Art Journaling: Layers of White
Welcome, everyone!!! It’s Shari here with another Art Journal page for you!
I was very inspired by the colors of this paper to do some layering with white stamping, a die-cut, and tissue paper. If you know me, it’s not often that I use pink, but this paper is GORGEOUS!
To start out I chose a sheet that had a white leaf print and die cut it 5.5″ x5.5″ using the Simon Says Stamp Nested Circle dies. Next, I white embossed the So Beautiful cling stamp on top. I blended in a few shades of Distress Ink to tone down the leaves and help the embossed flowers to pop out.
I did a little layering with white tissue paper to fade out the stamping and added a die-cut of the Leafy Branch (including the centers) from pattern paper. I added a second leafy branch (just the outline) cut from white cardstock. To finish I white embossed “You Are So Beautiful” onto a strip of vellum and used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to hold it in place.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out some pattern papers and create some layers in white. Enjoy!!

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: August 2020 Card Kit Inspiration!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today sharing an interactive card I’ve created with our August 2020 Card Kit, Picnic Parade!
This fun card design doesn’t require any special tools or products! Simply cut any die from the pattern paper in the kit and tie the two together with a bit of string or twine. I’ll show you exactly how I did this in the video below.
The die cut I used was our Simon exclusive Watermelon die (sold separately from the kit). The Bar-B-Cute papers included in the Picnic Parade kit worked perfectly for “coloring” the die cut. I stamped a greeting from the Hello Sunshine stamp set (also included in the kit) inside the interactive, pivoting watermelon.
Be sure to watch the video to see exactly how I made this cute, pivot reveal card!

Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Cut Out Leaves
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Please welcome special guest Cheiron Brandon with this colorful and gorgeous project showcasing the beauty of alcohol inks! Read on and enjoy!
I had been watching the Tim Holtz demos over the past few months and have tons of different colorful panels that I created over the past few months, especially with Alcohol Inks.
I wanted to create a card to show off one of those panels today using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Cut Out Leaves dies. This kind of die with big open lines really lets the colors shine through.
To create this card, I started by making an Alcohol Ink Panel by dripping Alcohol Inks in Dandelion, Gumball and Turquoise onto Yupo Paper until I got the color combinations I wanted and let the panel dry.
I cut a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock with a rectangle die, then arranged the leaf dies on the panel in a pattern and cut out the leaves. I took the Alcohol Ink panel and cut it from the same size rectangle. I adhered the Alcohol Ink panel behind the cut out leaves panel with Distress Collage Medium.
I cut the word hello from a piece of colored Kraftstock and backed it with a piece of white cardstock. I adhered the Alcohol Ink backed Leaf Panel to a card cut from Paper Bag Cardstock using foam tape, then adhered the word hello for a quick and simple card.
