Everything's Rosy & Potted Rose Floral Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral rose-themed cards using our Everything's Rosy Stamps and Potted Rose Stamps.

For my first card, I paired the layered stamp images from our Everything's Rosy Stamps with the smaller blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to adorn the bottom-left and top-right corners. For my card background, I turned to our Blooming Frame Dies. I used the die without a shim, which helped keep the pieces in place. I also quickly adhered them all to a piece of printer paper with liquid adhesive to help keep the pieces intact. After I had done this, I inked up my background using the same dye inks I had used to ink my leaves, fading it towards the center. Finally, I die-cut the "Happy Birthday" phrase from white cardstock using the same die set to place in the center.

For my next card, I used the same small blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to completely cover a 1.5" strip of green cardstock. The green base meant that even if small sections peeked through, it would blend in with the leaves and contrast nicely with the white cardstock from my overlapping card panels. I then die-cut a stitched edge to frame each side of my strip (to give the appearance that it's cut away to reveal the bottom floral layer) using our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "You Are So Lovely" from our Lovey Dovey Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, which I also heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a bit of shine and make it stand out crisply. I really love how this clean and simple design turned out!

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).

Outback Critters Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to create a fun birthday card featuring the Outback Critters stamp and die set! How sweet are these cuties! I love critters and these ones are just the best (that baby!)

The Blooming Frame die combined with a green paper from Flirty Flowers is the perfect background to set the scene for these animals. I glued this piece to a white card base to create a light and airy effect.

After selecting 5 cute images (Outback Critters stamp) I started coloring with my trusty Copics. I used extra vibrant colors for the parrots since the other images were merely in brown tones. To add even more contrast, I cut the large Wishes Word die three times from white card stock but added a red ombre with my markers.

Next, I stamped the ‘Warmest’ sentiment (Words Of Gratitude) onto the background panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I played around with placement of the animals until I was happy with the result. After adding a few Champagne clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

I can’t wait to see all these adorable critters featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Outback Critters Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here with you today. Instead of creating an Australia themed card with the Outback Critters Stamps, I thought it would be fun to use the sweet kangaroo image for a birthday. I combined it with the balloon bouquet from the Floating By set.

I started off with a lemon yellow A2 card base and cut the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies from white heavyweight cardstock. I left all the petal pieces inside of the die-cut and adhered the whole panel to a piece of fun foam. The white-on-white pattern in the background creates a bit of interest without appearing too busy.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the mama kangaroo with her cute baby. For the balloons and strings, I did partial die cutting as well as a little fussy cutting with scissors. I adhered the balloons behind the kangaroo image which I popped up with foam tape.

I cut the word 'happy' included in the Blooming Frame Die set three times from light aqua cardstock. Then I stacked the die-cuts on top of each other to make them more dimensional and sturdy. The word 'birthday' from the Prancing Pegasus stamp set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a small purple cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the sentiment and added two enamel hearts as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a happy day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun birthday card using the Outback Critters set. I decided to concentrate on the cute koalas:

I first inked the front of a white card base with Cracked Pistachio and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks and added ink droplets. Now I inked another panel with the same colors and die-cut the letters from it. After I had spelled the Happy Birthday on the card, I stamped the images onto white cardstock.

Here comes a list of the products used today:
Outback Critters stamps + dies (koalas, leaves, branch)
Purrfect Birthday stamps + dies (party hats)
Chloe Alphabet Dies

Then I colored the elements with Copic markers, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card, raising some parts with foam tape.

Have a fun day everybody and thanks for stopping by!

Poppy Fields Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a pastel birthday card using the beautiful Poppy Fields set. Although I love the classic red poppies, I decided to go with iceland poppies for my card:

First, I trimmed a panel of vellum slightly smaller than my white card base and die-cut the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace from it. After I had adhered it to the card, I stamped all the poppies, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered them to the card with foam tape.

These sets were used for today's card:
Poppy Fields stamps + dies
Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Dies
Blooming Frame Die
Crystal Clear Jewels

I used the following inks for my flowers:
Pink: Distress Ink Spun Sugar + Kitsch Flamingo + Picked Raspberry, MFT Cotton Candy
Yellow: Hero Arts Soft Yellow + Butter Bar, MFT Sunshine, Distress Ink Squeezed Lemonade
Orange: Hero Arts Soft Yellow + Soft Apricot, Distress Ink Dried Marigold, Memento Morocco

Now I die-cut the happy birthday from white cardstock and adhered it before finishing the card off with clear jewels.

Thank you for visiting today!

Hi everyone, Anja here. Poppies are some of my favorite flowers, so I was excited to create a card with the Poppy Fields Stamps.

I started with an A2 card base and trimmed the gingham patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper pack to the same size. I then cut one of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies from white cardstock and adhered it with foam strips.

Next, I stamped the layered poppies, leaves as well as the tiny ladybug from the Layered Basket set using dye inks (you can find the ink colors below). I used the coordinating dies to cut all the pieces out and arranged them on my card. I added a grass border (Picket Fence Die) at the bottom which I die cut from green grid paper (Gingham Jewel Tones Paper).

Dye Inks used:
Poppies: Altenew Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Crimson, Vineyard Berry, Grapevine; Simon Says Stamp Stone, Cobblestone; Leaves: Altenew Just Green, Hunter Green; Stems: Altenew Just Green; Ladybug: Altenew Heart Beat

Black details: VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

I die cut the words 'for you' included in the Gift Card Pocked Die set from black cardstock and double heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a glossy look. To finish off my card, I adhered three Crystal Clear Jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you soon!
