Fun Spring Tags using Atelier Inks

Hi everyone! It's Cheryl with Inkon3's Creative Team here to show you some adorable tags using Atelier Inks to make fun and colorful backgrounds!

Spring is just around the corner and Inkon3 has some really adorable Spring themed stamps! For the project I'm sharing I'll be showcasing the Lil Chicks and Biker Bunnies Stamp sets.

First, I die cut some tags, tag reinforcements, and banner using white card stock.  Then I used Atelier inks to add color to the tags. For one tag I used Bee Sting Yellow, for the other tag I used Peacock Blue, and for the last tag I used Marigold Orange. For the tag reinforcements and the banner for the sentiments I used Marilyn Red, Goddess Green, and My Jam Purple for each one.

Next, I stamped out the three chicks from the Lil Chicks stamp set using Inkon3's Blackout Waterproof Detail Ink. Then I colored the chicks using copic markers, and then fussy cut the images.

Once the tags are thoroughly dried, I create a background using the small stamps in the Biker Bunnies Stamp set. I used Marilyn Red on the Marigold Orange tag, Godess Green on the Bee Sting Yellow tag, and My Jam Purple on the Peacock Blue tag.

On the banners, stamp some sentiments using Juicy Clear Embossing ink, then sprinkle some Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing powder and heat set. Adhere the banners and tag reinforcements matching the same color as the small stamped images on the tags, trim off any excess banner. Lastly adhere the cute little chickies onto the tag.

Copic Colors Used:

Yellows: Y000, Y00, Y02, Y21

Oranges: Y35, Y38

Simple Sweet Posies Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 creative team here to share a sweet and simple card using the Posies stamp set. 

I stamped the water pitcher, stem, and posies using the Fadeout No Line Coloring Detail ink onto white card stock. I love how the ink fades away, meaning no need to mask! I simply stamped where I wanted the flowers, and colored the flowers in! Once the image was colored, I fussy cut the stamped and colored image.

Copic Colors Used:

Pinks: R81, RV00, V0000

Blues: B0000, B000, B00

Blue-Greens: BG10, BG000

Greens: G43, G40, G24, G20

 

Next, I die-cut a few scalloped squares, one large square and two small ones. I used distress inks to add color to each of the squares. Then I used some water to activate the inks to give some subtle details to the background. 

Then I cut out a large scalloped rectangle using beige patterned paper. I chose beige so that it doesn't overpower the soft no-line colored image.

I then heat embossed the sentiment "You're the Best" onto the large square and then assembled the card. I adhered the large scalloped rectangle onto the base of the card. Then I adhered one small scalloped square on opposite corners of the larger rectangle. Next, I adhered the large square over the two smaller square. Once all the squares have been placed onto the card, I adhered the colored in image of the Posies in the glass pitcher.  Lastly I used some Nuvo jewel drops to add a few clear drops onto the card.

I hope you liked this tutorial! <3

Hello Crafty Friends... Mitsyana Wright here!!

And I'm back again with Fleurette Bloom Stamps... whom has just asked me to be a part of their Design Team!!! Eeeeeek!! How cool is that??!!

I don't know about you but hearing great news like that always make me feel loved! And I've been in a very lovey-dovey type of mood lately... lots of warm fuzzies!

And what says love better than red roses...I think roses are very romantic, by the way!

 So, I made this simple, elegant, and "tres romantique" card using Fleurettes new Roses in Bloom set.

Roses in Bloom

I started by stamping my image a total of three times. 

Next, I colored them  and I added highlights using a white gel pen.

I cut out two of the images by hand, and the third I die cut using a stitched circle die. Then embossed the die cut with an embossing folder.

I added foam adhesive to the back of the flowers and layered them onto each other for more dimension and removed one of the flowers for the very top layer.

I used this light green paper  and created a A7 (5"x 7" folded) sized card base.

Then die cut printed text paper  using a stitched rectangle die. 

I used a tape runner to attach my rectangle to the front of my card base.

I used the same circle die from earlier and traced around the outside diameter of the die as a template. Then hand cut out the traced shape and layered it under my paper pieced roses.

I added foam tape under the circle for more dimension then adhered it to my card front.

I die cut a pennant and the letters XOXO and adhered the little flag to the card, slightly tucking it behind the circle.

Lastly, I added a heart shaped cabochon using a clear quick dry adhesive.

You can really see all the added dimension with all the different layers (above picture).

Finished Card

I really hope you enjoyed my project for today and that it filled you with 

a bit of love, a little romance, or even some heartfelt inspiration.

Wishing you lots of hugs, kisses, & Valentine Wishes,

Mitsy

I made this card using FB Stamps' Let it Snow stamps set!!

I love how elegant the Merry Christmas sentiment is in this set!! I love it so much I made it the focal point for my card!!

I stamped this image with an VersaFine Onyx Black ink and colored in the image with my Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

The scroll borders were aso die cuts. I cut out 2 pieces then I attached them together using a glue pen. Then, I attached the joined piece onto the card with clear liquid adhesive.

