Miss Ink Stamps - Ode To My Quarantine Life

Welcome back!  I've got this one for you today... an ode to Quarantine Life using bunches of images from a few stamp sets over at Miss Ink!  I can totally see me eating a cupcake and drinking wine in my underwear on multiple occasions in the last year...lol!

I started with the Rabbit Hole Stencil and added some Heidi Swapp Minc Reactive Paint with a paintbrush through it.  I set it aside to dry and then foiled it using some Opal Decofoil for a subtle swirly background because that's what my head feels like these days.  I wanted a light and bright card so the Opal on white was perfect!  And if you see it in person a lot of the colors that were used to color are in that beautiful foil.

And then I just stamped, cut and colored the images I wanted to use from Happy New Year (the sentiment and drinks), Tea Party (cupcakes and coffee cups), I Believe (underwear), Say Cheese,(Cheese), Unstoppable (Toilet Paper) and Boo Crew (candy).  I fussy cut the sentiment from Happy New Year and then laid everything out and moved them around until I was happy with it. Then I used some thin foam tape to adhere it all.  A few sequins finished it up!

I love that although the big sentiment from the Happy New Year set is specific with dates, it's a sentiment that can be used well into 2021 AND all of the other images and the generic Happy New Year stamp are great for always.

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

 

Miss Ink Stamps - Let's Not Talk About It

Welcome back!  I decided to get my Minc out for this one!  Turns out the Rabbit Hole stencil is perfect along with the Happy New Year stamp set from Miss Ink!...lol!  Do you think 2021 is going to be better?  I think eventually it will be.  But I don't expect to wake up the morning of January 1st to a whole new world...lol!  Hang in there!  Thank goodness I can escape into my craft room which I do often.  I hope you can find some peace too.

I discovered a new to me product this week!  The Heidi Swapp Reactive Paint is a great and easy way to apply foil to a stencil.  You know I love my dimension so the Transfer Gel from Decofoil is a go to quite often for me.  But the paint is great for when you don't want that added weight to your project or for a stencil like this with wide spaces!  It would take a lot of gel to fill all of those spaces, but easy peasy to use a paintbrush and apply the paint.  I just waited for it to dry and ran it through with some rainbow Deco Foil.  I used CTMH cardstock, and used the #4 setting on my Minc.  I let the panel sit for a minute or so to cool off before I carefully removed it and I got great coverage!

I just stamped, colored and fussy cut my images and added them to that cool background... along with a few sequins of course!

That's it!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!
