Split Card Design with Sophia Bouquets

Hi, everyone it’s Lynnea! I have another video to share with you using the May card kit from The Hedgehog Hollow! This box is amazing and it sold out super quickly, so make sure you head over to the online store and sign up for a subscription so you won’t miss out on the next one!

I’m going to JunkieFest at the end of the month (who’s going with me!?) and I need to make a bunch of thank you cards. I want to make them clean and simple – but I want them each to be a little different. I decided to grab the Sophia Bouquets stamps and create some simple split designs.

The box came with 5 colors of cardstock – but I’ve already used the coral, so I used the remaining 4 colors for these cards. I used my MISTI and stamped the large bouquet with Versamark ink onto all 4 pieces of cardstock and heat embossed the images with white powder. Then I held my breath and closed my eyes and chopped all of them in half! ….ish…. haha! I cut about a third off the top – maybe about an inch and a half. The embossing wasn’t standing out enough, so I used some matching colors of Distress Inks and blended on a bit of ink to each piece so that the embossing would stand out. I also added some black ink spatters.

I arranged each of the pieces of cardstock so that every card would be different and added a black strip of cardstock across the “cutting edge” where the two pieces meet. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and some clear glitter to the black cardstock. Here’s my process video!

One Layer Sophia Borders Card Set

Hi! I’m just so in love with the Sophia Borders stamp set from the May 2019 box from The Hedgehog Hollow! These large border stamps are gorgeous! I’ve used them on previous projects, but this one might be my favorite! I used some simple masking and emboss resist and I love the results! Find the process video at the end of this post!

All of these cards are simple to make and they’re one layer! That makes them super easy for mailing! I plan to make a whole set of these to package together and give as a gift!

I stamped the floral border from the Sophia Borders stamp set near the top of my card and heat embossed it with white powder. Then I used Purple Tape to mask off the bottom two thirds-ish of my card and blended on some inks. I love the way the white embossing powder pops out as I add color!

Originally I had planned for the embossing to come off of the bottom of this card, but I liked it better at the top, so I flipped it and added a simple stamped sentiment!

There are two long floral stamps in the stamp set – I used one each on both of the cards above and decided to use both of them for my last card. I kept a white center and stamped the sentiment in the middle! You can see my whole process in the video below!

Thanks so much for watching! See you next time!

Simple Watercolored Floral Border Card

Hey, everyone! I have a super simple watercolored card to share with you using the Sophia Borders stamp set in the May 2019 box from The Hedgehog Hollow!

This card is truly simple and can be made in just a few minutes! A perfect design for when you need a card quick and now! I started by positioning both of the border stamps from the Sophia Borders stamp set onto a card base and stamped with the black Nuvo Hybrid ink from the April box.

I smooshed down some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink onto my work surface and mixed in a bit of water and colored over the images creating a small halo of color. I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment onto a strip of the coral cardstock from the box and trimmed it down to about 1/2 an inch and foam mounted it onto the center of my card.

I love how simple this card is but the pop of coral really packs a punch! Thanks for joining me! See you soon!

Rainbow Watercolored Background

Hey, everyone! I am absolutely in LOVE with the three stamp sets in the May 2019 box from The Hedgehog Hollow! The detailed floral images are gorgeous! I hope you enjoy this watercolored background and heat embossed bouquet card!

I watercolored a striped background with the Prima Watercolor Confections Pastel Dreams set. I planned to just have a few stripes across the middle, but I ended up painting the whole rainbow and I love how it turned out!

I originally stamped and white heat embossed the image from the Sophia Bouquets stamp set directly onto my watercolored background. I tried to double stamp the image and I moved my paper and messed up my image. No problem! I stamped and white heat embossed the bouquet onto a piece of black cardstock and fussy cut around the outline. I mounted it with foam tape and placed it right over my botched embossed image. I stamped my favorite sentiment from the Sophia Frames stamp set to finish off the card.

I totally LOVE how the black with white embossing looks on top of the rainbow watercoloring! Check out my video below!

Thanks for watching!

Clean and Simple Sophia Frames Card

Hey, all! It’s Lynnea! It’s obviously no secret that The Hedgehog Hollow has AMAZING monthly kits, but this one is one of my FAVORITES so far! And it must be one of yours too because it’s already sold out! How crazy is that! Make sure you head over to The Hedgehog Hollow shop and sign up for a subscription because next month is even better and I bet it will sell out just as quickly!

This month’s box is packed FULL with 3 stamp sets, chipboard words, cardstock, envelopes, and if you’re a regular subscriber there’s an awesome stencil, too! I am in LOVE with the Sophia Frames stamp set and this floral frame in particular! It has a ‘happy birthday’ sentiment in the middle, but I used some scissors and easily cut out the center of the frame so that I could stamp just the flowers using some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink.

I used the ‘hugs’ chipboard piece and used Versamark ink and three layers of WOW black embossing powder to give it some raised shine. I stamped a coordinating sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the bottom right corner of my floral frame to balance the image and called it a day! I LOVE the elegant simplicity of the frame! Thanks for stopping by!
