The Sweetest Honeysuckle

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio! I’m so glad you are here today!

Altenew AECP…

I’m so happy to be back again with another wonderful project (AECP Layering 2:2) for the Altenew’s Educator Program!

Today I’m working on layering another fabulously beautiful set from Altenew for “The Sweetest Honeysuckle” mini slimline card.

Build A Flower…

Today I’m working with a GEORGEOUS Stamp Bundle, “Build A Flower: Honeysuckle Layering Stamp Set”

Color Palette…

I decided to work with a softer color palette using Altenew‘s Crisp Dye Inks for my card today!

I started off by stamping the outlines with black crisp dye ink and then built up my flowers layers with “Pink Diamond” & “Orange Sorbet Crisp Dye Inks”. Then I die cut the honeysuckles with the coordinating die from that stamp set.

Once my flowers were stamped, I stamped some leaves and flower buds, also from the “Build a Flower: Honeysuckle Layering Stamp Set” with “Frayed Leaf” & “Forest Glades” on to a piece of white cardstock and cut the cardstock using a mini slimline die.

Stenciling…

For my background, I masked my stamped flower buds and leaves and then blended distress inks using Altenew‘s halftone circle stencil on the background.

Card Base…

For the base of my card, I die cut another piece of white cardstock, and a larger piece of Kraft cardstock, using the mini slimline die, to layer beneath my stamped piece.

Thanks…

For my sentiment, I die cut a beautiful Fancy “Thanks” Sentiment from black cardstock

Putting it All Together…

I attached the white cardstock die cut to the larger piece of Kraft cardstock. Then I attached my stamped/stenciled panel with double-sided adhesive. Then I placed my die cut honeysuckles on top of the stamped panel and added a few beautiful black and gold sequins for my finishing touches.

And with that, my card was finished.

I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Beautiful using Altenew.

I’m sure you will be able to find something in their store to spark your creativity!

Mimsy & Everly

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a sweet friendship card!

Mimsy & Everly…

So, for my card today, I am using the adorable duo, “Mimsy & Everly”, one of my digi stamps from my Digi Doodle Studios and the flower elements from “Bumble Garden” Pairables Digi Stamp Set.

Coloring…

I sized, printed and cut my images out with my die cutting machine. Then I colored them with Copic Markers (full supply list below)

Background…

For my background, I decided to color blend and stencil using oxide inks.

Once I blended my colors and finished the stenciling, I sprayed my background with water droplets and set it aside to dry.

In the Meantime…

While I was waiting for my background to dry, I die cut a couple of super cute, stitched scallop frames.

If Friends were Flowers…

I printed my sentiment, “If Friends were Flowers, I would Pick You”, from Digi Doodle Studios “Budding Friends”.

Then I cut it out using a stitched banner die.

Card Base…

I thought about bringing more color out around the stitched frames, but I didn’t want to detract from my image or blended background, so I simply cut and folded a piece of white cardstock and attached it behind my frames.

Putting it All Together…

So now that my blended background was dry, I splattered it with drops of white ink and attached the stitched frames over it.

Then I attached my images and sentiment strip with double-sided adhesive.

I added a few glitter dots and my friendship card was finished.

I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Happy Crafting…

Beary Happy Wishes

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a sweet card I created using Ink n’ Splatter Clear Stamps

Beary Wishes…

You may have already noticed this card sample in Ink n’ Splatter, but I haven’t had a moment to blog about it until now.

So, for this sweet card, I used “Beary Wishes” Stamp Set and coordinating Die.

With 4 adorable cuddly bears, several coordinating elements, and 7 bear inspired sentiments, this set brings many creative possibilities all year round.

Coloring…

I stamped these lovable bears on white marker paper with black hybrid ink, colored them with Copic Markers (full supply list below),

cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them aside to work on my background.

Background…

For my background, I die cut a stitched rectangle and stenciled in some clouds along the top portion using distress inks.

On the lower portion of my stitched panel, I layed in some grass using Copic markers, but left a white space at the very bottom to stamp my sentiment.

Sending You Beary Happy Wishes…

For my sentiment, I chose “Sending You Beary Happy Wishes” from the Beary Wishes Stamp Set and stamped it with black hybrid ink on the lower right portion of my stitched panel.

