Stitched Card Featuring Ink to Paper's Just Sentiments: Get Well Stamps

Hello, friends!  I am so happy you stopped by for this stitched card featuring Ink to Paper's new Just Sentiments: Get Well stamps.  Stitched cards are my jam, and I'm thrilled to share the process with you today! 

I started my card by cutting a circle out of white cardstock.  I then traced a smaller circle in pencil inside the perimeter of the circle.  I used this pencil circle to stamp florals and foliage from the Pleasing Envelopes: Special Delivery, Graceful Wings, and the new Deer to Me stamp sets in shades of dusty pink, cocoa and chartreuse green.  Then the fun began: the stitching!  I used coordinating shades of embroidery floss to stitch around the circle and to add details to the leaves and other foliage.  To finish the embellishing, I added french knots and some floral sequins around the floral frame. 

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Just Sentiments: Get Well stamp onto a circle of polka dot paper.  I adhered this paper to a larger circle of vellum and added some stitched details around the edge.  After adhering this to the center of my card, it was finished! 

I had so much fun creating this project and I hope you enjoyed it, too.  Links to the products I used are above.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again soon with another project featuring new products from Ink to Paper! 

Handmade Card Featuring Ink to Paper Brighter Days, Feathered Friends 6 and Cover Plate: Ornate Stamps and Dies

Hello, crafty friends!  I'm so happy you stopped by today for this card I made using products from the new Ink to Paper November release.  Keep reading to see how these elements came together! 

I started my project by creating my bird with the new Feathered Friends 6 dies.  I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and used Distress Oxide Inks and sponge daubers to color my bird.  After assembling the pieces, I used the Love to Layer: Scalloped Circle dies to cut two layered circles with vellum and patterned paper.  I then used the Framing Florals stamps and dies to create floral embellishments by stamping them onto white cardstock and coloring them in with Copic markers.  I then adhered the florals around the edge of the larger circle and affixed my bird to the middle. 

To create the base of my card, I chose a panel of Weathervane cardstock and adhered a strip of yellow floral patterned paper across the middle.  I die cut a panel using the new Cover Plate: Ornate die (which is GORGEOUS) from white cardstock and affixed it over the gray panel.  I popped up the center circle with some foam tape in the middle.  I then stamped my sentiment on patterned paper and cut it out with a die from the Banner Builders: Basics dies.  I added some quick stitching around the edge using pink cardstock. 

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Links to the products I used are above.  I'll see you again soon for another project featuring new products from Ink to Paper.  Thanks for stopping by! 

Stitched Accents with Ink to Paper's Deer to Me Stamp Set and Border Bling: Believe Dies

Hi, friends!  Thank you for stopping by today for another creation made with Ink to Paper's November release.  This card features the new Deer to Me stamps and dies and the new Border Bling: Believe dies.

I love deer images, and these in particular were perfect for adding some stitched accents (my favorite way to add interest and texture to a card).  I began by die cutting my deer from woodgrain cardstock.  I die cut an oval using the Geometrix: Oval dies using Sweet Blush cardstock.  I then stamped some foliage around the base and perimeter of the oval and adhered my deer.  After stamping the antlers, I did a quick and simple backstitch to add some texture to the card. 

For the remaining embellishments, I used the Twig Wreath stamp set to stamp florals in Hibiscus Burst and Sweet Blush inks.  I also used the Tag Creations: Blooming Indulgence die set to create some leaves.  I added some simple stitched details to these florals before adhering them around the border of the oval. 

To finish the card, I die cut a base using the new Border Bling: Believe die with coordinating cardstock.  I added a strip of patterned paper down the center then added my oval, using foam tape for dimension.  I added some additional foliage around the center oval for interest.  

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Links to the products I used are provided above.  I'll see you again tomorrow with more Ink to Paper projects! 

Ink to Paper November Release: Winter Woodlands Shadow Box Card

 

Hello, friends!  Welcome to Day 1 of Ink to Paper's November release!  I'm so happy you stopped by for this fairytale-themed shadow box card made with the beautiful new Winter Woodlands stamps and dies.  

As soon as I saw this set, I immediately thought about giving it added depth and dimension by making a shadow box card.  If you've never made one before, I highly recommend giving it a try - it is really easy and really brings your card creations to life.  Jennifer McGuire has an excellent tutorial here; this is what I used to learn how to make these beautiful cards. 

I decided to use a soft, fairytale-inspired color palette for my card, choosing pale lavender, mint and pink shades.  After stamping my sentiment on vellum and heat embossing it in silver, I used the coordinating dies to cut out all of my elements and assembled the card.  I used the Starflakes die set and the new Border Bling: Twinkle die to embellish the outside of my card.  

I hope you enjoyed these projects!  Be sure to stop by all week to see more projects made with the new Ink to Paper release.  I'll see you soon!
