Easter Wishes – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

I am back today with a super cute Easter card, which I have created with the new release of Pretty Pink Posh. This card is part of a fun, 3 day long Instagram Hop – for all the details and prizes, visit my Instagram account.

First I stamped and coloured the images from the Leafy Spring Wreath and Spring Chick stamp sets. I used Copic markers, but stepped out of my comfort zone and picked colours which are not my go-to colours:

• wreath: G16, G02, G00
• chicks: E55, E53, E51, E50, Y38
• eggs: B06, B04, B02, B00, BG13. BG23, BG11, YG63, YG61, YG11
• ribbon: Y18, Y13, Y00

I cut everything out with their coordinating dies and while I was die cutting I also created the sentiment: I used the new Easter Wishes Shadow die. I cut the shadow from white cardstock and the sentiment itself from a pretty glitter green.

For the card base I chose kraft to match the chicks and to make the wreath stand out. Before popping up the chicks and ribbon with 3D foam squares I added a bundle of thin silver thread behind them as an extra touch.

I embellished the wreath with Flower Garden Clay Confetti Mix, it has the most adorable little clay flowers I have ever seen! I also added clear shimmer to the eggshells and used glossy accents on the ribbon, beaks and egg decoration.

I hope you got inspired o try new colour combos of your favourite colouring medium too and you hop on to Instagram to play along with us for precious prizes!

See you soon,

Pretty Pink Posh March Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

I am thrilled to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh March release Blog Hop. This Spring release is just my favourite, I was so hungry for fresh, Spring designs! To celebrate the new release, we are having a 3 day Blog Hop, so it is worth to check the previous days on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog for eve more inspiration.

For my card I mixed and matched stamps from the new release and from older ones too to create a cute garden scene. I stamped and coloured the images from the Mouse Friends and Flower Garden stamp sets. I used Copic markers ad cut everything out with the coordinating dies.

Then I created a very simple, inked background by blending Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks directly on a white A2 sized card base. I made sure not to overlap the colours. I added some water droplets ad ink splatters for a more exciting, textured look. I love splattering!

I die cut the Happy Spring Shadow die from Magenta Glitter cardstock, but only the words without the shadow. It is so delicate and pretty! I adhered it to the top of my card using drops of liquid glue. I have a thin nozzle on my glue bottle which allows me to adhere intricate dies like a breeze.

Then I built the garden scene from all the die cut images. Some I adhered flat, some with 3D foam squares for a very dimensional look. Aren’t these gardening mice the cutest ever? I am amazed how well they coordinate with the new release.

As a finishing touch I added white gel pen highlights and used a black glaze pen on the noses, eyes and flower centers. I also added a bit of clear shimmer to some of the flowers as we can never have too much sparkle, right?

Birthday tags – Heffy Doodle

Welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. We are all in excitement of the new release so I brought you some super cute tags using the Wrapped with love stamp/die set and the Tag shaker dies. Let me guide you through the process!

First I stamped and coloured the images from the Wrapped with Love stamp set using Copic markers. The colours I used are the following: W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, W00. E44, E43, E42, E40, RV99, RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02, RV10, YR09, YR07, Y38, Y15, Y08, Y02. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

While I was die cutting I also cut tags with the Tag shaker die set: one from yellow cardstock, one from vellum and one from patterned paper from the Spring Breeze paper pad. I also cut the rectangular reinforcer from the same yellow cardstock and the bow from pink cardstock.

I assembled the tags: adhered the pattered one on top of the yellow slightly offset, then added the reinforcer on the vellum tag. I used the back of the reinforcer to hide the adhesive and applied liquid glue on this small part before attaching the vellum tag directly on top of the patterned one. It mutes the pattern tiny and gives a very delicate, extra touch!

I popped up the images on the bottom, the bow o the top. I white heat embossed a sentiment on a thin strip of black cardstock and cut it up, so each word is on a separate banner. This way I could fit a longer sentiment on the tags. As a finishing touch I used black & white twine and added clear shimmer to the packages.

I wish you enjoyed today’s Perfect Combo and will check back later for more inspiration. If you like my cards, please make sure to follow me on Instagram where I also share my happy creations! Thank you!

Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop!  We are so excited to share amazing cards from our Design Team members using the new release which goes live today in the stores! Scroll down for the details, and grab a coffee/tea before you start hopping!

For my card I stamped and coloured the cute images from Be Hoppy and Special Delivery as I wanted to make a new baby scene.

