Diamond Pattern Card with Daria Grushina

 Hello-hello dear people,


Daria here. For my today's post, I've created a diamond pattern using Geometric die set and little flowers and leaves from Grateful Heart stamp. And I really like the way it turned out. 


I started with stamping and colouring small flowers and leaves from Grateful Heart stamp. Then, I die cut the flowers with  coordinating dies, along with several diamond shapes from Geometric die set. 

I arranged these geometric shapes over my card base and then worked on each flower cluster individually. I adhere every cluster using both glue dots and foam squares. 


When all of my individual pieces were done, I adhered them with foam tape to the card base. 

I also added a sentiment from  Typed Sentiments stamp set and placed on a banner from Skinny Stripes dies. A few sequins in Crystal Clear added a little bit of shine. 


As I had a lot of extra flower let, I've decided to do second card. For my second card, I went with a design I tried earlier, but with a little twist. I leave the link here, so you may check it out.  I arranged flowers, added leaves, and adhered everything with foam tape. I left little borders on the sides to mimic the frame. 


I placed a little sentiment from Typed Sentiments stamp set over a short banner from Skinny Stripes dies on the side, picking from one of the flowers. 


A single gold sequin attract attention to the sentiment and gives a little more interest to the card. 


That's it, hope you like it and may be will give a try. 
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time,

xoxo,
D.

Hello Mail Card with Daria Grushina

Hello-hello dear people,

Daria here. Hope your weekend has a good start, as I have a card for you to share in case you plan some time for crafting.   This time, I've decided to play with Mail Background Stamp. It is quite versatile one. It could be both a focal point, or a nice background. You even may cut off small envelopes or your design.


I started with heat-embossing the background in white, then add some color using smushing technique and different distress inks.

When my panel was ready, I took my circle dies from Simon (that's a basic set, you may use any circle die sets you have on hand) and die cut a circle from it. I also made a bigger circle from silver glitter paper and more bigger one from light blue cardstock.  I used our Over The Rainbow Assorted Cardstock Pack.

All these circles made a nice backing for the one with lots of envelopes.  I also decided to use woodgrain embossed paper for the background. But you may skip this step. I glue everything with double-sided tape and foam tape.


To finish the card, I added three little envelopes made from different paper with Love Mail die set. A little banner from Skinny Strips die set and a tiny Hello nicely picks from the lower envelope. The sentiment is from Butterfly Beauties stamp.  Two of three little envelopes are glued with foam squares. It gives more variation in dimension. I just love how cute these little die-cut envelopes. 


That's it, hope you like it and may be will give a try. 
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time,

xoxo,
D.

ps: I also made another background with the same Mail Background Stamp. It is picking on one of the photos. But, I still haven't decided how to finish it up. But I will try to show it next time.

Lots of Strips Card with Daria

Hello-hello Awesome People!

Daria here. This morning, I had quite an experiment. I went life over instagram to assemble this card. It was my first experience in life streaming, so I was quite nervous. But, I wanted to share with you the process, so you may find it as an IGTV video. Thanks so much for everyone who could join and support me. For my card, I am using  Grateful Heart stamp and Skinny Strips die set.


I started with die cutting lots of banner shapes with Skinny Strips die set from white, coloured and gold copper cardstock. Paper comes from Over The Rainbow Assorted Cardstock Pack and from Gold metallic cardstock.


I arranged the stripes over a card base and glue some of them with glue tape and some with foam tape. This gives different levels of dimensions.


I stamped the flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp in black and glue its parts over my background. The sentiment is from Butterfly Beauties stamp set, stamped over one of the banners i made earlier.  As a finishing touch, I have added a few sequins in Crystal Clear. 


Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time,
xoxo,
D.

Bouquet Card with Daria Grushina [VIDEO]

Hello-hello Awesome People!

Daria here. Today, I am playing with Heartfelt Thanks stamp and die. I've signed up for Online Card Classes, and although I am not using any of the technique from the class today, it always inspires me to watch other people creating. So, I wanted to create one card and it turned out completely different, but I liked it.  I am big fun of heat embossing, and I am kind of rediscovering it for myself lately. 

I have a video process for you. You may watch down here, or at our YouTube channel:



And some more close-up photos:


I started with heat-embossing. I heat embossed a flower bouquet from Heartfelt Thanks stamp  set in white over craft and over white card-stock.  


Then, I spent some time colouring over heat-embossed image onto white cardstock. For colouring, I scribble some color with watercolour pencil into my image and then go over it with alcohol markers. It gives a nice variation in color and depth. 

When I made a decision about placement, I cut my coloured piece in two and adhered it with foam squares. The sentiment is from Butterfly Beauties stamp set and stamped over a banner shape made with Skinny Strips die setAs a finishing touch, I have added a few sequins in gold. 


Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time,
xoxo,
D.

Vellum Overlay Card with Daria Grushina [VIDEO]


Hello-hello Awesome People!

