Simon Says Stamp - Friend Like You NEW RELEASE

 

Happy Friday friends, thanks for joining me to read how I made this cheerful shaker card for Simon Says Stamp who have a brand new release out as of yesterday called 'Friend Like You'.  For this card I have used the new Under Water Stencils and the Smile sentiment stamp set together with an A2 Waffle Flower Shaker Cover found here.

I started with a white A2 panel of white cardstock and in turn I used the new stencil set and four shades of pink inks to create a slightly groovy background.  I then came in with a metallic gelly roll pen by Sakura and along the lines of the colour changes so that as the card moves it beautifully catches the light.

I used the shaker cover and enclosed the stencilled panel on three sides and then went through my stash of sequins and embellishments to create a mix that worked with the background tones.  Once happy, I closed the fourth edge, thus sealing the contents inside and I adhered that to a sturdy card base.

To finish the design I grabbed the Smile sentiment stamp set and stamped the combination I was wanting using Versamark Ink and I heat embossed in gold.   I fussy cut the large SMILE and adhered it to the outside of the shaker pocket and the smaller sentiment was done on a little strip which I tucked in place and adhered.

Shake, shake, shake it!  This card was done!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Purple Onion Designs - NEW RELEASE!

 

Welcome to my blog and a quick look at my first card of several that showcases the brand new release from Purple Onion Designs which is available now!  I shall be working with the stamps from Chilliezgraphy by Pei in her 'Tofu & Friends Spring Is In The Air Stamp Collection'.  The sweet image I'm working with today is called 'Picnic Buddies'.

I ink blended a little grass and sky on a panel of cardstock that I had die cut.  I added a frame around it and backed both pieces with white craft foam and applied to a cream panel then this was applied to an A2 white card base.

I stamped the Picnic Buddies stamp set and coloured with Copic markers.  Pig - YR02, E95, E01, E00, W3, W1.  White Goose - E50, E41, E40, YR07, YR04, Y38.  Blue - B24, B32.  I added a design to the tea set and shadowed white areas with C5, C3, C1, C00.

I backed the image with foam tape and applied to the background and I stamped a sentiment strip with a sentiment from Friendly Warm Wishes Sentiment Set.  This too was added with foam tape.

I completed the card with some highlighting on the image with a white gel pen and the addition of some tiny sparkling clearly sequins

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Check out the new release, there is MUCH to love from different illustrators.  I'll be back very soon with something new for this release.

Simon Says Stamp - Friend Like You NEW RELEASE!!!

 

So excited to reveal my first card today for Simon Says Stamp's brand new June release called 'Friend Like You' and which is now available for puchase.  This card features the new Adrift Air Balloons Embossing Folder & Cutting Die, Nuvelli Script Thank You Die and the super useful A2 Frames Die Set which is available for pre-order.

I took a pale blue panel of cardstock and I spritzed it with water before running it through my Big Shot using the Adrift Air Balloon embossing folder.  I came in with a little Salvaged Patina and worked it between the embossed balloons and then spattered on white acrylic paint.

I ran the embossing folder through my Big Shot once more using white cardstock this time and I die cut the three balloons.

I trimmed the blue background panel down a little and adhered it to a white card base.  I used the second to largest die from the A2 Frames die set and created a frame from white cardstock which I glued in place.

Using more white cardstock, I die cut the Nuvelli Script Thank you three times over and I glued the words in stacks, then to the background.

To finish things up, I ink blended the three die cut balloons.  I backed them with foam tape and applied to the background.  I also highlighted with a white gel pen.

A few pearly white sequins in different sizes were added to finish things up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh - Beach Fun!

 

Hello there and thanks for joining me on my blog today for my final card for Pretty Pink Posh's June release.  My card today features the new Beach Fun stamp sets which of course has coordinating dies.

I started by taking a panel of white cardstock and I used masking tape and Distress Oxide Inks in Salvaged Patin (sky), Salty Ocean (water) and Tea Dye (sand) to create a subtle beach appearance.

I glued this background to  my card base and then I found a white die cut frame in my stash that was left over from another project but which in this application, creates a simple focal point.  I glued it in place.

I stamped some of the images from 'Beach Fun' in black ink and I coloured with Copic markers:-

Red - R39, R29, R2, R24, R05

Blue - B24, B23, B32, B21

White - C3, C1, C0, C00

I highlighted with a white gel pen and backed each element with foam tape and applied to the background.

I finished the card simply with the addition of a few sparkling clear sequins and I stamped and applied the sentiment.

Many thanks for coming over to read about this card.  Happy crafting friends!

Pretty Pink Posh - Seashell Border

 

Welcome to my blog and a new card for Pretty Pink Posh that uses products from their fun June release.  In creating this card I have used the following products:-

Seashell Border Die

Sandcastle Shaker Die

Seashells stamp set (sentiment)

I took a panel of white cardstock and over this I glued die cuts created using the new Seashell Border Die and which I had ink blended using, Tea Dye, Saltwater Taffy, Salvaged Patine, Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks.

I framed out the pretty background with a white die cut frame that was created using a die from my stash. This was applied with foam tape.

I next die cut white cardstock using one of the dies from the Sandcastle Shaker Die and I ink blended with Salvaged Patina to give it it's minty colour and I applied with foam tape.

Around the sandcastle I added shells and a starfish from the Seashell Border Die which along with the borders has individual dies too.  I adhered these in place with foam tape.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiments from the Seashells stamp set, I die cut the main sentiment and both were applied with more foam tape.

A few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes completed this cheerful beachy card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pretty Pink Posh - Seashell Shaker Card

Seashell Shaker Die

Shell Background Stencil

Seashells Stamp Set (sentiment & die)

Beach Town Mix

To kick things off I took a white panel of cardstock and I used to nesting rectangles dies from my stash to create the 2 part frame.  I used the same dies with mint cardstock to create the skinny mint border.  I glued the two part frame to the card base and then with the main panel I used the Shell Background Stencil to ink blend the design.  I used Salty Ocean, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks to do this and I used a lighter touch as worked towards to the top right hand corner.

I used the Seashell Shaker die to create the shaker unit.  I ink blended the background die cut with Cracked Pistachio and then I filled with it with the Beach Town Mix before sealing the formed shaker.  I glued this to the background at an angle.

I stamped and die cut the sentiment from the Seashells Stamp Set.  I applied this with foam tape to pop it up and then the simple finishing touch was the addition of a few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes.

Thanks for coming by - happy crafting!
