Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hi, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I have a card to share that features the Tree Branch Dies along with other products.

As I so often do, I started at the back and worked forwards. To that end I die cut pink cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die and popped out all of the hearts and layered the piece on top of a white A2 panel and then glued to my card base. I took another white A2 panel and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die and I snipped out the divisions to leave a skinny frame.  This was backed with foam tape and applied to the heart background. I die cut a circle from the same pink cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Lovey Dovey, this was also applied with foam tape.

I die cut two tree branches from white cardstock using the Tree Branch Dies and coloured with Copic markers. I also stamped the birds and blooms from Love Birds using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa, and die cut using the coordinating dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Branches - E44, E42, E31, E41
Leaves - B04, B12, G40, G20
Birds - B04, B12, B41, BG70, Y17, YR31
Blushes and Blooms - R85, R83, R81

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few points then the  branches and birds were applied with foam tape and leaves and blooms glued in their positions and with that ... the card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Bighearted Bears Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a Valentine’s card pairing the sweet Bighearted Bears Stamps with a fun bold sentiment from the My Heart Stamps.

I chose a soft pink, cream and gray color scheme to really make those adorable pandas take center stage. I started by cutting a piece of cream cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and inked it with Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks just short of the edges of the cardstock. I splattered a little watered down Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White with a fan brush. After the piece was completely dry, I heat embossed the sentiment from the My Heart Stamps with white embossing powder. I then adhered this piece to the top of a white A2 card base.

Next, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 2” x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using the Quilted Hearts Portrait Die. I adhered this to the bottom of the card front. I cut a piece of cream cardstock 1/2" x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using a Heartstrings Border Die. I adhered this to a 1/4" x 4 1/4" strip of black cardstock overlapping it until just a thin portion of the black strip was visible. I then adhered this combined piece along the top edge of the gray cardstock. Using another die from the Heartstrings Border Dies, I die-cut a piece of pink cardstock and adhered the small hearts to the cream die-cut piece.

To finish, I stamped the bears on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added a few extra hearts by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Bursting Hearts die, inked them with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a little shine.

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.

Love Birds Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and my last card for the year is a sweet love themed one. Star of the show are the adorable cuties from the Love Birds which comes with matching dies. How sweet is this Valentine’s Day set!

You can never have enough hearts on a love themed card, so I went all out with the beautiful Bursting Hearts die. I cut this panel from white cardstock. Not only do you get a gorgeous background, but also lots of cute hearts as an extra bonus. I put them in a little bag to use on later projects.

There are so many ways in which this panel can be used so today I decided to select a blue dotted paper from Dots & Stripes Pastel. Layering the white heart panel on top creates a fun contrast. Especially when you also add a heart (Scalloped Heart Dies) and ink it in a bright red color with blending brushes and Distress Oxide Lumberjack Plaid.

I selected two cuties from the Love Birds set and colored them with my Copics in happy colors that would match my background elements. The sentiment was selected from the same set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from my stash.

The two birds and the banner were mounted to the heart with foam tape, and they fit just perfect. It’s a great focal point for this multi-layer card. A few Silver Jewels were scattered around the cute couple as a final embellishment.

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 a very Happy New Year!

Love Bird Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with you with a valentine theme card featuring the Love Birds stamps and dies. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Moving from all the holiday cards to valentine theme card felt like a big change...lol.

Stamp the images from the Love Birds stamps, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. Stamp the sentiment using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder and adhere to the card.

Scrumptious Cupcakes Card with Marine

Hi crafty friends, Marine here today to offer you a delicious cupcake from Scrumptious Cupcakes! I created this birthday shaker card using bits and pieces from different sets, and the first thing I did was to create the background. 

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and used distress oxide inks to color it. From the center: kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade and salvaged patina. As always I splattered the panel with water and white ink to make it less flat, and set it aside to dry.

Next I worked on the shaker panel. I cut a white Bursting Hearts panel, as well as a white frame using a die from my stash. I attached the frame on the front of the bursting hearts panel, and at the back I stuck an acetate panel. Still at the back of the bursting hearts panel, I attached foam strips all along the four edges, added golden heart sequins on the acetate, and then stuck my oxide ink panel on the foam strips to close my shaker panel. I attached it on a card base, and then moved on to the cupcake.

I created it using Lawn Fawn Inks. For the cupcake case I used butter + lemonade + sunflower inks, for the cupcake itself I used doe ink, and for the frosting I used ballet slippers + peachy keen + wild rose inks.

I cut each element using the coordinating dies, and set them aside for a minute because I wanted to add a small background behind my cupcake. As a base I cut a scalloped circle out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels pattern paper using a Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, and then I cut a gold glitter frame using the same Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die as well a Stitched Circle Large die to create a frame that I attached on the scalloped circle.

I stuck my scalloped element in the middle of the Bursting Hearts panel, and then the cupcake on top using 1mm foam squares. Next I white heat embossed my greeting on a Notebook Photo Corners black banner combining words from Garden Fairy and Panda Party, and I attached the banner below the cupcake.

And that's it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Garden Critters Cards with Catherine and Marie

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, it’s February 1^st and Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away!  I created a Valentine’s Day card with some of the cute bees from Garden Critters Stamps which coordinated nicely with Just Bee-Cause Stamps.

To start, I ink blended a piece of A2 white cardstock with Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Festive Berries Distress Oxide.  Next I die cut the beautiful Bursting Heart Die out of white cardstock and adhered it onto the background. I ink blended some of the white hearts from the Bursting Heart Die with Festive Berries Distress Oxide and adhered the hearts onto the background.

I stamped and die cut the bees from Garden Critters Stamps and the bees and bee hive from Just Bee-Cause Stamps and die cut the images with coordinating dies. I added some “heart” branches from Love Monkey Stamps and I colored all the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

For the sentiment, I ink blended Festive Berries and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide onto white cardstock and I trimmed the banner with my paper cutter. I white heat embossed the sentiment from Just Bee-Cause Stamps. I finished off the card with the word “Bee” using the new Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies ink blended with Festive Berries Distress Oxide.

Thanks so much for joining me today! For more Valentine’s inspiration, please feel free to visit me at Crafti-Cat.

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I am happy to be back on the blog sharing a new card! For many people across different cultures, ladybugs, grasshoppers, dragonflies, and even bees are a symbol of good luck, good fortune, and prosperity so I decided to create a Good Luck card featuring the Garden Critters Stamp. This card is perfect for anyone who needs some warm encouragement! 

To create this card, I first start by die cutting an A2 sized panel from Neenah Solar white 110 lb cardstock paper. I then used the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die to cut a super cute scalloped panel from the new Spring Fever Paper. I then attached the pattern paper to the white panel using some double sided tape adhesive. 

To create the leafy wreath I used a single leaf die from the Autumn Greenery Dies. I ink blended all my leaves using Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. For my "good Luck" sentiment, I used the new Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. 

Next, I stamped all the garden critters onto watercolor paper using Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen. I then watercolor all my images using Faber- Castell watercolor Pencils. Finally, I used the corresponding Garden Critters Dies to  cut out all the images. 

To complete my card, I die cut an oval from Translucent Vellum paper and adhered it to the center of my pattern paper. I layered all the leaves around the vellum  to create a wreath. I adhered the leaves using double sided tape adhesive and foam tape to add some dimension. Next, I added the garden critters using some Bearly Art Precision Craft glue and foam tape. Lastly, I adhered the sentiment and added some spare die cut hearts as a finishing touch. 

And that does it for this week's project inspiration! Thank you for joining me today! Until next week, Happy Crafty Cardmaking!!

Puppy Love Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hello Friends, Waleska here! I am back today to share with you my last card of the year! It is super lovely and I know you will love this cute new Puppy Love stamp!

I started my card cutting the Bursting Hearts die with white cardstock, I then adhered a red cardstock behind this piece. I then cut the smallest heart from the Stitched Heart 2 Dies with the same red cardstock I used before and place this piece to the center.

I stamped the cute dog with the heart and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. I hand cut the dog to put it as a focal point on my card, and finally added the sentiment you are pawsome! Just an adorable little set for your love cards! I hope you have a wonderful end of the year and a happy new year!

Hello crafty friends! Marine here with you today, I'm so glad to be back on the blog to share my final project of the year, showcasing the ever so cute Puppy Love critters on Valentine treat boxes!

I built five simple rectangle boxes (using a video tutorial found HERE), and I wanted them to be colorful, so I picked papers from the Flirty Flowers paper pack to create a rainbow of boxes. I also wanted the recipient of the box to have a peek at what's on the inside, so I used a die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 die set to cut an opening in the middle of each lid. And to close each opening, I used acetate.

I stamped the Puppy Love cuties on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them using the  coordinating dies, and as always I colored everything using my alcohol markers. And I colored the hearts so that they match the boxes.

Next I white heat embossed five "You're pawsome" greetings from Puppy Love on black cardstock, trimmed them into slim banners, and then I attached the puppies and the sentiments on the boxes using foam squares.

Finally I added white highlights on the images using a white gel pen, and applied Stardust Glitter on each heart to match the sugary and yummy fruit jelly treats inside the boxes. And that's it, super easy and very cute, love those adorable puppies! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next year!
