Boo-tiful card

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Let’s make more boo-tiful cards! The season is open 🙂

For this card I used new stencil and few old but cool pumkin dies.

I start with cutting a panel from orange color cardstock, next I applied black ink on edges and cover the panel with stencil and glitter texture paste from Nuvo.

On the orange cardstock I stamped few pumpkins using brown ink ant cut them out. On the green cardstock I heat emboss a sentiment with white powder and stamp from Monster Bash  set. To create a main focal point I cut an oval frame from black cardstock and adhere all elements in a center.

To finish my card I glued my panel on a black card base.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Card with foxes

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with a cute card I made for my mom.

For this card I used a square die to create a card background. I applied distress inks on it through self made masks.

Next I stamp foxes using orange ink and add shadows ( just a little bit) with colored pencils. As for flowers, I stamped them on a watercolor paper and colored with distress markers.

I cut all images with coordinating dies and foam mounted them on a card panel. I cut a card base bigger then my panel from white cardstock and glued panel on it.

Have a great day!

Under the Sea Card by Rowena

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hi there Rowena here today with a Hello card using Under the Sea stamp and die set! This is such a fun a set to have and perfect for any occasions. For my card today,  I wanted to create a scene where the main star is the cute little sting ray, swimming under the deep blue sea.

To start, I stamped all my images using chocolate hybrid ink onto a  watercolor paper because I will be coloring my images using watercolor paints. This ink is watercolor safe as well as copic friendly ink. I usually or most of the time color with my copic markers but today I will be using my Daniel Smith Watercolor to color my images. I just added a mixture of greys, yellows and greens to color all my elements, I kept the coloring simple without mixing too much colors. Then I die cut the images using its coordinating die.

Moving onto the background! I blended some distress ink oxide, I used blueprint sketch and peacock feathers to create my watery background. Then using  the Brushed Stroke Waves stencil, I created the wavy effect for added interest to my panel. I also used the same inks I used for my blended background. I splattered some white paint to create bubbles.

As I mentioned I wanted the sting ray to be the main star of my card. So, I die cut a white cardstock to create a frame for my panel using the decorative frame from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames creative dies.

LogoLicious_20180609_162314

Once all my elements are complete it’s time to put the card together! I added foam tape to my frame panel and adhered it to my blended background. Then I also added some foam tape to the seaweeds and coral. Then glued my sting ray and as well as the little fishes. I did not add foam tape to the sting ray because I wanted it to appear in the back.

Then I white heat embossed the hello friend sentiment from the And The Fox Says stamp set, onto a black cardstock. I also added white gel pen on the coral as well as some glossy accents to the seaweeds and coral. It’s very hard to see on the photo but it’s there 😉

Again, thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed today’s post! Happy crafting!!

Crafty Hugs,

Rowena

Glittery Starry Sky with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Hello Cards, New Release, Theme Week

Hello Studio Katia friends! Today I am sharing a card I made using Studio Katia Sparkling Stars Confetti Glitter. Don’t you love those tiny iridescent stars glitter? I am in complete awe with it! It can embellish anything with these stars!

I was inspired to make a starry sky background for the images from Whimsical Town Stamp Set. And I absolutely love the result I got. You can see every single star in the background which makes this town scene just magical.

I started working on my card by stamping three houses, a tree, a bush, a trash can, a mailbox and three clouds onto white paper. I colored all these images with alcohol markers and die cut them with Coordinating Dies.

To create glitery background for my card I wanted to do something special, something magical. First I ink blended a panel with pink and purple shades and die cut an oval out of it using Dotted Ovals Creative Dies. I wanted to make it look like a window, so I cut off a bit at the bottom.

Now time to do some magic! I covered oval panel with water-based glue and sprinkled it with star glitter. I let it dry and cleaned off the excess. So simple to make, but what an impressive look it created!

Next I foam mounted all of the images to create a town scene.

Do you like this card? Let me know what you think.

Have a great day!

Whimsical Town with Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hi guys!

Today I want to share with you two cards with same scene but different color combo. For both cards I used Whimsical town stamp set.

First one with dusk scene.

I started with stamping two houses on the left corner of my white card panel. I drew a hill by hand, using black copic liner. Also I stamped small details such as birds, little ship etc. I used memento black ink for all images, because I wanted to color them with alcohol markers.

I created sky with sun using few colors of distress ink, I used distress inks to colour the hill, too. Only the sea was colored with copic markers.

Using biggest oval die I die cut a window in other card panel and glued it onto my background with foam adhesive.

My second card I created in the same way but with different colors. I tried to create soft dawn scene.

