In this video, I will combine copic coloring with heat embossing. Today I will color the beautiful flowers from the Poppy Hawthrown Stamp Set from Waffle Flower Crafts and also share some simple copic coloring tips.
I first stamped my florals in Coffee Loves Milk Dye Ink onto white cardstock. I then copic colored my image in. Next, I stamped the flowers again but this time with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then die cut the flowers out with the matching die. I then created my card base by adhering a 65lb tan A2 top-folding card base over an A2 110lb white card base trimmed 1/8″ from the bottom.
Next, I stamped and gold heat embossed a sentiment and then splatter white Gansai Tambi watercolor. I then finished the card by adhering the flowers with foam tape. I did trim off one leaves so there wasn’t so much over hang from the flowers. I then and adhered that leaf to the lower left corner of the flower arrangement with foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello all! In today’s video I create bold patterned focal points by combining nesting dies and inlaid diecutting. Watch as I create lots of contrast by simply rotating the diecuts of simple ink blended panels. I also see how I create acetate card base from transparency sheets!
Inlaid Diecuts with Blended Panels and Transparency Card Base
First, I ink blended panels created with either the largest square, circle, or oval from the nesting sets with Distress Oxides. I then die cut the panels with every other die from the nesting sets. Next, I adhered the panels back together on another a black panel but this time I alternated the orientation of the diecuts to create contrast.
Next, I stamped and die cut “Happy Retirement”. I also stamped and white heat embossed a second part of my sentiment onto black cardstock and then trimmed it down to a strip.
I then stamped the inside sentiment onto an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then scored and folded a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ sheet of acetate in half to create a card base.
I then glued the stamped A2 panel to the inside of the acetate card base and then glued a second blank A2 white panel to the back side of the the card base to hide the glue. I trimmed the inlaid die cut then glued it to the front of the card and on the inside adhered a matching shaped die cut to hide glue.
Lastly, I finished my cards by adhering my sentiments to the inlaid die cut panel on the front of my cards.
I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and video! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello friends!! I’m popping in today for a very worthwhile cause. Pinkfresh Studio has decided to forego a weekend promo to instead organize a Designer Picks event to raise funds to help those impacted by hurricane Dorian! Pinkfresh will be donating 100% of net profits from sales this weekend (Friday 9/6 – Sunday 9/8) to hurricane relief.
Pinkfresh has graciously included in this Designer Picks event! And I am so so happy that I can help in some small way.
So without further ado, let’s reveal my pick and check out my card! 🙂
There is so much to love about Pinkfresh’s latest release, but if you twisted my arm and forced me to choose I think I’d have to say that the Flower Garden Stamp Set. The first card I made with this set I watercolored over embossed resist and I loved the finished results. But I knew later I would have to do some no-line coloring with these beautiful florals as well! So, surprise! That’s what I have to share today!
First, I stamped the image in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto a panel, slightly smaller than an A2 panel (4.125″ x 5.375″), of Bristol paper. I then watercolored the images in with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
Red Flowers: 856 Center: 993, 933
Large Purple Flowers: 685 Center: 993, 933
Tiny Purple Flowers: 620
Yellow Flower: 055, 993, 933
Orange Flower: 993, 933 Center: 055
Leaves: 133, 379
Tiny Stems: 312
Once I had finished coloring, I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Flower Garden Stamp Set onto black cardstock and then trimmed down with scissors and a paper trimmer.
I then adhered the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base and added my sentiment with foam tape. Lastly I finished my card with Clear Drops adhered with Nuvo Crystal Drops, Morning Dew.
I hope you all enjoyed! And please head over to Pinkfresh to check out the other incredible designer picks and maybe do a little shopping for a good cause while you are there! 😉
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
There are lots of incredible products in this new release including 2 new bundles, lots of nesting dies, and a darling set by a brand new illustrator!
Let’s dive right in a take a look at the incredibly sweet Flower Girl Combo Set illustrated by Cassie Loizeaux. I couldn’t resist going full sparkle with this set, so prepare yourself for lots of glitter and sequins! 🙂
First, I stamped the first layer for my images in Memento Tuxedo Black. Then I stamped the second layer (top and flowers) in Memento Cantaloupe, Angel Pink and Rocket Red Gold Brilliance Ink. I used the partial inking technique to create a soft gradation. Next, I copic colored my images. Once I had finished my copic coloring, I stamped my second layer again, including the wings, in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with MBoss Iridescent Embossing Powder to add sparkle. Next, I die cut my images out with the matching dies.
