Shaped Easter Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This cute egg shaped card features the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome Die Set. This little gnome is very easy to put together and the can be used for many occasions. Let’s put this card together…

For this card, I die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, folded in half using the Sizzix Framelits Die Set 10PK – Egg (discontinued) to create the card base. to accomplish this I simply left one side of the die off the edge of the folded card base before die cutting. This card base measures 3-3/4 x 5-1/4″ I also cut a smaller egg shape for the front panel.

I colored the sky with Tim Holtz Uncharted Mariner and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Then die cut the grass from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Green Apple Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides and also used the Egg framelits to shape it.

I die cut the gnome’s hat, hands and bunny ear insides from Echo Park 12 x 12 I Love Easter Cardstock Pack (discontinued I believe) using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome Die Set. The bunny ears, nose, face and beard were die cut from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored with Copic Markers. I used E000 for the nose, E000, E00, R20 & 0 for the face; and C0 & 0 for the ears. His shoes, hat band and all the eggs were die cut from Doodlebug 6 x 6 Dot Grid Daisy Stripe Pack (discontinued I think).

I added a sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips REVERSE EASTER WISHES. I finished off the card by adding some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Turning Simon Says Stamp Suzy’s Watercolor Prints Into Scene Cards

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I made these two cute Easter cards using the Simon Says Stamp Suzy’s Watercolor Prints. The prints I used are from an older set but I will link to the newer one that was released this year. I created cute scene cards by using them in a non traditional way.I love to just sit and watercolor these prints! It’s very relaxing and fun to me. If watercolor isn’t your thing you can probably use color pencils to color the images.

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base.

I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set (I love this set!) to color the images. Then cut all the background white areas out and used one of the Egg framelits from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 10PK – Egg (discontinued) to cut out the watercolor print, making sure to not cut his ears. I die cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6 Paper with the same framelit for the background.

I die cut grass from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100lb Green Apple Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides. I die cut two pieces of varying heights but 4-1/4″ in width and popped up the front one with 3M Foam Tape.

For the sentiment I used the Simon Says Stamp EASTER WISHES Sentiment Strips.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Dimensions

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Echo Park I Love Easter 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (discontinued) to 4 x 5-1/4″. I die cut a window from the panel using the Egg framelits from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 10PK – Egg (discontinued). I also used 2 of them to cut out a frame from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″.

Once again, I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set to color the images. I then placed the panel behind the window panel.

I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter onto the panel with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink.

I finished off the card by adding some highlights with a Uni-ball Signo White Broad Point Gel Pen and some Tonic IVORY SEASHELL Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside of the card, I cut two strips of the pattern paper from Echo Park I Love Easter 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (discontinued), measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″.

Dimensions

  • Card Base = 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″
  • Top Panel = 4 x 5-1/4″ Echo Park I Love Easter 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (discontinued)
  • Inside Strips = 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ Echo Park I Love Easter 12 x 12 Pattern Paper (discontinued)

Easter Window Scene Card featuring Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another way to use the Lawn Fawn Window Scene: Spring Stampset if you don’t have a window die. I combined it with the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Dies to create a cute dimensional window scene. Check out the Lawn Fawn website for even more ideas!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base, and another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I embossed this panel with the Darice Embossing Essentials Folder 1218-66 Basket Weave (discontinued). I colored the panel with Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks.

I stamped the window scene from Lawn Fawn Window Scene: Spring Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped some images from the Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter and Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter Add-On Stampsets. Then colored the images with Copic Markers. I used Y13 & Y17, R20, YR04 & YR09 for the chicks; C0, C1, R20 & 0 for the bunny; YR04, YR09, YG25 & YG67 for the carrots; Y17, RV55, BG000, YR04 & YR09, V22 & V28 & BG02 for the butterflies; YG25, YG67 & G28, E27 & E49 for the trees and grass; Y13 & Y17 for the sun; Y17 for the flower centers; RV000, RV52 & RV5, YR04 & YR09, Y13 & Y18, and BG000 & BG02 for the tiny eggs; RV000 & RV52 for the large egg.

