Daisies and butterflies

Welcome back friends!  My project for today is a card I created using products from Scrappy Tails Crafts March 2021 release.  They are the Oopsy Daisy stamp set and the Sitting Butterflies dies.  Let's take a look at my card shall we?

I had more pictures of the process but I managed to delete them somehow!  So I took a few pictures of some of the pieces and then the final card.  I'll talk you through the process.

I started with this gel print I made some time ago.  When I can't really create, I love to get out my gel plate and just play.  This results in a stack of prints for me to pull out when the mood strikes!  This purple and yellow print called to me.

I cut it down to 3 1/4" x 8 1/4".  Next I went to my stack of random things in my craft room.  I had swatched out some brand new shimmer watercolors earlier in the month in a rainbow order.  I grabbed the Sitting Butterfly dies and cut out the solid butterfly die six times.

I then cut out the detail butterfly die six times out of black watercolor paper that I had swatched with the same shimmer watercolors.  I used a liquid glue to adhere the outline piece to the watercolor solid butterfly.  I intentionally kept from lining the images up exactly.  This makes it look like the solid butterfly is more of a shadow image.

I stamped two of the daisies from the Oopsy Daisy set with black ink directly onto the gel print panel.  Then I played around with the placement of the butterflies.  I felt like I had some empty space so I stamped several of the adorable bees from the same stamp set.

Next I adhered the gel print panel to a white, slimline card base.  The two butterflies on the left side of the card I let hangover the edge of the card.  I simply trimmed off the excess.  Before I added the butterfly on the right I added my sentiment which is popped up with foam tape.  I also added foam tape to the last butterfly and placed it so it looked like the butterfly was resting on the sentiment.  This one goes to the edge of the panel but not so far that I had to trim bits off of it.

For just a tiny bit more detail I took some gray Copic markers and colored the flower centers.  And that does it!  I will be back very soon with a project from the brand new June release!  Don't forget the discount code you can use for 10% off, STCBLOG.

Welcome back to my crafty corner!  Today I'm playing 2 Cute Ink's June Patreon exclusive digi stamps.  They are called Birthday Dogs and boy are they cute!  You can find out all of the details on how to join and get access to these cuties HERE.

Here are the two cards I created!

My backgrounds are all gel prints that I created.  I used them as the inspiration for the colors I used on my cards.  I wanted to show you can have lots of color and details on your cards without actually doing a lot of coloring.

I really love the versatility that digital stamps give you.  Make them big.  Make them small.  Do whatever works for you!

Color Poppin' with digital stamps

 Hiya friends!  I'm over on the Stamplorations blog today as a guest digital designer.  This month's trio of projects features the Sketched Cupcake & Cupcake Row digital stamp set.  I always try to do a sort of theme and this month I'm calling it "Color Poppin'."

My first project is a bright and fun bookmark.

I printed the image twice in the same size.  One image I colored with fluorescent Copic markers and the other I left uncolored.  

I cut the word "read" out of both of them.

I cut the same letters out 4 more times from plain white cardstock.  Then I stacked and glued all of the letters together.  I rounded the corners of the plain panel and added it to a piece of black cardstock slightly larger.  I also round the corners on the black panel.  Then I glued the stacked letters in place.  I added liquid glue to the bottom of the letters and sprinkled with glitter.

For the finishing touch I punched a hole through both layers and added a bright ribbon!  

For my second project I got to play with my gelli plate!

I grabbed my gelli plate, several acrylic paints, Flair slimline stencil and Bloomdalascopic #7 stencil.  I created a couple of different panels because you can't make just one when you play with gelli plates!

I printed the Sketched Cupcake out onto Copic friendly cardstock.  I added minimal color to the wrapper with some toner greys.  For the frosting I used an embossing pen to add ink and then used White Satin Pearl embossing powder.  It added such a lovely shimmer!

I picked my favorite panel and added it to a gray card base.  I added foam tape to the back of the cupcake and adhered it to the card.  I also used a Happy Birthday sticker from the Just Everyday Greetings sticker pack.  Glued on a few sequins and this beauty was finished!

My third project I think is my favorite of this group.  Don't tell my other cards!

I printed the Cupcake Row out onto white cardstock.  I grabbed the Art Splatter stencil, blending tools and a rainbow of Distress Ink pads.  I added the stencil splatters at different heights, flipped it over, shortened the drips and so on to make each splatter look different.

Then I used the same Distress Inks to add splatters.  Keeping it mostly over the same area as the stencil splatter.  I added black splatters over the entire panel.

I added it to a black panel and then onto a white slimline card base.  That's it! 

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today!  You can use code STAMPGIRLKRISTINA to get 20% off at the Stamplorations store.
