Hi card making friends I have a NEW CARD MAKING VIDEO – Elevate Your Die Cut Cards with Distress Oxide Ink Blending to share with you today.  I’m using the NEW Fresh Picked release from Spellbinders for today’s video and I’ve created 4 different cards to share.  Adding ink blending to your die cuts will add shadows, depth of field and beautiful contrasts to your cards.

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. See below for my full disclosure.

Starting the process by using colored cardstock also speeds up this process.  However, you can always cut everything from white cardstock and ink blend the entire piece too.  If you do decide to do that, I would highly recommend using a Waffle Flower Grip Mat so you don’t tear any of the pieces.

I won’t go into a pile of detail here as it’s all on the video, but below you will find card stock and ink choices for each of the cards and then the video walking you through the creating of all of them.

Elevate Your Die Cut Cards #1 – Daffodils

Card stock Used:  Spellbinders:  White, Black, Chamomile, Peridot and Mirror Gold.

Ink Used:  Spiced Marmalade and Mowed Lawn

Start with a black background cut at 4″ x 5-1/2″, spritz both sides with the new Mighty Mister Spray Bottle before placing inside the Columns Embossing Folder.

Next, attach the strip of black and white pattern paper down the left side of the A2 card base, then attach the embossed card front.

Then, Ink blend all the pieces using Spiced Marmalade and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink and Spellbinders blending brushes.

Finally, glue all the pieces together and add them to the card front.  Die cut the sentiment three times, twice in green and once in gold.  Stack and attach to the card.

 

Elevate Your Die Cut Cards #2 – Buttercups

Card Stock Used:  White, Black, Waterfall, Peridot, and Pink.

Distress Oxide Ink Used:  Picked Raspberry and Mowed Lawn.

Steps are similar to card one however the background is not embossed on this card.

The flower centers are cut with the solid piece in pink and the overlay with the holes in it in black.  It makes the flowers very dramatic.

Elevate Your Die Cuts #3 – Anemones

Card Stock Used:  Cosmic Sky, Teal Topaz, Waterfall, Rainforest, Peridot, Sun kissed, Black, Brushed gold.

Distress Oxide Ink Used:  Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Prize Ribbon

Again, similar steps, this time cut an additional small flower for the inside of the card.

Elevate Your Die Cut Cards #4 – Berries

Card Stock Used:  White, Blue Spruce, Rain Forest, Lilac Blossom, Purple Mist, Gold.

Distress Oxide Ink Used:  Wilted Violet, and Pine Needles.
