Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Here's what you can make with some stamp sets + ink pads...

I used the same design & stamps (background + main image + sentiment) for these 2 cards:

But for the card above, only 1 ink pad was used, and the card below has 3 different colors (magenta is CTMH Wild Berry ink pad).

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I haven't played with Stencils and Spray Inks for a while...time for a change from cards...

I started with Card Front Stencil Pack 2 + Ranger Opaque Matte Texture Paste. Then, I sprayed 3 different colors + water to spread the colors around the art journal page. I stamped the lady (Finnabair - Dare to Dream/Prima) on cardstock and fussy cut her out, colored with markers and paint and adhered on page. I brushed diluted dye ink on some stenciled flowers and drew a "skirt". Then, I stamped texture (CTMH Perfectly Imperfect Patterns Stamp Set) + sentiment on with ink pads.

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A few Fun-Fold Cards using die cuts from my stash...

A masculine Easel Card: clocks from Artiste CTMH Cricut digital image set + circles metal die cuts + stamps (CTMH) + pp with a hand-drawn border.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made some cards with the Heat Embossing technique - one of my favorites.

I heat embossed Hero Arts pot (in gold) and succulent (in silver), watercolored them with diluted dye inks, and fussy cut them. I die cut and dry embossed a panel, stamped a sentiment and added some metallic paint. Then, adhered the panel on card base, and stamped images on with Foam Tape.

Tip: Use Heat Embossing to cover up mistakes (or patterns you don't like)...lol!

Not going to lie...I die cut the "gloves", dry embossed and colored them with alcohol-based markers, but did not like the end result, so I heat embossed them in gold and silver! Then just layered some scrap papers, stamped a sentiment and added a ScanNCut heart with Foam Tape.
