Feel Better Soon Card | Ink On 3

Hello Friends!

Sorry, I have been a bit MIA from the Blog and Social Media this last week. I had my Gallbladder removed last Wednesday and have been slowly recovering since.  Thankfully, every day I feel a little better and am sure I will be back to normal soon!

So today's Feel Better Soon card couldn't be more appropriate. At the time made it, I thought of other people going through some tough times and now I kind of chuckle as the beat up hamster reminds me of me! So ironic now.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the beat up hamster from the KNOCKOUT NIBBLES set using Blackout Ink and then colored him in using Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating  KNOCKOUT NIBBLES die to die cut the critter.

I then picked a spot on the lower half of the card front where the Hamster would be and used the same coordinating die to cut the space for the image to peek through from the inside of the card. On to the black card front base, I stamped out some images using Juicy ink and used 3 different colors of embossing powders to set the different images in.  For the Ka-Pow I used Arctic White, the stars were done using Gold Rush and the starbursts were done using the Chrome Embossing powder.

Once the front embossing was complete, I added some foam tape behind the knocked out hamster and glued him into the die cut space.

Next, I stamped out the rest of the greeting on the inside of the card using Blackout Ink again and a stamp positioner to ensure it stamped well.

For some finishing details, I added some Liquid Pixie Dust to his bruised eye and also added some Glossy Accents and highlights to the gloves. 

I hope you are all having a better week than I am. I will be back on my feet soon... but for now, I'm taking it easy with lots of couch breaks.

If your feeling down or beat up for some reason I hope this card has brought a smile to your face. Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Happy Birthday to You Balloon Shaker Card | Studio Katia

So what did you think of Studio Katia's Birthday Release? So much birthday goodness to keep you making birthday cards for this next year, right!? Loving all of it!

CARD DETAILS

For my card today, I started by blending out some Balloons using Distress Oxide inks onto a card panel using the BIRTHDAY BALLOONS DUO STENCIL. I then die cut the panel out using the frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES and then die cut the window for shaker using the larger die from the FANCY CIRCLE DIES. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of ACETATE and added foam tape to the edges and all along the window frame.

Onto the card base, I stamped out the birthday greeting from the IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY stamp set using watermark ink and heat set it using silver embossing powder.

I then added a little mound of the PASTEL RAINBOW CONFETTI to the center of the greeting and glued the top panel to the card base, securing the sequins in the window.

To finish off the front, I die cut the little ribbon from the  SHAKER BALLOON DIE and heat set it with the same silver embossing powder. Then just drew in the balloon string with a silver gel pen.

I hope you liked this fun birthday balloon shaker card. I had fun with this simple design.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

CARD DETAILS
So now let's get on with today's Sparkly card.  I started by stamping out the images from the SPRING PEONY set onto watercolor paper using Fadeout Ink. I then colored the images in using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colors. Once everything was dry I die cut the images using the coordinating SPRING PEONY HONEY CUTS and set the pieces aside to work on the background for the card.

To the background, I used Juicy Ink over one of the DIAMOND PATTERNS Stencils then sprinkled on the BEE TRUE Embossing powder and Heat set it. I then played with the layout of the flowers and glued them in place.

To finish off the card and the greeting, I die cut all of the BLOOM HONEY CUT layers using white cardstock. I then inked out top scripted Bloom with Juicy Ink and then heat set it with the BEE SWEET Embossing Powder. To the next shadow layer, I repeated the same process only this time using the BEE KIND Embossing Powder. I then glued both layers together and glued them to the dotted shadow layer that I then foam mounted to the center of the cluster of flowers. Love how sparkly these powder are and how well they work together!

Next, I stamped out the "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" from the BLOOM stamp set and then used one of the banners from the SENTIMENT BANNER DIES to die cut the greeting and then just glued it in place.

Hope you were inspired by my floral card today featuring the Bee’s Knees Embossing Powder Trio. Stay tuned for more embossing awesomeness coming this week from the Team. Don’t forget this trio will be available Wednesday, June 19th at Honey Bee Stamps Store!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
