Good Morning Magnolia with Craft Ink

I'm totally in love with the new Good Morning Magnolia Bundle (although I've only used the stamp set here).

Soft Suede cardstock, gold heat embossing and white craft ink make the Good Morning Magnolia image pop

For this card, I started out by stamping the image onto Soft Suede cardstock with Versamark, sprinkling with gold embossing powder and heating.

I then painted the flower with Whisper White Craft Ink and left it to dry.  I would recommend painting with the craft ink one day and finishing the project the next day.

I then used Flirty Flamingo ink and an almost dry brush to add colour to the petals.

I painted the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink and then added touches of Soft Suede ink with an almost dry brush.

I also painted the stem with Soft Suede ink as well as adding some to the very centre of the flower.

I used the Out Of the Box Technique and the largest Stitched Nested Label die to cut out the flower before using Early Espresso ink to stamp the greeting.

The base card is Soft Suede and there's a layer of Blushing Bride embossed with the Basket Weave 3D embossing folder.

For a touch more bling, I added some Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Let It Ride horse image with Frosted Bouquet die and the Outside The Box technique
to look somewhat like a horse in a horsebox or stable

As soon as I saw this gorgeous horse image I knew I wanted to use it with the Out Of The Box technique.  Having gone through most of my dies I decided this  label from the Frosted Bouquet framelits was the best fit.  And then the shape of it made me think of a horse box, especially since I was left with the spare timber look rectangle after cutting the frame.

I continued the timber theme with layers of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, one of which I altered with some Whisper White Craft Ink and the new Crackle Paint stamp.

The horse is coloured with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers.

Since the first card I made didn't utilise any of the amazing freebies from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, I made the card below with the gorgeous foil sheets as a feature. 

Shimmer everywhere with the gorgeous (and FREE with a $90 product purchase)
Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure

The butterfly is a leftover from this card and is black heat embossed on the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet and coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  

Onto the Thick Whisper White base card I've layered Basic Black, a piece of the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut paper with some of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet underneath it.

You've Got This Foil Frenzy

The You've Got This stamp set remains one of my favourites

I still love colouring this "You've Got This" flower!

This time I stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink and watercoloured.

I cut it out with one of the Layering Ovals framelits using the Out of the Box technique and then searched around for something to complete the card.  These little offcuts of Foil Frenzy seemed to fit the bill.

Thank you for visiting.

You've Got This Blend

I'm currently having a great weekend in the Gold Coast - the highlight being On Stage on Saturday.  I'll share more information on that later in the week and I'll share sneak peeks from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue as soon as possible!

My swaps for On Stage - I made several in each colour

These are samples of the swaps I took with me to On Stage.  The You've Got This flowers are coloured with the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and cut out using the out of the box technique (keep scrolling down for a tutorial on that technique).

Cherry Cobbler and You've Got This

I used four alcohol markers for each flower.  For the Cherry Cobbler version I used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin' blends as well as the Calypso Coral.

Daffodil Delight You've Got This

For the Daffodil Delight version, I used the Pumpkin Pie markers as well as the Daffodil Delight pair.

Rich Razzleberry You've Got This

For the Rich Razzleberry sample, I used team those two markers with the two Pink Pirouette markers.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

Out of The Box Technique Tutorial

Out of the Box Technique - Step 1

Position your chosen die on your project and use a pencil to lightly draw around the inside of the die

Out of the Box Technique - Step 2

Determine which parts will be outside of the die cut and, using your snips, cut straight up to those parts of the image - try to cut at a 90 degree angle to the image.
Note:  I had quite a few separate pieces sticking out of the die cut so there are quite a few cuts!

Out of the Box Technique - Step 3

Carefully fussy cut around the parts of the image that stick out from the pencil line (which is where the die will cut)

Out of the Box Technique - Step 4

Making sure that the cutting edge is facing down towards your project, slip the die underneath the parts of the image that will be outside of the die cut.  Tip:  You may need to turn the die to make this step easier and then straighten it once you've successfully slipped it under the necessary parts of the image.

Run the piece through your Big Shot (or similar die cutting machine) in the usual way.

Out of the Box Technique - Step 5 - the finished piece
