Card set with mixed media cutouts – kreativt_uttrykk

Hello again! Here is yet another set of card that I created using the mixed media cutouts by kreativt_uttrykk.

What cutouts, you are asking? Go to this INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on the cutous and also a link to ther Etsy store. You can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).

And now to the cards I made:

For this one I used a STAMPlorations stencil with Distress Oxide Ink to create the faded background pattern. On top of that I added the house and “tree” cutout and colored some of the parts with Posca pens. For finishing touches I added a sentiment I typed with my old typewriter.

For the second one I used similar techniques, except I also added a leftover 7DotsStudio paper a “frame” to the house and stenciled background. The rest is again decorated with Posca pens and a typewriter sentiment.

I love the houses on this set, as you might have noticed :).
Happy crafting,

Clean and simple card with stenciling

Hello and happy Friday! Here is another card share – this time in clean and simple style with some stenciling on it.

The stenciling is done with a STAMPlorations stencil – from my line there and red Distress Ink. On top of that I have added a page from 2023 Artist Almanac and a hand drawn watercolor flower and two leaves. The sticker is by Simple Stories and the puff heart is from my older stash.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! If you are interested in seeing more of my hand drawn embellishments/fodder, go to my YouTube channel. I am posting my #the100dayproject2024 there every day with something hand drawn.

Happy weekend and happy crafting,

Great Adventure – card

Hello and happy Saturday! Here is another card done with plenty of my favorite products and some white space again.

The piece of map is from an old road map book (gifted to me) and accompanied with some washi tape in black – I still adore black as contrast color and black washi always has a place in my craft room. The airplane is a rub-on on white cardstock and then fussy cut. The stickers are by Tim Holtz and the stenciling is done with a STAMPlorations stencil and Distress Oxide ink.

The green dots are Nuvo Glow Drops (they glow in the dark!!!) and add a fun detail to the card.

I had fun making this card! So what have you been upto lately? Are you planning on joining #the100dayproject this year? I am thinking of doing another year – or at least trying to do one. I might go onto the direction of making my own ephemera/embellishments for 100 days (thinking of using inks, paints, media and pens to do these). The challenge starts on February 18th…

Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine birthday card

Hello and happy Tuesday! Here is another card with white space, but this time with a more masculine theme.

I used mainly black and brown for this card. The stenciling is again done using Distress Oxide ink with a STAMPlorations stencil. I also added a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker (small talk) and some leftover papers from Canvas Corp Brands to the card.

The brow star stickers go back the longest, I think. They are from my Studio Calico subscription days. This will make a great birthday card for a man, I think.

Happy crafting,

Cardmaking tutorial – STAMPlorations

Hello everyone – this tutorial has been sitting and waiting for posting for a very long time, so I figured I´ll just share it now for random inspiration!!! With New Year just around the corner, let´s think of these cards as motivation for 2024 :). Here are three cards with Stamps, Stencils and Stickers. Hope you like them!

Card 1: 

For this card I used following products: Bloomdalascopic #7 stencil, Good Things clear stickers and Shine Bright stamp set. 

To create this card I did the following steps: 

Step 1: I first placed the stencil onto the card base and applied Distress Oxide thru it in three different tones (yellow, pink and blue). Then I removed the stencil and misted it with water to and pressed it onto a second card base (this is the beginning of card two), but since I did it at this point, I will also mention it already here. 

Step 2: Next I added the stamping using the Shine Bright stamp set and black ink. I bend the sentiment into a curve to follow the line of the stencil border. 

Step 3: After that I cut a piece of the same toned cardstock to adhere the Good Things clear sticker sentiment onto it, I fussy cut the piece into a banner/flag and inked the bottom are in the same yellow tone as I had used in the stencil pattern earlier. For more texture I also adhered the sentiment with 3D foam on place. 

Card 2:

For this card I used the following products: Bloomdalascopic #7 stencil, Trendy Butterflies stamp set and Shine Bright clear stickers.

To create the card I used the following steps:

Step 1: Like mentioned in the beginning, I took the already inked Bloomdalascopic #7 stencil and misted the Distress Oxide inked areas and then pressed the stencil onto the card base for a second image. 

Step 2: Create another similar background like on the first card and stamp a Trendy Butterfly onto it with black ink and then fussy cut the image. 

Step 3: Adhere the clear sticker onto a piece of cardstock, fussy cut into a banner and ink the edges pink.

Step 4: Add a few ink splatters onto the background for additional interest.

Step 5: Add a stamped sentiment directly onto the card base and adhere the butterfly on place using 3D foam.

Step 6: Finally use 3D foam and adhere the banner under the previously stamped sentiment and hte card is done. Here is the finished card once more: 

Card 3: 

For the third card I used the following products: Big Blooms Slimline Stencil, Bloom Doodles stamp set and Good Things clear stickers. 

And this is how I created card number three: 

Step 1: I placed the Big Blooms stencil on top a white slimline card base and added the same Distress Oxide colours thru it onto the card, like on the previous two cards.

Step 2: Next I stamped a row of flowers into the middle section of the card with black stamp ink and the Bloom Doodles set.

Step 3: For finishing touches I added the Good Things clear sticker (fussy cut into two parts!) onto cardstock and again cut them into banners/flags. This time I inked the ends of the banners with blue ink and adhered them with 3D foam to the card for more texture. 

So I´ ve basically used the same idea on all cards with same colours, but they still look different because I´ ve either changed proportions of stenciling or stamping or positioning on the card bases. I like to challenge myself this way to see with how many different variations I can come up with using one idea. 

I hope I could inspire you to pull out some stamps, stencils and stickers and play with them yourself!

Take care, Sanna
