Thinking of You!

Hi everyone! I’m on the Trinity Stamps Blog today! I’m exited to share the New Gorgeous Summer Blooms Paper Crafting Kit today. This is Trinity Stamps first kit and it comes with so much to make cards for various occasions. This kit also coordinates with the First Bloom Stamp and Die Set and there is a Special discount if you purchase both together. I will have that down below with products used in Today’s card. I will show you how I created this Slimline card. Let’s get started!

I stamped the Corner Floral image two times from the Summer Blooms Stamp Set with Versafine Black ink and Clear embossing powder. These florals were stamped on 140lb. watercolor paper using my stamping platform. I used Karin Brush Markers with a paintbrush and a little bit of water. I would let my florals dry and come back to do another coat.

Next, I finished water coloring my florals. I am really loving the blues on them. I cut them out with the Summer Blooms dies and I wanted to use these papers from the New Pattern papers in this kit. I also cut out a slimline panel with white cardstock using the Slimline Striped Frame Panel Die.

I stamped this nice large sentiment from Big and Bold sentiments onto the blue pattern paper using my stamping platform with black dye ink. I also cut my pattern paper with the leaves to be shown through the stripes and to also be used as my center rectangle panel. I then glued them together using liquid glue.

Now it was time to assemble my card together. I glued my striped frame panel to a Slimline card base. I cut my sentiment strip using my paper trimmer to fit on my panel with my florals. I did cut tiny pieces off the edges of my floral images for a cleaner look. Lastly, I added Jewels from the kit and white accents with my white signo pen. I hope you have enjoyed my card and I hope you grab the kit.

Pool Cards

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great week. I have some fun and really cute cards to share with you using Unity Stamps and since there are some Red/ White/ and Blue Challenges I made my cards using this color theme for my Summer Cards. I also plan on mailing these cards (wish me luck) LOL I have been behind on Happy Mail.

Aren’t these cards cute? I love girl images like this. This Stamp image was illustrated by my friend Sandhya Iyer and this stamp set is called Float Away. It’s so fun and when I seen it I knew I had to have it. I first started out making this card. I stamped this rubber stamp into my Mini Misti Stamping Platform. I used Fabriano Coldpress140lb Watercolor paper. I stamped the image with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and embossed with Hero Arts Clear embossing powder. The Pressure Pal Tool was so helpful for getting my image crisp. I taped down my image onto a wooden board using painters tape to hold it down and painted with my Karin Markers and a Altenew detailed watercolor Brush and water. I painted water around my image for fun. After, I achieved the look I desired I cut my panel with my paper trimmer. I cut out some white cardstock 110lb to use with MFT”s Pool Water Stencil. I used that stencil with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink and a Simon Says stamp Blender Brush. I then cut it out with a Gina Marie Designs Double Stitched A2 Rectangle die. I added foam to the back of my image and glued my image and panel to a A2 card base. I stamped the sentiment with Nocturne ink and cut out my sentiment with a banner die. I added foam partially on the back before adhering it. Lastly, I added some Pinkfresh Studio Glacier Jewels.

, On this card I changed the coloring around and the bating suit design. Everything else is the same except I fussy cut the image this time and added foam to the back before adding it to my ink blended background. The sentiment banner is glued on and more Glacier Jewels added. I hope you have enjoyed my Summer Red/Blue/ and White cards. So much fun to make. Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks for being there!

Hi everyone! I have a coloring card process video over on my YouTube Channel. You can watch it here:

I made this card using Unity Stamps Care and Hope Iris illustrated by friend Sandhya Ilyer. It’s such a beauty. I first stamped it onto Canson Mixed Media 138lb. watercolor paper with Versafine ink and Clear embossing powder from Hero Arts. I began coloring with my New Tombow Markers with tropical colors in mind. The colors I used are 195, 725, 817, 126, and 026. I used my #2 Silver Black Velvet Brush with a little bit of water. I did dry my panel in between layers using my Wagner Heat Tool. I also used my Prismacolor Colored pencils for the nooks and crannies in Pc034 Golden rod, and Pc 913 Spring Green. I then used Ellen Hutson’s Rectangle frame dies to cut out my panel using my Spellbinders Platinum die cutting Machine. I also cut it out with a orangly color to match my background and doubled them up. I added foam to my A2 card base which I like the dimension a little bit more than foam tape sometimes before adding my panel.

