Perfect Balance - Light Up Birthday Card

 

Hello crafty friends!  I am super excited to be back with this fun interactive light up card. I have been taking a break from crafting to allow my eye to heal.  I had eye surgery for a detached retina. It is healing well, but may still take a few more weeks to get the total focus back.

Today I am sharing a card I made for The Rabbit Hole Designs April release. I using the Namaste stamp set with coordinating dies paired with the Year 4 Birthday stamp set (by Agota Pop) 
I stamped the the Namaste yoga sheep and colored it with Red and Red Violet OLO markers. I am using it for the cupcake frosting.  I created a mask to cover the yoga sheep and stamped the cupcake from the Year 4 Birthday stamp set and colored it with Blue Green OLO markers. I fussy cut the cupcake image and I added a clay candle to the sheep's back.
I positioned the cupcake image on 4" x 5 1/4" to find the placement for the candle flame and the sentiment. I secured the small candle flame die and cutting out using the PB Press Stamp & Die set.  I added the sentiment to the card front.  I turned the card front over a d glued a small piece of yellow vellum behind the candle flame window.  I positioned the One Light behind the flame and marked where the button placement is on the card front. Using the PB Press Stamp and Die set, I stamped a starburst over the area marked for the button placement on the card front.  I added double thick double sided foam tape to frame out the one light and back of the card front.  I attached the card front to a pink A2 card base and attached the yoga cupcake to complete the card.

A "thanks" goes a long way

 



Who remembers to say Thank You when you should?  I don't mean when someone opens the door for you or when someone says bless you.  I mean when someone does something kind out of the blue or when they think about you when they know you're having a hard day.  Do you say thank you?  These small, little acts of kindness shouldn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.  

I made this card using The Rabbit Hole Designs newest stencil called Deco Flower.  I love playing with the different colors when designing with it.  I chose grey for a modern look.  The "thanks" die is also from TRHD.  This was a very simple card that took only about 10 minutes to make.  

I challenge you to recreate this. Make sure to tag me @craftwithme101 and The Rabbit Hole Designs on Instagram if you do.

Deco Flower Clean & Simple Card

Hello and welcome back to the blog; it's Rick back with you again this week to share another crafty project using the fabulous products from the Rabbit Hole Designs.  This week I have a CAS card to share with you using the Deco Flower 6-Layer Stencil Bundle.    My sentiment for this clean and simple card design comes from the Namaste 4 x 6 Stamp Set.  Here's a look at my clean and simple card design.  


 To start off my card design I used a blue ink for to ink blend the "sky" and a green ink for the "grass" using my CottonTail Blending Brushes.  I gave the "grass" a slight hill shape with the ink blending since I knew I wanted this to be a CAS card.  Once I had the background ink blended I started working on my focal images with the Deco Flower Layer Stencil Bundle.  I used a piece of 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" white cardstock and placed the first layer of the stencil on top and started the ink blending process.  I picked some spring colors of ink for the ink blending; and worked my way through all the layers.  Once the ink blending was completed I took the matching die from the Deco Flower Layering Stencil Bundle and cut out three of the flowers.  The great thing about starting out with the larger piece of white cardstock is I have plenty of room to die cut more of these loverly spring flowers for more cards.  


Before I started the die-cutting process I flicked on some clean water on my ink blended background to create a little texture.  After I had my spring florals die cut out I placed them on to the card base using some of the small foam adhesive squares from the Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Micro Squares.  I placed the three floral die-cuts onto the center of the panel without attaching them first.  I placed my card front in my stamp positioning tool and stamped my sentiment from the Namaste Stamp Set in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink right above where my center flower was going to go.  I then removed the backings from my die cuts and attached them to the card front.  I finished off my card by adding a few Clear Sparkle Enamel Dots sprinkled around the card.  

Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful and creative weekend.  

Rick

Harmony: Pond Scene Card

 Hello and welcome to the blog; it's Rick back with you again today to share with you a card I created using the Harmony Stamp Set.  I wanted to create a card that reminded me of a Koi pond, so that's exactly what I did.  You may think that this was really hard to achieve but actually it really wasn't.  

Harmony Scene Card by Rick Adkins

To start off my card I simply had to stamp out the image from the Harmony Stamp Set a few different times in different directions.  I just needed to fill up my A2 card front with this beautiful fish.  Because I knew I was going to be doing some glazing with my alcohol markers to achieve the look of the fish under water.  I stamped them each time in an alcohol marker friendly ink.  Once I had all the fish that I wanted on my card front stamped out I could then start the coloring process.  

