I did a little Googling to find a color palette that might fit with some of the marker colors I had on hand and found this gorgeous assemblage of colors, which inspired my cardmaking today. I don't often work with pre-fabricated color palettes, but chose to do so today, for the fun of it!

I started by stamping my image using a hybrid ink from Scrapbookcom called Leather. It's one of my favorites for stamping in natural tones, and it works well with either alcohol markers or watercoloring.  They're having a sale right now and coupon code HOLIDAY will get you an additional 10% off your purchase through Sunday Nov. 9th. Check out the coupon section for add-on freebies!

These are the OLO Marker colors I used:

OR1.0, O4.6, Y2.2, OR4.2, YO2.5, YO2.3, YG8.5, 02.7, OR3.4, R0.6, OR2.5, OR1.6, YG8.7

After coloring my images, I masked an area around the whipped cream with mint tape and splattered on some Pops of Color liquid embellishment in Chocolate Kiss, diluted with a bit of water. Then, I went in and added extra dots from the bottle, onto my whipped cream.

Here's a bonus tip: To get your liquid embellishments flattened so it doesn't dry with a curl, take your embellished card panel, pick it up and slap it against a hard surface like your craft table. This will flatten your liquid embellishment drops. 

For my sentiment, I did some heat embossing using Wow Embossing Powder in Verdant which is a mix of gold and green colors. I also did some ink blending around my card panel using Catherine Pooler Ink in Icing On The Cake and Amber.

Lastly, the backing for my card panel was created using a dark solid green paper from my Market Bloom paper pad and Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder, run through my Platinum 6 die cut system.

Thanks so much for stopping in. I adore this stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps and it comes with several different sentiments. I hope you'll join the hop, get to making!

Pink Ribbon Card for Pajama Crafter Stamps

 It's October and that means you'll see pink ribbons everywhere for breast cancer awareness. Today's card features the new Awareness stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps and I absolutely had to have this in my collection. As someone who began their breast cancer journey this year, the pink ribbon means so much to me, now more than ever.

 (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.)

If you haven't followed my journey, my mother and sister were both breast cancer survivors. My mom's was caught early and she avoided chemo and radiation, same as me. My sister however, ignored a growing lump for many years and she is very lucky to be alive. She is now over 10 years cancer free but it wasn't without a long, strenuous and painful journey of chemo and radiation.

That is why it's so important to get yearly mammograms and don't ignore symptoms!

I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in May and had a mastectomy in July. Although it was early stages, my doctor did not recommend a lumpectomy due to my family history. I'm doing very well at this time!

So let's get on with a few creative details. I started by stamping my image with Inkon3 Fadeout Ink, then used OLO Markers in 3 colors to color in the negative space.

My stamping was done using my Misti stamp positioner with the cardstock left in place to color. The reason why, is in the next step.

Once I finished my coloring, with my image still in place on the Misti, I stamped my image again using Catherine Pooler Cotton Candy ink, sprinkled on some clear embossing powder, then heat set my image.

I had seen this technique done before, so I thought I'd try it. The reasoning behind it is to avoid muddling up your alcohol marker brush tips with embossing powder that can seep onto your brush tips.

To pop up my butterfly wings, I trimmed along the ribbon line where the wings connect, so I could adhere adhesive foam strips on the backside and have my wings elevated above the ribbon. I also used a paintbrush to slightly curl my wings.

Lastly, I added white paint splatters to my wings, covering up the pink ribbon with low tack tape during this process. I also splattered some ink splatters on my background using Catherine Pooler Do-Si-Doh ink.

My sentiment was stamped in Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink.

If you look closely at the photo above, you might see some of the itty bitty pink sprinkles I harvested from the Pajama Crafter Stamps ROYGBIV Sprinkles Embellishment Mix and glued to my card. Tiny little sequins are some of my faves. So subtle and yet sparkly and shiny.

I'm so happy you stopped by today. Be sure and tap any of the links provided from my supply list for more product information or to shop. I hope you have a lovely day!

National Coffee Week at Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello friends, I'm guesting over at Coffee Loving Papercrafters today, in honor of National Coffee Week. Wahoo! I love nothing more than a good, caffeinated party! Be sure and head over there for all the fun festivities this past week and be sure and check out the sponsor industry hop over on Instagram. Today's card features a gorgeous new stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps called Pumpkin Spice and I absolutely love it!

 (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 release comes with the main image, 5 different sentiments and several additional leafy images. Let me say, when coloring coloring stamped images, I highly recommend you use a quality, smooth cardstock, such as Neenah Solar White Smooth or Ultra Smooth. At minimum, at least 80 -100 lb weight. Paper matters, trust me. I've seen so many novice cardmakers over the years post about not getting good results and ultimately, it boils down to quality paper and quality artist markers.

For my coloring, I used OLO Markers in these colors:

OR2.3 - Salmon

OR1.6 - Orangutan

OR7.4 - Milk Tea

YO2.7 - Sepia

O2.7 - Cinnamon

OR4.2 -  Pink Granite

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YO2.3 - Butterscotch

YG8.5 - Moss

I stamped my image several times so I could do some hand trimming of my designs for paper piecing.  I trimmed all around the cup, using it as a template to trace onto the plaid which was then hand trimmed again. 

Next, I colored the large pumpkin, leaf and flower that juts up to the side of my cup, and hand trimmed them to adhere to my finished card panel at the end.

Now, it's time to assemble. I adhered my plaid paper cup to the image, colored all the remaining images, then adhered my extra pumpkin, leaf and flower. I love plaid so much. It's my absolute favorite paper and I use it a lot for Fall and Winter projects. All my papers are from Scrapbookcom paper pads. The plaid paper is from the Cozy patterned paper pad and the orange and brown paper is from the Joyful patterned paper pad. Both paper pads are double sided and have patterned and solid papers included.

To frame my card, I used the Nested Postage Stamp Polaroid Frame dies, also from Scrapbookcom. I used the largest one in the set, which works perfectly for A2 sized cards. I've had these dies in my stash for awhile, but never used them. I was so pleased with the results and how it complements my colorful image! I die cut twice with my Platinum 6 die cut machine - once with my colored image and once with the brown paper, then swapped out the center pieces. Easy peasy!

 

As you can see, I also trimmed a section of the plaid paper as a backing to my sentiment, then added some embellishment to my card using burlap string and a half pearl from a shaker mix, which were both adhered with a hot glue gun.

This is a vertical card that measures in at 4 x 5.50 inches which is just under A2 size. I did trim the side of my white card just a bit before assembling, to have all my trimmed papers and die cut frame appear equal in dimension. I typically eyeball everything as I'm working and measure later, 'cause that's how I roll, haha.

Thanks so much for popping in. If you'd like more product information or wish to add some of these yummy goodies to your stash, just tap any of the affiliate links below, provided at no additional cost to you. I hope you have a fantastic, creative weekend!
