Designer's Choice: Holiday Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am mixing and matching several sets for this designer’s choice blog post. The darling bear from Holiday Hugs is perfect for all your winter cards but I wanted to see how I could make him the focal point of a Spring birthday card!

To achieve this look, I had to mask off his scarf with some Post-it tape while I was stamping. It went really well and next I used the matching dies to cut him out. I love the special die for the arms! 

Whilst browsing through my stash I selected a few birthday related stamps like the big cake (Make A Wish), the gift (Holiday Hugs), the bouquet (Big Bunny) and the letters (Bighearted Bears).All these items were colored with alcohol markers in fun Spring colors.

My card base is an A2 size and made from white heavy weight card stock. For the pink gingham frame I used a Joyful Holiday paper, which was cut with the outer of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies and the largest of the Stitched Arched Dies.

Since the coloring was so bright, I opted for a white backdrop. The upper part is dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts folder, whilst the lower part was run through the Lots Of Dots folder (but that is difficult to see in the pictures). I added foam tape to the gingham frame and lower part of the background and adhered all the elements to my card base. Next, I added the cute bear and all his birthday accessories!

I love how the Brilliant Banner 2 Die perfectly fits on top of the arched frame. The combined sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. For some bling, I adhered a few Crystal Clear Jewels which are one of my favorites.

I hope you got inspired to experiment with stamp masking, it’s such a fun technique! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Big Bunny Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a fun birthday card featuring the Big Bunny Stamps. I just love how this adorable bunny can be used for so many occasions!

This is an A2 card and I started with a festive multi-colored background. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4" x 5 1/2" and inked it with Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks. For stitched detailing, I die-cut the 5 1/2" edges of the panel using a Ribbon & Lace Borders Die.

Next, I die-cut balloons and streamers from white cardstock using the Bright Balloons Dies and Crepe Paper Streamers Dies. I inked them with the same Distress inks as the panel. I adhered the streamers first and trimmed the excess from the edges. For the balloon strings, I tied gray embroidery floss to each and then adhered the balloons.

I stamped the bunny and bow from the Big Bunny Stamps and the cupcake from the Holiday Hugs Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered the bunny to the bottom of the panel and added a strip of Spring Fever Paper along the bottom that I die-cut using a Ribbon & Lace Borders Die and cut to 4" long.

I cut 2 strips of black cardstock 5 1/2" long and adhered one under each side of the background panel so just a sliver of black is visible. I then adhered the panel to a white card front.

To finish, I die-cut a punny sentiment from gray and black cardstock using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies and an exclamation point from the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies. I slightly overlapped the colors to make the gray stand out a bit more. I stamped the "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" sentiment from the Puddle Jumpers Stamps on a strip of gray cardstock.

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.

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Tammy

Hello friends! Tammy here with another Easter themed card, featuring the lovely Beautiful Bluebells stamp! I love how fun and easy it is to layer this stamp set to create a beautiful bouquet of bluebells!

To begin, I stamped the bluebells from Beautiful Bluebells using a variety of blue and green inks (for the stems), then die cut with the Beautiful Bluebells Dies. I then cut a basket from kraft cardstock using the Wicker Basket Dies. I inked the edges of the basket with brown ink and added some details with Copic markers. I arranged the bluebells and tucked into the basket, securing them with tape on the backside of the basket.

I stamped the bunny and bow from Big Bunny, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Big Bunny Dies. 

Next, I cut a piece of Spring Fever paper to a 5 inch square to create the card background. I then die cut white scalloped frames using the Fancy Frames Square Dies. I die cut a grassy border using the Mini Grass Border from Bristol cardstock and ink blended with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks. I attached the grassy border to the patterned paper, then attached the frames using foam tape for dimension.

I then arranged the bunny and basket onto my card, adhering with foam tape. Lastly, I die cut a lavender banner using the Brilliant Banner 1 Dies, then stamped the sentiment from both Big Bunny and Holiday Hugs stamp, attaching with foam tape for dimension to complete my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