When the fish where all colored and the alcohol markers had completely dried, I could start the glazing process.   All glazing means is you take a transparent or semi-transparent media and apply  over your first application of color.  The result is a rich layer of color that can change the tone of value of the color underneath.  Renaissance artist used this technique a lot to mix their paints to get the vivid and sometimes iridescent hues you can see in their paintings.  As you can see with the fish on my card it gives the illusion that they are actually under the water surface.  

Harmony Scene Card by Rick Adkins Flat Lay

Once I had all the coloring complete I prepped the card front with my Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool and stamped the sentiment from the Harmony Stamp Set in an embossing ink.  I then covered the sticky ink with gold embossing powder.  Once completely covered I used my heat tool to heat set the embossing powder.  After the embossing powder had cooled I took my You've Been Framed Dies (I will tell you that this die set is my most used die set in my craft room.)  and cut out the inside panel.  I used the next to largest of the rectangle dies to cut the center out.   I then poked out all the little dots that didn't come out on their own, and then placed a piece of gold foiled cardstock behind this layer to create a mat.  I attached the outside piece from my design onto my card front, this piece fit my A2 size card.  

I then placed the matted card front in the center of my card base using just a little adhesive. If you wanted to pop up this layer with some Scrapbook Adhesive 3D Foam Squares that would give you more dimension on the card and look absolutely fabulous.  To finish off my card I added a few of the Clear Sparkle Enamel Dots (another staple in my craft room) to add a little bling to the card.  There you have it my crafty friends, how I created this gorgeous Harmony Pond Scene Card.  I hope that you have a fabulous and safe weekend.

Silly Rainbow Sheep? Yes please!


 Hi friends!  Today I have another for you using The Rabbit Hole Designs newest release.  This stamp set is fittingly called Namaste.  These silly sheep are definitely striking a pose. I love their goofy faces while they are doing so.  I realized I hadn't created a rainbow themed card in a bit so I colored them in a rainbow color scheme.  I just love rainbows.  Don't they just make you smile?  

This being a clean and simple card, I thought it was ok to go a little crazy with the colors but this would be really cute as a black and white card as well.  Maybe coloring them all white with one black sheep.  We all know black sheep have more fun.  :)

I challenge you to recreate this. Make sure to tag me @craftwithme101 and The Rabbit Hole Designs on Instagram if you do.

Quick Springtime Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends, it's Rick back with you again this week to share a springtime birthday card with you.  This card actually came together super easy.  Especially with the help of the Deco Flower 6 x 6 Layering Stencil Bundle from The Rabbit Hole Designs.   If you have not seen this cute set of stencil and the floral background that it creates you are missing out. 




The Deco Flower 6 - Layering Stencil Bundle comes with the six layering stencil to create the floral background pattern that you see on my card today.  But it also comes with a coordinating die to cute out one of the flowers.  You can actually cut out any of the flowers from the design using this one die.  Which opens up the possibilities for so many more projects.  


Each stencil is numbered and it's actually more easy to line them up than you may think.  I made about four different backgrounds in about an hour.  And could have made more if I didn't have to come in to cook dinner.  I cut this panel down to a 3 3/4" x 5" and popped it onto a mat layer cut from black cardstock (cut at 4" x 5 1/4") and attached it to a standard A2 size card base.  



To finish off my design I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Mindful Magnolia Stamp Set onto a piece of white cardstock in black ink.  I trimmed down the sentiment into a smaller strip and matted it with a layer of black cardstock before attaching it to the center of my card.  Then all I had to do was add a few of the Matte White Enamel Dots sprinkled around the card.  

And there you have it, how I made this super quick springtime birthday card.  I hope that you give this new stencil a try.  I do have one piece of advice to share with you.  I did find it much easier to ink up using the Bitty Bunny Blending Brushes instead of the larger Cottontail Blending Brushes, just because of their size.  I would highly recommend pick up a few of them when you order this stencil bundle.  You can thank me later.  

Happy Crafting 

Rick

How about a mid century modern vibe?

 

Today I am showing you a card using The Rabbit Hole Designs new stencil called Deco Flower.  It is a multi layer stencil and is perfect for  spring.  I made this card using a more mid century modern pallet, with the yellow, greens and rust colors.  To finish it off I used TRHD die "you've been framed" and their "Thanks" sentiment to add it to my thank you card stash.  I just love this stencil.  It is easily one of my favorites.  Did I mention, there is a coordinating die that you can use to cut out the stenciled images individually?  Yep!  How fun is that?! 

Check out this stencil and the rest of The Rabbit Hole Designs newest release over on their site.  All products used are linked in this blog. 

I challenge you to recreate this. Make sure to tag me @craftwithme101 and The Rabbit Hole Designs on Instagram if you do.
