Sending BeYOUtiful Hugs

 

Hello friends!

It's Ceal, here. 

Today I a sharing a card I made using the BeYOUtiful set.  I love creating backgrounds with stamps and the large flower in this set makes it super easy. 

To create this card I started with a with a white top folding card base, a black panel and a panel of watercolor paper.  I randomly stamped the large flower with our Juicy Embossing ink and embossed them with clear powder.

 Next I used our Atelier re-inkers which are awesome to watercolor with to loosely watercolor them.  The colors I used are Sweet Petunia Pink, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, My Jam Purple and Trinity Teal. 

I love how vibrant they are!

Monochrome Roses Card

 Hi everyone! It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 creative team here to show you a quick and simple monochrome card! Not only do I love the look of monochromatic cards, but because the color palette is so simple, it's a pretty quick color!

First, I stamped out the Triple Rose Clear Stamp onto white card stock and then fussy cut it out. Then using a paper trimmer, I cut the image in half. 

Next, I cut out a sheet of black card stock down to 4"x5.5" and then die cut the sentiment "THANKS" out of the center. Then I adhered the black card stock onto a 4"x5.5" card base, I also glued the small "triangle" piece of the letter A onto the card base. Adhere one half of the roses on the top of the card, and the other half on the bottom of the card. I added a strip of Washi tape on the bottom for a little extra accent.

Lastly, color the roses with copic markers as listed below, or your choice of coloring medium.

Embossing Elegance

 

Hello Friends! 

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using the Holiday Wreath set.  I stamped it using the Juicy Embossing ink and then heat embossed it using the Gold Rush embossing powder.  I love her embossing powders, they melt so evenly. 

I used Copic markers to color the berries and the leaves. 

Coloring With Ink Blending

 Ink blending with Atelier Inks is such a quick way to add color to images! 

I love when small stamp sets go a long way! The Here for You Stamp Set is a mini set with the most gorgeous floral image and small sentiments. I stamped the image with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and heat embossed it with Crystal Clear Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I used Marilyn Red Atelier Ink and Goddess Green Atelier Inks to blend color onto the image and cut it out with my scissors. I masked off the edges of a card and added a bit of Black Glitz Glitter Gel over a polka dot stencil and popped up my flower on top. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Here for You Stamp Set with Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with Arctic White Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I trimmed the sentiment out into a strip and added it to the card with foam tape. That's it! Thanks for joining me!

Spring Bucket List Planner Layout

 Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 Creative team here to show you how I made this fun Spring bucket list pages in my bullet journal! I find that making these kinds of lists helps you from feeling like you're in a rut, and it definitely helps if the pages are adorable!

First I stamped the images from the Lil Chicks Clear stamp set onto my page as shown in the pictures. Then I stamped the word "Spring", from the Phat Alphanumeric Clear Stamp Set, onto the page. Next, I used a ruler to frame/box the text and the page.

Once all the images are dry, mask off all of the stamped images and frames/boxes. Stencil in a background with your choice of stencils and ink.

Remove the masks, and color in the stamped images with your choice of coloring medium. (Tip: If you'd like to color with alcohol markers, it is best to stamp and color onto sticker pages and then fussy cut the images. Then add to your planner pages!)

Lastly, stamp in or doodle your bucket list items into the white space of the page and color the icons with your choice of coloring mediums. Isn't this bucket list so cute?!

Easy Atelier Ink Watercolor Background

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Here's a simple Atelier Ink watercolored background for you! 

I started by smooshing a few different colors of Atelier Ink onto my glass work surface and then watercolored small hearts all over my background. I kept the circles loose and easy without any real shading. Just a simple and colorful background! 

I used a fine tip Sharpie and drew small hearts into each circle and then spattered the background with black watercolor. 

I finished the card by adding a few sentiment strips from the LDRS Creative Love Wave Stack with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink!

Stolen My Heart

 

Hello Friends!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a valentines card with you using the Raccoon Hugs set. 

To create this card, I started with a top folding white card base and a white Heavystock distress panel. 

To create the background I put down some Sweet Petunia Pink ink on a craft mat, spritzed with water and then smooshed the panel of heavystock in it until I achieved a look I was pleased with. 

I stamped the raccoon aka trash panda on a piece of white cardstock, colored him and then cut him out with the coordinating dies and popped him up on the pink panel. 

Holiday Wreath Bird Card

I love versatile stamps! The Holiday Wreath Stamp Set from InkOn3 is great for all kinds of cards and occasions! 

