Hello everyone, today I’m stopping by to formally send off our team member, Lisa.

Lisa is stepping down from our team for personal reasons and we are sad to see her go. We wish her all the best of luck in everything and we hope to see her around soon!

Hello everyone! It’s Anna here with two cards I made using Large Dahlia 2 stamp set, Nesting Peonies stamps and Geo Mountain Coverplate C, Geo Mountain Coverplate B dies.
Here is my first card.

To create this card, I started by stamping images (beautiful flower and leaves) from Large Dahlia 2 with Versamark ink onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed them in Rose Gold. I colored these using Holbein watercolors and fussy cut them all.

Next, I adhered these to the watercolor background and stamped the sentiment from Perfect Fit Sentiments. To embellishe the card, I used Nuvo Glitter Drops – White Blizzard.

To make my second card I stamped images from Nesting Peonies  in Caviar, colored them all with Copic markers and cut out using Nesting Peonies Coordinating Dies. I created the background with Geo Mountain Coverplate C and Geo Mountain Coverplate B dies.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment was stamped on a strip of a black cardstock with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.

That’s all from me today ! Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!

Hello, it’s Lisa here.  I’m stopping by The Ton blog today to share a few cards I made with you.   Today I’m working with The Ton’s super cute Heart Jigsaw dies.   Have you seen them?   The Ton has two Heart Jigsaw dies that are sold separately.  They are the same size but the designs are a little different. One has puzzle pieces that are in a stitched design and the other actually cuts out each individual puzzle piece.  Today I’m using both!

Card #1 –  I used the following supplies from The Ton shop:

• Perfect Fit Sentiment stamp set
• Bokeh Burst Round stamp set
• Heart Jigsaw Stitched Version die
• Double Stitched Rectangles (Large) dies
• Inks: Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star, Cosmopolitan Pink, Hampton White Pigment, Noir.
• I also used:  Pink Bokeh Couture Mix, Bright Diamond Seed Beads,  Ranger White embossing powder

I decided to make a shaker card by first creating a bokeh background using The Ton’s Boke Burst Round stamp set.    This is such a fun stamping technique that involves stamping different sized circles in many different shades of color.   The more you overlap the circles, the more depth you will create in your background.  I used three different shades of pink and then I stamped some circles on top with  Hampton White Pigment Ink for a soft, dreamy affect.

After stamping, I diecut a stitched rectangle frame and then a heart from the middle.

I used a clear piece of transparency film and dimensional tape to create the shaker frame for this card.   The white card base is stamped with the large bokeh stamp.   I filled the shaker with some of The Ton’s Couture Mixes and adhered the frame.  I glued the heart on the outside of the shaker and added an embossed sentiment.

 

Card #2 – I used the following supplies from The Ton Shop:

• Bokeh Burst Round stamps and dies
• Heart Jigsaw Stitched Version die
• Double Stitched Rectangles (Large) dies
• Inks: Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star, Cosmopolitan Pink, Dark Roast, Hampton White Pigment.
• I also used:  Pink Bokeh Couture Mix, Ranger White embossing powder.

I simply created this card using the leftover pieces of the bokeh background from the first card.

This is a faux shaker card where I just glued the sequin mix directly into the heart.  No clear window was needed.  I love that the heart dies also cut out a thin frame around the heart.

 

Card #3 – I used the following supplies from The Ton shop:

• Perfect Fit Sentiments stamp set
• Wild Dahlias stamps and coordinating dies
• Haute Stripes Cling Background stamp
• Heart Jigsaw Cut Version die
• Double Stitched Rectangles (Large) dies
• Inks: Lofty Mint, Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star, Cosmopolitan Pink, Noir
• I also used:  Misty Mint Couture Mix

I created the heart on this card by using the Heart Jigsaw Cut Version die.  You can see here the difference in the heart dies.  The cut version is an actual puzzle!  Each individual piece cuts out and can be assembled piece by piece.   Here I cut the heart out of a gingham background that I created using The Ton’s Haute Stripes Cling Background.

I stamped three pretty layered Wild Dahlias for a pop of color against the Lofty Mint.

