Floral Frame 5x7 Card

Hi friends! For todays card I am creating my very 1st 5x7 card. 

I'm using Scrappy Tails Crafts A7 Flower Cover plate die.

To start off I die cut the flower border from 110lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock. 

The next step was to die cut the shadow layer. 

So I used the outer layer die and the inner die for that.

Then I colored my flowers and glued it to my shadow layer and then die cut THANK YOU FRIEND" 3x and stacked them up. I die cut the word shadows from 48lb Vellum from Cutcardstock as well.

Once that was done I glued it down to rough textured cardstock. 

I die cut 2 vellum leaves and stuck them under "for your kindness"

I added my panel to a black cardbase (130lb Epic Black cardstock) and some black splatter to the rough panel.

 The last step was adding iridescent gems to the flowers, shimmer and white gel pen to them as well. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

 Hi Rabbity Friends! Kelly Fusco here with a fun mixed media card featuring The Flower Whale Stamp from the Rabbit Hole Designs

To Start off I stamped the Flower Whale image onto 80lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored my whale with Gray Copics and I used Teals, Blues & dark reddish browns THEN I added some shimmer pen to it as well.. 

For my panel I used a piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock and I wet it with a sprayer and then sprayed Blue, Light Blue & brown onto it . I added layers of colors and sometimes drying in between. After it was 100% dry I added some texture paste with a stencil for some dimension. I wanted it to look ocean-y. Is that a word? lol

Then I took my paper distresser and distressed the edges of the panel. I fussy Cut my whale out and I die cut the word "Love" and stacked it 3x high.

I added foam tape to the back of the whale and I curved my Love sentiment to curve along the top of the whale. 

I added Glossy Accents to the LOVE & to the floral parts of my whale and a few Bubble Blower Gems from Trinity Stamps. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 2 The Rabbit Hole New Release Hop

 Hello Rabbit Hole Friends! Its Day 2 of the New Release hop & I'm definitely feeling a rainbow vibe. For todays cards I'm using simply the Friend stamp for both

To start off I used The image of the woman and positioned it in the MISTI so I could just shift my cardstock and repeat stamping easily. I used Catherine Pooler inks for every color. Rockin Red, Orange Peel, Tiara, Grass Skirt, Aquatini, Suede Shoes, Royal Treatment & Pixie Dust. I then stamped my "Friend" & sentiment in Versafine Onyx ink. Then I used a Black Glaze Gelly Roll pen for my black splatter which I applied manually. Lastly I added some iridescent gems for some sparkle. 

I added foam tape to my panel and mounted in to my 110lb Neenah card base from Cutcardstock. For my 2nd identical card I used the man image and did the same thing but I used a black mat under my panel and I added some Pops of Color in Clear & Snowflake.

I hope you like these cards & you check out the new release! The next hop is  Deana-

Rainbow Flower Whale-TRHD NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP!

 Hi Guys! Thanks so much for stopping by to celebrate The Rabbit Hole Newest Release. This is part of a Blog hop & I'm using "Flower Whale" for my card today along with the Friend Stamp.

To start off I grabbed some Judikins Masking Paper and I ripped 2 pieces and laid it across my 80lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock.

Then I used Distress inks and my Rabbit Hole Bitty Brushes to create the rainbow blend. I used Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers & Wilted Violet.

I love the Rabbit Holes Bitty Blending Brushes. The price point is awesome & they have strings to hang them. I hang mine on a large O-ring.

After my inks were dry I removed the masking paper and I stamped the Flower Whale in Versafine Onyx & I used Clear Embossing Powder/

Once I heat set that & it was done I used Copic markers in C01,C02,C03 to color the areas of the whale outside the rainbow strip.

I then Stamped the word "Friend" which is new in the release and fussy cut that out & propped it up with foam tape. 

I hand drew the wiggly border lines and added some Pops of color Drops in Snowflake.

