Encouragement cards by Swati

Hi Guys,

I have 2 fun and adorable cards for you guys today.
I made those on account of International Women’s Day that was on 8th March.

Sharing the step-by-step tutorial to make these fun and colourful cards. Gift these cards to someone and light up there day! :)

Card 1:

1. Cut a card base in the shape of a tag using any white 300GSM card stock. I have used a Sizzix Tag die here.

2. Using some paper tape I masked the edges of the tag and then placed Tubby craft stencil no.18 on top of it. 

I used finger dauber to colour the flowers in the stencil. 

I have used Tubby craft inks in color Lawn Green, Turquoise, Hot pink, Lemon Yellow, Lilac Purple and Imperial Red.

3. Once the inks dry, I used some Black Tonic Studio Nuvo drop to add a dot in the centre of each flower. 

4. Then I stamp the floral image from Tubby craft Floral Invitation stamp set on to a Watercolor paper using some waterproof ink. 

5. I coloured the stamped image using some Watercolor and then fussy cut it.

6. To stamp my sentiment, I used some Watercolor and create a gradient background and then cut a small piece in Oval shape. I also used 2 oval dies to cut out a small border from a blue cardstock.

7. I then stamped the Sentiment “Don’t forget to be awesome” from Tubby craft Camelia Layered Flower on the Watercolor oval shape that we have cut earlier.

8.Now It’s time to assemble the card. 

9. I use some glue to stick the floral image on the top left corner and the used a foam tape to stick the stamped sentiment oval cardstock. 

10. I then tied a string to the tag and finished the card.

Card 2:

Alcohol inks are my favourite medium to work with. They can be used in so many ways on your projects.

Sharing step-by-step tutorial of one such card I made using Beyond Inks Alcohol inks.

1. Create a card base of size 4”*5.5” using a white cardstock.

2. To create the card front, cut a Yupo paper (300 Micron) in size 3.75”*5.25”.

3. Using Beyond ink alcohol ink in Sky and Lime colour to create an Ocean themed background. Used some Blending solution to create the bubbles in the background.

4.  I then used an oval die to to cut out a centre. Then I used one size small oval die and trimmed the die cut piece to make it smaller. 

5. I stamped the Pearl image from Tubby craft ‘Precious Treasure’ stamp set using some Embossing ink on to a Watercolor paper. I used Sparkle Embossing powder and heat embossed the image.

6. I did the same heat embossing procedure with the Star fish image from the same stamp set.

7. Then I coloured both the images using some Shimmer Watercolor and then fussy cut them.

8. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a strip of Watercolor paper using Tubby craft black ink.

9. It’s time to assemble the card now.

10. I glued the centre oval piece on the card base and then used foam tape to stick the rest of the card front. 

11. I used globe to stick the fussy cut images and sentiment on the card then.

12. To finish the card I used some clear Nuvo drops as if they were bubbles. Here is a close image.

I hope you enjoyed the cards and the tutorial.
