Juicy Watermelon Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog today with this bright summer card featuring a mix and match of items, including the Juicy Watermelon die set. I love that Sunny Studio has come with fruit dies for summertime (Fresh Lemon, Strawberry Patch, Wild Cherry) and I can't wait to share more cards with those brand new items.

For today's card, I started off by cutting bits and pieces out of colored cardstock to build three Juicy Watermelon slices, as well as tropical leaves using Summer Greenery, and tropical flowers using the free gift with purchase. I set all those elements aside, and stamped 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 Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Panda Party for the pandas • Seasonal Trees + Sending Sunshine for the palm trees • Special Day for the hearts • Fabulous Flamingos for the leaves, flowers and watermelon slices • Tiki Time for the toucans and cocktails

Once the coloring was done, I cut a Strathmore bristol smooth slimline panel, covered it with saltwater taffy oxide ink, and used a stencil from my stash along with worn lipstick, festive berries, shabby shutters, mowed lawn and hickory smoke oxide inks to create a watermelon pattern. I splattered water on my panel that I dried using a paper towel, mixed some black soot oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the paper, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I attached everything on my slimline panel using liquid glue and foam squares, leaving enough space for my greetings, and then worked on those greetings which are from Beach Bus. I embossed "Summer" on yellow cardstock and cut it using the matching die. And I embossed "Happy" and "Enjoy" on aqua cardstock, trimmed them into slim banners, and then attached those three pieces on my panel using 2mm foam squares. As always I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finally applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts to make them sparkle. 

And that's it! I love tropical scenes, so I had a lot of fun mixing and matching products on this Juicy Watermelon card, I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Build-A-Bowl Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and for my shaped card today I am using the fun and versatile Build-A-Bowl dies (so many options!!) combined with the Strawberry Patch die set.

Let’s first create our card base and fancy frame from white card stock using the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies and a slightly smaller oval die from my stash.

For the background, I spritzed the top part with a mix of Distress Mica Stain Snow Flurries and Distress Spray Stain Tumbled Glass. The bottom consists of a beautiful blue gingham paper from Critter Country.

I glued the background pieces and frame to the card base and continued with a bunch of die cutting using the Build-A-Bowl dies and the Strawberry Patch set. The bowl and flowers were kept white but I added colour to all the other pieces with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness.

Then it was time to assemble the pretty bowl and fill it to the brim with delicious strawberries. The little white flowers gave that extra pop of brightness.

I knew I wanted a large word as part of my sentiment and the ‘Sweet’ die cut from Candy Shoppe was the perfect match. The ‘Birthday wishes’ stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink is found in the same set.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Big Panda Card with Isha

Hello everyone, Isha here with a CAS card featuring the Big Panda stamp and dies. This stamp set is gorgeous with beautiful accessories to go with the theme. I decided to create this card for a friend.

I started by die-cutting three circles using the Stitched Circles Large and Stitched Circles Small dies. I then sponged picked raspberry, wild honey and dried marigold distress oxide ink to them.  Adhere to a white card base.

Stamp the images, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies:

Big Panda, hat, drink and sentiment - Big Panda stamp and dies
Small Panda - Panda Party stamp and dies
Small drink - Tiki Time stamp and dies

Adhere the images to the card using 3d foam. To finish, I added some sequins. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Strawberry Patch Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi there! Leanne here today and I have a mini slimline card to share which features a row of sweet little strawberries. I added a birthday sentiment to my card, but this design could be used for many different occasions by switching up the greeting.  

I started by creating an inked and splattered background panel, which is trimmed slightly smaller than my mini slimline card base. I used a light green ink to add some shading around the panel edges which fades going in towards the center. Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from Punny Fruit Greetings, right in the center of this panel. I did this first so I would know exactly where I could arrange the little blossoms and the row of strawberries.  

I created all the little strawberries and blossoms with the new Strawberry Patch dies. I die cut all the pieces from white card stock. To color I used blending brushes and the following Catherine Pooler inks : Garden Party, Grass Skirt, Spruce, Lemongrass, Rouge, & It's a Girl. After adhering all the strawberries, leaves, and blossoms, I added a few sparking clear sequins and tied some twine around the top of the card to finish.

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share an ocean themed card using the Sliding Window Dies!

To make this fun card, I started with the base panel. I cut a piece of 110lb white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and inked the top half of the cardstock using a cloud stencil with Spun Sugar Distress ink. (I have several layers of ocean scene adhered to the window portion, so a heavier weight cardstock added extra stability). I then cut a post-it note in a wavy pattern, masked the bottom 1” of the panel and inked the ocean with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks. I splattered a little water with a fan brush and once dry, masked the ocean and inked the bottom 1” with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder on the cloud portion approximately 1” from the top and right sides. With the inking complete, I die-cut the center of the panel with the Sliding Window Dies and the center of the top edge with the small semi-circle die included with these dies.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 7/8” for the pull-out panel that opens the sliding window. I inked this piece with a cloud stencil using Spun Sugar Distress ink, die-cut a hole protector from pink cardstock and adhered it to the center of the top edge. I punched a hole through the center of the hole protector and tied off a piece of teal cording.

It was now time to construct the sliding window mechanism. I adhered the small flap of the sliding window to the bottom of the pink cloud panel. (Video instructions for this can be found in the product details on the Sunny website).

For the panel revealed under the window, I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4” x 5 1/2", masked the bottom 1” of the cardstock and inked the ocean using the same Distress inks as before. I then inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder approximately 2” from the bottom of the cardstock. I adhered the sliding window panel to this bottom panel and then adhered the combined piece to an A2 card front.

For my ocean scene, I cut 3 pieces of white cardstock for the waves on the sliding panel (2 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 2 pieces 1 1/2" x 4 1/4"). I die-cut the top edge of each piece using the Catch A Wave Dies and inked the smaller pieces with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I also splattered a little water on these pieces. On the larger piece, I masked the very bottom, inked the ocean and then inked the bottom sand portion. I overlapped/adhered the small wave pieces behind the large wave piece. I then adhered the waves to the sliding window on the card front making sure to only apply adhesive on the window portion itself so the whole scene slides upward.

To finish, I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut all images as I used portions of some images to create this scene.

I used the following stamps:
Mermaid Kisses Stamps

Fintastic Friends Stamps

Ocean View Stamps

 

I hope you enjoyed my interactive mermaid scene 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.
