The Ton’s Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to The Ton's Spring 2018 Release Blog hop! I have two cards to share with you today featuring two of their brand new stamp sets! 

The Ton has 14 new stamps, coordinating dies and 5 standalone dies for their new Spring 2018 Release which includes up to two free gifts with purchases (GWP). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog. New release products can be purchased now and all new release orders will begin to ship on Monday, April 9.

My first card uses a really beautiful new stamp set called Beautiful Betas! This se,t you stamp four different layers and then you are just blown away! My husband even made a big deal about how cool this card was. That's a lot folks! :) Anyway, I used some of the beautiful inks from the ton to stamp these. The colors I used on the top fish are Plum Wine, Grand Fuchsia, Orchid Crush, Iris Blooms, and Violet Fringe. 

On the second fish I used: Cali Blue, Azurite, Deep Sapphire, and Grape Crush.

The seaweed was stamped with Lofty Mint, Bright Emerald, and Soft Garden.

After I was done with the stamping, I blended a little of the same inks onto the background and splattered with a tiny bit of white ink. The sentient was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black card stock, cut out, and adhered with foam tape.

***

My next card is using the Large Dahila stamp set. I stamped it with waterproof black ink onto watercolor paper. I then used Peerless watercolors, wet my paper completely, then dropped color and let them blend. After they dried, I splattered with the same colors and then some white ink.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Betas stamp set. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder onto black card stock, cut it out, and adhered it with foam tape. 

Stamps featured on my cards:

Beautiful Betas
Large Dahila

The Ton’s 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop 1/19

Hi all!

I am excited to be joining The Ton for their 3rd Anniversary Release Blog hop! They are having a mini blog hop each day until January 26 to showcase the amazing new products this month!

The Ton has 23 new stamps for their Third Anniversary Release which includes up to two free gifts with purchase (Daisy Duet and Peony Notes Bundle A+B+C). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog HERE. All new release products are available now!  

I am happy to be starting it off sharing a couple of cards I made with the Painted Peonies stamp set and Riotous Wildflowers.

This card I stamped with the Painted Peonies stamp set. It is a three step stamping process which creates these gorgeous peonies! I used two shades of pink and then red for my darkest. I stamped the leaves around in grays, and then went around the whole group with a grayish purple Copic marker. 

After I was done with all of the coloring, I speckled the card with some of the same color inks that I used for stamping. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in gray ink, and mounted my panel onto a top folded A2 size card base.

***

This card was created with a beautiful background stamp called Riotous Wildflowers. I stamped it onto white card stock and colored the flowers with Copic markers. I did a pretty quick coloring here, sketch shading with only two colors for the flowers and leaves. 

The sentiment I embossed with white embossing powder onto black card stock, cut it out and mounted it with foam tape.

The products I have used for my two cards are linked below:

Painted Peonies
Riotous Wildflowers

For my first card I used the gorgeous new Holly Branch set. In this set, there are the outline stamps which I used here, and there are also solid stamps you can use along with the outlines or by themselves. I stamped everything in waterproof black ink and watercolored it with Peerless watercolors.

After everything was dry I splattered some of the same color green watercolor paint around.


***

For my second card, I used the Holiday Love Poinsettia stamp set. I stamped it with black ink, then colored it with a combination of Copic markers and Prismacolor Colored pencils. 

After I was done coloring, I splattered it with some white acrylic paint.

The Ton’s Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop

Hello! I am thrilled to be joining the Ton's Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop! They have some absolutely gorgeous new products!

My first card uses the gorgeous set called Fresh Cut Anemones and Wave. I have to tell you that Wave is SO cool! It has three layers of stamping and just looks amazing when it's all done! 

I stamped the wave first and the sentiment. Then I stamped the flowers and leaves, and fussy cut those out. I adhered them with foam tape, then cut them off flush with the edge of the card.

***

My next card uses a beautiful new set called Watercolor Wreath. It has the flowers already arranged in a wreath you can just stamp, or single flowers to create your own wreath or arrangement. I used the single flowers and leaves here.

I used Master's Touch watercolor paper and Distress inks. I stamped all of the flowers and leaves, and then took a wet brush and a little more of the inks, and went around each flower to create a watercolor look. I let each color dry before starting the next one to keep some of the colors from mixing together. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Wave stamp set and adhered that to the center of the card with foam tape, then added a few sequins to finish it up!

The Ton has 24 new stamps for their new Summer 2017 Release which includes up to four free gifts with purchases. For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog HERE. All new release products are available now!

The Ton's Spring 2017 Release Blog Hop

Hello! I am thrilled to be joining the Ton's Spring 2017 Release Blog hop! They have 18 gorgeous new stamp sets and 13 new dies sets! All of their new products are available now in the store at The Ton HERE! There are prizes to be won too, so be sure to scroll down to the bottom for details!

I'm using a beautiful new set called Wishful Wildflowers for my first card. I stamped the images in waterproof black ink and used my Zig Clean Color brush markers and water to watercolor them. 

The sentiment is stamped in the same black ink and it is from the new stamp set Pragmatic Wreaths.

Using some of the same colors that I watercolored the flowers with, I speckled around the images. I also added some tiny white dots with acrylic paint, and added some Rain Stones for accents.

For my next card, I used the beautiful new Fresh Cut Sunflowers stamp set. These are really so pretty and detailed! I used three shades of aqua for each flower and did the centers and leaves with gray.

I used the MISTI to stamp everything as the flowers are done with three layers, creating such a beautiful dimensional flower. I also lightly stamped some of the flowers in the background along with some of the tiny flowers from Pragmatic Wreaths.

I mounted my stamped background onto a white card base and adhered a strip of gray card stock across the center with the sentiment stamped on it. The sentiment is also from the Pragmatic Wreaths set. I added some accents with white Nuvo Crystal Drops.
