    Using Distress Oxide Inks To Add Tons of Color to Die Cut Scenes

    June 24, 2023 / 6 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share some fun ways to use Distress Oxide Inks to enhance your die-cut scenes. Ink-blended backgrounds can add tons of color to your cards while coloring die-cuts with inks can really add dimension and realistic details. Here I used Distress Oxide Inks along with the Country Road Collection to create three colorful cards for different seasons.

    Seahorse Kisses Cards with Marie Nicole

    April 26, 2023 / 2 Comments

    Hello again, crafty friends! Marie here from Marie Nicole Designs. I am sharing three creations using the Seahorse Kisses collection. This collection includes stamps, dies, glimmer plates, and even a stunning embossing folder. If you love all things under the sea, this is a collection that will catch your attention! GLIMMER OVER A FUN BACKGROUND My first card features the large glimmer plate image of a seahorse along with some shells, flowers, and sea plants. I kept it simple by making a fun background to glimmer over. I created the background by dragging several colors of blue ink pads across my paper in different directions to leave some streaks.

    April 25, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! It’s Emily Leiphart here and I’m thrilled to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the Seahorse Kisses Collection by Dawn Woleslagle. I’m a long-time fan of Dawn’s artistry and jumped at the chance to work with her first collection for Spellbinders. I love the aquatic theme of Seahorse Kisses and the beautiful images and sentiments. I chose five colors, plus gold, to feature on all three of these cards using all five sets from this collection. You Are Simply Amazing Jellyfish Card My first card features a simple design featuring the Seahorse Kisses Sentiments, which I heat foiled with Matte Gold Hot Foil before using the…
