CARD RECIPE

I began by adding color to a 6x6 piece of cardstock by ink blending using a rainbow of reactive ink cubes. I then ink smooshed the same ink onto the panel to add a layer of detail. Once it was dry I trimmed off the panel to A2 size and reserved the extra piece for the flowers. To the trimmed panel, I used the Abstract Expressionist Bold Prints to add the design to the background. I then stamped the other piece of the panel using Pop Art Flowers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.

To the A2 panel, I then used a couple of the colored embossing powders from the My Monthly Hero Kit March 2022 to heat emboss onto the panel. 

Next, I added Hero Paste using the Abstract Frames Stencil. Once that was dry, I added glue from a zig pen to the raised areas and let it dry a little until it was tacky. I then pressed a scrap piece of glimmer foil into the tacky areas to leave some gold foil behind. 

I then die-cut the Museum Frame Fancy Die and added it to the colorful panel at an angle and then to the center of the frame I added the Pop Art Flowers that I had die cut earlier. To embellish the centers and tie in the gold from the background, I added some gold pearls.

And finally, this masterpiece was finished with a quote from Andy Warhol, that I then fussy cut and glued in place.

I hope you enjoyed this Mixed Media Rainbow Art Card. I had so much fun getting inky and creative with this. If these kinds of cards weren't so time-consuming, I would definitely be making more. It's the dry time that kills me! Do you have any tips for fast mixed media sessions? Let me know!

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

Felt Blooms See Through Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my Crafty Friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had to work a couple of 12-hour shifts, so I had no time for anything else. And now I'm looking forward to a few days off especially now that the weather is warming up. 

I have been wanting to play with felt for a long time and finally, I thought this would be the perfect card to do it with. This card features the darling Whimsical Spring Flowers | Honey Cuts done in felt.

CARD RECIPE

To begin, I actually started with the card base. I die cut both the GARDEN LATTICE CP TOP and the GARDEN LATTICE CP BASE. In between the layers glued down a piece of Acetate. Before gluing the lattice sandwich together, I added the back panel by gluing the thin top hinge I created between the layers.

Next, I die cut all the Whimsical Spring Flowers from various colors of felt. I then glued and layered each flower together and added them to the bottom of the see-through lattice card front. To finish off the flowers I added some Warm and Cool Pearl Stickers.

I then die-cut the Bloom from the Bitty Buzzwords: Bloom Honey Cuts and stamped out and embossed a sentiment from the Bitty Buzzwords: Bloom Stamps and added them to the card front.

To the inside, I stamped out this small Happy Birthday Stamp from the INSIDE SNARKY BIRTHDAY SENTIMENTS set. I made sure that the sentiment hid behind the front die cuts to add the element of surprise. 

I had so much fun playing with the felt flowers and love the fun texture and dimension the felt added. Something different and fun for a Spring Birthday card. Have you ever added felt to a card? Let me know in the comments below. 

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

Rainbow Tulips Thanks a Bunch Card | Studio Katia

Happy humpday Crafty friends! 

Today's card features some new goodies from Studio Katia's latest release. Tulips are some of my favorites so of course, had to add my rainbow touch to them.

CARD RECIPE

To begin I stamped the Happy Tulips out onto watercolor paper and then colored them using Karin Brush Pro Markers. Once the paper was dry I die cut them out using the coordinating Happy Tulips Die.

Next, I used 3 ink pads (linked below) to blend out the background that peeks through the HALFTONE DOTS COVER DIE that I then glued on top of the card front.

Lastly, I created the sentiment by combining the SCRIPT THANKS DIE, with a sentiment from the BERRY SWEET SENTIMENTS that I had trimmed to fit under the Thanks.

To finish, I used the new MAGIC PEARLS scattered on the various sizes of the dotted cover. To the Tulip's heads, I added a little extra sparkle by painting them with Liquid Pixie Dust.

I hope you found this Rainbow Springtime Tulip Thank You Bunch Card inspiring. Rainbows make me happy and I hope these brought some happiness to your day today!

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