Sneak Peek Kit 2024 No. 1 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

January 25, 2024January 23, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Ink Blending, Sneak Peek Kit, Stamping, Stencils, Waffle Flower40 Comments

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 1 for 2024 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date.

For today’s card, I wanted to use all the items in the kit. I started off with using the Daisy Background Stencil Duo to create my background. I used it them on top of an 6×6 grip mat to make it easy on me, ink blending with distress inks. I used my shader brushes to really get colors in certain areas, which makes it really easy to get a dimensional look to the florals.

I really loved the font from the You & Me stamp set, so I wanted to create a little panel with the subsentiments but I also wanted to still use the large “you & me”.

I used the Layered Daisy die to add subtle accents around my sentiment. It’s super subtle but I love how it adds to it but doesn’t take away from the sentiment. If you want to see how this card came together visually, I have a video!

Remember to check out all the other inspiration of how to use this kit!

Paper scraps? Die cut shapes? It’s a perfect pairing. I love that you can use any color you want and it works really well with any possible sentiment right in the middle! It’s a simple card and one you can easily mass produce and use up your scraps at the same time.

January New Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Pretty Pink Posh

Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh‘s January 2024 Release Blog Hop! Can you believe we’re already almost a week into 2024? Be sure to check out the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh. Before we jump into my project for the hop, there’s a total of 4 $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day) for this 3 day blog hop! Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 1/11/2024. Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

Hi friends! There have been so many amazing projects already shared in the past two days of the blog hop and there’s so much inspiration today as well! Be sure to check it all out and today’s lineup! For today, I’m sharing this pretty Valentine’s or Love card that I put together using some of the new items from Pretty Pink Posh’s January release.

With a standalone die set, I tend to like to die cut from white cardstock and then color instead of using scraps. Frankly, I probably should use scraps to use them up but I just love the added look of dimension by coloring using markers. A trick I use is to use double sided tape prior to die cutting so everything I cut will basically be a sticker, making it really easy to put the pieces together quickly.

Once all my die pieces are colored up, I’ll go ahead and put them together on a piece of pink cardstock to match the vibe of the card. I really love the Valentine’s Words stencil and I inked it up with black ink on white cardstock, but I thought it was a little too plain so I inked up the corners just to add a little bit of pink to it.

Here is a quick video of how this came together

Be sure to stop by the previous days of inspiration for the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

Sometimes a bold sentiment can stand on its own but it just ups the ante when you combine with other elements.

I have a ton of paper scraps so anytime I can use some up, I do it. This was a super easy way to do it and it was pretty easy to put together after you figure out how to place the pieces … so it’s kind of like a puzzle!

Using the eclipse card technique for a sentiment is always super fun but have you created an eclipse background … you’re simply popping up die cuts to create a more impactful card. I was able to use pattern paper, die cuts, and a heat embossed sentiment for a fairly simple card!

Whimsical Stamping | Essentials by Ellen

Doodles — they are always fun because it’s not about perfection, it’s just for fun. This stamp set is a great example of that and it also comes with the solids so you can easily color it up. Stamping doesn’t have to be perfect and honestly, it’s better that it’s not — it’s whimsical and fun! Don’t you think?

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.

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!
