Pink & Main - EGGstraordinary

 



Hello!  Today I'm happily guest designing for Pink & Main's newest release and I'm sharing the details on this card made using their adorable new EGGstraordinary stamp set.

I stamped the images using Eiffel Tower ink by MFT and I coloured the images using the following Copic markers:-

Chick - YR31, YR20, E50, BG0000
Bunny - E42, E41, E40
Kitten - C5, C3, C1, C0
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00
Eggs - R22, R20, R00 & BG01, B00, B000 & Y21, YR20, E50 & C3, C1, C0
Egg Carton - E42, E41, E40
Shading - C3, C1, C0

I highlighted with a white gel pen and used a black glaze pen to emphasise the eyes and die cut.




I die cut a panel of cardstock and ink blended a blue background.  Over this at the bottom I layered some patterned cardstock from my stash.  I backed all of the stamped images and applied them to the background using foam tape.  

The decorative panel was glued to an A2 white card base.




I chose a sentiment from some of the choices included in this fun stamp set and stamped it on a perfectly sized piece of cardstock which I applied with more foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I'll be back on Monday 20th with my second of three cards created for Pink & Main's new release so I hope you return for that.

Happy crafting!

Pink & Main - Love Letters

 




Hello friends!  I hope 2025 has got off to a good start for you all personally.  Today I'm sharing a card made as a guest designer for Pink & Main and which frankly has you covered year round but of course with Valentine's Day right around the corner there is special focus.

This card features their new 'Love Letters' stamp set, together with the coordinating die.  The scalloped panel in the back was made using Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables Die by Lawn Fawn and the patterned background created using the now discontinued 'Woven' background stamp from Hello Bluebird.

Ok, lets get started!  As with just about every card I create I started with the background and I kept it neutral so that the colourful letters popped.  I took a panel of cardstock and ink blended using Tea Dye Distress Oxide Ink, inking a little more around the edges and fading towards the centre focal point.  I hit this with my heat gun to dry it then stamped the panel using Versamark Ink and the Woven background stamp then I heat embossed in white.





I die cut a white panel of cardstock using the scalloped die and then glued the blended panel to that.  I backed the panels with white craft foam and applied it to a white card base.

I used Eiffel Tower ink by MFT to stamp the image and I coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Bear - E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
Bunny - W3, W2, W1, W0, W00
Fox - E35, E34, E33, E11, C3, C1, C0
Raccoon - W6, W5, W4, W2, W0, C3, C1, C0
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I used a black glaze pen to emphasise their noses and eyes and a white gel pen to highlight a few spots.






I used the coordinating die to die the image and also the stamp sentiment.  I backed it all with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background.

The final act was to grab my Stickles Glitter in 'Diamond' and glitter up those letters in all their glory and with that done this card was complete.
