Christmas in July Poinsettia Card

It's no secret that I LOVE all things winter and Christmas! I get so happy when July comes around because it gives me an excuse to share Christmas cards again! 

I wanted to have bold images against a wintery background, so I placed a snowflake stencil over a piece of black cardstock and used Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink to create the background for my card. For a bit more interest I spattered on some Liquid Pixie Dust. I love how easy it can be to create a magical background! 

I stamped out flowers, leaves, and twigs from the Poinsettia Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating Poinsettia Die Set. I arranged them onto my background with foam tape for dimension. I wanted a simple sentiment that wouldn't take away from the background and bright images, so I stamped a sentiment from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set with Juicy Watermark Emboss Ink and heat set it with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. 

No Christmas card is complete without adding even more shimmer so I covered my colored images with Liquid Pixie Dust! Now they sparkle and shine and make my heart so happy! Thanks so much for joining me! 

Gerbera Daisy Stamped Background

I have fallen head over heels in LOVE with white pigment ink stamped backgrounds! I used the new Gerbera Daisy Stamp Set from InkOn3 to make this card that's sure to bring a bit of encouragement! 

I started by using Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink to stamp the flower images from the Gerbera Daisy Stamp Set all over a piece of black cardstock. The Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink is so bright and vibrant! You just can't beat it! I wanted more texture in the background so I watered down some of the same Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink and spattered it onto my background. 

I stamped more of the Gerbera Daisy flowers and greenery using Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and colored them with Copic Markers then trimmed them out with my scissors. I added them with foam tape onto my stamped background. I stamped a sentiment from the Here for You Stamp Set with Juicy Watermark Emboss Ink and heat embossed it with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. 

I sure hope you'll try stamping in white to build a background! See you soon!

Little Birdie - No Line Coloring

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s stamp set named Little Birdie stamp set. Last month, I used this stamp set in a non-wintery way; it ended up being more like a springtime card.

I stamped out the images using Fadeout Ink and did some no line coloring. I wanted a wintery scene for this card so I went with a red flower along with blue flowers. 

For the background, I mixed some My Jam Purple and Peacock Blue reinkers to create this darker blue color. I did an ombre watercolor wash on a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper with some Shark Tooth White splatter, which almost made the scene wintery. 

I just love how this card turned out! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

New Atelier Inks - Inspiration Week, Day 6: 3 Different Cards

Every day, we'll be sharing projects here on the blog so make sure you visit us daily for new projects and inspiration. Also, if you leave a comment on this blog post, you'll have a chance to win a $25 gift card. We will announce the winner between November 7-10. 

At the end of the week, we will be having an instagram hop on October 30, 2020 and we'll be giving away THREE $25 gift cards. Keep your eyes peeled! Be sure to visit us over on Instagram to leave a comment for a chance to win. 

For today's blog post, we have Ilda and Ceal each sharing a fun project. 

For my card today, Ilda wanted to showcase how these colors blended and fit into the rainbow. So of course she had to make a rainbow card (my favorite kind). She began by blending out SWEET PETUNIA, MARILYN RED, MARIGOLD ORANGE, BEE STING YELLOW, GODDESS GREEN, TRINITY TEAL, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM Atelier Inks onto a piece of Bristol paper. She then sprayed the background with water and picked up the water droplets with a paper towel.

Once the paper was dry, she used an antistatic powder bag to prepare the paper for embossing. Then she stamped out the inside details of the butterfly wings from the SHINE BRIGHT set using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it by adding some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

Next, she stamped the outer image of the butterfly using BLACKOUT INK. To the inside of each butterfly, she then painted on some LIQUID PIXIE DUST.

To finish off this colorful card, she stamped the sentiment onto a black banner once again using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it using some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

------- 

For Ceal's project, she used the BeYoutiful stamp set along with the new inks. She ink blended the background and then used some water to splatter. Atelier Inks are water reactive, so you can create a fun textured background. 

Don't you love when the colors blend together? It creates such a nice hue! 

--------------------------

We also have Erica on the blog sharing TWO last gorgeous cards. Here's here thoughts! 

It's Erica on the Ink On 3 blog today with a couple of cards made with the stunning new Atelier Ink colours Trinity Teal and Sweet Petunia Pink. If you haven't seen any of the other posts this week, with all the projects from the DT, make sure you check them out too! 

I love water colouring with my re-inkers so I decided to do some ombre backgrounds to really let each colour be the star of the card.

Each piece was done by simply swooshing the colours back and forth on water colour paper, starting with clean water first. Then going from bottom towards the top, letting the colour fade to get that ombre look. I'm such a fan of ombre, it's such a fab way to see the different shades you can get from one single colour. 

I did use my heat tool to speed up the drying, as I did several layers of the colours to get a really deep colour at the bottom. To adhere these to white card bases I used LOTS of glue, and I also let them dry with a MISTI on top, to keep them flat. When they were totally dry, I splattered them both with gold water colours to add a bit of extra pizzazz! 

To finish off the cards I used the light string from the brand new Crafty Meriaki collaboration set, Shine Bright, as well as a sentiment from it. The lights were coloured in with yellow Copics and then I added some Glossy Accents to make them look more 3D. 

The pink card I thought would look cute as a love note, so I stamped 'You stole my heart' in Blackout Detail ink, from the Racoon Hugs. It needed a little something extra, which was solved by die cutting the 'kisses' from Bad & Boujee diecuts four times in white card stock. These were layered up and then simply added to the card at the bottom. 

I love the fact that with a gorgeous background, you don't need a ton of other stuff to make a card full of impact. 

That's it from me but I hope you like the cards and found some inspiration here with me today!

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

For today's blog post, we have Lynnea and Ricky sharing a fun project. 

Check out Ricky's video he made using the new Atelier inks: 

Lynnea is also here to share her fabulous card using the new inks. 

Her card today features some pretty ink blending with the new Sweet Petunia Pink and Trinity Teal Atelier Inks. Her thoughts: 

I just love the new colors of Atelier Ink! I wanted to show both of them off since they pair so well. I masked off the top portion of my card and blended on Sweet Petunia Pink Atelier Ink onto the bottom portion of my card. These Atelier Inks blend so smoothly! They're just gorgeous. I moved my masking tape to cover the bottom of my card and started working on the top portion. I blended the Trinity Teal Atelier Ink in quarter of an inch strips with half an inch of white space separating them. This is such a simple masked design, but I just love it! I kept the masking tape in place over the pink bottom and added some black ink spatters to the top for more texture. 

I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp the cute little peeking kitty and party hat from the Purr-ific Kitty Cats Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers. I trimmed around the outside of the images with my scissors leaving a small white border. I adhered them onto my card with foam tape so that he would be peeking over the pink "edge" of my card and added a stamped sentiment below the image. 

I thought I had a bit too much Sweet Petunia Pink blended at the bottom of my card and the balance was off, so I trimmed down my panel and added it onto a white card base. A bit of Liquid Pixie Dust on my little kitty finishes the card! 

She also has a video for you today as well:
