Big Panda Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating a sweet card using one of my favorite stamp sets called Big Panda. By using the matching dies, the panda can hold several fun accessories.

After stamping this cutie, his hat and drink, I colored all the images with vibrant Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Next, I created a pink card base and made two white panels with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. One of them was cut on a diagonal angle, this will be the lower part of the card front. For the other chevron panel, I used a cloud stencil from my stash and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide. After gluing this panel to the pink card base, I mounted the white angled piece on top leaving some room to tuck in the cute panda bear.

To cover up the line between the two panels, I went with a border of tropical flowers from the Botanical Backdrop die. I love that this set gives you a gorgeous leave border as well as lots of individual layered flowers. These flowers and leaves were inked up with Distress Oxides Spices Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, and Picked Raspberry.

The sentiment is also from the Big Panda set and was stamped in matching Distress Oxide colors. There are separate dies for these two words, which is great!

Now it was time to put the card together! I first added the adorable Panda with his fun hat and cool drink. Next, I started playing with the positioning of all the flowers and leaves. It was a bit tricky to find space for the large sentiment, but in the end, everything worked out as planned. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose some teals from the beautiful Pastel Jewel mix. 

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with this fun panda! Happy crafting!

Juicy Watermelon Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and we are getting ready for Summer with this fun card featuring the Juicy Watermelon Dies set. My idea for this design was to expand the colors of the watermelons through the entire card. Browsing my stash, I came across the Fabulous Flamingos set and realized these cuties were the perfect match!

To start, I die cut the amazing Botanical Backdrop twice from white heavy card stock and colored one of them with blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks Bundled Sage (one of my favorites!) and Rustic Wilderness. Then, I glued this piece on top of the white one for extra sturdiness.

I also inked up a white background panel with a striped stencil from my stash and the same oxides. For dimension I added a few green splatters with a small paint brush. The background and layered frame were adhered to a white card base.

The Juicy Watermelon Dies are very versatile and of course I also had to include a slice with the cute little hearts. I kept the color scheme going with the same green oxides and added Abandoned Coral as my red shade. For the black seeds, I used a Copic marker.

I selected two cuties from the Fabulous Flamingos set and colored them with my Copics in matching coral colors. White gel pen details make the images pop even more. My sentiment was taken from the Radiant Plumeria set and I just love that large ‘Summer’ die cut combined with the greetings message. Both were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

After placing the juicy watermelons inside the botanical frame, I added the adorable flamingo’s and the sentiment. As a final touch, I sprinkled a few Iridescent Jewels.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with another example of how you can find inspiration among your cards/projects. Last week, I showed you that you can create the same background (or almost) on two cards but have different images and different themes on each card. Well, for today's card, I was inspired by the Winter Love Birds card I shared at the beginning of February, I really enjoyed making that card, and thought how nice it would be to recreate it using die cuts only. Challenge accepted :)

So, just like the other card, I started off by creating a cloudy snowy sky on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I used lost shadow and hickory smoke oxide inks along with a cloud stencil from my stash to make that sky, and then added texture to make it less flat. I mixed some hickory smoke oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and die cut all my bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock. Here is the detailed list of the die sets I used:

• Tree Branch: branch, leaves
• Build A Birdhouse: birdhouses, birds, pole
• Botanical Backdrop: snowflakes
• Sweet Treat House Add-On: bow
• Little Birdie: nest coordinating die

I added a little bit of shadows on all my pieces using oxide inks, stamped my "Sending winter hugs" greeting from Holiday Hugs in black on my panel, and then assembled and stuck everything using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Once everything was nicely arranged on my panel, I added a few details to finish my card: a Snowflake Polymer Clay Confetti in the center of each snowflake, a black pearl on each bird for the eyes, and three white dots in the center of each flower using white nuvo drops. 

And that's it! I really love how this card turned out, and I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
