Just Because

March 27, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today. I think we can all agree the world is a crazy place at the moment, but what a better time to send a card to someone to cheer them up.

I have used the A Cup Of Thanks Stamp set for my card today, I love this stamp set and its so perfect for this kind of card.

I stamped onto some Neenah and then coloured using Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers and then used the matching A Cup Of Thanks die.

I then took some more Neenah and used the Dotted Patterns Set 4 main die and die cut the panel. I was going to leave this blank but instead added a light area of ink to sit behind the cup. I also added a sentiment from the You’re So Sweet stamp set.

I decided to try something slightly different and add some twine to the outside of the die, this is a great way to dress an eyelet die like this and is so easy to do.

To give some dimension I usedFoam tape to adhere the cup and also to adhere the panel to some patterned paper which I then adhered to an A2 card.

I really like how this card turned out. I hope you are all staying crafty during this period and staying safe.

Happy crafting.

Rainbow Hello Card with Isha

March 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone! Isha here with a rainbow stenciled card today. Hope you all are staying safe. I wanted to create a fun, cheerful card and rainbows I feel are full of hope and brightens any gloomy day. I used the Ink Splash stencil and added more interest by overlapping parts of it.

I started by making a white top fold cardbase. I die-cut the Half Striped Cover die and label from Dotted Patterns Set 4 from white cardstock. Using the blender brushes, I applied distress oxide inks in spun sugar, squeezed lemonade, wild honey, peacock feathers, wilted violet, worn lipstick and twisted citron through the stencil onto the cardbase. I used the big splat part first. Now I applied the similar colors of ink through the small splatters over the first layer. I then flicked some water. once dry, I flicked some gold watercolor to it. I then die-cut the word HELLO, applied embossing ink and embossed it using WOW! Pearl Gold Sparkle embossing powder. Repeat the process two more times. Stamp the sentiment onto the label.

Adhere the half striped cover die-cut and the sentiment label to the card. Adhere the word. To finish apply a few gold sparkle Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day! Isha

Easy Watercolor Background with Laura

March 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a bright and cheerful card and a video showing how to create an easy watercolor background with Distress Ink Reinkers!

I created the background on some watercolor cardstock that I had die cut with the Scallop Heart Cover die. I wet the panel with water and added a few drops of Distress Reinkers in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass.

I also added some droplets with water, my Distress Inks, white acrylic paint and Spectrum Noir Sparkle ink in the color Jade.

The images I used today are part of the Under the Sea stamp set. I stamped them with Spectrum Noir black alcohol proof ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and colored them with Illustrator markers.

Here is the list of markers I used

Manta Ray: LV3, HB3, HB2, HB1
Jelly Fish: BP7, BP5, BP3, BP1
Squid: OR1, GY3, CT4, CT2
Puffer Fish: JG5, GT3, GT2, GT1
Sea Horse: TB5, TB3, TB1
Crab: CT10, CT7, CT4
Tiny Fish: CT4, CT2, LY1
Star Fish: OR3, OR2, OR1
Sea Weed: CT4, CT2, CT1
Coral: BT6, IB3, IB2, IB1
Rocks: IG7, IG5, IG3

Once the coloring was over, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the sentiment I used the Lovely Words dies and for the black card background I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies.

I added some finishing touches with a glitter brush pen, a white gel pen and a black glaze pen. I mounted everything on a side folding card base and that finished off my card.

If you are interested in seeing the step by step process, here’s my video for you! I hope you like it!

Light Up the World with Tracey

March 18, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hi there it’s Tracey here today hoping to bring you a smile when there is so much going on in our world. Today I have a card using the very cute Paws for Kindness stamps and dies!

I stamped the girl with the cat and dog and coloured the images with Copic Markers. The image was die cut using the co-ordinating dies and set aside.

I prepared the main panel by die cutting the Scallop Honeycomb Cover from white cardstock. Before I stenciled the panel I taped down to my craft mat with Purple Tape so it wouldn’t shift underneath the stencil. I placed the Love for Paws Stencil over the panel and taped it down to my craft mat also with Purple Tape . Using the Studio Katia blending brushes I blended Distress Oxide inks inside the stitched border starting at the bottom of the panel and worked towards the top. I used Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.