Next, I die cut an A2 panel with the Cloudscape Panel Die. I then tossed the ground and top sky section and then trimmed off the ground and sky divider from the frame. Next, I ink blended New Fish In Pond Dye Ink at the tops of the four remaining cloud sections. Then, I covered two sections with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with more MBoss Iridescent Embossing Powder. Next, I glued one of the embossed cloud layers to one of the not embossed layers and then glued them to the frame. I then trimmed off any over hang with my scissors and stamped my sentiment. Next, I ink blending a background with Safe Choice, Tickled Pink, You Said What, and Oh Happy Day dye ink onto an A2 top-folding card base. I then die cut a craft foam frame using the Rainbow Panel Die and adhered it to my card front. I then filled my shaker with clear sequins. I then topped my shaker off with a A2 panel of acetate, then adhered my frame, and lastly my girl.
Next up is the new Bear Hugs Combo illustrated by Big Bear and Bird!
I decided to bust out my Prismacolor pencils for this sweet set. A video tutorial for this card will be available Saturday,September 21st at Waffle Flower Crafts as well as on my YouTube channel and blog.
First I stamped the image Antique Linen Distress ink onto white cardstock. I then colored all the critters in with Prismacolor colored pencils. Next, I die cut the group out with the matching die. I then die cut a circle frame from tan cardstock and white cardstock using two circle dies from the Nesting Circles Die Set and adhered the two together.
I then ink blending the front of an A2 top-folding card base with Crack Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. Then darkened the sides of the card with a little Pine Needles Distress Ink and then added water splatters. Next, I used my image as a guild and curved a sentiment from the Bear Hugs Stamp Set on my MISTI and then stamped it onto the card front in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I then finished card by adhering the circle frame with liquid glue and then the critters with foam tape.
Next up is the adorable Little Artists Combo Set illustrated by the amazing Liz Mytinger!!
I thought this would be a fun set to try a color changing card with!! There will be a video for this card coming Wednesday, September 18th.
First, I stamped, copic colored, and die cut my images out. Next, I stamped the framed mouse on a piece of acetate in Stazon Jet Black Ink.
I then constructed my slider channel on my colored frame mouse and then made a tag with a strip of white cardstock, using one of the new Nesting Circles Dies to round the top and then punching a hole at the top for a twine pull. I also stamped “pull” using the Open Here Stamp Set.
Next, I popped my tag into the channel and adhered the acetate framed mouse onto and then the colored frame onto of that. I finished my card by ink blending a little New Fish in Pond Dye Ink on the background, then stamped a sentiment from the Rainbows Stamp Set, and lastly adhered my slider and mouse.
Next, up is the beautiful Poppy Hawthorn Combo illustrated Karla Jodoin.
I typically watercolor my florals but this time I decided to try something a little different, that is for me anyways, and do some copic coloring and heat embossing. A video for this card will be available Saturday, September 14th.
I first stamped my florals in Coffee Loves Milk Dye Ink onto white cardstock. I then copic colored my image in. Next, I stamped the flowers again but this time with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then die cut the flowers out with the matching die. I then created my card base by adhering a 65lb tan A2 top-folding card base over an A2 110lb white card base trimmed 1/8″ from the bottom.
Next, I stamped and gold heat embossed a sentiment and then splatter white Gansai Tambi watercolor. I then finished the card by adhering the flowers with foam tape. I did trim off one leaves so there wasn’t so much over hang from the flowers. I then and adhered that leaf to the lower left corner of the flower arrangement with foam tape.
And last but not least, is the Happy Retirement Combo designed by JJ Bolton and the new Nesting Circles, Squares, and Ovals Die Sets.
I experimented with contrast through inlay die-cutting and ink blended panels and create three vibrant cards. A video for this technique will be available Wednesday, September 11th.
First, I ink blended panels created with either the largest square, circle, or oval from the nesting sets with Distress Oxides. I then die cut the panels with every other die from the nesting sets. Next, I adhered the panels back together on another a black panel but this time I alternated the orientation of the diecuts to create contrast.
Next, I stamped and die cut “Happy Retirement”. I also stamped and white heat embossed a second part of my sentiment onto black cardstock and then trimmed it down to a strip.
I then stamped the inside sentiment onto an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then scored and folded a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ sheet of acetate in half to create a card base.
I then glued the stamped A2 panel to the inside of the acetate card base and then glued a second blank A2 white panel to the back side of the the card base to hide the glue. I trimmed the inlaid die cut then glued it to the front of the card and on the inside adhered a matching shaped die cut to hide glue.
Lastly, I finished my cards by adhering my sentiments to the inlaid die cut panel on the front of my cards.
And that’s it!! I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends!! I just wanted to pop in today and share a video I made demonstrating how to create your own wobble!! I was surprise at how easy it was to do and how well it actually worked!! So I had to make a video and share with all of you!!
