Here’s a little trip for when you don’t want to fussy cut? I love a bold black background but adding color to it is another story. Here’s how I was able to add my fun cocktails to this card without having to fussy cut the images out to place it on top!

Ever make an Eclipse card? It’s actually a really easy concept. You just choose an image within your background that is popped up for dimension — the easiest way is using die cuts and cutting multiple layers, which is what I did here. For the ink blending — it’s I’m using the white space for the water foam that creates that beachy look!

Shaker cards are super fun because they make noise and they are just fun to play with. I created a subtle one because you can’t really see the pieces but you can definitely hear it!

Ombre colors can make anything whimsical and so fun! I used some ombre ink blending here to spice up the card and I’m so happy I did.

I first stamped the main stamp from the Easter Wreath stamp on Bristol Mixed Media paper using no line ink. I stenciled the Floral Background and thought it would be fun to do it in an array of rainbow colors. The ink I stamped was faint but it was enough for me to do some no line coloring matching the rainbow colors in copic markers.
I used the Easter Wreath coordinating dies to die cut the images and then three additional die cuts on white cardstock so I could use it to pop up the wreath instead of using foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped out the “Happy Easter” sentiment on cream cardstock and popped it up. To finish off the card, I used the new embellishments in the colors Light Orchid and Creamsicle. It just gives it an added pop!
If you want to see the entire project from start to finish, I’ll leave my YouTube video below.

Hi everyone! Today, I’m sharing two quick cards I created for my little cousin’s graduation (one from high school and one from middle school) featuring various crafty items in my stash. I love mixing and matching sets to achieve the look you want. Plus there’s a SALE currently for Trinity (the ballon layer stencil is from them) — see below for SALE code.

I used the Trinity Stamps’ Slimline Layered Balloons stencil for my main background. It’s a freaking amazing stencil that I haven’t pulled out enough! There’s two layers to this stencil along with the masks, which have the etchings so it’s really easy to line up! I used a variety of Ink on 3’s Atelier Inks and used two colors to blend for each balloon, leaving some white space to create a highlight. Next, I took the Altenew Bold Alphabet dies to cut through the main panel I just created. It’s scary but I wanted a subtle sentiment that didn’t take too much away from the amazing background I just created.
To add a little bit more to these two cards, I grabbed the Pretty Pink Posh Congrats Grad stamp set and stamped the grad cap along with the diploma using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them up using copic markers. Finishing off the card, I found some star glitter and carefully glued them to fill up the white space. Aren’t these such bright and vibrant cards?!
Hi crafty friends! I’m so excited to be guest designing for Wow! Embossing Powder for this month. I’ll be sharing a variety of different cards using embossing powders in different ways to create cards so I hope you enjoy them. For my first post, I’m sharing three cards that are created strictly with just embossing powders.
I wanted to play with darker cardstock mixed with embossing powder. I pulled out three colors of cardstock: red, blue, and black. To pair the embossing powder, I chose Rose Glintz, Metallic Gold Rich Pale, and Metallic Silver.
I decided to use Pretty Pink Posh’s Wild Rose stamp set for the three cards. These are large floral images that are perfect for the idea I had for these cards. Here are my pairings: Rose Glintz & black cardstock, Metallic Gold Rich Pale & blue cardstock, and Metallic Silver & red cardstock. I used all these images to stamp on the cardstock using the WOW! Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad and heat embossed the images. I didn’t have the coordinating dies but these were all easy to cut out.
For my main card panels, I trimmed them down so I could mat them on a card panel so the embossing powder peeks out on the edges. I just swiped the WOW! Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad on the edges and heat embossed them.
I wanted to add some accents to the card panel and Simon Says Stamps’ Brushstroke Messages has these two brushstroke lines, it was perfect. Before I add all the floral images to the card panel, I wanted to emboss the sentiment. Using the Opaque Bright White, I stamped out the sentiment and this color is SO bright that I love how it stands out on the dark cardstock.
I placed all the florals in the same position for all three cards and love how it all came together. I also have created a video to go along with it so please go ahead and check it out HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!
