LOVE, INSPIRE AND CREATE!

Hello everyone! Martha Lucia here to share with you three fun card ideas that I made using our stamps and die cuts. Here is my first card:


To create this I used the watercolor faux technique. I inked an acrylic block with Pool Party classic ink and then I sprayed with water before placing the block over the whisper white layer of paper. When the paper was totally dry I pasted over it three Word Love in different colors and positions. I completed the message using parts of two images from the stamp set Friends Forever, stamped with Versafine Onix over the same color of the card base. As final touch I added a few rhinestones over the watercolor background. 


For my second card I used the stamp set It's Plaid Time. I stamped each line alternating three different colors of ink and cross the lines on the center. Then I cut the center using the small oval from the Dual Stitched Oval Die Cut Set, to create the inlaid technique. 


Also I cut the same oval in fun foam to get more dimension and I pasted the decorated oval over the foam. I pasted the decorated layer over the card base and pasted the oval exactly in the same place. To finalize the decoration I cut the Word Inspire in Pink Pirouette and Pool Party card stock to paste over the oval with a little movement. 


For my third card I chose neutral colors and vellum card stock. The base is crumb cake and the second layer is early espresso. I stamped two flowers from the stamp set Peonies Love over vellum using VersaMark and White Embossing Powder. I melted the powder with the heat tool and colored the flowers on the back using pearlescent.


I cut the second layer of the card using early espresso card stock and one of the die cuts from the Dual Stitched Rounded Rectangle. I stamped a sentiment over this using VersaMark and White Embossing Powder. Then I pasted some loops of pink thread, the vellum flowers and some sequins. As final touch I colored the front of the flowers with Clear Wink of Stella.

HUMMING BLOSSOM AND MORE

Hello dear friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you some of my creations this week. I don't want to stop using the Peek-a-boo stamps, they are totally gorgeous and for today's post I chose three amazing sets.

This is my first card, on this I used one of the images included on the stamp set Humming Blossom. Take a look at my card:


I stamped the blossom image several times directly over the card base using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored partially each branch using color pencils and sansodor technique. I added some white points with a white gel pen on the center of the colored flowers to enhance the details of these.


For the sentiment I used the sentiment included on the stamp set stamped in a white circle and decorated with a black mat.

My second card is very different from the first. In this project I used as focal point the die cut Victorian Gate.

The base of the card is Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped on the upper part a sentiment form the stamp set Friends Forever using VersaFine Onix Ink and then I made over this a dry embossing using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. After this, I inked the base with three different colors of ink: Soft Suede, Wild Wasabi and Bashful Blue.


I cut the die Victorian Gate using metallic green card stock and paste it over the embossed card base using dimensionals or zapdots to give more hight.


As final touch I added some heart sequins in blue marine color to create a big contrast.

My third project is very special. I am designer for another company specialized in digital cutting files, they give me a file to create  my own Year Planner or Agenda and I decided to make my own version of this making this like my art journal. Well I made one of the pages of my planner with one of the stamp sets of Peek-a-boo and decorated it with other elements others for now, because I have 18 months to complete my journal. Take a look at my page:


In this page I used the stamp set Flower in a Jar stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with color pencils and stampin' pastels. Also, I used the Dual Stitched Rounded Rectangle die cuts to create the frame where I stamped one of the sentiments.

Here are other details that I used on my planner created with Peek-a-boo products until now.


The little arrows frame were cut using a layer created with Makin's Clay red and the die cut from the set Funky Shapes. The star frame was cut in gold metal sheet. And the Dream Word in Very Vanilla card stock.

My idea on the planner is have one word each month to keep in mind and for August my word is Dream.

Watercoloring with different paints and inks is one of my favourite technique.



I've created a card today using  Peek-aboo Design's Humming Blossom Stamp set.

3 Layered Cards

Hello everyone, its Juhi with my final post for July. Today I'm sharing 3 layered cards keeping with this month's challenge theme - Challenge # 8 - Only...Layers!!! There is still time to play along in case you haven't already done so!
layered stamped card with peek-a-boo designs stamps
For my first layered card I created layers with the Graceful Lattice Die and Rounded Stitched Rectangle Die, I then layered lots of Layered Dahlia blooms on top of it. I love to make stamped CAS cards, so this card is not my usual style but I love how it turned out.

My second card is a one layered card. Instead of adding layers with die cuts I did some masking and layered stamping to create the illusion of depth and perspective.

I did some spotlight stamping and die cutting to create layers in my third card.

I hope my cards have inspired you to create. There is still time to avail a discount of 10% on all the items at the Peek-a-boo Designs website. This discount is valid till 31st of July, 2016.
