Birthday card with easy stencilled backgrounds

Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome to my new blog series, Celebration Time for Heffy Doodle. I’m so excited to be joining the Heffy Doodle blog team and I can’t wait to bring you lots of inspiration. I recently created this birthday card for my Husband, which is a perfect excuse for a celebration!

As a Staffie owner ourselves, of course, I just had to use the new image and pair it up with some other new plus older sets to create a fun mini-scene.

Let’s start with our background, die cut from a piece of white card stock with a Whimsically Wonky Frame Die for your front panel. I’ve used the Metric size die for today’s card. Lay on the Trio Masquerade Stencil using the etched markings to help you line it up centrally. Ink up each panel area using 2 ink colors, I’m using Evergreen Bough and Twisted Citron Distress Inks on my card today.

Tip: Use Heffy Doodle Memo Tape to section off each area as you are blending, this will allow you to avoid catching color in the areas you may not want it!

For the next part of our card, we need some images. What better way to celebrate than with some cake and presents! I’ve used the following stamp sets stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker-friendly card stock.

Images have been colored in copics and die cut with the coordinating dies for each set running them through my Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine.

Let’s finish up this celebration with a sentiment. Take the sentiment from the Stitched Birthday Trio Frame Dies cut from Kiwi Crush and Blueberry Bliss card stock. Adhere together for a slight shadow using adhesive glue, I’m using the adorable Glubert.

Use adhesive glue for your images and sentiment to place on your ink-blended card panel backing this onto a card base. I’ve also used Kiwi Crush to match the sentiment on the front of our card.

Finish up your card with some Summer Holiday Enamel Dots. I like to add embellishments in odd numbers 3, 5, and so on!

I will be back soon with more celebratory card inspiration, until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
