He Is Risen Two Ways w/Joni

Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing two cards that use the same base images. By simply switching up the placement and using different bases, I'm able to achieve two totally different looks. Both cards feature the stamp set He is Risen stamps and die.

To begin, I first ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Abandon Coral onto pink cardstock for my background. I then stamped the lilies with black ink, colored them with Copic Makers and cut them out using the companion die.

Next, I stamped the sentiment - included in the He Is Risen stamp set - in black and colored the banner with Copic Marker for interest. I then adhered the flowers and leaves with foam tape for dimension. To finish off the card, I added a few jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.

For the second card, I also distressed the card base with Distress Oxide Ink, but this time I used Black Soot, Faded Jeans, and Peacock Feathers.

Next, I splattered a little water on the card base to give it interest, since the Distress Oxide Inks react with water. The flowers and leaves were again colored with Copic Markers, but I changed the placement of the images to give it a different look.

I also switched up the sentiment on this one. I used another sentiment, also included in the same set, and heat embossed it in white on a black cardstock to make the sentiment pop. I adhered everything with foam tape and again, added some jewels from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the card.

What do you guys think? I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for stopping by!

Creating Flower Wreaths w/Joni Two Ways

Floral stamps are so versatile, especially if they include individual blooms or smaller clusters. You can build bouquets, use them separately, create all over patterns, or create wreaths.

For today's projects, you can easily use any flower stamps and dies you already have on hand. For my first project, I've used the Modern Petunias stamps and dies. And for the sentiment I used the Birthday Wishes stamp set.

To begin, I used Wplus9 Nautical Navy cardstock, distressed it with Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers around the card and left the middle card dark. Because the Distress Oxide Inks have both dye and pigment ink properties, I was able to "brighten" up the edges of the darker cardstock with the lighter color. I then splattered it with water and Gansi Tambi Starry Colors.

I colored the flower images with Copic markers, then die-cut them using their matching dies.

Next, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels in Pearl White Jewels. To finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment "hope your birthday is extra" in white on black cardstock, fussy cut it out, and adhered it using foam tape.

For my next project, I used the Hello & Thanks stamps and dies. This set doesn't have individual flowers, but it does have several smaller clusters of flowers that can also be combined to create a wreath.

I first distressed the white card panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade, then splattered it with water.

Next, I stamped the images on white cardstock in black ink. Again, I used Copic markers to color them and then die-cut each image using their matching dies.

For the sentiment, I used the larger "thanks" included in the same stamp set, and heat embossed it in Aqua Tinsel. For the smaller sub-sentiment, I used white heat embossing on a black strip of cardstock.

To really kick it up a notch, I added some Diamond Stickles selectively on some of the flowers and leaves.

Finally, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels for added interest to finish off the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed, and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Mix and Match Stamp Sets w/Joni ft. Modern Anemones

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing another take for the Valentines Day card ideas. For this project I used the oldie but goodie Modern Anemones stamp and dies, then combined it using the sentiment from the Biggest Fan stamp set.

To begin, I distressed the white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans. I then splattered the panel with water and gold watercolor paint to create a little texture. Next, I die-cut the center using the decorative die from the Oh My Gostrich! Die. I stamped the card base that shows through the die cut window with the large "love you" sentiment from Biggest Fan.

For the florals, I stamped the anemones and leaves from Modern Anemones on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Modern Anemones Die to die cut all of the images.

I adhered the florals at the top and bottom of the card, framing the sentiment, with foam tape for a little more dimension. I also used a few Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels for added interest.

For my next, card I used the same products, but added the Milk and Cookies stamps and dies to the mix. These sets are not something that one might think to used together at first glance.

But, I think they look pretty awesome together! How about you?

I started by distressing white cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick. Again, I splattered the panel with water and watercolor gold paint.

For this card I stamped the large "love you" again from the Biggest Fan then stamped the "we're just better together" sentiment from Milk and Cookies over the middle of it. I adhered the florals from Modern Anemones behind the milk and cookie images. And like the last card, I again used the Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels to finish the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed my take on mixing and matching your sets and gives you some ideas to incorporate into your own work. Make sure to shop your stash and experiment pairing different things together. It can really breathe new life into those older products. And, you may even find something that would look great with a new product that you've had your eye on!

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Friendship Valentines w/Joni ft. MODERN PEONIES

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing a mix products for Valentines Day cards. The products I used are Modern Peonies , Modern Peonies Die, Knit Patterns, and the Flower Doodle Dies.

While I had the supplies out and since I was already in the groove, I went ahead and did another version as well. I don't know about you, but often when making a card, I struggle with "this or that?", "here or there?"...so why not create another version while I'm at it.

To begin I first stamped one of the images from Knit Patterns on to white cardstock. I then added a little ink blending around the edges of the card panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral.

I stamped the flower and leaves from Modern Peonies in Coconut Husk Dye Ink, colored them with Copic markers and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. For the sentiment I used the oldie but goodie Flower Doodle Die.

To give the sentiments a little more weight, I used the ol' stacking trick. I die-cut the sentiments "smile" and "love" from gold cardstock. I cut them a couple of more times from white cardstock and adhered them one on top of the other. You can used as many layers as you'd liked, depending on how thick you want them to be. I then adhered the gold die cut on top of each.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards! Thanks for dropping in!

Vintage Cookies and Cocoa w/Joni

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing my take on the new cute stamps Cookies and Cocoa.

I started by stamping the cookie and cocoa images on white cardstock. This set has both solid and outlined images, but I chose to go with the outlined images today and colored them with Copics. Once they were colored, I used the companion Cookies and Cocoa Die to cut out my images.

For the background, I did a little ink blending on white cardstock with Tim Holtz Distressed Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick to create a gradual fade, then stamped the sentiment "It's Time To Get Cozy" also from Cookies and Cocoa. For the main sentiment, I used the Sending Cheer Die and cut it three times from white yardstick, stacked and glued them one on top of the other and colored it with Copics.

I then adhered all the images with foam tape for dimension and added some Diamond Stickles for a glittered look. A few Buttercream Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh, finishes off the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
