Easy Watercolor Backgrounds 5 Ways

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. It’s time to create some Christmas cards! It’s never too early to start. I decided to try making some very easy watercolored cards using older products I already have. These cards can easily be mass-produced which was my objective. I used all watercolor backgrounds but stepped up a few with embossing folders. It takes very little effort but produces great results!!!

I started these cards by choosing some inks for the backgrounds. I used Tim Holtz Kitsch Flamingo, Festive Berries, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks. I also cut 5 pieces of Strathmore 300 Series Smooth Bristol Paper to 4-3/4 x 5-1/4″. I added splatters to all the panels with the same ink and then on the green panel I also used Gold Acrylic Paint for splatter and the Silver Paint for the Mermaid Lagoon panel.

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 die cut the background with the Catherine Pooler Designs Scallops & Dots Dies.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Nice List stamp set (discontinued) onto the card with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink. And a sentiment onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the same black ink.

I finished it off by adding Queen and Co Petite Posies in Purple.

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 4-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ to create a card base. I cut a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC KRAFT STOCK Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″. I stamped snowflakes from Catherine Pooler Designs Joyful Flakes (unavailable) with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink, and Versamark Ink and Ranger Silver Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with the silver embossing powder as well. I finished the card by adding some flat silver sequins from my stash.

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. I stamped hearts onto the background from Catherine Pooler Designs Caroling Sentiments with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink. Then stamped the tree sentiment from the same set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Rockin’ Red Ink and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I finished it off by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops in Metallic Bright Gold.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Wrapped and Ready Stamp Set with Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink.

Dimensions

For the fourth card, I cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. I ran the watercolored panel through my die cut machine using the Darice Wired Fence Embossing Folder (unavailable).

I stamped the trees from Stampin’ Up! Festival of Trees Stampset (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Pucker Up, Rockin’ Red, and Martini Inks. And used the coordinating punch to cut them out. I popped them up with 3M Foam Tape.

I stamped a sentiment from the same set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink. Then cut into strips.

I finished the card by adding some Fresh Snowfall Nuvo Glitter Accents.

On the inside of the card, I added another tree stamped with Catherine Pooler Designs Melon Ice Ink.

Dimensions

For the last card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ to create a card base. I ran the watercolored panel through my die cut machine using the Embossalicious Christmas Merriment Embossing Folder (unavailable).

I stamped the kitty from Newton’s Nook Curoius Christmas (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color the images. I used R20, N0, N2, YG06 & YG17 for the cat; C1 & 0, R14, R27 and R29 for the hat; C1, B0000 and 0 for the milk and cup; E34 and E37 for the cookie; and C3, C5, YG06, YG17, R14, R29, B16, B12, Y02 and Y18. I fussycut the image and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and trimmed it to 5/16 x 1-3/4″.

I finished the card by adding some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Key Lime.

On the inside of the card, I added another kitty image.

Halloween Easel Card featuring Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. It’s time to start making Halloween cards. Never too early in my opinion! Today I’ve made an easel card using the House Builder Card Base Dies from Honey Bee Stamps!!! These dies are one of my most used ideas. I’ve made lots of cards with these dies and I continue to be inspired to make more… Unfortunately these dies are discontinued but if you have them I encourage you to take them out and use them!

For the first card, I started by cutting a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 10 x 7″ and scoring at 5″ to create the card base. I also scored one side in half to create the easel card. I cut two pieces of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 2.25″ x 6-3/4″. Then I used Distress Oxides to create a night sky. I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean, Villanous Poison, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Then sprayed some water to let it react and get some cool variations.

I diecut the house and the chimney from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using the House Builder Card Dies (discontinued), and the roof from Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps Haunted House Add-on (discontinued). I cut the fence, wood and door gable from the same cardstock as well, the ghosts from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, tombstones from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Fog Gray Cardstock, the bats were cut from both Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock as well as Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 paper (discontinued).

The shutters and pumpkins were cut from the same paper as well. I used ink to give all the images a distress look. I used Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink for the black cardstock, Catherine Pooler Designs Pebbles Ink for the grays, and Catherine Pooler Designs Queen For a Day Ink for the purple items. For the windows, I cut pieces of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and then used Tim Holtz Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides Ink to make them glow. I adhered the house only to the bottom half of the front panel. This way when you fold it the house pops up.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest, 80lb Solar White to 4-3/4 x 6-3/4″. Then stamped the web from Simply Made Crafts Haunting Sentiments Stamp & Die Set with Catherine Pooler Designs Queen For a Day Ink. then stamped a sentiment with Catherine Pooler Designs Ginger Ink onto Neenah Classic Crest, 80lb Solar White, die cut with the coordinating dies and rounded the corners. I cut two pieces of Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 paper (discontinued) and stacked them up to create the “stopper” for the card when folded. I also added some more ghosts etc.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another card featuring these adorable penguins from the Lawn Fawn HERE WE GO A-WADDLING stamps. I paired it with an old die set from Catherine Pooler Designs. It was featured in the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval several years ago!

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 x 5-1/4″ for the background. I used the Tim Holtz Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. Then used a snowflake embossing folder (Stampin’ Up! Winter Snow) to give it some dimension. Then I lightly ran a white pigment ink pad (Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink) over the raised areas; This enhanced the snowflakes a bit more. (TIP: Make sure to let this dry for several hours before touching the panel or use a heat tool to set it). Lastly, I added some splatters using White Acrylic paint.

Next I die cut the the snowy hills from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I also added some Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter Drops to the snowy hills. I used 3M Foam Tape to adhere the front hillside.

Winter Village Christmas Scene Card featuring a Stenciled Pattern Paper Background

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. For this cute holiday card, I uses a technique I had forgotten about but recently reminded of while watching a Youtube video. The technique is stenciling on pattern paper. It’s an easy way to add depth and interest to a background without adding extra bulk. This card features the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop die and the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps.

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 a piece of Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to ~4 x 5-1/4″ for the background. I used the Tim Holtz Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans Distress Ink along with the Honey Bee Stamps Birch A2 Cover Plate to give some dimension to the background.

Next I die cut the forest from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop, the snowy hills from more Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I also added some Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter Drops to the snowy hills. I used 3M Foam Tape to adhere the forest panel as well as some behind the snowy hills for more dimension.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13 & Y18 for the lantern, windows and star; R81, R83, & R85, YG25, YG17 & YG67, C0, C1, C3 & C5 for the houses; YG25, YG17 & YG67 and E25 & E29 for the trees; BG000 and 0 for the snow.

I decided to do a radical thing on this card and have NO sentiment on the outside. What?!? Unheard of, right? LOL. Sometimes it’s ok to leave the outside of your card with just a pretty scenes. Let the recipient be surprised when they open the card.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps with Catherine Pooler Rose Petals Ink.
