Snow Buddies, You Warm My Heart Valentine Cards

Hello Friends,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying some Holiday time with your Families!

I'm back today with a few cards featuring Ink On 3's newest Stamp Set Snow Buddies! How cute are these little guys?! 😍

Since I wanted to make multiples of these cards I kept the design really simple.
To create the heart stencil, I used a large post-it note and folded the paper in half, then cut out my heart. I used the negative of the paper and distress inks to blend out the heart on the front panel of each of the cards. I then added some pen detail around each one of the hearts for fun. Once the ink was dry I stamped out my sentiment and heat set them with embossing powder. I used same stitched rectangle die to cut the panels. For the Snow Buddies, I did some stamp masking. I first stamped out the smaller image and then covered it with a mask and then stamped the larger image.  I then used spectrum noir markers to do some really simple coloring.

Here are a few close up of these adorable critters.

I think these seals are my favorite, I especially love how they kinda form the shape of a heart!

To add a bit of dimension to the cards I popped up the image as well as the front panels with foam tape and added glossy accents to their eyes, nose and their little stamped hearts.

On the inside of the cards I finished them with a sentiment from the Lilac Dreams Stamp Set.

Don't forget to take advantage of the FREE Shipping + Coordinating collections are also 20% off!

Hope you were inspired by my card creations today and can't wait to see what you all design with the Snow Buddies Set! I think these cards will make the cutest cards for Valentine's Day, or even Mother's or Father's Day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)

Mariner Mermaid Card by Ilda

Hello friends, Ilda here again taking over Fleurette's Blog!

So have you ever seen a sexier mermaid stamp?! I sure haven't... Wowzers 😜

This beauty comes from Ink On 3's latest release! For this card, I didn't want to stamp the mermaid in black ink and I really didn't want to do a no line watercoloring. So I thought I would experiment by stamping the image out using frayed burlap oxide ink and I love the results. The stamped line once it came in contact with the watercolors oxidized and lightened the lines giving it a semi no line watercolor look. 

To color the mermaid in, I used my Tombow Dual brush markers. Once she was dry I then fussy cut the entire image out. This is a fairly large stamp so it wasn't as difficult as it looks but I did need the help of my retractable PenBlade.

To create the background I wet the paper and then lightly touched the wet areas with Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. These colors are so vibrant a little goes a long way. Just before the area dried I then used my distress spray bottle to splash and spread the ink around. I repeated that a few times with different colors, using by heat tool to help speed up the drying process. Once the entire background was done and dry I sprayed the background again this time picking up the droplets with paper towel.

To finish the card I then attached some jewelry chain to the anchor and used a metal wire to secure it to the top of the card panel, bending and taping the wire to the back to secure it in place. I then attached it to the A2 sized cardbase. I did not glue the mermaid down as I wanted her to swing freely on the front of the card. (see previous image)

Here is a closer look at the details 😍

Hope you were inspired by this Mariner Mermaid Card today.

Hi Everyone! I'm so happy to be here and look forward to sharing my projects 

using Fleurette Bloom’s original SVG files, printables and digital papers.

Here is a Valentine Decor project I created using Fleurette’s Dia De Los Muertos 3D Kit.

I started out with a 10.25" x 8.5" chalkboard from Walmart. 

Here’s what you'll need:

I opened the banner file in my Silhouette Designer Edition. I ungrouped and deleted the border elements. I sized it to fit my chalkboard and cut out of vinyl on my Cameo. Weed out the areas you want to paint using the Xacto Knife.

I transfered to the chalkboard using transfer tape and added blue painters tape to cover up my frame. Paint the exposed areas with the foam brush and use a fine brush for the tight areas.  Use a small amount of acrylic paint and dab on for a chalk effect.

After it dries remove the tape and vinyl. (this is the fun part!)

I painted the frame with a light coat of white acrylic so the wood grain shows through. Cut the Small Rosettes from Fleurette Bloom's Lush Flowers 3D SVG Collection. I used the tweezers to hold the end and wrapped the paper to form the rosette. I secured with a glue gun and added colored pearls.

I hope you enjoyed my project. I am very excited and honored to be on the team.
