Hello, everyone! I’m back to show you five different cards that I made using our Layered Floral Alphas.

I started off with a piece of 6x6inch cardstock panel. Then I stamped the grouped layer stamps using a combination of our Dark Roast, Rose Quartz, Soft Garnet, Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline Dye Inks.

**Make sure you clean the bars/squares on your stamp blocks. These will help you align each layer to get perfectly stamped alphas each time you go to use this set.**

I stamped my alphas three times and cut them all out using the coordinating die. Then I partially stamped and cut out the vowels at the top row of my grouped stamps so that I can create additional cards with my leftover alphas. **The coordinating die is available for purchase separately from the stamp bundle. The die does not come with the stamps.**

Next, I stamped a few background panel using our patterned background stamps. I also created stitched panel to pop up on the background panels. On some of the stitched panels, I stamped the leaf cluster from our Fresh Cut Roses set.

Once all my pieces were stamped and cut, I assembled them and popped them all up.

For this card, I added some of our Abstract Peonies to create a clean and simple card. The background stamp is our Fresh Linen stamp.

For this card, I added some images from our Sunny Folk Garden set. The background stamp is our Fresh Linen stamp.

For this card, I added a leaf cluster background to the stitched panel. The leaf cluster is from our Fresh Cut Roses stamp. The background stamp is our Diagonal Stripes stamp.

Here’s a close up look at another card. The florals in this set will be released later this month!

I hope you enjoyed all the projects! Thanks for stopping by and making The Ton a part of your day.

Hello and Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! I hope you’re enjoying the day today! I have a main project and a flash digital release. Be sure to scroll all the way down to see the new goodies! For my project today, I have a watercolored card using our Amazing Gardenia and Beautiful Branches set.

I started off by gold heat embossing the gardenia onto watercolor paper. After I die cut it using the coordinating die (which is still available but once it sells out, we will not be restocking!), I watercolored it using Peony and Sap Green Color Bursts.

Next, I used my electric cutting machine to cut out the shapes of my Beautiful Branches. You can find the SVG download here. **The Beautiful Branches download contains 2 cut files. The first file is the Placement Guide file which cuts out both branches on individual rectangles. You’re going to place these guides into your Misti to easily stamp or emboss your cut pieces.

The second file contains a cut file that only cuts out the shape of the two branches. Cut this file first if you want to stamp/emboss multiple cut pieces easily.

Once all my cutting and embossing was complete, I colored in the floral branch using Orchid and Indigo Color Bursts (and Sap Green and Prussian Blue for the leaves). For the smaller branch, I used Prussian Blue for the buds and Sap Green for the leaves.

Next, I created a 6 inch x 4.25 inch green cardstock panel. I also created a 4 inch x 2.5 inch white panel which I adhered onto the green panel. Then I popped up my gardenia and branches. For my sentiment, I white heat embossed the Mother’s Day sentiment in our Mini Holiday stamp set onto gray cardstock. Once embossed, I trimmed it into a narrow strip and popped it up onto my card. Lastly, I added some Medallion Gold sequins to add some a metallic details. I tucked some sequins behind my florals for more interest!

I hope you enjoyed this project! Let’s move on to see the new digital release! **No physical product will be shipped with our digital items**

For our first cut file, we have our layered Peony Coverplate download!

For this download, you’ll receive one SVG file that contains three layerable A2 cutting coverplates. Cut the layers out using different colored cardstock to create a beautifully layered peony!

For our next digital item, we have our layerable Floral Bud coverplate file. This download contains one file that has two cutting coverplate images that you can layer together.

Next, we have our Floral Mom Coverplate file! This download contains one SVG cut file to create an A2 sized cut.

Lastly, we have our Basic Roses SVG file. Cut out these floral elements to create embellishments for your paper crafts!

We also have a Mother’s Day promo. Use this code for 30% off your purchase. Exclusions apply. Promo ends on Monday, May 13 at 11:59pm!

That’s all from me today! I hope you enjoyed today’s post and flash digital release! Happy Mother’s Day!

Hugs,

Hi, everyone! Today, I have this bright and busy card for you created using our Happy Place stamps. If you’re following us on IG, I did say that I had another card for today but I changed my mind because I fell in love with this project. The blue Smiling Cosmos project peek that you got yesterday will be posted tomorrow on our Youtube Channel (so stay tuned!).

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

This card was a bit involved with all the different products used. However, it was really fun to make and I love the bright results. Also, this was a great project to showcase how to stretch your Happy Place stamps! You can just partially ink/emboss the large image from this set to selectively use the florals. I’m a sucker for peonies so this was a no brainer.

I started off by selectively embossing the florals from the large image from this set. I used our Rose Gold Embossing Powder for this. Next I watercolored the peonies using Peony Color Bursts (and Sap Green for the leaves). Once colored, I die cut the florals and then trimmed off the book portions.

Next, I stamped a Toned Hearts panel using our Peony Collection layering inks. Then I die cut a rectangular stitched panel using the third largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small die collection. This is going to be my sentiment panel. I did not film any of this for time purposes.

Next, I rose gold embossed the sentiment from our Hustle and Grind set onto my stitched panel. Then I popped this panel up on my Toned Hearts background as well as my peony clusters. For an additional pop up color, I stamped and copic colored three butterflies from our Beautiful Butterflies 3 set and popped those up on my card in a visual triangle. Lastly (for the card front), I added some of our Glass Slippers sequins for a bling effect.

Since I added our Beautiful Butterflies 3 to this card, I also decided to add our a Morpho Pop Up Butterfly inside my card for that wow effect. I die cut my two detailed wing pieces onto white cardstock. Then I blended some Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline Dye Ink to the wings. Once assembled, I adhered the two pieces to the inside of my card completing my project.

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s post! It was a bit more busier than my usual style but I love the results. I hope you guys did, too!

Hello and welcome back to The Season!! Today, I have a card created using our Today’s Cosmos and some leftover die cut sentiments from a previous project.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

I started off by white heat embossing all of the images from our Today’s Cosmos. The florals in this set are larger than our usual stamps so I really love working with them (especially with watercolor). After everything was embossed, I watercolored the florals using Fuchsia and Merlot Color Bursts. For the leaves, I used Pthalo Green Color Bursts. Once painted, I die cut all the images using their coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut our Geometric Circle Coverplate die onto a white A2 card panel which I adhered onto an top folding A2 base for a white tone on tone effect. Next I popped up each individual letter from my leftover “beautiful” die cut sentiment. These die cuts were leftover from this project. Head over to the link to see how I created them.

Next, I die cut the “you’re” sentiment which is from a die from our Sweetheart Wordplate Die Collection and blended some Lipstick Red Dye ink onto it.

Next, I assembled and popped up all my florals and leaves with some foam tape. Then I added the “you’re” sentiment with a double layer of foam tape. Lastly, I added some Glass Slippers Sequins for some shiny bling!

That’s all from me today! Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello and welcome back, everyone! Today, I have a video and card using our Peony Close Up and Color Bursts. I’m not doing my traditional watercolor painting today. Instead, I’ll be squeezing the powder directly onto my project!

I started off by white heat embossing the stamp onto an A2 sized watercolor paper panel. Then I wet the entire panel with clean water using a spray bottle.

Next, I started squeezing Color Burst pigments directly onto the wet image. I started with Fuchsia, Gamboge and then Pthalo Green. I saturated the paper enough where I did not have to use my water brush that often to control where the pigment went. I let the pigments move more naturally on my project. Whenever there was an accumulation of too much water, I just dabbed it up with a paper towel. Once my panel was “painted”, I dried it with a heat gun.

Before I die cut my sentiment, I added stitching to the edges of my panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles (Large) Die collection. Next, I used our new Sweetheart Wordplate Die collection to create my sentiment for this project. I die cut the “beautiful” directly onto my watercolor panel. Then I die cut the “you’re” on white cardstock.

Next, I adhered my peony panel onto a side folding A2 card base using our strong Double Sided Adhesive. Lastly, I added the “you’re” directly onto the panel completing my project.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hey, everyone! I’m back with another card and video using our new and fabbbbbulous Power Pumps set!!

I started off by gold glitter embossing our Glass Windows cling stamp onto black cardstock. Next, I stamped our lone Power Pump onto white cardstock using a combination of our layering inks:

1. Smoky Quartz + Crystal Pewter for the first layer
2. Caviar Hybrid Ink for the second dark layer
3. Red Sangria Hybrid for the heel
4. Combination of Vanilla Frosted Cupcake, Beach Blondie, Peach Blossom and Warm Hazelnut for the inside of the shoe

Once my shoe was all stamped out, I die cut it with it’s coordinating die. Then I created a smaller white rectangular panel which I blended some Bright Emerald Dye ink onto. This is going to give my pump a nice glow to emphasize it. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the same set with our Caviar ink.

Then I started assembling my card since all my stamping was complete. I had trimmed my glass windows panel a little bit in the beginning so I mounted that onto a side folding A2 base. Then I adhered the white emerald blended panel onto the base with dimensional foam tape. Next, I mounted the pump using more foam tape and finally added some Glossy Black sequins around the sentiment to complete my card.

How fabulous is this card? I love the clean and chic finish that the Glass Windows background gives to the project.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!
