Make A Wish

Today's card is inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video from February 8, 2023. I love all the texture, dimension, and warm color palette. The majority of the products used are by Pretty Pink Posh. The Inks are from Altenew.
I began the background by temporary adhering a 6x6 piece of SCT 80 lb cardstock to my Make Art Staytion. 
I stenciled a total of four rows of designs. The first is Layered Birthday Cakes, the second is Layered Candles, the third is Layered Party Hats, the final is Layered Presents. All stencils are by Pretty Pink Posh. 
As you can see, I used a rainbow of warm colors on each row. I used the following Altenew inks: Rouge, Crimson, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Snapdragon, Marigold, Sunray, Chamomile, Fresh Lemon, and Honey Drizzle.
When I was done, I used Gina K Glitter Glitz Gel in gold with a scattered star stencil. 
Pro Tip: I masked off the rows above and below where I was ink blending to avoid inking in adjacent spaces. 
I cut the word Wish, using the die from Pretty Pink Posh Wish stamp and die set. Then, in my Misti, I put a piece of white cardstock under the stenciled panel. I layed the Wish stamp over it, to line it up with the die cut word. I took the stenciled panel away, stamped with Versafine, then clear heat embossed. 
Using the Pretty Pink Posh Make A Wish Scrip die, I cut Make and A from Gina K Passionate Pink cardstock three times. I stacked and adhered the words. Pro Tip: I added Ranger's Glossy Accents to the stacked words to add shine.
To make my sub-sentiment's background match my card, I ink blended Altenew ink onto a piece of SCT 80lb cardstock before stamping. After I stamped on it, I trimmed the paper down with my paper trimmer and cut dovetails with scissors.
Finished card. I love how it turned out! There's a lot going on, with stenciling, stamping, and die cutting. However, it doesn't look too busy. There's also texture and dimension. Pro Tip: I die cut the word Wish two more times out of white cardstock scraps before adhering them onto the stenciled panel. This recesses the stamped image, giving more dimension.

Springtime Slimline It's finally spring and the flowers are starting to bloom outside and in my craft room! Today, I made this spring-themed birthday card for my niece. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire. She made a video two years ago who where she made a card similar to this. If you don't know who she is, her channel is a must watch!  These floral framed tiles look like stained glass. Like my post a week ago, I used Distress Oxides to get the watercolor effect of their backgrounds. Products needed for this card are Distress Oxides or other water-reactive ink, blending brushes or other blending tool, a slimline card base, pieces of white cardstock, a piece of halographic cardstock, square frame dies (I used these from Pinkfresh Studios), and a sentiment die (I used a border die from Lawn Fawn). I started by randomlly ink blending with green and blue oxides. By blending ink first, the completed look is more striking. If you want a more subtle background,...

Decorations-1

Hello, and welcome to my blog. For today's post, I am once again a guest designer for Christmas Craft Creations. This month's theme is decorations. One of the first things I put up for Christmas is our stockings, so I had to create a card with a stocking. I used Spellbinders Stocking Full of Joy die set.  I didn't have a red cardstock the color I wanted. Something I do often is adding ink direct to paper. This is basically creating your own colored cardstock. I used Altenew's Crisp Dye Ink in Vineyard Berry, then die cut the stocking. I used Aged Mahogany Distress Ink to add shadows. I cut the top of the stocking and loop from Simon Says Stamp Matte Gold Cardstock.  I used different shades of green to make the foliage appear more organic. The red berries are cut from the first inked paper. For the white berries, I again went direct to paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Once the items are finished and ready ...

Add A Hat-2

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I made this cute penguin card for Christmas Craft Creations. This month's theme is Hats On. I love the warm hats that these penguins are wearing. I'll walk you step-by-step through this card. I started with Lawn Fawn's Here We Go A-Waddling stamp set. I stamped out the trio of carolers, the guitar player, and the lamppost. I colored the images with Copic markers: C9, C6, C3, C2, BG09, BG18, RV69, R29, R20, V17, V15, G46, G28, Y26, YR24, E59, E39, B000, Y17, Y15, and YR 18. I cut two snow banks out of Neenah Classic Crest Cover Solar White 80lb cardstock with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside Borders. I then used Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides to ink the edges of the banks. Pro tip: use a light color, e.g. blue or grey, to line the edges of a white image to give it more depth. I took an A2 panel in landscape position and inked the top 3/4 with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide. Then, using the new Ra...
