Easy Ink Blended Note Cards

 Hello and welcome back crafters!  Joy here with two simple ink blended note cards to share with you today.  Do you ever find yourself needing a quick note card and never have one handy?  I'm finding that I have that exact same problem  In my opinion a little note can brighten someone's day, so I try to include one when returning casserole dishes, or when I borrow something from a neighbor, etc.  Which brings me to our project today!  



I massed produced two designs using the Butterfly Stencil using an easy blend of two distress oxide inks.  I started out by cutting down 4x4inch squares and to blend my inks onto. On one design I heat embossed "hello you" by using two sentiments from the Butterfly Kiss stamp set and other, a sentiment from the Pretty in Peony stamp set.  



In addition to the ink blending I added faux stitching with a white a gel pen.  On the the 5 inch square base, I added just bit of white ink to make the center panel pop.  These are super easy to reproduce and I hope you will give it a try!

Clean and Simple Chameleon


 Hello! It's Lauren here again with this easy, clean and simple Caffeinated Chameleon card. This little guy is one of favorite Caffeinated Critters yet! There is so much you can do with him! 

For my card today, I chose to have him blend in with both the white background and the leaf circle. 

Creating the leaf circle was my first step in making this card. Using a circle die from my stash, I die cut a circle out of a  piece of regular copy paper.


I then positioned the circle over a white 4.25" x 5.5" cardstock panel and adhered it down using washi tape.


Then over the circle, I adhered the Amanda stencil down. 


With the stencil secure, I blended Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink over the stencil. I made sure to ink the whole circle area. Then I carefully removed both the stencil and the copy paper from the white cardstock panel.



Next, I stamped the chameleon in black ink on a separate piece of white cardstock. I positioned the paper with the chameleon over the panel with the leaf circle where I wanted the colored chameleon to end up. Then I lined up the copy paper circle over the chameleon and the circle on the cardstock. I used Prisma color pencils to color part of the chameleon that showed through the circle green to match the leaves.  



I then die cut him out using the matching Caffeinated Chameleon die. Then used colored pencils to add shading to the rest of the chameleon and also color the mug blue.




Before adhering my chameleon on the panel, I trimmed the panel down using a wonky stitched rectangle die from my stash. I then lined up the green curve of my chameleon with the leaf circle and adhered him on.

To create my sentiment, I stamped the #caffeineismycamo in Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I them covered it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heat set it. I trimmed the sentiment down and adhered it above the circle.


To finish the card, I adhered the panel onto an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") black cardstock panel and then onto my top folding card base.

I hope my card inspires you to give this stenciling technique with your Caffeinated critters. Thanks for visiting!

Caffeine Is My Camo

 Hello Everyone! Von Marie here and I am so happy to be on the blog today. I have a fun Card to share with you using the Newest Products from the latest Release.


I'm using the Caffeinated Chameleon and I wanted my Caffeinated Chameleon card to be really Colorful. So I stamped this lizard onto Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock and colored it purple and it's markings rainbow colors using Copic Markers. I then cut it out with the Caffeinated Chameleon Dies. I used the Build Your Garden Stencil with 80lb white Cardstock using a rainbow of colored Dye inks and blending Brushes. I did mask of area so I didn't make a mess. I then used a Notched stitched A2 rectangle die to cut my inked background out.


I then added my panel to a A2 card base and Stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with a Crisp Black ink. I added my Caffeinated Chameleon with Double Thick Crystal Clear Foam Tape 5MM, and for fun some yellow enamel drops to the centers of my flowers. I hope you like my card, it was so fun to make!

Butterfly Kiss with clouds in the grass!

Hello friends! I have a cute card to share today with the newly released Butterfly Kiss stamp set and coordinating die from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I paired it with the clouds in my coffee stencil, using it not only for the sky, but my grass as well!



I absolutely love this Butterfly Kiss stamp set. I stamped all of the images, colored, and die cut them. To make the background, I covered the bottom of my white panel with an oval to block off where I wanted my grass mound to go. Then, using the Clouds in my Coffee stencil, I blended Speckled Egg distress oxide to build my sky.


When I finished building my clouds, I stamped the sentiment directly to the panel. Next, I used an oval frame to blend Mowed Lawn distress ink to make the mound. Then, I used the Clouds in my Coffee stencil to add shape to my grass mound.


Next, I adhered the images that I die cut to the scene I had built. To finish my card, I adhered it to a green card base. 


Thank you so much for stopping by!

A Masterpiece and a Work in Progress


Hey yall!  Happy Sunday, hope you are all enjoying a wonderful weekend. Tangii here, with another share from the June Release.  This time I'm playing with the Butterfly Stencil and the Clouds in my Coffee stencil.


When I do clouds I always just go to blues, but this time I decided to do some yellows & orange.  I love a me cloudy sunset!  Once my Oxide inks were dry, I placed my Butterfly stencil and slathered it with a thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel.  The jar says to give it an hour or so to dry, but it stays tacky once dry so it can go longer if need be (I ran to the grocery store).  I picked some pretty deep purple DecoFoil, and I just LOVE it against those yellows!  I did run mine through a hot laminator instead of hand pressing.  Finally I stamped my sentiment in a dark gray ink... voila!