I first stamped a sentiment from the Cheering For You Stamp Set onto an A2 panel of colored cardstock. I then stamped a background with one of the sports balls in the set with corresponding colored ink.
Next, I stamped Hope and an accessory in Memento Tuxedo Black and then copic colored them. I then created my own wobble. After I created the wobble, I then adhered it onto my card and adhered Hope and her accessory on top! I then finished Hope off with a little Nuvo Crystal Drops on her eyes and nose.
I hope you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
I first die cut most of the elements of the house out of white cardstock. However, I did use either dark gray cardstock or pattern paper for the curtains, steps, planter boxes, and top of the door.
Next, I added score lines to the house and the eaves. I then ink blended over the many of diecuts with a variety of inks to add color and depth.
Next, I adhered all the diecuts together to construct the house. I then ink blended Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide over the front of a A2 side-folding card base. I then score the front of the card at 2 1/8 to create the easel fold.
Next, I ink blending Peeled Paint Distress Oxide and Distress Ink over a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel.
I then stamped a sentiment from the Journey and Wild and Free Stamp Sets in Barn Door Distress Oxide onto the panel.
Next, I assembled the card by adhering the house to the lower half of the card front, then adhering the panel to the inside of the card, and lastly, adhering some stepping stones and flowers to the inside of the card.
Next, up is the adorable Camp Trailer Die!
Guys, I’m so excited about this camper die!! My dream is to one day own a vintage camper and I had so much fun designing my own little camper even if it was only paper!
I basically die cut all the components out of white cardstock and then ink blended the die cuts to add color. I did use sliver cardstock for other components of the campers and of course for the body of my “airstream” trailer.
Once I finished ink blending, I adhering all the components together. I then diecut a top-folding card base with the trailer die to make a shaped card and then adhered the trailers to the front.
I finished the cards with a heat embossed sentiment using the Wild and Free Stamp Set and matching dies.
And last is the cute Hope the Hedgehog Stamp Set!
Isn’t she too cute! She expresses so much excitement and joy that I decided to turn her into a wobble!!
I first stamped a sentiment from the Cheering For You Stamp Set onto an A2 panel of colored cardstock. I then stamped a background with one of the sports balls in the set with corresponding colored ink.
Next, I stamped my other images and then copic colored them. I then created my own wobble and tomorrow I’ll share a video on how I did that. After I created the wobble, I then adhered it my card and then added Hope and her accessory to the wobble!!
And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for stopping by!!
Hello all! Today I am so excited to be participating in Pinkfresh Studio’s August Releaseblog hop and giveaway!! I have a bunch of cards, as well as a video to share so let’s dive right in!!
My first up is a group of cards features the Lovely Blossoms Stamp and die set as well as the beautiful No One Compares to You Stamp Set, which was hand-lettered by my mega talented friend, Caly!
I first stamped a sentiment from the No One Compares to You Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down and then used a ruler and fine tip sharpie to add a boarder.
Next, I used the trimmed sentiment as a guide by tracing around onto scrap cardstock to create a slightly smaller rectangle, which I then cut out. This smaller rectangle will eventually hide behind the sentiment but also be base to adhere the florals to.
I then created a jig with all the dies from the Lovely Blossoms Die set from an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then saved the negative to become the jig and all the die cuts. Next, I die cut another set of florals will the Lovely Blossom Dies so I had two sets of all the leaves and flowers.
I then popped my jig into my MISTI and positioned the first layer of stamps. I then stamped all the die cuts with the first layer of stamps in a variety of inks.
Passionate Pink Gina K. + Seedless Preserves Distress Ink
After I had stamped the first layer I then removed the stamps and positioned the second layer of stamps inside the jig. However I didn’t use the MISTI for all the images, for some of them it made more sense to stamp the second layer by hand.
Once I had all the images stamped, I used a tape runner to add adhesive to the edges of my smaller rectangle and then arranged my florals. When I had all my florals stuck down I added foam tape to the backside of the floral frame and the sentiment.
Next, I adhered a panel, slightly smaller than an A2 panel, of colored cardstock onto an A2 top-folding card base. I then removed the backing on the foam tape and adhered my frame and sentiment.
Next up is the stunning Flower Garden Stamp Set.
For this card I first stamped the image in Versamark ink onto an A2 panel of Canson watercolor paper. I then heat embossed the impression in white embossing powder. Next, watercolor the image with Daniel Smith watercolors (Raw Sienna Light, Quinacridone Deep Gold, Quinacridone Red, Aussie Red Gold, Raw Sienna Light, Quinacridone Coral, Lavender, Wisteria, Imperial Purple, Serpentine Genuine, Prussian Green, & Sap Green Deep).
