5 Easy Stenciled Background Cards + Video


Hi everyone, welcome back to the Ink On 3 blog!  Stencils are a great way to lay down a lot of color at once.  If you mix stencils with different mediums, you can even introduce an element of texture to your cards/scrapbook pages/bullet journals/etc.  In the video below, I will showcase five easy backgrounds using one stencil and turn them into cards.  You can mix and match techniques for more dimension or more coverage, depending on what you need for your future Ink On 3 projects!



Hey thank you so much for checking out my video on how I made these cards!  Do you all have stamp sets from Ink On 3 that you would like me to use in a future project?  Let me know in the comments below!  If you like what you've seen from me, make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel and give me a follow over on Instagram!  Talk to you all very soon!

Simple Stenciled Floral Birthday Cards

Am I the only one who ALWAYS has a shortage of birthday cards? I can't be! No matter how many I make I always feel like I need more. So I made it my mission to make birthday cards whenever I can with all the amazing products that come across my desk! And guess what's on my desk today? Yummy inks and a gorgeous stencil from InkOn3!









I love the Flora Stencil! This cluster of flowers is so big you can use it as a focal point on a card ... so I did! I lined up the stencil so that it would be in the center of my card and blended on some Atelier Inks. The colors are so happy and vibrant! And the sentiment totally pops off the card!






I made yellow flowers for my first card. They're my favorite kind of flowers! I fully believe that every flower should be yellow haha! I didn't take the time to mask off the Flora Stencil before I started blending - but you could! I'm just way too lazy for that! First I blended Goddess Green Atelier Ink where the leaves are. I was careful not to blend onto the petals of the leaves. You can see the ink got onto the corners of the petals in some areas, but I'm not perfect! I added some Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to the center of the flowers and Bee Sting all over the petals. I got a little heavy handed with my Marilyn Red Atelier Ink, so I just blended it out with the Bee Sting. This turned the center color a pretty orangey/red! I love how you can blend and layer these Atelier Inks!






I created my second card the same way as I did the first. Almost. Instead of a portrait card I decided to do a landscape style. And I switched up my ink colors! For a fun twist I used Peacock Blue for the leaves, Bee Sting for the centers of the flowers, and My Jam Purple for the petals. I was careful not the blend My Jam Purple into the Bee Sting ink - but even in the areas where I overlapped a bit it didn't make a muddy brown color. Yay for Atelier Inks! Once each card was blended I used some Liquid Pixie Dust ( which I keep in a Small Watercolor Brush ) to add amazing shimmer to the flowers and leaves.






The Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set has a bunch of sentiments. But what's awesome is that they are separate so you can build them to say what you need! I used Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink to stamp "happy birthday" onto black cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. I trimmed the sentiments into strips and added them to the center of the Flora Stencil clusters with foam tape. And there you have it! Two quick, beautifully bright, stenciled birthday cards!

Thinking of You Flora Stenciled Card by Ilda


Hello, my friends, Ilda here!

Today I have a super simple card to share with you featuring the new FLORA Stencil from Ink On 3's April Release. I love that Fleurette is coming out with stencils as ink blending is so popular right now and fun to do. Plus they pair perfectly with the Atelier Inks.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I masked off the leaf areas of the image and then began ink blending. I used PEACOCK BLUE on the outer petals and then ATELIER MY PURPLE JAM ink on the inside petals of the flowers.


I then removed the masks and blended the ATELIER GODDESS GREEN ink on the leaves.


Once the ink was completely dry I stamped out the sentiment from the WATER LILY stamp set using JUICY INK and then heat set it using BLACK AS NIGHT EMB. P.


To embellish the card I added some green and blue pearls, trimmed the card panel, and popped it up using foam tape onto the card base.

I hope this simple Thinking of You card has inspired you today. This would make a great card to send a friend who you are thinking about these days. Please stay safe everyone!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Fox and Bunny Hugs - New Release

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s stamp set named Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set along with the Leafy Forest stencil. These two are part of the new release and there's a bundle on sale right now, which you can find here




Also, today is the last day for the 25% sale that Ink on 3 is having in conjunction with the Spread Joy, Not Germs blog hop. Use the code: SPREADJOYNOTGERMS for 25% on the Ink on 3 site. 

