Create an OUT OF THIS WORLD Thank You Card with our Celestial Wishes Card Kit!
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person to our blog with some fresh and fun inspiration showcasing our May 2024 Card Kit, Celestial Wishes! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hello! I’ve got a colorful card to share using ink-smooshing! It’s been a while and I had a lot of fun creating this celestial-themed background! My card uses products from the May 2024 Card Kit. The Celestial Wishes set has lots of whimsy images for a many designs!
I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock and embossed the sun rays at the center of my panel and stars all around the sun rays. This will resist the ink-smooshing that I do next. If you haven’t ink-smooshed before, I encourage you to try it! Watch the video for this project and see how easy it is!

I gathered the ink colors I wanted to use (Peony, Terracotta, Zest, Ocean, Morning, Cadette, Iris) and worked with one color at a time. I tapped some color onto my glass board and spritzed it with some water to water it down. Then using a piece of cellophane from stamp/die packaging, I picked up the ink and transferred it to my embossed panel. Between layers if it was too wet, I dried it with my heat tool. Once I was happy with one color, I would move onto the next until I got through the rainbow of colors I chose.
Using a Circle Mask, I ink-blended the purple ink all around the mask to create the shape of a moon over the embossed rays. I added a bigger ink-blended area at the bottom of the mask than the top.
I stamped the Celestial Wishes images using the inks I used on my background. To add dimension and multiple colors to the images, I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Blending Tools and Sponge Applicators to apply the ink. These tools are super handy and are a part of the May 2024 Card Kit! After die-cutting with the Celestial Wishes Dies, I attached them with 3D foam squares to give them dimension. I finished by attaching an embossed sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly

Channel Your Inner Spring Chicken with Shari Carroll and Art Impressions Funny Friday!
I find humor in the simplest of ways. This Spring Chicken set by Art Impressions caught my eye with its snarky ladybird and the possibility of really making a chicken spring! With some not-so-fancy water coloring and an action wobbler, this card quickly came to life.
To see how this card came together, check out my video below. Enjoy!!!