I die cut the window from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Dies. I cut two pieces; the first piece I colored with Copics and the second I left white and cut off the flowers and leaves to create a border. I used 3M Foam Tape to pop up the window.

I added a sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Easter Wishes. I popped it up using 3M Foam Tape. I finished off the card by adding some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

On the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Easter Wishes and added a chick and flower.

3 Easy Watercolor Cards

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here are some easy watercolor cards anyone can make! While I am an artist I am not super comfortable doing freehand watercolor paintings. But these 3 cards were very easy to make. If you cannot draw either use a stencil, die or printable to trace a simple drawing. I used this technique for one of my cards. More on this later…

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece to Watercolor Paper to 3-3/4 x 5″. I also cut a piece of Doodlebug Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I did a quick sketch for the egg (I actually used an egg shaped framelit die to trace the outside). I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set (I love this set!) to color the egg. I kept the coloring simple – one color and white. You can be as elaborate with your painting as you like though. Once the egg and grass were colored and dry, I added some splatters with some Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi STARRY COLORS. Then I added some sketchy lines around the egg with a 0.5 Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner Pen.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Foil Transfer Cards Fancy Happy Easter Splendor with Therm O Web Gina K Designs GLIMMERING GOLD Fancy Foil Deco Foil for the sentiment and fussycut it out. And then also used a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp REVERSE EASTER WISHES Sentiment Strips.

On the inside of the card, I cut a strip of pattern a paper from Doodlebug Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″. And added another sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp REVERSE EASTER WISHES Sentiment Strips.

Dimensions

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Watercolor Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″.

While I do not have a picture of the sketch to show you, I just drew very basic shapes for the balloons. They don’t have to be perfect. If you feel like you cannot draw them, get an image from the internet etc and trace it or use stencils or dies. Again very simple painting here. This time I used one color plus a White Gold watercolor from the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi STARRY COLORS.

I added the balloon strings using my 0.5 Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner Pen.

I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Endless Birthday Wishes Stampset (retired) and Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink. I finished off the card by adding some highlights to the balloons with a Uni-ball Signo White Broad Point Gel Pen and some Tonic Ebony Black Nuvo Drops.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish (retired) with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.

Dimensions

For the third card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base, a piece to Watercolor Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″ and a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 X 8 Paper Stash Metallic Kraft Stock. to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

The sketch for this card was super simple. I drew 3 hearts and a stem. I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set again. And finished the background by adding some splatters with White and Gold Acrylic paint.

I die cut the sentiment word from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 X 8 Paper Stash Metallic Kraft Stock using the Simon Says Stamp Fancy Lucky Wafer Dies. And added a sentiment strip from the Simon Says Stamp Reverse Lucky Sentiment Strips.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of metallic paper cut to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Happy Happy Happy Add-on with Catherine Pooler Designs Lime Rickey Ink.

Easy Watercolor Backgrounds Using Distress Inks

kittieslovecrafting

Today’s topic is watercolor backgrounds. Whenever I want a quick and easy background for a card, I go with a watercolor background. You don’t need to know how to watercolor like a pro, you just need some good watercolor paper. The paper makes the difference in the results you get. I used Canson XL Series Watercolor Paper Pad (140 Pound, 9 x 12 Inch). The great thing is, that this technique can be achieved with dye inks, stains, sprays, or watercolors (high end or inexpensive). I used Distress Ink Stains for my backgrounds. I originally pulled out my Distress Ink Pads but then decided that my Distress Ink Stains haven’t been getting enough love so I decided to use those instead. These can be dabbed on or sprayed. These now are sold in spray bottles but if you’re like me and have the original bottles, Ranger sells a spray bottle lid. I used mine straight out of the bottle like watercolor though.

