Cruisin' Cuisine Food Truck Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fun food truck cards for Summer using our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps, I turned my truck into a "burger bus," using the mustard & ketchup bottles and small words to personalize the truck. Along the bottom "front" portion of my scene, I added a pair of bears using our Big Panda Stamps, giving them french fries and a soda to hold from our Fast Food Fun Stamps. For the scenery behind my truck, I added a grassy edge using our Mini Grass Border Dies and some stitched Fluffy Cloud Dies to the sky.

I ran out of a prominent spot to squeeze in a fun greeting on the outside of my card, so I added one to the inside instead, adding another burger and fries from the Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps with the punny greeting from our Fast Food Fun Stamps.

My second card pairs our Big Bunny Stamps with the donut and food truck from our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. I love how all the foods that go on the top of the truck can also mix and match with our other food images and are the perfect size for our big critters to hold in the foreground. To fill out the scene behind my donut truck, I added a city using our Cityscape Border Dies, a grass border strip cut from green cardstock, and the two trees from our Charming City Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the punny donut greeting using a sentiment from our Breakfast Puns Stamps.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

Tiny Dancers Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with a Black Swan ballet themed card featuring the Tiny Dancers. This ballet is my all-time favorite, I like the story and the music, so I definitely had to turn my dancers into swans.

I started off by stamping five Tiny Dancers on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush, using light greys for the white swans and dark greys for the black swan. And when the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. 

Next I cut a square panel out of a Classic Sunburst black paper using the largest Stitched Square die, and I added lots of textures to my piece of paper. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel to bring brightness. I did the same with black soot distress ink for contrast, and finally added splatters of brushed pewter mica spray for sparkles.

Once my panel was dry, I cut a scalloped frame out of white shimmer cardstock using the largest Fancy Frames Square die, and attached that frame to my panel using 1mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I first heat embossed "When you stumble, make it part of the" from Tiny Dancers in white, on the upper part of my panel. Next I cut the word "Dance" twice using the Chloe Alphabet die set, out of black glittery cardstock and out of white cardstock. I glued each black shiny letter to its matching white letter using liquid glue, shifting them a little bit to create a white border, and then I attached the letters using 1mm foam squares.

I stuck my Tiny Dancers using 1mm foam squares for the ones in the back and 2mm foam squares for the ones on the front, glued a scattering of small silver star confetti, and finally attached my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! I really enjoyed making this card, and I hope that this simple design has inspired you to maybe recreate it or use a totally different color palette to match the tastes and personality of your card's recipient. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Truckloads of Love Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a birthday card for my hubby. I always stress when I need to make a male card. Being someone who loves pink, bows and cuteness makes it hard to switch to a more masculine design. As you can tell, I kept the cute critters, but I am sure hubby will love the ‘rusty truck’ (and the pile of presents!).

Mini slimline cards are my favorite design for making scene cards. I started with a white card base and cut two white panels with a slim line die from my stash. On one panel, I stamped the long fence with tree and grass border from the Fall Scenes set, I made sure to leave about an inch of paper beneath the fence to color in more grass. Then I used the matching die to cut along the top of the fence.

This way, I created the lower part of my scene as a separate piece which fits perfectly on top of the second panel. As always, I used my Copics for the coloring.

My second panel was a bit more challenging, I decided to draw my own ‘hillside’ in Copic. I switched between several tones of greens for more dimension. The top part of this piece was turned into a sky using a stencil from my stash and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide. I mounted the fence panel piece with foam tape on top of the hills scene and glued the whole to the card base.

To set the scene, I stamped a cute cat (Party Pets) and a fox driving a rusty truck (Truckloads of Love). I love how a underlayer of brown Copic coloring can achieve that worn look! For my sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink) I used a small phrase from Party Pets and a large Happy Birthday (Big Bold Greetings). Finally, I added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels.

I hope you will like this idea for a masculine card! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting.

Notebook Photo Corner Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey, hey crafty friends, Amanda here! I just got my hands on the Notebook Photo Corners Dies and I am OBSESSED! If you have these dies, you know what I’m talking about! I love the little notebook paper! Keep scrolling and craft along with me!

I started by grabbing the Sweater Weather Paper, but you could use any patterned paper for this card! I trimmed the flower piece to 4” x 5.25” and glued it to an A2 card base. Then, I grabbed a coordinating piece of paper and trimmed it to 2” x 5.25”. I glued that to the center of the card.

Next, I die cut 2 of the notebook paper dies from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies with white cardstock. I used a ruler and light blue and pink pens to make the lines across the paper to make them look like they really came from a notebook! I glued the 2 notebook papers together and then put 3D foam tape behind them. I attached them to the center of the card and added a little yellow paperclip to them.

For the stamped images, I gathered my MISTI, black ink, and the Harvest Mice Stamps. I stamped the 2 mice, the wagon components, and a bunch of cheese! I colored all the images with Copic markers and used a white Gelly Roll pen to create some dots and highlights. Then, I die cut the images out with the coordnating die set. I put 3D foam squares behind all the images and arranged them on the card. 

For the sentiment, I die cut one of the banner dies from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies with black cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment with a WOW!  Embossing pad. I applied white embossing powder to the glue and then melted the powder with my heat tool. I added a 3D foam strip to the back of the sentiment and added it to the card. The final step is to add those cute little flowers from the Clay Flower Confetti! I attached them to the card with a tiny bit of glue.

I just love this color combo with that beautiful floral paper, don’t you!? I hope you enjoyed this post and you find some time to get crafty today!

Beach Babies & Coastal Cuties Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some bright & happy summer cards featuring our Beach Babies Stamps and Coastal Cuties Stamps. 

For my first card, I used the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies to cut a striped background from scratch cardstock, which I used as a stencil with the discontinued Deco Foil Metallix Gel in White Pearl. After the medium was completely dry, I inked on alternating colors of Distress Ink for a happy rainbow background.

I then die-cut my oval frame's top and bottom portion using the Stitched Oval Dies with blue cardstock for the sky and tan cardstock for the sand. I trimmed my sandy hill using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and stippled the sand texture using E42, E43, and E44 Copic Markers. For the images in my summer scene, I used the girl from the Coastal Cuties Stamps, the smiling sun from the Balloon Rides Stamps, and all the other accessories from the Beach Babies Stamps. Lastly, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Beach Babies set onto a pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies onto a pink print from our Classic Gingham Paper pack.

My second card features the kids in pool floaties from the Beach Babies Stamps and Coastal Cuties Stamps. I cut and layered two wave borders cut with the Catch a Wave Dies and inked the bottom portion of each wave using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. For extra interest, I added sea foam to the top edge of each wave by adding dots with my white gel pen. For my curved sandy border on the bottom of my card, I used the Slimline Nature Border Dies and added a pink striped border between the waves and sand using the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies with Striped Silly Paper.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊
