Recently, one of our Facebook friends requested to see some ink blending in conjunction with a background stamp from a card she saw by our Brand Ambassador Kristie Goulet. I loved the inspiration card and decided to demonstrate this fun technique on a Facebook Live Stream. You can see the Replay here!

Using Orange Peel, Rogue and Sangria, I ink blended my background. I then stamped the LIght as a Feather Background Stamp in black over the background piece.

Using Kristie's card as inspiration, I cut out a heart and embellished with an emboss-dipped feather die cut. I used the off-cut heart to create a second card. A two-for-one is always a winner, just like this gorgeous background technique! I hope you are inspired by these cards, thanks for stopping by!

With our Color Made Easy system, picking colors and patterns is a snap! Grab a pack of our Patterned Paper and the Ink colors listed on the front of the pack for a great start to your next paper crafting projects.

Brand Ambassador,Emily Leiphart, used a wonderful color combo on her Club Sursee cards, pulled straight from our Bright Ideas Slimline Paper Pack!

Emily used the Take Flight Stamp Set and Dies and ink blended Green Tea and Juniper Mist on the stamps for a beautiful focal point of the card. She added a strip of the Bright Ideas patterned paper to the bottom of the card to tie the Green Tea in perfectly..

A simple card design using only two inks, this card packs a visual punch. I really like the little diamond stamps as an accent strip.

Then she made this card using the same colors from the paper pack but without any paper accent. I love the gradient effect she achieved on her card by inking her butterflies in multiple colors.

Our paper packs also generally have a coordinating sequin mix. Menlo Park draws from the blues, greens and pops of yellow in this combo and are a perfect compliment with or without the paper!

Here is another clean and simple card she created with this color combo. This is such a classy card and with just such subtile pop of color.

With one color combo, you can also get inspired for a different combo! Switch up from Spa to Party ink colors and take the card in a different direction.

Here Ilina traded Pink Champagne for It's a Girl, Green Tea for Ink the Park and Skylight for Cummerbund. She added some warmth with Bellini and kept the Sauna in the mix. These two cards feature the same products from Club Sursee and bring a new result!

Why not try pulling color combo inspo from a paper pack or kick it up a notch and switch a favorite Spa Color Combo with Party Colors? What a fun way to get your juices flowing in your crafty space! View all our patterned paper packs here and see what inspires you!

I'm a sucker for stencil techniques and added sparkle on my cards. Put stenciling and glitter these together for endless possibilities for adding sparkle to your cards!

Embossing glitter and sequins are my go-to for adding that sparkly pop but recently I was playing with adding sparkly accents by stenciling with gold and glittery mediums. I got a bit obsessed with it and had so much fun creating these cards that we put an inspiration download together for you!

CLICK HERE to download this inspiration guide which includes the cards in this post, along with a few more to inspire you! Pull it up on your computer or tablet and take it with you for inspiration during your next crafting session!

We carry a variety of stencils and mediums in the shop like Glacier and glimmer pastes, glitter gels and pastes. Most of these mediums work for a variety of stencil techniques. Lay down your stencil and smooth the medium over top evenly with a palette knife. Peel back the stencil and reveal the patterned result!

My first set of cards featured the Scattered Circles Stencil and the Chatterbox Background Stamp. I started with my background stamped image in black. This Stencil Technique looks great over a white background or ink blending over the background.

For the white background I stenciled with a few colors before adding the medium; moving the stencil slightly to create a confetti effect! I finished these cards off in the same way with an embossed sentiment and bear! (I mean, how darling is that giant bear under the tiny umbrella? so cute!!!)

I made a couple of other background technique pieces. I did a direct to paper swipe of Uptown on one and Glam on the other. I love the rich, vibrant color of these technique pieces!

Then using the Flourish & Whimsy Stencil and the Leopard Print Slimline Stencil, I worked on the magic sauce! Glacier paste on one and glitter paste on the other. I love how the glitter paste used over the Glam wicked up a bit of the ink and created a tone-on-tone feel to the pattern.

I cut these Painted Leaf Dies from some other similar technique pieces I had made. One used the Star Stencil. I just adore how these leaves came out and they make such a gorgeous pop of color and sparkle to these clean and simple cards!

Check out This Download to see how I finished off the Uptown stenciled background.

The African safari animals in the Take a Peek Stamp Set are ready for action! These adorable critters can peek on to your next card in a variety of ways. Let's take a peek at some of the too cool background layers the brand ambassadors created with their cards!

This stunner from Erin has a Luxe Ink blended background with water flicks. She clear embossed the half circle background stamp over the technique piece to add additional texture, pattern and a bit of shine! Wowza! This looks great with a black and white zebra popped over the top.

I love how Daniel used the Wavy Lines Stencil on these two cards. One has a funky rainbow color blended combo which really creates some fun movement for his card.

He uses some off-cuts from his Postage Stamp Dies to create some savannah grasses- how cute! His other card has the blend of Flame, Glitz, and Martini for a warm and more organic look. Do you see how he extended the neck of the giraffe with his layout?!? Way to stretch your stamps!

