SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge 78

Hi there crafty peeps. Just want to share this card that I made for the current SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge 78.

I started by stenciling the background using Gradient Stripes stencil. Once that done, I stamped and colored the flowers from Friendship Blooms set. Die cut with its matching dies and adhere to card with foam adhesive. Finish by stamping the sentiment. Clean and simple.

Below is the inspiration picture:

I hope you will play along. The challenge is open till  the end of the month. You can find all the details and enter the challenge HERE. Happy Wednesday!
 

The Ton Spring 2021 Release

 Hi all and welcome to The Ton Spring release. We have loads of new fun stamp, dies & stencil sets and also we're releasing 19 new ink pads. I am super excited for this release and playing with the new sets like kids in candy store. Let's dive in to the projects right away, shall we?

First up, I am showcasing Baroque Frame Oval et and pair it with one of the flower from Grouped Fresh Carnations set.

I stamped the frame with Caribbean Turquoise and then die cut it with the matching Baroque Frame Oval Dies. Put it aside and next I stamped, heat embossed, watercolored and die cut the carnation. I decided to stick with clean & simple design to really showcase the beautiful design of the frame.

Adhere the frame and the flower both with foam adhesive. Finish by adding sentiment from previously released Easy Expressions set.

On to the next card.

For this card, I stamped and heat embossed the Mum Close Up cling set on a panel of cardstock. Colored it with Copic markers and once done, I adhere the panel to my card base. For added interest, I adhere a rectangle frame using. I used Rectangle A2 Frames Slim Borders Coverplate Die and  have a  bunch of this rectangle frame ready to go for future projects. For the sentiment I used the word Hugs from Grouped Fresh Daisies. Finished by adding some enamel drops. 

Since, I watercolored this set with  metallic watercolor, it actually has pretty nice shimmer. Here on this pic you can see the shimmer more.

Last but not least, I am showcasing the Many Mums cling stamp.

 

For this card, I am using the smooshing technique. Basically I laid some watercolor on my glass work space, spritz it with water to get it wetter and then laid my watercolor cardstock on top of it. Let dry and then stamped the image. Next, I die cut it with the Scalloped A2 Nested dies and adhere the panel to the card base. Finished by adding the sentiment from Grouped Fresh Daisies.

There, 3 projects showcasing the new sets. I have more projects to share using the new sets and will share it during our Instagram hop. If you haven't follow me on Instagram, I'd love for you to do so. I do share more projects on Instagram. You can find me HERE.

My talented team mates has work hard for this release. Please visit their blogs to see more inspiring projects using the new sets. Thank you all for stopping by here.

The Ton Sunflower Pop Up Dies Release

Hi peeps. Welcome to The Ton release day. Today we're only releasing one set of dies, but it is such a cool set. Introducing Sunflower Pop Up dies.

I always love pop up cards. I think they're fun and when I saw the sneak peek of this dies, I got so excited. 

For the front of my card I start with the background panel, which I create using the Quilted A2 Coverplate die. Adhere the panel to cad base. Next I stamp, die cut the sunflower pieces from an older set from The Ton collection called Fresh Cut Sunflowers.  Arrange and adhere to the card base.

Next, the fun part. The pop up mechanism. Now, it looks a bit complicated, but it really isn't. I simply watch and follow the direction on the instruction video HERE. I got it done with the first try. Just a simple learning curve.

 

The pic above shown how it looks like when the card open 90 degree. Now, in my opinion, it doesn works better when you use less thicker cardstock. Otherwise it gets too bulky. And, instead of using colored cardstock, for y card, I chose to use white cardstock and inked the flowers and the leaves using The Ton Lemon Drop, Vanilla Frosted Cupcake, Soft Garden and Bright Fern ink. I feel like I get more depth of colors this way.

So, what do you think? Fun right? Now, my teammates have created more inspiration using this die set. Please check out their wonderful creations. Thank you all so much for stopping by here and I hope you love this die set as much as I do. Happy Thursday!

SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek Day 2

 Hi everyone. Welcome to day 2 of SugarPea Designs sweet peek week. I am excited to share my project for today's sneak peek as it brings me down memory lane.

As a child of the 80s, this Vintage Telephone dies totally reminds me of hours of time spent chatting with my friends. Kind of funny to think that back in those days I can talk for hours on the phone and now, I prefer face to face meeting than talking on the phone.

To make this card more fun, I add rainbow color chevron using the new Chevron Cover Plate. You know what my favorite thing about this phone? It's the number from the Call Me stamp set. The number fit perfectly inside the rotary part of the die cut phone. It's all about the little details for me. Here's a peek of the Call Me set since I only use the number from this set.

The Ton 6th Anniversary Release Hop

Hi all. Happy new year. I can't  believe that I haven't been blogging since October 2020. Gosh, my blog really got quite neglected. So sorry about that. I do still make cards regularly, but I just been posting them more on my Instagram account.

Well, I am glad to be back on blog land as we celebrating The Ton 6th anniversary. For this celebration. The Ton is releasing 7 new stamp/dies and 4 new standalone dies. I am excited for this release & really looking forward for more creativity in 2021.

Without further delay, let's get on with the card, shall we?

For my card, I am showcasing the fun Ditsy Bits set. And, I have to say, the Quilted Coverplate A2 die is a set that surprise me. At first, I thought it just standard quilted design, till I actually use it. It cuts little hearts instead of just dots or stitch impression. I don't know about you, but these little hearts gets me.  I was like, oooh, look at that, pretty!

To make the hearts stand out a bit more, I back the light blue cardstock with dark teal cardstock, as you can see on the pic above. For the flowers, I stamped them with Hollywood Star, Soft Garnet, Cosmopolitan Pink and Soft Garden. Once stamped, I die cut them using the coordinating Ditsy Bits die. Arrange on the card and finish by adding sentiment.

For my next card, I am using the gorgeous Radiant Roses Standalone Layering Dies.

I just love the layers on  this rose set. It's beautiful and I just love playing with this. I can see more roses cards coming. I always enjoy playing with what I consider classic, timeless set. This set definitely fall  under this category & I love, love this set. maybe because I associated it with my mom's favorite flower. 

I die cut all the pieces from watercolor cardstock and color each layers deeper. To ground the flowers, i add a scallop frame, that I die cut using the 2nd largest frame from Scalloped A2 Nested dies. Arrange flower & leaves, then add sentiment using the new Ribbon General set stamped with Peach Blossom & Coralline and die cut it with coordinating dies.

There you go, 2 fun cards too start my 2021 blog post. ;) 

GIVEAWAY

Fun stuff! We have a little giveaway for this anniversary release. One winner will be randomly chosen from the comments on the blog hop and will be announced on The Ton's Blog on Friday, January 22. The winner will be able to choose a stamp from our 6th Anniversary Release. This giveaway is open to everyone.
