Backgrounds and Borders BLOG HOP with Tonic Studios

I was excited to create with these stamps and dies. There are such bold, graphic options in this set so I used a few of my favorite techniques to make some fun cards.

Color Blocking

I love this technique! If you follow me you know that I use it often. I like to mask off areas of my card front and then ink blend onto it, creating a fun color block look. I get inspired to choose certain colors by searching mood boards online. For this card, I used a coral color and a peach.

After I was done ink blending, I used the large sentiment dies from the set to cut out the words, and turn them into a shaker sentiment by adding a clear plastic window and filling with sequins. Fun!

I also added some details around my sentiment by stamping the graphic triangles and adding some of the perforating dies for some additional texture. Love how this one turned out!

Jumbled Up

I love that you can use the negative and positive cut outs from these sentiment dies. I used the left over letters from the first card on my second one. I decided to arrange the letters in an interesting way along the side of the card.

Again, I used the perforation dies to add some textured circles- some popped up on foam. The background is again ink blended and the black striped were stamped. Very simple, but a fun and interesting design!

Tiny Shaker

This last card was probably the most fun for me to make. I paired the hexagon design stamp with a bright yellow because it reminded me of honeycomb. I love that the set has so many coordinating pieces, so I was also able to fill in some of the honeycombs with a solid black stamp. I also added the perforating die to a few of the hexagon spaces, and cut out a few hexagon windows to add a shaker to.

I reused a few of those hexagon cutouts and popped them up on foam adhesive for a little dimension.

The letters for the sentiment were die cut and a supporting sentiment stamped.
