CARD RECIPE

To start I stamped the Sunflower from the SUNSHINE OF HOPE Stamp onto masking paper and then fussy cut the image to use for masking out the design. I then stamped out the Sunflower 4 times using different angles onto Bristol paper. 

Next, I watercolored the images using Karin Brush Markers Pro. Once the paper was dry I used the scalloped frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to cut out the card panel. 

To the center of the panel, I then stamped out a few of the sentiments from the SUNSHINE OF HOPE Stamp set. 

To finish I attached the panel using foam tape to a slimline card base that I had glued a yellow cardstock layer to. And, finally, I finished up the card with some coordinating bling... SATIN PALE LEMON PEARLS,  SATIN LEAF PEARLS, and SATIN AQUA PEARLS. To the centers, I also added some Chucky Sparkle Glitter.

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

Rainbow Tulips Thanks a Bunch Card | Studio Katia

Happy humpday Crafty friends! 

Today's card features some new goodies from Studio Katia's latest release. Tulips are some of my favorites so of course, had to add my rainbow touch to them.

CARD RECIPE

To begin I stamped the Happy Tulips out onto watercolor paper and then colored them using Karin Brush Pro Markers. Once the paper was dry I die cut them out using the coordinating Happy Tulips Die.

Next, I used 3 ink pads (linked below) to blend out the background that peeks through the HALFTONE DOTS COVER DIE that I then glued on top of the card front.

Lastly, I created the sentiment by combining the SCRIPT THANKS DIE, with a sentiment from the BERRY SWEET SENTIMENTS that I had trimmed to fit under the Thanks.

To finish, I used the new MAGIC PEARLS scattered on the various sizes of the dotted cover. To the Tulip's heads, I added a little extra sparkle by painting them with Liquid Pixie Dust.

I hope you found this Rainbow Springtime Tulip Thank You Bunch Card inspiring. Rainbows make me happy and I hope these brought some happiness to your day today!

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

Autumn Splendor Thank You See Through Card | Honey Bee Stamps Day 2 Autumn Splendor Sneak Peek

Happy Saturday!

Welcome back to Day 2 Sneak Peaks for the Autumn Splendor release from Honey Bee Stamps.

I told you yesterday, Fall was my favorite season and the colors of this card are why I do so much. The warm colors are just so pretty, especially in nature.

This Fall card features the Autumn Splendor Cover Plate Die coming soon that I decided to watercolor. There are so many ways to use this background and I can't wait to see what everyone does with it.

Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 2 product reveals! Please note that some links will not be active until the Release goes live on August 16th, 2021 @ 9pm CST.

Dies:

•  Autumn Splendor Cover Plate Die

• Inside: Thankful Sentiments Dies

• Thanks Buzzword Dies

How pretty is this background. Once the panel was colored, I sandwiched acetate in between another layer to cover up the backside of the background and make the front panel stronger. 

To the top, I finished off the card with two rectangle frames. As you can see the sentiment is visible through the card. Keep reading to see what you can do to keep the sentiment a surprise.

I used this sentiment from the Inside: Thankful Sentiments Stamp Set. To hide the sentiment from the recipient as the card is see-through, simply add a piece of copy paper. 

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 3 sneak peeks... Happy Crafting!

Thanksgiving Inspiration Cards | Studio Katia

Happy Wednesday Friends!

I am back today with a few Thanksgiving Inspiration Cards for Studio Katia. Even though 2020 has been such a terrible year for all of us around the world, there is still so much to be thankful for. 

CARD DETAILS

I began these cards by stamping out the images from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set (which by the way is currently on sale if you are interested). I used VersaFine Onyx Ink and then heat set it with a clear embossing powder so that I could do some really easy water coloring using Karin Brushmarkers. 

Once the images where dry I die cut them out using the coordinating AUTUMN BORDERS DIES. Under each die-cut, I left enough room to add a sentiment from the AUTUMN BORDERS set and then trimmed excess paper underneath.

I then popped up the strips using foam tape and attached them to these beautiful backgrounds and finished them off by adding some pearls. On this card, I used the AMETHYST PEARLS.

To create these beautiful backgrounds, I used the MINI ARCS STENCIL, and I created my own gold paste (because I didn't have any) by mixing Platinum Embellishment Mousse with a little bit of Solar Flare Shimmer Powder. 

Doesn't the pattern remind you of acorn tops? Such a pretty design and I just love the texture this paste created.

To finish off this card I added WINE BERRY PEARLS.  Love how these cards turned out!

I hope these Thanksgiving cards inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
