Sunny Flowers

Welcome

I had fun playing with an older released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Sunny Flowers 

So, here's what I did to create my card.

I decided to make a modified mini-slimline card so here are the measurements I used:

Base:  cut @7" x 6 1/4"

Score @ 3 1/2"

• I placed the Sunny Flowers stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink into the flower centers and then I added some Picked Raspberry to the rest of the flower.
• Next, I used an eraser on the end of a pencil to add some dots using the same colour of inks just to fill in some of the open areas.
• To brighten up the whole design, I used my white Posca pen and added dots to the eraser circles and to the flowers.
• While that dried, I die cut the sentiment from a scrap piece of embossed white cardstock and rubbed over it with my Picked Raspberry DOX ink pad.
• I die cut the sentiment 4 more times with white cardstock and glued them all together to create a stacked sentiment.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of white, then pink cardstock and then onto the white card base.
• I glued the sentiment into the corner to finish my card off.

Holiday Time

Hello

I hope your holiday planning is going well, it's such a busy time of year.

Today, I am revisiting this wonderful stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Triangle Fade

So, here's what I did to create this simple card.

• I placed the Triangle Fade stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salty Ocean and some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink.
• I used the design of the pattern and cut along the edges to give the zig zag edges.
• I took the stenciled panel and placed it into my Misti to stamp the trees over the background and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
• Next I took another piece of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment along the bottom edge.
• I added some foam tape to the stenciled and stamped trees piece and added it along the middle section of my card front over the sentiment.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of blue cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• To finish my card off, I added 2 black gems beside the sentiment.

Welcome

This month we are revisiting some of our favourite stencils at A Colorful Life Designs.

Here is one of my favs called:

Snowflake Net

So here's what I did to create my card.

I decided to make a Side Fold card using the stencil so I began by prepping my card base.  Here is how I did that:

- Base: cut a piece of cardstock 9 3/4" x 4 1/4"

- Score the base at 4 1/4"

- Stamped Panel Front measures 3 3/4"  

- Side Panel measures 1 1/2" x 3 3/4"

** MY STENCILED PANELS ARE A BIT SMALLER AS I ADDED A BORDER AROUND**

• I placed the Snowflake Net stencil down onto my non-stick mat and rubbed over it with some Blueprint Sketch and some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink being sure to cover the stencil well with ink.
• I sprayed it with water then pressed it onto a piece of white cardstock.
• When the print was dry, I stamped over it with a grid and some more script using more of the Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
• I splattered the whole panel with my Posca pen and let dry again.
• Next, I cut my panel as mentioned above and glued them onto my card base.
• I stamped and die cut the sentiment and glued that onto a blue and white circle die cut.
• I glued the sentiment onto my card front being sure to add the glue only to one side so the card could still open.

Good Morning

Tis the season where it seems that everyone is getting sick so I wanted to add a few cards to my Get Well stash.

I had fun playing with some older released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Triangle Fade and Cracked 

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Cracked stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Triangle Fade stencil right over the top and inked again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.  It made such a pretty designs.
• While that dried, I took some white cardstock and cut the sentiment 4 times.  I glued those together to create my 'stacked' sentiment.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of pale blue cardstock, then navy and then onto a white A2 sized card base.  I glued the sentiment over the middle and finished my card off by adding some blue gems around the sentiment.

Snowflake Deer and Little Snowfall

Here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Snowflake Deer stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked with some Blueprint Sketch and some Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Little Snowflake stencil over the deer and inked it again with some Chipped Sapphire DOX ink.
• I removed the stencils and then using my white Posca pen, I splattered and dotted the snowflakes to give them more interest.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I found this pre-printed sentiment, so I added it with some foam tape along the card front.

Welcome

Todays card is a fun one and features the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Little Snowfall 

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Little Snowfall stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
• I cleaned the stencil off and shifted it up and to the side of the first print and then inked again with some Salty Ocean DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and added white dots to all the snowflake centers with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• Next, I inked another piece of white cardstock with a stencil called Dotted Lines with more of the Tumbled Glass DOX ink, turned the stencil around and inked again with more of the Salty Ocean ink.  I used that to die cut the sentiment.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of pale blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the background.

Today I'm showing you a wonderful new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called;

Snowflake Deer

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Snowflake Deer stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked with some Wild Honey and some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink just around the deer.  I added some Tumbled Glass DOX around the outside edges.
• I removed the stencil, splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• Next, I die cut the trees with some white cardstock and looked through my foiled sentiments to find one that worked.
• I glued the tree die cut over the deer, centering them into the open area.
• I glued my card front onto a piece of pale blue cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I glued the pre-printed sentiment over the deer to finish off my card.
