Dance and Twirl Blog Hop | Ink On 3 New Release | Giveaway

Hello my crafty Friends and welcome to Ink On 3's New Release...

This new Dance and Twirl set is just darling! Love all these little ballerina images! 

Your cards will be TUTU cute for the tiny dancers in your life 😍 If you have already started on the Hop, you have arrived from the very talented Dana's Blog...wasn't her card super cute!? I'll have more details for you about our giveaway and where to go next at the end of this post.

So here is my first card 😀

I thought it would be fun to have all these little ballerinas on stage!

Here is how this card was made:

• I started off by stamping out the images onto Copic friendly cardstock using the Blackout Ink.
• I then colored images in using Copic markers. To each dress, I added clear Wink of Stella and also used a white pen on their cheeks. Die-cut them out with coordinating dies.
• I then worked on the background panel. Began by masking off the top half by using a strip of masking tape.
• I then used vintage photo distress oxide ink to blend out what would be a hardwood floor. I then used a water brush to create the lines and ridges into the wood and used a paper towel to pick up the water leaving behind the lighter areas on the blended ink.
• Next, I lifted the masking tape and lined it up with the "flooring" and then blended out a rainbow of spotlights using picked raspberry, squeezed lemon and peacock feathers distress oxide inks. To the edges of the panel, I also used black soot.
• I then trimmed down the background panel and stamped out the Sparkle and Shine sentiment using Juicy Ink and Arctic White embossing powder to heat set it.
• I then added the panel to a black card base and added the ballerinas to the card front using foam tape to pop them up. 
• I then glued down a sprinkle of stars to the background. 

To the inside, I stamped out Happy Birthday Princess using Blackout Ink.

For this next card, I kept the design super simple. I wanted the spotlight to be on this sweet little ballerina and so that is what I did... made a spotlight!

Here is how this card was made:

• I stamped out the mouse ballerina image using Blackout Ink and then die cut it out.
• Next, I colored it in with Copic Markers and then added clear Wink of Stella to the dress and white pen to her cheeks.
• I then created the background panel. I began by masking off the area for the spotlight. I used masking tape to create the downward rays and then used the negative of a circle die, cut from post-it tape and added that to the bottom of the masked off area.
• I then used iced spruce oxide ink to blend out the spotlight area. I also added white pigment ink just along the very bottom and the highest point of the spotlight.
• Once the ink was dry I used the Juice Ink to add my sentiments and then once again heat set them with Arctic White embossing powder.
• I then die cut the panel with a scalloped edge and added it to a piece of silver glimmer cardstock. I then attached that layer to a grey cardstock base.
• To the back of the little ballerina mouse, I added an action wobble spring and attached to the card front.
• I then finished the card by adding some silver rhinestone embellishments for a touch of sparkle.

Here it is action!  Super fun to play with in person 😀

Honey Bee Stamps Cheerful Love Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends, and welcome to my Blog!!!

Thank you for hopping on over to the last stop for today's Honey Bee Cheerful Love Blog Hop.

The Honey Bee Stamps Cheerful Love Release is now available in the store. To celebrate the new release, we are having a two day blog hop called Cheerful Love. So please hop along with us both days to be inspired! 

For my first card, I used two new sets. 

Penny the Platypus and the Congrats Grad Stamps sets.

I thought it would be super cute to create and interactive scene card for Penny the Platypus' Graduation. To begin I colored Penny and her accessories with Prismacolor pencils. Once the coloring and cutting was done, I began to build the shaker. To create the shaker window I used the two largest Double Stitched Frames Dies. Next, I wanted to create the illusion of  the moving graduation cap, so I taped a very fine clear thread to the back of the cap then glued the ends to the sides of the rectangle frame. I then sandwiched the thread between the frame and the acetate. Before attaching the thread, I made sure I left enough slack for the up and down movement. In this case I wanted it to appear like it was sitting on her head and I also wanted to make sure I left it long enough so that when the hat moved up it would cover up the HATS OFF sentiment. The shaker mix consists of Clear Iridescent Sequins and Unicorn Rhinestones.

As you can see here in the image below the HAT is OFF! and the sentiment is covered up.
I had fun with this design.

To the inside of the card I mixed a few of the Congrats Grad sentiments to stamp my message.

Watch a short clip of Penny's hat here in action!

For my next card,  I wanted to continue playing with my Prismacolor pencils. I think I'm hooked on coloring with pencils now... btw, this was the second card I had ever made using Prismacolors and the first time was the previous Graduation card! I can't believe how fun it is to color with them!

Anyways, onto the card. 

For my second card,  I used the new Feelin' Foxy and the Foxy Sentiments Stamp sets.

I also used the Country Blooms and the tree stencil from the Outdoor Scenes Builder Set.

I LOVE how this scene turned out. 

For this card I chose to make it for a lady, so in order to make the fox look more feminine I added a few lashes and gave her some blushed cheeks.

Of course I had complete the foxy themed birthday message, so to coordinate it I stamped "my Foxy Friend" on the inside. I just love how you can build your own messages with the Honey Bee sentiment stamps!

I have to say this Foxy Friend Birthday card was my favorite card to create, so I chose it to film today's process video. I wish I had time to do a video for all three cards but unfortunately I didn't have the time. If you'd like to watch a newbie like me color and create this card, check out my video.

And finally, here is my third and final card.

 A clean and simple, quick shaker card using the new Ridiculously Happy stamp set. Again here I used a couple of the Double Stitched Frames Dies to create the window/top panel. Then I stamped my sentiment using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink and heat set it with a clear embossing powder. The little bees I used come from the Busy Bees Stamp Set. I stamped them onto the card base and I used Spectrum Noir markers to color them in. Before attaching the window/top panel, I filled the little window area with some Little Love heart Sequins.



To finish this card off, I added this fun message on the inside.
I think this would make a great card for a friend or loved one!

I hope you were inspired by my card creations today using these amazing new Honey Bee sets.
