How to Make a Holiday Light-Up Card

Hello friends!! Today, I am sharing a Light-up card I made using a Pear Blossom Press One Light and some Catherine Pooler products!

Shop catherine pooler

Shop lights at pear blossom press

To make this card, I first chose my ink color combo. If you need help picking the perfect color combo, you can download a FREE Catherine Pooler Color Wheel!
For my combo, I’m using Whipped Honey, In the Park, Aquatini, It’s a Girl, Polished, Cotton Candy, and Minted.\

I used the Dots & Scallops Dies to create my layers. Then, I used the Mason Jar Snow Globe Stamp Set to create my jar. The lantern and sentiment comes from the Warm and Bright Stamp Set . I stamped my sentiment with the new gorgeous Champagne Metallic Ink!

Once I got all of that stamped, die cut, and assembled, I created a flame for my candle using the PB Press Stamp and Die Combo.

Next, I popped a One Light out of the Halo Light Combo. I inserted a battery (that comes with the combo!) and tested my light to ensure my battery was placed properly.
Then, on my A2 card base, I placed my assembled front panel on top and made a pencil mark inside the flame so I know where my light needs to be.

I placed my One Light where I wanted it to be and secured it using double sided tape. Next, I placed some World’s Best Foam Tape around the entire card base (leaving a border). Then, I attached my front panel to the card!

Here’s a photo of the card with the light off.

And, with a simple push of a button… Voila! Light!

This is definitely a super special card for someone to receive this Christmas!

Thank you SOOO much for stopping by my blog today!! I hope you enjoyed this post and will subscribe below to see more posts from me! Xx, Amanda

For this lovely card, I used one of my favorite background stamps – the Scribble Grid Background! I also used the new Dots and Scallops Dies.

All of my stamped images are from the new Warm & Bright Stamp Set. I used the following colors: Sand Castle, Apricot, Green Tea, Eucalyptus, and Clay Mask.
I used the Grateful Layered Word Die to create this beautifully textured sentiment. For the “shadow” I smooshed the gorgeous NEW Champagne ink and then applied a thick layer of clear embossing powder. Then, I melted the powder with my heat gun.

I added some Providence sequins with my Bearly Art Precision Glue.

I just love this color combo for Fall! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you can find some time to get crafty today!!

For these gorgeous ornaments, I used the Mason Jar Snow Globe Dies with the new Eternal Flame Cover Die.

I stamped the jar in Wintergreen. I also die cut a piece of acetate using the jar die.

I stamped my sentiment from the Warm and Bright Stamp Set with the NEW GORGEOUSSSS Metallic Gold ink!

I added some little florals from the Warm and Bright stamp set, plus some Wintergreen sequins. The last step was just to assemble everything with glue and 3D foam tape! Then, add some twine to the back!

I also created a matching ornament!

Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop! We are so excited to share amazing cards from our Design Team members using the new release! For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store!

You can shop the BRAND NEW RELEASE HERE!

Get your Sweetie Pie stamp set for FREE with a £30 spend (not inc. shipping). And get the coordinating dies too with a £45+ spend!

To create this trifold card, I started with a sheet of cardstock trimmed to 4.5″ x 11″. I scored at the 3″ mark and the 6″ mark.

For all of my rainbow blending, I’m using Maker Forte’s Color Hive Inks in the colors Flamingo, Yellowstone, and Vegas Strip. This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE rainbow blend! You can get a huge range of colors from just these 3 colors!

Here’s how I get the best blend:
1. I start with Yellowstone and blend it in the center of my cardstock.
2. Next, I blend Flamingo on the top of my cardstock (reaching all the way to the top). I gently blend the Flamingo into the Yellowstone to create an orange color.
3. I grab my Vegas Strip and repeat the process on the bottom of the cardstock.
4. Now, I take my Vegas Strip and blend a purple at the very tippy top of the cardstock to create a pinky-purple blend.
5. Then, I get my Flamingo again and blend at the very bottom of the cardstock to create a blue-purple blend.
6. If needed, I will take my Yellowstone brush and just lightly blend into the Flamingo and Vegas Strip.
7. I usually also spritz my background with a Mister Perfect Spray Bottle filled with regular water. I will also sometimes flick white watercolor paint using a Watercolor Brush.

