Praying for Peace Card | Cards For Ukraine

Hello friends, 

I am still in disbelief at what is happening in the world right now. It feels like the last couple of years have been robbed from us because of the Pandemic and now we are facing war. Watching the events, leave me filled with feelings of sadness and helplessness for the people of Ukraine. So I turn to my creativity to help me work through my feelings, just as many other cardmakers I know are doing. If you want to share a card and do the same post it using the hashtag #CardsforUkraine

Please join me over on Instagram as many of us from the cardmaking community have joined together for a 2 Day Instagram Hop to flood the grid with Blue and Yellow 💙💛images to show support and solidarity for the Ukrainian people. 

This card will also be auctioned off soon, as part of the Ukrainian Card Drive for Peace. So make sure to follow this Instagram account to see when it will go live for auction 👉@ukrainecarddrive and for more details.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time, please keep on praying for the people of Ukraine and for peace. 

Ilda 💙💛

Hot Air Balloon Dream Card | Hero Arts | MMHK 02/22

Hello friends and happy Monday!

Have you ever taken a Hot Air Balloon ride? I haven't but it is definitely something I would love to do someday. Hopefully, I will as the sentiment says "live the life of [my]dreams"

CARD RECIPE

Today's card comes from a few of the Add On sets from this month's My Monthly Hero Kit. This Hot Air Balloon Looking Glass die set is so pretty. Once I had die cut all the layers, I colored the balloons in Rainbow colors using Copic Markers and then added some ink blending using Splash ink to the edges of the clouds. The rest is so simple, stack all the layers together and add a piece of Black glitter paper to the background. I wanted this to look like the Hot air balloons were floating in the starry night sky. How dreamy, right!?

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

Foiled Tulip Thank You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my crafty friends,

This has been a busy crafty week for me, so I hope you aren't tired of all the posts, lol! I promise it is the last blog post for this week. 

Today's foiled beauty is part of Honey Bee Stamps Modern Spring Release Instagram Hop. So if you would like to take part, hop along for a chance at winning one of two $25 Gift Cards to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop. Click 👉HERE to hop.

CARD RECIPE

If you saw my last card from the release, the one with the bee, you would have seen I foiled the background using the Lovely Layers: Greenery | Honey Cuts with the Hot Foil System. Here is a quick video in case you missed it, or see the previous post for more 👉here.

Always keep the negative scraps of your foil so that you can use it to make another background as I did here for this shiny background. To do that you will need a solid foil plate SSS|SB and a hot foil system SB and I used the Aura Glimmer foil. Once my panel was foiled, I trimmed it to 3.75 X 5 inches and glued it to the card base. 

I then die-cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Tulips | Honey Cuts and pieced them together. For the center of the tulip, I also added Aura foil, by adding a layer of glue (wait for it to dry until it is tacky but not wet using a Zig Glue pen) to the stamen and brandishing it with a piece of glimmer foil scrap.

Next, I foiled the Thanks sentiment from the Small Card, Big Hug Foil Plates on Black cardstock using the same foil. Cut it and glued it in place.

To embellish the card I added a foiled ribbon tied in a bow to one of the stems and added some Warm Pearls Stickers. 

I hope this simple and yet so elegant foiled card inspired you. This card was a challenge to photograph because of the ever-changing colors from the foil, but it is so so pretty in real life.

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