Happy Friday everyone!!! I’m back today with a great project using the new Hero Arts Color Layering Flamingo set and the coordinating die.

I started by stamping the Flamingo image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock using the Hero Arts Ombre pad in Pink to Red. Then I added the Black layers with a VersaFine Black ink pad. When using this stamp with the coordinating die you want to stamp the legs after you have die cut the image.. they line up a lot better.

I set the image aside and started on the background. On a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper I scribbled some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker in Cobalt Blue #31 and May Green #47. Then using a wet paint brush I added some water to move the colors around. I dried the panel with my heat tool and then I stamped the Water Ripples from the set using some Merman ink from Lawn Fawn. I stamped the Grass images with Jalapeño & Freshly Cut Grass Inks from Lawn Fawn as well.

I trimmed some of the side off the panel and then I stamped the sentiment in the upper left corner and adhered it to a Black Licorice card base with some Foam adhesive. I trimmed a 1/4″ off the piece I cut off from the panel and added that along the left side of the card with some additional foam tape to create a Black Strip. I added the Flamingo image to the front of the card with Foam tape and then I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the image. For a bit more Sparkle I added some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins from the Sparkling Clear mix.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Hi everyone… It’s Holly here today and I have a watercolored card using the gorgeous new set from Wplus9 called Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias. I used the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor set and some 140lb Canson Watercolor paper.

I stamped the image onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed it in White. Then I colored it in using the following colors from the Watercolor set. For the Flower I used No. 34 Dark Pink, Leaves No.53 Mid Green and a little No.52 Ocean Green. The Background wash is No.64 Blue. I added clean water to parts of the image and then I added the color using the wet on wet technique.

After the image panel was dry I die cut the panel using the Blueprints #15 from MFT. Then I die cut the Hello using the WPlus9 Hand Lettered Hello die, from the center of the image. I carefully removed all the pieces from the die and set them aside. Then I die cut four more Hello’s from some Black Licorice card stock from Lawn Fawn. I inlaid one of the Black Hello’s into the center of the image and then I stacked it with three more. I added the original Hello that I die cut from the image over the top of the stacked Hello’s. I added in all the tiny center pieces and then I stamped Dear Friend onto a piece of white card stock using some Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink and added it with Foam adhesive. I adhered the image panel to a Black top folding card base with my ATG gun.

Thanks for stopping in today!!! I’ll see ya next week with a new Video!

Hi Crafters! Valerie here, and I’m using Paper Smooches today; I created a fun birthday card! The products I’m featuring are newer and older, and we don’t carry some of them anymore, but I’ll still list all them here:

• Lucky Dog Two stamp set
• Delightful Greetings
• Frame 4 die
• Woofers and Tweeters stamp set and coordinating die set
• Woofers Extras die set
• Birthday Words die set

I stamped all the images using my Mini Misti stamp tool (love that baby!) (we have the Large size, too!). I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press IT Blending Card Paper, and colored them with my Copic Sketch markers (colors listed at the end).

For the card base background, I stamped the cute sentiments using Lawn Fawn’s Mermaid ink. And the background of the shaker portion has the images stamped using 3 Lawn Fawn inks: Lobster, Manatee, and Black Licorice. I filled the shaker with Pretty Pink Posh cupped sequins (all the colors are listed in the Supply list at the end of the post).

I added Glossy Accents to the dog’s nose, Zig Clear Wink of Stella to the bird, and a mixture of Shamrock Stickles and Blue Bayou Stickles to the dog’s collar.

Have a wonderful day, a great week, and Happy Crafting!
