Creating Cards To Show Our Love | HandmadeByTasha

 Hey crafty people!



It's Tasha here with some inspiration that is for all things love! It's already February, and this month we usually celebrate our love, but that can be any type of love, it all deserves celebrating! So I am here to offer inspiration for three cards who could each be for a different love in your life; partner, mother, child, friend or anyone else you want to bring a smile to.




I started with the background, which I stamped using Lace Pattern; I used Lead Grey ink to stamp this onto an a2 panel of grey cardstock for a subtle tone on tone look. I decided to give the card a vignette sort of style by also blending some of the grey ink around the edges, fading into the lighter cardstock colour in the centre. This all just gives the background interest & texture.

I stamped out the couple from Couple Hugs onto some Neenah 80lb and coloured them both in with Copic markers, then fussy cut them right up to the stamped line. To avoid the white inner core of the paper showing I ran my Memento black water based marker around all of the exposed edges.

I took this gorgeous black & red patterned paper from the DIY Papercraft Kit and cut it with a decorative die; I glued my couple onto it, then I stuck this whole piece on the upper half of my card panel.


I stamped my sentiment in Jet Black Ink, but I felt that the white of the sentiment strip was too stark against the rest of the design, so I just added a little bit of ink; I just used the ink left over on my blending brush after making the background.

I stamped some of the hearts from the same stamp set in Imperial Red ink and fussy cut these. I decided to add a little shade onto the bottom of each heart, and then I glued these, along with some of the heart pieces from the embellishment mix included in the kit across my panel.



I absolutely adore this stamp, Love Moon; my family say this to each other all the time, so I thought this would make a brilliant card to give to my daughter.

The image & sentiment come together as one whole stamp, so I used my MISTI to stamp it onto some more Neenah 80lb in Jet Black Ink. I coloured this one really simply with Copic markers too, and I decided to add some blue into the background with one of my Copics.

I was looking through the paper pad included in the kit for a paper that I could mat this image onto and I had got it down to a choice of three, so I asked my husband for his opinion on which worked best; he pointed to this one and commented that it looked almost like the surface of the moon, so that was my choice made 100%!

I cut both using some nesting dies to allow an even border all the way round, and to give some additional interest on my card design.

I popped the panels up onto each other with foam adhesive for dimension and added some of the hearts from the embellishment pack.

I also added some Nuvo Glaze to the window of the space ship, just as a fun little extra.





I’ve got quite a lot of patterned paper scraps left over from the cards that I’ve made with the DIY Papercraft Kit and I wanted to make use of them, so I grabbed the smallest two dies of the nesting set I used for my last card. I wanted to get several pairs of die cuts, so that I could have a smaller one on top of a larger one. I matched pairs so that I had contrasting patterns for each.

I glued the pairs of die cuts onto a piece of printer paper, interlocking each one together to make one solid piece. Then I could add foam adhesive onto the back of that, before putting it onto my background panel.

I used some of the Chocolate Brown ink to create a similar vignette effect as I used in the first card on a piece of Buff cardstock, then I stamped my sentiment from the Couple Hugs stamp set, using the same, and I trimmed it down then popped it up on foam adhesive too.

I used some of the gold hearts from the embellishment mix to add some sparkle and interest.

I think this would be a lovely way of sending a socially distanced hug to a dear friend!



I hope that you enjoyed the cards that I have for you today, and if you are feeling inspired to create something similar then please do share it with us by tagging both myself, @handmadebytasha13 and @tubby_craft

 

I hope you have a wonderful, happy week!

Stay crafty!!!

Byeee!

Two amazing anniversary cards by Anushree

Hi Everyone !! Hope you all are doing good and crafting too. I have two cards for today. I have highlighted  different techniques for each card. Onto my first card, I have tried showcasing repeated stamping in a border style . I have used Plumeria Florals stamp set and Jet Black dye ink from Tubby craft to stamp the border first. Next I chose Imperial Red and Lead gray dye inks from Tubby Craft to color my florals. Sentiment is a die cut on Gold card stock and the card is embellished in gold peals. For border,I have adhered Gold border die cut to enhance the card on a black cardstock. Now onto my second card, I am using Checkered Stencil for the background .I have used rainbow colors from Tubby Craft Dye ink collection to put them on paper using blending brushes. I masked the center with a circle die cut before applying inks to the card base. Once stenciled background is ready,I removed the mask and stamped sentiment from...
