Spring Coffee -what a difference a color makes!

Hello! The Rabbit Hole Designs new release "Spring Coffee" is so beautiful for any coffee or tea lover. It is now available in the shop! I shared 2 sneak peaks during the spring summer coffee lovers hop and I just wanted to revisit them today. When I made them, I used the exact same color markers to color both cards. The first card I shared was made using Kraft cardstock. I used Neenah solar white for this one. I love how different the flowers look using the same color markers. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Now go have a cup of coffee!

Tropical State of Mind- Day 2 TRHD

 Woohoo! Day two of The Rabbit Hole Designs April release! I hope you hopped around to everyone's post yesterday. So many awesome projects to see! I just love this Tropical State of Mind set! Who else wants to be in that tropical coconut? {Me Please!}

To make this card, I used the Splash Splash stencil again. This time, I mixed Glossy Texture paste with Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon Distress refill and carefully spread it through the stencil in an oval shape. once the texture paste got tacky, I repositioned the stencil and went over it again with glossy texture paste that did not have any ink to give it the look of the waves crashing. I die cut that panel and attached it to a white card base.  I die cut some greenery from my stash and ink smooshed it then embossed it for the glossy look. Next, I stamped the image from the Tropical State of Mind stamp set on a piece of Neenah cardstock, colored it with Copics {listed below}, and die cut it out with the Tropical State of Mind Die. I arranged the greenery behind the image, popped it up on foam tape and attached it to the card. Finally, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and attached it to the top left corner. 

Copics:

Bunny: E50, E53, R11, RV13

Flower: RV13, RV17

Water: BG000, BG10

Coconut: E0000, E33, E37

Umbrella: BG000, BG10, RV00, RV13, Y11, Y13, YG23, YG25

I hope you hop along with the design team to see more ideas using this set and a chance to win prizes!

Fairy Whispers-March Hedgehog Hollow Box

Hi there! I am here with you to share this enchanting fairy card using the March 2021 Hedgehog Hollow Subscription Box. Blending the background for this was quick and easy resulting in a quick but cute card!

 

To begin, I masked off a piece of Perfect Blend cardstock with purple tape, leaving a 3" area to blend the background. The oxide inks that I used to blend were: Mustard Seed, Seedless Preserves, and Wilted Violet. After blending the inks, I rubbed it with the Wilted Violet. After blending the inks, I rubbed it with the anti static pad to reduce the extra embossing powder to stick. I stamped the fairy on the moon image with Eclipse Black reMARKable ink, then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I sprayed a little water on the top and dabbed it off with a towel to have the droplets in the ink. I originally wanted to make this a flat panel card, but I have a strange addiction to foam tape so after blending, I trimmed it down to mount on have the droplets in the ink. I originally wanted to make this a flat panel card, but I have a strange addiction to foam tape so after blending, I trimmed it down to mount on Eclipse Black cardstock. Next I attached the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock to a 4 1/8" x 5 5/8" piece of Lavender Swirl cardstock and finally a 5 1/5" x 8 1/2" 4 1/4" piece of ultra white 110 lb. cardstock scored at 4 1/4". I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the white cardstock. I added foam tape to the back of the black panel and popped it up over the sentiment. I added some sequin for bling and that is it! Super easy. You can watch me in action in this quick video showing my process. Thanks for stopping by! 

First Communion card using Maker Forte

  Hello crafty friends! Boy do I have a treat for you today... I have an adorable card to share with you featuring a beautiful stamp set from Maker Forte called "My first Communion" AND I have my first YouTube video that shows how I put this together. Be gentle...I was nervous in my 12 seconds of talking. 

I just love the shine the Maker Forte mercury Kaleidoscope Powder gives this card. I blended Pumice distress Oxide ink through the "In Bloom" Jess Francisco stencil and brushed Mercury Kaleidoscope powder over it. {I sprayed it lightly with aerosol hairspray to set the powder so it wouldn't rub off} I also stamped the sentiment with Pumice Distress Oxide ink and used the kaleidoscope powder for that as well. 

I stamped the girl using Eclipse Black re-Mark-able ink and colored her in with Copic Markers. {in the video, you can see how I added pleats to the dress with just a little color}

Dress: W1, W0, W00

Skin: E000, E00, R30-cheeks

Hair: Y32, E33, E35

I fussy cut her out and layered all of my panels together {listed in order from bottom to top}:

Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Stormy (Metallic Slate) cardstock: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

Ultra White - Heavy Weight 110lb Cover: 5 1/4" x 4"

Stormy (Metallic Slate) cardstock: 3 1/8" x 1 1/4"

Ultra White - Heavy Weight 110lb Cover: 3" x 1 1/8" {piece with sentiment}

I used foam to pop up the 5 3/" x 4 1/4" white panel on the Stormy cardstock, but in the video I put the foam on the Stormy cardstock by mistake. I like the foam on the white panel better. I also popped up the girl image and sentiment panels using foam tape. 

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your support! If you shop through any of my links, I get a small portion of the sale and that enables me send little happy mail packages to my kids in college. Have a happy crafty day!

You are Brew-ti-ful

 Hello crafty friends! I have a full sneak peek from The Rabbit Hole Designs to share with you today for our "Spring Coffee" stamp set that will be released on March 29th! I love this beautiful image designed by Tatsiana. 

I stamped the image on kraft cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. Then I painted white gesso through my "Back Alley Stencil" on a kraft cardstock panel. Once that dried, I layered it on a panel of white cardstock, popped the image up on foam tape and positioned it over the brick background. I adhered that to a kraft card base and added a few sequins for bling. Isn't his image gorgeous???

Copics used: 

Hydrangea: RV11, RV13  and Prisma pencil PC989

Peony: RV13, RV14

Leaves: YG21, YG23, YG25 

Coffee Cup: E41, E40, E81 Prisma pencil PC938

Dreams Are Magical- Hedgehog Hollow March 2021box

Hi there! I am excited to share a really fun card using "A Brush of Wings" from the March Hedgehog Hollow Box. The fairy theme this month is so exciting that I could not wait to dig in! To begin, I decided there would be clouds and spotlight blending to highlight my floating fairy on this slimline card. 
 

To spotlight the fairy, I started out with one of my Snow Flurries Perfect Blend Slimline card front panels and the center from the Slimline Oval Spotlight Stencil. I centered the oval over the panel and held it in place with magnets. This way I could move them around as I blended clouds using the VSD Slimline Clouds Stencil with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink.

Once I finished with these clouds, I moved on to the yellow clouds. This time I used the outside part of the spotlight oval stencil. Before adding the clouds, I lightly blended Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink inside the oval stencil. Then I lined up the cloud stencil with the purple clouds I already blended. I used Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink to make these clouds, lining up the cloud stencil each time I moved down the oval. 

To make my dancing fairy, I stamped the girl silhouette using my Misti Stamp platform and Color Hive Clear Glue Pad on a piece of white cardstock and embossed it with Speckled Egg embossing glaze. I knew I wanted the wings to sparkle so I mixed 1 part Holographic Moon Dust Sugar Sparkle with 2 parts clear embossing powder. Next I aligned the wing stamps around the girl on my Misti and stamped with my clear glue pad. I embossed them with the glitter embossing powder I mixed up and fussy cut the whole fairy out. I stamped the sentiment from the set in the bottom right corner with my Color Hive reMARKable Eclipse Black ink. Then I trimmed down the cloud panel and layered it on a piece of Eclipse Black Cardstock and finally on a white card base. {Layers: cloud- 8 1/4" x 3 3/4", Eclipse Black-8 3/8" x 3 7/8", white card base-8 1/2" x 8" scored at 4"} 

 

To finish off my fairy, I rolled her wings a little with my finger to make it 3D and popped her up on foam tape. Then I scattered some dew drops. I hope this inspires you to try out this spotlight technique and to try mixing some of your Sugar Sparkle with clear embossing powder to have another way to add glitter to your projects. Thanks for stopping by!

Let Your Spirit Fly!

 Hello crafty Friends! I am so excited to share my first post on the Maker Forte Design Team! I just love black and white mixed with color. I also love manipulating my images to be a little different than intended. 

I made this black and white paper background by repeatedly stamping the floral stamp from "Bless This Nest",  a Maker Forte collaboration with Jess Fracisco. I stamped the flower and hummingbird on a piece of Neenah cardstock and colored them in with Copic Markers {see below}. After I colored the flower swag, I fussy cut it and snipped it in half. I wanted the two ends to face up for the hummingbird to hover over the small hibiscus bud. They needed to have a sky behind them so I ink smooshed Hero Hues Reactive ink "Pool Party" on a piece of watercolor paper. I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it a little different than a usual flag edge. Then I layered the two pieces of the sentiment on a piece of Eclipse Black cardstock. This is what I had before I assembled my card:

I cut a 4 1/8"x 5 3/8" piece of Eclipse Black cardstock and layered it on the white card base. Then I added the black and white stamped background panel. I popped the ink smooshed piece up on foam tape and arranged the flowers. I placed the sentiment how I wanted it and popped the hummingbird up on foam tape. To finish it off, I added some Mercury Kaleidoscope powder on the hummingbird. I love the shine, but was not able to capture it on camera.   I just love that hummingbird! 

Copic markers:

Hummingbird: YG03,G24, G02, R22, R27, E50, E42, W2

Flowers: 

Lily:RV11, RV14, RV29

Hibiscus: YR000, YR00, YR01, RV11, RV29

Leaves: YG01, YG03, YG05

Come fly with me! TRHD March New Release!

 Hello! I am here to share with you a card featuring the super adorable "Come Fly With Me" stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs March release. Aren't the new releases from our new artist Tatsiana amazing??? 

I started out with cutting down a piece of blue cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4". Then I used the "Clouds in my Coffee" Stencil and blended Speckled Egg Distress Oxide over it to fill the background. I attached that to my white card base. Next I stamped The bunny image using Memento Black ink. I colored the image in with Copic markers and added a white dot to the cheeks using a white Signo pen. The Copics I used are as follows:

 

Bunny: W00, W0, R11, R30

Basket E40, E41, E43

Bow BG000, BG01, BG02, BG05

Flowers R24, R27, R29

YR4, YR7, YR9

Y13, Y15, Y17

YG13, YG17

BV01, BV02, BV04

BG01, BG02, BG05

 

I die cut the image out using the Come Fly With Me die and then I fussy cut it to remove the white border. The reason I did that was because I also cut a piece of the blue cardstock out with the die so I could layer it behind the image. Then I adhered foam tape behind it and put it on the cloud background panel. I stamped the sentiment "We rise by lifting others" on a piece of white cardstock and cut flags out of each side. I placed a skinny strip of black cardstock behind the piece with the sentiment and glued it to the balloon. I added a piece of foam tape behind the part of the sentiment that hung off the balloon. To finish it off, I added a few enamel dots from my stash. I just love how bright and cheerful this is.  

 

Thank you for stopping by!