 

Card #4 – I used the following supplies from The Ton shop:

• Hug in a Mug stamps and coordinating dies
• Haute Stripes Cling Background
• Bold General Greeting Word Plate dies
• Double Stitched Rectangle (Large) dies
• Inks: Lofty Mint, Spiced Chai, Soft Garnet, Caviar.
• I also used:  Glass Slippers Mix

For my final card today I strayed away from the hearts and just made a fun card for a special, tea loving friend of mine.  I started out by making another “gingham” background using that fabulous Haute Stripes Cling Background.    I stamped out teapot and cups using The Ton’s Copic friendly Caviar ink.  To make a lighter shade for the tea I stamped off the Spiced Chai ink on a piece of scrap paper once, then stamped in the cup.  I love the soft affect.  I colored the teapot and cup handles with Copic markers.

I made the tea pot a little more dimensional by stamping and coloring an extra lid.  Then I cut it out and popped it up with some dimensional tape.  I wrapped white embroidery floss around it and added a little tag for the tea bag.

Well, that’s all for me today.  And friends, I’m sad to say this will be my last posting here at the The Ton.    I’ll be stepping away from the design team due to some personal issues that need my attention at this time.  I have truly enjoyed every minute I’ve spent working here with Effie, her beautiful creations and all the ladies on The Ton’s fabulous design team.   My thanks to Effie for giving me this opportunity to play along with all of you here at The Ton.  I’ll see you around…..I promise!

Until then…….happy stamping!

Hi there!! Brenda, here with you today!!! I tend to lean toward pinks and purples for florals in the spring. That’s what I’m attracted to when selecting flowers at the nursery also. However, last week I chose some stunning red, orange & yellow dahlias for some containers in my backyard. I have three cards to share today that are inspired by those dahlias. They are all paired with a black and white stripe for a colorful, graphic feel.

The first card uses the stunning Large Dahlia 1. I began by stamping the large flower and the pair of leaves, along with the trio of leaves from the Large Dahlia 2, with Versamark and embossing with white embossing powder. I selected three colors of Tombow markers for the flowers and two for the leaves, and used them to watercolor the images. I added some additional depth and dimension with colored pencils, then cut them out with the Large Dahlia 1 & Large Dahlia 2 Coordinating Dies. The Minor Stripes Cling Background Stamp was used with Noir Ink on white cardstock. I cut a banner shape from the striped cardstock. I chose a cardstock that complemented my flower nicely, and trimmed it slightly to allow a thin mat of the white card base to show. The banner and leaves were adhered flat to the panel, while the dahlia was popped up with foam adhesive. The sentiment, from Wishful Rose, was heat embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock. A generous scattering of Waltz White Sequins finished off the card.

Here is the second card…

This one uses the Large Dahlia 2 floral and trio of leaves images with the duo of leaves from the Large Dahlia 1 set. The Large Dahlia 2 & Large Dahlia 1 Coordinating Dies were used.  This time I cut a strip from the black & white striped cardstock and adhered it to the left side of my card. Sequin mix and sentiment from the same as above.

Finally, the third card…

This one was created in pretty much to same way as the last two. This time the Large Dahlia 3 & Coordinating Dies were used. I added narrow strips of the black & white striped cardstock to each side of the card base. The Couture Mix and sentiment are from the same as the first two cards.

I LOVE the way these turned out!! I don’t think the colors will replace my beloved pink and purple, but it was nice to step out of my comfort zone!! How about you…do you have particular colors that you always gravitate towards in the spring?

Hello everyone! Olga with you today! I`m on vacation now! I was in big hurry before my trip and I made this cards pretty quickly, so you decide, did I succeed or not 🙂

I used Geo Mountains Coverplate B Die for the background of my first card. I glued the felling at an angle to the base. Than I stamped XOXO (XoXo Mini Set ) on black cardstock with Watermark ink and applied hot embossing with Gold Powder. 

I stamped “love you” of  Perfect Fit Sentiment with Noir Dye.

I used Geo Mountain Coverplate A for the background of my next card. I cut it on blue cardstock and glued on the base. Than I stamped Nesting Peonies on cardstock with Noir Dye and colored it. I stamped the title of Perfect Fit Sentiment on black cardstock with Watermark ink and applied hot embossing with White Powder. 

Thank you for your attention, have a nice day!
