishes Christmas Card by Ilda

November 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello my friends, Ilda here!

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you, done in a non-traditional Christmas color palette. I wanted to use the Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp set but wanted to have fun with coloring them in other than red. I am also participating in Kathy Raccosin’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge and used this as an opportunity to learn from my coloring. I’m sure this would card would have turned out beautifully as well done in a red and green Christmas palette, but this way you can see all how fun the poinsettias look done in a variety of colors.

To make this card I began by stamping out the teacup from the Cup of Thanks set and masking off the top. I then removed the mask and did some partial stamping of the Poinsettia Trimmings stamp, by only inking the areas I wanted to stamp out and wiping off ink of any adjacent flowers before stamping out the image. Next, I used Copic Markers to color in the cup of poinsettias and then used the cup of thanks coordinating die to do a partial die cut of the cup. I then fussy cut the poinsettia area and the space in between the cup handle that I had drawn in to connect the lines that were missing. I then finished off the images by adding some silver detailing on the rim of the cup with a silver gelly roller pen and then added some silver crystals to the saucer. To the center of the poinsettias and berries, I added glossy accents.

The background was made using the Halftone Dots Cover Die and gluing that piece onto Silver Glitter cardstock.

The Silver embossed sentiment strips come from both the Cup of Thanks and the Holiday Village Stamp sets.

To complete the card, I adhered all the elements onto the card base using foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed this Cup of Poinsettia Wishes Christmas Card. Thank you all for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Merry Christmas with Kristina

November 8, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here and it’s time for a Christmas card! I used gorgeous Poinsettia Trimmings for my card.

First, I stamped the images from stamp set onto watercolor paper with clear embossing ink and gold heat embossed. Next, I loosely watercolored the images with watercolors. Once it was dry, I took my Prismacolor pencils and add the depth on some of the leaves and flowers.

Then, I die cut Merry out of gold cardstock and adhered onto my watercolored piece. I stamped Christmas onto tiny stripe of black cardstock with clear inks and gold heat embossed and adhered onto my panel with foam tape. I foam mounted my panel onto kraft card base and finished my card with sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card with Erum

November 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello there everyone!

Erum here today with a simple Christmas card for you!

My card features the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set. I watercoloured this with distress inks. The only two colours I used were Aged Mahogany and Black Soot. All the stamping was second generation so that I don’t get a very hard, prominent outline. Next, I used the same inks to colour the images.

I used the frame from Dotted Shaker Tag 2 as a base to add my sentiment on. The word “joy” is part of the Merry Poinsettia Die Set.

Before placing my images, I added a few black paint splatters. To finish off, I adhered some Majestic Confetti.

I hope you liked my card. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by!

Poinsettia Christmas card with Kaja

November 1, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have a watercolored Christmas card prepared for you!

Take a look:

Watercoloring makes me calm, so I stamped out the whole background using the Poinsettia trimmings stamp set and started coloring. It took me more than half an hour to color everything in but it was worth it! For the coloring I used ZIG watercolored markers and a water brush.

Once everything was colored, I took the rectangle from the Dotted patterns set 3 and I die cut my background with it. The die gives a beautiful dotted edge along with rounded corners which makes the background even more gorgeous.

Next, I took some vellum and die cut an oval out of it using the second biggest die from the Dotted ovals stamp set. I used vellum because I didn’t want to cover too much of the background I spent so much time coloring. 🙂

Of course I also needed a sentiment and I decided to go with a ‘Merry Christmas’. I stamped out the word ‘Christmas’ from the Poinsettia trimmings set in black ink and for the ‘Merry’ I used the die that is included in the Merry poinsetta coordinating dies.

I used the Studio Katia glue to glue everything together, the only thing I popped up with some foam tape was the word ‘Christmas’. I was really carefull with glueing down the vellum since I didn’t want the glue to show through it.

The last thing I added was some clear drops around the sentiment and that finished off the card!

That’s it for today, hope to see you again soon!
