Koi Pond Inspired Friendship Cards | Ink On 3

Happy Friday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a trio of cards inspired by the new KOI POND stamp set from Ink On 3.  I am in love with the latest release, which by the way I just received not too long ago because snail mail is really real right now people😏 Thanks Covid!

Check out the goodies from the latest release... The KOI POND, BEYOUTIFUL, MIRROR STAMP, PONDIE STENCIL and the WAVY STENCIL.

CARD DETAILS

The first card I created was this shaker card. I first stamped out the fish using the FADEOUT INK onto Bristol Paper. I then colored them in using a variety of ATELIER INKS, I used every color on them listed below in the Supply section. 

Next, I masked the fish and added a very light blend of blue using the new WAVY STENCIL and ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink.

I then stamped out the Lilly pads using ATELIER GODDESS GREEN by doing some second and third generation stamping to get the gradient shades. The ripples and bubbles were stamped using the ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink and just blurred and colored in with a water brush. 

The sentiment stamped in the center also comes from the KOI POND set that I stamped using BLACKOUT INK.

Before adding the shaker window,  I added a layer of LIQID PIXIE DUST to all the KOI fish for sparkle.

I then used a Rectangle Frame to create the window for the shaker panel that I filled with clear sequin bits to allow the colors to shine.

This next card was so simple to make and I love the results.

I began by adding a subtle green color of ATELIER GODDESS GREEN using the WAVY STENCIL. I then moved the stencil and repeated the process, this time using ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE. Before removing the stencil I added a layer of Glimmer Paste, removed the stencil, and allowed it to dry.

I then finished off this simple card by adding the stamped sentiment on the card from the KOI POND set and adding a few clear bubbles.

For this final card, I started by blending ATELIER BEE STING YELLOW, ATELIER MARILYN RED, and ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE together and overlapping them in areas to create the blended colors on the PONDIE STENCIL. Before removing the stencil I added a layer of glimmer paste and then set it aside to dry.

I then stamped out one of the KOI using JUICY INK, and then heat set it using GOLD RUSH EMB.PWD. I then used the same 3 colors that I used on the background to color the fish in. Once it was dry I fussy cut the fish out.

The sentiment comes from two older sets, the Hey from HEY GORGEOUS and the Friend from HEELS TO YOU set that were stamped again using JUICY INK, and then heat set it using GOLD RUSH EMB.PWD.

To finish this card, I popped the Koi onto a bed of coiled foil thread and added some iridescent bubbles.

Hope this trio of Koi Pond friendship cards inspired you today. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

A Flourishing Note Hello Friendship Card | Studio Katia

Hey everyone!

Today I am sending you all a Flourishing Hello. Love this new FLOURISHING NOTE stamp from Studio Katia, it is so pretty and it makes for such a beautiful friendship card 😍

CARD DETAILS

To begin this beauty, I stamped out the image from the FLOURISHING NOTE and colored it in using Copic markers. I then used the coordinating FLOURISHING NOTE DIES to cut out the image as well as the Hello die 3 times from black cardstock that I will use later on.

For the background, I first used the inside of the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER to die cut the hearts from the white panel. I then used the largest scallop frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to finish off the card panel.

Behind the heart openings, I glued a piece of pale pink cardstock to add another layer of color. I then die cut another layer of blue hearts using the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER to add a blue edge to the white hearts, I then popped the hearts back in place with foam tape and glued the Flourishing Card Stamp in place.

TIP: I also used the same blue cardstock piece that I die cut the blue heart edges from to glue onto the card base as the center of the panel gets covered up and won't be seen.

For finishing touches, I added some new BLUEBELL PEARLS and then added the hello that I had stacked and glued together from the FLOURISHING NOTE DIES and then added Glossy Accents to.

Wishing you all a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Hello Summer Blog Hop Day 2 | Hello Tropical Lattice Garden Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Welcome to Day TWO of the Honey Bee Stamps Hello Summer Release Blog Hop. If you have already hopped your way here you would have arrived from Vera Yates' Blog. Stick around and I will let you know where to hop next at the end of this post. If you just want to start again from the beginning click HERE to get you started.

CARD DETAILS

My card today features the beautiful PARADISE BLOOMS that I stamped out and colored using Copic Markers and then die cut them with the coordinating PARADISE BLOOM Dies.

I then embellished each flower with glossy accents and added Liquid Pixie Dust to some and set them aside to dry while I worked on the background.

For the slimline background, I first blended distress oxide inks onto a paper panel. I then trimmed it down to fit behind the frame from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIE set.  I then created the lattice for the background using the GARDEN LATTICE CP TOP. To extend the size of the lattice, I used a partial die cut technique, but if you don't want to do that you can just join two die-cut pieces as the flowers in front will cover up the seem anyways. I then trimmed the edges of the lattice to fit under the slimline scallop frame and then glued all the layers to the card front.

Next, I arranged the flowers and glued them all to the card front using foam tape in areas to add dimension. To the centers of the Plumeria flowers, I added some white GEM STICKERS.

The hello sentiment die also comes from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIE set, I die cut it 3 times, stacked and glued it together. I also added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust to the top of and finished off with a layer of glossy accents.
