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!

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!
