For my first card I had fun with this beautiful Peacock Stencil and my Blending Brushes! I used my Pixie Spray to hold down the stencil and then I grabbed some Gina K. Designs Premium Dye Inks and got to blending! Then I used a piece of Velum and my Mini MISTI and stamped the word Best and heat embossed it. I used my Cut-Align tool to trim it down to a nice small strip to go across my card! I do love that I can easily cut my greeting into small strips.

I then used the word Die – Wishes and cut out the word across the peacock. Then 1 in Black & 3 in white card stock. Glued the words together so they are stacked. I couldn’t get enough of the Peacock and the Blending Brushes so I stenciled some on the inside of the card to dress it up as well. I masked off around the stencil so I could just get the side of the peacock stenciled in and still leave some space to write.

My second card was a fun one to create as well! I started by using Picket Fence Studios Stencil – Pineapple Collage. A piece of White Layering Weight Card Stock and some Pixie Spray – stencil spray. Then I used the Life Changing Brushed and Gina K. Designs Dye Inks to get this stenciled inked up! I love the little brush because I used a smaller one and I was able to get in to the top of the pineapple and add the green color! ❤

I used this panel for a background on my card. I also Die cut a tag and then ran the stencil and the tag through the embossing machine. I did leave a area at the bottom so I could stamp my greeting. I blended some ink on the tag and placed it in my Misti and stamped the greeting “Summer” at the bottom. Then I used the Hello Die and Cut out 3 from a piece of Black Onyx Card Stock and glued them together to give it more dimension.

Hello Summer

Hello and Welcome to Karen's Creative Designs. I have been enjoying making cards for about 6 years now. I started out making Scrapbooks for the Grandkids. Searched You-Tube for techniques for background and found Gina K.Designs. I was hooked and just had to make cards! I have always been one to have a craft of some sort to do. I have done some crochet, jewelry making, pottery, cake making, ect.... you get the picture! I am hooked on card making and I love that it brings a smile to someones face when they receive a handmade card!

  1. Peacocks is wow! No other word came to mind. Wonderful cards, I must get the pineapple and peacock stencils. I agree I will never use anything other than the life changing brushes.

  2. What fun cards! I love both the peacock and the pineapples and your color blending was perfect!

  3. Hi Karen 🙂 Wow! Love the color palettes!!! Tell you the truth I always feel funny with the pineapple designs but this is cool! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

  4. Love both cards! I had not seen the Pixie Spray until Gina used it in her video. I have it added to my wish list 🙂
