Hello, welcome to my blog!!
Happy Friday! I hope everyone is safe and doing okay with everything going on. We are doing well here and pray that things can get back to normal soon.
For today's card project, I wanted to create a clean and simple card with some bright, cheerful colors. I decided to not let the negative die cut pieces go to waste, so I created a bonus card! I will be using regular Distress Inks to do ink blending with my blender brushes. Let's get started!!
I will be doing all of my work on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat.
To start, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Paper Trimmer. To create a rainbow ink blend, I will be using four ink pads to create six colors. Using my Blender Brushes, I start with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and blend at the top right corner of my panel, fading out a bit to blend my next color. Next, I use Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink, this time blending a wider band as this color will be used to create two additional colors. I blend back into the previous color to create an orange blend. Next, I blend Salty Ocean Distress Ink, blending back into the previous color to create a green blend, I then fade out a bit to blend my next color. Finally, I end with Wilted Violet Distress Ink, blending back into the previous color. This completes my ink blending.
Next, I take another 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Neenah White Cardstock and cut out using my Mixed Media 2 Die, running them through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. Before finishing this card, I use the die cut panel as a template for my next card. I place the panel over a 4 1/4" x 5" panel of Peacock Cardstock. Using the die cut panel as a template, I start gluing all of the pieces back into their openings using Liquid Glue. After all of the pieces are glued into place, I carefully remove the die cut panel.
I now adhere my panel onto a white card base using Double Sided Tape, centering so there is a white edge on top and bottom. Next, I choose a sentiment from Script Greetings. Next, I prep a piece of Black Cardstock with my Anti Static Powder Bag then stamp my sentiment using Versamark Ink. I then add Detail White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. Using my Sentiment Banners Die, I cut out my sentiment running it through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. I then adhere to the front of the card using Foam Tape. This completes the card.
Back to my first card... I adhere the die cut panel onto my blended panel using Liquid Glue. I then adhere onto a white card base.
For my greeting, I use the die from Love Die And Stamp Set cut out of white cardstock two times running through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. I then blend Picked Raspberry Distress Ink onto a scrap of white cardstock then cut out with the same die. Next, I stack and glue the three dies together with the pink on top using Liquid Glue. I choose a sentiment from the same set and stamp onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink then trim into a strip and angle cut the two ends. I adhere the strip onto the Love die cut and adhere to the front of my card using Liquid Glue. This completes the card.
This finishes up today's two cards. I love using dies that you can use both the negative and positive parts of the die cut, giving you two cards. Though the teal colored card took a little more time inlaying all of the pieces, I find it to be very relaxing and therapeutic! If you enjoy putting puzzles together, this is the technique for you!!
