Sweater Vest Dies Cards with Mona and Franci

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you a funny card with the Sweater Vest Die and Breakfast Puns stamp set.

I started the card making with die-cutting. I made the card front from blue cardstock and ran it through the Cable Knit embossing folder. Next I made the other vest elements from mustard yellow cardstock and adhered them to the right place.

The next step was stamping and coloring. I stamped the images with the Breakfast Puns stamp set and colored them with my Copic Markers. After the coloring I fussy cut them.

I styled the colored images on the card, and made "the vest" words with Loopy Letter Dies from the same mustard cardstock.

I added a white embossed sentiment to the center of my card and added some shiny and sparkly tiny stars and sequins.

I really love the result, I hope you too. Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you want to see how my card works, check my Instagram for the video. :)

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with a summer card full of ... bikinis!! I'm so excited to show you this project because it's a super fun chance to stretch your supplies and create something that's completely different :)

I'm in love. With the design, the size, the colors, the details ... it's all so much fun!

Can you believe it I created my bikinis with the Sweater Vest set?! Yeah, I can tell you! I also used the Loopy Letters for some details and I'm so happy about these turned out!

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and I cut out a slightly smaller panel that I masked and colored by sponging Distress Inks to create this fun and colorful design. I also let the ink completely dry, I stamped my sentiments from the Fabulous Flamingos set and the Happy Thoughts one, and then I added some sprakle watercolors little splatters here and there. 

I die cut all my bikini tops and bottom out of some of the new Summer Splash papers and more out of white cardstock. I used the little shirt collar die for all the tops and the v-neck one for all the bottoms, then I also die cut additional tops or bows to decorate my bikinis! It was so much fun, Project Runway I'm ready! Ha!

I also added more details as the die cut "bow centers" that were foiled in gold and also epaulets and laces that were die cut out of white cardstock using the Loopy Letters dies.

Can you find the number 7 as a decor in one of the bottoms?! And the epaulets are all F letters! There are sooooo many combinations possible and hope you'll have fun creating your own bikini design following my card as inspiration! 

To complete my project I finally glued down all my swimsuits with foam adhesive and added some clear sparkle sequins.

I really hope you enjoy this card and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

Surprise Party Paper Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi everyone! Angelica here, and I have a fun project to share today. I LOVE the Surprise Party paper pack. Every paper is so vibrant! They're double sided, filled with bright celebration patterns on one side, and tone-on-tone patterns on the back. I used the tone-on-tone sides for my card today.

I stamped five 2-layered star balloons from the Bold Balloons Stamp set.  I used the coordinating die to cut them out, then added shimmer and Crystal Glaze for shine.

On the top side of a horizontal 8.5 X 4.25 card base, I stamped confetti from the same stamp set. Next I positioned the balloons where I wanted them on the card base, and marked their spots. I used a multiliner pen and a T-ruler to draw balloon strings from the marked spots to the middle of the card base. 

I cut a thin strip of black card stock, and glued it where the balloon strings stopped. I used the Happy die to die cut black card stock 4 times, then stacked and glued them for height. I cut 3/8 inch strips of pattern paper, then glued the strips under the black line, using a grid to keep my strips straight. 

Once the balloons were dry, I adhered them with foam adhesive. I used glue to attach the die cut word, then added shimmer and Crystal glaze to match the balloons. I picked words from Happy Thoughts stamp set to stamp and white heat-emboss onto black card stock. I trimmed the words down to strips, and attached them to the card with thin foam squares.

I hope I have helped you with ideas on how to incorporate pattern papers to your cards. That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends! It's Juliana here and I'm very happy to back with you this week after taking a break last week for our move into our new home! Today I'm sharing a birthday themed gift box featuring the Wrap Around Box Dies, Silly Sloths Stamps and the Surprise Party Paper Pad!

To create the box, I used the Wrap Around Box Dies and I followed the wonderful instructions found in this blog post. I began with a solid piece of teal cardstock. I then used some of the fun patterns from the Surprise Party Paper Pad to decorate each side of the box. For the oval frames, I used the plain stitched oval in the Fancy Frames Oval Dies.

