Lovely Layers Rainbow Rose | Valentine's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dear friends, and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, this is my first post for 2022 and of course, I had to start off with a Rainbow Rose inspiration🌹🌈😁

Today's card could be used for any occasion, but I did pair it with a "love you" sentiment from the new Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine to make it a valentine's Day Card. 

CARD RECIPE

To begin I die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Roses and then Ink Blended each layer of the petals using Atelier Inks from Inkon3, see thumbnails below.

For the petals, I first used Goddess Green Ink and then went back in with Trinity to darken some of the petals and stems.

I used foam tape to build up the petals of the rose, leaving the center free of foam so that I could add glue to it and pinch it together with reverse tweezers until the glue dried. This gives the rose some fan-like dimension. And, yes this does make the card super bulky. So this would be one card that would have to be hand-delivered or you'd have to put it in a "box of roses". This rose would also look amazing in a frame too! Check out my previous lovely layer frames HERE.

For the background, I used a few of the stencils from the Layered Lace Layering Stencils to add Moonstone Paste and create some glittery borders on the card front.

The "love you" stamp comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine set that was stamped on black cardstock using white ink and embossing PWD. It then was die cut using one of the smaller banners from the Sentiment Banner Dies.

To finish this beauty, I added some of my favorite sequins for even more sparkle and shine.

I hope I didn't disappoint you with this rainbow rose creation. I am absolutely in love with it and hope you are too!

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

Thankful For You Slimline Card | Inkon3

Happy Thanksgiving to my crafty American Friends!

Here in Canada, we had our celebration already but many of you that I have come to know and love over the years are from the US, so this post is dedicated to you. Here are some colorful maple leaves to represent the Canadian in me that is thankful for you!

Today's slimline card features the new Thankful For You Stamp set and a few of the new mini ink cubes from Inkon3. 

To make this card, 

• I stamped out the solid stamp of the maple leaf using a different ink of the mini ink cubes each time slightly overlapping one to the next (see links below for colors).
• Next, I prepped the entire panel with an anti-static bag to do some heat embossing.
• I went back over each leaf and stamped the outline using Juicy Ink and then heat set the lines using Gold Rush Emb. Pwd.
• For the sentiment, I stamped out the Thankful using Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink and then heat set it using Arctic White Emb.Pwd. which was then fussy cut and glued in place with black foam dots.
• I then trimmed the slimline panel and added it to another Gold Glitter panel that was then glued to the card base.
• To finish off this card I added a few gold pearls.

Chinese New Year Galaxy Card - Penguin Palace & Ink On 3 Collaboration

Hello friends,

Today's card is part of a collaboration Hop between Inkon3 and Penguin Palace Stamps which is happening over on👉 Instagram. We teamed up to celebrate the Penguin Palace's 3rd Anniversary!  You can hop along with us on Instagram for your chance to win one of two $25 gift cards (one to the Ink on 3 store and one to the Penguin Palace store). The hop will end on November 7 @ 11:59 PM PDT.

Here is how this card came together.

• Ink blend the background using Peacock Blue Atelier Ink, & Paint it Black Atelier Ink. To make the blending easier start with a blue cardstock panel.
• Using the Stencils 360°™ Starter Kit with the Starry Spiral Stencils 360°™ I used Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink to add the blended stars in the background. 
• Add splatters using Shark Tooth White Atelier Re-Inker diluted with a little water.
• Once the panel is completely dry, use an antistatic powder bag to cover the surface and prep it for heat embossing.
• Stamp out the sentiments from the Legend of The Koi stamp set using Juicy Ink.
• Then use Gold Rush Emb. Powder to heat set the sentiment.

• Finish the card by adding star embellishments. I used Glow in the dark Mini Stars and Iridescent Stars for extra detail and fun!

Hope you got some inspiration from today's Chinese New Year Galaxy Card. It makes me think of one of my best friends, who was Chinese that I lost earlier this year to Cancer. Actually, now that I think about it, it was 6 months to the day today 😭 She was the one person I would always wish Happy Chinese New Year too. I really miss her 💙 but I know she is up in the sky (somewhere in the Galaxy maybe) and will receive my message!

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

Hello, my friends, 

Today's Sweet Petunia Friendship Cards are part of an Ink On 3 and Sweet Petunia Instagram Hop and I hope you can join me over on →Instagram as you can win some goodies from either company.

By the way, have you seen the new Mini Misti?! Just when you think it could get any better it does. Now the Mini is laser etched, it has rounded corners, a pull tab, and the hinges are metal. This is the Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented.  

CARD RECIPE#1

• Figure out the placement of your stamps and place the SWEET PETUNIA stamp into the Mini Misti and use BLACKOUT INK to stamp the design.
• Use the SWEET PETUNIA STENCIL to blend out each layer of rainbow colors onto the flowers. (Atelier Inks used - SWEET PETUNIA, BEE STING YELLOW, GODDESS GREEN, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM.
• To the centers of the flowers use LIQUID PIXIE DUST to add some sparkle.

• Blend out the letters to spell HELLO using the ALPHABET SOUP Stencil and BLACKOUT INK.

• Stamp out the sentiment using BLACKOUT INK and the MISTI to get a great impression.

• Finish with your favorite embellishments.

CARD RECIPE#2

• Use the SWEET PETUNIA STENCIL to blend out the flowers. Atelier colors used - GODDESS GREEN, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM.
• To the centers, I added Ballroom Blue Glitter Accents.

• Stamp out the sentiment using the MISTI and BLACKOUT INK.

• Finish with coordinating colored pearls.

I hope today's Sweet Petunia Friendship cards have inspired you.
