Stenciled Sunset Beach Card

Hey friends, I'm back with a card featuring a new layered stencil set from Erin Lee Creative. The set is called Sunset Beach and is an 8 piece layered stencil set. You can go so many different directions with this set, using as many colors or as little color as you want. Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable shopping supply list at the end of this post, as well.

These stencils measure 6x6 inches and create a border around the stenciled edges. They also have the numbers etched, 1 thru 8 onto the stencils for those who like to ink blend in order. I definitely love that feature.

I chose to trim my stenciled card panel down to just under A2 size to adhere to my A2 white card.

I used my blender brushes with a mix of brand inks and I'll break those down for you below:

Ocean: Catherine Pooler Inks -  Aquatini, Minted, Cummerbund

Sand: Ranger Ink Distress Oxide Ink Vintage Photo

Sky: Catherine Pooler Inks - Catching Rays, Orange Twist, Cotton Candy, 

Drive In, Pucker Up, Sixteen Candles, Daydream

Sun - Catherine Pooler Coral Cabana

I also went in with a blender brush and softened up some of the deeper colors with a little white pigment ink.

For my heat embossed sentiment, I ink blended on white cardstock with some leftover Vintage Photo ink on my blender brush, then heat embossed a sentiment from the ELC "Written in the Stars" stamp, with Ranger super fine Copper embossing powder. I fussy cut around the sentiment to give it a die cut look, then popped it up on adhesive foam strips.

To create the sea, sand and sky paint splatters, I mixed some Spellbinders Splatter White with a touch of water and splattered it about with a paintbrush. Lastly, I used my white gel pen to outline a bit more of the sea, and a brown Copic marker to embellish the sand.

I absolutely love getting inky, and the sky's the limit with this stencil set! Erin also added some really great beach sentiments to the shop as well, be sure and check them out!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I've provided convenient affiliate links below, at no additional cost to you, if you decide to shop. Have a great day!

Christmas Wishes Card for Scrapbook.com

Hello lovelies! I'm sharing this Christmas card for an Instagram Parade collaboration with Scrapbook.com and Wow Embossing. I'm thrilled to be featuring exclusive Scrapbook.com brand products and some amazing embossing products from Wow, as well! Wow is a UK based company and recently became one of the new brands offered on the site, for which I am thrilled.

I'd love for you to hop over to my Instagram and leave a little love. Stop by the Scrapbookcom Instagram page too!. The Parade goes live at 11:00 am ET today, Nov. 29th. I have some creative details to share with you below, as well as affiliate product links at the end of this post, if you'd like to do some shopping or look around.

 Scrapbook.com kindly sent me some of the products that I'm creating with today. When I saw the Christmas Trees stamp set, I immediately had an idea to create a little scene with a sloped, snowy hillside and frozen pond.

I was going to make a mini-slimline card but decided to go a little larger for more open white space. This card and card panel measures 6x4 inches.

I trimmed my white card panel with my ergonomic scissors from Scrapbook.com, going in a sloped design from right to left. These scissors are so comfy and easy to use. I deal with arthritis in my hands in colder weather and I really appreciate the ease of use.

For the top section of my trimmed card panel, I did some ink blending with Catherine Pooler ink called, On The Lake. This section was adhered directly onto the top of my white card.

For my "frozen pond" I trimmed the silver holographic paper from the Holographic paper pad in a more wavy pattern. This was adhered directly onto the bottom of my trimmed snowy slope.

I applied adhesive foam tape to this section and set it aside.

 Did you know Wow Embossing has bottled embossing mixed media liquid that you can brush on? I had no idea! It's amazing stuff. For my Christmas Trees, I swiped my Catherine Pooler Ink in Sea Breeze across my white Neenah cardstock.

Next, I brushed the embossing mixed media liquid onto the Scribbly tree stamp that was mounted on my Misti stamp positioner, and stamped directly onto my ink swiped cardstock. I sprinkled on Wow's Verdant embossing powder which is a mix of green and gold powders, and heat embossed four stamped trees. The combination of green and gold is stunning!

Keep in mind, this liquid lends itself to a mixed media look. If you want more precise embossing, you may wish to use a clear embossing ink pad. 

Although I had the accompanying dies for the trees, I decided to fussy cut them with my ergonomic scissors since I didn't want an outline for my trees.

I used the same Verdant embossing powder for my "Wishes" heat embossed sentiment, but this time I used my clear embossing ink pad for more precision when stamping.

For my stamped bows and the "Christmas" sentiment, I stamped again with the emboss ink pad, then heat embossed with the Wow super fine Polished Gold embossing powder. It left such a smooth finish!

Both sentiments are from the Christmas Expressions stamp set.

I also embossed some gold "ornaments" for my tree. I used the small circle die included with the Christmas Trees die set, cut with my Platinum 6 and Magic Mat. I dabbed on some of the embossing liquid and heat embossed with more of the Wow Polished Gold embossing powder. This is when my fine tip ergonomic reverse tweezers came in handy.

To adhere my ornaments and bows (also stamped, die cut and gold embossed) to the trees, I used my exclusive Scrapbook.com brand Artis Glue. This stuff is amazing and comes with different sized tips and a pin to keep clogging at bay.

Two of my trees are adhered directly to my card, and the other two are popped up on adhesive foam, and placed near the top section of my sloped snowy hillside that was adhered to the lower section of my card..

I'm so happy you stopped in today. If you'd like more details or pricing on any of the products that I created with today, just click my affiliate links below.

I hope you have a great day!

Terri
