Welcome, crafty friends!
It's been a long winter, hasn't it? I'm so ready for flowers, pastels, and all things bright and cheery!
Thanks for joining us in the Heffy Doodle New Release Blog Hop! This release has so many great products for your spring and summer card-making, plus a few really unique things that are sure to round out your collection nicely! Find the entire release here.
For today's card, I'm sharing one of the new sets, Big Bug Hugs. So let's get right to the card! You can remember this post for later after you get your goodies and want to create with them!
One of my favorite things to do on a card is create ink blended or watercolor window cards.
Using the stitched square dies, I cut a window into a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card panel. The negative space is going to be your window, and the square die is going to be the ink blended element.
I used Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool to apply various Distress Oxide inks over my square die cut and then set it aside.
I stamped several images from the Big Bug Hugs stamp set, colored them with Prismacolor pencils, and then used the matching dies to cut them out.
After mounting my window panel with foam tape and placing it on to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base, I laid my ink blended square piece into the window opening and then arranged my die cuts around the window to create a little mini-scene! For the images that were in the window portion and the card panel, I glue the parts that were flat against the panel with liquid glue. For the area that were inside the window, I used foam adhesive to pop them up so that everything would be the same level on the finished card.
I die cut the word "friend" from a piece of scrap cardstock I had in my stash and then stamped a sentiment to finish everything off!
So let's get to the details of the hop!
