Swimming By To Say I Love You Valentine's Day Card

Hello Friends!

I'm back again today with another interactive card featuring the Swimming By Stamp Set from Honey Bee Stamps. Love this little mermaid 😍 

As you know, if you've been following my work I absolutely love creating interactive cards. Although I LOVE clean and simple cards (CAS), I almost never make anything simple, lol!

So her She is...
and what do you think of my background?!

Watch as the mermaid swims all around the card!

Yup, still going!

As you probably can tell I created the background using Tim Holtz Alcohol inks. Like everyone else, I had been experimenting with them and this background was my favorite, so of course I had to turn it into a card. Since the background reminded me of water, I knew I had to use the Swimming By stamp set. And, since I was using a Mermaid stamp, I thought why not use my Mermaid Markers to color my images in! I really did have fun with this card 😆

To create the spinning part of card, I used a couple of large circle dies. I popped up the center cut out circle with foam tape as well as the outer edge of the card, the inner circle was glued directly to the card base. I then created 2 sliders for the mermaid to attach to, using a smaller circle die and a couple of slider disks. Once they were completely dry I inserted them into the well of the cut out circle channel.  Next, I glued the mermaid to the top of the slider elements. I then added the sentiments to the inside and the top of the card. Finally I embellished the card with lots of bling using a sparkle pen, glitter pen, rhinestones, and glossy accents.

Just look at all the shine, so pretty in when you see it person!

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps


Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is Release Day for Ink On 3's new stamps sets, and they are SO cute!!! Today's card features the Lil Chicks set which I immediately fell in love with 😍 

How CUTE are this little Easter Chicks!?!

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps

I thought it would be fun to create a card with all my chicks dressed up in different outfits. Like many of us "chicks" (AKA MOM's), these Lil Chicks also wear a variety of hats. I think this would make a great Easter Card for a friend or mom in your life.

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps

To color my chickies in, I used Zig Clean Color Brushes on Bristol Paper.
Then once I was done, I used the Scan n Cut to cut my images out, but if you don't have one Ink On 3 does provide FREE digital downloadable dies with each stamp set.

To create the cute little egg backgrounds, I cut out an oval shape from a post it note and masked off the area where I was going to add the stamps to. Then I used distress oxide inks to blend out each egg.

Here are a few close up shots of these darling chicks!