Oh, hello paw-some friend! with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello, friends! Olga here. I have a fun project for a friend to share today. I was playing with the Best Friends Stamp Set I and created a picture with these cute furry friends which looks like a framed artwork hanging on the wall.

To create this image I used black ink and my MISTI tool to stamp all furry friends onto white cardstock. Then I colored the images with my Copic markers.

Next, using Dotted Patterns: Set 2 Creative Dies I die cut a white and craft frame for the image, as well as the image itself. I combined all die cuts together and voila! my framed artwork is done.

I foam mounted my framed image onto a card base and added a sentiment at the bottom and two little phrases on the sides of the frame.

I added Gold Crystals in every corner of the frame to imitate the look of nails holding the picture on the wall. Also, I just had to add googly eyes to make my card look cute and fun.

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope I was able to inspire you!

Best friends with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Natalia is here. And today I would like to show you simple but very attractive card made with the Best Friends Set.

First of all I stamped this set on paper for alcohol markers and colored everything in brown shades with Copic Sketch and Touch Twin. Cut everything of with usual scissors by contour.

Next I inked the panel with distress inks in pink, peach and yellow shades. I cut out a panel using Dotted Patterns Set – 1 and heat embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder on the top of my inked panel once it was completely dry.

Using foam tape, I adhered cut out “friends” to the inked panel. I mounted the panel on some foam to add more dimension to my card. And that’s it, card is ready.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Cover Plate: 4 Ways with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello, everyone. Natalia here. I love using cover plate dies in my projects and today I want to share with you four fun ways of using Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies. There are many more ways to use this die, but today I would like to show you my favorites.

1. Frame

This die set includes a frame die, which I like to use separately from cover plate, because this frame can be used by itself in any project. In this project though I used a frame die from Dotted Patterns Set – 1 | Creative Dies set to create a frame with windows. For this card I inked a panel with blue shades of distress inks. Next I cut the frame out of grey cardstock. I stamped Together We Bloom | Clear Stamp Set on vellum with white and golden embossing powder and die cut everything using coordinating dies. I heat embossed the sentiment from Blooming Bunch | Clear Stamp Set on black cardstock using white embossing powder and cut it out with scissors. I adhered everything together and decorated with Clear Round Drops.

2. Using negative

First I inked the panel with mint and pink shades of distress inks of mint. Next I heat embossed images from Floral Trimmings | Clear Stamp Set using white embossing powder. I die cut circles using cover die from Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies and a smaller white panel using die from Dotted Patterns Set – 1 | Creative Dies. I glued circles to the white panel and adhered it onto a card base. I heat embossed words best and ever from Best Ever | Clear Stamp Set on a light grey cardstock and word friend on black cardstock using white embossing powder. To finish it off I added some Clear Round Drops.

3. Shaker

I inked a panel with different shades of distress inks. Next I stamped images from Hello Alice and colored it with alcohol markers. I stamped puddle image onto a piece of vellum using silver embossing powder and die cut all the images with coordinating dies.

Next I die cut a window panel using cover plate from Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies from both inked panel and white foam. I filled my shaker with gorgeous Studio Katia embellishments.

I have put all the elements of my shaker together and added a white on black heat embossed sentiment from And The Fox Says | Clear Stamp Set.

4. Partial die-cutting

I inked a panel with mint shades of distress inks. Next I marked a middle on the cover die from Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies with washi tape, which helped me to cut windows only in lower part of the panel. I created a shaker using white foam and filled it with 3MM Majestic Sequins. Next I heat embossed a bouquet image onto a piece of vellum using white embossing powder and fussy cut it by hand. I heat embossed a sentiment from And The Fox Says | Clear Stamp Set using silver embossing powder on grey cardstock and adhered the image and the sentiment strip onto my card.

A friendship card with Laura

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, with a friendship card I made using the Hello Alice stamp set and the Dotted Patterns Fancy Squares Creative dies. Because the kitty image in this set is so cute – and because I am a bit of a cat lady 😉 – I thought it would be fun to create a card with a crowd of sweet cats. So I stamped a bunch of kittens as well as the little girl in the set on some Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir and Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out all the images.

I then cut some watercolor cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Fancy Squares Creative dies. I blended Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans and Salty Ocean on the inside panel, and for some extra interest I added some water splashes and some white droplets.
For the outside frame I used Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. In order to add some fun details I repeatedly stamped the hearts trio in the Hello Alice stamp set using Seedless Preserves.

Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on some black cardstock and adhered everything on a square card base.
And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked this card, and I hope I inspired you to create using the sweet Hello Alice stamp set. Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Laura
