Hello Crafters,
I am super excited today as I get to Guest Design for an Amazing company called Mighty Hands. This is a faith based Christian company and make they make some really beautiful stamps with amazing sentiments. When Julie the owner of this company asked me if I should Guest Design for them, I was over the moon happy. For todays cards I used one stamp to make alll the five cards. The stamp set I used is "Called to Create" from Mighty Hands. This stamp is all about creativity and a reminder that we are all blessed with many different talents and we are all called to create and share them with love. and kindness.
Card No1- For the first card I drew an out line of a square using a pencil and a square die. I then masked of the outer edges of the square and stamped the smaller images from the stamp set using versafine black ink as I used Zig Clean Color Markers to color them, I also used Bristol smooth paper to stamp on as I find this the best for these markers. After I had finished coloring all the images I cut the square leaving an 8th of an inch on all sides. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a black card stock using SSS white embossing powder.The sentiment was adhered to the side of the colored panel and them it was popped up with foam tape. I added some jewels from Prety Pink Posh and then it was done.
Card No2- I cut a small heart from the SSS Nesting heart dies set directly onto the from of a top folding white note card in the bottom right. I stamped and embossed the bulb with versafine black ink and clear embossing powder onto a bristol smooth cardstock. I colored the bulb with Zig Colors and fussy cut them leaving a white border around it. I also doe cut a larger heart on a designer paper which I adhered to the inside of the note card. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on black with white embossing power and adhered the bulb on the edge of the black strip . I foam mounted the sentiment and the bulb i the bottom of the heart. Make are to put the adhesive only in the bottom of the black strip so it is not visible through the window when you open the card.
Card No3- For this card I started of by stenciling a pattern using a Stencil from Altenew called Feeling Dottty with Peacock Feather distress oxide ink. I inked the stencil from the center of the cardstock and faded it outward. This is a one layer top folding card. I steed the large sentiment directly on the stenciled background using black ink. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the color palette and the paint brush, which I popped up at the bottom corner of the sentiment . Added a few gem stones and this card was done. Super easy right!!!!
Card No4- I loved the sentiment on this card and I wanted to keep it as the focus, i stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder on a red card stock. I used a heart die to cut the sentiment. I also colored and fussy cut 6 heart shaped color palettes and a paint brush. For the background, I started by blending Festive Berries distress oxide ink from dark to light. I then played the Falling Heart stencil from SSS and inked iy up with the same distress oxide ink with heavy hand. This gave a subtle tone on tone heart pattern for a background. I adhered the sentiment heart in the center and the remains smaller hearts cascading down form the left to the right corner. I also added some heart gems and white dots using a white gel pen and then mounted this panel onto a side folding white note card.
Card No5: I cut a white card stock to 33/4x5 inches and stenciled the rays using Ranger Layering Rays stencil with Wild Honey distress ink. i cleaned the stencil and laid it back on the same spot and blended embossing ink so I could add White Satin Pearl embossing powder from Hero Arts. This added a nice shimmer to the rays . I sale splattered some gold paint to add more texture, The bulb was stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder and fussy cut. I adhered an action wobble behind the build and adhered it to the center of the rays. The sentiment, rather the verse was stamped with black ink directly at the bottom of the bulb, I also added some yellow gem stones and then the card was done.
