Reverse Confetti/ Party Animal

Hello Friends! I am here with this fun and funky card with Reverse Confetti stamps! Over my time as a cardmaker I have found many companies I love... the most recent one I love is Reverse Confetti... I just love their cute and abstract critters! they are so much fun to create with!

I created this card for their current sketch challenge at their blog! I have the most recent stamps and now I want them all! for this card I used Oxide Inks for the background with a mix of normal dye inks I first smooshed the dye ink color to my card base and after that I smooshed Peeled Paint oxide ink to create the (in my view) prehistoric background! I color the dino with markers and I just follow the sketch to create the rest of the elements!

What do you think cute enough.... 

Holy Guacamole New Mom/Krumspring Stamps

Hello Friends Waleska here with a set of very funny, encouraging and cute cards, because ALL moms need to feel loved sometimes. (ALWAYS).  I love to check out new stamp companies, I have some of my friends on the  Krumspring Stamps  design team and I have been wanting this set for so long they are awesome and unique.  The Butterfly Reflections ink shop is now carrying them so I was so happy to add this cute stamps to my stash!

CARD DETAILS: I started with the backgrounds, I made a heart shape mask with a Heart Die and Stick It Adhesive Sheets.  I used Lawn Fawn inks in colors Merman and Ballet Slippers for the inside part of the heart I blend the two colors with an Ink Blending Tool.

I arrange and stamped the Avocado Family to the front part of the cards because I wanted the little hands to be stamped in different layers.  I wanted to give this cards some texture and I used Embossing Folders to create that.

I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink all the images and colored them with markers.

I hand cut all the cute avocados and place them on the card with Foam Mounting Tape, I color the outside of the card with the same green marker I used for the images.

I finally use Nuvo Drops Apple Green Bubblegum Blush and Caribean Ocean as embellishments. I added the sentiments with the Die-namics Stitched Sentiment Strips. 

I hope you have a wonderful day and can be inspired to make some Mom cards!

Party Hats!

Hello Friends! Today I am inspired by the Ellen Hutson Challenge at the ClassRoom blog to create a very festive card! I love to participate on challenges because the inspiration always gives me lots of ideas of what I want to create! 

The inspiration:

CARD DETAILS:

This is my second entry to this challenge, I made this card because I found this cute little colorful pom pom balls that remind me of the hats on the inspiration photo! I use them on the party hat stamp that comes in the Bear Ware by Julie stamp set... they look almost like the ones on the inspiration! I leave the card very simple because the pom poms already have lots of dimension, the hello gorgeous sentiment from the Hello Gorgeous by Julie goes perfect with my card.

I hope you have a great week and have fun creating!

Vellum + Oxide Inks = Marble Effect

Hello Friends today I want to share with you a very cool technique with Oxide Inks and Vellum to create the look of Marble, it looks awesome!

CARD DETAILS: 

I started with two Vellum pieces (you will need a thick vellum for this technique), I first put a little of  Broken China in my Ranger Mat and I added a little bit of water (you want the ink to the thick), and smooshed the Vellum into the Oxide Ink (I did not add more water to the piece) I only added the oxide ink and dry it with a heat gun, I did the same thing with the Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio inks in the parts I thought it needed.  When I finally got the look I wanted... "this next step is important" I flip the vellum piece and used the back of it for my card.  It looks great just like marble.

I used one of the vellum pieces for my card base and one to stamp the flowers from the beautiful Alternew Adore You Stamp Set. I stamped most of the flowers in the set with VersaMark ink and added Gold Embossing Powder.  I hand cut them and ended with lots of flowers to work with.

I  assemble the cards with the beautiful flowers and added the Postage Stamp Elle-ments die in black cardstock to frame both cards.  For the sentiment I used  MFT Label Maker Sentiments Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I finally added Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, this cards look so elegant that you can use them for many occasions. Here are some closer looks to the cards.  Oxide inks are very vibrant, but with this technique you can get a more soft look to them.

I hope you enjoyed my little technique and can give it a try, thank you so much for stopping by today have a wonderful day!!!

Monster Carnival

Hello Friends Waleska here with a very fun and colorful card! The cute Monsters from the Monster Carnival set are so much fun and can be used for many occasions, can color them however you want...I love to use them in my cards!

CARD DETAILS:

I with a top folding card, I score a line in the center of the front panel to create another fold in the middle for a fun card design, I learned this fun design from the great Jennifer Mcguire. 

After that I die cut the Ferris Wheel die from gray cardstock, and for the rest of the elements I used red and aqua cardstock, I also used a brad so that the Ferris Wheel can move (how fun is that).  I then color the half front panel with yellow ink and for the back of the card I used a sun rays stencil with red ink.

I color my favorite monster from the 8 monsters that this stamp set has with markers in the same color combination of yellow red and aqua.  To embellish the card I added Nuvo drops in color

caribbean ocean and CDD Fall Harvest Sequins.  I stamp the fun sentiment inside the card for a surprise!

I hope you liked my card and be inspired to use different folds in your cards for a more fun effects!

Have a great day!

Slider Cards

Hello Friends Waleska here with another Summer Card for you, I love the Flamingo Floatie Stamp Set from Neat and Tangled, in the minute I saw this cute girl I knew I needed to use it on a Pool Party Summer Card.   

CARD DETAILS:

I wanted to create a pool background for the girl to be floating, so I found this technique in youtube let me share it with you because in my opinion it makes a very cool water look.

I started with a background fully colored with Distress Oxide Ink Peacock Feathers (which is my new favorite) after that I used a crumpled ball of Aluminium Foil I sprayed with water and pat down the paper with it to add the water texture to the background, and dry it with a Heat Tool.

I did the second background with two of my favorite Oxide Ink summer colors Fossilized Amber and Worn Lipstick (this two blend so well together) I created the slider elements with the lawn fawn slide over dies and double Scotch Foam Mounting Tape. I color the cute girl with markers and added the water splashes in the same color as the water.

This cards were so much fun to create, I hope you give the water effect idea a try!
