Up, Up and Away Card

Hi There and Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today's post is a fun kids card.

For this card I stamped the cat and balloons and masked them off before I stamped the clouds and inked the rest with coordinating ink.

Then I went back and added Glossy Accents to the balloons to give them a little dimension and shine.

Kids Rocker card

Welcome to my little space on the blog sphere!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today is a fun post for a kids card.

I haven;t made a rocker card in ages but when I saw this stamp I knew I had to use it for a rocker card.

I used the metal die as a sort of mask to ink the edges and leave a nice border. 

I used a paw stamp to coordinate the envelope to match the card front. here is the rocker card in action.

This is the back where I stamped a simple Hello sentiment and left room for a more personal message.

You can see the products I used listed below for this project.

Christmas Accordion Tag card

Hello! I hope your day is going well and welcome to All Things Beautiful. 

Today's post is a masculine fancy fold card using a winter theme. This fold is called a Accordion Tag fold card. You can find the tutorial on how to make this card under my tutorial tab here.

For this card you make a long accordion folded piece of cardstock in which you can hand write or stamp messages/images.

 I alternated patterned paper and blank cardstock pieces for stamping

I also coordinated theinside of the card to match the card front and envelope.

Be Truely Glad

Hi There!

I hope your week is going well.

Today's post features masking and stenciling with inks

I have Youtube tutorials links under my tutorial tab for both techniques. You can find them here.

For this card i masked off a circle of the white cardstock and then covered it with my stencil to ink.

I also inked the envelope using the same stencil and distress inks.

I cut down the card front panel and used the scraps as embellishments for the inside. I also stenciled the inside of the card with a pale gray ink just for a softer effect.

Bleaching Birthday

Hello There! 

I am so happy you've stopped by for a visit to All Things Beautiful.

In today's post my card uses the bleaching technique.

If you haven't tried it yet and want to, you can find a link to a video tutorial under my tutorial tab.

With the bleaching technique, depending on the type of cardstock you use you will achieve a variety of looks.

Here is a close up of the bleaching on the stamped flowers. The bleach revealed this wonderful teal color. 

Here I continued the turquoise and navy blue flower design on the inside of my card. As well as stamping the envelope to match.

Kids Swing/Flip Flop card

Hi There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I am so glad you stopped by for a visit.

Today's post is a Swing or Flip Flop card.  You can find the link to the tutorial I used under my tutorial tab or by clicking here. It's been quite a while since I've made this type of fun fold  card and there are so many variations. I have linked several tutorials utilizing some of the variations in the tutorial section of my blog.

For today's card I chose to make a kids themed design. I haven't colored with my Copic markers in a while and I just really enjoyed coloring the image on this card. I am not a Copic expert but I do enjoy the results I get form these artist quality, alcohol ink markers.  I also included a small embellishment (Card Candy) I created in the lower left hand corner. You can find a tutorial on how to make your own card candy embellishments under my tutorial tab using the link I provided above.

Here is  a view of the card as it is being opened, you can see the center image begin to flip. I chose to also stamp the card base, front and back with a simple wood grain background stamp just to give the card some interest and keep the design cohesive. 

The back panel of the card when the image flips over is just stamped with a simple sentiment with plenty of room for a personalized handwritten note.

Sentiment Focused-Good Friends

Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 So glad you stopped by for a visit today! 

Continuing with  my 2018 goal of coordinating my card front, inside and envelope I  am showcasing a card using the same ink pattern and stencil.

You can see in the picture that I used the stencil on only the back envelope flap this time.

Although my card looks to have a rainbow effect I actually only used 4 colors of distress ink. 

Distress inks work wonderfully like that with blending.

Here is the inside of the card. I started with the inks and blended upward, heavier at the bottom and lightly as I worked upward.
