Mahalo Summer Card by Samantha Mann

Mahalo!

Today we are sharing summer vibes with a gorgeous card by Samantha combining our Aloha Newton Stamp Set and Hibiscus Stencil Set.

Samantha created a gorgeous background using our Hibiscus Stencil Set. This stencil has two pieces that layer together, one for the flowers and one for the leaves. She started by using stencil with the flowers, inking the flowers in pink and coral distress inks. Without lifting up the stencil, she pressed a clear embossing pad onto the stencil over the same floral areas. She removed the stencil and embossed the flowers with clear embossing powder. What a fun effect! Then she used the stencil with the leaves and inked it with green distress inks. She also added green inks over the whole upper part of the card front, fading them to the bottom left corner. Some paint and water splatters add a bit of fun texture. 

Next, she created the cute kitty image to add to her card. The cute cat peeking out from behind hibiscus flowers and tropical leaves is from our Aloha Newton Stamp Set. She colored the image in fun tropical colors and cut it out using the coordinating Aloha Newton Die Set. She added more individual hibiscus flowers and leaves behind the image to add some more dimension to the image. 

To finish the card she adds the word "Mahalo" embossed in white onto a small black rectangle. She also added some black and white washi tape up the side to help balance the colors. 

What a beautiful summer card!

Hibiscus Thank You Card by Larissa Heskett

Hibiscus Stencil Thank You!!

Happy Friday! Today we are sharing a gorgeous hibiscus card by Larissa! She created this gorgeous background using our two piece Hibiscus Stencil Set. The two piece stencils have etching of the opposite layer on them which makes them easy to line up and use with multiple colors or mediums. To achieve the stunning effect on this card, Larissa used green glitter gel paste on the stencil layer that has the leaves. Then she switched to the stencil that has the flowers and she used transfer gel and white flocking. After she finished the flocking she lined up the flower stencil layer a second time and added distress ink over the flocked flowers to give them their  lovely color! She lined it up a third time to add the gold foil to the flower stamens.

Once this gorgeous panel was created, she framed it with a scalloped edge border using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she stamped the "thank you" sentiment from our Peony Blooms Stamp Set and cut it out using the stitched circles from our Frames Squared Die Set to layer over her background. 

Here is a close-up so you can see the sparkle and texure:

Thank you,  Larissa, for sharing this lovely inspiration with us today! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

It's Happy Meowr Somewhere Card by Samantha Mann

A Tropical Happy Meowr Card!
Today we are fun, rainbow and tropical-themed card by Samantha!

This card features:
Frames & Tags Die Set
Cocktail Mixer Stamp Set
Cocktail Mixer Die Set
Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set
Newton’s Happy Meowr Die Set
Hibiscus Stencil Set

I started by stamping the images from Newton’s Happy Meowr and the Cocktail Mixer stamp sets. Then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in! Once they were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some details. Then I used the coordinating dies to die cut out the images.

To create the background, I used some light grey cardstock. Then I used some white embossing paste and the Hibiscus Stencil Setto add a little bit of tropical whimsy and fun! Also, the subtle addition of the texture is so cool!

Then I die cut out the frame from white cardstock using the Frames & Tags Die Set, which was popped up with foam tape!
I finished the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white. It's a combination of sentiments from
Cocktail Mixer and Newton’s Happy Meowr. It's was so fun to combine these stamp sets!

Beautiful Succulent Card by Samantha Mann

Life would Succ Without You!

Today we are inspired by this gorgeous succulent card by Samantha!

To create this beautiful card she heat embossed the pretty succulent stamps from our Succulent Garden Stamp Set using white embossing powder. Then she added color to the leaves using watercolor markers in shades of pink, green and orange. So gorgeous! She cut all the pretty little plants out using the coordinating Succulent Garden Die Set. 

For her card, she inked a white card base using green oxide inks and then added leaves to it using our Hibiscus Stencil Set. Next she inked up a second cardstock panel using pink and orange and then cut it out into a frame using our Frames & Tags Die Set. So gorgeous! 

To assemble her card she added the pink and orange frame over the background, popping up the outer frame using some dimensional adhesive.  Then she added all the little succulent pieces, arranging them in a cascade across the frame. She added some white paint splatters across the whole card for an added fun texture. Last, she embossed the sentiment "Life would SUCC without you!" in white onto black cardstock and hand cut it out to add onto her card. This fun sentiment goes perfectly with the succulent theme! 

What a gorgeous floral card! We love the technique of embossing the images in white and adding color! We hope you will give this a try!
