Gift Card Pocket Focused Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun birthday card using the Gift Card Pocket Die.

I first die-cut the cupcake from white cardstock and colored the pieces with Copic markers. After I had assembled the pieces, I scored the left edge to create a hinge. I adhered the scored part to the card base and covered the front with red patterned paper. Now I die-cut the gift card pocket and the words from white cardstock, colored the pieces with Copic markers and adhered everything to the card. Finally, I tied-on baker‘s twine to close the flap.

These are the sets I used today:
Gift Card Pocket Die
Cupcake Shape Dies
Surprise Party Paper

The new dies sets are wonderful, don’t you agree? I loved playing with them. Thank you for stopping by today, see you next week!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm sharing a colorful summer-themed card with a special feature. Instead of hiding the gift card at the inside of the card, I incorporated the Gift Card Pocket Die into the front card design.

First, I started off with a white A2 card base and trimmed down the striped paper from the Summer Splash Paper pack to the same size. I cut the medium Stitched Rectangle Die from ocean blue cardstock and also created a little wave border for the bottom using one of the Catch A Wave Dies.

Next, I die cut the gift card pocket out of pink shell patterned paper, folded the flaps backwards and adhered it to the blue rectangle panel. I decorated the gift card pocket with some sweet Beach Buddies Stamps which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to out the images.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in white. The scripty word 'Summer' (which I fussy cut) and the edge of the wave border were heat embossed with sparkly WOW! The Real Teal embossing glitter.

Finally, I assembled my card using liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and added three Crystal Clear Jewels that almost look like water droplets.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy your day!

Surfing Santa Cards and Video Tutorial with Franci and Candice

Hi there and Merry Merry Christmas! I hope you're having a lovely day celebrating the Holidays and I wish you all the joy and happiness for 2021! It's Franci here with you and I'm so very happy to celebrate with you today, with a fun interactive card that features the Surfing Santa mini set.

Fun fact: for today's project I was actually inspired by the TV news! Yes, cause every year, the day after Christmas as I watch the news with my family I always see how Christmas was celebrated in the world and all our friends from Australia are always at the beach, surfing in Santa costumes! Lol.

So I created this super fun interactive card (but also simple to make, I promise!) and I can't stop playing with my little Santa who can actually surf and move into the ocean waves.

To create this card I used the Surfing Santa set, it's coordinated dies, the Catch a Wave Dies and some basic shape dies.

Please take a look at how I created my card below and enjoy!

Hello and Merry Christmas my crafty friends! Candice here! I hope you are enjoying your day with family! I have one last tropical Christmas card to share with you today!

I used these Sunny Studio products for my card:

• Surfing Santa stamps & coordinating dies
• Tropical Scenes stamps & coordinating dies
• Sealiously Sweet stamps & coordinating dies
• Slimline Nature Border dies
• Slimline Basic Borders dies
• Snowflake Sequins

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base. For the background, I repeatedly stamped the palm tree silhouette with Orange Cream Altenew ink on orange cardstock and trimmed with the scalloped border die. I then heat embossed the sentiment in white on the bottom panel.

Next, I stamped all my tropical images from the sets listed above, colored them with Copic markers and used the matching dies to cut out. I lightly inked a sunset with dried marigold directly onto the card base and layered the images onto blue cardstocks, some cut from the wave die. I finished with some blue snowflakes, clear domes and Nuvo drops!

Thank you for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Surfing Santa Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a nontraditional, but totally fun Christmas card featuring Surfing Santa! This guy will definitely stand out in a sea of snowy Christmas greetings!

I started by die cutting a window into some light aqua cardstock using the Stitched Semi-Circle dies. I blended some Pinkfresh Studio Island Oasis inks from the bottom up for an ombre effect. I pieced together a small beach scene for inside the semi-circle. I made ocean waves with the Catch a Wave dies on aqua cardstock blended with a bit of Pinkfresh Studio Aquamarine ink. For the beach, I used the island die from the Tropical Scenes coordinating die set on some sandy cardstock and added texture with Copic markers. I blended a bit of Pinkfresh Studio Ocean Breeze ink for the sky.