Erin chose to layer up the Across the Globe Patterned Paper on this one. She also added a slight trim with some Glitz Embossing Glitter. All of our patterned papers mix and match so nicely and this is a great backdrop for her hippo to be front and center!

Kristie also chose some patterned paper for her giraffe card. Keeping the simplicity of mostly black and white for the rest of the card, the pattern is really a star on this card and almost creates a jungle for Miss Giraffe.

I hope these fabulous cards inspire your next card creation! All products are linked below!

Our friends at WOW! Embossing Powder have done it again!! Meet the newest CP inspired EP's from WOW!- Glitz, Uptown and Dress Blues. Inspired by the Luxe Inks of the same name, these new embossing glitters bring the luscious, rich, and glittery pizazz you need for your next card creation.

The three new Embossing Glitters combine the shades of yellow, green blue and deep blue in Glitz, Uptown and Dress Blues with loads of iridescent sparkle. You can use them directly on your white card stock for a subtile look or over a swipe or stamp of the coordinating ink for a bolder pop!

Here is just a little sneaky peek of some of the cards you will see in today's Insta Hop!

Creating a Thank You card for a loved one is a perfect way to express gratitude and appreciation. In this post, we'll look at some fabulous Thank You Cards creating by our Brand Ambassadors.

With the World of Thanks Stamp Set you can say “thank you” in a variety of languages from Swedish to Swahili!

Brand Ambassador extraordinaire Erin, made this bright thank you card. She embossed a variety of the sentiments on vellum and layered it over a beautifully blended background created with the Wavy Lines Stencil. I love the rainbow she created on the background with our new Luxe Inks. and check out that Dress Blues Embossing Glitter!!

Daniel added global flair by using different stamps from the World of Thanks. He created this set of cute thank you cards. The peeking safari animal stamps in the Take a Peek Stamp Set are perfect as stars of the card.

Kristie created this beautiful rainbow of Luxe Inks by stamping “obrigado” multiple times! Adding a stamped and die cut cheetah was the perfect way to finish it off. The bright pop of coordinating color from the Across the Globe Patterned Paper pack ties it all together.

The strip of patterned paper on the side of the card really ties everything together. Using CP Designs Patterned Paper makes it easy to choose your ink colors for the rest of the card.

Color Made Easy with Pattern Paper

When you use the Across the Globe Patterned Paper, just grab your new Luxe Inks and you'll be all set to create a perfectly coordinated thank you card! Use one pattern as a background or add a strip along the side, like Kristie did, to add some serious ooomph to your projects.

You card recipients will send a big grazie your way when you send them a beautiful thank you card. Check the links below to view these products in the shop!

The Half Circle Cover Plate Die cuts out a random pattern of slightly wonky half circles.  This mod geometric pattern will add funky texture to your card base and works along with our Half Circle Background Stamp for adding another level of color possibilities.

Let's check out how some of our Brand Ambassadors used these two cool layer-able tools!

Daniel worked some ink blending magic on this one. Dress Blues to Glam create a dark, rich night sky effect behind the white Half Circle Cover Plate cut out. Pop on a sentiment and a couple of sequins and this card is inky perfection.

Melissa used the Half Circle Background Stamp here on this little notecard by inking it in multiple colors and adding a bit of water into the mix for a more textured, artsy feel. Look at that vibrant color!

How cute is this shaker from Erin? Mr. Giraffe is the star of this card. Behind her window layer, she used a piece of patterned paper from our Across the Globe pack. The Half Circle Cover Plate is a perfect shaker top layer as it creates many windows!

Ilina created double the fun with these two. She created a stunning watercolored rainbow with her CP inks on watercolor cardstock. She then ran that through her die cutting machine with the Half Circle Cover Plate and used both the die cut and the negative shapes to create two backgrounds. What a pairing!

This last one uses the Half Circle Background Stamp. She created rows of color and then embellished that by using her cover plate to dry emboss. I love how cheerful this color combo is with the black and white contrast. This cover plate and background stamp will get miles of card making use!

We are having so much fun creating these fun and vibrant cards with our Global Adventure Collection, we hope they are inspiring you! Stay tuned to the blog, social media and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed!

Add a rainbow flair with Catherine Pooler Inks to the Folk Art Background Stamp!

The Folk Floral Background Stamp will create a whole panel for your card to color in with your favorite bright CP inks or you could emboss this and blend some color over top.  Inspired by traditional folk art, you are going to love this beautiful background stamp.

Melissa made this notecard sized pairing of gorgeousness. She white embossed the envelope and card base and then blended a breathtaking rainbow of Luxe Ink color over top. What a bright and happy day this card will bring someone!

On this one, she did a similar effect but used water with her CP inks on watercolored cardstock to give a softer edge. The way the colors meld together is so eye pleasing. The sentiment from the We Fit Stamp Set is all this card needed to be complete.