For this panel, I blended my rainbow using the new Bean Scene Stencil. To create a little peek-a-boo, I’m using the flap die from the Slimline Scallop Peekaboo Dies.

If you were wondering what sort of black and white paper I’m using for my striped paper, you’ll be happy to know that I made it myself! I simply used the chisel end of a marker! I wanted them to look hand-drawn, so I just freehanded it! Easy peasy!

For this little panel, I’ve used the new Notre Dame Stencil! I’ve also made some more peekaboos using the little dies from the Treemendous Peekaboo Dies.

For my front panel, I’ve used the Love is Everywhere Stencil. I have also used my new favorite tool (the Cropadile!) to add some eyelets to the front of my card to hold my baker’s twine! I made sure to add my eyelets and twine before gluing down the inside panel!

For my sentiment, I’ve used the Gumbelievable Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment on black cardstock using Embossing Glue. Then, I sprinkled white embossing powder to the sentiment and melted the powder with a heat gun.

For my super adorable shaker lollipop, I’ve used the NEW Sweet Tooth Shaker Dies! Omg, are they adorable or what?! You can make all sorts of sweets and shakers! For my stripes, I used my chisel marker again! I mixed and matched Sparkle Mixes to get all the colors of the rainbow in there.

For my adorable candy jar and gumball machine, I’ve used the Gumbelievable Stamp Set again and then added a layer of Glossy Accents over top! I used OLO markers to color all my images.

For my little circles, I used the circle confetti dies that come in the Sweet Tooth Shaker Dies.

I hope you have LOVED seeing how I made this rainbowy fun mini trifold card!

Santa and the Mrs.

Hello friends! I’m sharing a super sweet card on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog today! Come check it out!

Blessed to Be Your Friend

https://youtu.be/7JGkraDBg-E

I have been busy playing with the October Subscription Box.

I’m sharing a video tutorial with you today making this super sweet fall card. I hope you have some time to watch it! If you’re interested in how to color with Copic markers, I walk through coloring in these cute little guys!

I used the stencil that was included in the October Subscription Box to create this bright and beautifully blended background! I blended Squeezed Lemon, Mustard Seed, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxides. To keep my stencil in place, I used Pixie Spray Adhesive. The cardstock that I use to get the BEST blending is the Snow Flurries Perfect Blend Card Fronts.

For my images, I used Pink and Main’s Happy Fall stamp set. I stamped using Hero Arts Intensified Black ink because it is alcohol-friendly ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating dies.

To make these glittery leaves, I stamped the images with Color Hive Hexagonal Embossing Glue Ink Pad. I brushed on a bit of the Nebula Kaleidoscope Powder using the Rose Gold Dual Tip Powder Brush. All of these items were included in the October Subscription Box!

I trimmed the yellow stenciled background cardstock down to 4″ x 5.25″. I cut a piece of purple cardstock down so that it was just a bit larger. I adhered these card fronts to a card base that was 8.5″ x 5.5″. I adhered my stamped images to my card front using 3D foam squares.

If you weren’t signed up before October 14th and missed out on this box, you can check back later here to see if it’s available as a One-Off. All the subscription options can be found here.

I cannot wait to see what’s in the November box! How about you?!

I really hope you enjoyed my post! I can’t wait to share some more posts with you in November!! Xoxo, Amanda

Retail Therapy – City Streets

Hello crafty friends! I hope everyone is staying happy and healthy!

I made this card before this terrible Coronavirus epidemic. Now, I’m posting it because we all need a little reminder of what’s to come after this is all over! (Or, if you’re like me, you are already treating yourself to a little online retail therapy!!)

To make this card, I started with creating my own street using a ruler and my Copic markers. I used T7, T6, T5, and T4 to create the street.

I used Antique Linen distress ink and this cloud stencil to create a neutral sky.

I stamped my images from the Sunny Studio City Streets stamp set and colored them in with my Copic markers. To keep a certain color palette, I used the same markers throughout all the stamped images.
