CAS Culinary Card

Here's another card that features stamps from Ink Blot Shop.  This stamp set is called "Food For Thought" and I was thrilled when I discovered it at Simon Says Stamp.  My teen is a culinary student and I've been looking for just the right stamp set to make culinary, foodie, gourmet cards and to also incorporate into some scrapbook layouts from my son's culinary competitions.  It makes a fun Mothers Day card too.  Or,  teachers... It's versatile enough for all the special people in your life!

I thought I would stamp this image and do some paper piecing.  To my surprise, it resulted in a comical, cartoonish effect that I absolutely love!  The flat dimension really lends itself to that style.  Simply stamp on white cardstock and again on red cardstock.  Trim the white sections and adhere on top of the red stamped image, then fussy cut your pot.

I used blender brushes from Picket Fence Studio, to blend Hero Arts soft brown ink in the background.  It gives a homey, warm feel to the card and places even more focus on the pot, which is the star of the show.  My black ink is from Clearsnap, Wicked Black, one of my absolute favorites.  It's great for stamping and coloring with Copic Markers, as I did for those little drops of steamy water splatters using C3 and C1 Copic Sketch.

Many of the images in this stamp set are very large which I love.  You will be pleasantly surprised at how big this entire stamp set is.  It's such a versatile set and I'm going to be making up a storm of cards for passing along to teachers, friends and family.

Whimsical Mothers Day Card

Happy Friday, friends!  I wanted to share a fun brand that I've been a fan of for awhile; Ink Blot Shop.  I've been a follower of  owner Tifany DeGough since back in the day when she designed for Unity Stamps.  She eventually started her own company and I fell in love with her release from February of this year.  I recently purchased 4 stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp, who carry this brand as well.  Stick around, as I've got some coupon codes for you too!

The first stamp set I chose to work with is the "Little Something" stamp set, coloring up that cute little guy with Copics markers.   You can do so many things with these images and for so many sweet occasions.  I thought this would be a cute card for my son to give his grandmother for Mother's Day.

from: Simon Says Stamp

I wanted to have a tall card with an endless sky so I grabbed an 8.5x11" sheet of Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb white cardstock, trimming and scoring to 8"L x 4"W.  

My coordinating card panel was inked using a variety of Ranger Distress Inks.  I used blender brushes from Picket Fence Studios, using them to blend off the edge of torn paper.  It's a very easy technique and if you'd like to see more, you can view a 1 minute video that I made as part of my Crafty Friday Night series, here.

Next up, I used the stamp set called "Botanical Borders", again coloring with my Copic markers

from: Simon Says Stamp

These borders are so fun to color!  My favorite color combo was that pretty orange/yellow bloom. Be sure you're using a good dye ink or hybrid ink when stamping your images for use with Copic coloring.  I also did some embellishing on my florals with a white Signo gel pen.  All my adhesives are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I also created a grassy border at the bottom, masking off a white striped area with washi tape.  I used the dotted mound in the stamp set below called, "Get Grounded".  Once I inked the dotty stamp all over, within the boundaries of the masked area, I then colored with my green Copic markers, YG17 and YG25, before peeling off the washi tape.

Sweet Friends and Coffee

Hello friends.  Today's card was created with several events in mind.  I'm featuring the Hug in a Mug Stamp and Die set from Jillibean Soup, the Crate Paper Flourish paper and ephemera collection, Nuvo embellishments and I even made a custom envelope to coordinate with my card, using my We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board.  You an also use their envelope punch board.

 (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 up, is the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer blog hop.  As a brew crew member, I would be remiss if I didn't link up!  Life gets hectic but,  these are my people!  I always look forward to participating.  You can link up your new coffee, tea or cocoa themed spring or summer card as well by clicking this link, here.  Be sure you read the rules.  There are lots of prizes to be won and you don't want to miss out, thanks to an entire community of wonderful craft companies that sponsor this event.

Before I move on, a few quick details on my card.  I used Versamark clear watermark ink with my mug stamp, onto green Flourish paper from Crate Paper.  Next, I sprinkled clear embossing powder and heat it up just until it was almost fully embossed, stopping to quickly sprinkle on some super fine crystal glitter, (tap off excess), then finishing the heat process.  It's super sparkly!  My shaker features the stamped sentiment from Jillibean Soup Hug in A Mug set, gemstones from Nuvo and Dream Drops, also from Nuvo.  

My steam was created by placing kraft paper on black crafty tape from Scrapbook adhesives by 3L and using the steam die included in the Jillibean Soup set (and heart).  All papers and ephemera are from the Flourish Crate Paper collection, as is the paper for my envelope. My blossoms are popped up and I added a double layer of foam circles to the back of my cup to raise it higher than my blossom.  Please note: some of the Flourish collection are retired and out of stock.

The next challenge that I'm sharing this card for, is the Jillibean Soup National Scrapbook Day Challenge #5.  You can find out more about this challenge, here.  This one ends on May 12th, midnight EST.  Instructions for entering are on the link above.
