Hi everyone!! Happy Saturday. I hope you’re finding a little bit of time for some crafting today!

I’ve just discovered a very unique stamp and layering die set that I think you’ll like. This Sunshine stamp comes from Stamplistic. It has two different dies that coordinates with it. One is a single detail die that cuts out areas within the image. The other is a set of 9 layering dies that cuts pieces that can be stacked back together.

I chose to use the Sunshine stamp with the layering dies, where I’ve silver embossed the stamp image 3 times onto watercolor cardstock. I cut out my layers to where I had an outside, center and then the detail of the sun.

To color my pieces, I used Tim Holtz Oxide inks in Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Iced Spruce, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. After applying the ink, I spritzed with a bit of water to get an aged spotty look.

I filmed a video of how I created this card which you can view below or on our YouTube Channel HERE!

Hello, all! Kristina here with some more card kit inspiration! The September 2017 Card Kit is packed with colorful elements for your cards. I chose to take inspiration from the Doodlebug patterned papers in the kit and use inks and markers.

The small candle image in the Best Ever stamp set in the kit seems to small to make up a large portion of a card. However, by stamping the candle repeatedly using different colors of ink, you get a bold colorful border. I used the following colors of Simon Says Stamp ink: Doll Pink, Orange Peel, Sunshine, Green Apple, High Dive, and Hydrangea. NOTE: I misspoke in the video. The green ink color is in fact Green Apple.

For the main focal point of the card, I stamped the striped heart in Intense Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. I also matched Copic marker colors to the patterned papers from the kit, even though I wasn’t using them…

I hope you enjoy today’s video! Thanks for stopping by! Check out the September 2017 Card Kit or subscribe here.
