Be Yourself A2 Card

September 19, 2023

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Whenever I am stuck on creating a card with a background the best solution is to use a stencil and lightly apply ink. This doesn’t need to bold. By applying ink this takes away from the starkness of the White panel. Always use a stencil that best represents the other elements in your card. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5 1/2″ and fold for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Place Planner Stencils 2 (floral one) on top of the card front. Using a Blender Brush lightly apply Ink of your choice. I used a teal blue and green inks to create my background. Note that I faded the ink blending as I got towards the edges.

Step 3 – Stamp Bugs And Kisses sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Step 4 – Diecut Elegant Leaves 1 using White Finish Cardstock if you want to color in any color medium. If you don’t want to color then diecut in using Green Cardstock. Adhere to card front using Kids Choice Glue.

Step 5 – Diecut Caterpillar using White Finish Cardstock if you want to color in any color medium. If you don’t want to color then diecut in various colors of Cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card front using Kids Choice Glue. For the head I used a little Foam Tape.

This card can be used for several occasions by simply changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Fun with Bugs

February 8, 2023

Karen here. I am loving playing with the new stamps that are available at Elizabeth Craft Designs. They are also available at your local stores! Today, I am featuring a couple cards that I made with the some stencils, inks, and bugs!

This sweet bee is from the English Countryside 1 set. He is colored with Copic Y13, 15, and 18 with wings of Y21 and 23. I used Distress Oxides in Fossilized Amber, Saltwater Taffy and Mowed Lawn through a stencil from the Planner Essentials 2 set. The sentiment is from the Smell the Flowers set. I cut the card base with a Stitched Rounded Rectangle die.

Love this fun butterfly from the also from the English Countryside 1 set. I colored him up with R32, R35, R37, BG11, BG15, and BG18. The body is E41. Through the stencils, I added Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet and Candied Apple.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Craftily yours, Karen

Ho Ho Ho Holiday Stocking Card

December 20, 2022

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I can’t believe the holidays are just days away. This is my last post for 2022 so I decided to add some bonus cards. Below are the steps to create your own cards.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish to 7″ x 6″, score at 3 1/2″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 – Trim White Soft Finish to 3 1/2″ x 6″. Place Planner Stencils 1 on top of panel and apply Versamark. Remove the stencil and sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder. Remove the excess and heat set it with a Heat Tool. Adhere to card front using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape. (Planner Stencil 1 is no longer in stock so you can replace with Planner Stencil 3.)

Step 3 – Diecut Holiday Stocking using various colors of Glitter Cardstock. If you don’t have Glitter Cardstock you can make your own using Clear Double Sided Adhesive Sheets and Silk Microfine Glitter by placing Clear Double Sided Adhesive Sheets on Soft Finish Cardstock. Remove the release sheet and add Silk Microfine Glitter. Remove the excess and burnish it with your finger. Assemble and adhere to card front using Foam Tape.

Step 4 – Stamp Holiday Treats sentiment using Versamark on White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a Heat Tool.

Step 5 – Diecut Diagonal Stitched Fishtails to the sentiment created in Step 4. Adhere to card front using a piece of Foam Tape on the left side and 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape on the right.

Bonus Cards

All the cards are using the same products but the colors and stencils are different. I used Planner Stencils 1 & 2 but it is no longer in stock. Instead you can use Planner Stencils 3.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 11″ x 4 1/2″, score at 5 1/2″ and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Trim White Soft Finish to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Diecut Fitted Circles using Masking Sheets and place on top of the trimmed Cardstock. Apply inks of your color choice using a Blender brush. Once done place Planner Stencil on top and using the same colors. This is called Double Stenciling. Remove the masks.

Step 3 – Diecut Fitted Indented Rectangles using the panels created in Step 2.

Step 4 – Stamp Holiday Treats sentiments to the panels created in Step 2 using Versamark. Sprinkle Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a Heat Tool. Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 5 – Diecut Beautiful Baubles using Matte Cardstock for the baubles top and string. Beautiful Baubles is no longer in stock so you can use Classic Christmas Special Kit for the baubles top and use string or draw a line for the string.
