Mermaid Kisses Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating an underwater scene with one of the cute mermaids from the Mermaid Kisses stamp and die set.

I started with a white card base and added a layer of white card stock which was cut with the outer die from Frilly Frames Stripes die and embellished with the Dotted Diamonds Portrait die. The card panel consists of a Stitched Arch cut from white paper, divided into three wave parts (Catch A Wave dies) and colored with blue inks from my stash. After cutting another arch, I used this one as my base to attach the wave parts. Then it was time to stamp the sentiment from Mermaid Kisses directly to the top of this panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I wanted my mermaid to rest on the sea bottom surrounded by beautiful corals so I stamped the ocean scene from Tropical Scenes and used the matching die to cut it out. To give it the ‘arch shape’ I used the largest Stitched Arch once more. After stamping and die cutting the mermaid and cute fish from Mermaid Kisses, I used my Copics to color all the images including the coral scene in vibrant tones.

Next, I added foam tape to this ocean border and mounted it to the bottom of the waves panel. Thereafter, this panel was adhered to the white diamond background. Finally, I added the fish, mermaid with crown, starfish, and seashells to the scene. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose the beautiful Iridescent Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with these sweet mermaids! Happy crafting!

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share an ocean themed card using the Sliding Window Dies!

To make this fun card, I started with the base panel. I cut a piece of 110lb white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and inked the top half of the cardstock using a cloud stencil with Spun Sugar Distress ink. (I have several layers of ocean scene adhered to the window portion, so a heavier weight cardstock added extra stability). I then cut a post-it note in a wavy pattern, masked the bottom 1” of the panel and inked the ocean with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks. I splattered a little water with a fan brush and once dry, masked the ocean and inked the bottom 1” with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder on the cloud portion approximately 1” from the top and right sides. With the inking complete, I die-cut the center of the panel with the Sliding Window Dies and the center of the top edge with the small semi-circle die included with these dies.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 7/8” for the pull-out panel that opens the sliding window. I inked this piece with a cloud stencil using Spun Sugar Distress ink, die-cut a hole protector from pink cardstock and adhered it to the center of the top edge. I punched a hole through the center of the hole protector and tied off a piece of teal cording.

It was now time to construct the sliding window mechanism. I adhered the small flap of the sliding window to the bottom of the pink cloud panel. (Video instructions for this can be found in the product details on the Sunny website).

For the panel revealed under the window, I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4” x 5 1/2", masked the bottom 1” of the cardstock and inked the ocean using the same Distress inks as before. I then inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder approximately 2” from the bottom of the cardstock. I adhered the sliding window panel to this bottom panel and then adhered the combined piece to an A2 card front.

For my ocean scene, I cut 3 pieces of white cardstock for the waves on the sliding panel (2 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 2 pieces 1 1/2" x 4 1/4"). I die-cut the top edge of each piece using the Catch A Wave Dies and inked the smaller pieces with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I also splattered a little water on these pieces. On the larger piece, I masked the very bottom, inked the ocean and then inked the bottom sand portion. I overlapped/adhered the small wave pieces behind the large wave piece. I then adhered the waves to the sliding window on the card front making sure to only apply adhesive on the window portion itself so the whole scene slides upward.

To finish, I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut all images as I used portions of some images to create this scene.

I used the following stamps:
Mermaid Kisses Stamps

Fintastic Friends Stamps

Ocean View Stamps

Outback Critters Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun card featuring the adorable Outback Critter Stamps. They decided to take a vacation to the coast! Tropical/ocean themed cards are my absolute favorite to make so I couldn’t resist a little surfin’ wombat and chillin’ koala on the beach.

I started this A2 card with the sky and ocean background. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and placed post-it notes across the panel 2” from the top edge to mask the sky. I inked the ocean with Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress inks. I then removed the post-it notes and inked the sky with a cloud stencil using Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

Next, I cut 2 strips of white cardstock (1 3/8”x 5 1/2", 2” x 5 1/2") and die-cut the top edge of each using the Catch a Wave Dies. I inked both with Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress inks and splattered a little water on them. I also used a white gel pen on the top of a few waves. I adhered these to the background panel with the 2” wide strip behind the 1 3/8” wide strip. For the sand, I cut a strip of white cardstock 1 1/4" x 5 1/2", die-cut the top edge using a Slimline Nature Borders Die and inked it with Antique Linen Distress ink.

I stamped all the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out. I used the following stamps:

Outback Critters Stamps
Tropical Scenes Stamps (islands, palm trees)
Seasonal Trees Stamps (large palm tree)
Ocean View Stamps (beach chair/umbrella)
Beach Buddies Stamps (beach hat)
Silly Sloths Stamps (flower on wombat)
Fabulous Flamingos Stamps (pineapple)
Tiki Time Stamps (coconut drink)
Surfing Santa Stamps (surfboard)
Tropical Paradise Stamps (hibiscus/leaves)

To finish, I heat embossed sentiments from the Beach Buddies Stamps on teal cardstock in white embossing powder. I fussy cut around the “Summer” sentiment and die-cut the “wishing you an endless” sentiment using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

Beach Buddies Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun summer card featuring the adorable Beach Buddies Stamps. Summer is my favorite season so making ocean themed/tropical cards is one of my favorite things to do!

This is a mini slimline card (card base is 6 1/4" x 6 1/2", scored on the 6 1/2" side at 3 1/4" and folded in half) and I started by cutting a 3” x 6” panel from white cardstock for the card front. I die-cut a piece of Eclipse masking tape using a Slimline Nature Borders Die and placed the tape across the panel 2 1/4" from the top edge. I then inked a soft sky with Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar Distress inks. I stamped the “happy” sentiment 1/2" below the top edge and 3/4" from the left edge.

Next, I masked the sky and tore a ragged edge on a post-it note. I applied the post-it note 1” below the horizon line and inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. Using Speckled Egg Distress ink, I very lightly inked a few inches below the beach and dotted the shoreline with a white gel pen. I also sprinkled a little water on the Speckled Egg area. I then adhered the panel to the card front.

For the waves, I cut 3 pieces of white cardstock (1” x 3 1/4", 2 1/8”x 3 1/4", 2 1/2" x 3 1/4") and die-cut the top edge of each piece using the Catch a Wave Dies. I inked them with Evergreen Bough Distress ink at the bottom blended into Speckled Egg Distress ink towards the top of each wave and sprinkled water on them. Since I tucked the critters behind the waves, I set them aside until I had my critters ready to adhere.

I stamped all the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I used the Beach Buddies Stamps/Dies and the Beach Babies Stamps/Dies (umbrella and beach ball). I then adhered the critters and waves to the card front as shown.

To finish, I die-cut a palm tree from the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and adhered it on the beach. I heat embossed the “Summer” sentiment on white cardstock with white embossing powder, inked over it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress ink and fussy cut around it.