I have a video for these two cards but generally for both my cards, I decided to use Atelier Inks re-inkers mixed with some shimmer paste, specifically Goddess Green and Bee Sting Yellow with the Leafy Forest stencil. I had leftovers of the shimmer paste mixture so I added the excess a second card. 




I colored up the Fox and Bunny Hugs main image stamped in the Blackout ink and Fadeout ink so I could do a normal coloring and no-line coloring. I wanted to create two different looks for the cards. 




If you're interested in all the steps for how these cards came together, come by the YouTube channel for the full process video HERE

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!

Planning with Fox & Bunny and other new Inkon3 goodies!

Inkon3 sneaked in some new products and they're pretty awesome! I'll show you how I used the adorable new Fox and Bunny stamps, and the new Leafy Forest Stencil in my planner!
  

First I masked around the rectangle on the bottom of my planner pages and applied Atelier Ink Bee Sting Yellow with a blending tool. Leaving the mask on, overlay the Leafy Forest Stencil over the yellow rectangle and stencil in the leaf pattern using the Atelier Ink Marigold Orange.

On the left page of my planner, I masked around the left-most rectangle, and applied the Marigold Orange Atelier Ink with a blending tool. Then I stamped the month onto the orange background.




Next, I stamped the large image from the Fox & Bunny Hugs Clear stamp set, and the small Fox & Bunny from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set onto sticker paper. I fussy cut the images and then colored it in with copic markers. Then I adhered the stamps as shown in the pictures above.


Lastly, I used the leaf silhouette stamp and then three dots from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set to add some accents around the little Fox curled up with the bunny.

Copic Colors Used:
Fox (Oranges): YR68, Y38, Y35, Y32
Fox (White): W1, W0, W000
Bunny: E53, E51, E50, E000

Encouragement Card with Atelier Inks and the New Release

Hiiiii!!! I've been keeping a HUGE secret! I've joined the InkOn3 design team and I'm SO excited! Honestly I wanted to join this AMAZING team a while ago, but the timing wasn't right for me. AND NOW IT IS!! Ahhhhh!!! So let's jump right in to my first project!









I started with the NEW Leafy Forest Stencil. It's so detailed with leafy goodness! I sprayed the back with Pixie Spray and adhered it onto the front of my card and blended on some Atelier Inks. This is my VERY FIRST TIME using these inks and they are even more AMAZING than I thought they would be! They are so thick and creamy and wonderful! And I got all of this color with just 3 inks! I used Marilyn Red, Bee Sting, and Peacock Blue - the primary colors - and I made sure to overlap them to get the orange, green, and purple colors. I love that you can blend these inks together to get even more colors!






Once my background was done I thought it needed a bit more oomph. I keep some Liquid Pixie Dust in a Small Watercolor Brush, so I flicked some all over my background for subtle shine and texture. But of course that wasn't enough! I smooshed some Paint it Black Atelier Ink onto my work surface, added a bit of water, and spattered the ink onto my background.






The new Fox and Bunny stamp set is adorable! And perfect for sending a paper hug during these questionable times. I stamped the image and the sentiment onto white cardstock using Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink. This ink has been a staple in my craft room for quite some time! I love that it stamps crisp and black and you can use a variety of coloring mediums with it. I cleaned off my stamps with an Ink Off Cloth and the NEW Ink Off Stamp Cleaner. This cleaner is so fun! It comes in a stamp pad and it cleans BEAUTIFULLY!






I colored my image with Spectrum Noir Triblend alcohol markers and cut it out with scissors. I popped it up onto my card with foam tape and added a coating of Liquid Pixie Dust to the fox and bunny.






That completes my card! I hope you love this first project for InkOn3! You can head over to the InkOn3 shop to pick up these AMAZING products! I'll see you soon!
