Love This A2 Card

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share with you using the Everyday Elements from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I used a leftover panel I had used for ink blending from a previous card with the Layered Butterfly Dies, I also used Fancy Cut-Aways Dies and the Love & Roses Stamps. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 - Trim White Soft Finish Card Stock to 4 1/4” x 11”, score at 5 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Optional for some added sparkle splatter some Gilded Aqua Pigment using a small brush to the card front. Let Dry.

Step 3 - I had a left over panel I used as a stencil for an earlier card. To do this panel diecut Fancy Cut-Aways using White Soft Finish Card Stock. Apply ink using a Blender Brush in colours of the rainbow. Adhere to card front using Kids Choice Glue on an angle.

Step 4 - Diecut Layered Butterfly (leaf swirl) using Teal Card Stock. Adhere to card using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 5 - Stamp Love & Roses (butterfly image) using Memento Ink (for alcohol ink colouring). Colour using your favourite alcohol inks. I used Copics. Diecut Layered Butterfly (matching butterfly) and adhere to card using Kids Choice Glue.

Step 6 - Stamp Love & Roses (sentiment) directly to card front using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

One key take away is when you are doing ink blending on a paper stencil. Never throw it out. It can always be used on another card. This card can be used for many occasions by simply changing the sentiment. Below are the links to the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Teddy The Tuscan With Jungles Leaves A2 Card

Hi everyone,

I have a colourful card to share with you using the Cute & Whimsical collection using Teddy The Tuscan and Jungles Leaves from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 - Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 1/4” x 11”, score at 5 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. Apply ink of your choice to create a tropical sunset. I used masking paper to apply the Light Blue ink and then flipped the masking to create the blending from Yellow, Red and Pink Inks. I went back in and added Purple to the top edge of the Cardstock. Adhere to card front using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

Step 3 - Apply sections of ink colours onto White Soft Finish Cardstock. I prefer doing this as it adds some dimension instead of a flat colour using coloured Cardstock. Diecut Jungle Leaves over all the inked Cardstock. See photo below. Assemble the flowers.

Step 4 - Adhere the Jungle Leaves diecuts on the card front using Kids Choice Glue. See below photos. Fill in the bottom and sides until you are happy. Trim off the edges.

Step 5 - Stamp Jungle Sentiments in the upper corner using Versamark Onyx Black Ink. Adhere to card front using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

Step 6 - Diecut Teddy The Tuscan using colored Cardstock. Assemble using Kids Choice Glue and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

This card can be used several occasions. I left the sentiment out until I have an occasion. I do this so I have an emergency card I need really fast. Below are the links to the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Happy A2 Card

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a card I made with Annette's New Release This Lovely Life. Just the title warms my heart. There is so much goodness in this release. I used the Love & Roses Stamps, Fancy Cut-Aways as a stencil, Everyday Words 3. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 - Trim White Soft Finish to 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2" and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Trim White Soft Finish to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Stamp Love & Roses (words) using a Lt. Grey Ink. Move your cardstock to align underneath and stamp again. I did this several times to create a panel.

Step 3 - Diecut Fitted Indented Rectangles with the panel created in Step 2. Adhere to card front using Foam Tape.

Step 4 - Trim White Soft Finish to 2 3/4" x 4". Diecut Fancy Cut-Aways using a scrap piece of Cardstock to use as a stencil. Place the stencil on top of the trimmed White Soft Finish. Use Washi Tape or Masking Tape to all the edges (about 1/4" from top and side edges and 1/2" from the bottom edge). Ink the stencil using colors from the Rainbow. Remove the Masking Tape and stencil.

Step 5 - Stamp Love & Roses (roses image) on the panel created from Step 4 using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Matte it with Black Cardstock trimmed to 2 7/8" x 4 1/8". Adhere to card using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesve Tape.

Step 6 - Apply the same last ink color you used in the rainbow on a scrap piece of Cardstock. Diecut Everyday Words 3 (word Happy) using the inked cardstock. Diecut Everyday Words 3 (shadow Happy) in Black Cardstock. Assemble using Kids Choice Glue and adhere to card front at the bottom right.

This card was so easy to put together. I left just the word Happy so whenever I have a need for this card I can easily turn it into a card for a specific occasion. Just add the rest of the sentiment on the inside of the card. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Since Kat Scrappiness is a super sponsor, we will be giving away a $25.00 gift card to the store to a lucky entry at the Coffee Lovers Hop Main Post located here.

I love Hot Coffee but in the Spring/Summer I like to indulge in Iced Coffee or a Coffee Frappe with whipped cream. Where I'm from there are places that sell it in a Mason Jar. When Kat Scrappiness came out with the Mason Jar Shaker Dies I knew I had to use it in my card. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

Optional: use the same ink left on the brush from Step 3 to add some shading to the edges of the solid piece. Assemble using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Before adhering to the card front see Step 5.

Step 5 - Stamp Coffee Quokka (image with the coffee beans) to the bottom of the Jar using Brown Ink. Use washi tape or non permanent tape to mask of the areas that doesn't have the coffee beans. Once inked remove the tape and then stamp.
