To make my card I ink blended distress oxides through the Mid Century Modern Stencil on white cardstock using these awesome new Bitty Bunny Blending Brushes. Ink used: Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, and Wilted Violet.

Next, I smooshed some ink on an acrylic block, spritzed it with water and flicked it onto the cardstock to make the splatters. I die cut the Hello shadow die out of white cardstock and the word Hello die cut out of black eclipse cardstock. I adhered them together, added foam tape to Hello and attached it to the stenciled panel. I layered the stenciled panel to a piece of Eclipse Black cardstock and then to a white card base. 

To finish the card, I stamped the word "Gorgeous" from the matching Hello stamp set on a strip of white cardstock. I layered it on an Eclipse Black cardstock strip and added foam tape to add dimension. This was a real fun card to make and pretty easy to put together!

I love when I can get two for one when I make my cards. I used a piece of rose cardstock from my stash and blended Catherine Pooler Party Dress ink through the Mid Century Modern Stencil. Then I die cut a heart out of the center of it. I saved the heart for the next card. Next, I used the ink that was left on the Bitty Bunny blending brush to blend through the Mid Century Modern stencil on white cardstock to have in the background of the shaker part of the card. I adhered acetate to the panel with the heart cut out and added sequins to make it a shaker. I popped the rose colored panel up on foam tape and adhered it to the white base.  

To die cut the "Happy" die in a rainbow design, I cut colored pieces of cardstock in 1/4 inch strips. Then, I adhered them in rainbow order to a piece of printer paper (so it isn't too thick). I did not cut the metal Happy die layers apart so I could make sure everything lined up nicely. Once I die cut the word out, I put the positive image of the "happy" die cut to the side for the second card. I adhered the negative image from the "happy" die cut to the acetate. To finish the card, I used the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool on black cardstock to prevent excess embossing powder from getting all over when I embossed the sentiment from the "Happy" stamp set. 

To make this card, I ink blended the ink that was left on my Bitty Bunny blending brush through the Mid Century Modern stencil on a white card base. Then I popped the heart from the last card up on foam tape and adhered it to the card base. I glued the "Happy" word I had die cut from the last card to the heart. To finish this card, I used the Cottontail Embossing Powder tool on black cardstock again to get a nice clear sentiment from the "Happy" stamp set embossed on the cardstock. I just LOVE the font of these dies. 

I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Happiness is Cotton Candy! {Maker Forte}

 Hello! I have a sweet card to share today using a couple new stamp sets from Maker Forte! I know cotton candy is one of those things (like candy corn) that you either love it or you don't, but I LOVE it! You have to admit, even if you do not love to eat it, it is SOOO fluffy and pretty! Today's card has a fun twist to add what looks a little like cotton candy on the background.

** Affiliate links are used throughout this post at no additional cost to you. This allows me to keep bringing you content. Thank you all for your support! ** 

I began by ink blending Acid Wash, Purple Rain, and Rah Rah Skirt Color Hive inks on watercolor paper. 

Next is the fun part. I took a junk plastic container and put Marshmallow paste in the three sections. Then I added Acid Wash, Purple Rain, and Rah Rah Skirt ink refills in each of the sections.

I mixed them up and spread them over the Maker Forte Tessa Dots stencil. 

Once I had all of the holes of the Tessa Dots stencil filled, I carefully removed the stencil and dropped it in a bucket of water so the paste wouldn't dry on my stencil. Then, I heated it with my heat gun to see it poof up!

I love the way it looks all puffed up. Some of it will peel off and you can see more of the colored puffed marshmallow paste. (as you can see in the finished card). 

Next, I stamped three Cotton candy images from the Candy Floss Dreams stamp set on a piece of Ultra White cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I added a face to the middle cotton candy from the S'mores Sentiments Stamp set. I just adore the faces in the S'mores Sentiments set which is a collaboration between Jess Francisco and Maker Forte. Then, I embossed the sentiment using Color Hive Clear Embossing ink on a strip of Eclipse Black cardstock. 

I added foam tape to the marshmallow paste panel, the sentiment and the cotton candy panel. Finally, I assembled the layers to an Ultra White card base. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Bugs and more Bugs! {Brutus Monroe}

 The August Subscription box for @Brutus Monroe is called Butterfly Wishes. I love that the box has beetles and other bugs in the stamp set and coordinating dies. I do not have the opportunity to make many boy/masculine cards, but when I saw this set, I immediately thought of making this card. 

This was a pretty easy card to make. I stamped all of the bugs on white cardstock using my Misti. Then I cleaned them and arranged them sideways to fill the missing spots on the cardstock. I colored them in with Copics and stamped the center bug on a piece of cardstock and die cut him. I colored him in and popped him up on foam tape. Then, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock then layered it on a strip of black cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the panel then adhered the bug with the foam tape to the center of the card. I layered the panel on the gold glitter cardstock that came in the kit and then on a black card base.  Easy peasy!

Craft, Cocktails and Cards with some sparkle! {Using a 6x6 stencil on a slimline card}

 Hello crafty friends! Today, I have a sparkly slimline card to share with you! I used the Jess Francisco and Maker Forte collaboration “Take a Sip” Stamp Set along with the new Vintage Vines square stencil. 

