Hello everyone… It is Monday and I want to share these rainbow CAS cards with you all. It is fun and quick technique when you want to make a batch of cards at one time.
I am sharing a tutorial at STAMPlorations blog how to make these CAS cards with their clear stickers, plus couple cardmaking ideas that you can use to make these CAS cards.
Hello hello hello everyone… We are already in the middle of May. I love this quote that I used on my card today. Every day is a fresh start. We have another new change every day to start fresh for sure. I hope this will encourage you too.
I used stamping with stencil technique to start the first layer of the background using the Brick Wall stencil. I used pigment ink to stamp the stencil on a heavyweight cardstock.
Next, I taped the Blossoming stencil on the cardstock and using an oval blending brush, I added the black pigment on the cardstock. I only focused on one corner of the cardstock when I blending in the ink on the stencil. I removed the stencil and clean it with stamp cleaner spray towel.
I put the background panel in my spray box (just a little box I have for spraying and splatting inks so I won’t make a mess on my craft table!) and I added some paint splatters on the background panel using the Fireworks! Juicy Purples set from Imagine Crafts. After adding some splatters on it, I dried the whole background panel with craft heater.
I trimmed the background panel slightly smaller than the card base and I added it on the card with permanent adhesive runner.
I added the clear sticker sentiment on a white cardstock, trimmed it, and I added on the card with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.
That’s my mixed media card today. I hope this give you an idea to create with stencils. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Have wonderful day!
Hello hello hello everyone… Today, I would love to share this 3D Envelope Card project with you all. This is not only a card, but also can be display as decor item.
I am a guest at Splitcoaststampers sharing a tutorial how to make this 3D envelope card at Splitcoastatampers forum. You can the step-by-step and video tutorial here.
On my 3D Envelope Card, I used the We R Memory Keeper Envelope punch board to make the base envelope card box, and I also use the new Magnolia Branch digital stamp set from Graciellie Design. I printed them in black and white on a heavyweight white cardstock and then I fussy cut them with scissors.
If you have an electronic diecutting machine such as Silhouette, or Cricut, or Scan-n-Cut, you can print and cut digital stamp easily and quicker than fussy cutting them. I personally love working with Silhouette Print-and-Cut feature and cut with my Silhouette Cameo 3.
I hope you all enjoy the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a fabulous day!
Hello hello hello artzy friends… Mother’s Day is right around the corner here in USA. It is a special day to celebrate women who have special role in our lives as “MOM”.
Today I would like to share a card idea for Mother’s Day. I share this card and details how to make it at Dare 2B Artzy blog.
For the background, I used the Wild Flower Stencil. I used oval blending brush to add the Catherine Pooler Inks on the card.
Hey hey hey… It is May Day!!! New month… New season… New adventure. We all have another chance to start and try something new again. You can start with taking time for yourself if you have been neglecting yourself lately… Don’t forget you are important, too.
My crafty friends, today we have a new challenge for you at STAMPlorations. The design team ladies share their beautiful and fabulous projects to inspire you to create projects using any stencils. You can link up your project for a chance to be one of the challenge winners. Please make sure you read the rules to participate.
I started with creating the background. I spread some gold metallic acrylic paint on a heavyweight cardstock using old credit card, then I let it dried completely. Acrylic paint can be dried with craft heater but you need to be careful to not over heat it otherwise the paint with be over heated and it will be bubbly. I used very thin layer of paint on this panel so air-drying is enough and quick enough.
When the painted background dried well, I added the stencil on top of it and taped it down with the ThermoWeb Purple tape. I added some of the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on the panel with foam. After that, I removed the stencil and then I dried the background panel with craft heater.
I trimmed the background panel bit smaller than the card base. I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges of the panel using foam dauber for extra texture and shadow. I added it on the card base with permanent adhesive runner.
I like the new pre-printed ATC cards from STAMPlorations. You can easily use them for any kind of projects. For this card, I simply added some Distress ink around the edges of the ATC card with foam dauber and then I added on the card with permanent adhesive runner.
I stamped couple of the flowers with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on a white cardstock, dried the ink, and then I colored them with Arteza Woodless Watercolor Pencils and using Wink of Stella Glitter brush to blend in the watercolor pigment. I dried the flowers using craft heater and then I used micro-tip scissors to fussy cut them. I added those flowers on the card with glue dot to give this mixed media card some dimension and layers look but not bulky for sending it out in regular mail.
I hope this sparks an idea for your to create with stencils. I cannot wait to see your projects, too. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day!
