Hello, today I´m sharing the last cards of this year. Just two mushroom cards I created with my final bits of Gloss Sprays and the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set.
For these cards I just grabbed a green paper onto which I had applied some texture paste thru the Marks 2 Rubber Stamps stencil. On top some neon colored droplets and a cluster of mushrooms and a stamped sentiment. The “Lucky You” text in German is hand written and some gloss spray droplets accompany it.
I created two of these cards, using the same basic idea on both. Wishing you all a good last day of 2024!!! And all the best for the next year to come. Lot´s of health, happiness and creative fun!! See you on the other side! xxx, Sanna
I started by creating the DIY paper featured in the die cut circles. I always take a spare paper to add my brayer paint residues onto, when I am gelli printing. So I took one of those papers stamped the Mixed Sentiments with a brown Distress Oxide Ink repeatedly in a random order onto the paper.
Next I inked the Marks 3 stencil with 3 tones of blue Distress Oxide inks and misted the layer with a water spray bottle. Then I pressed the stencil onto a piece of white paper to create the pattern. You can use the same inked stencil at least twice, just add water mist and press again onto another paper. There will be variations on pattern and color strength, but that makes the backgrounds even more interesting. No of them will be the same.
After creating both the background and the DIY collage paper, I die cut the collage paper one with circle and flag die cut dies. Then I adhered the stenciled background paper onto white card bases, added the die cut pieces on top and decorated the cards with fussy cut Sketchy Leaves and a bunch of Mix a Sentiment 2023 words. There are lots of layers, but still all of the cards are very flat, so they will be easy to mail.
Here are a few step-by-step videos for more details. This one is on how to make the collage paper yourself:
On this one I show how the cards come together:
And this one I´ve shared earlier, but here is how I did the leaf images:
I hope I could inspire you a little with this card set idea. Have fun stamping and stenciling!! xxx, Sanna
Hello, here is another “lost forever” post from my old blog that I re-created for the parts, that still exist. It makes me so sad that so much content with tutorials and post is forever gone. Thus, I will re-upload things I still have access to for your inspiration.
Here is a video of a love themed present set I created for Elizabeth Craft Designs a few years back. For inspiration, here is the video to watch:
I hope the video gives you some insight to the project and maybe also inspires you to create a love-themed project yourself!
