Plushoween from Mama Elephant

We're loving this cute card using the new Plushoween stamp and die from Mama Elephant.  We stamped the image using Copic friendly ink onto Copic friendly paper.  Then, colored with our Copic markers.


We cut several pieces of orange and black cardstock using the Scallop Fringed die from MFT Stamps and layered it up on the front of the card  (love that die!)

Together from Neat and Tangled

Today we're sharing a couple cards created with the Together stamp and die from Neat and Tangled.  We combined these with a simple watercolor background using Distress Inks.  Super fun, and super easy!


We created  the striped, watercolor background above, using some Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  We placed the inks on a non-porous surface.  We picked up the ink with a wet, flat brush, and painted striped lines (approximately 1 inch wide) alternating the colors.  We dried the paper with our heat tool (we're too impatient to wait), then painted a second (darker layer) repeating this process until we had a color and blend we were happy with.


We also used Distress Ink for the pink card shown above.  We placed the ink on a non-porous surface.  We picked up the ink with a wet, flat brush, and painted 2/3 of the watercolor paper.  We dried the paper with our heat tool (we're too impatient to wait), then painted a second (darker layer) starting approximately 1/2 inch from where we started the first layer of color.  We repeated this process, drying the paper after each layer, then starting the next layer approximately 1/2 inch down from the last layer, until the sheet was  covered with 1/2 inch stripes.

You're A-Maze-ing from MFT Stamps

We're loving this fun and interactive card created using the You're A-maze-ing stamp and accessories from MFT Stamps.

The background is stamped onto kraft paper using the Diagonal Stripe background stamp and Unicorn White ink from Hero Arts.

The Circle Shaker Window and Frame die make it easy to assemble the interactive maze.

You Float My Boat from MFT Stamps

Happy Monday crafty friends!   Today we're sharing two super, simple cards.

We created a striped, watercolor background using some Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  We placed the ink on a non-porous surface.  We picked up the ink with a wet, flat brush, and painted the entire sheet of watercolor paper.  We dried the paper with our heat tool (we're too impatient to wait), then painted a second (darker layer) starting approximately 1/2 inch from the top of the paper.  We repeated this process, drying the paper after each layer, then starting the next layer approximately 1/2 inch down from the last layer, until the sheet was completely covered with 1/2 inch stripes.


We cut two backgrounds (one rectangle and one circle) from the watercolored paper.  We added some stamped images, a sentiment and cute heart embellishment.