I added Petaloo flowers & holly leaves. I also added berries I purchased from Dollar Tree. I used a thick clear adhesive to attach the bigger embellishments to the card. You could also use hot glue for this.

More Gerbera Daisies! Using FBstamps Clear Stamps

Happy Thursday, Crafty Friends... It's fall and can you believe Thanksgiving is just in one week?!

Thanksgiving is the time of year to be thankful for all they have. For me, I am very thankful for family and friends! I appreciate each and everyone one of them. And though I try to show them I care everyday, sometimes life just get's in the way. I guess that's what I get for "adulting"... mommy & wifey duties, house chores, design team obligations... they all pile up! 

I'm making an active effort to let my loved ones know I appreciate & love them. 

Today is my first Guest DT post for FB stamps and I made this fall themed I love you card.

Supplies Used

Gerbera Daisy (FB Stamps)

Eileen Hull XL - Tea Cup Die 3D (Sizzix)

Chipboard

Whimsy Embossing Folder (Lifestyle Crafts)

Autumn Leaves Stack (DCWV)

3D Dots (EK Success)

PITT Artist Pen XS (Faber-Castell)

Chalklets(EK Success)

White Gel Pen (Sakura)

Glitter Enamel Dots

Hemp Twine

Scissors

I started by stamping my images in black ink onto mixed media paper. then, I colored the flowers with my Zig Markers in Yellow, Mustard, Beige,Dark Oatmeal, &  Brown and went over the centers with a clear glitter pen. I also colored the leaves in Mild Green, Olive green, & Deep Green. 

I fussy cut the flowers all the images out but if you are not great at fussy cutting or just want to save time FB Stamps have the cut files for all their stamps and the coordinating digi dies are FREE!!

I stamped doubles of the bigger blooms and cut off the outer row of petals. then layered it onto the bigger bloom with foam dots.

I wanted my flowers to be an arrangement and not just floating on the card... so, I used Eileen Hull's Tea Cup Die for the cup and the tag. I cut them from Chipboard then adhered my patterned paper onto them with my Creative Station Lite.

I shaded the edges with  abit of chalk in colors that were at least 2 shades darker than the paper.

 The little "I love You" stamp comes included with the Gerbera Daisies set.

In the picture above it looked cute it felt it was missing something...

So, I added some texture to the background with a bit of modeling paste and a stencil.

And cut out a band for my teacup and embossed it and added enamel glitter dots.

I traced around the cup and tags with an extra fine black pen and then added highlights with a white gel pen. I also went over the embossed area with the same black pan as well. 

Then finally, I finished it off with a button topped multi-looped twine bow.

Here is a close up of all the dimension in this card...

I am enjoying this stamp set very much and I'm looking forward to making more with it!!

I hope you all enjoyed today's card!!

Until next time...

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

Poppy Cards - Stamping and Masking to create different card designs

Hey Everyone, Ilda Here!

Today it is all about Poppy Cards created with one of Fleurette Bloom's latest Stamp sets Poppies.

I've been wanting to try masking to create my own unique designs and finally got the chance! This is a great way to make the most of a stamp especially if you are like me and just getting into stamping :) The mask was done by stamping my images on some Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper and then using my Silhouette PixScan mat, to cut the images out. Click HERE for previous tutorial on using the PixScan. 

For this card I also used her Happy Days Stamp Set. The images were stamped onto Nee nah Solar White 80lbs paper using Memento tuxedo black ink.  The Happy Birthday was stamped using Versafine Onyx black and then embossed and set with Wow! Regular Clear Gloss embossing powder. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to colour the images in (CR4, CR6, CT2, CT4, CG1,CG2). Then I used the Die-namics Wonky stitched Rectangle to frame it out. The card base is a landscape, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" mounted onto a black piece of cardstock cut to the same size. Finished by adding some sparkle by using some Clear Wink of Stella, and some sequins.

Isn't she pretty!? Never knew I could feel this way about a card, lol!

To the inside I added the smaller poppy to the bottom corner.

For those of you that like to watch You Tube videos, here is a video I put together of during the making of this card. If you haven't yet make sure you subscribe to my channel :)

And here is another card I made using similar techniques.

For this one I used the Rectangle Stitch Die from Simon Says, Spectrum Noir Markers (CR4, CR5, CG1, CG2, BT1), White Embossing powder, and some Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets.

For this next card I also used little butterfly from Fleurette Bloom's Thank You Stamp Set.

I also used the Spectrum Noir Markers CG1, CG2, OR1, OR2, OR3, CT4, and BT1. The Stitched Circle Die from Simon Says Stamp and a Script Embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. This Card base is a 5 1/2" Square.

Hope you have enjoyed my Poppy Cards and maybe even got a little inspired to create your own designs using the masking technique! If you do don't forget to share your creations on Fleurette Bloom's FB Page. We would love to see them :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
