Brilliant Banner 4 Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with this new slimline autumn card featuring the mouse family again! This time the whole family is having fun at the pumpkin festival, and once again, I used many images from different sets (listed down below), as well as the Brilliant Banner 4 which goes perfectly with the hot air balloon from Balloon Rides, to create this lovely card.

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I stenciled to create a very simple background. On the upper half, I created clouds using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. And on the bottom half, I created grassy hills using a hill stencil from my stash along with mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks.

Next I 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 Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Happy Harvest - sunflowers, mushrooms • Turkey Day - pie, cup, slice of pie, leaves • Seasonal Trees - birds • Merry Mice - large mice, scarves • Fall Friends - acorns, stump • Bountiful Autumn - large pumpkins • Fall Scenes - small pumpkins • Beach Bus - small mice • Balloon Rides - hot air balloon, banners, clouds • Christmas Critters - mouse (in the balloon)

Once the coloring was done, I worked on my greeting using Brilliant Banner 4 dies. I cut the front piece and the back piece out of different shades of cardstock, white heat embossed "Autumn greetings" from Turkey Day on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck everything, images and banner, to my slimline panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

As always, to finish my card I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and that's it! I hope that you liked this new episode of the mouse family adventures. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, I am Tina and for today’s card we are making a fun interactive balloon scene! Using the Sliding Window dies makes it really easy to create this sweet project! 

This type of card works well with larger images and after browsing through my stash I found this adorable balloon with it’s cute bunny passenger (Balloon Rides).

I cut two panels of white card stock with a stitched rectangle die (4 x 5,25 inches) and one smaller piece measuring 3,25 x 4,75 inches. I lined up these 3 panels onto a large sticky mat and used a cloud stencil from my stash with Distress Oxides Tumbled Glass and Wilted Violet.

While these pieces were drying I stamped the balloon, the cute bunny, the sun and some clouds from Balloon Rides and colored them with my Copic markers. I went for cool colors that would match my cloud backdrop. The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Then it was time to work on the interactive mechanism, I took one of the large cloud panels and placed the Sliding Window dies in the middle, I also used the notch die from this set at the top. After reenforcing the scorelines with a bonefolder, I added a thin strip of double- sided tape on the bottom tab of the slider so I could adhere my smaller panel to it.

Next, I stamped a little arrow in the ‘notch area’ of this smaller panel so the recipient knows how to ‘open’ the card mechanism! I adhered the second large cloud panel to a white card base and decided where I needed to glue the clouds on this ‘inside’ piece. I mounted both large cloud panels together with foam tape along the edges, that way the sliding mechanism has enough room to glide.

I cut another balloon shape from white card stock and glued it to the back of the colored one before adhering it to the bottom part of the folding panel. This will give more stability and a clean look.

Lastly, I placed the sun and clouds on to the scene and added the sentiment strip to the front piece. A few Crystal Clear Jewels were scattered around the balloon and clouds. I had a lot of fun creating this interactive card and I hope to see your creations soon!

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Beach Bus Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, thank you so much for stopping by. Look who's back! The mouse family is up for a new adventure, and this time, they're on vacation at the beach, where there are so many cool activities to do! Once again, it was so much fun to mix and match my stamps to create this little scene.

As very often I went for a slimline style to feature as many images as I could, and started off by creating my beach scenery using stencils from my stash along with oxide inks. On the lower part, I did the ocean/sea using salvaged patina, peacock feathers and blueprint sketch oxide inks. Right above it, I did two sand borders using antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks. And at the very top of my panel, I did a cloudy sky using salvaged patina oxide ink.

Next I did the same texture routine as usual, and to give the illusion of foam on the waves, I dipped a sponge dauber into copic opaque white ink, and dabbed my panel pretty randomly to create that foam effect.

I set my panel aside to dry, 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 my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Beach Bus - van, mouse • Beach Babies - ball, bag, sunscreen, shovels, buckets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, floaties • Merry Mice - sand mouse • Harvest Mice - mice • Garden Critters - sprigs • Kiddie Pool - snorkel, splatters • Balloon Rides - clouds, sun • Christmas Critters - mouse • Tiki Time - torch • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts

Once the coloring was done, I attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space at the very bottom for my "Happy summer" greeting from Beach Babies that I heat embossed in white. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops to the splatters to make them shine.

And that's it! What a cute and fun little scene, right? I love the mouse family so much, I really look forward to seeing their next adventure! I hope you do, too! Thanks again for stopping by, and see you next time.
