Guest Designer Spotlight: All Occasion Cards with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya from Handmade By Kavya with some fun inspiration for the latest release! The new release is fueled with fun adorable cuties perfect for any occasion. Since it's valentine's day, I am going to show you how to make three cards that could be perfect for any occasion including today. How perfect is that? I think every card stash needs cards that are versatile! 

For my first card, we will be highlighting the typewriter from Vintage Valentines stamp set. I started off by stamping images from Vintage Valentines and Garden Fairy. For the background, I started off by die cutting Frilly Frames Quatrefoil using navy blue cardstock.

For the background, I took a lighter blue cardstock and ink blended the top using navy blue dye ink. For the table, I used pattern paper from All is Bright paper pack. Adhere all the images as shown in the picture below. Add a few details using white gel pen and you are done! 

For my next card, I am making a cute snail mail themed card! I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Vintage Valentines, Garden Critters and Snail Mail. Then, I created my oval base using Stitched Oval and Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies. 

I then ink bended the top of the stitched oval die using pale pink dye ink. For the background, I used pattern paper from Critter Country paper pack. Adhere all the images, add a few details using a white gel pen and you are done! 

My final card is super simple to make but I think it's absolutely stunning! I started off by preparing my base using white cardstock and Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pack. 

Then, I die cut a bunch of speech bubbles using Speech Bubbles Extras dies. Then, I added a 'hi' using Loopy Letters dies. Added a few details like hearts using white gel pen and I was done! 

I hope you liked all all of these cards :) Happy Crafting!

Speech Bubbles Extras Die Focused Cards with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. For today’s project, I created Valentine shaker ATCs using the new Speech Bubbles Extras dies.

I started by cutting the  ATC card bases and ink blending the backgrounds with soft pink and green inks. To give the cards an extra Valentine vibe, I stamped little hearts from the Cascading Hearts stamp onto the backgrounds. 

Next, I stamped and die-cut the adorable images from the Passionate Penguins stamp set along with the mailbox from Snail Mail.

I colored all the images with my Ohuhu markers and added a few white highlights using a white gel pen. Before assembling the shaker, I placed the images on the ATCs to decide where to die-cut the Speech Bubbles. 

Inside the speech bubbles, I stamped the XOXO sentiment from the Vintage Valentine stamp set.

Finally, I added a piece of acetate and double-sided foam to the back of the ATC, filled the shaker with tiny hearts, and sealed everything up. And just like that, the Valentine shaker ATCs were finished!

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

Icing Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello everyone! It’s Yan here! I’m so excited to share my new card today, combining the stitched label frame die from Sunny Studio’s Icing Rectangle Frame Dies with the adorable Quill Cuties Stamp Set! Both are part of the Sunny Studio Spring New Release, and they work together so perfectly — I had such a fun time creating this cheerful design! Let’s get started! 

First, I stamped the adorable hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. Then, I colored them with Copic markers, adding warm tones and playful shading to bring out their cheerful personalities! Once the coloring was done, I used the Quill Cuties Dies to cut them out perfectly — they’re all ready to join the scene! 

COPIC COLOUR:
Hedgehogs: E18, E35, E31, E30, R30
Glasses: Y11, Y15
Mug, Hat & Gift Box: BG23, BG15, B000, R46, R30

Next, I added a soft background to my creamy cardstock using the Dotted Diamond Landscape Die to create a delicate pierced pattern. Then, I used the Stitched Label Frames Dies from the Icing Rectangle Frame Die set to die-cut four frames — two from white cardstock and two from vellum paper. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina over the white cardstock frames to add a gentle pop of color, and heat embossed heartfelt sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp onto the vellum frames. 

Finally, I used the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 & 5 to die-cut a few hearts and snowflakes to add extra little details. Then, I layered all the elements together using foam tape and glue, arranging the hedgehogs and frames to create a cheerful, dimensional scene full of springtime fun — just as shown in the photo! 

Thank you so much for stopping by — I’m so happy to share a little piece of my crafting joy with you today!

Spring Garland Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, Tina here and I swear that on certain days I can feel Spring in the air! That is why I am so excited to create a card with the gorgeous Spring Garland stamp and die set. Not only are the images stunning, this stamp gives you so much options with the separate clusters and butterflies.

Since the flowers are slightly curved, I thought they would work very well with an oval design. I started by cutting a pink piece of cardstock from my stash with the largest of the Stitched Ovals. Next, I dry embossed this piece with the beautiful Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die and layered the panel on top of a white scalloped border (Scalloped Oval Mat 1). 

My simple white card base got some extra interest by adding a striped design with a stencil and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide. I set this base aside to dry before mounting the oval pieces. Then I pulled out my Copics and selected happy Spring colors for the flower arrangements.

I played around with both pieces and loved the idea of them following the oval shape while slightly overlapping. I used foam tape for the largest cluster to get that extra dimension. 

This card could be perfect for Easter or Spring, but since I always need a lot of birthday cards, I wanted to show you that it is perfect for that occasion too! My sentiment (Tropical Birds) was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink on a small pink banner and placed in the top right corner. A few Pink Spinel Jewels are the perfect embellishment for this design.

I always enjoy creating with flowers and I hope you will love this set as much as I do! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
