Hello Blossom

Hi everyone and welcome back to our crafty space.Raluca here with a new card showcasing the gorgeous new "Blossom" stencil, along with the fabulous "Hello Twice" die set.

As soon as I saw this beautiful stencil I imagined how beautiful it would look in black.

* I started my card by die cutting a white panel using the largest stitched rectangle.
* Using a black ink pad I ink blended the Blossom stencil in a corner of the panel.
* I die cut the hello die from black cardstock and the second hello die from gold holographic foil cardstock and glued them together.

* I adhered the Hello word to the panel and stamped a second part to the sentiment using a stamp from Just Saying Hello set.

* I mounted the panel on a teal card base using craft foam.

* For a more colorful look I glued some enamel dots from different colors that go well with the teal from the card base and my card was done.

Fast, easy and beautiful result!!! Love it!

(((VIDEO))) Distress Stain Rainbow Backgroun

Hello crafty friends! It's Jess and today I have three cards and a video using some stencils and die sets.

I had recently reorganized some things in my craft room and now my Distress Stains are displayed where I can see and reach them readily. So I wanted to make a point to use them soon. I decided to see if they would work well with my beloved Create a Smiles stencils and diecuts.

My go to when playing with a medium is to create a rainbow. I did it last month with my Alcohol Inks and felt drawn to trying again with my Distress Stains. I think this is because I can use a whole bunch of colors at one time. When I'm using a previously neglected supply I want to really have some fun with it. You can get more details in the video:

Use black to make your rainbow colors really pop. This technique works with a variety of stencils from the large shapes of Big Hearts Polka to the thin lines of the Diamond stencil so be sure to play with whatever Create a Smile stencils you own.

Happy Easter # 2

Hi there it's Anja again with another easter card for you.

 

 

 

Since Easter is on it's way and i really adore those lovely easter critters I decided to make another Easter card.



I started with a topfolded white cardbase and placed a strip of patterned paper at the right side.
I stamped and masked the images on a white cardpanel and sponged the heartstencil with some distress ink.
White heat embossed the sentiment onto a pink fishtail piece and adhered it onto the card.



Stamps;

Eggstraordinairy Egghunt and Welcome baby.

Hi everyone! Raluca here with a fresh and spring card using the "Magic Flowers" stamp set.

I love coloring so I look through my stash to see which flowers I haven't colored yet and I saw this beautiful flower. On that moment I decided to make a card with it.

I stamped the images using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and I colored them with alcohol markers and colored pencils. Then I fussy cut them. On a white panel die cut with the largest stitched rectangle I used the "Diamonds" stencil with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. I added some white splatters for a bigger effect. On a strip of black card stock I stamped and heat embossed in white the sentiment from the "Friends like you" stamp set. I assembled everything and I added a few clear sequins and my card was done.

I hope you got inspired and that you'll add this beautiful set to your stash. There are so many gorgeous flowers in it.
