Market Basket Thinking of You Card - Pink Ink Stamps

Hello everyone!  I am so excited to share my first project with you using Pink Ink Stamps.  I was so happy when Peggy contacted me to join her design team.  I am looking forward to sharing my projects with all of you.

For my first card I stamped the Market Basket image on to white cardstock using Memento Rich Cocoa ink  and colored with Spectrum Noir™ Markers.  Then I created a die cut and stamped the Thinking of You sentiment at the top.  I inked the edges of the die cut with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.  The card base is brown with a layer of kraft cardstock.  Then I added a couple layers of My Mind's Eye pattern paper from the Pretty Things Collection.  I added some 3D Foam Squares to add some dimension to the label die cut.  To finish off the card I added a twine bow and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Watercolor Memories Hello Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a quick and easy card to share with you using the new Ken Oliver Watercolor Memories 6 x 6 and Ken Oliver Watercolor Memories Ephemera Sheet

The paper from this collection is a floral watercolor print.  It is so beautiful and very easy to work with.  The Ephemera Sheet is filled with beautiful floral images as well.  With a little bit of fussy cutting and die cutting you can create cards in minutes.

Here is a close up of the calla lily image.  I used  Spellbinders S5-019 Labels Eight to make a couple of layers of die cuts.  Then I added some Blue Iris Seam Binding and 5 mm Black Sequins to embellish the card.  I used the JustRite Papercraft CL-02138 Sweet Posies Cling Stamps to stamp the hello sentiment.  I used  VersaFine Ink Pad - Onyx Black and Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - Clear with a heat tool to emboss the sentiment.  I also used 3D Foam Squares in between the layers of die cuts.

The background paper is from the Watercolor Memories 6 x 6 collection and even though some of it is covered it is that matching calla lily paper.

Happy Birthday Card -JustRite March New Release

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a card to share with you using some of the New Releases from JustRite® Papercraft March release.

I used CL-02168 A2 Woodgrain Upcycled Frame Cling Background Stamp and CR-02166 Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps from the new release.  Now these stamps can be used for several occasions but they are great for creating masculine cards.  I stamped the CL-02168 A2 Woodgrain Upcycled Frame Cling Background Stamp using Rich Cocoa ink and colored the frame with Spectrum Noir™ Markers.  Then I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges of the frame for some shading and the add some depth to the image.  Next I used 484e MIXED RECTANGLE LAYERING DIE SET from Tonic Studios (US) to cut/emboss some rectangles.  *NOTE--Links for the US and UK for Tonic Studios are listed below.  I stamped the sentiment using Rich Cocoa ink and then I used Teal Zeal, Bamboo Leaves ink to stamp some stars from the CR-02144 Bokeh Time Clear Stamps.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.  I tied some twine in a bow around the sentiment and then I added Glossy Accents to the stars.

To finish the card layered the different colors and pieces of cardstock and I used 3D Foam Squares in between some of the layers.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Springtime Fairies Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a pretty springtime card to share with you.

Do you remember this beautiful paper collection?  I now I know some you might be thinking that's an older collection and yes it is but I think it was a favorite to so many and just recently Graphic 45 released a Deluxe Collector's Edition - Springtime 12x12.  I have always loved this collections with all the little fairies, bunnies and flowers.  I created this quick and easy card with a little fussy cutting, a die cut and paper layering.  After that I added a few flowers and pearls for embellishments.  The finished card measures 3-1/4 x 6-3/4.

I fussy cut the images of the fairies and then added 3D Foam Squares to pop them up.  I used  Spellbinders S4-441 Mary Border Strip die template to create the beautiful border die cut.  I used some of the pattern paper for the die cut.  Then I layered those pieces on to some ivory cardstock.  Behind that I layered more of the pattern paper.  To embellish the card I added a few  Melissa Frances Pearls-Cream, Petaloo Botanica Collection White Minis, and Kaisercraft Fairy Floss (pink) Flowers.  For some sparkle I used the  Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on the wings and tiny flowers on the fairies.

Here is a close up of one of the fairies.  Love the sparkle on the wings!

ButterBeeScraps - Pretty Pink Flower Filigree Necklace

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a jewelry piece to share with you.  I designed a necklace using several products from ButterBeeScraps Artistic Treasures.

I had some fun creating this piece and adding some color to the bronze filigree pieces.  The base is a beautiful Bronze Square Filigree and I painted it with Lumiere Pearl Turquoise Paint.  Once the paint was dry I used steel wool to buff the filigree piece so some of the paint would be removed and the bronze metal would show.  Doing this gives the metal piece a patina look.

Next I painted the Bronze Flower 8426 using Vintaj Patina Paint Quartz and Ruby.  I painted the bottle petals with Quartz.  For the middle layer of petals I mixed the Quartz and Ruby paint.  Then for the top layer of petals I used the Ruby paint.  Once the paint was dry I used E6000 to adhere the square and flower filigree pieces.  Then when the adhesive was dry I gave the metal pieces a couple coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Matte Finish.

I added three 6x8mm Faceted Glass Abacus Beads - Clear AB to the center of the flower and I added one Clear AB SS10 Pointy Back Crystal Rhinestone in the center of the beads.  I also added the Clear AB SS10 Pointy Back Crystal Rhinestones to the stamen part of the flower. 

