Feel Better Soon Card | Ink On 3

Hello Friends!

Sorry, I have been a bit MIA from the Blog and Social Media this last week. I had my Gallbladder removed last Wednesday and have been slowly recovering since.  Thankfully, every day I feel a little better and am sure I will be back to normal soon!

So today's Feel Better Soon card couldn't be more appropriate. At the time made it, I thought of other people going through some tough times and now I kind of chuckle as the beat up hamster reminds me of me! So ironic now.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the beat up hamster from the KNOCKOUT NIBBLES set using Blackout Ink and then colored him in using Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating  KNOCKOUT NIBBLES die to die cut the critter.

I then picked a spot on the lower half of the card front where the Hamster would be and used the same coordinating die to cut the space for the image to peek through from the inside of the card. On to the black card front base, I stamped out some images using Juicy ink and used 3 different colors of embossing powders to set the different images in.  For the Ka-Pow I used Arctic White, the stars were done using Gold Rush and the starbursts were done using the Chrome Embossing powder.

Once the front embossing was complete, I added some foam tape behind the knocked out hamster and glued him into the die cut space.

Next, I stamped out the rest of the greeting on the inside of the card using Blackout Ink again and a stamp positioner to ensure it stamped well.

For some finishing details, I added some Liquid Pixie Dust to his bruised eye and also added some Glossy Accents and highlights to the gloves. 

I hope you are all having a better week than I am. I will be back on my feet soon... but for now, I'm taking it easy with lots of couch breaks.

If your feeling down or beat up for some reason I hope this card has brought a smile to your face. Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Best Dad Ever | Action Wobbles Card | Ink On 3

Happy weekend my friends!

Today I have a fun Action Wobbles Card to share with you for Father's Day. I can't believe it is already June and Father's day is just around the corner! 

CARD DETAILS

So to begin this card I stamped out this cute little Hamster from the Knockout Nibbles stamp set using Blackout Ink and then colored him in using Copic Markers. I then used the Knockout Nibbles Coordinating Dies to cut out him out. To his little boxing gloves, I added a little Liquid Pixie Dust and them finished them off with glossy accents.

For the sentiment, I stamped out the words using Juicy Ink and then heat set the ink using Arctic White embossing powder. For the background, I die cut some stacked stars out of red, yellow and blue card stock and glued them to the card base. 

Once the stars were glued in place, I attached a wobble spring to the back of Knockout Nibbles and added him to the center of the star. I just love adding that little interactive element to a card.

I hope this card inspired you, it was such a fun card to make and it is even more fun to play with. I will share a clip of it in action on Instagram. So hop on over IG to check it out.

Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you all a great weekend 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Knockout Birthday Spinner Card | Ink On 3

Ka-Pow! Ink On 3 just released a super cute stamp set Knockout Nibbles. Super fun, a perfect set for Dad or for masculine and/or even feminine cards if they are into the boxing scene.

CARD DETAILS

For my card today I thought it would be fun to create a spinner card that would spin the little hamster around the circle opening to make him look like he was super excited about knocking out his opponent.

I began by stamping out the images from Knockout Nibbles using Blackout Ink and then colored them in using Copic Markers. I did stamp two of the hamsters with boxing gloves in the air, as I wanted to finish the back side of the spinner with the same image. I then die cut the images out using the Coordinating Dies. Now even though the hamster isn't symmetrical, the die cut was close enough that I was able to use it rather than creating a mirrored image for the backside of the spinner.

To create the spinning hamsters, I attached a clear thread to the backside of one of the hamsters using a really strong tape adhesive then glued on the other hamster to sandwich in the clear thread. Just make sure you leave the thread long enough to attach to the top and bottom of the window opening.

To the front of the card base, I die cut an opening for the spinning element to spin using a circle die. I then stamped out the two starburst like stamps using Distress Oxide inks and then sprinkled Crystal Clear embossing powder on them to heat set the images.

Next, I die cut another circle (smaller than the previous one) from a piece of blue cardstock to fit behind the window. I then attached the threads of the spinning hamster to the blue piece of cardstock that was then sandwiched with white cardstock to finish off the inside of the card.

Once the spinner was in place I then glued the popped up elements to the front of the card. To embellish, I added white pen highlights, Liquid Pixie Dust to the black eye, and the "O" in pow, and then added glossy accents to the boxing gloves. I also added Prisma glitter sparkle to a few spots on the card front but they don't show up on well in these photos.

On the inside, I added the Happy Birthday Champ right behind the hamster so that you wouldn't see it if the card was flat. And then just below the opening, I added the rest of the greeting.

To see this card in action make sure you are following me on →Instagram as I will share a video clip of it in motion.

I had so much fun creating this Knockout Birthday Spinner Card. I hope you were inspired. Can't wait to give this card to the next little guy who celebrates a birthday in the family!
