Pink & Main - March Release Birthday Card

 

Welcome to my blog and another birthday card created using products from Pink & Main's March release.  I have used the following products to make this card:-

Icing On The Cake

Icing On The Cake Die

Birthday Wishes Embossing Folder

I took a white panel of sturdy cardstock and I used the embossing folder to create that background design which I love!  I then came in with Cornflower Ink by The Stamp Market and with a light touch, I softly ink blended the embossed panel.  I layered a small strip of white cardstock over the bottom of the panel.  This whole panel was then adhered to a larger white panel then glued to the card base.

I stamped the images from Icing On The Cake with black ink and coloured the images using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Bunny - E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Mouse - N4, N3, N1, N0, C00

Bear - E37, E35, E55, E31, E41, E40

Pink - V01, RV52, RV10

Blue - B12, B41

Yellow - Y21, Y00, Y0000

I highlighted with a white gel pen and also added polka dots to the bunting, then all elements were applied with dimensional foam tape.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment on the lower right hand corner and adhered a few sparkling clear sequins.

Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Hop and Giveaway

Thank you for navigating to my blog today from the Alex Syberia Designs Instagram Hop celebrating their new BetterPress Release Hop and Giveaway.

To create this card I used the following Alex Syberia Designs products:-

Abstract Floral Background Press Plate

Classic Sentiments Press Plate

Nested Scalloped Frames Die Set

Sweet Friend

Sweet Friend Die

I created an A2 white panel of cardstock and die cut using the largest nested die from the Scalloped Frames Die Set.  I then took a second white panel and using some pink Spellbinders foil, I used my Glimmer machine and the Abstract Floral Background Press Plate and foiled the smaller panel with the pink floral design and then I reduced it's size by using a smaller die from the Scalloped Frames Die Set to die cut it.  This panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the A2 white panel and then this was glued to my card base.  

I used the Classic Sentiments Press Plate and black foil to produce the 'Celebrate' sentiment and the xoxo was borrow from the Sweet Friend stamp set.

I then stamped the images I was wanting from Sweet Friend and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Mice - E44, E31, E41, E40

Blush and Ears - RV55, RV63, RV52, RV00

Flowers - Y28, Y26, Y21, RV55, RV00

I highlighted their blushing cheeks and die cut and then I backed images and sentiments with foam tape and applied them to the pretty foiled background

A few sparkling clear sequins completed the project.

 

Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

 

Hello and welcome to the Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Blog Hop & Giveaway.  Please ensure that you read all the way to the bottom of my post for Giveaway details and to find a link to the next blog to visit on the hop!  Also, this link is to the Alex Syberia Designs release blogpost.

My first card for this release hop features the following products:-

Abstract Background PressPlate

Elegant Blooms PressPlate

Classic Sentiments PressPlate

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

Cheerful Panda Moments

Cheerful Panda Moments Die

To create the card I first took a panel of minty green cardstock and did a tone on tone foiling using a minty coloured foil by Spellbinders.  I attached this foiled panel to my card base and framed it out in white using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set.  This was added with foam tape.

I then took some white cardstock and used the Elegant Blooms PressPlate and the same minty green foil and after foiling it in my Glimmer machine I then die cut using the coordinating die.  I added a little yellow ink blending to the centre of the front facing flower and applied it to the card using foam tape

Next, I used black foil to foil all of the sentiments from the Classic Sentiments PressPlate.  I chose the Big Hugs sentiment for this card and saved the rest for future projects.  I die cut the sentiment and added with foam tape.

To complete the card I added a sweet Panda from Cheerful Panda Moments.  I stamped in black and coloured with Copic markers in C3, C1, C00, R22, R21, R20, R00.  The cheeks were highlighted and then I die cut and applied with foam tape, tucking him partially behind the sentiment.

A few sparkling clear sequins completed this project.  So much fun to foil as it creates a dazzling effect when the card is handled by the recipient.

Pink & Main March Release - Icing On The Cake

Hello and welcome to a second card that I've made as I guest design for Pink & Main's March release which is available for purchase now.

