Wedding Card Trio

My son recently visited me and had requests for wedding cards. I didn't have any on hand so I sat down one afternoon while he was doing other things and created these 3 wedding cards for him using stamps from Unity Stamps! I love that I finally found stamp sets that help make wedding cards easily that look so good!

Since I made them quickly I didn't keep track of each card's supplies but I did keep track of all the supplies- listed below. I don't know if I can pick a favorite, can you?

Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Pajama Crafter Stamps Shark Week | Hello Chum

Hello crafty friends! It's Shark Week at Pajama Crafter Stamps and today's card is all about the sharks!

Let's take a closer look at how I created today's card!

 

Ink Blending and Stenciling

It’s no secret that I love patterned paper and that is typically where I start but I have recently discovered the Awesome Sauce that Pajama Crafter Stamps carries and it makes ink blending a dream! I started with ink blending Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink with Awesome Sauce to create a beautiful, blended cardstock. To add some interest, I used the Sunburst Stencil and that same Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink to make it look like light coming down into the water.

 

I felt like the underwater background still needed a little something, so I sprayed and splashed some water onto it because Distress Oxide inks react with water. I set it aside to let it dry.

Stamping and Coloring Sharks

While my background was drying I stamped out the Hammerhead Shark and 2 of the Great White Sharks from the Happy Flappy Stamp Set onto MarshmallowColoring Paper and colored them with my Copic markers and then fussy cut them out.

 

Copics Used:

Hammerhead Shark: W6, W5, W4, W2, E04

Great White Sharks: C6, C5, C4, C2

 

Finish the Card

I made sure the ocean background layer was dry and then cut it, making sure to cut off the top and bottom of the stenciling where it didn’t fit the scene I was creating. I cut this layer to 4 ¾ x 3 ½ inches. I created 2 more layers, one in gray measuring 5 ¼ x 4 inches and one in white measuring 5 x 3 ¾ inches.

 

I cut out a banner out of more ink blended cardstock with the Banner Die Set and stamped my sentiment, Hello Chum onto it.

 

I adhered all my layers, popped up the sentiment onto foam adhesive and then added a few Opalescence Confetti Embellishments because I thought they looked like bubbles.

Have a happy day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Always Sea Life's Beauty

I was in a mermaid mood today so I chose Make A Splash Meadow to create with. She's such a beautiful mermaid!

I colored her with my Copics and then fussy cut her out.

After she was all colored and cut out I paired her with the Sea Shells & Sea Horses 6x6 paper pad. I stamped the sentiment right onto the paper in black so it would stand out. What a beautiful sentiment, "Always Sea Life's Beauty".

It's a Good Day to have a Good Day!!

Today I am sharing a card I created for a recent swap with the theme of Picnic/Food. I am using the retired Newton's Nook Woodland Picnic stamp set for my card today. I don't think this set has ever seen ink, yikes!!

I paired the cute critters with some fun papers from Doodlebug and some dies from my stash. 

I hope my swap partner likes it! It was fun to get all those critters colored up with my Copics and arrange them on the card. It's a little busy but I thought it was a fun picnic scene!

Have a good day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