Once the box was complete, I started stamping the adorable sloths and leaves from the Silly Sloths Stamps. I colored them in using Copic Markers and then die cut them using the Silly Sloths Dies. After all of the coloring and die cutting was complete, I began adding a sloth and some leaves to each section to create a little scene.

Because I wanted this to be a birthday gift box, I knew those cute little sloths needed some party hats! The adorable Party Pups Stamps had just what I needed and they fit the sloths perfectly! Another option for party hats can also be found on the Purrfect Birthday Stamps.

To finish off the gift box, I created 2 small tags using the tag dies that are part of the Wrap Around Box Dies. I stamped Happy Birthday on one of them using “happy” from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and “birthday” from the Silly Sloths Stamps.

Originally, I only had the one tag with the sentiment, but then I saw those cute sloth faces and knew it would fit perfectly on one of those tags.

To adhere the tags, I added a length of yellow craft floss to each tag. I dropped the ends of the floss into the box opening and once I had the tags hanging out as far as I wanted them, I adhered them in place with a bit of adhesive and then trimmed off the excess floss.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this birthday gift box I shared with you today using the Wrap Around Box Dies, Silly Sloths Stamps and the Surprise Party Paper Pad.

Sweater Vest Dies Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends, Angelica here with a fun Father's Day project. Can you believe we're getting towards that time of the year?? I am in a family of avid Football fans, so I thought it would be fun to incorporate the colors of my husband's and my father-in-law's favorite football teams into these Sweater Vest cards.

How cute are these Sweater Vest Dies?!! I used pattern papers from the Classic Gingham Paper Pack for the sweaters, the red representing my father-in-law's Buffalo Bills team, and the blue representing my husband's (and Mine!) Seattle Seahawks team. I die-cut the trimmings out of card stock in the secondary team colors.

To turn these sweaters into cards, I die-cut four more sweater bases out of white card stock. I used double-sided adhesive to adhere the completed sweaters to two of the white bases to make them card fronts. 

The other two bases I stamped Happy Father's Day using words from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, then added score lines 3/4 inches from the top of each base. I added strong adhesive above the score lines, then attached the card fronts to them.

I LOVE how these sweaters turned out. I can't wait to get started on Christmas cards with this die set! I hope I have given you ideas about sweater cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends, it's Juliana here and I'm excited to be sharing how to add extra texture and interest to your card today using the Sunny Studio Stamps Sweater Vest Die Set, and embossing folder and flocking.

Because I wanted the texture to be the main focus for the card, I went clean and simple and only used dies to create my card front. To add the texture, I used a new product called DecoFoil Flock Transfer Sheets by Therm O Web. This fun new product allows you to easily add flocking to your paper crafting and card making projects for a fun fuzzy effect. And even better, I love that you can do it without all the mess that previous flocking powders caused.

I began by taking a piece of iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets and peeled off the liner on one side. I then adhered this to a piece of white cardstock. (I've found the cardstock to be helpful when using this adhesive to give your project a bit of stability as you apply the flocking.)  Next, I took this piece and die cut all of the elements for my card using the Sweater Vest Die Set making sure to cut with the liner side up. Once the die cutting was complete, I took DecoFoil Flock in various colors and adhered them to the die cut pieces. Make sure during this step that you adhere the fuzzy flocked side to the adhesive. You are then going to run each piece through your die cutting machine to press the flock into the adhesive for permanent adhesion.

After I had flocked all the things, I wanted to take things a step further by adding even more texture. I adhered the diamond shaped die cuts to the main sweater vest image and then placed this piece inside the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. I then ran this entire piece through my die cutting machine to emboss the design right into the flock. Isn't it fabulous?! And in real life, the soft fuzziness of the flock is the perfect thing for this adorable sweater vest.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed learning how to add texture and interest to your die cuts using flocking combined with the Sweater Vest Die Set. Imagine the possibilities with the other fun Sunny Studio Stamps dies!
