For my card today, I started by inking up my Leaf Branch Stencil with worn lipstick distress oxide and stamping it on mixed media paper. I went over it with a brayer to ensure the color transferred well. Next, I stamped the wood grain stamp from Texture Tiles 2  over top, and then added some text from one of the Texture Tiles 1 stamps. 

I stamped the little floral spray from God is Sovereign  six times on watercolor paper, colored three of them with Arteza Real brush pens, and fussy cut them. Next, I cut the images into little pieces and arranged them into a wreath. To create the 3D flowers, I colored just the flowers on the second set of three images, fussy cut them, and glued them over top the flowers on the wreath. I added some Frosted Lace Stickles over the flowers for a bit of sparkle and a twine bow to one side of the wreath.The sentiment is from Forever Loved and is stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here with a Thank You card featuring the March 2022 Stamp of the Month! The stamp set is called Spotted and is FREE with any $65 order. This is a perfect set to create backgrounds or add texture to your cards. I LOVE polka dots so it has become a fast favorite.

 

Do you ever think about customizing your pattern paper? Well I took a piece of plain black & white stripped pattern paper and stamped the Solid Polka Dot stamp from the SOTM to create a more dramatic backdrop. Depending on where your focal image is placed, you can get away with just stamping around the outer edges of the paper. I think the bold polka dots add a huge impact to the design. What do you think? Hope you will consider giving this technique a try!

Now onto the card design. I stamped images from the Forever Loved and a butterfly from the Made New stamp sets with alcohol friendly ink and used copic markers to color them. Next I took the coordinating dies sets and cut all the images out. Don't have the dies, they can easily be fussy cut out. I then cut a rectangle strip to stamp the sentiment on and arrange all my stamped pieces. For embellishment I added a few rhinestones.

Mini Slimline Card Base: 3 1/2" x 6" (7" x 6", scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side)

Forever Loved

Happy Saturday! My card today features Forever Loved and the Mosaic stencil from the March Release. The flowers and sentiments in Forever Loved are beautiful and timeless! I think by now everyone knows how much I love, love, love the Mosaic stencil. I can't stop using it!

 

 

For the background, I did a tone on tone combo with so saffron ink/cardstock and the mosaic stencil. I stamped the flowers, leaves, frame and sentiment with versafine clair nocturne ink. I colored the flowers with alcohol markers, die cut the frame and assembled the card as seen.

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today to invite you to come play along with our March 2022 VIP Challenge that we host over in our Facebook VIP Group! This month we are challenging you to use the color GREEN on your project. You just need to create a new project using the color green and at least one SNSS product for a chance to WIN our monthly drawing. We hope you will stop by and join the fun! You can find the challenge details HERE.

 

 

 For my sample I created a card featuring the NEW Forever Loved Bundle that was part of the March 2022 Release. Sympathy cards are never a card you want to create so I try to have a few on hand. 

 

I started off by creating the background with the NEW Leaf Branch Stencil and two shades of green (light & dark) ink. After I stenciled the leaves I lightly went over the whole panel to soften it up. I added some ink splatters with the lighter shade of green along with a dew using Perfect Pearls.

 

Next I stamped a bunch of the flowers and leaves from the Forever Loved stamp set out using alcohol friendly ink and then used copic markers to color them. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them all out but of course you could fussy cut them out. I then arranged the floral elements onto the panel and attached. Some are attached with pop dots for added dimension. The sentiment is embossed on a strip of vellum and wrapped around the panel to hide the adhesive. The card is then assembled and a few rhinestones where added for embellishment.

 

Card Measurements:

White Mini Slimline Card Base: 3 1/2" x 6" (7" x 6", scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side)

Kraft Panel: 3 1/4" x 5 3/4"

White Scallop Panel: 3 1/8" x 5 5/8"

Stenciled Panel: 2 13/16" x 5 5/16"

White Circle: 2"

Vellum Sentiment Strip: 3 1/2" x 1"

Forever Loved

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Friends!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using the new Forever Loved set. 

To create this card I started with a top white card base and a white panel. I used the mosaic stencil to ink blend the background in the Ukraines flag colors.

Next I colored the flowers themselves with Copic marers, and popped them on the front panel. 

Soft Sympathy

Hi sweet friends! It's Julee, popping in to share a little inspiration with my new Forever Loved stamp and die set that released this month. Have you had a chance to check out the March release yet? There's a whole lot of stampy goodness in there! 

It seems like I've needed a lot more sympathy cards lately, and so I'm on a mission to replenish my stash. For this card, I wanted a soft subtle look, so decided on a pink and grey color combo.  The flower and greenery from Forever Loved were stamped on cardstock, then colored with Zig clean color real brush markers. The paper MATTERS with these markers, and  I accidentally filed the wrong cardstock scrap in the wrong bin, so what I thought was Bristol Smooth cardstock ended up being Neenah cardstock. Oops. It was pretty obvious when the color wasn't moving with the water brush. I ended up sticking with it, though, just doing a lot of marker on marker blending instead of using water and was able to achieve a result I was pretty happy with. I then cut the images out with the coordinating die set and set aside.

For the sentiment panel, I used the new Leaf Branch Stencil with pumice stone ink for a soft background, then cut in a circle and blended tattered rose ink around the edges. I then embossed the sentiment with black ink and clear embossing powder.

For the card base, I used the same stencil with weathered wood ink and a very light touch on fog cardstock. I love the soft look of it.  I then added a white circle mat to my sentiment panel and layered my flower and leaves. I finished off with a fun sprinkling of sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to create something. If you're in the mood to shop, be sure to take advantage of earlybird savings through March 9!
