 I made a small tutorial for you to use if you want to make a similar card or just to understand the techniques I used to make this card.

1. Die cut the A2 card from Kraft and white cardstocks. Die cut the circle as shown inside the white card front.

2.Arrange the white part over the Kraft and stamp balloons inside the circle as shown. Use VersaMark ink and black embossing powder.Do not glue it one over another yet.

3.Die cut the Kraft cardstock box.Stamp the  balloon's strings over the box top using some masking. We need to show the strings going out of the box.

Glue the box as shown over the Kraft front.

4.Heat emboss the die cut circle and the white front edges with red embossing powder. Glue the circle and the white front over the Kraft base.

Stamp the sentiment on the bottom with the same red embossing powder.Paint the balloons with acrylic paints.

Add brushable glue over the balloons and  sprinkle Diamond Dust and Cloud Nine glitters as shown. Add more texture over the white cardstock using gel medium over dotted stencil and sprinkle Cloud Nine glitter over it. Let it dry.

 I hope that you like my card and my tutorial.
See you next month with another gorgeous SNS new release!

Congratulations with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Magenta blog post!
Today  I decided to make something a bit different and to show you that I can make pretty and quite simple cards and not Mixed Media projects only.

This square card was made with a few unbranded basic dies, three Magenta stamps and one Magenta new stencil.

The stencil was applied using so called circle template I made with the same circle die, so the texture part is just inside the circle. 

I used texture paste and then embossing glitter over the texture.

Then the box was die cut from Kraft cardstock and butterflies in two sizes were stamps, heat embossed and colored with watercolor markers.

The butterflies were hand cut and added with 3d foam glue and you can see the texture and the layers on this photo.

The sentiment was stamped in this not so perfect way, but I decided that I like it with these extras even more (as I am primary a Mixed Media artist I never looks for the stamping perfection... LOL).

This is a very general card that fits a lot of occasions and very easy to make.

Actually you don't really need all these dies at all. Look at the box die cut shape and just copy your own!

Congratulations card with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Magenta post.
This time I decided to make a pretty simple card. Usually I am more of a Mixed Media artist, but most of the crafters are card makers, so it's obligatory to show the way of doing Magenta cards here and there, even when it's mostly not your usual style.

This card was made over Kraft cardstock with a thin layer of Magenta Spring Tapestry patterned cardstock as one of the layers to add some color contrast to the bare Kraft color.
The background was made with two Magenta stamps that were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with bright white embossing powder.
 The large stamp is the main image and the branches around the card were added as the filler for the background.
The I made a kind of paper piecing technique using the very same patterned paper as the stamping paper, but I made it with two layers of paper piecing for the larger flower.

The green stamped flower was hand cut and glued directly over the stamped basic white image and then the second pink layer was glued partially over the green one.
 The sentiment was stamped in the same heat embossed way and added to the card.

Live your Dream: huge Mixed Media tag with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I am going to share my huge Mixed Media tag made with a lot of gorgeous Magenta stencils and stamps.

This is a 9*4.5'' tag (almost 22*11 cm) made on the corrugated cardboard base.
The white thick cardstock was covered with texture paste over with one of  TM53 Background Trio stencils. When it was totally dry the mix of mists was added over the tag.
Then some letters were painted with TM219 Alpha and Number duo stencil)-alpha part of it- and teal acrylic paint.

For the next step the stamped images were added over the tag. As it's almost impossible to stamp properly over this thick texture I stamped  Blossom Square image over the white tissue paper with permanent black ink (Ranger Archival) and then glued the stamped and torn pieces over the tag as shown. Actually it was stamped three times and one of the piece was adhered as is in the middle and the other two were glued by pieces on the bottom and on the top.

The " Live your dreams" sentiment was stamped with permanent black ink over white cardstock and then misted and trimmed to fit the colors and the size of the finished tag.
I added the die cut doily that was cut into two pieces over the tag and made the flowers , chipboard and lace cluster as the focal embellishments point of the tag.
I really hope that you like my huge Mixed Media tag and would try to make a similar project using our delicious Magenta products.

Bookmarks with Prickley Pear rubber stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.

This week the designers were challenged to make bookmark.

So here is mine and as you know, bookmark should be totally flat if we really want to use it inside a book.

As you can see I stamped the images and water colored some of them to get this pretty vintage/monochromatic look.
I just added a bit of glossy accents for a bit of dimension and added a minimal tied ribbon and just one gemstone embellishment on the top.

Stamps used:
Heart Dandelion
Vase with Heart
Blobby Flowers 2 clear set
You are most welcome to Prickley Pear Rubber stamps blog to see more bookmark inspiration!

Topflight Doodle your stamps inspiration

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my weekly Topflight Stamp shop post.

This week the design team was challenged to work with a doodling range of stamps from Leane Creatief range originated in Netherlands.

This is my very first time to doodle anything, so it took me quite awhile to get the proper doodling pen.

And after a few tries the pen of choice is Pigma Micron 0.1 black pen.

 Here is the stamp I used to make this card: Flower Pot

The sentiment I used is from For the Love of Stamps Barrow of Blooms set.

I made the stamped background with the same stamps using white pigmented ink and white embossing powder over Kraft cardstock and then colored the images with distress markers.
The main image was stamped over white cardstock with black ink and heat embossing and then colored with the same distress markers inside.

Then I doodled over each piece of the stamped image and tried to make each petal different.

I hope that you liked my doodling and this stamp.
If you wish to see more of my work you are mostly welcome to my own blog.
See you next week with the different inspiration.
