Hello crafty friends. It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a beachy card using some summer colors. When I think beach, I think lighthouses because the beach we go to has one on it.
Skill level: Intermediate to advanced Time: An hour or more
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a beach themed stamp, stencil and dies. Several colors of inks. Post-it notes or masking paper and a fine liner pen.
Step 1:
Die cut the postage stamp panel. This must be cut first with this particular set because you line up the stitched lines.
Step 2:
Place the stencil over the panel, lining up the stitched part, I circled it so you could see what I am referencing. Mask off other areas of the card so you don’t get ink on it. Ink blend green ink for the grass. Remove and clean the stencil
Step 3:
Mask off the grass and ink blend blue for the ocean. Remove and clean the stencil.
Step 4:
Mask off the ocean. Ink blend brown for the sand, remove and clean the stencil.
Step 5:
Mask off the bottom portion of the stencil. Ink blend Yellow for the sun rays. Remove and clean the stencil.
Step 6:
Ink blend red for the lighthouse. Remove and clean the stencil.
Step 7:
Be sure to mask off portions of the card that may get inky. Place the stencil down where the sun is in the white space that was left after blending the sunrays. Ink blend orange in the circle and also at the base of the sunrays. Remove and clean the stencil.
Step 8: (optional)
This step s totally optional but I like the way it grounds the lighthouse. Place stencil back over the lighthouse and use a fine liner pen to trace the stripes.
Step 9:
Stamp the greeting in blue and the 25 cents in black. Not pictured in this photo but you will need to die cut the flower and add it to the corner as shown in the finished card.
Hello Friends! Tracy here and today I am excited to share this rustic and patriotic card with just 4 inks! In today’s video tutorial I am sharing how I created this card using a masking technique, some stamping, and some stenciling! Tracy
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. I am so excited to share a wedding card idea with you today. We will be creating a romantic wedding scene by watercoloring some images. If you like adding shimmer and sparkles to your card, be sure to keep reading to find out how you can watercolor with the Sheer Shimmer Sprays!
Step 1: The focal point of today’s card is the bride and groom images from Stampin’ Up’s Here’s to Love set. I stamped the images on watercolor cardstock with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink. Most of the time the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink is my go-to for stamping image outlines. However, I wanted to create a softer look today, and I thought this dark gray color is a great alternative to the usual crisp, black ink. I also did a little bit of masking on the bride’s right arm, so that the groom’s suit outline does not overlay on top.
Step 2: Now it is time to add some color. I wanted to try watercoloring with the Sheer Shimmer Spray to add some additional sparkle, since the card layout is quite simple. There are several metallic options to choose from for the Sheer Shimmer Sprays. I chose the color Sparkle, which is clear with a golden shimmer. I painted the bride’s dress with 2-3 coats, letting each coat dry before applying the next layer. For the groom’s suit, I mixed the spray with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. (What a coincidence with the ink’s name, ha!)
Step 3: Then I stamped the floral images from Stampin’ Up’s Happiness Abounds set using the same gray ink. I mixed Memento Summer Sky ink with Sheer Shimmer Spray to color the base layer of the flowers, and added shadows with Paris Dusk. This color combination is so lovely and the perfect dusky blue for a wedding palette. The Imagine Craft Mat is also a great tool for mixing colors. Since the Memento inks are water-based, I can apply the ink directly onto the craft mat and clean the surface with a quick water rinse at the end.
Step 4: The leaves were colored with Memento New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves ink. I hope you can see the shimmer from the spray a little better in this picture. It is hard to capture the fine sparkle on camera, but the shimmering effect is truly mesmerizing in person.
Step 5: I also splattered some white acrylic paint droplets to add additional textures to the colored images.
Step 6: Now we are ready to die cut the images. The coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
Step 7: Finally, I stamped the “congratulations” sentiment with Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink. It complements the gray image outlines nicely and also adds a subtle shine to the project.
You might have noticed that I paired my stamping tool with Altenew’s SlimGrip Sticky Mat now. This Sitcky Mat is a game changer and I love how easy it is to line up narrow sentiment strips.
Here is the final card once I assembled all of the elements. You can recreate this layout with any floral stamps that you may have. I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and the tips and tricks about watercoloring with Sheer Shimmer Sprays!
Hello Friends! Katy here with another project for you. Today’s card features a wedding day theme, but as always you can use this design for what ever you need! In fact, I used it for a sympathy card when I first designed it.
In todays video I share how I used detail blending brushes to create a peach blend on some Lily florals using VersaFine Clair in Summertime and Charming Pink. I also add a bit of shimmer using Sheer Shimmer Stix Dauber in Frost. Check out the video below for all the details.
Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project for you. Today’s card is for Father’s Day, but as always you can use this design for what ever you need!
I decided to do a monochromatic theme. What’s that mean really? Well that simply means consisting of one color or hue. Today’s color or hue is blue. Great for masculine. Todays project also allows us to stretch our supplies by using a holiday background stamp, genius I know. Check out the video below for all the details.