Daria here. Today, I am playing with Grateful Heart stamp and Delicate Dots Background Stamp. And again I have a very simple to make yet elegant card to share. Moreover, I've managed to film a short video process for you. Hope, you'll like it. Here is it:


And some more close-up photos:



I started with heat-embossing. I used a left-over piece of vellum from previous project and heat-embossed the Delicate Dots Background Stamp in gold embossing powder from Hero Arts over a vellum from the latest Over the Rainbow Assorted Cardstock Pack.



Then, I stamped a flower from Grateful Heart stamp set over my card-base with Versafine Onyx Black. I love this monochromatic pattern, and I actually already made a card using it. If interested, you can check it out here. There is a video too.


Maybe you remember, that I had a left over flower from previous project, so, I've decided to use it today. I coloured the flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp set with alcohol markers in light shades of lilac.  Then I used coordinating die to cut it out. 


As about sentiment, while I was making this card and shooting a video, I thought that these dies are still available. But, unfortunately not :((( I am very about that. But, that is a great chance to look into your stash and find something similar. There were a lot of similar designs at Neat and Tangled over a past few years: Awesome, Amazing, Celebrate, Hooray, You are Pretty, Hello...  Good news, that those coordinating stamp sets are still available and you can get them a super discounted price. Here are the links for Just Because and Love Notes stamp sets.


I finished it up with a few banner shapes made with Skinny Stripes die set, just to add that extra something. I glue everything to the vellum using foam squares behind the flower and sentiment. Then I used Tombow Adhesive tape dispenser behind the flower and banner to overlay my entire vellum piece to the stamped cardbase.


That's it. Hope you like these simple idea and will give it a try.

Light as Butterfly with Daria [VIDEO]

Hello-hello Awesome People,

It is Daria. Here, In Russia, we are all also staying at home and hoping for a soon walk around.

And I've got to say, it is quite a challenge to make a video with a young baby around, but I've managed and very proud of myself (lol). So, it turned out to be a very simple, easy and fast to make card. Hope you'll like it. Here is a short video process for you:


And some more close-up photos:


I really wanted to create an effect off a super light and tender butterfly that flies in and sits on a flower, showing her wings under the sun...


So, I heat-embossed the butterfly from Butterfly Beauties in gold embossing powder from Hero Arts over a vellum from the latest Over the Rainbow Assorted Cardstock Pack.

I coloured the flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp set with alcohol markers in light shades of lilac.  Then I used coordinating dies to cut out both the butterfly and the flowers.


For the background, I've choose Woodgrain Paper. Sentiment is from Butterfly Beauties stamp set stamped over a banner made with Skinny Stripes die set.


That's it. Very simple, yet elegant card to make.
Hope you like these simple idea and will give it a try.

XOXO card with Daria

Hello-hello Awesome People!

Daria here. And for  today's projects I am again playing with Circular stamp and die sets. I think, I simply love the polka-dot pattern. How about you?



So, I randomly stamped the second biggest circle from the Circular stamp set into my card-base with black ink. Then, I die cut lots of circles from coloured and glitter cardstock using Circular die set.
I arranged them onto my card-bases and adhered everything derictly to paper without any foam squares. But foam adhesive could also look interesting as it will add another layer and more dimension for the whole project.


For the sentiment, I used XOXO from one of my favourite sets - Just because stamp set (which is now on Sale!) and You are magnificent from Moon Magic stamp set, which I placed on a banner from Skinny Stripes dies.  



I've also added a little flower from Grateful Heart stamp set for some extra attention to the sentiment. 



Hope you like these simple ideas and will give them a try. 
Love,
D.

Embossed Resist For Christmas and Everyday with Kelly Latevola


Hello Crafters! 

Can you believe Christmas is only two days away! 
TWO DAYS! 

Since the holiday season is upon us I wanted to do a Christmas card but I also wanted to share how you can use a layout you love for the holidays for an everyday card too! 


I really love the Foliage Frame stamp and thought it would be perfect for a tone on tone background. In order to make sure it didn't blend too much into the background I decided on an embossed resist. 
I picked two colors of cardstock as my base and got o work stamping. 


The Foliage Frame stamps the entire front of a A2 sized card. In order to make sure I get it edge to edge I use temporary adhesive to hold me cardstock down inside my MISTI. Once I'm done I just rub it off the foam. 
In order to get smooth results I treated the cardstock with my anti-static bag andthen stamped in clear sticky embossing ink. I heat embossed with clear embossing powder so the true color of the cardstock would be trapped underneath the embossing. 



For my Christmas card I added layers of yellow greens around the center of the carstock getting progressively darker on the outside edges. The darker the ink the better the resist will show through. 
For this card I used shabby shutters, crushed olive, peeled paint, and forest moss. 


I wanted my everyday card to still have a green ish background that would make sense with the leaf frame so I opted for teals. I layered on cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, and pine needles for this one. 

Once the ink blending was done I set my backgrounds aside to copic color my flowers. 


After the coloring was done I die cut both poinsettias out along with the strips for my sentiments. I heat set both sentiments in white embossing powder this time. For the larger words I fussy cut around them so they didn't feel duper blocky.  Everything got popped up on foam and accented with either our Sophisticated Enamel Dots or our Cleat Sequins. 

You can see the entire process in the video below. 
I apologize for the quiet volume but I was having trouble with my audio :/ 


Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
