Stenciled Spring Card for Scrapbook.com and the Creative Kindness Foundation

Hello crafty friends. I'm back to showcase another card for Scrapbook.com and the Creative Kindness Foundation fundraiser event. The goal for this fundraiser is $75,000 and as of this writing, it currently sits just over $29,000. There's only 5 days left to help them reach their goal. In exchange for your $50 or more donation, you will received the Spring Flutter Donation Bundle, pictured further down.

I'm getting super colorful today with the stencil included in the donation bundle, paired with the random colored cardstock included in the kit, Summer Peach. Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable supply list at the end, if you see something you'd like for yourself!

Here's what you will receive in the Spring Flutter donation bundle with your $50 or more donation:

Random selected cardstock pack

A5 Stamp Set

Coordinating die set

5x5 inch stencil

6x4 inch embossing folder

I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock measuring 4.25 x 8.50 inches, as I planned to stencil both ends of the cardstock. You can quickly and easily stencil one, so why not two?

In fact, I stenciled a total of 5 to have extras on hand for when I need to make a quick card!

I stamped my sentiment using my stamp positioner. I wanted to create a one layer flat card and incorporate my sentiment seamlessly into the stenciled images.

To do this, place low tack tape over your stamped sentiment. After stenciling over my first card panel, I realized I needed a wider border, so I placed a wider strip over the next stamped sentiment, which is the card you see in the first photo. 

Next, I lined up my stencil and centered it over my masked sentiment, taping it down. I used lots of pretty Catherine Pooler Designs ink with my blender brushers, over the stencil in random sections of color. 

The colors I used are:

Coral Cabana

Aquatini

Sweetheart

Orange Twist

Tiara

Lime Rickey

As you can see, for the card above, I had a little more room to work with, drawing a border around my sentiment with a ruler and fine black liner pen.

I also placed a lot of ink splatters using the Scrapbookcom Lustre brush in the color Pacific. I shared a reel over on my Instagram with tips on how to do this, and place the larger ink dots as well.

I wanted some extra color for my card panel backing, so in addition to the Peach cardstock included in my donation kit, I picked two pretty pink colors from my Scrapbookcom A2 Classic Cardstock - Valentine and Berry.

I trimmed it so the pink peeked out just above and below my stenciled card panel. I love the extra pop of color behind the stenciling, it really helps things pop!

Speaking of Pop, I did some embellishing with my Pops of Color liquid embellishments. I used Sunflower for my primary card above. You can see where I used Orange Squeeze as well, on the finished card panel on the lower right. I also used a white gel pen to embellish some of the other elements on my card.

I had so much fun stenciling and so glad to have some extras ready in my stash. Thanks so much for stopping by. Tap any of the products in my clickable supply list to browse for more information or to shop. Thanks so much and have a fantastic day!

Ocean Waves Card for Catherine Pooler Designs

Happy Friday friends! It's the kickoff to the weekend and I am typically giddy on Fridays! I'm bringing you another project for Catherine Pooler Designs, featuring products from the Ocean Wonders collection. I'm also reaching into my stash, using other CPD products today too. I know we all love to use our stash more, right? 

But, today's card is mostly about the Oceans Wonders Patterned Paper. I adore patterned paper and today's project is guaranteed to have you whipping out a card in 15 minutes or so, depending on how fast or slow you move, haha!

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.) 

This was such a fun card to make. I love making beach cards and if it involves ripping paper, 

even better! Feeling anxious or stressed? Rip some paper!

           

First, I tore 4 different papers from the Ocean Wonders patterned paper pack. I also picked out some cardstock from my Spa Mix Assorted Cardstock. It's called Tranquil and is such a soft, pretty blue.

I trimmed some of the Tranquil cardstock, adhering my ripped papers to it. I lined up the largest scalloped die from the CPD Dots & Scallops die set and ran it through my Platinum 6 die cut machine.

Because of the way I adhered my ripped papers to the cardstock, it was thicker at the bottom, so I had to rotate and run through my Platinum 6 a couple times to get a good cut.

Next, I heat embossed my sentiment from the Beautiful Seas Sentiments stamp set. I stamped with my Cargo ink twice, using my stamp positioner, then applied Wow Embossing fine clear embossing powder, tapping off the excess before heat setting it.

I mentioned previously here on my blog that I accidentally poured some of my excess Wow Halo embossing glitter into the wrong jar. My clear embossing powder was the wrong jar, haha! So yes, it has a mix of clear and glitter embossing powder. Can you see the sparkle? Kind of a happy accident!

I wanted to keep my embellishing minimal because of all the busyness of the patterned paper. So, I grabbed some burlap string from my stash for embellishing, creating a bow as well. 

I used my heat gun to glue down the bow, and also to glue down my enamel dot in the center of the bow. Since it's not a flat surface, there's no way that enamel dot would stay put. It's ok to use your enamel dots, however the situation fits! It's called being "creative"!

For the backing to my card panel, I wanted a dark neutral color. I grabbed a sheet of my CPD Over Coffee cardstock and die cut with the largest dotted rectangle die from the Dots & Scallops die set.

That Dots & Scallops die set got a good workout for this project today!

I must say, I absolutely love all my CPD products. I especially love the new cardstocks. I highly advice you to get some if you haven't already. The Over Coffee cardstock is going to be used a LOT as well, especially for Fall and Winter projects.

And here I am, using that brown cardstock on a summer beach card. It works though because it's a neutral and I feel like it helps my summer scene to pop even more!

 

What do you think about my color pairings today? Would you or do you use brown cardstock year round? I'd love to know. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a fantastic weekend. See you next time!