I added my beach scene to a piece of polka dot patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Pastels paper pack. I stamped the sentiment from Surfing Santa onto the light aqua window piece in Pinkfresh Studio Tidal Pond. I popped the window piece up on the patterned paper with foam tape for dimension.

I stamped some trees from Surfing Santa in Pinkfresh Studio Tidal Pond on white cardstock and cut them out with the matching die before tucking them into my beach scene. I stamped the Santa and surfboard from Surfing Santa and the palm tree from Tropical Scenes in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I added a few highlights with a white gel pen and cut everything out with the matching dies. Once my images were on the card, I finished with a few Studio Katia Poseidon crystals. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello and happy Monday everyone!!! Mayra here with you today. I am so happy and excited to share this super fun card with you. I used the Surfing Santa stamp set. It is such a fun set. 

I began by die cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using the stitched rectangle from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set. I also used the tag and stitched circle from the Sliding Window Dies to create a coordinating tag. I then added color to each of these using Distress Oxide Inks. I used Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, and Fired Brick. 

Next, I colored my images using Copic markers. For the red areas, I used R12, E18, R46, R17, and R05. For the peachy orange areas, I used Y32, YR02, and YR14.  I then stamped the word greetings from the Season's Greetings stamp set in black ink and used the coordinating die to die cut it. Next, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Holiday stamp set onto the card along the bottom. For the tag, I stamped the sentiment from the  Surfing Santa onto the back. 

I hope you enjoy this card and tag set. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Stitched Semi-Circle Focused Cards with Tammy and Ana

Hi friends, Tammy here. Since it's July 1st, I thought a Christmas in July card would be a fun way to kick off the month. My card today is featuring the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, paired with the darling flamingos from Fabulous Flamingos. These cuties are ready to spread some holiday cheer, tropical style!

To begin, I cut white cardstock to a 5 1/2" square. using the largest die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, I cut out a window. Next, I ink blended a piece of Bristol cardstock with Abandoned Coral and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. Using the Catch A Wave Dies, I cut a wave border and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers for a nice, bright water line. I then cut a sandy border, using the Woodland Borders Die, and ink blended it with Antiqued Linen and Vintage Photo Distress oxide inks. Using a paintbrush, I flicked some thinned down brown paint onto my sand to create some interest.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets: Fabulous Flamingos/ Coordinating Dies, Merry Mice/ Coordinating Dies, Tropical Scenes/ Coordinating Dies.

Copic Colors used - Flamingos: R22, R20, R30, R00, Y38, Y35; Pineapples: YR24, Y35, Y15, Y11, YG17, YG03, YG01; Santa Hats: R22, R24, R29, R39, W0; Palm Trees: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01, E40, E42, E44

Using foam tape, I attached the white stitched panel over my inked background. I arranged the stamped images onto my card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension.

To complete my card, I stamped my sentiment (combining Fabulous Flamingos and Merry Mice) onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally, I attached my card front to a 5 1/2" square white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my tropical Christmas in July card! See you next time.

Hello friends! It’s Ana today with a fun card showcasing Stitched Semi Circle dies, Savanna Safari stamps and dies as well as some beautiful patterned papers! I wanted to create a safari scene but change up the colors a bit. Savannas get really green at certain times of the year so I thought some greens and yellows would look super cute and bright!

I chose papers from Spring Fling paper pack and started working on the background. I used stitched rectangle mat die (from Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies) to cut out the green background piece. I used the same die and partially die cut the yellow piece creating a square. Out of leftover green grass paper I die cut a lace border with Eyelet Lace Border dies.

Next, I used the second largest Stitched Semi Circle die and die cut the sunrise patterned paper and stamped the trees (from Savanna Safari) on the scene using olive green ink. I stamped the critters with Memento Tuxedo black ink, colored them with Copic markers and cut them with coordinating dies. Little bird and a flower are from A Bird’s Life stamp set.

I assembled the card by adhering the patterned papers with glue tape then popped the stitched semi-circle and the critters with foam tape and stamped the sentiment with black ink. I added some fun interest to the design with yellow confetti from Rainbow Dot Confetti pack and my card was finished.

I really hope you like this sweet card and got inspired to create some scenes with patterned papers and dies! Thank you so much for spending time with us today and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
