A Jellyfish card with Bioluminescence

By on July 19, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a couple cards re-creating the look of Bioluminescence using Distress Oxide inks. Did you know that over 90% of all jellyfish produce a chemical reaction that creates light? So cool! So today I thought a card showcasing that natural phenomenon would be fun.

I actually have had a REAL-LIFE encounter with a jellyfish. In fact, too close of an encounter! Yes, I was stung multiple times on the leg while I was snorkeling in Hawaii. But I was told that I was LUCKY…because it was only a “mild” one. And it only hurt for a few hours afterwards.

But that is why I enjoy jellyfish more on a CARD! Lol.

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming…

I have a quick video showing the process of this card, including how I fixed an error on stamping the sentiment. (I always try to save a card after working so hard on it, if possible!)

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These cards actually came together pretty quickly, and I think they will be great encouragement cards. You can make them as dramatic or subtle as you want, depending on the colors you choose.

I splattered water on the blue card, but not on the purple card. I like both ways. Which one do you like better?

Salt Water heals everything (except jellyfish stings!)

Have you ever met a jellyfish in the ocean? I’d love to hear your stories!

I hope you enjoyed these cards today. Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Paper to create an underwater Scene

By on July 12, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I was inspired by some designer paper that looks like watercolor! It came in the June 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit, and I couldn’t wait to create a scene complete with jellyfish.

I have a process video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:

I think the waves that also came in the kit (as well as the underwater images) are fantastic. I heat embossed the waves with white embossing powder, then fussy cut the top to reveal the stenciled sun rays.

All the images were colored with Copics, and fussy cut to create this underwater scene. The Hello sentiment is from my stash, and is currently a favorite of mine!

A rainbow hello!

For the sand, I used some embossing powder called “Dirty Sand” that I found at Creativation last year. It’s from Emerald Creek and I love it….it really looks like sand! I know that some other companies have since come out with a sand embossing powder, but this was the first one I had ever seen.

I’m often asked what products I’ve used on my cards, so I’ve linked them below, using affiliate links when possible. I couldn’t find the sand embossing powder that I used, so I’ve linked a couple others that I found. When you purchase using one of these links, I may receive a small commission. These help me keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. I thank you very much!

Thanks for stopping by!

Layering Stamp Ideas

By on July 5, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a layering stamp set of Seahorses from the Hedgehog Hollow June 2019 kit.

There are so many beautiful beachy images in this kit: shells, coral, bubbles, fish, etc. But those seahorses really spoke to me! So that is what I used for my very first card make with this kit.

Multi-colored seahorses

I love layering stamps for adding easy color to my cards. Just choose some different shades of ink and start with the lightest color. Then add the darker color over the top for the second layer, and so on. If you don’t have multiple shades, then stamp the ink multiple times to get a darker shade!

I have a process video for you showing you some tips on making LOTS of seahorses for your cards that is oh-so-easy.

Watch it below or on YouTube:

I love using a stamping platform with a ruler for such easy placement and stamping the many layers! So easy and quick.

Those layers!! Solid bottom layer, Detailed second layer in a darker ink

I did fussy cut out these seahorses (above), but the image is easy enough to cut out.

Silver embossed edge

I’m often asked what products I used on my cards, so I’ve compiled a list for you using affiliate links when possible. When you purchase something using these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and bring you more fun projects! Thank you so very much!







I hope I inspired you to try this method on any of your layering stamps! Thanks for stopping by.