I had stamped and heat embossed a bunch of these sentiment strips from Taylored Expressions You are the Best and then used the Asymmetrical die to cut them out. I also added foam to the back before adding it onto my panel. Lastly, I added some sequins from Catherine Pooler to match. I hope you have enjoyed my card and details. Thank you for stopping by!

I miss you, that is all!

Hi everyone! I have a card to show you today! I watercolored this floral beauty from Not2Shabby’s Bouquet of Happiness. I also have a card process video on my YouTube Channel and I would love you to watch and subscribe. https://youtu.be/-sUfh5JFAQc

I first cut out a rectangle of watercolor cardstock from Arteza 110lb coldpress cardstock. I then stamped and heat embossed the floral images with Ranger Gold embossing powder. Some of my bigger floral image didn’t get embossed all the way, so that is the reason for the smaller flowers. I colored the florals with Derwent Inktense Pencils, and a Altenew water brush. The colored pencils I used are Cadmium Yellow 0210, Sun Yellow 0200, Scarlet Pink 0320, and Carmine Pink 0520. When I was happy with my results I fussy cut the florals.

I cut out another piece of Arteza cardstock with a Gina Marie Designs Double stitched Rectangle die. I then used my Altenew Watercolors gray paint for my background. I probably painted three layers and then air dried it with my heat gun. I then added the darker yellow for my water paint splatters. I added my flowers with foam tape to my panel. I also added foam tape to my double stitched rectangle before adding it to my Neenah Solar white 110 card base. Lastly, I added yellow drops with pops of color pearl-Yellow Chiffon. I hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Darling!

Hi my friends! I hope your doing great on this Tuesday! I have a Birthday card to share today using a new to me company! Colorado Craft Company.

So I used this stamp set called Lovely Legs Valentine Stamp from Colorado Craft Company. Since I didn’t use it for Valentine’s Day it has these Birthday sentiments. So that is what I did. I stamped this image onto Taylored Expressions Watercolor cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. I then colored the image in with Prima Pastel watercolors and Prima Complexion watercolor paints and my black velvet brush and water. I painted the background also and flickered paint splatters with white Copic Paint and a silverish Hydracolour paint.

I cut out my watercolor panel out with a die from My Creative Time and placed my panel in my Misti to stamp and heat emboss the sentiment with Versafine black ink and Hero Arts Clear embossing powder. I then cut out some colored cardstock to match using a A2 stitched rectangle. I glued my panel to my colored cardstock and then to my A2 card base. Lastly, I added some sequins to match. I hope you like my Birthday card, it was so much fun to make. I really like this company so you may see another card from me using another stamp set. Thank you for stopping by!

Fall Bouquet

Hi everyone! I have a Fall card today, even if I didn’t use traditional Fall colors I had a lot of fun making it.

I used this beautiful stamp set called Fall Bouquet by Miss Ink Stamps. I first stamped the florals and stems onto Taylored Expressions Watercolor Paper with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink using my Misti stamping tool. I then used my Karin Brush Markers, Silver Black Velvet brush, and some water to color my florals to my liking. I did let it dry and came back the next day to add a little more layers. I then fussy cut them both out.

I used some pieces of cardstock with watercolor paper using a double stitched rectangle from Gina Marie Designs. I splattered it with my Gansai Tambi gold paint using Starry Colors using paintbrush. I also used a left over red color from my Karin Marker. After it was dry, I added my panel to a A2 card base. I added my stems with liquid glue and then added my florals with foam tape. I put my card front into my misti and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with Ranger Gold powder and my Versamark ink. Lastly, I added some glitter gold enamel dots. I hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by!

I used some Afflitiate Links but at no cost to you if you click on them.