Watercolor Background Supplies

Ok, so let’s get started. First, I taped down my watercolor paper piece (4 1/4 x 5 1/2″) with some ScotchBlue Painters Tape to a hard surface. Protect your surface before you begin because this will be messy. With a clean brush, add some water to your surface, covering the whole area. Then dispense some of ink onto a clear block, craft mat, etc. (I used my glass mat) and then dab/pounce it your paper. If the surface is too dry, add some more water. You can add more ink to certain areas to get darker areas. Alternatively, you can add more water and blot certain areas to subtract color. Stick to one color if you are not comfortable mixing multiple colors together. Keep playing with adding color until you are satisfied.

Let your piece dry in between layers. This will yield a better result, in the end. You can let it air dry or use a heat tool (if you are not patient like me. :)) Once the piece was almost dry I added some splashes using the same ink color for each. I usually do this inside a box since I don’t want my desk and surrounding areas to stained. Let it dry completely before moving onto the next step. And if you want to stop here, you totally can; they look great as is. I wanted to enhance mine by adding another level of texture.

Watercolor Panels

I added texture to only two of the panels by embossing them. On the first panel (blue one), I stamped the Easter eggs from the Newton’s Nook Designs Newton’s Easter Basket Stamp (no longer available) with Versamark clear embossing ink and added Wow white embossing powder. On the third panel (yellow one), I used a the Tim Holtz MINI STENCIL SET 27 MST027 with Ranger Texture Paste Transparent Gloss to add texture. I used only portions of the stencil around the page. Then before it dried, I sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter. Any white glitter will do however. These are now ready to become cards!

Watercolor Panels With Embossing

I made Easter cards with these backgrounds. I used Newton’s Nook Designs Newton’s Easter Basket Stamp on all 3 cards for the images.

I used Simon Says Stamp Some Bunny for the sentiment on the first card and the Lawn Fawn Straight Flower Border Die Cut to build the scene. And finished it with Nuvo drops in different colors. The second card features the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Easter Script Die cut out of 4 layers of cardstock (3 black and one white), stacked up to create the sentiment. The third card showcases the Easter egg kitty by putting him in ovals diecut using Stampin’ Up! Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. I added a sentiment from Newton’s Nook Designs Newton’s Easter Basket Stamp. I created card bases from Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise (retired), Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant (retired), and Stampin’ Up! Crushed Curry 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, respectively. And finally, on the inside I added a piece of white 80lb cardstock so I can later write a message inside my cards.

Spring Cards 2

kittieslovecrafting

3 Cards using SSS Blooming Circle and Blooming Wave Wafer Dies

Hi friends. Continuing on with some Spring inspired cards, I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Circle Wafer Dies and Simon Says Stamp Blooming Wave Wafer Die to create 3 different cards. It was a little time-consuming to inlay all the flowers and leaves but the results are well worth it

This Easter card combines the Simon Says Stamp Some Bunny stamps and Newton’s Nook Designs Newton’s Easter Basket stamps with the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Circle Wafer Dies. I added patterned paper from both the Doodlebug 6 x 6 Double-sided Paper Pad-Easter Express (discontinued), and Queen & Co Flirty Florals 6 x 6 Mat Stack. Images were colored with Copic markers and fussycut. I inlaid the flowers after diecutting several pieces of scrap rainbow color cardstock. Finished it off by adding some Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Gloss.

Card 2 turned into a Mother’s Day Card. When I started working on these cards I had no idea what the theme would be so I didn’t pick sentiments. But after adding the daisy pattern paper (from Doodlebug 6 x 6 Double-sided Paper Pad-Easter Express (discontinued)), I decided to make into a Mother’s Day card. I used the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Wave Wafer, to create a border then inlaid the flowers after diecutting several pieces of scrap yellow and green cardstock. I used Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Sentiments and the Lawn Cuts Happy Happy Happy to creqte this dimensional sentiment. Finished it off by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell.

And for this 3rd card, I wanted to make it look like rings so I diecut the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Circle Wafer Dies and diecut 3 flower circles, centering one of them. Once again I ran the die through with several color cardstock in rainbow colors. I added a sentiment to the center wreath using Catherine Pooler Designs Good Stuff Inside.Finished it off by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard Glitter Drops.
