Scenic Snapshot Clean and Simple Cards | Spellbinders

Happy November friends!

Wow, I still can't believe how quickly this year has flown. Today I have a few cards to share with you featuring a few of the sets from the Scenic Snapshots Collection. I think these cards are perfect for someone who loves to travel or maybe even a retirement card. 

Also, today starts Kathy Raccosins 30 Day Coloring Challenge for anyone that wants to participate it is a great way to improve on your coloring skills, so click on the link for more information. I will try to participate as often as I can this month so follow me on Instagram to see what I color.

CARD DETAILS

Sometimes, especially when it comes to small die-cut pieces I like to cheat a little. Rather than die-cutting each piece out of different cardstock, I like to die cut everything out of white cardstock and then color it. I find this saves me so much time, plus the results you get are very different as you can add dimension and layers in your coloring.

For this first card, I ran the dies from the SPRINGTIME SCENIC SNAPSHOTS through the die machine using Neenah Solar White cardstock. I then used Copic markers to color each piece in.

Next, I die cut a circle from the panel that will be the card front. I then used a few Distress Oxide inks to blend out the colors on the background. Tumbled Glass for the sky and Mowed Lawn for the grass.

To make the scene fit within the circle I ran the treeline die cut along with the same circle die to trim off the edges.

I then pieced and glued all the die-cut pieces onto the circle cut out.

Before gluing the scene in place, I stamped the sentiment from the WILD AND FREE stamp set along the die-cut circle edge by curving the stamp in my positioner.

For this next card, I repeated the same exact process as my previous card. Once again using Copics on the die-cut pieces and Distress Oxide Inks on the background.

Difficult to see in the picture, but the stars moon and the snow are sparkly as I added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust to them.

This sentiment also comes from the WILD AND FREE stamp set, it is such a great stamp set to have for the traveler in your life.

I hope you all were inspired by these simple Scenic Snapshot cards today. Let me know in the comments below which one is your favorite card. Visit Spellbinders for more Scenic Snapshot inspiration using these dies.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Dia de Muertos - You're Sugar Sweet Skull Card | Ink On 3

Happy Weekend friends!

This year the Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 2, typically it is November 1st the day after Halloween. "Día de Muertos" is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico. The day is viewed not as a day of sadness but as a day of celebration as their loved ones awake and celebrate with them. This day is also known as all Saints Day and is celebrated by many Catholics around the world. So I thought it would be fun to create a card in honor of this special day.

CARD DETAILS

The stamp I am using today comes from Ink On 3's SUGAR SKULL stamp set. I began by stamping out with Versafine Onyx Ink and then heat setting the image with CRYSTAL CLEAR embossing powder. I then fussy cut the simple image.

Next, I colored in the skull using a variety of shimmer powders that I had watered down to watercolor with. I then stamped the sentiment using BLACKOUT Ink onto the card base and popped the skull image in place.

To embellish this simple card, I added some flower petals sequins and finished the centers with a seed bead. I also added glossy accents to the image for some added dimension.

I hope this very simple yet colorful Sugar Sweet Skull Card inspired you today.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Oh Deer Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY | Ink On 3

 “Oh Deer” the holiday season is near, but have no fear the new Ink On 3 stamp set is here!!!

Hello, friends and welcome to the Oh Deer Blog Hop. Today the Ink On 3 Creative Team is sharing inspiration featuring the newest Oh Deer Stamp and Die Set.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped out the deer and the Christmas lights from the OH DEER stamp set using BLACKOUT Ink, colored them in using Copic Markers and then die cut them using the Coordinating OH DEER die set. Rather than leaving a white edge I on the die-cut pieces I colored it in using a dark Copic Maker to blend it more into the night sky background.

Next, I worked on the background panel. First I stamped out the sentiment from the OH DEER set, and then the stars from the MAGICAL UNICORN stamp set using JUICY Ink and then heat set the image using CHROME Embossing powder.  To the inside of the stars, I added LIQUID PIXIE DUST for extra shine. I also added pixe dust to the flowers on the Deer's crown.

After I was done embossing the background, I blended out Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink along the edges of the panel.

To add the colors of the glowing Christmas lights, I figured out where I wanted the lights to be and then stamped them out onto the panel. I then used a small detail brush to blend out tiny circles behind each light with the corresponding Christmas light. Once the colors were blended I then added a layer of LIQUID PIXIE DUST over top. To fill in any empty background areas I then penned in some silver stars with a silver gel pen.

To finish off the card I added glossy accents to certain areas to give them some shine and dimension, love the results especially on the eyes.
