Card #1 — Lei Back — List of Supplies for Card #1
Shadow Inks: Grape Juice & Cornflower
Steps for Creating this Card
To create this card, I began by masking off a section of a notecard with Post-It Tape. This is one of my absolute favorite crafting supplies.
Next, I ink blended Grape Juice and Cornflower ink from Hero Arts in a gradient from left to right in the masked off area.
TIP: When you get your kit — die cut a ton of the frame cuts included, arrange the stamps in a stamping platform and create several of each image, so you will have them on hand as you play!
I took some of the images I had pre-stamped and die cut and I colored them in with coordinating colors of Copic markers.
Then, I arranged them to the left of the notecard and stamped the sentiment under the ink blended belly band with Intense Black Ink.
To finish off the card, I adhered some rhinestone embellishments to the front with Precision Glue.
Card #2 — Aloha Hula Ladies — List of Supplies
Shadow Inks: Grape Juice & Cornflower
Steps for Creating this Card
I filmed the creation of this card! You can watch the video to see how I did it!
Card #3 — Wave Aloha — List of Supplies
Steps for Creating the Wave Aloha Card
To begin, I ink blended a panel of Dove White Cardstock with Creamsicle, Lemon Drop, and Blue Raspberry Reactive Inks, then die cut it with a Rectangle Woodgrain Infinity Die.
Next, I created a smaller panel with the same infinity die out of plain white cardstock.
I added some waves from the main kit using white embossing powder, spacing them out closer together at the top to give the appearance of distance.
Then, I added some Blue Raspberry Ink over the top of the waves and adhered the center panel to the front of a notecard.
Next, I popped up the frame over the waves panel with foam tape.
Then, I colored in some more of my main kit luau images with Copic markers and adhered them to the front of the card with Precision Glue and more foam tape.
To finish off the card, I stamped Aloha with Intense Black Ink and added some bling to the front.
This card uses only stamps and dies from the main kit, except for the woodgrain infinity frame.
