Distressed Cabinet and Mug Display Slimline Card

Hello lovelies. I'm super excited about today's card. It's always a wondrous thing when you have an idea forming in your mind, you put it to paper, and it comes out just as you'd hoped. This card features new products from Pink and Main and they are absolutely adorable. It's also National Craft Month, which is why I decided to add construction worker to my resume, after finishing this project, haha! 

I hope you'll stick with me for a few creative details further down, as I share the inspiration for my card, and my vision to create distressed "cabinets" for my specialty mugs. 

(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.)

 

When the latest release came out from Pink and Main, I decided I had to have the Spring Mugs stamp set. Absolutely, without question. You know when you get an idea just from the first look at a product?

I know we all have Grandmother's, Mom's, and other women in our life who have those kitchen cabinets, hutches and what not, that hold specialty dishes, mugs, and more for display. You may have one yourself! That was my immediate idea when I saw these stamps.

I wanted to create a "cabinet" and shelves to sit my mugs on for display. Not only that, I wanted to create a 3-D effect so it actually looks like it is sitting on a shelf! And, I wanted to use patterned paper to be the "shelf paper" for the cabinet.

I literally sketched out an idea for the cabinets and wish I had photographed it. Alas, I flipped it over when I was finished and used the cardstock to stamp my images. I had not intended to make a tutorial, however, in hindsight, it would probably have been a good idea.

If you wanted to recreate the "cabinet" look, it's rather easy. I trimmed 3 squares of white cardstock, 2.5 x 3 inches. Next, I placed some masking tape 1/2 an inch from the left and right side of the square. I used my blender brushes to ink up the center space with Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo. I blended it rather dark, peeled off the masking tape, then used the leftover ink for the lighter sides of the cabinet. 

I also decided to distress my cabinets, to give a loved and worn look. This is easily done with the use of a nail file. The photo below was screenshot I took from a short video in my Instagram stories. You can see the Bath & Body Works nail file that I was using, haha. Just don't look to close at my inky fingers!

Lastly, I trimmed some patterned paper from the Pink and Main Flower Pop collection. I did some measuring with my ruler and determined 0.5 x 3 inches was a good height and width. Once I trimmed my strips, it was an easy matter of trimming angled edges to "fit" into the cabinet. Just grab a ruler and pencil, and lightly trace where you need your angles trimmed.

With all that being said, those adorable mugs are the star of the show. My cabinets are merely a backdrop for the lovely mug display.

Below is a close-up photo of my card. My Spring Mugs were colored with Copic markers. However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I chose my papers first then chose the markers to match the color scheme.

The plaid paper has blue, green, orange and yellow on it. I chose those exact marker colors in various shades of the same color. The only colors not pulled from the plaid are the pink, flesh tone, and a touch of light brown to go with the bunny's pink nose. The Easter Egg mug has all the colors reflected from the patterned paper. I really love how my mugs turned out!

Now, my card is just under the standard dimensions for a slimline card, but larger than a mini-slimline. My dimensions for this folded card are 3.25"W x 8.25"H. You can easily trim down a slimline card to these dimensions, if you keep slimline cards on hand.

I also decided to trim out the inside of my mug handles with my craft knife. It was a struggle! I am not the most gifted when it comes to handling a craft knife, haha.

My sentiment is also from the Spring Mugs stamp set and I stamped it with my black hybrid ink on white cardstock, trimmed it and edged it with more distress Vintage Photo ink. 

I'm also sharing this card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Bright and Cheerful. 

I've scattered affiliate links for Pink and Main throughout this post, however I also have links to these products, also available at Scrapbook.com. I wanted to mention this because there's a coupon code for 10% off your entire order this week at Scrapbook.com and you can use it for an added discount on these Pink & Main products! The code is SBCFEST4 and this link includes the entire new Pink and Main release: New Pink and Main at Scrapbook.com

Beachy Unicorn Card

Hey crafty friends! I'm feeling the summer vibes with the new release from Pink & Main!

This card features the Beach Unicorn stamp set, among other lovely products from P & M. But seriously, floating unicorns? Yes, please! Scroll down for a few creative details and I'll have convenient affiliate product links available at the end of this post.

(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.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

First, I used a mirror image stamp technique where you do some reverse image stamping.  It's super easy and requires a big 'ole piece of rubber for this (see product links at the end of this post).  It fits nicely inside the mini Misti stamp positioner.  You simply stamp your image onto the rubber two or three times to get a good inking which is why you should use a stamp positioner. Then, gently press and rub your cardstock (for coloring images) into the ink.  It's not a perfect science but I usually touch up any areas that I need to with a fine tip black Copic pen.

I used a variety of Copic Markers to color my palm trees and unicorn, and accented with a white gel pen.  As you can see, I decided to cut up my colored unicorn image and have her floating in the waves.  It's ok to chop up your paper! 

For my background, I used a pretty orange/pink paper from my paper pad, then inked up some clouds with my stencil.  If you use the stencil edges, you can flip them upside for waves! Don't you love a product that has duality?  I know I do.

I've nicknamed my unicorn Prissy and Prissy needs a beach towel to dry off. Here's a neat trick. Score some lines on your cardstock, then rub over them with a cardboard nail file.  I thought it gave a super cool "sand" effect. You can't hit the beach without getting sand all over your towel! To finish off my card, I added Nuvo drops in my clouds and on my beach, and hand drew some little star fish that I fussy cut and embellished.

This was such a fun card to make and I hope I've given you some good ideas to try out. Hope your summer is all it can be, despite the current health climate!  Take care and stay healthy!
