Distress Oxide Sprays with Hibiscus Layering Dies



I made these flowers a long time ago but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. To make the flowers, I used Distress Oxide Sprays to color sheets of similar colored cardstock from my stash. Because I made these so long ago, I don't remember the exact colors used.




Once the cardstock was dry, I made the Hibiscus's using Lawn Fawn's Happy Hibiscus Die Cuts. I cut another large leaf from Lawn Fawn's Tropical Leaf Die Set. I then die cut my leftover green sheets from Paper Rose's Palm Leaf Frame to fill up the rest of the background. 



Once all the die cutting was complete, I messed around with where to place the die cuts until I found a layout I liked and glued them down. I picked a sentiment from Altenew's Sentiment Strip 3 Stamp Set and placed it towards the top of the card. Finally, I added embellishments from Trinity Stamps.

Iron-Off Embossed Resist on Dark Cardstock with Distress Oxide Sprays

Image
  I'm starting to build up my Christmas card collection for this year and decided I wanted to use an iron-off emboss resist technique to create some quick card sets. To create these cards, I first stamped Colorado Craft Company's Big & Bold Warm Wishes Snowflake Clear Stamp with Veramark Ink onto various dark colored cardstock from Taylored Expressions.  I then used WOW Embossing Powder Clear Gloss which created a darker shiny image of the snowflake as shown above. I then put the card in a cardboard box so that I could use Distress Oxide Spray to add color to the cards. I placed some paper towels in the box to absorb the excess and placed the card down so that the top of the card was closest to me. I lightly misted the card so that there would be a higher concentration of color at the top of the card. I chose two colors of Distress Oxide Spray for each color of cardstock. The colors used are listed below.  Pink:  Kitsch Flamingo , Worn  Lipstick Purple: D...

Embossed Vellum Cardfront with Copic Coloring

Image
  To create these cards, I first cut an A2 card front from Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 110# Cardstock and a sheet of vellum cut to 4.25" by 6" so that it was slightly taller than my A2 card front. I scored the vellum using a Scor-Pal at 5.5" and enforced the scoreline using a Teflon Bone Folder . I then stamped Simon Says Stamp's Hibiscus Blooms Stamp Set onto my white card front using Gina K Designs Obsidian Amalgam Ink using my MISTI .  Without moving the image in my MISTI, I stamped the sheet of vellum using Versamark Ink so that the stamp would align at the bottom of the vellum and heat embossed the image with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder . I also stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Altenew's Bouquet of Love Stamp Set to the vellum. To heat emboss on vellum without warping, I used a heavy weight vellum and constantly moved my heat tool while embossing so that it wasn't on one area for more then about a second. I made sure to take the ...

Northern Lights Background Holiday Card Sets

Image
I created these holiday card sets using the  Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Classic August 2023 Card Kit . Hero Arts card kits are released the first Saturday of every month and they have several  subscription options or can be purchased individually. However, once a kit is sold out, they are no longer available. This card kit was nature themed and comes with dies to create trees lines, mountains, and canyons as well as embossing powders and cardstock, but I decided to use some of the dies for holiday cards instead.  For each card, I first stamped the northern lights using a stamp from  Hero Arts Northern Lights Polar Bears Stamp Set onto Neenah Solar White 110# Cardstock with VersaMark Ink and embossed the image with  WOW Opaque Bright White Superfine Embossing Powder . I then ink blended the background using Distress Oxide Inks and blending brushes from Simon Says Stamp . Because I heat embossed the northern lights, the embossing ...
