Water Color Painted Sunflower Card

 Water Color Painted Sunflower Card

Hello and welcome to my Blog. 

I have been having technical issues and I am trying hard to resolve them. My apologizes to everyone, bare with me.

I designed todays card using the new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. 

SUNFLOWER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER

$16.50 #166145

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

It is so popular it keeps selling out!! It will be available again September 29th.

For todays card I decided to water color the sunflower. 

I started by cutting a piece of water color paper to 5" x 5" and running it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

I used my Water Painters, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Old Olive, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie Inks. 

*Tip: If you push down on the stamp pad lid when it's closed, it will transfer some of the ink to the lid and you can use that as your paint palette. Using these colors, I made sure my brush was wet and I started adding color to the image. I start off lightly then I can build up more color as I go along. After I finished coloring the flowers and the leaves, I splattered some Pecan Pie Ink very lightly over the image. I love this look! Once you are happy with the results, set it aside to dry. 

After it dried completely, I attached it to a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of Basic Black Card Stock using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Then I wrapped some Black Bakers Twine around this layer a few times and tied a bow on the right hand side. 

Then I attached this layer to my card base, Timid Tiger Card Stock cut to 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" and scored in half.

I stamped my sentiment onto Basic White Card Stock using Memento Black Ink and the Light & Wonder Stamp Set. After stamping the black ink image, I stamped the word "Love" over top of it using Timid Tiger Ink. Flag cut one end and attach using Dimensionals to the card front.

LIGHT & WONDER PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET 

$26.00 #165756

Light & Wonder Stamp Set (This is also available as a Bundle Set.)

I added a Bumblebee Trinket to the tag to finish the card off. 

                            

 

I hope you have enjoyed todays card! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2023. Thank you for following along on my Blog and sending me comments! I love hearing from you.

I have a sneak peak card for you today. It's the adorable "Thanks A Bunch" Stamp Set that will be one of the free Sale-A-Bration offerings starting January 5th, 2023.

 Who knew carrots could be so cute!! 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of the New "Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper" to 4" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the card base. This DSP is another free Sale-A-Bration offering! It has 48 double sided sheets!

Cut a piece of Vellum to 4 5/8" x 3 5/8" and attach over the DSP layer. *Tip: add adhesive to the Vellum where it will be covered by the art panel so the adhesive doesn't show through.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3" x 4". Stamp the carrots in 2nd generation Pumpkin Pie Ink. What does 2nd generation mean?? Ink up the carrot stamp, stamp off once onto scrap paper then stamp onto the C/S. This gives you a lighter colour. Stamp the carrot detail stamp in full strength Pumpkin Pie Ink. Stamp the carrot tops in Garden Green Ink. Stamp 3 more carrot tops onto scrap paper, fussy cut and attach over the stamped carrot tops using Dimensionals.  

Cut a piece of Crumb Cake C/S to 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" and layer the art panel onto this.

Wrap some Crumb Cake Essentials Bakers Twine around this panel 2x's and tie a bow onto the right side. Attach this layer to the card base using Dimensionals.

Stamp "Thanks" and "a bunch" onto Basic White C/S using Memento Black ink. Cut apart and attach to the card using Dimensionals.

Add a Bumblebee Trinket or whatever you have on hand to finish off the card.

I hope you have enjoyed todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Bee-utiful Flowers

 Bee-utiful Flowers

I used the beautiful stamp set "Blessings Of Home" and my Stampin' Blends to create this pretty floral card. I love the little Bumblebee Trinkets! 

I find colouring with the Stampin' Blends to be very relaxing and so satisfying when you see the results. Give them a try!

Directions:

Cut a piece of Polished Pink Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". 

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 3 3/4" x 5" and attach it to the card base.

Cut a piece of Very Vanilla C/S to 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". Using Memento Black Ink, stamp the large floral image from the Blessings Of Home Stamp Set. Colour the floral image using Stampin' Blends. I used: Soft Sea Foam, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I also added some Wink Of Stella to the flowers for some pretty sparkle!

Attach this panel to the card base.

Add a Polished Pink bow and a Bumblebee Trinket. 

Thanks for visiting today!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Fun Fold Z Card

Fun Fold Z Card

I decided to make a Fun Fold Z Card. They are super easy to do and fun to make!

Directions and Sizes:

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Soft Succulent Card Stock. Score on the long side at 2 1/8" x 4 1/4". The 2 1/8" section will fold back to create the Z.

I then cut a piece of Evening Evergreen C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this panel onto the left side folded back piece only using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" and a piece of Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper to 2 1/2" x 4". Attach the DSP to the Basic Black panel. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a Very Vanilla C/S tag using the Elegant Tag Punch. Stamp a sentiment using the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Evening Evergreen Ink. Attach the tag to the card front at an angle using Dimensionals.

Add a Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon bow, a Bumblebee Trinket and some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.
