Inspire, Imagine, Dream


We are bringing back our favorite projects this month here at TRHD! 


Good day everyone, Leah here with another fun project for The Rabbit Hole Designs, using the Succulent Life Stamp Set.


I have created this hexagon-shaped shadow box using the images and sentiments from the Succulent Life clear stamp set.  I watercolored them on 140lb watercolor paper and then fussy-cut them out.  I added them to some "stems" so that I could layer them over the background paper (which I added some ink to with the Triangle Mosaic Stencil) to add depth to the project.  I added some Spanish moss and enamel dots to finish it off.

Oceans Of Love/Flower Whale

 Hi Rabbity Friends! Kelly Fusco here with a fun mixed media card featuring The Flower Whale Stamp.



To Start off I stamped the Flower Whale image onto 80lb Neenah cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored my whale with Gray Copics and I used Teals, Blues & dark reddish browns THEN I added some shimmer pen (a wink of stella) to it as well.. 
For my panel I used a piece of Watercolor cardstock and I wet it with a sprayer and then sprayed Blue, Light Blue & brown onto it . I added layers of colors and sometimes drying in between. After it was 100% dry I added some texture paste with a stencil for some dimension. I wanted it to look ocean-y. Is that a word? lol
Then I took my paper distresser and distressed the edges of the panel. I fussy Cut my whale out and I die cut the word "Love" and stacked it 3x high.
I added foam tape to the back of the whale and I curved my Love sentiment to curve along the top of the whale. 
I added Glossy Accents to the LOVE & to the floral parts of my whale and a few holographic flat back pearls. Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed Media Buzzed, A Fun Favorite!


Hi again! Lauren here sharing another favorite of this past year. This card is a favorite of mine because it is one of my first mixed media cards. I had been wanting to try mixed media for some time and this year I finally was able to give it a whirl! I am so glad I did because it was so fun creating this card. Here's how I did it!

Hi friends! I have been dabbling in mixed media a bit lately and am thoroughly enjoying it. I thought I would make a drippy honey/caffeine inspired card that included this fabulous Caffeinated Bee from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

I started out with a 4.25x5.5" panel which I primed with collage medium then quickly blow dried.

Then I used the Tastes Like Honey stencil, also from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I placed the stencil over my prepared panel and spread a generous amount of modeling paste over the stencil. I set it aside to dry completely (I started in the evening, so mine dried overnight).

Next, I added color to the dry panel using Fossilized Amber and Ground Espresso. I smooshed the ink pads on my glass mat and spritzed with water. I also sprayed my panel with water. Then using a paint brush, applied the color to the top and let the flow by tipping the panel.
When the ink had dried, I rotated the panel and did the same technique to the "bottom" of the panel.


While the panel way drying, I stamped my bee onto white cardstock and colored her using Prisma Color pencils. Then die cut her out.
The colors were:
Bee: Lemon Yellow, Canary Yellow, Spanish Orange, Yellowed Orange, 30%,50%,70%, 90% Warm Greys
Wings: Sky Blue Light, Caribbean Sea
Mug: Sky Blue Light, Caribbean Sea, Light Cerulean Blue

After that, I went back and splattered my panel with Ground Espresso and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. I set it aside to dry.
Then, I ink blended the Fossilized Amber through the stencil onto a 4.25x5.5" white cardstock panel. Using Gathered Twig Distress Oxide ink on a finger, I rubbed/distressed all around the edges of the panel. Then I adhered it to my top folding card base (same measurements).

Next, I trimmed down my "drippy honey" panel and bordered it with brown cardstock. Then I adhered it to my card base on an angle.
I stamped the sentiment onto brown cardstock using an embossing ink pad and heat embossed in white. I used a sentiment die from my stash to trim it down. I die cut a second sentiment strip of the same size in yellow and distressed it with some Gathered Twig D.O. I adhered those onto the card then added an action wobble to my bee and put her on too!
I hope you enjoy this mixed media card. I had a ton of fun making it and it was much easier than I had thought it was going to be. I hope it inspires you to give it a try as well! Thanks for visiting!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

It's an elegant Celebration!

Hello Rabbit Hole Designs Fans!! DTM Shanna here today a clean and simple celebration card using the Celebrate with Cake stamp set and Twisted Sunshine stencil!  


For this card, I opened for a very clean look with white on white with a touch of silver for the sentiment.  I used a micro glass bead gel over the Twisted Sunshine stencil on white cardstock to create my background.  While that was drying, I heat embossed the "celebrate" sentiment in sterling.  I actually heat embossed over the sentiment a total of 3 times, layering more embossing powder for a thicker, smoother finish.

I popped the sentiment onto the card using foam tape and I had a elegant Celebrate card fit for many occasions.  Wedding, baby shower/gender reveals, job promotions....the list goes on!  Celebrate with Cake can be used for SO much more than birthdays!!  


That wraps up my post for today, I will be back soon for another trip down The Rabbit Hole!  Until then you can find me over on my blog, Caffeinated Craftiness or over on Instagram! -Shanna
