CARD RECIPE
  • Ink-blend the background using the Playful Dots Stencil. I used yellow, pink, and blue inks to create the rainbow blend.
  • Leaving the stencil in place, add a layer of glimmer paste. Remove the stencil and wash it immediately as the glimmer paste can be hard to remove once dry. Set the background aside to dry.
  • Die cut the Ho Ho Ho using one layer of Holographic paper, one black layer, and 3 white layers.
  • Glue layers together starting with the holographic one on the bottom, followed by the black layer and white layers. Discard the shadow layers from the white and black layers (or used them on a different card). The black layer adds a little extra shadow and dimension.

  • Arrange the greenery to create a floral arrangement as you like and glue it to the card panel.
  • Add glitter glue to the tips of flowers and greenery. I also added more sparkle by sprinkling on Prisma glitter while the glue was still wet.
  • For even more sparkle add some gems. These ruby-colored ones come from the new Make It Merry Gem Stickers.

Thankful Blooms Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Thankful, Beautiful Blooms, Slimline Card, Honey Bee Stamps,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, floral card,Atelier Inks,Ink Blending,

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday! 

Thought I would start off the week with a colorful creation. I've been wanting to play with the Beautiful Blooms Stamp set for a while and finally this weekend I did. 

Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes I get intimidated by coloring large images, especially when I don't have the time I need. So when I do I try to think of different ways to add color to them. Ink blending is definitely my favorite way of adding color images, and with a stencil, it makes things even easier! Love how this no-line coloring ink blended Slimline Friendship card turned out and hope you do too! 

CARD RECIPE
  • Position the large floral stamp from the Beautiful Blooms in a full-size Misti.
  • Using the Honey Bee No Line Ink, stamp the bottom half of a slimline panel until the image is visible enough to see the lines. Rotate the panel and repeat the image on the top side.

  • Use the Beautiful Blooms Stencil to line up each layer with the stamped image and blend out the image using your favorite inks for blending.  My go-to inks are the Atelier inks from Inkon3. See the colors used in the supply list below.
  • Once the ink blending was done, I then used a glue pen to add fine glitter to some of the floral details.
  • To the center of the panel, I added the Thankful die-cut sentiment from the Bitty Buzzwords: Fall Dies.
  • I then finished off the front by adding a few Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers for more sparkle.

Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards

how to,handmade card,Stamps,ilovedoingallthingscrafty,stamping,,Kickstarter,Fall,Die cutting,Floral Card,Alex Syberia Designs,card making, For You stamp set, From All of Us Stamp Set

Hello friends!

Today's post is going to be super short and sweet. I have waaaayyyy too many things to do right now, so I will keep this brief! 

Alex Syberia Designs need to reach its funding goal to be able to go ahead and manufacture this beautiful collection, so please, help them! You can back them on their Kickstarter Campaign and help them spread the word about it! 

UPDATE: They have reached their Kickstarter GOAL!!! Thank you all that joined us and for supporting this campaign! Make sure to join today's Instagram Hop to enter their amazing giveaway of 15 prizes!

Today I have two inspiration cards today featuring a few of their beautiful sets. 

how to,handmade card,Stamps,ilovedoingallthingscrafty,stamping,,Kickstarter,Fall,Die cutting,Floral Card,Alex Syberia Designs,card making, For You stamp set, From All of Us Stamp Set


To the background, I used the Modern Stripes Stencil 6x6" and applied Moonstone Glimmer paste to create a Slimline sparkly background. To extend the background I simply rotated the stencil once half of the paste was dry.

For this next card, I thought it would be fun to create a Christmas theme. So I added used Christmas colors to do that. This cute card features the From All of Us Stamp Set 4x6" and Coordinating Dies

how to,handmade card,Stamps,ilovedoingallthingscrafty,stamping,,Kickstarter,Fall,Die cutting,Floral Card,Alex Syberia Designs,card making, For You stamp set, From All of Us Stamp Set

For this background, I used the Fancy Background Stencil 6x6" with Gold Glacier Paste.

It's funny how your mind works, I knew there was something missing from this card, and it wasn't until now that I figured out what it was. I forgot to add the Celebrate Word Die to the top of the card. I since have and it really does complete it. Facepalm, LOL! If I end up taking new photos, because this is bugging me now, I will update these, haha!

I hope these Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards inspired you to go over and support this amazing Artist and small business, they are so deserving of all this support!

Thanks again for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting!

Rainbow Shaker Birthday Cards | Studio Katia

Rainbow, Shaker, Birthday Cards,Studio Katia,Infinity,Frameless Shaker,Edge to Edge Shaker,flat shaker,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Shaker Pockets

Hello Friends!

I am back again today to share these two fun Rainbow Shaker Birthday Cards featuring the NEW Shaker Pockets! If you are following me or Studio Katia on Instagram, you may have seen these already in a Reel that was shared this past weekend. But for those that missed it here are all the details!

Fun fact: Did you know that these pockets were developed as a direct result of my DIY Frameless Shaker Cards, no kidding! In fact, Katia was the first person I approached to turn the DIY version into a product to make life easier for anyone who hated messing with foam tape to create shaker cards. 

Since then various other companies jumped onto this idea and have created them too (I must admit I couldn't contain my excitement about these and did share this idea with others at Creativation). Even still, I am so happy to see Studio Katia finally releasing these as they truly are a game changer when it comes to making shakers.

CARD RECIPE

  • Begin by creating the background. For both these cards, I used a piece of pattern paper from the Black on White Paper Set. I then Ink Blended the rainbow starting with yellow ink in the center and then ink blending with pink and blue to create the rainbow blends.
  • Trim the piece of paper to create a background for a mini slimline shaker and an A2 shaker.
  • Remove the protective layer from the Shaker Pocket.
  • I added strong adhesive tape to the back of the card panel, but you could also apply it to the side tabs of the pockets.
  • Next, I wrapped the tabs around the panel and secured three sides to the card panel, to create a pocket. 
  • I filled this first shaker card with Silver Foil Discs, then sealed the last pocket tab.
  • I then attached the panel to an A2 Card Base.
For the front of the card:
  • Stamp out the Birthday Sentiment from the It's Your Birthday stamp set. Use ink that sets quickly or you can heat emboss it too.  
  • Die cut the sentiment done on vellum, using one of the Dotted Balloons Dies.
  • Apply small dots of glue to the balloon behind the stamped image to hide the glue dots.
  • Finish by adding a bow.

This next card was done the exact same way with a few differences that I will point out next.

If you have never made a shaker because they look complicated, or you hate messing with foam tape, like I did, I promise you this is the easiest way to make them and the results speak for themselves. Just look, aren't they magical! Give these a try, I think you will love them!
