DIY Glitter Enamel Hearts | Tutorial

Hi there, I hope you're having a great weekend!

So here it is finally, my DIY Tutorial for the Glitter Enamel Hearts I used on this card. :-)

Step-by-step Tutorial
1. Punch out or die cut your hearts from white card stock. You can use this and this punch.
2. Color your hearts gold with this amazing gold ink. Use this very handy tool to pick up your little hearts.
3. Take a moment to admire your pretty golden hearts. :-)
4. Add some Wink of Stella for extra sparkle. You can skip this step, because the hearts turn out really beautiful with only the gold ink as well.
5. Apply a thick layer of Glossy Accents to make your hearts shiny and dimensional.
6. Wait for the Glossy Accents to dry. When the hearts are clear, they are done!

White Glitter Enamel Hearts
To make white glitter enamel hearts, skip the gold ink and only add the Wink of Stella to your white hearts. Magic happens when Glossy Accents is applied over the Wink of Stella. The glitter and sparkle is so pretty!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and that you try to make some glitter enamel hearts as well! :-) And if you do, I would love to see your projects, so leave me a link or tag me on social media.

Hugs,
Tone

Masculine Love Card with Washi Tape Hearts

My second card is also a masculine one, this time with punched out washi tape hearts.

[Card #1 Masculine Washi Tape Card and Card #3 Gold & Pink CAS Washi Tape Card]

I stamped the background and the heart in different blue inks from Hero Arts. For the hearts I chose some washi tapes from my shop that I though would matched well. To anchor the stamped heart, I added a strip of the With Love Washi Tape.

How to make washi tape heart stickers

To make the hearts, add strips of washi tapes to parchment paper and use heart punches to punch out the shapes. 

Tip: If you're using larger punches, make sure your strips overlap a little so the shapes will not fall apart when you go to add them to your card.

Hugs,

Tone

Washi Tape Valentine's Card

Hello crafty friends!

How are you?

This Valentine's Card is quick and easy to make. All you need is some cute Washi Tape and a stamped sentiment!

I started by taring the ends of each Washi Tape from our Washi Tape Valentine's Set at an angle, then adding them to the card. When I was happy with the placement, I wrapped the loose ends around the edge of the card. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment in Hero Arts Soft Granite shadow ink. A perfect match to the grey Washi!

Washi Tip
Washi Tape is very forgiving to work with because it is repositionable. If you're not happy with how it looks on the card, you can just remove it carefully and try again! :-)

You can now get these three Washi Tapes as a special Valentine's Set for 20% off in my shop WashiTapesNL.

I got creative with the picture this time. What do you think? :-)

Have a wonderful day!

Love,
Tone

Masculine Black & White Love Card

Hi!

Today's card is a masculine "I love you" card that I made for my boyfriend. :-)

Before I started this card, I knew I wanted to used black & white and the Designer Woodgrain, since that's my boyfriend's favorite stamp. ;-) When I saw this fabulous card, I knew the background would be perfect for my card.

The Designer Woodgrain is clear embossed on black card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx black and clear embossed it as well.

Tip: The Versafine ink stays wet just long enough to add embossing powder. You have to be quite quick, though! :-)

I white embossed the little open heart from the Year Round Sentiments set on black card stock and cut it out. The little white hearts are punched out and glued directly onto the background. To add some dimension to the card, I adhered the sentiment strip and the black heart with pop dots.

Thank you so much for visiting! :-)

Hugs,

You're Fabulous

Hi everyone,

Today's card is an updated version of a card I made last year (follow the link to see it). A colleague of mine needed a card for a friend who had just recovered from a serious illness, and she loved the colors and design of this card and the stamp I had used on my Velveteen Stamping Card. So I changed out the background stamp and added the sentiment she wanted.

A little tip
Instead of throwing away the little strip I'm left with after cutting down my stamped panel, I like to add it to the inside of the card. I think it adds a nice finishing touch!

Thank you for visiting! :-)

Hugs,
Tone
