Partial die cutting

Hi...

Friends...

Recently I realised that I have bought many things which I have not used till date. Things which I bought at the beginning were left out always. So thought I will use them and make a card. 

SO here is my card. I used a die and with partial die cutting method ( I always watend to try this technique but I never did ) I made the flaps so that the reciever can open and see the message inside. I made two mat pieces for inside so tht message can be written on innermost layer.

To match the inside of the card with outside I stamped the image with inkadinkado stamp which happens to be my first stamp set which i bought and never used.

So here is the card

Kraft + White pigment ink

Hi...

Off lately i have fallen love with white pigment ink on kraft card stock. It started with running short of white card bases n ended with these kraft cards.

I used Altenew Hennah element stamp set and Hero arts white unicorn ink for the card. I stamped elements on lower portion of the card base and then cut it out with SSS die. I adhered the big pieces on front of the card base with foam tape and stamped sentiment with same ink. I adhered the remaining stamped piece inside the card.

Its a top folding card

Kraft card stock + White pigment ink

Hi...

Here I am with simple and quick cards. I made these cards for Muse challenge .

The inspiration card so fun that I ended up doing two cards with same layout.
 For first card I used SSS stamp set. I stamped the half image with Khaki ink and the other half with white pigment ink. Stamped sentiment with memento ink.

I got inspired by the layout of the inspiration card. The inspiration card had pop of red colour so I used black to pop as my card base was kraft.
The white and khaki colours were subtle so to add another colour I stamped sentiment with black which could stand out yet is in harmony with other colours.

Made the other card with same design. I used clearly besotted stamp for this.

Stencil + Glitter

Hi...

Friends...

This card was a mess and ended in mess. I used a stencil to make the background and then die cut a window. For sentiment I used technique tuesday die and die cut with red card stock. 

I adhered few layers of it for dimension. Used foam squares to adhered the panel on the front of the card base then glued the sentiment inside the window. Then i applied glossy accents on top of sentiment. I preserved the positive space of die cut for another card. It was my first time with this technique and messed a little bit.

Vintage roses - Birthday card

Hi...

Friends...

Here I am with vintage roses again. This time I am using Altenew crisp inks. I must say these inks for sure will increase confidence of a beginner specially in layered stamping. 

Earlier I had used distress inks which gave water coloured effect ( you can look at that post here Altenew vintage roses ).

This time I made the card heat embossing. 

I stamped all layers with Altenew inks and the last or inner most layer i stamped with versa mark n heat embossed with gold. I fussy cut the flowers (which is easy to cut). 

Then i die cut a rectangular shape with SSS rectangular stitched die, stamped sentiment (which is from altenew) n gold heat embossed it.

 I alsogold heat embossed a strip of card stock.

Then assembled the card.

Faux water colouring

Hi...

Friends...

Here I am with two cards. I had planned to make one card but was confused and while discussing with a friend felt like doing two cards and here they are.

For both the cards I used same stamp.

Card one - Faux water colouring

I am not at all good at water colouring so faux colouring comes in handy for me. I used CB elegant butterfly set. I chose the biggest butterfly as my plan was something else.
I inked the stamp n before stamping sprayed with water few times. I cut another strip of water colour paper n applied same colours to match the butterflies.
Then stamped the sentiment.