** Affiliate links are used throughout this post at no additional cost to you. This allows me to keep bringing you content. Thank you all for your support! ** 

To make this card, I started out by blending Pop Art color hive ink through the Vintage Vines stencil. Since it is a square stencil, I needed to block the bottom of the card from getting ink overflow when I was blending. To do this, I placed a post it note at the bottom.

Then, I flipped the stencil upside down and matched it up with the bottom stenciled part. I used the post it note to protect the part that was already ink blended. 

Once I had the whole panel covered with the stencil, I repeated the process with Gina K glitter gel. Once I finished the top half of the panel with Glitter Gel, I put the card panel to the side to completely dry. Otherwise, the gel will stick to the post it note and it will rip off the card when I add the bottom half of the glitter gel. When the gel was dry, I finished the bottom half of the panel with the gel. Then, put it to the side to dry.

Next, I stamped two images from the Take a Sip stamp set using Eclipse Black ink. I colored them in and fussy cut them. Then, I foiled one of the sentiments from the Sip Happens sentiments with Gina K Mango Fancy Foil. I cut a piece of Welsh Dragon cardstock to 3 5/8″ x 8 3/8″ to mat under the stenciled panel. I added foam tape to adhere it to an Ultra White card base cut to 8 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ and scored at 3 3/4″. 

To finish the card, I popped the images and sentiment up on foam tape. Then, I adhered them to the card. Lastly, I added Before the Storm and Solar Flair Crown Jewel Gems using the Rainbow Gem Picker.

Too Sweet to be Scary! {The Rabbit Hole Designs}

 Hello! I have a card to share using The Rabbit Hole Designs new Halloween Cupcake stamp set and Cat Eye stencil! I just love this stamp! Halloween desserts are always so much fun. 

** Affiliate links are used throughout this post at no additional cost to you. This allows me to keep bringing you content. Thank you all for your support! ** 

To make this card, I began blending the Wilted Violet and Twisted Citron distress oxide ink through the Cat Eye Stencil. Then, I cleaned off the ink from the stencil, lined it back up again and spread glitter paste over the stencil. While I waited for it to dry, I stamped the cupcake and spiders using the Halloween Cupcake stamp set. Then I colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out. There are matching Halloween Cupcake Dies. 

Next, I began assembling the card. I used foam tape to adhere the stenciled panel to the black card base. Then, I glued a black oval and a vellum spiderweb that I had in my stash to the card. I added foam tape to the cupcake image to pop it up on the card and glued the spiders around the web. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and layered it on a strip of purple. Lastly, I added the sentiment to the card using foam tape. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Picnic Pal Treat and Tag {Brutus Monroe}

 I have a second project to share with you today! This treat box and tag were made using the stamps and dies from the Brutus Monroe Picnic Pals Subscription kit along with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box Die. 

I started out by cutting Kraft cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat box die. Then I cut an extra "side" to use for the tag.

Using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box die, cut these two pieces from Kraft cardstock for the tag.

 This is how you need to cut these pieces to make the tag.

Next, I blended Salvaged Patina through the Brutus Monroe Basket Weave stencil and glued on the scalloped top to the tag. 

Next, I stamped the box pieces with the images from the picnic pal stamp set in the kit. 

I colored in the images with Copics and adhered the box together.

Next, I stamped and die cut the sun. I colored it in and added it to the tag using foam tape. To finish the tag, I cut a sentiment from the sentiment strips in the kit and adhered them to the tag. To attach the tag to the box I used the ribbon in the kit. I cut it down the middle to make it just a little thinner. The ribbon will fray if you do not treat it with something to keep that from happening. I didn't because I don't mind the little fraying on it. You could tie a bow with a full piece of ribbon and attach it to the tag. Then, use twine to attach the tag to the box if you do not want the fraying. 

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful Friday!!!

Hello Fall with a Stenciled Background {The Hedgehog Hollow}

 Hello crafty friends! I would like to share with you how I made this card using The Hedgehog Hollow subscription box for this month. One of my favorite things in this box is the layering stencils. I love how easy they are to use. 

To make this card, I started out by blending Yellowstone Color Hive ink and Antique Linen distress oxide ink through the first layer. Then, Frayed Burlap distress oxide and Outrageous Color Hive ink through the second layer. Finally, I used Palm Tree Color Hive ink with the last stencil. 

To finish the panel, I blended Antique Linen distress oxide ink around the perimeter of the card panel and added splatters.

To make the splatters on the card panel, I inked up and acrylic block and spritzed it with a little water. Then, I mixed the ink and water together with a small paint brush. Using the paint brush against my acrylic block, I flicked the paint onto the panel. I repeated this process using Antique Linen distress oxide. 

Next, I stamped the coffee image from the kit on Ultra White cardstock two times using Eclipse Black Ink and fussy cut them out. I colored them with Copic Markers and adhered them to the card. The second cup of coffee was popped up with foam tape for little dimension. I used a sentiment from the Jess Francisco All Seasons paper pack. Then, added Solar Flair Crown Jewel Gems with my Rainbow Gem Pick. 

To finish the card, I added foam tape and adhered it to a brown card base I had in my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
