Floral Friendship Cards | Guest Designing for Pigment Craft Co.

Hello, and Happy Monday my crafty Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

Today I am excited to be a Guest Designer for one of my new Favorite Craft Companies, Pigment Craft Co, which also happens to be Canadian! Check out the post →HERE!

I am sharing 3 Floral cards featuring some fabulous new goodies from Pigment Craft Co's June Release.

CARD RECIPE#1

• Stamp flowers and leaves from the ANEMONE set in desired colors. Add details with Copic markers to centers of flowers. I used Distress Oxide inks (Colors used in Supply List below). Allow enough time to dry.
• Use an anti-static powder tool to remove static from stamped images.
• Stamp embossed details using a watermark ink and heat set desired embossing powder. Juicy Ink used with Chrome Emb. Pwd.
• The center of each Anemone was stamped with Black Onyx Ink. 
• Die-cut stamped images using the coordinating ANEMONE DIES.
• Add Glossy Accents to the flower centers and allow to dry. Finish the centers by adding white gel pen highlights. Set aside.

• Stamp out the Thank You from the MUCH TOO KIND stamp set using the same ink and Emb. Pwd. as the previous step.
• Die-cut the sentiment using the coordinating MUCH TOO KIND DIE. 
• Die-cut, stack, and glue together until desired thickness is achieved. I used 4 layers. 
• Color in the heart on the end of the "u" using a Copic color that matches the color scheme.

• Create the background by using the BITTY DOT STENCIL SET and paste of choice. Allow the background to dry.
• Arrange pieces and adhere them to the background using foam tape where needed.
• Finish by adding some Silver Pearls.

CARD RECIPE#2

• On watercolor paper, stamp out the images from the ANEMONE set using a watermark ink and heat set desired embossing powder. Again, Juicy Ink was used with Chrome Emb. Pwd. 
• Die-cut the pieces using the coordinating ANEMONE DIE.
• Color in images. For the flowers, I used a black ink ATELIER PAINT IT BLACK. This ink has some pink and green undertones and is really beautiful when it is lightly blended out. Pictures don't do it justice!
• Once the flowers were dry I repeated the same process for the centers, only this time I sprinkled glitter over the glossy accents while still wet.
• For the leaves, I used ATELIER TRINITY TEAL ink.

• To the background, stamp out the Hello using the DASHING OUTLINE FONTS.
• Add the dots to the background by using the BITTY DOT STENCIL SET and paste of choice. Allow the background to dry.

• Color in the Hello using the same ink as the leaves.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base.
• Arrange the flowers and glue them to the card front using glue and foam where needed.

CARD RECIPE#3

• Stamp out the background using the desired colors along with each layer of the PATTERN BUILDER: FLOWERING PETALS.
• Trim panel.

• Stamp out the Kindness from the MUCH TOO KIND stamp set using the same ink and Emb. Pwd. as card #1.
• Die-cut the Kindness using the coordinating MUCH TOO KIND DIE. 
• Die-cut, stack, and glue together until desired thickness is achieved. I used 4 layers. 

• Glue the stacked greeting to the panel.
• Place the panel in the stamp positioning tool and stamp out the Spread using black ink.

• Glue panel to the card base.
• Embellish by adding Drops of a coordinating color.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Shoot for the Stars Blog Hop | Tonic Studios

Happy Friday Friends and welcome to the Tonic Studios May 2021 Shoot for the Stars Stamp Club Blog Hop. If you have already joined the hop you should have arrived from Seeka's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post, so stay tuned! 

Unfortunately, my stamps did not arrive on time but the good news is that the Shoot for the Moon set was such a hit that it is being re-released as well! So I have made a Shoot for the Moon Shaker card for today's hop inspiration. If you want more inspo with this set check out this blog post →HERE

Let's take a look at this fun release Shoot for the Stars Set US | UK, this set will coordinate well with the Shoot for the Moon Set. 

The cool thing about these sets is that they come in high-quality plastic sleeves, that are compatible to work with A5 ring binders. How cool is that!? They come in an Orange US|UK or Blue binder US|UK.

Before I get started on the card details, I am so excited to share that my→ Frameless Shaker Cards were the inspiration for Tonic's latest Shaker Pockets US | UK! Make sure to check them out!!! 

They are a complete game-changer in the shaker game and I know a few sizes have already sold out! Luckily, I had some from when they were in the development stage and used it for today's project. They come in many sizes and they have this bundle that includes a bunch of sentiment dies, or you can purchase each size individually →HERE.

CARD RECIPE

 (Ingredients found in Supply List)

• Create your background. I used Atelier Re-Inkers to watercolor my background on Watercolor paper. I also added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust for added sparkle before adding the splatters. Set aside to dry.
• Die-cut pieces from the Shoot for the Moon scene. Some will be on the inside and some die-cuts will be glued to the outside. I used cardstock from the SILVER SERVICE paper pad US|UK.
• Figure out where you want to stamp out the greeting. 
• Prepare the surface for heat embossing and stamp sentiment. My paper was very textured at this stage and the impression I got wasn't the best. In hindsight, I should have stamped the sentiment before adding all the splatters.
• To the Moon, I attached a clear thread. See the picture below. This will allow for the moon to wiggle a little when the card is being shaken.
• Wrap the thread around the back of the panel and secure the line with a piece of tape. 
• Trim the background to A2 size. You may need to trim it slightly smaller to fit nicely into the Shaker pocket | UK . 

• Place the panel finished side face down onto the shaker pocket. Fold and secure 3 of the tabs to the backside of the panel.
• Fill the shaker pocket with the shaker bits.
• Seal the pocket by gluing down the last tab.
• Attach the shaker panel to the card base using strong double-sided tape.
• Finish the scene by gluing on the remaining die-cuts along the bottom of the panel. This also hides the fact that there are shaker bits inside adding that surprise element.

Here is what it looks like when the shaker bits are hidden.

Here is a video to show you how fun this card is in action!
