Easter Card featuring Erin Lee Creative

I am sooo excited about the new release from Erin Lee Creative! It's called True Story and there are so many wonderful products in this release. Religious cards are some of my most favorite cards to make and I definitely needed some of these products in my life. Scroll down for a quick run down on the products that I used.  You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

When I saw the True Story stamp set and that amazing Calvary Die, the exact scene below popped into my head. I wanted to create a beautiful sunset (or sunrise) sky backdrop for the Calvary Die. 

Ranger distress oxide inks are my go-to for this and I used my blender brushes with Kitsch Flamingo, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade on 80 lb Neenah white cardstock.

. When I initially cut my cross die, I laid down a wide strip of Mint Tape on top of a section of black cardstock where the curve would be cut. Once my cross dies were cut, I peeled off the mint tape which now has a slope design, and adhered it to my card panel to use as a mask for ink blending above the curve.  So easy, really. And mess free! Well, mostly mess free, haha.

Another product that helped create the scene I had in mind is the Burst Hot Foil Die. I recently discovered that you can easily hot foil on top of distress oxide ink. All you have to do is heat set your ink blending with a craft heat tool for about 30 seconds, to make sure it's dry before hot foiling. I use my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System for all my hot foiling. It's one of my favorite tools and works so nicely with Erin Lee Creative products. I know, I sound like a commercial but hey, I can't help what I love!

I kept my scenic card pretty simple, with no additional adornment. You really don't need it because the foil is so sparkly and shiny.  

Now, the True Story stamp set has already sold out and been re-stocked twice! I understand that Erin has more on the way so, not to worry. I'm just so happy that this release has not only touched the hearts of cardmakers, but will also touch the hearts of the recipients. HE'S alive! Happy Easter and thanks so much for popping in today! 

Terri

Watercoloring is my absolute favorite technique. It really is so easy and if you've never tried to watercolor, you don't know what you're missing! Don't be intimidated, give it a try! I've had my Altenew pan watercolors for awhile and they have been well loved and worth every penny!

Timeless Tulips Stamp Set
from: Altenew

Look for the short process reel on my Instagram page that will go live later today, featuring the card above created with my Altenew pan watercolors, the Timeless Tulip stamp set, 3D Window Slats Embossing Folder and more.

About this card: I wanted to create an indoor scene, as if the tulips were lying on a counter or table next to a window with closed blinds. Yeah, that's how my mind works, haha! I'm definitely feeling Spring vibes though. If you're not into fussy cutting (as featured on my reel), the stamp set also comes as a bundle with dies.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by Instagram and enter the giveaway on my reel which will be live at approximately 9 am CST. More details including giveaway terms will be on the reel description. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

Shamrock Good Luck Card

Hello friends. I'm getting in touch with my Irish roots with this shamrock card today. Plus, it's National Craft Month which gives me a good excuse to break out my Brother Crafts Scan n Cut to create the images for this card. I'm also using products from Scrapbook.com Scroll down for brief creative details. You'll find products linked at the end of this post as well.

I purchased my Scan N Cut a  few years ago, as a Christmas gift to myself. It's been one of the most loved tools in my arsenal. I typically cut most of my images on a blade setting of 6 for lightweight cardstock. I also generally work offline so this image is one of the standard images included in my machine's storage. No need to get on the internet! I scaled down my image to the smallest size which was about 1.5" or less and added 9 images. I touched the screen to drag the images where I wanted them and then cut.

I also used my negative template to easily line up my shamrocks on my card, popping each one of them up with a small adhesive foam square.

My sentiment was created using a Scrapbookcom exclusive stamp set called Vintage Type Upper. I used my Misti stamp positioner to stamp one letter at a time on white cardstock to spell "Good Luck". It helps to lay down a piece of low tack tape on the cardstock, such as mint tape, to easily line up your letters evenly. My solid papers are from a variety of Scrapbookcom paper pads (Jewel and Floral) and the gingham plaid was from my stash. Here's a link for you to scroll, if you'd like to check out the current gingham 6x6 paper pads offered at Scrapbookcom: Click Here

I thought this card would be great for other occasions, not typical of St. Patrick's Day; graduations and retirements came to mind.

I shared a short reel on my Instagram and TikTOK, featuring this card. I hope you'll follow me on those sites, if you're not already!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Terri