I hope you like it. The next stop in the blog hop is Deana-

Clarence Loves YOU! Ink Spray Fun

 Hi Guys! Kelly Fusco here with my very 1st blog post for The Rabbit Hole Designs featuring the Clarence & Clarice Stamp.

To start off I stamped my image onto 80lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I colored in the image with copic markers. I used C05,C03,C01 & C0 I used a couple browns E31,E33 & E35. Then I took the Garden Trellis stencil and I sprayed it with distress spray stains (red,yellow,blue) in a rainbow order across my panel. I removed the stencil & went over it again with the coordinating colors in distress inks using my Bitty Blenders so the white wasn't too bright white. 

I originally had the stencil on a diagonal so that created these white stripes where the stencil border was. I added a few black dots to it 

I colored in the background of my image with Copic 100. I die cut it out with a scalloped oval die and colored the scalloped edges gray to match Clarence. I added foam tape to the back of my focal image & I die cut the word YOU and colored it to match the rainbow theme.

Its hard to see in pics but I added some glossy accents to his eyes, teeth, cheeks and the "LOVE" as well as the "YOU"

I took a black copic marker and went around the edges of my rainbow panel for a bit of definition. 

I added a few iridescent gems and I was done. I hope you like this card.

Freestyle panel/Floral Bday card

Hi guys! Kelly here. For this card Im using Altenews "Beauty Within" Stamp & Die set. I have the coordinating stencil but I didn't use it or need it for this card. 

To start off I stamped my Images onto 80lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock. I used Copics to "flick" color onto them. I used:

RV10,RV21,RV23 & RV25

V20,BV20,BV01,BV02 & BV13

BG10,BG23,BG45, & BG13

YG11,YG03,YG25 & YG17

the centers I used YR24 & YR27

Then I die cut everything out. 

Once I laid out how I wanted them to appear I used Press n Seal and press it onto my layout, flipped it over and added glue and foam tape so its 1 large arrangement. 

Now comes the FREESTYLE....I took another 80lb panel of Neenah and I used the CHISEL side of my black Copic and from the outside edge I swiped in like a brushstroke. I repeated that down the left side of my panel. 

I grabbed 3 copics from the flower colors and added dots to the panel. 

I then die cut this above panel with a rectangle embossed edge die from Kat Scrappiness. 

Then I glued it to my 110lb Neenah cardbase from Cutcardstock. I removed the liner from the foam tape and adhered it to my panel on my cardbase. I added a bit of shimmer pen and black glaze pen to the dotted centers.

Then I added my label sticker Sentiment. Done.

I was  going to add some gems but decided this card had enough going on. Thanks so much for stopping by!❤

Cutest Chubby Snowmen Ever!

 Art Impressions Chubby Snowmen is one of my favorite snowman stamp sets! I'm excited to show you this card.

To start off I took a strip of masking tape and sectioned off the bottom half of my panel which is 110lb Neenah cardstock.  I cut a freestyle mask for the ground as well. I used distress oxide inks in colors Chipped Sapphire & Blueprint sketch for the bottom. I splattered a bit of water for interest.

The top half of my panel I masked off in the middle vertically and I used faded jeans on the left and hickory smoke on the right. I added water splatter to these sections as well then I cut a thin piece of Holographic cardstock and glued it down on the trimmed borders. 

While that dried I stamped the images onto 110lb Neenah and colored them with copics.

I stamped my Sentiment with versamark and added white super fine Embossing  powder and heated it. 

I propped my images up on foam for dimension and adhered them to my panel.

I added white gel accents to my images and white "stars"  to the background with the gelly roll pen.

I also added some clear gelly roll pen for some extra shine. And some sparkle pen for the lights on the tree.

I had alot of fun creating this card & I hope you like it. 

 

Hi Guys! For todays blog post (also on Butterfly Reflections Ink blog) I'm using Honey Bees Lovely Layers Maple Leaf Die. This die set is AMAZING & makes creating leaves so easy! This die set was a gift to myself, for my birthday TODAY!! lol :)

 To start off I grabbed some Alcohol ink panels that had "Autumn Colors" and I used the shadow die and die cut it. Then I grabbed some white & Gold cardstock and die cut the top layer (2 white & 1 gold). I glued them all together. I added a gold bow on top of the stem base using Altenew Metallic Thread and glued it onto my base panel (pierced die plate) which was added to 110lb Kraft Cardstock.

