The Ton's 4th Anniversary Blog Hop | Day 3

Hello Crafty friends! Today I am uber excited to be Guest Designing for Day 3 of The Ton's 4th Anniversary Blog Hop. This time Effie has introduced 9 new designs for this release. There are some free gifts with purchase promotions ongoing. Head over to The Ton Stamps' blog for more details. 

For my projects, I have created two super cute cards to showcase a few of the new sets from this release. Make sure you read the end of the post to check out the Giveaway details and where to get started on the Hop! Here is my first card featuring the Coming Up Peonies Stamp set.

CARD DETAILS

To start, I stamped out the large peony stamp onto watercolor paper using a watermark ink and then heat set it with white embossing powder. I then used Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to loosely watercolor the flowers in the finished off by adding some tine color splashes.

Next, I die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die and then glued it onto an A2 card base. I then stamped out the sentiment onto a piece of paper that I had die cut with the same rectangle die to add the stitching to the ends. The Hello, Fabulous stamp comes from the Power Pumps set that I will be sharing in the next card. I then just added some sequins to the card front and finished off the center of the large flower with Stickles glitter and some tiny yellow Nuvo Crystal drops.

Now, what girl would love a pair of these Power Pumps?!?😍 Of course, I had to make them look like Christian Louboutin Patent Glossy Pumps. If I didn't have terrible nurse feet I would love a pair of these LOL... But sadly I have to wear orthotics, so I'll stick to the Stamped kind. It's a lot safer for my health and for my wallet!

To make this card, I began by stamping out the jewels onto a piece of Neenah cardstock using a couple of the grey color inks from the Pewter Mini sets to create the patterned background. I then stamped out the pumps on another piece of paper starting with the grey stamped ink pieces on the pumps. I then used Black Versafine Onyx Ink to add the black layer since I wanted to give these heels a high gloss finish and heat set them with clear embossing powder. Rather than stamping out the red of the sole I used the R46 Copic marker. I then fussy cut the pumps leaving a white edge around the shoes.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Power Pumps set onto a strip of white cardstock. I then glued it onto a red strip that I trimmed to the size of the background panel and glued that onto an A2 size black card base.  I then popped the pumps up with foam tape and glued them in place. For an added touch of Bling, I glued on some bows to the heels and added some jewels to the centers. I also finished off the card with some crystals and added glossy accents to the larger jewels on the stamped background. I think this card could be used for so many occasions. I absolutely love how this card turned out and want to make some more for my girlfriends!

Does Some Bunny Need a Hug Card - Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps

Hello there, today I have the pleasure of guest designing for Whimsy Stamps.
As soon as I saw this cute little Hugs Bunny set, I just knew I had to add it to my collection. I find hugs always make things better, especially when it comes to my kids. But, many times even adults need a hug too, especially when times are tough or someone just had a rough day. I'm pretty sure this set is going to be very loved.

To make this card, I started by stamping out the bear and bunny image on a piece of watercolor paper, using Blackout ink. I then masked the images and stamped out one of the wreaths from the Farm House Wreath set. Then I colored the images in using Tombow Dual Brush markers and blended the colors out with a water brush. The sentiment was stamped out using a white pigment ink on black cardstock, and then I heat set with white embossing powder. Finished the card by adhering the panel to an A2 top folding card and then added some sequins, Wink of Stella sparkle and glossy accents as a finishing touch.

Tombow Pens Used: 158, 177, 225, 772, 800, 942, 990, 992, N15

Here is a close up of this adorable embrace 💓

I love how simple and sweet this card turned out and hope you did too. One of the hardest kinds of cards I find to make are sympathy cards, yet I think a card think this would be perfect just by changing out the sentiment. Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. For more inspiration using Whimsy Stamps please visit their Blog.

Happy Crafting  Everyone,
and since today Monday and usually the hardest day to get through, I'm sending HUGS to all 😊
