Happy Tuesday!

I fell in love with this Bloom with Grace stamp set by Altenew a while ago but somehow it kept getting set to the side while I worked on something else… the bonus to that is that when I needed a quick card this week I had a few ideas in mind already!   I splurged & got the coordinating dies (something I rarely do!) and it definitely helped me put this card together easily!

I stamped & colored the larger image in the set with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons, then cut it with the coordinating die.  I stamped a sentiment on a strip of green cardstock and then did some quick Distress Oxide Ink blending on a Kraft card stock base.  I kept the color heavier (freshly inked up) in the middle and faded it out toward the edges of the card.

I finished it off by splattering a bit of water over the ink, then added a few splatters of white spray (like this one).  A few vanilla sequins and a bit of thin twine finished it all off for me!

Hope you like how it all came together, I think I’ll make something similar with the smaller stamp and try out a few more ideas… watch for that on Instagram later this week!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 408} The Struggle is Real

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a card I made with the same image that I used for my card for our current blog hop, Pooh & his big Coffee!  I wanted to create a coffee shaker from the big open space, and this is what I came up with.  I stamped on watercolor paper & colored the image with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons.  I then added some Distress Ink Stenciling around the image with a honeycomb pattern.

I drew a frame in the mug to give me a window to cut.  Then I used a small piece of acetate behind my window, then filled the shaker with real coffee beans, some beads & sequins.

My chosen sentiment, “the struggle is real” is something I was definitely feeling as I struggled with the final assembly on this one… but I think once I trimmed things up a little bit it came out okay,  and hopefully the bling distracts from the boo-boos LOL

If you haven’t already checked out the blog hop, please do!  It’s a fairly small/quick hop but the cards are fabulous and your comments are entries for a $50 shopping spree!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a sweet & sunny little easel card that I made on Facebook Live last week!  If you joined me, thank you!  If you missed it and you want a little walk through on how to do make the card, you can catch the replay!

I just love this cute little Sunny Studio Camper stamp & coordinating die set!  I had the idea in my head to use it on an easel card but had to adapt my plan a bit when I realized how small the image is, soo…. I created a little scene on a circle I cut from Kraft card stock & paired it with a sunny sentiment.

I am not typically one who buys the matching stamp & die, but I love it when there’s sets like this that have a little bonus like the tree die!  For this card, I actually used another stamp & die set for the sentiment as well!  I used the Hello Sunshine set for the first time last year when we did our Sunflower blog hop, and it’s a really sweet little set with the die cut word and a variety of sentiments to mix & match with it.  It’s a really great price point (under $10!) and still available in the shop!

I colored up my image with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons (I know you’ve seen them a lot lately, but I’m working on learning how to best use these pretties!) and used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink stenciled on the background.

If you’ve never made an easel card before, I encourage you to watch the replay of my live class!  No hard feelings if you skip ahead to the assembly :). These little cuties are 4 1/4″ square and will fit in a standard A2 envelope.  I kept things really simple with 3D foam squares as my dimension to prop the easel up!

I hope you’re enjoying the summer sun & maybe some days away camping as well!  I look forward to seeing you back here on Friday for our August blog hop- it’s going to be fabulous!

Inky hugs,

Tara
