White Highlights | Honey Bee Stamps

March 18, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Honey Bee Stamps, Ink Blending, StampingLeave a comment

A lot of people color leaving white space for a highlight, which always levels up an image. I struggle leaving white because it’s a bit hard to fade out with copic markers, however, ink blending to white is a whole lot easier and I did that here. It allows the color to stick to the edges but you go in with a light hand with a fade to white.

Lucky Card | Trinity Stamps

March 17, 2023March 17, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Hot Foil, Ink Blending, Trinity StampsLeave a comment

Happy St. Patty’s Day! This card is perfect to celebrate but also just generally a fun card to give away! I combine a few techniques in this card… sometimes a hot foiled background can be the star, but it’s easy to use it as a background if you have the right items to steal the focus.

Hot Foil & Colored Die Cuts | Pretty Pink Posh

February 8, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Copic Coloring, Die Cuts, Hot Foil, Pretty Pink PoshLeave a comment

I know not everyone is on the hot foil train but I love how it looks so much! I love the shine that comes with it and it pairs so well with the soft look of colored die cuts.

Remember the steps of hot foiling:
1. Hot Foil plate facing up
2. Pretty side of foil down
3. Add cardstock and machine plate
4. Run it through your die cut machine
5. Reveal!

I’ll admit that although I’m not a clean and simple cardmaker, I’m also not a layered, dimensional one either. But sometimes, you definitely need to pull a ton of layers to create an amazing card. This is definitely one of them and it also reminds you that you don’t always have to use tags just for presents — you can use them on cards too!

I LOVE FALL — it’s my favorite and the changing of the leaves is one of my favorite parts about it. I used the Mica Distress Spray Stains for a bit of added shine (it’s hard to tell in photographs but it’s there and it’s so gorgeous).

The best part of cardmaking is that you can make anything any color you want. Even though Rainbow Tulips are actually a thing, I haven’t seen them and I decided that these had to be rainbow colored. Just a bit of purposeful ink blending and Voila! a colorful bunch of florals ready to go for a card.
