Stitched Semi-Circle Focused Cards with Tammy and Ana

Hi friends, Tammy here. Since it's July 1st, I thought a Christmas in July card would be a fun way to kick off the month. My card today is featuring the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, paired with the darling flamingos from Fabulous Flamingos. These cuties are ready to spread some holiday cheer, tropical style!

To begin, I cut white cardstock to a 5 1/2" square. using the largest die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, I cut out a window. Next, I ink blended a piece of Bristol cardstock with Abandoned Coral and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. Using the Catch A Wave Dies, I cut a wave border and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers for a nice, bright water line. I then cut a sandy border, using the Woodland Borders Die, and ink blended it with Antiqued Linen and Vintage Photo Distress oxide inks. Using a paintbrush, I flicked some thinned down brown paint onto my sand to create some interest.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets: Fabulous Flamingos/ Coordinating Dies, Merry Mice/ Coordinating Dies, Tropical Scenes/ Coordinating Dies.

Copic Colors used - Flamingos: R22, R20, R30, R00, Y38, Y35; Pineapples: YR24, Y35, Y15, Y11, YG17, YG03, YG01; Santa Hats: R22, R24, R29, R39, W0; Palm Trees: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01, E40, E42, E44

Using foam tape, I attached the white stitched panel over my inked background. I arranged the stamped images onto my card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension.

To complete my card, I stamped my sentiment (combining Fabulous Flamingos and Merry Mice) onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally, I attached my card front to a 5 1/2" square white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my tropical Christmas in July card! See you next time.

Hello friends! It’s Ana today with a fun card showcasing Stitched Semi Circle dies, Savanna Safari stamps and dies as well as some beautiful patterned papers! I wanted to create a safari scene but change up the colors a bit. Savannas get really green at certain times of the year so I thought some greens and yellows would look super cute and bright!

I chose papers from Spring Fling paper pack and started working on the background. I used stitched rectangle mat die (from Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies) to cut out the green background piece. I used the same die and partially die cut the yellow piece creating a square. Out of leftover green grass paper I die cut a lace border with Eyelet Lace Border dies.

Next, I used the second largest Stitched Semi Circle die and die cut the sunrise patterned paper and stamped the trees (from Savanna Safari) on the scene using olive green ink. I stamped the critters with Memento Tuxedo black ink, colored them with Copic markers and cut them with coordinating dies. Little bird and a flower are from A Bird’s Life stamp set.

I assembled the card by adhering the patterned papers with glue tape then popped the stitched semi-circle and the critters with foam tape and stamped the sentiment with black ink. I added some fun interest to the design with yellow confetti from Rainbow Dot Confetti pack and my card was finished.

I really hope you like this sweet card and got inspired to create some scenes with patterned papers and dies! Thank you so much for spending time with us today and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
