Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Cheer Blog Hop | Merry Christmas Mistletoe Slimline Bridge Poinsettia Card

Hello Friends, and welcome to the Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Cheer Blog Hop. If you have already started you would have come from my friend Bobbi's Blog. Stay tuned as I will get into all the Hop and Giveaway details near the end of this post. So let's get started! 

CARD DETAILS

I began this card by stamping and heat gold embossing all the images from the PRETTY POINSETTIAS stamp set that I was going to use onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored these beautiful images using Karin Pro Brush Markers.

Once the images were dry I die cut them using the coordinating PRETTY POINSETTIAS DIES. 

The next step was to create the background for my images. I used the MISTLETOE SLIMLINE COVER PLATE to die cut two layers and glued them together for added reinforcement. I then created the Slimline Bridge Card by following measurements and directions from one of Jennifer McGuire's Videos. To the center of the Bridge Card, I glued a strip of green glitter paper. I then glued the edges of the MISTLETOE SLIMLINE COVER PLATE to the flaps of the Card. 

The fun part was creating an arrangement on the front of the card. Once I settled on the design I glued the pieces down either with GLUE or foam tape.

The sentiment is a combination of the MERRY DIES and the MERRY stamp set that I stamped onto a small banner from SENTIMENT BANNER DIES. 

As finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the centers of the poinsettias and the berries. I also added some sparkly crystals to where berries would be onto the mistletoe background.

The fun part about these bridge cards is that they fold flat to fit into the envelope.

Merry Christmas Wishes Acetate Foiled Card | Spellbinders | GOM November 2020

Hello Friends! Today I am happy to share one of the easiest cards I have ever made. So simple and yet so elegant, at least in my opinion, lol!

This card features the new Merry Christmas Wishes Foil Plates which you get with the November Hot Foil Kit of the Month from Spellbinders.

CARD DETAILS

As with any other foiled card, I began by heating up the GLIMMER HOT FOIL SYSTEM. I then cut a piece of POLISHED BRASS - Glimmer Foil and placed it into a piece of Heat Resistant Acetate. Next, I placed the plates onto the foil, and once when the heat timer was done I ran the foil sandwich through the PLATINUM 6 DIE CUTTING PLATFORM to transfer the foil. 

I repeated these steps to add the sentiment using the sentiment plates. Normally you would foil onto paper, but this time I experimented on Heat Resistant Acetate and I loved how it turned out.

I then scored the top of the acetate piece to create a hinge and then glued the hinge onto an A2 card panel that I then glued onto a top folding card base.

To finish off the card I added some GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS and voila, how simple was that!?

New Atelier Inks - Rainbow Butterfly Card | Ink On 3

It's inspiration week for Ink On 3's New Ink Release. Make sure to stop by BLOG to enter the giveaways there all week long.

The new inks are so pretty and they make such a great addition to the gorgeous colors of the Ink On 3 Rainbow. Welcome, ATELIER SHARK TOOTH WHITE, ATELIER TRINITY TEAL and the ATELIER SWEET PETUNIA INKS.

CARD DETAILS

For my card today, I wanted to showcase how these colors blended and fit into the rainbow. So of course I had to make a rainbow card (my favorite kind). I began by blending out SWEET PETUNIA, MARILYN RED, MARIGOLD ORANGE, BEE STING YELLOW, GODDESS GREEN, TRINITY TEAL, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM Atelier Inks onto a piece of Bristol paper. I then sprayed the background with water and picked up the water droplets with a paper towel,

Once the paper was dry, I used an antistatic powder bag to prepare the paper for embossing. I then stamped out the inside details of the butterfly wings from the SHINE BRIGHT set using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it by adding some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

Next, I stamped the outer image of the butterfly using BLACKOUT INK. To the inside of each butterfly, I then painted on some LIQUID PIXIE DUST.

To finish off this colorful card I stamped the sentiment onto a black banner once again using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it using some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

I hope you were inspired by this rainbow creation using a wider range of Ink On 3 Inks. Don't forget to stop by the INK ON 3 BLOG for more inspiration and Giveaways.

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