Sprawling Surfaces Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun friendship card featuring the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. When I first saw the wood plank stamp in this set, I immediately thought of the wooden boardwalks that we have on a trail near our home. There’s a creek that runs next to it and it’s very wooded. My husband and I frequently ride our bikes on the trail, so I had a fun time creating this little scene with the adorable bike riding duo from the Bighearted Bear Stamps.

To begin, I lightly inked a soft sky with Tumbled Glass Distress ink on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock panel. I then stamped the sentiment 3/4" from the top and centered using stamps from the Garden Critters Stamps and the Bighearted Bear Stamps.

Next, I inked a 2” x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock with Peeled Paint Distress ink and die-cut the top edge using a Mini Grass Border Die. I adhered it to the bottom of the sky background panel. The Autumn Tree Dies were the perfect size for my scene so I die-cut 2 trees and leaves from white cardstock and inked them with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink and Twisted Citron Distress ink. I adhered them slightly overlapping the right and left sides of the background piece and trimmed the excess with scissors along the edges. To add a pretty purple to my card, I die-cut small and large flowers using the Wonderful Windows Dies. I inked the large flowers in the trees with Dusty Concord Distress ink and added white gel pen details. I Copic colored the small flowers and adhered them towards the top of the grass piece. (I reserved some of the small flowers to tuck behind the boardwalk) I then adhered the background piece to an A2 card front.

For my creek, I stamped the pond from the Country Scenes Stamps on a 2” x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I then adhered it even with the bottom of the card. Since the boardwalks on our trail have wooden beams along the sides where there’s water or drop-offs, I stamped a few birdhouse posts from the A Bird’s Life Stamps to add along the edge of the wood stamp from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. I colored these with Copics, fussy cut them out and adhered my boardwalk along the bottom of the card. I also tucked in the remaining small flowers behind it.

To finish, I stamped the biking pandas from the Bighearted Bear Stamps and 2 butterflies from the Bunnyville Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. Since Spring days are often breezy, I added a few fallen flowers to the boardwalk.

I hope you enjoyed my happy Spring scene and it brings a smile! 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.

Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a fun card featuring the Mini Grass border dies. I wanted to create a happy and cheerful card and I am so glad it turned out exactly how I had imagined.

I started by sponging a white layer using various teals, greens, distress oxide inks. Flick some water and add interest. Next, die-cut the oval arch using the Stitched Arch dies. Die-cut the grass using Mini Grass border dies. Die-cut one more arch from white cardstock, sponge salty ocean distress ink to the top. I inked a rainbow using lawn fawn rainbow stencil. Fussy cut it and adhere to the arch piece. Now I adhered, all the grass pieces.

Stamp the images, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies:
Panda - Bighearted Bears stamp and dies
Butterfly and Snail - Garden Fairy stamp and dies
Birds - Outback Critters stamps and dies
LadyBug - Garden Critters stamp and dies

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the versatile Sprawling Surfaces stamp set which will be a staple in my stash for sure! I love that you get three different textures, so the possibilities are endless.

I had been wanting to use the adorable houses from the Charming City for a while and they are the perfect match for the brick pavement. Since I incorporated several fun colors for the houses, my card base and frame needed to be more muted. To start, I created a simple white base and cut a panel with the border die from Frilly Frames Chevron and a tiled paper (Subtle Grey Tones pad). The largest Stitched Arched Die creates the perfect opening for any scene and you’ll end up with a an arched frame and an inner piece that I put aside for another project.

Next, I stamped the row of houses from Charming City and the cycling cuties from Bighearted Bears. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen. This time I opted for a more Mediterranean vibe and houses in bright colors.

For my background, I stamped the brick pavement onto a piece of white Neenah paper and used some more Copics in matching pink shades. The sky portion was ink blended with Distress Oxide Victorian Velvet.

I glued the background to my card base and added the row of houses directly above the brick pavement. Then I could mount the grey frame with foam tape. That instantly creates lots of dimension. Lastly, I placed the cute bears in front of the houses.

My sentiment (Heartfelt Wishes) was stamped in a purple die ink onto a white Brilliant Banner 2. It fitted perfectly above the row of houses. As extra embellishments I added a few white hearts (Bursting Hearts die), some leaves (Winter Greenery dies) and small flowers (Spring Garden dies).

I am sure you will create amazing projects with these great surface stamps! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Puddle Jumpers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am so done with those dark winter days! I had a lot of fun creating a happy Spring card with the adorable Puddle Jumpers stamp and die set! Those ducks are just the cutest! This time I went with a ‘new to me’ color combination and I really love how the yellow, purple, and green work together.

My card panel is a mini slim line that I cut from white Neenah card stock and a die that I grabbed in my stash. It was the perfect fit for the three puddles and the rest of the scene. I inked the top portion of the panel with Distress Oxide  Victorian Velvet (love that muted pink!) and a cloud stencil.

For this card, I envisioned a whole family of cute ducks on their way to mail a birthday card, together with the sweet girl from the same Puddle Jumpers stamp. The mailbox and letter are part of the Bighearted Bears set which is perfect for so many occasions!

As usual, I colored all the images with my copics in the chosen color combo. When I start a new project, I lay the cut images across the scene and decide for each of them which color from the chosen palette I am going with. Trying to spread the colors evenly and if possible, in a triangle shape.

The sentiment was selected from the Puddle Jumpers set and stamped directly to the card with Versafine Onyx Black and a purple ink from my stash. Then, I added this panel to a purple card base.

Finally, I adhered all the elements in place, starting with the puddles and the mailbox. Once they were glued down, I could arrange the girl with the umbrella and all the cute ducks! With so much going on, I decided to just add a few Crystal Clear Jewels to the sky portion.

I really enjoyed making this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Bighearted Bears Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here today with yet another CAS card featuring the Bighearted Bears stamps and coordinating dies. CAS cards don't have to be one layer cards, they just need to have more white space and can tell a whole story with minimal things. I went for a soft pastel look as I am ready for spring and these colors are so close to my heart. The adorable images and the sentiment make this card so special :)

I started by sponging kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade and salvaged patina distress oxide inks to a white panel. Flick some water and white paint to it.

Die-cut the arc onto a white card panel using the Stitched Arch dies. Adhere it to the inked panel using 3d foam. 

Stamp the images from the Bighearted Bears stamps, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card and stamp the sentiment. 

To finish, I added some chunky glitter all over the inked panel. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Gift Tags with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing some unique Valentine gift tags made with the new Envelope Gift Card dies. I thought this set would make fun tags to attach to some Valentine goodie bags I'm going to give to my family.  

These are so easy to make with the envelope die included in this set. I simply die some envelopes from a few different colors of card stock then folded the bottom and side flaps in and secured with adhesive. To make them into tags, I punched a small hole in the left corner and tied on some twine.  

Now of course I had to make some fun little note cards to tuck into these envelope tags. The note cards are 3 inches tall and 3 3/8 inch wide. I added some ink blending and splatters to the cards before adding the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment which comes from the My Heart set. 

When the note cards are pulled out of the envelope completely, there's a little surprise decoration revealed. I used images and word stamps from Big Hearted Bears to create simple scenes along the bottom of the note cards. I also decorated the outside of the envelopes.

There's word and heart dies included in the Envelope Gift Card set for this purpose. These were so fun to make and I have a feeling I'll be using this die set a lot for making little envelope tags for other holidays and occasions.
