Little Pickup Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Little Pickup Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday Friends, hope you had a wonderful weekend!  

I am back today with literally a little pick "me" up Birthday Card. With the current situation and Social Distancing, both my husband and I have not seen our parents other than during facetime conversations, but last week my FIL turned 74 and with Mother's Day we finally saw them for a quick social distant visit. I thought this was the perfect card to give him since he used to have an old rusty red truck not so long ago.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the Pickup from the LITTLE PICKUP stamp set, colored it using Copic markers, and then cut it using the coordinating LITTLE PICKUP DIES. I also used a pen blade to create an opening around the window.

Next, I blended out the background using the clouds from the  OUTDOOR SCENE BUILDER STENCILS and then masked off and also blended out the area for the grass and the dirt road.

I then die cut the 74 using the BALLOON NUMBER DIES using a foiled cardstock and then distressed the edges of the numbers by scrapping them with the blade of a pair of scissors.  (Saw Melissa (the BOSS) do this on one of the recent Facebook Live's, and thought that was GENIUS!) To tie the balloons, I used foil thread and secured the line behind the truck.

For the sentiment, I used the new BIRTHDAY stamp set to stamp out my birthday wishes across the sky and then finished the greeting by stamping "You're a Classic" in the grassy area.

I hope this little Pickup Birthday card inspired you today. I think this would also make a great Father's Day Card if you are wanting to get started on those.

Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

AlexSyberiaDesign May Digi Stamp Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards


AlexSyberiaDesign May Digi Stamp Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards

Hello Friends! 

Welcome to Alex Syberia Design May Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. I will have all those details at the end of this post. I am in love with these Kokeshi dolls from Alex's release and had so much fun creating these two colorful Kokeshi Doll Friendship Cards. 


CARD DETAILS

For my first card, I combined the KOKESHI DOLL FUMIKO and the FULL BLOOM digital stamps. I used Paint 3D to manipulate and layer the designs, there are various programs out there and tutorials on how to use digital stamps so I will not explain that process.

I then printed the images out onto Neenah Solar White 80lbs paper and colored the images in using Copic markers.

Next, I trimmed the panel and added it to a black cardstock piece cut to fit an A2 card base.

I then stamped a sentiment from Studio Katia's BLOOMING BUNCH stamp set and added some BLOSSOM SPARKLE CRYSTALS. To finish this card off I added some white gel pen detailing and then some glossy accents to add more dimension and shine.

This next card was printed and colored the same way as the previous card. This time using the KOKESHI DOL MITSUKI and again the FULL BLOOM digital stamps.

This time I trimmed the panel a little more to create a larger border around the panel.

The stamp I used here comes from the YOU GOT THIS stamp set from Simon Says Stamp that I curved along the body of the KOKESHI DOL MITSUKI digital stamp.

Rainbow Hugs Friendship Card | No Line Coloring Using Atelier Inks | Ink On 3

Rainbow Hugs Friendship Card | Using Atelier Inks | Ink On 3

Yay, it's Friday!

I hope you all are doing well and have had a wonderful week. I'm sure by now you all know how much I love rainbows, for me rainbows symbolize hope and happiness to come. So I thought it was fitting to add a rainbow in today's friendship card. I pray this Pandemic will end soon so we can hug our families and friends again.
CARD DETAILS 

To begin, I stamped out the cute image from the new FOX AND BUNNY HUGS stamp set using FADEOUT INK. I then lightly drew the rainbow around the fox and bunny image.

I then used both the Atelier Re-inkers and the inkpads to color the images in. I found it easiest to add a drop of ink from the re-inkers onto a paint palette and dilute it with another drop of water. Where I needed a touch of color I picked up ink directly from the ink pad. Once the image was completely dry I added pencil detail for an added layer of shading.

To create the grass I masked off the area under the images and then blended out the area using the ATELIER GODDESS GREEN ink. I then spritzed the area and picked up the water with a paper towel to distress the area. To complete the grass, I added some flicked grass blades using a water brush. To the sky, I added clean water and then added a touch of blue ink from the ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink pad.

I then finished the card by stamping out the Hugs from the FOX AND BUNNY HUGS and then the little butterflies from the FOREVER FRIENDS using JUICY INK and heat setting them using CHROME EMB PWD

I hope this Rainbow Hugs Friendship Card inspired you today and for those of you that need a hug right now during this time, I am sending you one too.

Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
