Pinkfresh Studio - Stencil Two Ways

 Hello everyone! I am so happy to be on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with two fun ways to use the new Border Stencils. I paired them with Cheers stamp, dies and stencils. There are so many techniques the stencils can be used for, so they are quite versatile.

The theme for June challenge is Ombré/ Gradients, so I decided to keep my theme based on that.

Sponge Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose and Raspberry Bliss inks onto white card layer using the horizontal stripes border from the stencils.To get a nice and crisp effect, I used the 1/2 inch blender brushes for this process.

Next, use the Twist Pattern press plate without ink to get subtle texture onto the stenciled piece. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Make sure to keep all the negative pieces. Adhere the twisted pattern to a white layer using re-position adhesive and add the negative pieces to the white panel. Add 3d foam to the twist pattern and adhere.

Stamp the images and sentiment  from the Cheers stamp set using Detail Black ink. Sponge the images using Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss, Waterfall, Grassy Knoll, Olive inks through the co-ordinating stencils. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Adhere to the card. I also added some vellum leaves die-cut from the Curvy Leaves dies. To finish, I added nuvo crystal glaze to the ice and some Ice clear drops to the card.

I created another card by using the diagonal stripes to create a pattern.

Sponge Seaside, Waterfall, Key Lime through the stencil. Wipe the stencil and turn it upside down and sponge Sparkling Rose, Apricot, Lemon Whip inks to create the pattern, wipe the stencil.

Next, cover the inked stripes by slightly moving the stencil, apply nuvo glimmer paste through the stencil, let dry. Die-cut a vellum circle from the Mini Slimline Essenential Bundle and create the cluster using the images from the Cheers stamp set. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Happy Vibes stamp, die-cut  using the Happy Vibes dies. To finish, I added some vellum leaves.

Sunny Studio - Happy Birthday

Hello everyone, I am on the Sunny Studio blog today with a happy, CAS, rainbow theme card featuring the Stitched Square dies. This card can easily be masculine theme and by changing the colors, we can make it more feminine or monochromatic. 

I started by die-cutting the small squares using the 2nd. smallest die from various colors of cardstock. Next I used two of the bigger dies and created a white frame to make all the squares look as one focal image.

Stamp the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings onto black card using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder, heat set. Cut the sentiment in a stripe and adhere in the center using foam tape. Adhere this piece to a grey mat layer and then onto white cardbase. I stamped the butterfly onto vellum from the Watering Can stamp set, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Spellbinders - Bayfair Collection

 Hello everyone! I am sharing a few cards using products by Spellbinders from the Bayfair collection. It was fun to combine the gorgeous floral dies with the patterns from the paper pad and the sentiments from the stickers pack.

For the first card I kept the flower dies as my focal point. I used two patterns from the paper pad to create the background. Die-cut flowers and leaves using various colors of cardstock and adhered to the card. To finish, I added some flicks of gold ink. The sentiment is from the sticker sheet, love the gold foil look.

For the next card I die-cut the pattern paper using the postage die. I also created a frame using the dies from the mirror gold cardstock. I used some of the floral and leaves dies and adhered them to the direction of the sentiment.

For the last card, I used a deep red cardstock, sponged aged mahogany and fired brick distress ink to the edges. I also used the Lattice die from the Lisa Horton collection. Create the floral cluster using colors of your choice.


Hope you liked the creations. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - One Layer Card using Masking technique

Hello crafty friends! Today I am on the Pinkfresh Studio card blog with a colorful one layer card using the masking technique. I feel, sometimes we need one layer cards for easy mailing and this is where this masking technique comes to play. I used the beautiful Amazing Things stamps, dies and stencils.

I started by stamping the image twice using the Detail Black ink and the Amazing Things stamp set onto a white panel. Next, I used the Amazing Things Stencils and added inks to the image. I used the Blending Brushes (1/4th and 1/2 inch).

Ink colors I used:

Flowers (Lemon Whip, Apricot, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, Berrylicious, Candy Violet, Waterfall, Sapphire)

Leaves (Grassy Knoll, Key Lime, Waterfall, Berrylicious, Sapphire)

Next, using the Amazing Things dies, I die-cut two masks from masking paper. You can use copy-paper instead and adhere it with temporary adhesive Adhere the masks to the image. Sponge Sky Blue and Waterfall ink to the background. Flick some water and white paint and let it dry.

Remove the masks and see the beautiful one layer image with white outlines. Stamp the sentiment from the Joyful Day stamp set. 

To finish, adhere some Ice clear drops and adhere this panel to a white cardbase.

Hope you liked the process of easy to mail, one layer card. Thank you for dropping by and have  nice day!