I made a few cards with slight variations (Background, sentiments & embellishments)

The one above (sentiment) is Altenew Label Love  & the Embellishments are the AMAZING Satin Gold From Trinity Stamps. 

What's great about this die from Honey Bee is you can use anything as your shadow layer.  I just happened to use Alcohol inks because I had them made. You can make a striped layer with scraps, a patterned paper layer, mirrored cardstock or anything!

Here's a 3rd card I made below. So easy & fast to put together!

 This one I left plain & the background is Memory Box Pinpoint leaf. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an awesome UnbeLEAFable day🍁❤🌞

Holographic Candycanes

Im pretty obsessed with Holographic cardstock and its very popular lately. 🤩

For this card I started off with Epic Black 130lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock.

I stamped Spellbinders candy canes with Hero Arts unicorn white randomly. 

Then I used the coordinating dies and used a bone folder to make the embossed lines.  

I added foam to the back and glued them together using press n seal to keep them as 1 unit. 

I trimmed my panel down to a wee bit over 5.25"x4.0" and added a white border and mounted in onto Cutcardstock 130lb Epic Black Neenah

I added 1 Holographic gem from Trinity Stamps (bubble bath) to the center of the bow.

The sentiment us the Reverse Christmas sentiment strips from SSS.

I hope you like this. Stay safe,stay healthy & Stay CRAFTY my friends 🎨🖍✏🖌🤗🌲

FAST WASHI tape Cards

Lets face it, some recipients will receive their card, read it and toss it. Therefore a quick, easy card is needed. 

I used some festive washi tapes here.

I added my tape to 80lb Neenah cardstock from cutcardstock. Then die cut it from Michaels Recollections tree set. Then I used a DecoColor gold pen for the edges of my trees and for my ink blended background which I used Whimsy Stamps Brick background stencil. 

I chose Fog reactive ink because it matched the green on the washi tape. I added foam tape to the back of my trees for dimension. The sentiment strips are from SSS. I used the gold paint pen on that too, carefully not to smudge it. 

I repeated the above with a different washi tape. And thats it. 

I hope you like this minimal supplies quick washi tape cards.🌲

Happy Holidays! stay safe😷🌲❄

Dark Background Stamping

 Hi, Thanks for stopping by! For this card I'm using SSS Autumn Leaves Stamp to create this card. I love leaves stamps and this one is a beauty.

I brightened this photo so you  can see the shimmer I added. Otherwise its not visible in pics.

To start off I stamped the leaves onto 110lb Neenah Cardstock with Tuxedo Black memento ink.

I colored them VERY simply with copic markers (2 or 3 shades of each color)

I then grabbed a dark blue and colored in the background. I made sure to use a marker I had a refill for and that was nice and filled. You don't want a streaky dry marker.😬

Once the background was done I sprayed it with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SHIMMER Spray EVER! Sparkle Shimmer Spray. I spray it about 10 inches away from my panel and wave the panel into the spray mist to ensure a light even distribution of shimmer. Otherwise you are likely to get some droplets which I did not want for this project. Its really hard to see the sparkle in pics but in person its gorgeous!

Then I die cut THANK YOU from some Holographic cardstock and also die cut it from some Fun foam with Scrapbook.com double side adhesive on the back. 

I added some Trinity Stamps Bubble Bath Gems which are holographic and match perfectly to the sentiment.

I mounted my panel onto a piece of Martha Stewart Navy Cardstock which matched perfectly.

That's it. I hope you like this and thanks so much for stopping by! Stay safe, stay healthy & Stay Crafty my friends!🖍✏🖌🎨

Autumn Rainbow Stamp & Stencil😍

I live leaf cards so when Trinity Stamps xame out woth Autimn Rainbow stamp,stencil and die set I had to have it. I didnt use the die set here. 

