Sea Turtle Card

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  Summer is here and bring on the beachy crafting!  One of my favorite stamp sets for this is I Brake for Stamp’s By the Sea Rubber Sheet.  It has fun images, especially this Turtle, in two sizes.

How I made this card was by first sponging blue ink over the center of my white card.  I used the same ink to stamp several of the little stamps on the back ground. I think I used the shell, the seahorse and the fish.  Then I splattered some water drops over top.

Second, I used a blue cardstock and die-cut it to a rectangle. I sponged the same blue ink around the edges here. I stamped and colored the turtle on white.  I trimmed it out.  I then added my sentiment and put the turtle right front and center.

I like to be able to mail flat cards, so I didn’t add anything else, but this card would look great with some knotted twin.

I hope you are enjoying your summer and summer crafting!

Under the Sea

 Hello from design team member, Heidi!

I had a few scraps left from some backgrounds I made previously, and I don’t like to waste these.  I found some small fish stamps in my I Brake for Stamps collection to use up every bit of background.  Then I just fussy cut them out.  I loved the way the first turned out with some interesting texture and markings.

The other background was made a while back with alcohol inks.  This is one that I just loved too much to use, which is also a terrible habit!  You can see that I am really working on reforming my bad habits!

Here are the stamps I used for this project:

Bouncing Brayer Backgrounds

 Hello from designer, Heidi.

 I have two cards to share today that both use an easy technique my friend taught me called Bouncing Brayer.  All you do is ink up your brayer (I used a kaleidocolor inkpad here, but any dye ink will work fine) and then you bounce in along your glossy cardstock until you like the way it looks.  

For backgrounds like this, I often like to stamp simply over top.  I chose some great stamps from the I Brake for Stamps line and stamped right over top using Archival ink.  I think they both turned out great!  I chose to make these both birthday cards as I completely depleted my supply by giving all mine to a local charity.  

Here are links to the stamps I used.