This card is so simple, but I love the colors and how it turned out! I stamped the wreath from the Holiday Wreath with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and used the layering stamps to fill in the leaves and berries of the wreath. I used Goddess Green Atelier Ink, Bee Sting Yellow Atelier Ink, and Peacock Blue Atelier Inks to create a spring/summertime wreath. 

I wanted to keep that springy feel with the Love Birds Stamp Set, so I stamped the outlines with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and used the layering images with Trinity Teal, Bee Sting Yellow, and Sweet Petunia Pink Atelier Inks. I love how quick it is to add color to these birds! I added the sentiment to the center of my wreath and spattered some pink shimmer watercolor all over my background for texture. 

I trimmed out my birds and popped them up with foam tape near the bottom of the wreath for some dimension. And that's it! Thanks for joining me! 

Shimmery Christmas Card

A little stamp layering with InkOn3 stamps and Atelier Inks and shimmer watercolors make a quick and easy Christmas card! 

I stamped the outlines of the birds from the Love Birds Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink repeatedly on my background until my cardstock was full of little birdies. I used the layering images for the birds and stamped them with Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to mimic the look of cardinals. There are layering stamps to fill in the tails and wings as well, but I decided to use some shimmer watercolor for a bit of sparkle. I added some gold watercolor spatters to finish off the background. 

I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Wreath Stamp Set three times with Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink and heat embossed with Gold Rush Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I trimmed each of the sentiments into small strips and popped them up near the top center of my card. 

Thanks so much for joining me! I hope you enjoyed this shimmery Christmas card! 

Merry Christmas, Deer!

Hello friends! 

It's Ceal, here.  Today I am sharing a card using one of my favorite stamps from Ink On 3. 

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of white cardstock for the image. I stamped the image deer from Oh Deer with Blackout ink, colored it using alcohol markers and then cut it out with the Coordinating Die.

Next I stamped the lights and the ornaments, also colored with alcohol markers and cut with the dies. 

To finish the card I added some glossy accents to the ornaments and lights and then added the Merry Christmas die cut from Picket Fence Studios 

 

Love Birds Planner Pages

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm going to go back to my roots and start creating planner layouts from scratch again! I like starting off with some dot grid pages because it provides some points of references, but from a distance, you can hardly notice that the pages has a grid at all! The planner layout below is for a B6 ring planner, but you can adjust the boxes to whatever planner you like to use!

The daily boxes are 1.5" wide, which is standard for most planners, the top rectangle is 1.5" high and the width to match the three daily boxes. 

First, I masked off around the large top rectangle. Then I used a blender brush and applied the Bee-Sting Yellow Atelier Ink to create a background. You can saturate the color on the sides to create an ombre look.  Leaving the mask on, stamp the birds, and feathers from the Love Birds Clear Stamp Set. I also used a vine from the Holiday Wreath Clear Stamp Set. With a red pen, draw little hearts in random open spaces.

Remove the mask, and then use date stamps or stickers for each day of the week. Stamp a calendar on the lower left hand corner of the left planner page. Then add some washi tape to the bottom for a little more deco!

Isn't this such a fun and pretty layout!?

Easy Masking with Dies

I love easy techniques and I have an easy masked background to share with you! I used Atelier Inks and some Reverse Confetti stamps and dies for this wintery card. 

I stamped a bunch of snowflakes all over my card with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and then used the coordinating die set to cut masks for each image from masking paper. 

I placed the masks over the stamped images and then pulled out some Atelier Inks to blend over my background. I started with My Jam Purple at the bottom, Trinity Teal in the middle, and Sweet Petunia Pink at the top. I added some spatters of shimmer watercolor and removed the masks. I love the look! The masks leave a sort of 'halo' around the stamped images that's so fun! 

I planned to make this a one layer card, but I forgot to stamp a sentiment when I was stamping the snowflakes, so I stamped one onto white cardstock, trimmed it out, and popped it up onto my card. 

Thanks so much for joining me! I'll see you soon! 

NEW RELEASE! | Faux Watercolor with Atelier Ink Cubes

There's a new release from InkOn3 and I used one of the new stamp sets and some Atelier Ink Cubes to create an Autumn themed faux watercolored card. 

The new Thankful For You Stamp Set has solid and outline leaves that you can use together or separately. I lined up the solid images on my card using my Misti and inked them up with Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow Atelier Ink Cubes. I spritzed them with a bit of water and stamped them onto my card giving me a faux watercolor look. 

I stamped the outlines with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink but I offset them to add to the whimsy of the background. I added some flicks of gold watercolor to fill in any empty spaces. 

I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp a sentiment from the Thankful For You Stamp Set, cut it into strips, and lined the bottom with red cardstock and popped up the strips with foam tape to finish the card. Thanks for joining me! 

