New Release – Von Marie

Layered Bunny Faces!

Hello everyone! I have some fun Layered Bunny Faces cards for you today using the Layered Bunny Faces Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release. I will have supplies and a coupon code down below for you.

I love this layering set. On this first card, I used Kraft paper and the Layered Bunny Faces #1 stencil first and ink blended with Ground Espresso Distress ink. I then placed Stencil #2 onto my ink blended bunny faces and used my black Gelly Roll pen to use with the faces for my bunnies. I then went back over with a white gel pen and dotted the noses for interest.

Next, I then cut out my background with a Chunky Scalloped Rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp using the largest die. I stamped a sentiment from a retired CC Designs Easter Egg Hunt stamp onto a oval die-cut. I added it to my card front with foam tape and added my card front to a A2 card base. Lastly, I used my Prismacolor Colored pencil for some pink in the bunny ears.

For my 2nd card, I used purple cardstock and ink blended with Wilted Violet distress ink, Kitsch Flamingo distress ink, and Salvaged Patina distress ink. I used my white Gelly roll pen this time for stencil #2 for my bunny faces.

Next, I used the same Scalloped Rectangle die and added a pre-made sentiment from my stash with foam tape. I also used my Prismacolor Colored pencil for the bunny ears. I added my card front to a A2 card base. I hope you like my cards. They were so much fun to make. Use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

Heart Wreath Valentine Card

Hello everyone! I have a Valentine card to share using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Design’s January 2023 Release called the Heart Wreath.

I love this stencil, it’s another favorite of mine from this release. I started out with pink cardstock and laid my Heart Wreath stencil over it. I used Nuvo Frosted Petal Glacier Paste to apply with a spatula. When it was dry I cut it out with a Mama Elephant scalloped circle die.

I cut out my scripty word sentiment using a die from Mama Elephant with Black cardstock. I glued my Circle background to a matching A2 card base. I glued my sentiment and cut the excess off with my scissors. Lastly, I added some pink sequins to match. I hope you like it. Use my coupon code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hello everyone! I have a Christmas card using one of the New Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called Showy Ho Ho Ho that is a 3×6 stencil. I will have a coupon down below for you!

I chose to use the Showy Ho Ho Ho stencil as a sentiment for this cute TGF Anya from Miss Anya All Year stamp set. I first used some white cardstock and ink blended with my stencil using Lawn Fawn Clover ink and Catherine Pooler Flame ink. I chose to not to mask my stencil but you could do that to get a neater look.

I then cut out my ink blended sentiment with a stitched A2 rectangle die. I colored up Miss Anya with Copic Markers and fussy cut her out. I added some red flame ink to my panel before I adhered her using foam tape. Lastly, I added white gel accents and red gems from Hero Arts. I hope you like the New Stencil.

Paper Sweeties August 2022 New Release Sneak Peeks!

Hi everyone! I hope you’re doing great. It’s Paper Sweeties 10th Birthday this month. Amazing right? Super exciting and there are 2 New Stamp Sets and Coordinating Sweet Cuts for the Sneak Peeks. August we will be celebrating all month long and there will be giveaways on the Paper Sweeties Blog. I have a video for you today and all New Paper Sweeties supplies will be listed down below for you!

I started out with Fabriano Hot Pressed cardstock. I stamped and heat embossed these beautiful Palm Trees from the New Vacation Stamp Set so that I could water color using my Karin Brush Markers. I place ink onto a stamp block and use a paint brush to add water and ink to my stamped image. I had a lot of fun coloring them. I then used the coordinating Vacation Sweet Cuts to cut them out. I made my background using a googled image I had seen with Palm Trees. I just Bristol Smooth cardstock and my Karin markers to doodle and blend with water and a paint brush. I added some gold paint splatters for fun. I cut my panel down and layered it with black cardstock. I added my background layers to a A2 card base.

I placed my card base into my Misti and stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from Another Day in Paradise. They are 2 separate sentiments that I put together. Super Easy. Lastly, I added a sun and cloud using the dies from Another Day in Paradise Sweet Cuts. I then glued my Palm Trees and added some clear liquid drops. I hope you like it.

A Colorful Life Designs August 2022 Release

Hello. Happy August. I hope you are doing well. I’m super excited for the New Release today. 16 NEW Designs. So much fun! I have a few cards to share using the New Lover Boy Stencil and Furry Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs August 2022 Release. I will have supplies, a video, and a coupon down below for you!

Here is the first card I made. I think these dogs are so cute from the New Lover Boy Stencil. I ink blended using Gina K Designs Honey Mustard ink on Hammermill cardstock. When I was done ink blending, I flickered some gold paint using Starry Colors from Gansai Tambi. I cut my cardstock to be A2 size. I added it to a A2 card base. I stamped my Taylored Expressions Woof sentiments onto kraft cardstock and cut them out with the coordinating die. I added 2 strips with foam strips to my card front. I added sequins to match, super easy.

On this card I ink blended the dogs with black ink on Hammermill cardstock. I just wanted to do a border of them for a different look. I chose to color their bows and hearts with Copic markers. I used the New Furry Stencil for my sentiment using black ink. I cut out my cardstock to be A2 size and added it to a A2 card base. I inked around the edges with my blending brush. I added some heart enamel stickers to finish this card.

I chose to make another card just because I love this stencil. I ink blended on Hammermill cardstock with Aspen, Espresso, and Sunshine ink. I alternated my inks to have all 3 shown. I love this color combo, not my typical combo. I flickered some metallic paint splatters using LHColors in Gold and Limeade over my panel for a fun look.

I cut my cardstock with a Taylored Expressions Die. It was bigger than an A2 panel so I placed my die over it to cut it to the right size. I glued my panel to a A2 card base. I then added a white heat embossed sentiment strip from Taylored Expressions Woof Stamp and added it with foam tape. I then placed some sequins from Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends in Sunflower. That finishes my cards. I hope you like them.