The Copic markers I used are the following:

• frogs: G28, G16, G02, G00
• leaves: YG09, YG06, YG05, YG01
• reed: E57, E55, E53, YG67, YG17, YG03
• stork and pebbles: N7, N5. N3, N1
• log and bag: E59, E57, E55, E53, E51
• flower: YR09, YR04, Y38

Then I cut them all out with their coordinating dies.

For the background I did some simple inkblending on a white card base with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for the sky. Then I masked off a part for the river with Heffy Memo Tape and blended Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink very gently before using the Ripple Waves stencil. I applied the same ink just with a heavier hand an before removing the stencil I sprayed it with a clear shimmer mist. I love the effect it gives!

I also die cut a grassy bank with the Freshly Cut Grass die set and blended it with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

After assembling the scene, I stamped the sentiment on the very top of the card from the Special Delivery stamp set and white heat embossed another one on black cardstock. I used its coordinating die to cut it out and adhered it under the stamped line.

Blooming Birthday – Newton’s Nook Designs

Hello Everyone,

Have you ever needed a birthday card but super quickly? Well, I was in this situation recently, when I needed a card for a friend of ours. She is fond of Spring flowers so I came up with a very easy design – perfect for mass production too! All products used are from Newton’s Nook Designs.

First I did some quick ink blending with Scattered Straw and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide inks leaving a small area white on my card panel. I made sure to fade out the colours, I just simply lightened my hand while blending. Then I took the retiring Bold Blooms stencil from Newton’s Nook Designs and applied Abandoned Coral and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. Before removing the stencil, I spritzed it with clear Shimmer Mist for a subtle sparkle.

I used the decorative edge die from Frameworks to cut the panel down and stamped a sentiment in the white area from the Loads of Blooms stamp set.

I adhered i to a white top folding A2 notecard and added a few Apricot pearls from Pretty Pink Posh as embellishment.

I wish you enjoyed today’s inspiration and will pop in again soon for more fun projects!

See you,

Zsofi

Heffy Doodle New Release reveals – Day 4

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the last day of the new release reveals at Heffy Doodle! Our team made gorgeous samples for you to show the rest of the new goodies, so make sure to visit the Heffy Doodle Blog for more details.

I have a fun party card for you featuring the Flockstar stamp/die set, the Freshly Cut Grass dies, the Candy Swirl stencil and the Pride Sparkle Mix.

First I stamped and coloured the cute flamingos from the Flockstar stamp set using Spectrum Noir markers. The colours I used are: PP4, PP3, PP2, PP1, LG4, BG4, BG1, GY2. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

Then I used the Candy Swirl stencil on a top folding white note card with Fossilized Amber and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. I made the patter fade out towards the edges of the card by simply applying the lighter ink with a very light hand.

To embellish the scene I die cut a few leaves with the Freshly Cut Grass dies from green cardstock ad adhered them to the top of the card. I also cut a pink Skinny Imperial Rectangle Frame to frame the scene. I popped up the images with 3D foam squares and stamped a sentiment and a few music notes in black.

As a finishing touch I added a few sequins from the Pride Sparkle Mix and used glossy accents on the beaks and legs, and also on the tape recorder too. So retro and so cool!

I wish you enjoyed today’s reveals and you are ready to shop! Pre-orders are open and every purchase gets a freebie!

See you soon,

Heffy Doodle New Release reveals – Day 3

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to the 3rd day of the Heffy Doodle new release reveals! Our Design Team showcases a galore of fun new products today, for all the info please visit the Heffy Doodle blog.

For my card today, I used the Sky High Cloud Backdrop die, the Special Delivery stamp/die set, the New Arrival sentiment set, the Moxy Alphabet die set and the Starry Night Sparkle Mix.

First I worked on the background: I die cut the Sky High Cloud Backdrop die from white cardstock and did a little ink blending with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks. I also added a little shading to all the little die cut clouds, I love the depth it gives. I mounted it on an A2 sized notecard and popped up all the clouds with 3D foam squares for dimension.

Then I stamped and coloured the cute stork with the bag from the Special Delivery stamp set using Copic markers. The coloulrs I used are: T7, T5, T2, T1, T0, E44, E42, E41, YR09, YR07, YR04. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

While I was die cutting I also cut my custom sentiment which I made with the Moxie Alphabet die set. I cut each letter twice: once from white and also from silver glitter cardstock. I adhered them together and adhered them to the clouds. Some letters needed extra support, so I used teeny tiny 3D foam squares for that.

