Mermaid Inches

 

Good morning, afternoon or evening depending where you are in the world.  Today I am sharing a card I made using the MERMAID INCHES.  This set is AMAZING..It has lots of Mermaids, Shells and Seahorses everything you need.  

My first step in making this card was to die cut the circle outline.  Then using the negative I inked the background with Distress Inks.  The cut out I left White.  I then stamped the images you see onto white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I colored all of my images with Prisma Pencils.  Some of the images you see like the Pirate Ship and the Stones come from the set called UNDERWATER SCENE.  I hope you enjoyed the scene.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Artful Angel June Mystery Craft Along - starring Savannah in S'More Wishes

 Hello angels!  DT Kim here taking over the blog today to share the card that I created for the June Mystery Craft Along.  If you weren’t able to make it to the actual event, it is NOT too late!  The materials and instructions are posted in the Artful Angel Facebook Group so that you can still play along!  

DT Linh did an amazing job hosting this month’s Mystery Craft Along!  Did you notice that the card also follows the June sketch?  If you participated, that means you can enter it in the June Sketch Challenge also!  

For my card, I colored up the adorable Savannah image from S’more Wishes with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut her out and set her aside.   I started by choosing my patterned paper and then selected the colors of my cardstock from there.  I ended up with a color palette that I would probably never have selected; however, I love it.  I will list all my supplies at the end of the post (All items with a link are available in the Artful Angel Shop).

Savannah – W09, W07, W05, W03, W01, W0

Roam Far

 Roam Far

Good morning to all of my fellow paper crafters abroad.  This is Kerri, today I am sharing a card I made using a few of the images along with a sentiment from one of the New Release Sets.  The set I am using for my card is called ROAM FAR.

This is Savannah going for a hike I just love this little Sloth.  The background of my card was done using Distress Oxide Inks, I then did some die cutting and inking.  For the image I stamped it first onto white card stock with Archival Ink along with the sign and sentiment all of these are included in the set.  My coloring medium was my handy dandy Prisma Pencils.  As you can see this is the end result, a clean and simple card.  Roam Far has multiple images along with sentiments..In my books a must have..I so love the little worm as well I named him Henry.  Thanks for stopping by HUGS

Double Side-Step Fold Card

 

I love this fold!  It is easy, fun, and striking! It is also easy to modify (but that will be another day and another post.)  This video tutorial, hopefully, will get you all excited to try this fold! Join us at the Artful Angel FB group and upload your cards with this fold. I used Artful Angels Roam Far set featuring Savannah. I decided to have a bit of extra fun when coloring Savannah.  I put her on a pink bikini and some big sunnies! Remember to use code: DALISACE for a 10% off your order.

Hmmm... I think I am missing something?

 Have you ever looked at your card and thought to yourself... "Hmm... I think it's missing something!" If you have, then let's deal with it! 

I like these two cards, I actually think they are pretty cute!  The cherry on top is that they follow the Artful Angel's FB Sketch Challenge! Even though I added the sparkly dots, I felt it still needed something! I usually add sparkly dots, rhinstones, bling and re-access! In this case, I was still left with that feeling. Mind you, the cards were finished and everything was glued down, so I had to enhance without deconstructing! Easier said than done, right? 

Let me first show you the stamp set I used for one of the cards.  This set is called MINI-REMIX WILD by the Greeting Farm. (Remember using my link you can get a 10% OFF discount.) She is colored with alcohol markers.

Here are pictures of the before and after for both of the cards. For the 70's look card was a bit harder to figure out what to add, because I didn't want to hide that cool burlap too much.  Yes, that is real burlap with a paper backing for easy gluing! I decided to add some hearts that were ink blended with some similar colors to the pattern paper. It's a very minimal addition, but a perfect finishing touch to ground the sentiment.

On the Jungle card, I decided to keep playing out of the theme and add some greenery to the card.  I ink blended the leaves and they have such a big impact on the finished card.

Remember, do not give up on your cards, just add a few details to follow the theme and play with it!  Good luck!

Artful Angel June Sketch Challenge

Hello angels!  DT Kim here with you today.  Can you believe that it is June already?  I can't!  Today, I am so excited to share this fun card that I created to play along with the June Sketch Challenge over in the Artful Angel Takes Flight Facebook Group!   This month, the amazing DT Dalis is hosting the challenge.   

I was so excited to play along with this and I knew that the C.C. Designs Birthday Critters Stamp Set (available in the Artful Angel Shop) would be PERFECT!  These happy little critters were so much fun to color up with my Copic markers (colors listed below).  Once I finished coloring, I cut him out and set the image aside. 

Measurements;

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" base of Neenah Solar White card stock, scored at 4 1/4"

5" x 3 3/4", 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 1" x 3 1/2" panels of Granny Apple Green card stock

 4" x 3 1/2" panel of printed paper

5 1/2" x 1 1/2" strip of Melon Mambo card stock

3" x 3" piece of white card stock

This is the June Sketch, created by @pagemaps.

I heat embossed my sentiment and die-cut the banner using the Kindred Stamps Card Basics Dies.  I cut a scalloped circle and a stitched circle using my trusty Circle Dies from C.C. Designs (also available in the Artful Angel Shop).

I wrapped the hot pink strip in metallic thread and began to assemble my card.  Once I had all of my layers adhered, I added my colored image and a bow to the front.  I just love how bright and cheerful this card is!

Dog - E18, E15, E13

Hat and Ribbon - RV09, RV06, RV04
