This card features very minimal masking. I masked the letter "k" and the foot on one elephant but otherwise, no masking! I stenciled the card first, stamped over the background, then colored and embellished!
The 5 1/2" x 12 card base was stenciled with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and the MFT Cloud Stencil. This no-masking technique works best with lighter colors of ink. If you want to go with darker colors, stamp and mask first, then stencil. Because Distress Inks and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based so they work together seamlessly!
The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
The design was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Confetti.

Hello friends and welcome to the Honey Bee Stamp Brie Mine Release Blog Hop Day 2! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite kinds of cards, tri-fold one layer cards with extreme masking and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The sweets from the Piece of Cake and Mae the Mouse Stamp Sets are perfect for this technique and doesn't this make your mouth water just looking at this yummy display?!!!!

I always start by trimming Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and lightly drawing a pencil line at 4" and 8". Then I start stamping the images I'm using to create the scene. Make sure to stamp the images in the foreground first, mask them, and then stamp the next layer, mask them, and so on. I followed this all the way across the panel until I had filled the entire design with sweet treats.
I drew in a line with a black pen to "ground" the images and create a table or counter for the sweets to be sitting on.
Sentiments from Piece of Cake and Mae the Mouse were stamped above and below the treats as shown. I erased the pencil lines before coloring.
The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I love using water based markers as they don't bleed through the cardstock to the backside of the tri-fold card.
The gift tag was customized with a sentiment from the Piece of Cake Stamp Set. I stamped and embossed the greeting with white embossing powder. The hershey kisses tags were stamped with greetings using red ink.
Prisma Glitter was added to the two "frosted" cupcakes to look like decorative sugar and Glossy Accents was added to the cherries.
Once dry, the card was scored at 4" and 8" to finish the design.

A sentiment from the Let's Toast Stamp Set was stamped on the panel with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.
Faces were added to the images for a fun, playful touch. Cheeks were also stamped on most of the images using Lawn Fawn Inks.
The piece of toast for the toaster was placed on the slider track tab. A notch was die cut from the toaster using a Let's Toast Pull Tab Slider Add On and the toaster was slipped over the toaster and adhered with foam adhesive along the sides. The rest of the images were adhered to the scene using a combination of glue dots and foam adhesive.
Hearts from the Let's Toast Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Lobster Ink.
A pull tab from the Let's Toast Pull Tab Add On was die cut from Chili Pepper Cardstock and stamped with "pull here" from the Push Me Stamp Set using clear embossing ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder. The tab was secured to the pull tab slider mechanism to tell the recipient that the card is interactive.
A Fancy Scalloped Rectangle was die cut from smooth white cardstock and the edges inked with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink. The interactive panel was secured to the scallop rectangle with foam adhesive and adhered to a white side fold card base.

Hello friends! I'm so excited to share this hog wild birthday cupcakes card with you today! This card is die cut heavy with a stenciled background, stamped cupcake wrappers, and stamped greetings. What gives this card that special touch is the multiple die cut cupcakes with a cute piggy popping up from the center! Let's get started!

The background for my card was inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on smooth white cardstock in an ombre effect from dark to light, leaving the bottom of the panel white for stamping the sentiment. A Polka Dot Background Stencil was inked with the same color of ink over the background for a decorative touch.
Sentiments from the Ham It Up Stamp Set were stamped along the bottom of the panel with Simon Says Stamp Doll Pink Ink.
The Cupcake wrappers were stamped with tone-on-tone ink using the Bitty Patterns Stamp Set to customize the wrappers. This gives them a patterned paper look and adds instant interest to the design.
The die cut images were adhered to the card base with tape adhesive or foam adhesive to build depth and dimension. The "glaze" on three of the cupcakes was finished with Glossy Accents and then the Coffee Tiny Bubbles were sprinkled over the top for added texture. I love the look of the tiny bubbles in the frosting!
Additional greetings from the Ham It Up Stamp Set were stamped inside the card to finish the sentiment. You could make this card work for Valentines or other occasion by simply switching up the sentiments or leaving off the birthday candles!

