Rainbow Mums Teapot Arrangement Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I was able to get away for a girl's Spa weekend to celebrate my beautiful Sister-in-law's 40th Birthday. I didn't realize how much I need that 😜

Anyways, on to today's card. As you can see I can't stay away from making rainbows whenever I can. This card features all new goodies from the Honey Bee Stamp Spooktacular Release.

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers Mum Dies from white card stock. I die cut an extra small Mum for this arrangement.
• Ink Blend each layer of the Mum in a different color of the rainbow. Try to go in rainbow order. I used Atelier Inks from Inkon3 for my rainbow colors. 
• Curl petal ends slightly, assemble and glue flowers together. Use foam in between layers for extra dimension.
• Die cut the Tea Pot base. I used gold foil cardstock as I didn't want it to compete with any other color.

• For the background, I used the Fanciful A2 Foil Plate to create a dry embossed textured panel by running it through my Die Cutter with the impression mat. I then trimmed it and added it to an A2 size card base.
• Next, I glued the Teapot and flower arrangement to the card front.

• For the sentiment, I stamped the Hello from the Fall Foliage Frame Stamp set on vellum using the Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink with white embossing powder. 
• Die cut the Hello with the coordinating die from the Fall Foliage Frame Die set.
• Stamp out the my friend from the same stamp set only this time use black ink on white paper and die cut.
• Finish the card by adding some water like drops from the Shimmer and Shine Enamel Sticker set.
• For extra sparkle add some glue to the center of the flower and sprinkle on some glitter.

I hope this firenship card of Rainbow Mums in a Teapot brightened your day! Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign | Blog Hop 1 & Giveaway

The moment has arrived!! Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign is live!

Today, we are celebrating the launch of Alex Syberia Designs' very first collection of physical products through their Kickstarter Campaign! With clear stamps, dies and stencils, there's something for everyone to love!

To look at all of the designs in detail (including videos!), the exclusive offers they have for you, and see how you can support them, make sure you check their Kickstarter Campaign Page.

I am so happy for Alex and her new venture. And even more excited to be a part of this journey of hers as I have been a fan of hers for the longest time.

Both my cards feature a couple of adorable cuties from the new Smile and Wave Stamp and Die Set. If you have been following me you know I have a thing for shaker cards and love to come up with different ways to make them. For these two cards, I used my clear bag shaker technique to create two Partial See Through Cards. I won't go into all the how-to details here, but if you are interested in creating cards like these, click HERE for the complete tutorial!

With both cards, I stamped out the critters using Copic-friendly black ink and then colored them in using Copic markers. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. For some of them, I also cut out another blank die cut to use on the backside to cover up any visible ink that could be seen through the see-through card panel.

For the background, I actually used leftover ink from ink blending done using the Modern Stripes Stencil that I sprayed down with water and pressed into the stencil, resulting in a watercolor transfer. I then split the panel in half to create two cards.

On the inside of the cards, I stamped out a sentiment from the Smile and Wave set. For shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Sequins.

As you can see below, this second card was done pretty much like the first one. I used the excess of the previous background panel to create the "mountain" for my penguin to climb. 

For the previous card the critter was glued to the inside of the shaker pocket, but for this one below the stamped images are glued to the outside of the panel. For this shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Confetti. The flatter the filler the better for sending these types of cards through the mail.

Here is what they look like when the cards are opened up. To keep your written message from being seen from the front you just have to write it on the bottom half of the card.

And just so you can get another visual of the see-through shaker panel, here are my fingers behind the front panel of the card.

I hope you enjoyed these fun see-through shaker cards, and give them a try. They are actually quite easy to make. Now let's get back to the blog hop details and the amazing giveaways!

Hello Fall Floral Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends 👋

It's my favorite time of year when all the leaves start to change colors and you can smell the warm pumpkin spice in the air 😋

So for today's card, I wanted to create a fall-inspired Daisy hello card with this beautiful Daisy Bunch Set from Studio Katia, done in yellow these remind me of Black Eyed Susans.

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp out Daisy Bunch using Copic-friendly ink. 
• Color in Daisies using Copics. 
• Die cut with coordinating Daisy Bunch Dies.
• To the centers add white gel pen details and Sparkle Glitter using tiny drops of glue.

• Stamp the hi from the Simply 'Hi' Stamp using Black Ink.
• Die cut with the coordinating Simply 'Hi' Dies.
• Add Foam Strips 1/8th to the back of the die cuts.
• Add stamped finished daisies and the "hi" to a background blended using the Grid Stencil and yellow ink.
• Glue the trimmed background using foam tape to the front of the card base.
• Finish the front by adding some Satin Lemon Pearls.

• Stamp the inside with a sentiment from the Daisy Bunch set and add daisies along the bottom edge of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed today's Hello Fall Daisies Card. Now go enjoy the beautiful Fall weather while you can, especially if your seasons are short like ours.

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

Thankful for You Floral Arrangement Card | Studio Katia - STAMPtember Exclusive Stamp Set

Hello, my friends! 

It is time to reveal the STAMPtember Studio Katia Exclusive set for Simon Says Stamp. It is a gorgeous Fall Floral arrangement set called Grateful Florals, you can buy the stamp set alone, or if you like get them with the coordinating dies!

CARD RECIPE

Here is how this card came together:

• On Kraft cardstock, I stamped out the Grateful Florals using Blackout Ink. Leave the stamp in the Stamp positioner as you need it for re-stamping later.
• Next, I colored in the floral arrangement using Prisma Colored pencils.
• I then placed the finished colored image back into the Misti and restamped it with the Blackout Ink. Make sure the ink is completely dry before moving on to the next step. (Blackout ink dries quickly)
• I then blended out a few distress Oxide Inks using the Autumn Leaves Stencil to the background. (see links below in the supply list below) 
• OPTIONAL: Create a mask for the arrangement and or ink blend background first.  I didn't mask this as I could see where not to blend over through the stencil and I didn't want to risk pulling off or tearing anything with a mask.

• Once the stenciled background was dry I added the heat embossed sentiment using Gold Rush Emb. Powder. To make the sentiment stand out a bit more I added a shadow layer to the sentiment by slightly moving the position of the stamp. 
• Next, I trimmed up the panel and added a gold shadow layer behind it before attaching it with foam tape to the kraft card base. 
• To finish off this beauty I added some Satin Gold Pearls.

I'm thankful for you all and I hope you were inspired by this beautiful Fall Floral Arrangement Card💖

Happy Crafting my friends and have a wonderful weekend!

Ilda 🍂
