2 Masculine Birthday Cards

 Hi friends. Alanna back with you today and I am excited to share these cards with you. I once again have a pair of quick and easy birthday cards that would be perfect for the men in your life. But of course, they would also work just as perfectly for anyone you wanted to send a birthday card to.

I started by blending on some brown ink over top of the Five Wonky Strips stencil from Darkroom Door. I just love this stencil and how it adds so much interest to the background. Darkroom Door has a number of stencils with this similar feel with different shapes, etc. and I've linked these here if you want to check them out.

After my ink blending was done, I added on some gold splatter. I then stamped my sentiments from the Birthday Wishes set from Visible Image with Pine Cone Versafine Claire ink. 

I then trimmed down my panels and added them to some dark brown A2 notecards and that completes these quick and easy cards.

I hope you've been inspired today. Crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Studio Light Rustic Nature Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I have a rustic card I made using the Studio Light Nature's Dream. I stamped this large stamp on some pattern paper with Versafine Clair Twilight Ink and clear embossed it.

I then used some Lavinia Golden Temple Mystical Mist to add some shimmer and color. I then added some shading along the edge using the Lavinia Truffle Ink. I finished my card with the Studio Light Sentiment and Wishes set. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Quick and Simple Cards with Studio Light

  Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week is all about Studio Light products. It's a Dutch company owned by Marlene. She has terrific products at very reasonable prices. Go and check them out, if you are not familiar with it.

I masked off a strip and sponged with distress inks and then put a stencil over my strip and added some pattern to this background. I then stamped the Berry Branch stamps on it. Added a sticker sentiment.

I had so much fun that I decided to make a second card with more masculine colors. Its quite quick to do anyhow.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used: 

Lines and Dots Grunge stencil, Berry Branch

Studio Light - Bold&Bright, Blender Brushes

Masking tape

Love - Grunge

"Hello Crafties", Mary Key here and "Happy Valentine's Day!" I will be featuring Studio Light stamps. The stamp I am using I don't see it in Topflight Stamps website, but there are other beautiful grunge stamps. 

This one looks like Cherry Blossoms and I have made a mini-slim line card and stamped with Tsukineko - Versafine Onyx Black small ink pad onto my already cut mini-slim line white cardstock. These Grunge Collections are nice to just stamp and color. I have colored the image with colored pencils and also some black Stickles, then finished my card onto black cardstock.

I also like to add a partial image onto white cardstock for the inside like a watermark and used a light color of ink.

Thank you for stopping by and keep creating.

Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week my teammates and I are focusing on Studio Light's wonderful products. When I saw the Cat Gentleman Clear Stamp, my inner vintage-Steampunk-grunge loving crazy cat lady heart knew I had to have it. 

Here it is!

This card was created in two parts — the image panel and the background panel. 

Stamp the Cat Gentleman twice with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink–– once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Color the Cat Gentleman and the background with Copic markers. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the Cat Gentleman and place it over its counterpart as a mask. Pounce black, silver, and gold/black ink over the masked image to add that important grunge factor. Use a slimline die to cut the image panel and set it aside. 

To create the background, cut a piece of Bristol Paper to 4.25" wide. Smoosh Della Blue Elements Ink onto a piece of acetate, use a Fine Spray Mister to mist with water, then press the inky acetate onto the Bristol Paper to apply the ink.Heat set the background. Clean the acetate.

Repeat the smooshing onto acetate with Mermaid, then Sundance, and then Confetti Elements Inks until you're happy with the background. Thoroughly heat set the background panel.

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the Vintage Clocks Clear Stamp facedown along the top left side of the image panel. Heat set the panel.

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the paw print stamps from the Meow Small Clear Stamp Set onto the empty areas of the background panel. Heat set.

Adhere the background panel to the front of a black slimline card. Edge the card with the goldish black ink.

Using a stamping platform,  stamp "Meow" from the Meow Small Clear Stamp Set with gold black ink onto a small piece of Bristol Paper. Heat set with clear detail embossing powder. Return the sentiment piece to the stamping platform, re-ink the stamp with gold black ink, and heat emboss with clear detail embossing powder again.

Use a flag die to cut the sentiment. Edge the sentiment die-cut with gold black ink, Adhere the sentiment to finish the card.

Creating a Messy Background

Hi friends. Alanna on the blog with you today and I have a fun card today that was super easy to create. And if you can believe it, part of the background was made with stencils that are supposed to be mountains.

This week, our focus is on products from Studio Light. I love this fun brand and had a lot of fun creating this card.

To get started, I took the Scenery Borders Mountains stencil and blended it multiple times with both a soft blue and soft pink inks. I overlapped some of my areas. I then took the Twinkle Twinkle Stars set and stamped just a portion of it a few times, focusing my stamping on the top left and bottom right portions of my card panel. 

I then trimmed this panel down and then added my sentiments which are from the Basic Wishes set. I finished off the card by popping this panel up with foam tape and adding it to a white A2 notecard as well as adding in some gems from my stash.

AALL & Create Gel Press Tag

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I have a fun tag I made using my gel press along with the AALL & Create Rainbow Lane stencil along with the Die Set Hexalove. 

I first applied the PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Paint in Sunshine to my gel press and pulled the print. I then applied  the Fresco Paint in Flamingo, Bermuda, and Parakeet and placed the stencil down and pulled the print.

I added a little shading with the Lavinia Elements Ink in Dark Denim with the Stencil Brush. I used the Die Set Hexalove with black card stock and also used a label and heart included in the set. I finished my tag with a handwritten home using the Spectrum Noir gold pen.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