Both of my cards today feature a pink color scheme, stenciled Mini Clouds and components from the Heart Art Card Kit and Joyful Heart Bears Stamp Set to create adorable love-themed designs that will for Valentines and beyond! I always love having a good stash of love-themed cards on hand!
Neenah Smooth White Cardstock was stenciled with the MFT Stamps Mini Clouds Stencils and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. I love non-traditional colors for clouds! The pink color compliments the rest of these cards much better than a blue cloud would.
From the landscape stenciled cloud background the landscape Double The Love Die-namics die from the Heart Art Card Kit was die cut from the cloud background. The word "love" was also die cut 3 times from Gina K Passionate Pink Cardstock. The panel and the first layer of cardstock letters were inlaid into the design on a side fold card base. The cardstock letters were adhered one on top of another to give the greeting subtle dimension. The die cut sentiment was finished with the stenciled die cut letters adhered slightly offset.
A sentiment from the Joyful Heart Bears was stamped above the word "love" with Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo Ink.
The bear and butterfly images from the Joyful Heart Bears Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating dies and adhered with foam adhesive as shown.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were applied to the wings on the butterflies and the design was finished with a scattering of Honey Bee Stamp Strawberry Ice hearts.
For my second card a greeting from the Joyful Heart Bears was stamped along the bottom edge of the portrait stenciled background with Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo Ink.
The Mini Heart Shaker Window and Frame Die-namics (FREE with $60 purchase from MFT Stamps) was die cut from the upper part of the design. I only used the window, not the frame today.
A Heart Art image was stamped on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo Ink and die cut with the same die. The heart was adhered directly to the card base and the panel was adhered with foam adhesive for dimension.
The bears and butterfly images from the Joyful Heart Bears Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating dies and adhered with foam adhesive.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were applied to the wings on the butterflies, the hearts in the pail, and the heart the bear is hugging. The card was finished with a scattering of Honey Bee Stamp Strawberry Ice hearts.

I challenged myself to created one layer designs today. One card with an overall stamped background and one with masked images. Want to add even more dimension? Add the coordinating Key To My Heart Die Set, sold separately, at the time of subscription!
Images for both cards were stamped with clear embossing ink, embossed with white embossing powder, and colored in with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and a water brush pen. These metallic colors are my absolute fav on dark backgrounds!
For the winged heart locket card, I stamped sentiments from the Spellbinders January 2019 Stamp of the Month Club and the locket using clear embossing ink and heat set the images and greetings with white embossing powder. I created a mask for the locket, and stamped the wings over the design and embossed those as well.
The images were colored in with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and a water brush pen and set aside to dry completely.
Picket Fence Distress Paint was watered down a little and splattered over the background with a small paintbrush.
The background was trimmed down to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to a white top fold card base.
For the gray background, the sentiment, locks, and keys from the January 2019 Stamp of the Month were stamped using clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.

I started by stenciling a cloud background on Neenah Smooth White Cardstock with the MFT Stamps Clouds Stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Ink. I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and then die cut the Offset Rainbow design from the stenciling background, discarding the rainbow rays.
A sentiment from the Friendship Sentiments Stamp Set was stamped along the bottom edge of the panel with Simon Says Stamp Island Blue Ink.
The rainbow rays and cloud from the Offset Rainbow Dies were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The cloud was also die cut once from vellum. The rainbow rays were inked with Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet Distress Inks.
The background panel and rays were adhered to a white top fold card base in an inlay design as shown.
The elephants and mice from the Flying With Friends Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Intense Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and ndie cut with the coordinating Flying With Friends Dies.
The images were adhered to the scene with glue dots or foam adhesive squares. The white cloud was also adhered with foam adhesive squares.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were applied to the balloons for a sparkly finish. Candy hearts in Kiss Me were scattered throughout the design for a pop up fun.
The card was finished by stamping an additional sentiment from the Friendship Sentiments Stamp Set inside the card using Simon Says Stamp Island Blue Ink.