I used a metal hole punch to punch a hole in the bottom of the square filigree piece.  Then I made some beaded dangles to hang from the bottom.  I used Bronze Ball End Head Pin, Bronze Filigree Bead Caps (Item #CAP046-B), 6x8mm Faceted Glass Abacus Beads - Clear AB, 8x12mm Faceted Glass Teardrop Beads - Clear AB, Aqua Crystal Beads and Pink Flower Bead Caps to create the dangles.  Then I attached them using Bronze Jump Rings.

To finish off the necklace I added some bronze chain and a lobster clasp.

This would be a perfect necklace for Spring--now we just need some warmer weather LOL!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Hugs,

Heidi

Ken Oliver Crafts - Change the World Card with Color Burst

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a fun and colorful card to share with you.  Have you heard about the new product called Color Burst from Ken Oliver?  

Color Burst is an exciting new product!  It's a micro fine pigment powder and once you add water to it the colors really truly burst!  It is available in six beautiful and vibrant colors.  

Here is the card I designed using Alizarin Crimson and Orange Color Burst.  I used Color Burst to tint some Gel Gloss for stenciling, create a watercolor background and to hand dye some seam binding.  There are so many different applications that Color Burst can be used for.

I mixed some of the  Golden Extra Heavy Gel Gloss with the Alizarin Crimson Color Burst to create this pretty pink tint.  It only takes just a tiny little sprinkle.

Here is a close up of the pretty pink mix.  I used a piece of Ranger Watercolor Paper along with the Prima Finnabair Elementals Lace Stencil and applied the tinted Gel Gloss and then set it aside to dry.  Be sure to wash the stencil right away for easy cleaning.  

Once the gel was dry then I wet the watercolor paper and started adding the Alizarin Crimson and Orange Color Burst to create a beautiful watercolor background.  I have to say I just LOVE this color combination!  It's so pretty!!

I created a color pallet with my Color Burst.  To do this just sprinkle a little of the Color Burst and add water.  When you're done set it aside to dry (my pallet has a plastic lid) and then next time you want to use it just add some water to reactive the Color Burst.

Here is a quit tip.  If you want to have more control over the Color Burst when adding water you can use a water bottle with a dropper.  Since the Color Burst is a Micro Fine Powder even the little bit of air that comes out from a mist bottle can move the Color Burst powder and it might end up where you don't want it.  But if you use a dropper you will have a lot more control.  I picked up a couple of these bottles at Hobby Lobby and they were very inexpensive.

Here is a close up of the background piece.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.  I used the flourish and sentiment stamp from the 71 006059 Ken Oliver WATERCOLORED MEMORIES Clear Stamp Set 2.  I used Memento Inks, Angel Pink for the flourish and Tangelo for the sentiment.  Then I used Tonic Studio 175e TOPPER DIE INNER SET - THANK YOU die template to create the label shape.  I added a few  Wild Orchid Craft Flowers MKX-122 Mixed Pink/White Cosmos Daisy and for the leaves I used one of the die templates from the 657e ROYAL FERN DIE SET from Tonic Studio.  For the bow I used some hand dyed seam binding.  Can you guess how I dyed the seam binding?  Yep, that's right--Color Burst! For some sparkle I added a few sequins and then I also went over the flowers and leaf die cuts using the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen. 

 **NOTE** Tonic Studio dies linked to a US site and UK site in the supply list.

Here is one more close up of the Color Burst watercolor background with the tinted gels gloss and stenciling.  

I hope you enjoyed the card and tutorial today.  I hope it inspires you to give Color Burst a try!  If you do please let me know--leave a link to your blog or gallery.  I would love to see your artwork!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you have a wonderful and creative weekend!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Easter Blessings Card

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have an Easter card to share with you.  

This Easter card is pretty CAS (Clean And Simple) it is mostly die cutting with a little bit of Copic coloring.  Now if you don't have Copics or if you don't like to color you can still create a card like this using different colors of cardstock and paper piecing.  It will just require a little more die cutting.  

Here is a close up of the bunny in the flowers and grass.  I used S2-160 Die D-Lites - Bunny and S2-152 D-Lites - Flower Field die templates to die cut the shapes.  All of the pieces were cut from white cardstock and then colored with Copic markers.  The coloring was very simple and hardly any blending.  I used some 3D Foam Squares to pop up the two larger flowers and I offset the die cut shapes to give the flowers a different look.  Then I added Melissa Frances White Pearls for flower centers.

Here you can see what all of the die cut shapes looked like once I colored them and the markers I used.  Like I said this is very easy coloring and you could also use just regular markers or do the paper piecing.

I used CR-02152 Best Wishes Clear Stamp Set from JustRite® Papercraft for the sentiment.  To create the die cuts I used S3-205 D-Lites - Petite Labels One.  I used 3D Foam Squares to pop up the label shapes.  All of the die cut pieces were adhered to a piece of light blue cardstock and then on to a top fold white card front.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Hello Friend Card with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Paper

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you.  

Here is the card I designed using the  Graphic 45 Botanical Tea collection.  This paper is so beautiful and so easy to work with.  When paper has so many beautiful patterns you don't want to cover it up and the paper pretty much does the work for you.  I just fussy cut the main image and then layered it with a few more beautiful pieces of pattern paper.  To embellish the card I added a few Melissa Frances Cream Pearls and some Petaloo Botanica Collection Minis Pink flowers.  For a little sparkle I used the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen over top of the flowers and dragonfly in the main image.  I was able to make this card from start to finish in under 10 minutes. There are several images that could be used for the focal point in this paper pad so you would easily be able to create several CAS cards just like this one.

Here is a close up so you can see all the sparkle from the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen.  Love this pen!  It adds just the right amount of sparkle to any project.
