Beach Bus Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, I am Tina and wouldn’t you love to go on a holiday in this fun Beach Bus? The set comes with cute critters and lots of travel essentials!

I started this project by creating a white square card base, layered with a piece of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) cut with the largest of the Scalloped Square 2 Large dies. My background panel is a white square made with one of the Stitched Square Dies. The sky part was inked with a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo.

Since traveling often is also lots of adventure, I wanted an authentic cobble road for the bus to drive on. I stamped one of the Sprawling Surfaces to achieve that goal! Next, I selected the bus, all the cute critters, their suitcases and surfboard (Beach Bus). To create that ‘party bus vibe’ I also stamped a banner (Panda Party) as fun decoration.

All the coloring was done with my Copics in happy colors, and I added highlights with a white gel pen. The sentiment was selected from the same Beach Bus set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To assemble the card, I gave all the critters a place in the bus and mounted the party banner. Then, I stacked the luggage on top and added the surfboard. Finally, I adhered a few Iridescent Jewels for that extra sparkle!

Thank you for visiting the blog and I can’t wait to see your Summer inspired cards! Happy crafting!

Breakfast Puns Cards with Laura

Hey everyone! It's Laura Vegas here, filling in on the blog for today. I'm sharing a set of clean and simple Breakfast Puns cards that I created for today's post. 

I'm not much of a stamper, so when I do stamp, it's pretty basic. I never really think to use images, sticking more to sentiments and basic shapes, as I wouldn't know where to begin coloring those fun images. The more I thought about it, I realized that I could easily work a single image into my clean and simple card making style, using just black ink and no coloring.

To get my cards started, I selected patterned papers for the background of each card, using both the Polka-Dot Parade paper pack and the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pack. I cut a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock for each card, embossed them using the Lots of Dots embossing folder, spritzed them with a little bit of black misting spray, and adhered them to the center of each card. I machine stitched along the edges of the white embossed cardstock, since I love how some simple machine stitching can add a finished look to a card.

I stamped each of my Breakfast Puns images onto a small square of white cardstock, and added the smallest of the Fancy Frame Square dies on top to frame the image. I then adhered each of the framed images to a square piece of textured black cardstock and adhered each to my card bases. Sure, these images would look SO much cuter colored - but I'm a huge fan of black and white in general, and I actually love the simplicity of leaving them un-colored.

I die cut banners from black cardstock using the Notebook Photo Corner dies, and heat embossed my sentiments with white embossing powder on each. I adhered these sentiment banners to each card to finish them off. 

I hope for anyone out there seeing these that don't consider themselves to be stampers, or don't know how they would use all of the amazing and fun images without learning how to color them - that this simple idea of just stamping images in black ink and calling them "done" gives you ideas of how to incorporate more stamps into your cardmaking and other paper crafting projects. Thanks for letting me hang with you on the blog today!

Build-A-Bowl Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello Everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a simple card showing how the Build-a-Bowl dies can be used with something other than fruit. I have die a bunch of little hearts to fill the bowl on my card. 

First I added some light pink shading and splatters to the card front. Next I adhered the bowl that's been die cut from some metallic silver card stock. I then added a bunch of little hearts die cut from several different colors. The heart die I used comes from the Gift Card Envelope set. I arranged the hearts to look as if they were falling into and filling up the bowl. 

I created a custom greeting with stamps from Sunny Sentiments and the Love word die from Gift Card Envelope. Lastly I added a few clear sequins. That's it for quick and easy card. You could customize it even more by adding hearts in the recipient's favorite colors. This card design would also work great for Valentine's Day with red and pink hearts.

Big Panda Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a fun tropical card featuring the Big Panda Stamps!

I started this A2 card with the ocean background. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and masked the bottom 2” of the cardstock. I used a cloud stencil from my stash and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I then masked the sky and the bottom 1” of the panel. I inked the ocean with Simon Says Stamp Seafoam ink. I finished by masking all but the bottom 1” and inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then adhered the panel to the card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die and adhered the frame to the background panel. I inked the sand portion of the die-cut with Antique Linen Distress ink and set it aside until I was ready to adhere the panda.

I stamped the panda, beach hat and drink from the Big Panda Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I then adhered the panda to the card front and adhered the sand die-cut over top.

