Love you so!

Hi Everyone! I'm thrilled to share with you a card that I made using a stunning die from Concord & 9th. This project allowed me to explore a range of vibrant inks and showcase a design that's perfect for any love-themed occasion.


Materials Used:

  • Die: Concord & 9th's Love you so die from the Just saying dies set
  • Inks: Concord and 9th’s Honeysuckle, Dragonfruit, and Oceanside
  • Embellishment: Gold ink (for splatter)
  • Cardstock: Neenah Classis Crest Solar white cardstock for a clean base and card panel, Vellum for sentiment shadow.
  • Tools: Gemini Junior 


Process:

  1. Die Cutting:
    • I started by using the Love you so die, which offers a fantastic sentiment to any card and cut it out of some Neenah 110# cardstock. At the same time I cut the sentiment shadow out of some vellum. I ran both dies through my Gemini Junior.
  2. Inking Technique:
    • For the inking, I chose Honeysuckle, Dragonfruit, and Oceanside inks. These shades are not only vibrant but blend beautifully together.
    • I smooshed the inks on a card panel, doing my best to ensure a smooth transition between the colours. This method gives the card a lively and refreshing look.
    • Next I spattered some gold ink on the panel for some embellishment.
  3. Assembly:
    • I trimmed the panel slightly and then adhered it to the card base. The I adhered the sentiment and shadow together. 
    • To finish off, I adhered the  simple yet heartfelt Love you so sentiment in the centre, which complements the vibrant background perfectly.

This card is a testament to how a few well chosen materials can create something truly special. Whether you're crafting for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just because, this design is sure to bring joy to the recipient.


Thank you for stopping by, and happy crafting! If you recreate this design or draw inspiration from it, tag me on social media @cardsstampsandink so I can see your beautiful creations! 🌟

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a card that I made using a Turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th! 

Have you ever used a turnabout stamp? It is so easy! Just pick 4 ink colours and follow the directions on the packaging!

I took a card panel and trimmed it to 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and then put it in my Misti on top of a turnabout jig. I inked up the stamp with my first colour. Then turned the card base with the jig one turn and inked up the stamp with the second colour. I repeated those steps two more times and then took the panel out of my misti and trimmed slightly and set it asidde.

Next I took another card panel and swiped it with the Dragonfruit ink and then used one of the dies from the Markered Messages dies and cut it out.  Then I glued it to the bitty burst card panel and then attached the panel to a trimmed down card base.

I added some gems and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by!

With Love....Butterfly!

  


Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a card that I made using the Penguin Palace Butterfly Emergence dies, Oriental cover plate and a sentiment from the Magical Christmas sentiments stamp set! So simple to make and can be used for a variety of occasions! What other occasions would you use this card for? 





First I cut out the base panel out of some Neenah Cardstock. Next i used the Oriental Cover plate die and adhered it to my card base of Neenah cardstock.  Next I cut out the standalone Butterfly out of some Penguin Palace Grand Piano Cardstock and adhered it to the base panel.







Then I lifted the butterfly wings up and added some gems to the body of the Butterfly and sprinkled them on my card. Next I stamped the sentiment  from the Magical Christmas Sentiments stamp set on a sentiment strip and popped it up on my card! 

That's it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Together we can make a difference!

 


Hi Everyone! Happy Dr Martin Luther King day! I am back today sharing a card that I made using diecut from the card that I made a few days with some goodies from Hero Arts!  First I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts United as One stamp set with some brown ink on an A2 card base of 110# Neenah  cardstock.  

Then I took the diecut panel of the Hero Arts confetti die that I had made stripes of skin tones with my copic markers and used 3 different sizes of the heart dies from the Hero Arts Heart infinity dies set and cut hearts from the panel.  I used the same sized hearts to cut some Neenah paper and adhered them to the die cut striped hearts. I adhered them on the card base and popped up the 2 larger hearts with some craft foam and that is it!

