Modern Calla Lillies Two Ways with Joni

Hello Everyone! Joni here sharing my take on the new Modern Calla Lilies. For this first project, I used the Modern Calla Lilies stamps and dies, Kind Soul and the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles Die.

To begin, I distressed the white card panel with Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers and then splattered it with water to add a bit of texture and distressing. And then die-cut the panel with the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles Die. Next, I stamped the Anthurium images from Modern Calla Lilies, colored them with Copic Markers and then die-cut them using the companion dies.

Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Kind Soul stamp set and adhered the images with foam tape for dimensions. I also added some Ivory Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the card.

For the next card, I used the Modern Calla Lilies stamps and die, Sympathy Lilies and the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles Die.

To begin I stamped the white panel with the leaves from Modern Calla Lilies using Distress Oxide Inks in Frayed Burlap and Peeled Paint.

Next, I die-cut the center with the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles Die to create a window and stamped the card base with the sentiment from the Sympathy Lilies stamp set.

Then, I adhered the white card panel and die-cuts with foam tape for dimension. I also added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Jewels for some interest to finish the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's projects! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Prayers with Joni

Hello Everyone! Joni here sharing my take on the gorgeous Sympathy Lilies stamps and dies. Although the sentiments in this set are for sympathy, you can used these not only for sympathy but for any occasion really if you swap out the sentiment.

To begin my card I first stamped the images with PURE COLOR Dye Ink in Beanstalk and Mojito.

I chose to color the image with Copic Markers, but it would look equally as beautiful in watercolor or colored pencils. You can see the colors I chose in the photo below.

To set off the bouquet, I created a background Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Peeled Paint. I also added a little splatter using the same ink colors after diluting them with water.

After coloring the image I used the companion die to cut it out, this die will save you some time vs. fussy cutting out the image. Then I stamped the sentiment "prayers" and cut it out using the companion die. For the inside of the card I then stamped the flower image at the bottom right side in black and the sentiment on the center of the card.

I hope you enjoyed a closer look at this set. Have a great weekend!

Rose Builder Sympathy With Kara

Hey guys Kara here again. Today I have a sympathy card to share with you. I didn't have one in my stash because they are not typically a card we want to make, but sometimes necessary.

In my opinion, simple floral cards are always appropriate for this situation. I chose the beautiful Rose Builder stamp set for my card. I decided to keep my embellishment to just one corner of my card. On the card front itself I stamped a large rose and a few leaves. This way when I placed my die cut elements on top the stamped images would fill in any blank space.

For my roses I chose to stamp only three of the four layers. I used Shell Pink as my base, Sweet Gelato next and finally Cranberry Crush. For my leaves I used Mojito and Appletini ink.

I don't think the card has to say 'sympathy' which is why I chose this sentiment from Modern Petunias. I think it coveys the feeling that I want to get across. My message inside can be more specific.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

My project today features the gorgeous floral border from the upcoming Kind Soul stamp set. I am absolutely head over heels for this image!

It's generously sized at 6" long, making it perfect for add floral borders on both portrait and landscaped cards. But it is full enough in composition to use just portions of the stamp as well. The simple clean lines of the illustration make it versatile enough to use with just about any technique and it features one of my favorite flowers - anemones, along with petunias.

I decided to go with a very soft no-line coloring technique today. I really think it just makes these florals sing. And it really is not as difficult to do as it looks. The secret is not to overthink it, i.e. overwork it! You can see what I mean in the video below.

I've had many questions on painting "white" flowers, so I made sure to leave those portions in real time. As you saw, they aren't very impressive on their own. But once all of the color is added around them, they just magically work!

I opted not to use the companion die on this card, but I do already have the idea to heat emboss and die cut several, ink them in rainbow colors with Distress Inks, and them stack them progressively down a card front. How gorgeous would that be? Or possibly an ombre!

Instead, I opted to go very soft and ethereal today. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Prayers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. It just felt right to me, but this would also look amazing with a wedding or congratulatory greeting.

I hope you've enjoyed today's look at the Kind Soul set. All of the products used today are linked below. But before you go, don't forget to enter the giveaway!