To finish, I stamped leaves and flowers using the Radiant Plumeria Stamps/Dies and the Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps/Dies and adhered them around the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Tiki Time Stamps, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and fussy cut it out.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Strawberry Patch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello there, this is Nicky with you today on the blog and I'm sharing a circular card, featuring our Strawberry Patch Dies, that was inspired by a photo I saw online of a cake decorated with fresh strawberries including the leaves and flowers.

To create this card I die cut two large circles of white cardstock which would form the front and back of my card base. With the back panel, I cut a sliver off at what would be the bottom so that it would stand up without rolling around when it was being displayed and at the top I scored a line that would form a 'hinge' and above the line I added ScorPal tape and then adhered the front and back panels together.

I did some soft ink blending on the front panel using Blush Pink ink by The Stamp Market. I splattered on some water and blotted it up then dotted in a little interest with Copic markers just to distress it a little.

I used the Strawberry Patch Dies to die cut sturdy white cardstock and made a juicy pile of strawberries by ink blending the parts. I used Lipstick Red and Gumdrop by The Stamp Market to blend. I then began building a 'wreath' of strawberries and their leaves around the edge of the 'cake' that I had been inspired by.  Building and gluing until I had gone all the way around and then for balance I tucked in the odd extra leaf or two and then added the little flowers.

To finish it up I grabbed the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set and some black sentiment strips. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white and added these strips to the centre of the cake using dimensional foam tape.

Last but not least, I stamped around the sentiments using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation impressions of the little heart included in the sentiment stamp set and the same Lipstick Red ink I had blended the strawberries with. Card done! Slice of cake anyone?

Thanks for reading the blog today and I'll see you next Friday with something new.

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm so happy to be back with this fun and bright interactive Sliding Window card featuring three cute Fabulous Flamingos in a tropical scenery. Oh how I love to make tropical cards!

As very often I started off with the coloring and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers using corals for the flamingos, red for the flowers and different greens for the leaves. Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Fabulous Flamingos - flamingos, hearts • Tropical Birds - ivy, leaves, flowers • Silly Sloths - flowers, leaves.

I cut a 5 x 3,75 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel using the largest Stitched Rectangle, and colored it using oxide inks. I started off by covering it with cracked pistachio oxide ink to create a nice and even base. I added and blended some lucky clover oxide ink on the four edges, and then brought more interest to this background using a leafy stencil from my stash along with lucky clover oxide ink. I splattered clear water all over my panel and dried it using a paper towel. Next I mixed some pine needle oxide ink with water, used a small brush to make splatters on my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut and colored two additional Strathmore bristol smooth panels. The first one measures 5 x 3,25 inches, I cut the second one using the largest Stitched Rectangle die, and colored them both using the same colors. I first covered them with tattered rose oxide ink, and used the same leafy background stencil as before along with saltwater taffy oxide ink.

Once my leafy green panel was dry, I cut my Sliding Window out of it, as well as the notch at the top, folded my panel on the score lines, flipped it over, and added double sided tape on the slim bottom tab. I peeled the backing paper off this tab, flipped my 5 x 3,25 inches leafy pink panel over, and attached it at the back of my leafy green panel, lining up the bottom edge of the leafy green panel with the slim tab. I glued the small tab piece at the top of my leafy green panel, pierced a hole through that tab, cut a green eyelet using a die from Sliding Window, attached this eyelet to the tab, and added red twine to create a handle and be able to pull the interactive panel.

I flipped my leafy green panel over, and added foam strips along the bottom edge, on the side edges as well, but not along the top edge. I peeled all the backing papers off, and attached my leafy green panel to the remaining leafy pink panel to complete the whole interactive process. Next I cut a 5,25 x 4 inches white panel that I attached to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Polka Dot Parade red pattern paper, and then stuck this whole panel to a white card base.

At the inside bottom of the card, I stamped "You're flamazing" from Fabulous Flamingos in black, added a few extra images, and did the same at the inside top of the pull tab. I also white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, embossed "Hello friend" from Chubby Bunny and Bighearted Bears inside the banner, cut it using the matching die, and attached it below the flamingos using clear foam squares. As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely tropical card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.
