Wind Beneath My Wings

 

Here's another quick card; this time an easy to mail encouragement design. The butterfly die is Tim Holtz/Sizzix Brushstroke Butterflies thinlets; the stamp set is Stamp Simply's Typewritten Greetings What You Mean to Me.  Check out all of Stamp Simply's Typewritten Sentiments...they are absolutely wonderful to add a special sentiment to your design!

I began by die cutting the butterfly out of watercolor paper then colored the pieces with my new Kuretake Zig Clean Brush Markers. These markers are so easy to use; apply a bit of color and then move the color around with water and a watercolor brush. 

The Stamp Simply sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink, directly to the cardstock background.

Easy!

Friends are Like Flowers!

Playing once again with my new Kuretake Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. This stamp set is an older set: Altenew's Wild Flora stamp set, sold out. Pretty much any open, line drawn flower stamp would be good for practice. There are numerous pretty floral stamps over at Stamp Simply. The sentiment is also from the Wild Flora stamp set.

I began by stamping the flowers onto watercolor cardstock with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then proceeded to color them with the Zig markers. I found that layering the colors delivers a better color payoff and that using too much water to spread the ink wore the paper down a bit, even more so than regular watercolors. So, there has been a bit of a learning curve for me. 

I'll continue to play and share my outcomes. 

Thanks for checking in today!

 

Super Simple Sending Cheer Card

 

Hello! I have a super simple card for today...simple layout, one piece of decorator paper, one stamp/one die set! This makes for an easy to make and mail card--out the door in no time!

The stamp and die set featured here is Stamp Simply's Get Well Tulip. Easy to color along with some wonderful sentiments.

I stamped the tulip with Adirondack Pebble Beach ink, then colored it with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers before die cutting it with the Get Well Tulip die.

The bloom is popped up onto a backdrop of Echo Park's My Favorite Easter decorator paper. I used a corner rounder punch for a bit of added interest. 

The sentiment from the Get Well Tulip stamp set is also stamped with the Pebble Beach Ink, then die cut with an oval die. Easy!

Have a wonderful weekend...loving the Springtime feels!

Be Kind Vivid Card

 

Hi there! Here today with a vivid card using Stamp Simply's Caring Coneflower stamp and die sets. The vivid comes from Craft Consortium's Ink Drop Vivid decorator paper as well as new Zig Kuretake Clean Brush Markers for watercoloring. Take a look:

It's a fairly simple card, layering the Vivid Inkdrop paper as a base and also as a framed long rectangle for the coneflower to sit upon. The Ephesians 4:32 Bible verse is stamped directly onto the base layer with Versafine Black Onyx ink.

The coneflower was stamped with the Versafine Black Onyx ink then watercolored with the Kuretake Markers, die cut, and mounted with dimensional foam tape onto the long rectangle "frame."

Easy to make and mail!

He Lives Clean and Simple Card

 

Hello! I have a clean and simple to make Easter card for you today featuring Stamp Simply's He Lives stamp and die sets.

Just a bit of Copic coloring with a decorator paper background; sentiment stamped directly onto the background!

I do so love all of Stamp Simply's flower and die sets...they are so easy to color and if you don't like coloring they are wonderful to paper piece! Check them all out HERE.

I began by stamping the daffodils with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (my fave for Copic coloring!), then proceeded to use Copic Sketch markers to color them. The He Lives die makes for such a great finish to the blooms. 

The daffodils are then popped up onto a backdrop of blue gingham from Echo Park's My Favorite Easter decorator paper. 

The sentiments are from the He Lives stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink (great for detailed stamping!). I used a corner rounder punch to add a bit of interest to this easy to make and mail card.

The He Lives stamp and die sets are available to purchase individually or as a bundle.

All linked product is available at Stamp Simply.

Have a wonderful weekend!
