Designer's Choice: Captivating Cameliias Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card as this week is designer's choice as the theme. I decided to use various products and create this card.

To start, I took a white cardbase. Sponged some picked raspberry and wilted violet distress ink towards the right. I then die-cut a piece of white card with Frilly Frame Herringbone die. I then die-cut another piece using Fancy Frames Rectangle die and adhere the inside frame to the white herringbone piece. Adhere this to the cardbase using 3d foam.

Stamp the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the layering florals using the Captivating Camellias stamp set and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. Die-cut the leaves from white card using the Spring Greenery dies. Sponge them with cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress inks. Adhere to the card. To finish, I stamped and embossed butterflies from the Watering Can stamps onto vellum using white embossing powder, die-cut using the coordinating dies and adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a thank you card featuring the Beautiful Bluebells Stamps. The gorgeous details in these stamps can’t be overstated!

I kept the design of this A2 card fairly simple to showcase these beautiful flowers. I started by die-cutting a paper from the Spring Fever Paper using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhering it to a white card front. Next, I die-cut 2 pieces of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I die-cut one of them using the quatrefoil portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhered it to the solid stitched rectangle. I then adhered the combined piece to the card front.

To provide a base for the flowers, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Semi-Circle Dies and inked it lightly just short of the edges with Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac Distress inks. I adhered it 3/4" from the top of the card.

I stamped the bluebells in various shades of purple ink and a dusty blue ink (Simon Says Stamp Lilac, Amethyst and Orchid, Memento Elderberry and Hero Arts Dusty Blue. Stems in Simon Says Stamp Celery and Limelicious) and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the Stitched Semi-Circle die-cut beginning with the tallest flowers at the top and working down to the base of the semi-circle. (I reserved one bud to adhere overlapping the leaf)

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Spring Greenery Die and inked it with Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I adhered this below the bouquet and then overlapped/adhered one last flower bud.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps using Simon Says Stamp Orchid ink and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I adhered it with foam dimensional tape.

I just love how this turned out and I hope you enjoyed! 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.

My Heart Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this set of five colorful tags showcasing, as very often, multiple things. My plan was originally to make one tag only, the one with the burger and fries, but I had so much fun making that tag that I decided to use the other signs from Cruisin' Cuisine to make more.

I started off by stamping 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 Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Next I worked on my greetings, and started by stamping five big greetings using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks:

• "Happy Valentine's Day" from My Heart using Lemonade ink

• "You're My Favorite" from Lovey Dovey using Freshly cut grass ink

• "Thank You", "Happy Birthday", and "Make A Wish" from Big Bold Greetings using Guava, Bubblegum, and Merman inks

And then I white heat embossed five phrases from Cruisin' Cuisine and Words Of Gratitude on dark gray slim banners: "You're the burger to my fries", "Have a sweet day" (twice), "Franks a lot for always being there" and "Soy happy we're friends".

Next I used the Scalloped Square Tag largest die to cut five panels out of different Classic Sunburst pattern papers to match my food trucks. And to make my panels rectangle and not square, I started off by die cutting the top of the panel and not the bottom. I shifted the die down about an inch, and then cut the bottom of the panel and not the top. I did the same with white cardstock to create five white tags that I glued at the back of each colorful tag using liquid glue.

To mute the front of each tag down a little bit, I cut five vellum panels using the smallest die from Stitched Rectangles, attached images and greetings on each of those vellum panels using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck them on the tags using liquid glue.

I finished each tag by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added black & white gingham ribbon at the top of each tag. And that's it! 

Making those tags was so fun, it was my very first time using Cruisin' Cuisine and I really loved coloring those cute trucks and shop signs! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are integrating the cute Gift Card Envelope die into a card design. Of course, this die is totally adorable on its own and you can create the sweetest little card projects. But I thought it would be fun to create a little scene and have a Garden Fairy fly out of the envelope!

To start, I created a white A2 card base and grabbed a colorful flower paper from the Flirty Flowers pack. This set is one of my favorites, not only do you get gorgeous pastel colors, but one side of the papers has a heart pattern whilst the other side are flowers. I love having these versatile paper pads that give you a ton of options! For this fairytale card I opted for a beautiful purple tone and cut the panel with the outside border die from Frilly Frames Chevron. I glued this piece directly to the card base.

For my Gift Card Envelope I selected another purple paper, polka dots this time from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pad. The envelope is very easy to assemble, I just used a few strips of narrow double-sided tape to connect the flaps.

Next, I stamped and die cut my elements for the scene from the Garden Fairy and Garden Critters sets. All the coloring was done with my favorite medium, being Copic markers. I kept the color palette simple sticking with purples, pinks, and blues. Isn’t it great that in cardmaking you can have pink mushrooms and ladybugs!

For a grassy border I used the same paper as the background and one of the Mini Grass Border dies. I placed all the elements I had so far on my card and decided I needed a big bold sentiment. Since I am always in need of birthday cards I used this sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings set and cut it with the matching die. Another set that is an absolute staple piece for any craft room!

Finally, I mounted the envelope to the card base and build the scene. I love how the fairy seems to fly out! Lastly, I added the sentiment and a few pink gems from the Pastel Jewels mix.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kristie Marcotte

Hey everyone, Kristie Marcotte here. I'm so excited to be sharing several cards with you today that focus on the Surprise Party paper pack. Let's get right to it!

I made a fun patriotic birthday card featuring red and blue tone on tone patterned papers. I added a couple balloons above the sentiment and included the Ric Rac Border across the card. I used the Bright Balloons, Ric Rac Border,and Big Bold Greetings.

This card features the Subtle Grey Tones paper for the background. I used some of the tone-on-tone patterns from the Surprise Party paper pad for all the presents and filled the background with lots of gifts. I used Perfect Gift Boxes, Crepe Paper Streamers and Big Bold Greetings.

The background features the colorful party hat paper. I added a couple tone on tone strips. I included 3 balloons on an oval die cut. I used Bright Balloons and Big Bold Greetings.

I used some white shimmer cardstock for the background and added several narrow strips of patterned paper in pink and teal. I added a couple of present images on a vellum circle, plus a few balloons above the sentiment. I used Bright Balloons, Perfect Gift Boxes, and Big Bold Greetings.

 It's still July, so I couldn't resist making a fun Christmas card. I used the green star tone on tone paper for the background and cut out some wonky windows. I added a tiny poinsettia inside each window. I used Wonky Windows, Window Quad Circle, and Inside Greetings Holiday.

Thank you Mendi for the opportunity to guest design! You can find me on my blog, my Instagram, or my YouTube channel.
