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!

Floral 3D Embossing for Spellbinders

Hey friends, I've created a card for Spellbinders today, featuring the new Floral For You 3D Emboss and Cut Folder from the Sealed 3D Botanical Collection. This was such an easy card to make and if you scroll down, I'll tell you all about it! I'll do my best to be brief.

(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.)

 

Have you tried the emboss/cut folders? I love them! It makes creating so easy, because you emboss and place your die in the outline of the folder. When you run it through your die cut system, it embosses and cuts at the same time. It's such a great time saving feature.

For my A2 size card, I wanted to keep it simple, so I did some finger painting on my embossed die cuts with Ranger/Simon Hurley Solar Paste in Golden Hour. It dries super fast too. It actually looks a little more silver in these photos, but I'm ok with that.

I'll have a one minute speed reel up on my Instagram and Tiktok, so you can see the finger painting process. It's simply a matter of painting the raised edges of the embossing!

My cardstocks are Cosmic Sky and Sage, also from Spellbinders. I embossed my layered card panel with the Sage cardstock and the March Embossing Folder of the Month, "Classic Backdrop". 

Please note, because of photo editing, my pictures are brighter. The cardstocks I'm using are a tad bit darker than what you see in my photos.

A few weeks ago, I foiled a batch of sentiments using the new Curved Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil/Die Set with my Glimmer Hot Foil System. I grabbed one of those and popped it up on adhesive foam and also glued some Spellbinders sequins, then called it a day.

Thanks so much for popping in! If you'd like to browse or shop, I have affiliate product links for you below. Have a great day!

Donut Lovers Card

Happy National Donut Day! Yes, I'll use any excuse to celebrate donuts, including whipping up this happy card for the occasion. I'm creating with the Scrapbook.com Pumpkin Spice stamp set that includes a donut image. This is a Fall themed set that has other sweet images.  I love stamp sets that transition from one season to another! Scroll down for  creative details!

I used the mask technique on my center donut, stamping once, then placing a section of mint tape over my stamped image and stamped again. I then peeled of my stamped tape and fussy cut around the donut. 

Next, I placed my stamped tape back over my center donut, and stamped more donuts on either side. This creates a fun effect and appears that the two side donuts are offset behind the center donut.

I also used my mint tape to mask my sentiment for stamping in color and in black. Covering each section of the stamp with tape allows you to ink up one section at a time, just remember to pull off the tape before you stamp onto your cardstock or you'll have a mess. 

I used a stamp positioner for all my stamping today. It's super helpful for the mask technique.

I colored up my donuts with artist Copic markers. I find the best prices on these at Scrapbookpal.com. They are currently running their semi-annual Copic sale so, if you're looking to add to your collection, use coupon code COPIC2024 at checkout for an additional 10% discount through 6/18/24. 

I also added Scrapbookcom Pops of Color in Chocolate Kiss and Summer Peach to my white panel. Sometimes dimensional liquid embellishments can have a tiny swirl when applying to cardstock and here's your bonus tip of the day:

While the liquid gloss is still wet, tap both sides (left and right) of your dotted cardstock onto a hard surface, such as a table. Don't be gentle, tap it good. This will flatten out your liquid embellishment significantly and give more of an "enamel dot" appearance.  This really works well with larger Pops of Color droplets.

Lastly, I used my Scrapbookcom Rectangle Nesting dies to create a border frame, paired with a pretty gingham paper from my Joyful paper pad. The darker orange paper also came from that paper pad, as well.

I have my clickable supply list below, for this A2 sized card below, if you'd like to browse or shop at Scrapbookcom for any of these products. Have a great day!
