Rainbow Thank You

Today on my blog I am featuring the  Thank You with Shadow dies by Kat Scrappiness.

I am really in love with these dies because you can make an entire card with just the dies. For this card I just made a really cool rainbow background and the cut the Thank You out of black paper minus the shadow layer and placed it on top.  I think it makes a great card and it comes together super quickly!

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Peacock Backdrop Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with a card using some old and new products from the KS store! I made a thank you card because you can never have too many of those! One of my favorite techniques is ink blending and especially in rainbow colors! I just love to make an ink blended rainbow and then cut a pattern out of it.  Here's the short and sweet on how I made my card.

I started with a base of Bristol Smooth cardstock and did some ink blending with some Distress inks in rainbow colors.  I die cut the rainbow panel using the Peacock Backdrop Die. I love how the peacock pattern showed up really well through the rainbow colors!

I cut the rainbow panel down to a smaller rectangle size so I could layer it on to another piece of cardstock.  I embossed another panel with some larger polka dots and adhered the rainbow panel to that.

The last step was to die cut the Thank You Brush Script Word Die out of white paper and lay that on top of the rainbow panel. I decorated the entire card with Pink Heart Droplets, Blue Heart Droplets

and White Jewels for some extra sparkle!

Here's another pic with all of the supplies pictured:

I love how this card came out and I love the pattern in the Peacock Backdrop Die! I hope this gave you some new ideas about using your cover dies!

Butterfly Thank You Card

Good morning everyone! Today I have a card for you featuring 2 different i-Crafter sets from the February release.  The first one is the Love Bug dies:

Love Bugs

And the second one is the Pop Up Wiper Insert dies:

Pop Up Wiper Insert

For the base of my card I took a piece of heavy white cardstock and cut it to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" and then I scored it using the Scor-Pal tool horizontally every 1/2" to give the look of an embossed panel wall.  Once the scoring was done I ran the outside edge of that same panel along the Ranger Watermark Resist ink pad and then sprinkled with Hero Arts Silver embossing powder and heated it until it was smooth and melted. I adhered this panel directly to my top folding card base that was the same size.

Next I did some additional heat embossing with Hero Arts Silver embossing powder along the bottom half of a white panel of cardstock. After I heated the powder I lined up the "thanks" die from the Pop Up Wiper Insert dies half on and half off the embossing and ran it through my die cut machine.  The result was a word die that was only embossed with silver powder along the bottom half of the word.

For my sweet butterfly I used one of the dies from the Love Bugs die set and cut out all of the pieces from Tonic glitter paper in Opulant Orchid and Sugar Crystal for some extra sparkle.  I used foam tape to pop up the butterfly and made sure to press the wings upward to give some dimension. I affixed the butterfly just above the T in Thanks and my card was complete.

Peonies in Gold

Welcome back to my blog! I am up on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog today and I have 2 cards to share with you using the new release Pretty in Peony stamp set.

Did you ever have an idea in your head for a card and when you actually sat down to make it,  you couldn't make it look like the picture in your head?   It always amazes me when that happens because I see it so clearly yet I just can't reproduce it.  It is very frustrating and sometimes I wind up creating something different but still very beautiful.  This was one of those times.  These 2 cards started off as an idea to have very bright flowers pop against a very stark black background.  Although I like how they came out, they started out very different in my head! 

Card Recipes

• I began by stamping the peonies in clear versamark ink on watercolor paper and heat embossing them in gold.  

• Next I took my Zig clean color markers and did some quick coloring with 2 colors for the flowers and 2 colors for the greenery.  

• Once I had the color down, I took a small wet paintbrush to move the color around for a loose watercolored look.  What a therapeutic technique!

• I took the flowers and leaves over to my scan n cut and cut them all out.

• I prepped 2 card bases in black, both with a Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die. One rectangle I embossed with a diagonal striped embossing folder.

• For the sentiments, on the first card I used a Thank You die from my stash and cut it out in gold glitter paper to match the outline of the flowers. On the second card I stamped a sentiment from the set in clear versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold on to a small scalloped rectangle.

• I popped the some of the flowers up on foam tape to give them some dimension.

Thank you so much for joining me today on the blog.  I hope you have enjoyed my cards and make sure to check out all of the brand new items in the shop! The Rabbit Hole Designs has just added 5 fun new dies to their inventory and you're going to want to check them out!

Happy Little Stampers April Watercolour Challenge

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to another Watercolour challenge

over at the Happy Little Stampers blog!

This month the theme is anything goes with an optional "Bright" twist.
Here is my card for this month.

After I made my card I realized that the twist this month was Bright.
Since I loved my card so much I decided to use it anyway.
It's not very bright but I do love the muted colors.

I used some gorgeous watercolor flowers from a fabulous 

website called Angie Makes.

She has some free clipart as well as some beautiful watercolor

clipart for sale.  I printed that beautiful flower out and cut it out

with my scan and cut.

I layered it on to some pretty gingham paper from Papertrey Ink

and a Stitched Hex Tag die from Reverse Confetti.

The Thank You word die is from Heidi Swapp.

Watercoloring is one of my loves but I'm not always very good

at it.  Using the pre-painted flowers is a fun way to still get that

whimsical look on your cards!

Come join us for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge this month!

We want to see your watercolor projects.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get some free crafty time today!

Have a great day, I already am!
