Hello crafty friends! Did you get some crafting done yesterday for World Cardmaking Day? Are you stretching it out all weekend? No judgement here!
Just in case you are, I thought I'd pop in and share a couple of cards with you. I've shared these on YouTube and Instagram, but had yet to share them here.
These cards were a lot of fun to create. They look much more complicated than they are. There's a couple of steps to them, but each one is pretty simple and straight forward, and the process is the same for both.
I started by creating an ink blended background. For my autumn themed card, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks onto a Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock panel in Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Candied Apple. I used the Woodland Basics Die to cut several leaves from the resulting panel and set them aside.
For the stamping in the background, I created a quick stamp by die-cutting the same leaves from fun foam. I adhered the fun foam die cuts to an acrylic block and used them to stamp an all over pattern in Fairy Dust ink on a standard A2 cardstock panel. I then adhered some of the colored leaves directly over the stamping - some with liquid glue and others with foam tape to pop them up.
I filled in the gaps between the pattern with Nuvo Jewel Drops in Grey Mist. For the sentiment, I heat embossed "Grateful" from our So Very stamp set in white onto Black Cardstock and die cut it using the So Very Die. I used the same heat embossing for the rest of the sentiment from our Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.
The Christmas version followed all of the same steps. For this one, I used Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides for the ink blending and die cut the holly leaves from it - also from the Woodland Basics Die.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word Merry - from the Christmas Tag Die - and used the resulting negative die cut. I heat embossed "Christmas", from the Be Merry Sentiments stamp set, in white underneath the die cut "Merry".
I finished it off with dots of Nuvo Jewel Drops in Strawberry Coulis.
