Project #1 — You Tickle Me Pink
Supplies:
Gemini Jr Die Cutting Machine ($139.99 at Scrapbook dot com)
Steps to Creating this Card
First, I stamped and die cut the color layering flamingos with Cotton Candy, Pale Tomato and Crimson Inks.
Then, I stacked a few more flamingo die cuts underneath with Precision Glue
Next, I stamped down the water layers with Mint Julep ink (Use the Arctic Core Ink Cube in the kit) and Paradise Core Ink.
After that, I stamped some blue clouds in the sky with Dusty Blue Core Ink and added a gradient of the same ink down the top of the card front with a blending brush.
Then, I adhered the flamingos to the front with Precision Glue and stamped the sentiment near the bottom with Intens-ified Black Ink.
Watch the video to see how the fun I had with this kit!
Steps for Creating this Card
First, I stamped out the monstera image with Intense Black Ink and colored it in with Copic Markers.
Then, I stamped it again with Clear Watermark & Embossing Ink and melted some Clear Embossing Powder of the top of it with a heat tool.
Next, I stamped out the monstera image all over the front of a Dove White note card with Antique Ivory Core Ink for a background.
After that, I die cut a piece of cardstock and applied the Antique Ivory Ink direct to paper with the pad to create backing for the monstera die cut.
Then, I die cut the monstera out.
Next, created a sentiment strip with the Message Strips Stamp N Cut XL with Pitch Black cardstock and White Embossing Powder.
Finally, I popped it all up on the front of the card with foam tape and added some Champagne Sequins for shine.