For my card today I have used the new Icing On The Cake stamps and the coordinating dies.  The card was started with a sheet of patterned paper from the It's Your Birthday Patterned Paper pack.  I cut this to A2 and glued it to a card base.  I then created a smaller white panel and I masked off the edges and using a very light touch, I softly ink blended with a little Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  I then removed the mask and glued the panel to the patterned base.

I stamped the images from Icing On The Cake with black ink an coloured the images using the following Copic colours:-

Bunny - E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Mouse - N4, N3, N1, N0, C00

Bear - E37, E35, E55, E31, E41, E40

Pink - V01, RV52, RV10

Blue - B12, B41

Yellow - Y21, Y00, Y0000

I die cut using the coordinating dies and applied to the background using either a single or double layer of dimensional foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied with foam tape and for the finishing touches, I adhered a few sparkling clear sequins and then I used some white stars from the new 'Stars & Sprinkles Confetti' to decorate the cake and gift.

I adore these sweet little critters and hope you enjoyed my card today.

 

Pink & Main March Release

 

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today for the details on this birthday card I created as a guest designer for Pink & Main's brand new release which is now available for purchase.  To create this card I have worked with Party Penguins stamps and the coordinating die set.

I simply took an A2 panel of white cardstock and ink blended a focal point using Party Pink ink by The Stamp Market.  I then loosened a little white acrylic paint with a drop or two of water and using a paint brush I splattered the background with the paint and set it to one side to dry.

I stamped the Party Penguins characters using black ink and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Penguins - T6, T4, T3, C3, C1, C0, C00, R0000

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00, R0000

Yellow - Y19, Y15

Blue - B12, B41

Pink - RV06, RV04, RV00

I die cut using the coordinating die set and applied the elements to the background ink blend.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment (from the stamp set) and highlighted areas with a white gel pen and I finished with a scattering of sparkling clear sequins and adhered the decorative panel to my card base.

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Baby Card

 

I thought I'd share this baby card with my followers which I made for personal use and was created using Hello Bluebird Stamps products.  Unfortunately this Sweet Dreams stamp set is now sold out and discontinued, only the coordinating die is available in their blowout sale.  You can find the products here.

I started with a white A2 panel of cardstock which I ink blended using Cerulean ink by The Stamp Market and I die cut using Hello Bluebird's 'Starry Sky Die' which is in stock!  I glued this panel to a sparkling white panel of cardstock and then to the card base.

I stamped the images from Sweet Dreams in black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Fox - E37, E35, E33, E11, E01, C3, C1, C00

Koala - T5, T3, T1, T0

Lion - E79, E84, Y28, Y26, YR20, E000

Clouds - B91, C0, C00

Blush - R22, R21, R00

I highlighted with a white gel pen and glazed their noses in black then die cut using the companion dies.  Each animal was glued to a cloud and then backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

To complete the project, I stamped the sentiments and applied those with more foam tape and then I grabbed a frame die from my stash and die cut the simple white frame and applied with dimensional tape which nicely finished off this sweet scene.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I'll be back soon with something brand new.

Alex Syberia Designs - New Release Instagram Hop

 

Thank you for stepping away from the Alex Syberia Designs Instagram Hop and joining me here for the details on my card featuring products from their February release.  For this card I have used the following products:-

From Our Hearts

From Our Hearts Dies

I used black ink to repeat stamp a background design using floral images from From Our Hearts.  I trimmed this panel smaller than A2, backed it with white craft foam and applied it to my white card base.

I then stamped the three blooms and some greenery on some more white cardstock and I coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Blue Flower - B63, BV13, BV20

Pink Flower - RV63, RV52, RV10

Yellow Flower - Y26, YR31, E51, YR30

Greenery - YG95, YG93, YG01

Images were die cut using the coordinating dies and then the blooms were added with dimensional foam tape.  I tucked the greenery behind the flowers and when I was happy I applied a little foam tape to the leaves to pop them up.

I completed the card by stamping the sentiment words with black ink and die cutting and applying with little bits of foam tape and the final touch was the addition of some water droplet style embellishment which were added with glue.

I hope you enjoyed my card inspiration today, always a useful style to create and keep on hand.  Thank you for stopping by!