I also stamped the rest of the sentiment under the letters from the New Arrival stamp set.

I popped up the stork and embellished the card with a few sequins from the Starry Night Sparkle Mix. I wish I have made a pink version of this card immediately, but I was not wise enough. Next time 🙂

I wish you enjoyed today’s reveals and will come back tomorrow for more fun! And don’t forget that every preorder after 28/02 gets a freebie!

See you,

Heffy Doodle New Release Reveals – Day 2

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to participate in the Heffy Doodle new release reveals! This release is huge and full of crafty goodness. Check out the Heffy Doodle blog for all the details.

For my card I used the cute Be Hoppy stamp and die set along with the new Ripple Waves stencil and Jumbo Jump for Joy sentiment die. All new products will be available on 7th March!

First I stamped and coloured the little frogs from Be Hoppy using Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. The colours I used are:

• frogs: YG09, YG05, YG01, Y21, Y000
• leaves: G19, G17, G03
• flowers: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11

Then I die cut the Jump for joy sentiment from green cardstock 4 times and the shadow from black cardstock. On the top layer I did some quick ink blending with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink for a gradient look. Then I adhered all layers together and backed it with its shadow.

I wanted to keep the card simple so on a white card base I used the new Ripple Waves stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxid ink without paying attention to even blending. Therefore in some places the pattern is darker and in some it is lighter. So cool! Before removing the stencil, I added clear shimmer mist to the background, which adds a subtle sparkle to the waves.

After assembling the card I stamped an extra sentiment under the die cut one from the Be Hoppy stamp set and embellished the car with Enchanted Moss Sparkle Mix.

I wish you enjoyed today’s reveals and will come back tomorrow for more fun! And don’t forget that every preorder after 28/02 gets a freebie!

See you,

Zsofi

Loads of Love – Heffy Doodle

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. As it is Valentine’s Day today, I created a fun little farm scene for you mixing ad matching several stamp sets and stencils. Let me guide you through the process.

First I stamped and coloured the images from Farmyard Fun and Udderly Fabulous. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers: GY5, GY3, GY, GY1, DR5, DR2, DR1, DR05, BG7, BG5, BG4, BG2, BG1, FS7, FS6, VB3,VB2, VB1, VB05, EB5, EB2, EB1. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

Then I used the Green Fields stencil on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks. I used a lighter hand towards the bottom to help the ink fade out. I wanted the sky to be a bit more whimsical than plane clouds so I used the Scribble on my heart stencil with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink, fading it out towards the edge of the grass. I didn’t do any kind of masking just did not allow the inks to meet. So easy, yet special!

The sentiments are from both stamp sets, white heat embossed on strips of black cardstock. I popped up the images on the background with 3D foam squares, just as the sentiments. The scene building elements I adhered with liquid glue.

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the eyes of the cow, added white gel pen highlights randomly and used glossy accents on the wheels.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Perfect Combo and will check back later for more inspiration. If you like my cards, please make sure to follow me on Instagram where I also share my happy creations! Thank you!

See you soon,

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Release Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be part of the new release blog hop with Pretty Pink Posh! They are turning 9 this month and the we celebrate in style with a 4 days long blog hop. The new release is full of birthday themed stamps, dies and stencils, check them out!

For my card I used the Birthday Signs stamp set and stamped the cute crocodile and cupcakes on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I coloured the images with Copic markers and cut them out with their coordinating dies.

While I was die cutting I die cut also 2 tags using the Birthday Sentiments coordinating die set: one white and one aqua as I wanted to make them a see-through shaker tag. I covered the open areas with acetate and used thin foam strips to create a funnel which I filled with Citrus Mix jewels. I also added a decorative eyelet to the top and finished it off with twine. I adhered the croc and the cupcakes and my focal panel was ready!

For the background I used the new Layered Party Hats stencils on lime cardstock. For the first layer I used Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink, then for the second and third layers I used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I love the tone-on-tone look I got this way! To match the party hat of the crocodile, I used Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide for the little star layer, I think it really pops!

I wanted to add another sentiment, so I used the Large Celebrate Shadow die ad cut it from blue metallic cardstock. I wanted it to look as it is foiled, so I did not use the shadow die for it.

As a finishing touch I added a bit of clear shimmer to the party hat and cupcake holders, and added glossy accents tot he candle and the teeth of the croc.