You are...LOVED!

 


Hi Everyone! I am back today sharing a card that I made using some goodies from Hero Arts! First I took one of the heart dies from the Hero Arts Heart infinity dies set and cut out a piece of Gina K masking magic. I placed it on an A2 panel of 110# Neenah  cardstock and used one of my red copic markers to colour around it. Then I removed the mask. I used a rectangle die to cut this panel slightly smaller than A2.


Then I took another  A2 panel and made stripes using skin tones with my Copic markers.  After that I cut the panel out using the Hero Arts Heart Confetti Fancy die. I used the hearts that were cut out from the die and adhered  them inside the heart that I had masked off on the other panel.  I adhered the whole thing to an A2 card base of 110# Neenah paper. 


Then I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts United as One stamp set with some black ink and popped it up over the heart with some foam tape. I added some shimmer to the whole card and a few gems and that is it!



 Be sure to stay tuned for when I use the remainder of that diecut that the hearts came from!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 



I used my Copic Markers to colour the lady in the Yay stamp set and die cut her out.  I then took a piece of Neenah paper and used the X's and O's from the Loads of Love stamp set. I used my copic markers to colour her and the X's in. I popped her up by cutting her shape out of some craft foam. I diecut my panel with a dotted rectangle die and adhered it to my card base made of Neenah 110# paper.

Hi Everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! 

Today I pulled out some yupo paper and some pink Ranger alcohol inks. I wet the yupo with the blending solution first and then added my alcohol ink. I used an air blower to help move the ink and solution around and then I left it to dry. 

I then took a panel of Neenah solar white and cut it out with the Lots of Hearts die from My Favorite Things. I then overlay the die cut with the Dotted Swirls die from Altenew. Then I took my alcohol inked panel and die cut it with the Lots of Love die from My Favorite Things and used that same die to cut a piece of craft foam. I adhered the two diecuts together and attached them to the panel. There you have it!

How to make an Alcohol Ink Die Cut card with interest! #EDAWCardHop

  



Hi Everyone! Today I am taking part in a video hop and an instagram hop to  share information in support of  Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, support, resources, and help are available. Contact via helpline or text/chat: ------
National Eating Disorder Information Centre (Canada): https://nedic.ca/contact/
National Eating Disorders Association (USA): https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline
BEAT (UK): https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/support-services
Butterfly Foundation (AUS): https://butterfly.org.au/get-support/helpline/
What are eating disorders and how do they develop?
Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses with physical manifestations. A number of factors can contribute to the development of an eating disorder, including genetics, mental health, and cultural factors. While eating disorders are serious and can have life-threatening complications, they are also treatable illnesses.
How do I know if I have an ED?
If the way you eat and think about food interferes with your life and keeps you from enjoying life and moving forward, you may be experiencing disordered eating. Take it seriously and talk to someone who can help, this may be your primary care provider, or one of the helplines above.
GIVEAWAY DETAILS:
Candice is giving away a bunch of awesome prizes (including giftcards to some of your favorite crafty stores!) to random commenters along the hop!

Hi Everyone! I pulled out some yupo paper and some pink Ranger alcohol inks. I wet the yupo with the blending solution first and then added my alcohol ink. I used an air blower to help move the ink and solution around on my yupo paper.  Once the ink was where I wanted it I left it to dry. 

I then took a panel of Neenah solar white  and cut it out  3 times with the Hearts Entwined die from My Favorite Things. I then adhered them together with my Gina K connect glue. Then I took my alcohol ink panel and cut that with the  Hearts Entwined die and then adhered  it  offset to the diecut made of Neenah paper.  

I took a piece of black cardstock and spattered some gold paint on it. While it was drying I  heat embossed the You are loved sentiment from the From the Heart stamp set with white embossing powder. 


I adhered the diecut to the gold splattered black panel and then popped up the sentiment strip on top. There you have it!