Once I had finish watercoloring the image, I trimmed it down about 1/8″ on all the sides. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Flower Garden Set in Versamark on to vellum and then gold heat embossed it. Once it was heat set, I trimmed it down to a strip, folded the edge and adhered the edge to the backside of the watercolor panel. I finished the card by adhering the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base made from 110lb cream cardstock.
Next up is the beautiful Floral Vase Stamp Set and matching die.
I first stamped the flowers in Antique Linen distress ink onto Bristol paper. I then watercolored the flowers in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens (312, 126, 345, 991, 553, 243, 856, 685, 946). Once I had finished coloring the flowers, I die cut them with the matching die and trimmed off the portion for the stems. I then created the vase by stamping the first layer in Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, the second layer in Broken Glass Distress Ink, and the 3rd layer in Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
I then stamped the stems inside the vase with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. I then die cut the vase out and then adhered the flowers on top with foam tape. Next, I stamped part of my sentiment onto my vase using my MISTI in Versafine Onyx Black. I then popped my card base into my MISTI and stamped it again onto the card front. I then stamped the second part of my sentiment onto white cardstock and then die cut it out with the matching die. I finished the card by adhering the flowers and “sending” to the card front with foam tape.
Next up is the sweet Falling For You Stamp Set and matching die.
First, I die cut the mountains from an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then stamped and white heat embossed the mountains onto the die cut. Next, I stamped and white heat embossed the waterfall, trees, clouds and sun onto white cardstock. I then ink blended Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide and Pine Needles Distress Ink over the trees and the lower portion of the mountain panel. For the upper portion of the mountain panel, I ink blended Tea Dye Distress Oxide and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. For the waterfall and background, I ink blended Salty Ocean Distress Oxide and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink. And lastly, I used Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide for the Sun and Tumbled Glass Distess Oxide for the clouds.
Once I had finished all my ink blending I die cut the images out with the matching dies except for the waterfall which I cut by hand. I then diecut a stitched border to the background panel and the mountain panel and then adhered the background panel onto and A2 top-folding card base. Next, I added foam tape to the mountain panel and adhered it to the card front as well. I then glued the rest of the die cuts and waterfall. I then stamped a sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black onto dark gray cardstock, trimmed it, and added it the card front with foam tape.
Next up is Delicate Wreath Stamp Set and the Beautiful word die.
I decided to do some more no-line watercoloring with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I first, stamped the image in Antique Linen Distress Ink onto a panel of Bristol paper slightly smaller than A2 panel. I then watercolored the image in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens (126, 158, 346).
Once I finished coloring in the wreath, I then die cut the Beautiful word die 4 times from black cardstock and glued the diecuts together. Next, I stamped “Hello” onto the Bristol panel in Versafine Onyx Black. I then finished the card by adhering the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base, then adhering “beautiful”, and lastly clear sequins with Nuvo Crystal Drops, Morning Dew.
My next card features the Kelly Alpha Dies.
I ink blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, and Fade Jeans Distress Oxides onto an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then added water spots and then gold splatters with Gansai Tambi watercolor. Next, I finished the panel by diecuting it with an die from an A2 nesting die set.
I then moved onto my sentiment and die cut “LOVE” using the Kelly Alpha Upper Case dies from white and gold cardstock. I then glued the letters together but slightly off-set to create a dimensional look. Next I stamped and gold heat embossed “sending” from the Floral Vase Set on white cardstock, and then cut it out with the matching die. I finished the card by gluing the outer portion of the backgrounds onto an A2 top-folding card base
And last is the a card featuring the Modern Blooms Die.
For this card, I first die cut a panel slightly smaller than A2 with the Modern Blooms Die. However, I made sure the die did not completely cut through the cardstock by removing a paper shim from my Cuttlebug. I then copic colored the flowers and leaves in (R20, R22, R05, BG10, BG34, V04, V06, YG03, YG63). Next, I die cut the Modern Blooms Die two more times out of white cardstock and glued the two layers together. I then adhered the dimensional modern blooms panel onto of the copic colored one and then adhered the panel onto an A2 top-folding cardbase.
Next, I diecut “hi” with the Kelly Alpha Lower Case dies out of white cardstock and white craft foam. I then copic colored the cardstock letters and then adhered them to the craft foam. Next, I cut a vellum square and adhered it and the letters onto the card front. Lastly, I finished the card with a sentiment from the Delicate Wreath Stamp Set stamped in Wilted Violet Distress Oxide.
Phew!!! 🙂 And that’s it!! Thank you so much for stopping by!!
