Cat Antics Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a fun, whimsical card featuring the Cat Antics Stamps! I had so much fun creating this scene! It took a lot of stamping, masking and fussy cutting!

I started off by trimming a piece of purple patterned paper, from the Polka-dot Parade Paper pack to 4,25 x 5,5 inches and adhered it to my A2 size card base. I then trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3,75 x 5 inches and stamped the wooden floor from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps set using Memento Tuxedo black ink at the bottom of the panel and colored it with my Copic Markers, see list below. 

For “wallpaper” I ink blended purple and turquoise inks and sprayed water droplets to it for a whimsical look! I covered the floor part with post-it notes while doing that. I then trimmed a slightly larger black panel to go behind my ink blended /floor panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

Next, on to the stamping and masking of the kittens and the furniture! The kittens, box, bowl and mouse are from the Cat Antics Stamps set and the furniture is from the Cozy Christmas Stamps set. As always, I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol ink friendly card stock. For the masking I used Spellbinders Masking Sheets. I then colored the images with Copic markers, see list below:

Copic colors used:
Red cat: E08/09/97, YR21, R30
White (& black) cats: N0/1/3/4/5/6/8, R30
Grey (& black) cats: W0/1/3/5, N3/5/7, R30
Calico cat: E08/09/97, N3/5/7, R30
Mouse/frame: N1/3, YR21/24/27
Couch: YG03/17/67
Throw pillows: BG10/11/13, V12/15/17
Table: N1
Lamp: YR21/24/27, YG03/17
Box: V12/15/17
Food bowl/fish: YR21/24/27, R30
Floor: E21/23/25

As I masked several images into one, I then fussy cut them out leaving a narrow white border as if I had used coordinating dies. There are coordinating dies available to both the Cat Antics and the Cozy Christmas sets if you prefer to stamp each image separately and then arrange the scene!

Next, I stamped the sentiment, the words “sending you” are from the Quill Cuties Stamps set and the words “pawsitive vibes” are from the Cat Antics Stamps set. I added foam dots to the fussy cut pieces and arranged my scene and adhered them to the card! I used a white gel pen for the polka dots on the purple box!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun little boxcard card to share showcasing the Sweet As Can Bee set. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and a branch from the Little Birdie Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Little Birdie Dies to die cut them out. I also die cut some flowers from the Gift Card Envelope Dies out of the Neenah white and yellow cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bees: Y11/13/15/19, T1/3/5/7, R20, BG000/10
Branch: E23/25/27
Leaves: YG01/03/25
Flowers: RV13
Beehive: Y11/13/08 YR21/24 W5
Honey Pot: YR21/23/24/27, RV10/21/13
Honey Dipper: RV21/13/14

For the boxcard, I used the Stitched Square Dies to die cut one 4” square out of blue cardstock, one 3.5” square and two 1” squares out of white cardstock. I also trimmed a blue strip (1.25” x 11”) and two white strips (1.25” x 4.75”) for the boxcard base. 

For the boxcard base, I used a score board to score the blue strip at the 1.25”, 5.25”, 6.5” and 10.5” marks. I folded on the score lines, added liquid blue to the 0.5” end tab and secured it to the other end of the strip to create the boxcard base. I adhered the two large square die cuts to each other and then to the back of the boxcard base. I adhered the two small white squares to the side panels.

For the boxcard shelves, I used the score board to score the two white strips at the 3/8” mark on each of the long ends. I folded on the score lines and added the shelves to the boxcard with a strong double-sided tape. 

For the sentiment, I used the Slimline Pennant Dies to diecut a white banner. I used a partial diecuttibg technique and the fishtail end of the die to shorten the strip to fit the front of the boxcard. Next, I used the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the B-E-E letters out of black cardstock. I adhered the letters to each other with liquid adhesive and used the word to align the “You’re as sweet as can” sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set onto the banner. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the BEE to the banner. 

I adhered the colored images and sentiment strip to the boxcard with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To make it look like they are flying, I used clear acetate strips to adhere the bees.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Gift Set with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here with a fun project featuring the adorable set, Sweet as Can Bee. I decided to create a cute tea pocket and muslin bag, filled with tea, honey, and a honey dripper. This is such a sweet little gift for a tea lover!

To begin, I stamped the images from Sweet as Can Bee, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies. Next, I die cut 2 Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies from Bristol cardstock, masked off the edges, and ink blended it using the Pink Fresh Ink Cubes- Napa Valley. I arranged the images onto the inked oval mats, attaching some with foam tape for dimension. I then stamped a white banner, die cut with the Brilliant Banner 3, and attached along the bottom of the ovals using foam tape.

To create the pocket, I simply took a brown paper bag, folded up the bottom, and glued it along the edges to create a pocket. I covered the bag with the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tone Patterned Paper, then tied some lavender crinkle ribbon around it before attaching the scalloped oval with foam tape. I then filled my little pocket with tea, honey, and a honey dripper.

I also created a little tea pouch with adorable tag. It is a little muslin bag that I repurposed, filled with tea and honey. It is tied up with a honey dripper and finished with a tag and crinkle ribbon.

That's it! You have a cute little simple and inexpensive gift! You could also tuck in a gift card for a little something extra! I hope you are inspired to make some adorable tea gifts for the tea lover in your life!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

Wedded Bliss Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing a monochrome wedding shaker card, created in soft grey tones and a touch of sparkle.

I started by die-cutting two card bases from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper Pad using the beautiful heart print paper. Next, I stamped the Majestic Meadow background twice with grey ink on each card base. From one sheet of cardstock, I die-cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Large dies to create the shaker window.

On white cardstock, I stamped the adorable bird and the tulips from the Majestic Meadow stamp set and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I also stamped the lovely penguin couple from the Wedded Bliss stamp set. I then colored all the images using my collection of Ohuhu grey pencils, adding depth and dimension while keeping everything in a beautiful monochromatic style.

For the anniversary numbers, I stamped the 25 from the Balloon Number stamp set and finished them with glitter embossing powder for a subtle sparkle that makes them stand out perfectly.

The little bird was adhered to the bottom card base, inside the shaker element, while all the remaining images were attached to the top layer. Using foam tape, I adhered the top layer to the bottom layer, leaving enough space for the shaker elements to move freely inside.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Balloon Numbers Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I’m showcasing the versatile Balloon Numbers Stamps. Instead of using them as a focal point, I stamped them in soft pastel tones to create a subtle, playful patterned backdrop for this adorable foxy scene.

​To kick things off, I stamped the adorable fox, umbrella, and little birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Coloring them with Copic markers is always my favorite relaxed step! Once I finished coloring, I lined up the matching Foxy Friends Dies to die-cut all the pieces flawlessly.

​COPIC COLORS:
Fox: E41, E43, R30, YR65
Umbrealla: B000, BG23, W1
Birds: R30, Y11, Y15

​For the backdrop, I wanted a subtle patterned look without being too overwhelming. So, I took a separate piece of white cardstock and stamped the Balloon Numbers softly in pastel shades across the panel, then die-cut it with the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. Next, I die-cut a circle using the Radiating Circle Dies and gently ink-blended Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina in the center to create a soft, airy sky for my little scene.

​For the sentiment, I stamped "HAVE A FOXTASTIC DAY!" in crisp black ink onto a banner die-cut using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.

Finally, I mounted the background panel onto a golden-orange cardbase, then popped up the radiating circle, banner, and cute images using foam tape. That extra dimension really brings the little fox and his bird friends to life!

​I hope this project inspires you to look at your number stamps in a fun new way! Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!
