And I'm not gonna lie. I did make a b-line for Flock Yeah! when the samples arrived. Today's projects were the very first cards that I made and they really did spin off several more ideas. I love when that happens!
You can watch step-by-step how these came together in the video above, but let's go over the highlights.
I started this one by creating an alcohol ink background on Yupo paper. I did create many, many of them - in several colors. (FYI - do this in a well ventilated room, don't be like me LOL) I've saved them for future projects. But the coral one was perfect for the background of this card. I used the new Fabulous Die to create a die cut word window from a white card panel and then layered that over the background with foam tape.
I stamped and colored all of my images using Copic Markers and then used their Companion Dies to cut them all out. (keep reading for a great deal on companion dies) I heat embossed my sentiments - both from Flock Yeah! - and then mounted them with foam tape as well.
Who doesn't want to be told that they've "still got it"?
For the next card, I switched it up just a bit. And kept the sentiment a little less snarky. But replacing the greeting with the Happy Birthday Die this becomes a great card for all ages.
For the background this time, I used the new Trellis Background 2 Die. This is a fantastic background die that can be use alone or layered with the Trellis Background 1 Die.
If you like Flock Yeah!, be sure to check out it's "sister" set - or "brother" set - Oh My Gostrich!. It's another fun one with some snarky sentiments that make for great masculine cards. I really did have a hard time choosing which set I enjoyed more.
OK, so I did mention something about Companion Dies earlier, didn't I? Well we have a couple of promotions going on right now.
