Blending & Die Cutting | DIY Cardmaking

Welcome back to "let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it!" Mondays.

Your Monday tutorial to MASTER YOUR CARDMAKING!

For today's card, I was inspired by the back cover of our current Mini Catalog. I love the blended Poppies and the way the Dies are overlaid. So I knew this was the card to recreate today.

Here is a photo of the card I CASE'd for you.

CASE - Copy and Share EVERYTHING!

I thought it was really pretty, but I wanted to do it on a white background and use a smaller sentiment to make the poppies stand out a little better.

All the supplies I used are listed down below, but you can watch the video to see them all and the Step-by-Step tutorial.

What did you think? Looks pretty easy right? Everything is easy when we break it down into steps.

Practice makes perfect!

Question: Do you have the Poppy Moments Stamps or are they on your wish list?

3 Challenges, ONE Card. What a Challenge!

A Little Note

It's going to be hard to top the "Make Your Own Bunnies" Card and Video I posted yesterday, but I think you will be very pleased with this little card. I enjoyed yet another challenge of incorporating more than one challenge into one card. Here were the requirements of the 3 challenges:

Inspire.Create Challenge #62

*Blank Slate* #062

How easy was that? The sky really was the limit on this one!

Sunday Stamps

*Sketch with any shape Tag* #SOC224

Global Design Project

*Let it Grow* #GDP227

Projects that feature let it grow

So maybe this one wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I choose the Painted Poppies (all supplies listed below) and the Honey Bee Designer Series Paper.

(Free Sale-a-Bration item right now).

I stamped the Poppies in Versamark, then heat set with Gold Embossing Powder. I very loosely watercolored them with Merry Merlot & Rococo Rose with an Aquapainter. The sentiment "a little note" is from the January Paper Pumpkin "I'll Be Yours" which I also embossed in gold. The Bee is from Butterfly Gala, which I embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I added the little dashes to create movement with a black marker. Then I placed the sentiment strip on the Honey Bee DSP, added some retired gold twine, then splattered some Rich Gold on the background. It came together pretty easily and anyone can recreate this quite easily.
