SSS Hop To It – Cross

Hello crafty friends, happy Wednesday!
EASTER! Easter is almost amongst us!! So, today I made Easter cards with Simon Says Stamps Hop To It products again.

My first card here:
YoonsunHur-20150325-SSSHopToIt01As I mentioned before, I love SSS Cross die so much!

To create the card:
1)For the Cross: I sponged on the white cardstock with Distress ink Vintage Photo using blending tool and stamped Hero Arts Woodgrain Background on the inked panel using Distress ink Walnut Stain and die cut the Cross from the stamped paper. 2)I stamped Artful Flowers on the watercolour panel using VersaMark Embossing ink and white heat embossed at the top and bottom side of the panel. 3)I coloured the flowers with Distress markers using detailed waterbrush –Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Mustard Seed. 4)I die cut the bottom side of the coloured panel using Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 2 Dies and layered with blue & wood stamped paper together. 5)I mounted the Cross in the middle of the panel using dimensional foam tape and added some clear sequins for finishing touches.

YoonsunHur-20150325-SSSHopToIt02I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
(John 11: 25-26)

My second card here:
YoonsunHur-20150325-SSSHopToIt03To create the card:
I used Grid Stencil for my own background -I am so in love with this stencil!! 1)I layered grid stencil over the watercolour panel and blended with Distress inks in rainbow order using blending tool –Festive Berries, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves– and then added some water droplets on the background. 2)Once dry, I cut 2 part from the coloured background and put sentiment panel between them -I used Hand Lettered Encouragement stamp set for the sentiment. There are lots of great encouraging sentiments in this set. 3)To finish it off, I die cut the small sized cross from the white cardstock and affixed it right up on the sentiment panel using dimensional foam tape and added some clear sequins.

Flower garden

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Today I’m popping in to share my card for entering Hero Arts Nature Challenge!
nature-challenge
Here is what I came up with:
YoonsunHur-20150320-01Some of my crafty friends may know that I love watercolouring and flowers!! Hero Arts Flower Garden Stamp set is so very beautiful and I couldn’t resist making card with watercolours! I love subtle watercolouring technique as much as no-line colouring.

To create the card, 1)I positioned flower stamps upper side of the watercolour panel and mounted the entire design on a large stamp press. 2)I stamped them using VersaMark Embossing ink and white heat embossed. I repeated it bottom side of the panel. 3)I applied clean water the embossed panel using a wide brush first and then coloured around the embossed images with Distress ink Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, and Mustard Seed. 4)For the sentiment, I stamped it from Hero Arts Night and Day Flowers using VersaMark Embossing ink and gold heat embossed. 5)I added Zig wink of Stella clear over the coloured panel. 6)Mixed clear sequins were the finishing touches.

SSS Hop To It – Easter card

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
On this weekend, I want to share with you my Easter themed cards using SSS Hop To It Artful Flowers Stamp Set.

My first card here:
YoonsunHur-20150314-SSSHopToIt01I love every Hop To It product but especially, the crosses. SSS Cross dies are not fancy. It captures the Cross exactly how it looks like. But I believe, that is what makes the cross look more graceful and beautiful!

For my first card, I was inspired by fabulous Debby‘s amazingly beautiful card with Artful flower stamp set. 1)I stamped Artful Flowers on the watercolour paper panel using VersaMark Embossing Ink Pad and white heat embossed. I used some post-it notes to mask the flower images to stamp them overlapping. 2)I coloured the flowers with Distress markers as always :D –Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, and Dried Marigold. 3)I die cut a cross -largest one- from my coloured panel and lifted it up with a dimensional foam tape. 4)Some clear sequins were the finishing touches.

My second card here:YoonsunHur-20150314-SSSHopToIt04It was the same way with my cross card but, ‘Easter’ word at the centre of the flowers instead of a cross.

Easter -The Resurrection Day- is a very important day for Christians like me! I praise God for allowing me to express the love of Jesus Christ through this amazing hobby I have found.

That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Christmas Sweater

TGIFriday! Today I want to show two different ways to use 1 background stamp cards.

First card: Using emboss resist technique. 20141031-01I stamped the background with the Stampendous Christmas Sweater Square Stamp and then heat embossed it in white (Ranger Seaform White) and covered it with red coloured distress inks.

Second card: Watercolor Background Stamping 20141031-02First I inked the Stampendous Christmas Sweater Square Stamp using several distress inks – Fired Brick, Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Tea Dye – and then spritzed the inked background stamp with water. I then laid the watercolour paper panel on top of the inked background stamp.

Here is a detailed view: 20141031-03 20141031-04
