Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me!  I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap. 

I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together? 

May Inked & Tiled Save

This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.  

INKED & TILED CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink.  We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now.  For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks.  It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad.  *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process!

Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!  

When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first.  If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it.  Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!

In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.

  • Winter Wishes & Abundant Beauty masks fun fold card; free tutorial & video!

    Today's project was inspired by my Team member Candace who made this cool fun fold card for a recent swap. 

    Oct Candace Beary Cute Save

    Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock. 

    My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).  

    I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here. 

    Winter Wishes fun fold Save

    I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front.  After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. 

    It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2".  I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!

    Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

    Directions:

    • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
    • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
    • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
    • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces.

    See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

     

    • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
    • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
    • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

    You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

  • Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!

    I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit.  It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards. 

    Rustic Christmas all Save

    I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon.  It's gorgeous!  The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside. 

    Rustic Christmas 3 Save

    I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings. 

    The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit. 

    For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies. 

    We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

     

     

     

    You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings.  The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit. 

     

    Rustic Christmas 1 Save

    See this kit here online.  Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long.  You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas. 

    The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well!  It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes.
