RG Inspired: Cake Layers Bundle: Black and White...EAT CAKE

Hey there inky friends!  I'm back with one more card featuring this weeks fabulous bundle:  Cake Layers!  So what do you think?  Is it a MUST HAVE for you?  I hope I've shown you that this collection of stamp sets is not JUST for birthdays.  Lots and lots of amazing cards can be made for any theme!  

Today's card is totally inspired by RG and his love of Black and White styling!  I thought I'd create a fun card featuring the Confetti Creator background and the striped cake.  Of course I added a little pop of color with the flowers (and some deeeeelish Sugar Drops reinkers!)  They make my images POP with color!  

Thanks for popping over to check out my projects this week.  I'll be back again next week to share some fun new projects and a brand new bundle!  YUM YUM!

Flower Power! RG Studio 360 new bundle: Cake Layers

Hey there inky friends!  I'm back with another fun card created using the newest stamp set/bundle from RG Studio 360.  This bundle "Cake Layers" is not just for Birthdays....Yep.  I said that correctly.  Check out the card I created using the adorable florals!  

To create this card, I started out by making somewhat of a watercolor wash on some Powdered Sugar cardstock.  After I added a mix of colors,  I let it dry and then machine stitched some meandering lines on the paper.  After that, I mounted this stitched panel onto Sour Mist cardstock. 

Next, I used the digital versions of the flowers.  I printed several onto some Powdered Sugar cardstock and then used the Sugar Drops reinkers below and a tiny paintbrush to give them some color.  The watercolor effect these reinkers provide is awesome!  A little drop of ink and some water goes a LONG way! 

After coloring the images, I fussy cut them out and selected a few to add to my card.  

To finish off the card, I added the stitched panel onto Powdered Sugar cardstock and then mounted onto Tangy Grape cardstock.  I attached the sentiment (printed on a circle form in MSWord and fussy cut) and some twine to the card then added the flowers.  SO FUN, so pretty, I think.  

I'll be back again tomorrow with one more fun creation using this bundle.  Hop back over tomorrow to see another TOTALLY RG inspired birthday card.  :)

Make a WISH! RG Studio 360 new bundle: Cake Layers...

Hey there inky friends!  I'm back with another fun birthday creation featuring the new RG Studio 360 bundle Cake Layers.  I used the digi form of this stamp set to create a row of 14 candles (I reversed every other candle to give some "movement".  I printed the candles in a lighter grayscale so that I could make the coloring the focus on this card.  

Now this card is quite unusual for me.  It's definitely NOT an A2 card.  Actually, this card measures 8 1/2 x 4.25 inches.  WOWSERS!  I just had to create a LONG card to fit all those candles!  hee hee...

I colored these images with a small paintbrush and Sugar Drops reinkers.  I love that the reinkers act just like watercolors.  They are vibrant and mix beautifully too!

After coloring, I splattered a bit of blue reinker onto the panel (mostly on the right side) to give it some pizazz and then mounted it onto a yummy Sour Mist panel then attached some super thin twine to the sentiment and strung the sentiment across the page.  Next I added a little colored flower from the Cake Layers set (yes, this set has some awesome flowers and flower clusters too) and mounted this whole panel onto a Powdered Sugar card base.

So fast and fun!

RGStudio360 Bundle: Cake Layers...

Hello there inky friends!  I'm popping in this week to share some cards I created featuring the brand new stamp bundle from RG Studio 360 called Cake Layers.  This bundle includes three fun and festive stamp sets (and coordinating Digi sets) Cake Layers, Confetti Creator Background stamp and Another Adventure sentiment set.  

With this collection, you'll be able to create some awesome birthday cards....and non-birthday cards too!

The first two cards I'm featuring are a partner pair One BOY and one GIRL Birthday card that I creaded using the digital formats of the Cake Layers set.  To create the design, I pulled the cake images that I felt were giving the perfect Boy/Girl vibe and placed them offset on a rectangle I laid out in MS Word.  After that, I dropped in the Birthday, and the Boy and Girl sentiments then printed the designs. 

Next, I colored the images with a paintbrush and RG Studio 360 Sugar Drops reinkers.  Yes, coloring these images with reinkers is the perfect way to add color!  Give it a try.  After coloring, I used a few Copic markers to create the confetti backgrounds and the shadowing.  I layered the images onto color coordinating paper and mounted them on white card bases.  You might notice that I brushed a bit of white acrylic pint on the background panels too...Just an added touch to pull some additional texture in.

Right before saying "D.O.N.E.".  I pulled out some Nuvo Gitter drops and added a bit of sparkle (and bling for the girl card) to each card, added some Hemptique twine and tucked in a 20 dollar bill to make those kiddos smile!  :)

At the request of a visitor, I'm including the measurements of my layers.  Since both cards are created with the same layout, I am providing an image (with measurements in inches) of the girl card.  Both cards measure the same. 

Hope you enjoyed this set of cards today.  I'll be back again tomorrow with a few more cards featuring this bundle.