But the stamp and stencil made this card a breeze. 

I used the Autimn rainbow stencil with some oxides (Fossilized Amber,  Victorian velvet, peeled paint and stormy sky) for the leaves on 110lb Neenah Cardstock from Cutcardstock.

I then stamped the "veins" with Versamark ink and used WOW Gold embossing powder.  I used a Gold Deco pen for the edges on the panel.  

I added a strip of vellum and my gold foil cardstock sentiment on top. Added Trinity Stamps Gorgeous Gold baubles and thats it. 

I hope you like it. If you have any questions please let me know.

Stay safe, stay healthy & stay crafty my friends 🖍✏🖌🎨

Thank you Autumn Slimline Card

Its A SlimLine Card Craze!

🍁🍁Hi! Thanks for stopping by! For this card I started off with a 3.5" x 8.5" panel of Bristol Cardstock. I masked off the sides about 1/2" on each side. 

I stamped Autumn Leaves 🍁images from Simon Says Stamp onto my panel with Versafine Onyx and Embossed it using WOW clear Embossing powder.

Once all of my images were stamped I watercolored the images using Tombow Markers. 

I used a water brush and the markers, that's it! easy peasy.

I then removed my masking strips. I cut a piece of gold cardstock from Recollections (yes, a Michaels brand) because its the same foil cardstock I matted under my panel which is an 1/8" smaller than my card base. And my panel is 1/8" smaller than the foil mat. Once I CAREFULLY glued my gold foil strips down I moved onto stamping my sentiment "Hexagon Greetings" also from Simon Says Stamp in Gold Embossing powder from WOW as well.

I put foam tape under my sentiment and used some Metallic Thread in Gold from Altenew underneath to hold it in place for some Gold accents. Last step was to add some Gold baubles from Trinity Stamps. Love them!

And that's it. I hope you like this. 

The envelope was made from a piece of 8.5"x11" Dark Red cardstock from Cutcardstock. I will have a quick video coming up soon on how I did it. So fast, so easy and sooooo affordable. Just my style, lol!

Stay Safe, stay happy & Stay CRAFTY!🎨✏🖍🖌

For my bunny and chicks I stamped them onto Neenah 80lb cardstock from Cutcardstock.  

I used copics to do simple coloring (warm grays for the bunny) and medium tone yellows for the chicks.

I drew my floor and my window in manually onto my panel (110lb Neenah). I die cut my images. I used Trinity Stamps stripe stencil with Unicorn pigment ink on the bed. And Trinity polka dot stencil for the wall in light yellow.

I added glossy accents to the window for a realistic look with some clouds (white gel pen). 

I adhered my images with glue and foam. 

I added some Glossy Accents to the word "Dust" in the sentiment.  The Happy Easter is from Trinity Stamps "springtime sentiments " set from their newest release.

Crafty Palette 🎨with Alcohol inks

I totally love making Alcohol ink pieces but I tend to collect them and then I think "now what?". So with these cards I used my Alcohol ink "strip" pieces I made in my recent video. 

Making Alcohol ink strips is a great way to stretch Yupo paper and have fun without wasting full sheets and collecting them. And a good way to see what colors you like too!😍

So heres what I did to make these cards....

I love alcohol inks, love love love!

I made some other colors too (seen in video) but I tend to gravitate to 🌈's. 

I also made a strip of Teal with gold and a black/gray with gold. 

I die cut them using MFT Artist Palette die set 🎨🖌 and I used their watercolor stripes for the background panel with Gina K Barely there ink on Neenah 80lb cardstockfrom Cutcardstock. The Hello friend Sentiment is from MFT and Eat, sleep,craft repeat sentiment is from Echo Park. 

The cardbase is 110lb Neenah from Cutcardstock as well.  

I used a Gina K Obsidian for my sentiment and Wow gold embossing powder for the Gold version. 

More details are up on my YouTube channel 🎨💕🖌✂️🖍 stay crafty my friends!🌞