The sentiment was added to the top of the panel using the Paws for Kindness stamp set. The top line ‘light up the world with’ was white embossed and then die cut using one of the new banner dies from the Studio Katia Peony Trimmings die set.

I covered the card front with a piece of blue cardstock that co-ordinated with the stenciling. Then the Scallop Honeycomb Cover was attached using Studio Katia doubled-sided white foam tape. To finish off the card I attached the girl with the cat and dog also with the doubled-sided white foam tape.

I think the sentiment created with the Paws for Kindness stamp set is very appropriate with all that is going on in the world today. This one will go out to a friend that needs a hug during this time of social distancing. Thank you so much for joining me today. Wishing you all good health and happiness.

Love for Paws Stencil

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with an easy shaker card featuring the Paws for Kindness stamp set. There is also a video at the end of this post, showing the entire process!

I started by die cutting some watercolor cardstock to create my shaker. For the base I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies, for the top panel I used the Dotted Patterns set 4 dies and for the shaker window I used the Shaker Heart die.

I did some ink blending on the shaker base with my Studio Katia blending brushes and Spectrum Noir Harmony Ink in the Color Fuchsia. I also did some ink blending with the same ink and the Love For Paws stencil on a separate piece of watercolor cardstock. This will be the shaker background.

For my shaker elements I used Majestic Glitter and Chunky Sparkle Glitter.

The image I used on today’s card is part of the Paws for Kindness set. I stamped it with Spectrum Noir Black alcohol proof ink, colored it with Illustrator Markers and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

Here is the list of markers I used

Hair: LY1, GB3, GB5

Shorts: TB9
Shoes: VB3, VB1

Birthday Card with Laura

February 27, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a fun birthday card featuring the Cactus Hugs stamp set. Make sure to check the video at the end of this post for a step by step tutorial!

I started by doing some die cutting to create elements for my card base. I used the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies to cut some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I then cut some Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Dotted Square Frame Die.

The images I used are part of the Cactus Hugs stamp set. To spice things up a little, I decided to do some no-line coloring with Illustrator markers on Neenah Desert storm cardstock.
Once I was done coloring, I die cut everything with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment on some more Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and trimmed a banner around it.
I finished off the card by adding a few Gold Foil Pearls and by mounting everything on a top folding A2 card base.

If you are interested in seeing the whole card making process, you can watch the video down below. I hope you like it!

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

Hello Friend.

February 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a card I created using Pomegranate Trimmings Stamp set.

I will be 100% honest when I first saw this stamp set I really wasnt sure, mainly as I thought it would be tricky to colour. But after using it I can honestly say I love it and it wasn’t actually hard to colour AND it really is something that can be used for so many occasions.

I stamped the stamp onto Neenah cardstock and then coloured using Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers, the small pieces were super easy to colour which made me happy….even though I did miss one, see picture below.

I was going to leave the card plan but I haven’t done ink splatter for a little while so I added some red and black ink splatter along with some white gel pen detailing.

For the sentiment I used a sentiment from the Peony Trimmings stamp set and heat embossed onto some black cardstock, I then used one of the strip dies from the Peony trimmings set to die cut and I used the same die to cut a piece of gold glitter card. I adhered them off centre and put to one side whilst I decided what to do with the rest of the card.

I’ve been trying to think of slightly different ways to mat and layer my cards and decided to go with something that was different, but im so glad I tried. I made an A2 top folding card from Black card and then cut some of the glitter card I used for the sentiment to slightly larger. I adhered the sentiment onto the card and trimmed off the excess.

I then adhered the main piece level with the top and left side of the glitter card leaving a border on the other two sides.

I then adhered it to the card using the same technique and I love how it looked.

I played around with some different gems to finish off and decided to use the new Dark Sparkle crystals and Carmine Red crystals and concerntrated them around the bottom half of the card. I used theEmbellishment wand to help with placement. IF you guys dont have this you NEED it. I have spent so much money in the past on things like this which then don’t work, or lose their grabbing power, or are just a general pain to use. This one though, is just perfect, it has a small metal piece on the other end which helps you push things into place…just perfect. I have arthritus and hand shakes so little gems can be a pain for me but this has honestly made it a lot easier, so thank you Katia 🙂

I’m honestly so happy I gave this stamp set a chance and love how the card turned out.
