Floral Friendship Cards | Guest Designing for Pigment Craft Co.

Hello, and Happy Monday my crafty Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

Today I am excited to be a Guest Designer for one of my new Favorite Craft Companies, Pigment Craft Co, which also happens to be Canadian! Check out the post →HERE!

I am sharing 3 Floral cards featuring some fabulous new goodies from Pigment Craft Co's June Release.

CARD RECIPE#1

• Stamp flowers and leaves from the ANEMONE set in desired colors. Add details with Copic markers to centers of flowers. I used Distress Oxide inks (Colors used in Supply List below). Allow enough time to dry.
• Use an anti-static powder tool to remove static from stamped images.
• Stamp embossed details using a watermark ink and heat set desired embossing powder. Juicy Ink used with Chrome Emb. Pwd.
• The center of each Anemone was stamped with Black Onyx Ink. 
• Die-cut stamped images using the coordinating ANEMONE DIES.
• Add Glossy Accents to the flower centers and allow to dry. Finish the centers by adding white gel pen highlights. Set aside.

• Stamp out the Thank You from the MUCH TOO KIND stamp set using the same ink and Emb. Pwd. as the previous step.
• Die-cut the sentiment using the coordinating MUCH TOO KIND DIE. 
• Die-cut, stack, and glue together until desired thickness is achieved. I used 4 layers. 
• Color in the heart on the end of the "u" using a Copic color that matches the color scheme.

• Create the background by using the BITTY DOT STENCIL SET and paste of choice. Allow the background to dry.
• Arrange pieces and adhere them to the background using foam tape where needed.
• Finish by adding some Silver Pearls.

CARD RECIPE#2

• On watercolor paper, stamp out the images from the ANEMONE set using a watermark ink and heat set desired embossing powder. Again, Juicy Ink was used with Chrome Emb. Pwd. 
• Die-cut the pieces using the coordinating ANEMONE DIE.
• Color in images. For the flowers, I used a black ink ATELIER PAINT IT BLACK. This ink has some pink and green undertones and is really beautiful when it is lightly blended out. Pictures don't do it justice!
• Once the flowers were dry I repeated the same process for the centers, only this time I sprinkled glitter over the glossy accents while still wet.
• For the leaves, I used ATELIER TRINITY TEAL ink.

• To the background, stamp out the Hello using the DASHING OUTLINE FONTS.
• Add the dots to the background by using the BITTY DOT STENCIL SET and paste of choice. Allow the background to dry.

• Color in the Hello using the same ink as the leaves.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base.
• Arrange the flowers and glue them to the card front using glue and foam where needed.

CARD RECIPE#3

• Stamp out the background using the desired colors along with each layer of the PATTERN BUILDER: FLOWERING PETALS.
• Trim panel.

• Stamp out the Kindness from the MUCH TOO KIND stamp set using the same ink and Emb. Pwd. as card #1.
• Die-cut the Kindness using the coordinating MUCH TOO KIND DIE. 
• Die-cut, stack, and glue together until desired thickness is achieved. I used 4 layers. 

• Glue the stacked greeting to the panel.
• Place the panel in the stamp positioning tool and stamp out the Spread using black ink.

• Glue panel to the card base.
• Embellish by adding Drops of a coordinating color.

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

Honey Bee Stamps Bee Bold Honey Release: Final Day - Thank You Teacher Cards and A Bunch of Bouquet Cards

Yay! It is the Final day of the Honey Bee Stamps BEE BOLD Sneak Peeks, which means soon you will all be able to buy these goodies for yourself 😍 Make sure you stop by the HBS Blog for the more sneak peeks for the Final Day!

This first card today features the new Best Teacher Stamps and dies, the Truly Great Friends Dies, Bunch of Bouquet Dies and the Angular Banner Dies.

When I think of Teachers I always think of apples so I had to add some apples from the Bushel and a Peck Stamp and Die set, and added the added the apples to a basket from the Bunch of Bouquet Dies.

Finished the inside with a sentiment from the Best Teacher stamp set.

For the next three cards, I die cut all the images from the Bunch of Bouquet Dies out using Neenah Solar white cardstock and then colored all of them in with Copic markers.

For this first card, I added the flowers to the watering can and then stamped out my sentiment from Love Bug Set. I also used one of the Scalloped A7 Rectangles dies for the top card panel that I trimmed off the top as this is an A2 sized card.

Here is the inside of the first card.

For the second card, I did pretty much the same thing as the first card only this time I used the

Cheerful Sentiments stamps. 

And finally, for my last card, I once again used the A7 Scalloped Rectangle dies and cut off the ends to add to an A2 card front. I then added two flower-filled pots to the left of the card and then stamped a couple of bees from the Bee Hive Stamp set on the right.

These sentiment stamps come from the Friends Like You set.
The centers of the flowers are actually yellow confetti from the Summer Sun Confetti mix that I have filled with glossy accents. I also added glossy accents to the little bees and the tiny little heart that I added to the center of the O.

And here is a look at all three of these encouragement friendship cards.

Hope you were inspired by my cards today. Thank you for stopping by. Make sure you stop by tomorrow for the BEE BOLD Blog Hop, you won't want to miss it!

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
