BOOKMARK INSTRUCTIONS

I created see-through bookmarks many times, so I am reusing older step by step photos here, but they are useful and will help you a lot to create this look.

1. Create 3 die-cuts with the stitched scalloped rectangle frames dies

2. Cut off the center piece of the scalloped die-cut on the short sides. 

3. Now you have two similar parts of each of them.

4. Adhere them together. 

5. The frame is done, create the shaker part like usually, or as I am showing it in my older bookmark video. Then embellish it with your colored images and sentiments. 

For my bookmark I have used bubbles of joy stamp set  and the scripty bubble sentiments stamp set. For the coloring I have used Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers in the following shades: CT1, MG1, GT1, BT3, HB1, PP1, PP3, MB1, MB2, MB3, MB4, BG2, GB1, Blender. (for the bubble coloring watch the video tutorial here on my YouTube channel with another project.)

That's all folks for today, I really love this set, and I hope you get inspired by this cute bookmark. Thank you so much for stopping by, have an amazing day! Mona

Hi crafty friends! I am back with a sweet, calorie free slimline card inspiration with video tutorial, what I have created with ink blending, heat embossing and die-cutting. You can find the video here. 

THIS CARD FEATURES

• All My Love Stamp Set [ PRT | SSS ]
• Valentine Hearts Stamp Set [ PRT | SSS ]
• Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies [ PRT | SSS ]
• For the additional supplies visit the thumbnails below this post.

CARD INSTRUCTIONS

I started the cardmaking with die-cutting. I created heart shape die cuts in pastel colors with the smaller heart shape die from the All My Love set as well as light brown hearts with the larger one.

I have also created one more die-cut with the smaller heart die as a template for speeding up the stamping and heat embossing process. Then I stamped on the heart die-cuts with watermark ink and heat embossed with fine white embossing powder.

Next, I created shadows on the hearts with Distress Oxide Inks. I picked a slightly darker color then the current die-cut color. Check this process in the video here. When it was done, I have created the highlights too with white pencil and pen.

After this I adhered the heart die-cuts together and created the card base with the Peekaboo Windows and the Scallop Frames Slimline dies. These two dies work perfectly together. I have created a soft teal die-cut with the largest die from the Peekaboo Windows set. I made a quick ink blending on it through the Lattice Stencil with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. After the ink blending, I splattered on it with clear water.

In the end I embellished the card with White Hearts Clay Confetti. It’s just a nice addition to the cards. And the slimline card was ready. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time. Hugs, Mona.

CARD INSTRUCTIONS

I started the cardmaking with stamping the images with alcohol marker friendly black inkpad. When it was done, I made a quick heat set for my images and I continued the coloring process. 

For the coloring I have used the following colors from Spectrum Noir Illustrators:

Monkeys: EB7, EB4, EB1, TN2, TN1, FS7, FS6.

Cheeks: FS8, FS6.

Envelopes, chocolate box, ears: PP5, PP4, PP3, PP1, FS8, FS6, Blender.

If you are interested to watch the coloring please click here to watch the video in HD.

When the coloring was done, I continued with fussy cutting and die-cutting all the colored images. I have also created one soft pink and one gold glittery die-cut with the beautiful Heart Vines cover plate.

Before I have adhered the die-cuts and the images to their right place, I heat embossed the Love sentiment from the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set. Once to a pink cardstock and once to a gold glitter cardstock, which I run through my die-cut machine with its coordinating dies. Then I adhered all the parts together with liquid adhesive and 3D foam squares.

In the end I embellished my card with glittery heart die-cuts from the Heart Vines stamp set, and for the other one I adhered Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix as well as soft pink rhinestones from the newly released Sweetheart rhinestones.

These monkeys and envelopes are so adorable, they just make me smile, and the cover plate is currently one of my favorites! Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time. Hugs, Mona.
