Fruity Friendship Summer Cards | Part of Pigment Craft Co Instagram Hop

Hello sweet friends and welcome back to my blog 👋

Today I am super excited to be a part of the Pigment Craft Co Instagram Hop for their June Release. They are a fairly new Stamp company and are proudly Canadian. Check them out!

These cards are part of an IG Hop. So make sure you are following me over on Instagram as I will be giving away a $25 Gift Card, plus if you hop and leave a comment on each stop you will also qualify for a chance at one of two $100 Gift Cards to the Pigment Craft Co Shop. The best part is that it is a very short hop, so it won't take long. I hope to see you there!

If you love fresh summer designs I think you will love Pigment's June Release. So let's get started with today's cards.

CARD RECIPE #1 

• Stamp background using Pattern Builder: Flowering Petals. I used green and yellow ink from Pink Fresh Studio.
• Stamp out peaches and leaves using stamps from the Fruity Stamp Set and die cut using coordinating Fruity Dies. Pop up seed in the center of the peaches.

• Stamp out letters using Dashing Outline Fonts set to spell out Peachy. Color in the desired color. I used a Copic Marker. 
• Die-cut using coordinating Dashing Fonts Dies.
• Use foam tape to pop up the peachy letters and space evenly on the card panel.
• Use a stamp positioner to stamp out the greeting using sentiments from the Berry Sentiments Stamp Set.

• Embellish with coordinating pearls.
• Add Sparkle Glitter for a pop of shine on the letters.

CARD RECIPE #2 

• Use the leaves from the Fruity Set to stamp out the leaves on the top half of the background panel. I used a green distress oxide ink and then sprayed it down to cause some ink to bleed and move on the paper. Trim panel and set it aside to dry.
• Stamp out the lemons from the same Fruity Set. I used the Squeezed Lemon and Mustard Seed Oxide to stamp out the lemons.

• Stamp out the sentiment in the white space at the bottom of the panel.
• Pop the lemons in place using foam tape. 
• Glue onto coordinating yellow cardstock background. 

• Embellish using pearls.

CARD RECIPE #3 

• Create the background using Bitty Diagonal Stripe Stencil, I used a gold gel pen to draw the lines.
•  Stamp out the strawberries from the Jumbo Berry Stamp using desired inks. Here I used Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Oxide inks. Plus I also used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron OI for the foliage. 

• The Sweet Wishes tag was made by die cutting the letters from a strip of paper using the dies from the Berry Sentiment Dies and then cutting out a fishtail flag. Attach to card using foam tape.
• Stamp the birthday greeting below the flag using a stamp positioner and the sentiment from the Berry Sentiments Stamp Set.

• Trim panel and add to a coordinating color cardstock panel and glue that to the card base. 
• Finish card by adding extra design details. Green Pearls, a Gingham bow, gold gel pen details to the seeds topped off using White Crystal Drops for dimension.

I hope these Fruity Friendship Cards got you excited for the Summer.

Poppy Cards - Stamping and Masking to create different card designs

Hey Everyone!

Today it is all about Poppy Cards created with one of Fleurette Bloom's latest Stamp sets Poppies.

I've been wanting to try masking to create my own unique designs and finally got the chance! This is a great way to make the most of a stamp especially if you are like me and just getting into stamping :) The mask was done by stamping my images on some Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper and then using my Silhouette PixScan mat, to cut the images out. Click HERE for previous tutorial on using the PixScan. 

For this card I also used her Happy Days Stamp Set. The images were stamped onto Neenah Solar White 80lbs paper using Memento tuxedo black ink.  The Happy Birthday was stamped using Versafine Onyx black and then embossed and set with Wow! Regular Clear Gloss embossing powder. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to colour the images in (CR4, CR6, CT2, CT4, CG1,CG2). Then I used the Die-namics Wonky stitched Rectangle to frame it out. The card base is a landscape, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" mounted onto a black piece of cardstock cut to the same size. Finished by adding some sparkle by using some Clear Wink of Stella, and some sequins.

Isn't she pretty!? Never knew I could feel this way about a card, lol!

To the inside I added the smaller poppy to the bottom corner.

For those of you that like to watch You Tube videos, here is a video I put together of during the making of this card. If you haven't yet make sure you subscribe to my channel :)

And here is another card I made using similar techniques.

For this one I used the Rectangle Stitch Die from Simon Says, Spectrum Noir Markers (CR4, CR5, CG1, CG2, BT1), White Embossing powder, and some Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets.

For this next card I also used little butterfly from Fleurette Bloom's Thank You Stamp Set.

I also used the Spectrum Noir Markers CG1, CG2, OR1, OR2, OR3, CT4, and BT1. The Stitched Circle Die from Simon Says Stamp and a Script Embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. This Card base is a 5 1/2" Square.

Hope you have enjoyed my Poppy Cards and maybe even got a little inspired to create your own designs using the masking technique! If you do don't forget to share your creations on Fleurette Bloom's FB Page. We would love to see them :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
