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?

Playing With Colored Images & Entering Challenges

A couple years ago, I didn't have the space I needed to have an entire studio. So I just printed or stamped random images with the intention of one-day making cards for them. Well, it finally happened! I made the cards for these images I colored. 

I even found a few challenges to inspire me so I played along. I can't remember the Copic colors I used, but I will list the other things I used to make the cards for each challenge. 

All of the images are Sheri Baldy - Besties

Don't forget that our very own challenge MIFC#011 starts on Sunday! Someone will win a card from me too! Not to mention the honorable mentions to be had! Be sure to play along with us *wink*

Challenges I found time to enter this week;

Card #1

For the this card, I used a stencil I made with my Cricut and blended 3 Distress Oxide Inks; Mustard Seed, Festive Berries & Peacock Feathers. I stamped an old sentiment from my stash with Versamark, then embossed it on black CS, then added a few misc sequins. She is so "Spring-y" I just love her!

The challenges that inspired me for this card are:

Freshly Made Sketches - #FMS427

(I flipped it sideways)

Color & Sketch Challenges - #362

( I tried my best to match them with the Oxide Inks)

Crafty Sentiments - "Spring is Coming"

(Common' Spring! Hurry up and get here lol)

Always Fun Challenges - #154

"Flowers"

Card #2

For this card, I had someone in mind so it was perfect when I was inspired to make a Birthday Card. I found some patterned paper in my scrap drawer that reminded me of Birthday Confetti. Then I blended the background on some white CS with Festive Berries, Mustard Seed & Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some water on the BG, and when it dried I spattered a white Pearl Ex & Gouache Mixture on it. Cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle Die and added a few misc sequins, and voila! 

Done like dinner!

Shopping Our Stash - Birthday #416

Cuttlebug Mania - Birthday

Card #3

This one is probably my favorite! I'm always inspired by Festive Friday! So I set out to use 3 things from their list again this week. I used Hearts, Sequins, and for the glitter, I added some Stickles to her necklace and dress. I also used a Glitter Sakura Gel Pen. I masked a circle I cut out of some transfer tape on my Cricut, then blended the background with "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide Ink. I have heart stencil I made on my Cricut, so I dabbed on some white ink over the little hearts. When the ink was dry I colored over the white hearts with a Pink Sakura Glitter Gel Pen. Popped on a few misc sequins, added a sentiment, some strips of patterned paper and I was good to go in no time!

Festive Friday FF#0055

Thanks for another inspiring list this week! 

I also found an "Anything Goes" Challenge over at the

Anything Goes Challenge Blog

Gotta love a good "Anything Goes" Challenge!

Thank you to everyone that puts in all the hard work to keep us inspired and post awesome challenges. You are truly appreciated (((hugs)))
