Blackout Inspiration Card for Erin Lee Creative

Hello my lovely friends! I'm back with another card featuring products from the new Erin Lee Creative release and testing out the blackout technique for the first time. I've also got some coupon codes! Scroll down for details.

First, let me tell you about the new Faith Over Fear stamp set. It comes with inspiring quotes and scripture but what really caught my eye was a lyric from one of my favorite contemporary Christian songs sung by CeCe Winans - Goodness of God. It's a gorgeous song, look it up! In fact, it's been in my head for days, thanks to working with this stamp set, haha!

I decided on a floral backdrop, so I chose my 3D embossing folder, Botanical Bliss, to test out my technique. This embossing folder is currently on markdown and any markdown items are 60% off when you use coupon code OCTOBER at checkout.

I first saw my crafty friend Ilda (@ilovedoingallthingscrafty) on Instagram do the blackout technique a couple months ago. I've been wanting to try it and finally made the time.

Basically, you dry emboss your cardstock (I used white), then flip your embossed cardstock over to color on the negative side. Don't color the empty space that surrounds your embossed images. I also used my OLO Markers to color. 

You don't have to be precise or worry about coloring outside the lines. This technique may work best with 3D embossing folders because of the deeper impression, but I haven't tried it on regular embossing folders so I can't be sure.

When finished coloring, grab a black ink pad and swipe it from top to bottom on your colored cardstock. I recommend you make sure your ink pad has plenty of ink. 

You can go in after adding the blackout and touch-up your coloring if needed. I also did some embellishing with a white gel pen on some of my florals and also added lots of white paint splatters.

 

For my sentiment, I stamped on white cardstock using my Misti stamp positione, then ink blended all around the the outside of the sentiment with my Catherine Pooler Cove Blue ink. Next, I went in with some Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo. I trimmed my cardstock and also a black backing and popped it up on adhesive foam strips.

Lastly, I finished off my card with some sequins and a string bow.

I've already heard that some of the items from this new release are about to sell out, so if you see something you really, really want, get it! You can stack your coupon codes and use code WAFFLE for an additional 10% off any of the new release products. Hurry, these codes won't last for long.

Daily Affirmation Card for Erin Lee Creative

There's a lot happening this week at Erin Lee Creative, starting with an early release that goes live today to email subscribers. Tomorrow, it goes live for the rest of the world! So, I'm bringing you a little early inspiration featuring 4 brand new products from ELC. Scroll for details on my "daily affirmation" card.

(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.)

 

I wanted to create a "mirror" on my card with a daily affirmation. It's so easy to allow things in our life to consume us and let's face it, there's a lot of bad news on the daily. Maybe you're struggling in some way. Maybe you're down on yourself because you lost your cool with the kids or a co-worker.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". If you're a person of Faith, then you know how important it is to stay in the Word and not let the things of this world take hold. This card serves as your reminder to look in the mirror daily, speak words of power and lift yourself up with Him who gives you strength! 

I used the frame die from the Vintage Bow Frame die set and new Rose Gold metallic cardstock with my Platinum 6 to create my "mirror". I also traced around my frame die with a pencil on vellum and trimmed along the edges, to use as an overlay for my mirror.

Next, I used my stamp positioner to stamp the sentiment below from the Faith Over Fear stamp set with black hybrid ink. It's very important to allow drying naturally or carefully heat set, making sure not to allow the vellum to buckle under the heat. I chose to air dry. I also used a dark yellow marker to color in the wings on the back side of the vellum to avoid any bleeding of colors.

You can easily smudge ink on vellum before drying so take care!

I was seriously considering heat embossing my sentiment directly on the rose gold cardstock and not having a vellum overlay. However, I was visiting my dad and not at home when I created this card and didn't have access to all my play things, haha! It can also be real tricky photographing metallics so I opted for the vellum overlay this time.

For my background, I used the new Handwriting Hot Foil Plate, Spellbinders Aura foil, and a white A2 sized card panel with my Glimmer machine and Platinum 6. I love the writing font, it's so cool and I can see a lot of great uses for it, making tags for instance.

If you'll notice in my first photo, my lighting was really bright and the Rose Gold, to me, looks a bit pink in that shot. However, you can see the true color in my photo below.  It's sooo gorgeous, let me tell you!

The die cut blooms on my card were trimmed from the ELC Jumbo Wildflower Die. I cut these dies twice, once on white cardstock and once on some colored paper from one of my paper pads. I staggered and adhered my blooms together and popped them up on adhesive foam. I also added some liquid embellishment in the center of the blooms.

I'll have another card to share with you on Oct. 4th for an Instagram blog hop that features products from the new release. Remember, if you click any of the ELC products today, you will not be able to purchase these items until tomorrow. Unless of course, you got the early release link for email subscribers!

I've product clickable affiliate product links below, if you'd like to browse or shop for any of the products that I used today. These are created at no additional cost to you. I appreciate it so much when you use my affiliate links. Thank you!

Have a great day!  Terri

Scripture Card for Scrapbook.com

Today's card features the new Faith and Scripture rub-on transfers from Scrapbook.com. Faith based cards are my favorite to make, and I've used a number of other exclusive products, including the Wildflower Branches stamp and die set. Before I forget, if you'd like to do any shopping, be sure to use coupon code SAVETEN for an additional 10% off your entire purchase. This offer expires tomorrow (1/22/23) at 11:59 pm MST!

(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.)

Rub-on's were super popular back in the day and are making a resurgence and I am all about it! They're perfect as accents on tags and for use in journaling as well.

Scrapbook.com - Faith and Scriptures - Rub-On Transfers - 6x8 - 2 Sheets

To frame my scripture verse, I colored and die cut images from the Wildflower Branches stamp and die set, coloring with Copic Markers. You'll find all the marker colors in my supply list at the end of this post. The stamp set can also be purchased separately, here. My die cuts were offset on the edge of my cardstock, then trimmed down with scissors to create that square effect. My blue backing is from the Jewels Cardstock Paper Pad.

 

I hope this card will encourage you to share your own handmade cards with a friend in need. We never know when those unexpected moments in life will happen. Be ready when it does! As always, I've provided convenient affiliate links, if you'd like to do some shopping. Don't forget the coupon code, mentioned at the top of this post! Thanks so much for stopping by!
