Quick and Easy Cards with Joni

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing some inspiration using you stamps and dies on a simple way. I've got two cards to share with you today. First up, features the He Is Risen stamp set and the Basic Greetings Die.

To begin, I first stamped the image on blush colored cardstock with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed the image using white embossing powder. Next, I colored the open spaces of the flowers with Copic Markers. This technique is so easy to do and adding that little bit of color really makes it pop.

Next, I cut some small strips of cardstock to create a mat for my greeting. For the final touch I added the "thanks" from Basic Greetings Die.

I love how soft and ethereal this card came out!

For this next project I used new Tossed Floral Background Die, which is really gorgeous!

For this project I die-cut it once from blush and one from white cardstock. I used the positive die cut from the white and the resulting left over outer frame from the blush.

I die cut "hello", again using the Basic Greetings Die for a simple finish to a simple, yet elegant card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

VIDEO: Tossed Florals Background Die and ZIGS w/Dawn

Hello! I'm back with another video and several cards for you today. Have you seen our new Tossed Florals Background Die? It's one of my favorite products from this release.

One of my favorite ways to use it is tone-on-tone for subtle texture. But today, I want to share how you can quickly and easily add color to it.

I cut several panels from Distress Watercolor paper and used ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers to add a touch of water color to each. I made 4 versions, all slightly different. For this one, I used Blue, Dark Pink, Olive Green and Bright Yellow. I scribble a bit of color directly on the panel where I wanted to add color and then spread it out using an Aqua Brush.

For the sentiment, I used another older favorite, Bold Banner Greetings. I die cut the banner from Dove Grey cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment in white. Then backed it with another banner cut from white - slightly off set. You can see the whole process below.

Once I had finished the first card, I just loved the way these products looked together so much, that I had to make a few different versions. All using the same basic supplies, just slightly different.

I used the same layout as the first card for this one, but swapped out my card base color for Nautical Navy. For the colors, I used Wine Red, Deep Blue, Bright Yellow and Green.

For the next one, I switched up the watercoloring by adding a little perfect pearls to my water. This gave the entire background a gorgeous overall shimmer. The colors on this one are Carmine Red, Cobalt Blue, Yellow and Light Green.

For the sentiment, I split the banner between the left and the right and added a light watercolor wash to it.

There is one more version, but you'll have to watch the video to see it. ;o)

I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by!
