Hello Pink and Main Fans! It’s Rachelle from Red Cre8s and I’ve got a Sushi Party to share today! I am totally in LOVE with the new “Roll With It” Stamp and Die Set! So much so that I had to stop myself after I made the four cards that I’m going to show you today (and I’ve still got ideas for about half dozen more cards in my sketchbook!) I started by stamping all of the images multiple times with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink onto 100# white card stock. The images were then water colored and/or fussy – die cut.
For the first card, I stenciled the Petite Petals Pattern with Black Soot DOI onto red card stock and spattered the panel with gold paint. I used the largest of the Nested Hexagon Dies to cut an omit into the stenciled panel. I lightly ink blended the outer edges of a top-folding A2 card base with Scattered Straw DOI and added strips of black and gold metallic papers at the bottom. The stenciled panel was backed with craft foam and adhered to the card front. I attached the die cut images and the heat embossed sentiment strip into place with glue and/or foam tape.
I just love this red/black/gold color palette and those cute Kawaii images!!!
The second card is based on a photo I saw of sushi being served on a woven bamboo mat. I used the Sunburst Slimline Die and die cut kraft card stock multiple times. This gave me lots of 1/8” strips, which I used to create the mat. Once it was assembled, I glued it onto a white card stock panel measuring 4” x 5.25” and trimmed the overhang with scissors. This panel was adhered to a top-folding black A2 card base, the die cuts were attached with foam tape and I carefully stamped the sentiment using the MISTI; a few gems were added for a bit of bling!
Card #3 is a bright all-occasion design and I once again used the Petite Petals Stencil with Twisted Citron DOI to create a vertical band along the right side of the layout. This panel (3.75” x 5”) was heavily sprayed with shimmer mist and spattered with lime green pearlized paint. Some of the die cuts were glued directly onto the panel and the rest were popped up with foam tape. I used a partial sentiment from the Spring Sentiments Stamp Set and stamped it using the MISTI. I added some of the new All Occasion Glitter Enamel Dots and glued the top panel onto a top-folding A2 card base.
The last card is a small appetizer plate filled with sushi goodness! I spattered a piece of red card stock with gold paint/Candy Apple DOI and fussy cut the triangular shape to use as my plate. A piece of black card stock was glued onto a top-folding horizontal A2 card base and striped paper was added onto both sides. After spattering a white card stock panel (3.75” x 5”) with gold paint, it was glued to the card front. The plate was attached with foam tape first and the sushi die cuts were added on top. The chop sticks were glued directly to the panel and the sentiment was stamped using the MISTI. A few matte gold sequins finished up my final card!
Thanks so much for sticking with me for this longer-than-usual post! I’ve got a few more details over on my blog if you would like to see my reference photos and initial sketches! This new release has so many wonderful images and I hope you will be inspired by all of the creative Design Team projects found on Pink and Main’s Facebook and Instagram Pages!
Have a great day and take care! Rachelle : )
Yum! Lets have a meal together!