Card Base…

For my card base, I cut and folded a piece of Kraft cardstock and attached a piece of pink cardstock on the front of the card.

Then I die cut a piece of Ink n’ Splatter pattern paper to fit my background panel and attached them using double-sided adhesive.

I also die cut a super cute fence from white cardstock and placed it, and my bears, in the center of my background scene with foam adhesive.

Pattern Flowers…

I die cut some flowers from the same pattern paper as I used for my card panel and dotted their centers with small beads.

Because my card is an A2, I didn’t want to clutter my design, so I only used one of the flowers on the upper left corner of my card. I also cut a few thin pattern paper strips, curled them and attached them under my flower.

I added a few enamel dots beside my sentiment and my card was finished.

I hope I have inspired you to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

We would love for you to join us in sharing your DDS and INS inspiration projects, on all your social media platforms, using Ink n’ Splatter products.

All of Me Loves All of You

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a super loving slimline card in keeping with the Love and Friendship theme that surrounds the month February.

Bunnie Dew…

For this card, I chose to work with Digi Doodle Studios precious “Bunnie Dew” Digi Stamp.

I couldn’t resist! I mean who doesn’t love bunnies?!

Side Note: Digi Stamps are a great option for paper crafters who like to resize their images to fit their projects…not to mention the storage of digis are effortless. They can easily be stored in folders on computers or external drives, etc…

So Let’s Get Started…

To begin, I sized, printed, and cut my images using my die cutting machine. I also used the flower elements from Digi Doodle Studios “Bumble Garden” Pairables Digi Stamp Set

Then I colored this little furry adorb, and the daisies, using Copic Sketch Markers (full supply list below)

Slimlines & Stitches…

I die cut a couple of stitched mini slimlines, from white cardstock, for part of my base.

Background…

I cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using a beautiful blossom embossing folder.

I wanted to dress up both of my backgrounds a little, so I decided to use Ink n’ Splatter “Honey Bee Sweet” Paper Pack for the larger slimline…

All of Me Loves All of You…

I printed my sentiment “All of Me Loves All of You” from the “Digi Doodle Studios “Love n’ Hugs” Sentiment Collection and cut it out using a stitched circle die.

Putting it All Together…

I cut a piece of Kraft Cardstock using a deckle trimmer for the main base of my card and attached my larger, white cardstock slimline and then attached the pattern paper on top of that with double-sided foam.

Then I attached my watercolor, embossed slimline on top of the pattern paper panel with double-sided foam.

Once my base layers were in place, I attached “Bunnie Dew” and the daisies, to the lower portion of my slimline with double-sided adhesive.

Then my sentiment on a piece of die cut pattern paper, attached it to the upper left corner of my card and finished it off with a few glitter dots.

And with that, my loving slimline card was finished!

I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.

Everything Will Bee OK

Hello Friends!

Welcome back to my Studio!

Today I am sharing a sweet card from one of Digi Doodle Studios New February Release!

Bumble Garden…

I created this card using Digi Doodle Studios “Bumble Garden” Digi Stamp set. This set is so sweet! It features 4 adorable Bumble Bee images, several bumble bee elements, and Bee related sentiments to spark your creativity for many different occasions.

So Let’s Get Started…

To begin, I sized, printed, and cut my image using my die cutting machine.

Then I colored these little sweeties using Copic Sketch Markers.

Slimlines & Stitches…

I die cut a couple of stitched mini slimlines, from white cardstock, for part of my base.

Background…

I wanted to dress up both of my backgrounds a little, so I decided to use Ink n’ Splatter “Honey Bee Sweet” Paper Pack for the larger slimline…

…and watercolors for the top slimline.

Everything will be Ok…

I printed my sentiment “Everything will be Ok” from the “Bumble Garden” Pairables Digi Stamp Set and cut it out using a stitched banner die.

Putting it All Together…

I cut a piece of Kraft Cardstock using a deckle trimmer for the main base of my card and attached my larger slimline with pattern paper. Then I attached my water colored slimline on top of the pattern paper panel with double-sided foam.

I attached the Bumble Bees, Beehive and Daisies using double sided adhesive to the background panels.

Then I attached my sentiment towards the lower middle of my car, on a slant.

I added a few enamel dots, some ink splatters, and my card was finished!

I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.
