Floral Mandala Card

Hello friends!! It’s Channin here and today I’m creating a beautiful clean and simple card featuring the Floral Mandala Bundle from Hero Arts.

To create this card I first stamped the large floral mandala image from the Floral Mandala stamp set in black ink onto white cardstock. I then copic colored the image and when I finished I popped the image back into my MISTI and stamped it again to make the image bold and black. 

Next, I die cut the image out with the matching die. I then stamped the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with a sentiment from the Floral Mandala stamp set in black. Next, I finished the card by adhering the mandala to the card from with foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed my card! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Distress Oxide Ink Single Layer Holiday Cards

 Hi card making friends, Sandi MacIver here and I have four super easy holiday cards for you today.  The Distress Oxide Ink Single Layer Holiday Cards are done in a mass production format blending all the backgrounds first and then popping the stamps into the Misti and stamping all the cards at the same time.

I even used precut and scored card bases to further speed up the process (link below).

For the backgrounds I used four different blends of Distress Oxide Inks and the Simon Says Stamp Simple Patterns Trio Stencils.

These stencils line up with the outside edge of an A2 card so you can quickly add your ink blends and move on.

There are three designs in this set, and for the forth card (bottom right corner), I created my own.

I used a piece of Neenah Solar White 80# card and the Simon Says Stamp A2 Thin Frames to cut out the stencil.  You could also use overhead projector plastic or plastic left over from packaging.

Once all the blending is done and the ink is dry, pop one of the cards into the bottom left corner of your Misti, secure with a few magnets and add the stamps.  

These stamps are from the Simon Says Stamp Prismatic Snowflakes stamp set and the sentiment is from Simons Holiday Greetings Mix 1.

Once you have the stamps all lined up, use Simons Intense Black Ink to stamp them.  Just remove the stamped card and pop another one in, ink up the stamps and in no time you have all four stamped.

These beautiful cards are easy to create, bright and cheery and flat, so no additional postage required.

Here are the Distress Oxide Ink Colors I used for the blends.

Card #1  (from the Top), Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves.

Card #2 - Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch.

Card #3 - Spun Sugar, Bundled Sage and Tumbled Glass

Card #4 - Shaded Lilac, Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough.

That's it for me today, I hope you will give these cards a try and add to your Christmas Card Stash.

Rainbow Foliage Hello

Hello friends! It's Channin here and today I have a sweet and simple rainbow card to share!

To create this card, I first positioned the wreath stamp from the Delicate Wreath Stamp Set from Pinkfresh Studio in my MISTI. I then inked the stamp up with Spun Sugar Distress Ink, but only about a third of it and then stamped it on an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then slid my panel up inked up the same third of the stamp with Picked Raspberry and then stamped. I repeated the process for several other colors of ink till I had a complete rainbow. However, I did have to reposition my stamp once while I was creating my rainbow when I ran out of room to slid my panel up.

Once I finished stamping my rainbow I then die cut "hello" from an panel of white cardstock using the Kelly Alpha Lower Case dies. I then trimmed my rainbow panel down 1/8" on the top and bottom sides of the panel and then adhered it onto an A2 top-folding card base turned on its side. Next, I added foam squares to the backside of my "hello" panel and then adhered the panel onto my card front.
