{Technique Tuesday} April 2018 Release Countdown: Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of Technique Tuesday's April 2018 Release Countdown! The design team is featuring a variety of release products and you're sure to love them so be sure to head over to the Technique Tuesday blog for the full reveal and links to all of the amazing projects. All of the product links will go live on April 1, 2018 for your shopping pleasure.

Today, I'm showcasing Planner Beauty, combined with Sassy Girl Thoughts and a couple of add-on sentiments from Flowers For Her. I used many images from both Planner Beauty and Sassy Girl Thoughts. They're such fun sets and, if you don't use a planner, can easily be used for cards!

The butterflies are from Grandma Blessings. I stamped the butterfly with watermark ink on vellum and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I die cut the glitter white butterfly with the coordinating die and attached to the panel with two staples from a tiny attacher.

See you tomorrow for Release Day!

Since it's Easter weekend, I wanted to share a card using Bailey the Bunny but I also wanted to share how to use this set for a non-Easter card. This adorable sentiment is perfect for an every day friendship card featuring sweet Bailey.

I tucked Bailey amongst flowers from Flowers For Her. All flowers and leaves were heat embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder on vellum and I added white cardstock behind the flowers so they could be layered without a see-through mess. The leaves were left as a single vellum layer.

I coloured Bailey's ears and nose with a white pencil and since I don't have the coordinating dies for this set, I trimmed him with scissors. I made two of these cards since they were easy to make and I'm sure I can find two friends to send them to. ;)

See you tomorrow for Day 2 of the April Release Countdown!

Today, I'm showcasing the Just Us Girls stamp set and coordinating dies with a scripted word from the Flowers For Her stamp set. All of the flowers and main sentiment are from Just Us Girls and the scripted 'smile' is an add-on from Flowers For Her. 

I fell in love with Just Us Girls as soon as I saw it and it's sure to become one of my go-to favourites for encouragement cards. The large corner stamp is absolutely stunning and I love that all of the flowers have individual die cuts for layering. You can layer all of the flowers as I have on the bottom of the card or add single die cuts to pop up individual flowers.

The flowers were stamped with grey pigment ink and heat embossed with sparkle embossing powder.  The sentiment was stamped with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I watercoloured all of the flowers with distress inks and I painted the frame in bundled sage and evergreen bough to coordinate with the leaves. To finish, I embellished with sparkling clear sequins.

See you tomorrow for Day 2 of the April Release Countdown!
