Card making / A couple of cards to share

    Hello crafty friends, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I've been quite busy these days, but I finally got some time to make cards! Yay! 

    I have a couple of cards to share today. I love surfing on the internet to see talented crafters' projects and learn some tricks and tips or great ideas from them. I cased some cards that really inspired me with a little bit twist. You can see those cards here, here and here


    For the first card, I used a mama elephant stamp set called Free Style Florals. I stamped some flowers and leaves on a white cardstock, did some copic coloring, and then fussy cut them out. I made my own background pattern paper with a  "thankful" image from Studio Calico using Fog dye ink from Simon Says Stamp. And then I assembled my flowers and leaves with some glue and pop dots. Finished off my card with some gold sequins.

A Thankful Heart Is A Happy Heart.

 For the second card, I started off with stamping tomato image randomly using Berry Sorbet and New Leaf ink pads from PTI.  And then stamped some sentiments using Enchanted Evening and True Black ink from PTI as well. I rounded my card corner with my WRMK corner chomper, glued the card panel with an angle onto my cardbase. I then stamped a sentiment and withe embossed it on a black cardstock, and cut it off. Finishing off this card with Rock Candy stickle from Ranger.

   For the last one, I blended in Aqua Mist, Spring Rain ink pad with Tim Holtz mini blending tool. Die cut the panel with the stitched frame from MFT Blueprint 21#. And then I dry embossed the card front with a WRMK embossing folder.  Die cut some starts with MFT Stitched Stars die from pattern paper and vellum cardstock. I also cut "AWESOME" from a black cardstock using a Studio Calico die. I put everything together on my embossed card front, embellished with a blue button and some white sequins.





I hope you like my sharing today.


XOXO

    最近趁著放假的空檔做了幾張卡片,製作的靈感來自幾個很喜歡的作品,有興趣的人可以去看看這幾個作品。 herehere and here.

    第1張卡片我選了Yana 的作品。Yana是一個非常棒的彩印人,同時身兼好幾個品牌的設計團隊,像是大家熟悉的Hero Arts, Spellbinders, Simon Says Stamps 及Altenew等。她的用色很摩登,非常具有現代感,我常覺得歐洲的彩印人使用的配色很有特色,相比起美國的彩印人來說,用色通常偏向大膽,鮮豔,具有強烈的現代感的配色; 我個人很喜歡這種配色,去年剛接觸到Yana的作品時簡直太開心了。說到配色的大膽,同樣是喜歡使用黑色的Amy Tangerine,她的作品裡的黑色是溫柔的,有童趣的感覺,而我非常欣賞的另一位歐洲彩印人Nanant的作品呈現的黑色便非常有強烈的視覺衝擊,但又不具攻擊性,很有畫龍點睛的效果   (歪樓了......囧)

   我用了mama elephant的印章蓋了花朵和樹葉,用copic markers上色,然後剪下來備用 (係地,人客妳沒看錯,用剪刀剪下來的,這組印章有搭配的刀模,但我沒買到......囧,只好回歸原始的手工剪)。選個字章用Simom最淺的灰色 fog印台蓋滿整張卡紙,然後把剛才剪下來的花草樹葉拼貼在卡紙上,再貼到底紙上就完成了。

    第2張卡片是看了這個作品之後依樣畫葫蘆case了一張卡片。我用了Wplu9同系列的番茄印章蓋在卡紙上,然後一樣挑了幾個字章直接蓋在番茄上,然後貼到A2尺寸的卡紙上就好了。很簡單的設計,但是非常漂亮! 這張卡片的重點是自製的背景紙要用實心的印章(Peggy老師說咱們要有文化一點,這種實心的印章叫做陰刻章),然後蓋在上面的字章不要太複雜,我試了幾種顏色之後,個人覺得字章用黑色的印台來蓋效果最好。 PS: 我case的這張卡片還有另一個版本,也非常漂亮喔!

    最後一張卡片是從這張卡片得來的靈感。我挑了兩種藍色用海綿刷棒刷色,然後用MFT的購圖小物21#裏的長方形縫線刀模切出逢線邊框,再用WRMK的凹凸版壓出山形紋路。用MFT的星形縫線刀模切美編紙和水晶卡,再用Studio Calico的字形刀模切黑色的卡紙,最後把剛切好的小物拼拼湊湊,再點綴幾個亮片,完成!

    
    題外話,不知道大家有沒有這種經驗啊,很多彩印產品和技法都是從國外來的,在紀錄卡片製作過程的時候總會碰上不知道如何翻譯和稱呼的情況,搞得po個文還要到處去翻找有進這些產品的國內一些商家的平台,免得產生雞同鴨講不知所云的烏龍,難怪我的po文老是難產啊~~~~~~~
