Hollyhocks Thank You Card - No Line Coloring

Hello friends!

This week the Ink On 3 Design team has been sharing some card previews of the new Hollyhocks Stamp and Die Set that is coming out June 14th!

So here is a peek at my card...
I just LOVE this stamp and think you all will too! 😍

To color in this card, I first stamped the image using Fadeout ink and then loosely colored in the image using Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors.

The Thank you die comes as a stand-alone die along with the coordinating die set. All I did to it was snip the little butterfly that is attached and added glossy accents to finish it off.

To complete the card, I used the "you are amazing" sentiments and stamped them out using Blackout Ink. And there you have it, a beautiful no line Hollyhock thank you card!

I appreciate the time you spent here, so thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Coffee Lovers Blog Spring and Summer 2018 Blog Hop - Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and welcome to Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! 

Are you a coffee lover? Well, I have a love/hate relationship with it. If I could I would drink more of it, but sadly I have to limit my intake as I'm too sensitive to caffeine and become an insomniac. So one cup early in the day is all I can handle. Sometimes if I want more, I will drink a decaffeinated coffee, but it's just not the same LOL!

So today I'm joining the Honey Bee Stamps DT as Honey Bee Stamps is a Super Sponsor of the Coffee Lovers Hop and will be giving away a $50 GC as well as 2 - $25 flash prizes. So make sure you join in on the fun as there are many companies participating and lots of great goodies to be given away! Click → HERE to see more inspiration from our team, and Click → HERE to get you started on the HOP. 😁 Also, make sure you leave a comment below to qualify for a prize from Honey Bee Stamps.

My card today is a one layer card with some added dimension. A super quick thank you card that which was really easy make 😉

I began by die cutting the Thanks, staking and gluing them together, then placed it on the card front to see where to position the "a latte".  The "A" btw, comes from the Foxy Sentiment Set. Once I had the position figured out, I stamped the words out using Broken China Distress Oxide ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. Next, I used a watermark ink and stamped the coffee beans all over the card front. I then used a brush to apply the copper perfect pearls to each bean. For added detail, I stamped out the coffee cup from the Penny the Platypus Set and colored it in with a few distress oxide inks, then added it to the card panel with foam to pop it up. As a final touch, I added some pink hearts here and there.

And there you have it, a super quick coffee themed thank you card.
Have fun hopping along the Coffee Lovers Blog Spring and Summer 2018 Blog Hop!

Lily Pad Shape Card | Ink On 3

HELLO!!! I am so excited to share with you my first Fleurette Bloom Design Team project today!

Here is a very quick card I made using some elements from Fleurette Bloom's latest Swan Lake Element Collection. The coolest part was making the coordinating envelope with the Swan Lake Digital Paper Collection. Love how turned out, so elegant... if a card can be that, lol!

I have owned my Silhouette Cameo for over a year now but had not really been using the machine to it's fullest potential! For some reason, I was always intimidated to use the fill pattern option of the program... well not anymore! All it took was one time and I am hooked! I will be using a lot more digital papers now!!! SO easy, can't believe it took me this long! Just look at how pretty the envelope is! I think it adds so much and, makes the card just that much more special! Don't forget to stop by Fluerette Bloom's Shop and check out all of her beautiful digital coordinating papers!  

Here it is again from a different angle. Isn't it SO pretty? It looks so much like the real thing! 

Take a look inside. I added a white inset layer... this adds a little extra strength and stability to the card... also makes it easier to see what is written when a darker color is used.

Here is a screenshot of how I turned the lily pad element into a shape card. If you are a visual person (like me) you'll appreciate this! It's true... a picture IS worth a thousand words!

To make this simple, I placed all my steps in one screenshot. I'll start of with the top left image of the lily pad and work clockwise.

1. Import your lily pad base, this will then become the bottom part of the front of your card.
2. To create the back of my card, first I copied and pasted the lily pad. Next, I drew a straight line down the side of the card and then changed the style of the line to a dash. Group them together. 
3. Copy and paste image 2. Take your knife tool and cut the piece off just after the dash line you just created. Delete the piece with the dash line. 
4. To create the piece that lines the inside of the card, click on the image you created in step 3, and select the internal offset option. I set my offset at 0.1 inches.

And that is how easy it is to create a shape card! Now all that is left to do is cut out all your pieces and assemble. 

Dimensions:

• Envelope - 9.910" H x 6.380" W
• Lily Pad - 4.425" H x 4.620" W 
• Lily Pad top layer - 4.355" H x 4.555" W
• Large Flower layer - 4.080" H x 4.270" W (highlight all flower layers when adjusting the measurements to keep them all proportional)
• Sentiment Base - 0.940" H x 2.895" W

NOTE:

• You could stop after step 2,  if you don't want to create the liner for the inside of your card. If you do, simply just cut the pieces out and place glue to the left of the dash line. Line up with the front piece of the card and press together! 
• Don't forget you can also use the print and cut option to create the lily pad and flower if you decided not to make it 3 dimensional! 

I hope you liked my Lily Pad shape card, and have learned how to make your own... at least the way I do. I'm sure there are so many other ways! Make sure you stop by Fleurette's Blog or Facebook page today because she has got some exciting news to share with her fans!