Thankful for You

 

Hello Everyone! 

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using the Hey Gorgeous set and the Thankful for You set that just released. 

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base and a white panel. I stamped the image using Blackout ink and colored it using alcohol markers. I stamped the  image again on some patterned paper and fussy cut out the hat and then added some of the leaves from the Thankful for You set to the hat. 

To finish the card I added a sentiment. 

Until next time Happy Stamping!

Just Breathe Encouragement Card - Rainbows with Atelier Inks

Hello, again my friends, Ilda here 👋

I am back with a card I created as part of a collaboration Hop between Inkon3 and Penguin Palace Stamps which is happening over on👉 Instagram. 

We teamed up to celebrate the Penguin Palace's 3rd Anniversary! Still plenty of time to join.  You can hop along with us on Instagram for your chance to win one of two $25 gift cards (one to the Ink on 3 store and one to the Penguin Palace store). The hop will end on November 7 @ 11:59 PM PDT.

Here is how this card came together.

• Stamp the Legend of The Koi fish first using the outline stamp with Blackout Ink onto Bristol Paper.
• Next line up the detail stamp layer over the fish you just stamped out, this time use Fadeout Ink. 
• Watercolor in the images by using  Sweet Petunia, Bee Sting Yellow, and Peacock Blue Atelier Inks. Overlap the colors to create the rainbow blend.
• To add sparkle I added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust over the painted layer.
• I then used the coordinating Legend of the Koi - Penguin Perfect Cuts to die cut the fish.
• On another piece of white cardstock, I used the same inks I used above to watercolor but this time to ink blend and create a rainbow area. 
• Stamp the Breathe Stamp from the Words From The Heart (Chapter 1) stamp set over the rainbow blended spot using Blackout Ink.
• Die-cut the Breathe using the Words From The Heart Coordinating Cuts.
• Glue the Breathe sentiment to the card front.
• Pop the fish in place using foam tape. For an added layer of thickness, I glued the fish onto another die-cut piece.
• Finish the card by adding a few bubble embellishments.

Hope this Just Breathe Encouragement Card inspired you today and reminds you that it is ok to take a break, stop, relax, do nothing and just Breathe. Especially with all that is going on in the world right now, it's OK! People are more understanding than you realize because after all we all need and deserve a break from time to time😉

GOURD-GEOUS Gratitude Journal Page

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 Creative Team here to show you a quick and easy way to dress up a gratitude journal! 

Since I will be using these pages for my November gratitude, I used the Pumpkin Patch Clear Stamp set. Isn't it perfect for Fall Vibes?  

First, I stamped the pumpkins onto sticker paper using the Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink, then I colored using the copic colors listed below. Next, I fussy cut the image.

To add a little bit more depth and dimension to the pages, I added some ink to two corners of my journal page. I used a blender brush and applied some Atelier Ink in Bee Sting Yellow on two opposite corners of the page. Then with another blender brush, I applied some Atelier Ink in Marigold Orange on the same corner, concentrating the color in the inner corners. Blend the colors more by layering the Bee-Sting Yellow ink to create a smooth transition to the colors, creating an ombre effect.

Lastly, adhere the Pumpkins onto the planner page and then use the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp the sentiment "Grateful For your Kindness" on the lower right-hand corner.

Layered Ornaments Card Set with Atelier Inks

It may the end of October, but the Holidays will be here before you know it! I used a layering stencil set from Pretty Pink Posh along with my InkOn3 Atelier Inks and some ThermOWeb Glitz Glitter Gel and created a quick set of Holiday cards! 

This card set was really quick to pull together and I love that you can customize your backgrounds to make whatever colors you want!

I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Ornaments Stencil Set along with my Atelier Inks and created four backgrounds. I used Marilyn Red, Goddess Green, Sweet Petunia Pink, and Trinity Teal Atelier Inks to create my baubles. 

I moved on to the second layer of the stencil set and first blended Bee Sting Yellow Atelier Ink and then a bit of Twiggy Brown Atelier Ink over the yellow to create a golden yellow ornament topper. Perfect! 

You could stop here and you would have some really cute inked cards, but the Layered Ornaments Stencil Set comes with a detail layer! I debated adding ink over the top for a quicker set of cards, but I really wanted some glitter! I broke out my Silver Glitz Glitter Gel and added glitter accents to each of the baubles. I'm really happy with how the silver looks with the bold ink colors! 

I wanted simple but elegant sentiments for each of my cards, so I stamped the Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Scripts Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and used the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiments. I pieced together sentiments and added them to each of the cards with foam tape. 

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card set! The bold Atelier Inks were perfect for these ornaments! See you soon!
