Cardmaking Fantasy Flowers

Live Simply – Give Generously

September 28, 2021

Hi there,

It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you step-by-step how to create this flower Pocket card.

Step 1: Die-Cutting

  • die cut the pocket from the Planner Essentials 26 die set and some flowers from the Florals 2 and Florals 3 sets

Step 2: Adding Color

  • color the flowers and leaves with Alcohol Markers
  • add color to the pocket with acrylic paint – run it through your die cutting machine in an embossing folder for the extra woodgrain texture

Step 3: Assembly

  • adhere the pocket to a kraft cardbase sprinkled with acrylic paint and Distress Stain

Step 4: Finishing Touches

  • add yellow Craft Drops to the flower centers and a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker set

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Butterfly Art Journal Page

April 27, 2021

Hi there,

It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this Butterfly Art Journal Page:

Step 1: Creating the Background

  • apply Embossing Paste through the Waves stencil on a piece of watercolor paper and let this layer dry thoroughly
  • add color using pinks from the Watercolor Palette
  • ink up the edges with Distress Ink Black Soot and add some splatters with watered-down black acrylic ink

Step 2: Creating the Butterfly

  • roll a piece of purple tissue paper for the butterfly’s body
  • add little antennas – I used ready-made stamen that you would normally use for flower centers
  • cut out two wings from vellum using a die from the Butterfly Pocket Insert set
  • color the vellum with a light teal Alcohol Marker
  • assemble the butterfly using hot glue
  • add a pre-made sentiment

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Hi there! It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this Mixed Media Tag using coloring on colored cardstock.

Step 1: Die Cutting and Stamping

  • die cut the larger tag from the Planner Essentials 2 die set
  • stamp one of the wonderful flowers from the Garden Flowers set with a grey ink

Step 2: Coloring

  • color the flower with Alcohol Markers
  • add shading around the flower with colored pencils

Step 3: Adding Texture to the Background

  • mask the image
  • stamp the grid from the Patterns 1 set with Distress Oxide Ink Evergreen Bough and the formula from the Background Stamps 3 set with Distress Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke

Step 4: Finishing Touches

  • remove the mask
  • add black and white acrylic paint splatters
  • shade the edges of the tag with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and a Blending Brush
  • dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Ink Ground Espresso and thread it through the hole of the tag
  • add a sentiment sticker

My daughter Emily (9) created and similar tag and this is how it turned out – so lovely:

I hope you got inspired.
