Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card featuring a custom sentiment made with the versatile Hayley Alphabet Uppercase and Hayley Alphabet Lowercase dies. I love the scripty font of these dies and how easy they are to connect in creating words. The possibilities are endless with these amazing products.

As I have mentioned before here on the blog, I am always in need of fun birthday cards! So, what better word to spell than ‘Congrats’. I die cut all the letters from pink card stock and adhered them together with some drops of liquid glue. The letters all overlap to create that fluid scripty font, having the word already created will give me the opportunity to play around with the correct placement in a later phase.

The Cherry Blossoms stamps were the perfect match for the cute bear from Panda Party. First, I stamped the layering flowers in three shades of pink inks from my stash. For the leaves, I kept with the cool tones and went with a vibrant blue color. I used the same color for the Winter Wreath. The panda was stamped, die cut and colored with Copic markers. Of course, he needed a party hat too!

With so much going on in this design, I created a simple striped background panel with a stencil from my stash. I placed all my components on the background and decided I needed another small sentiment (‘It’s your birthday’ from Little Birdie). I didn’t have a card base in the same blue color as my leaves and wreath, so I just inked up the sides of a white one for a perfect match.

Next, I glued the background panel to that base and popped up the wreath, flowers, leaves and bear with foam tape. Lastly, I added the ‘Congrats’ word and sentiment banner. A few blue jewels from the Bright mix were scattered around the wreath.

I am sure you will love these amazing alphabet dies as much as I do! Can’t wait to see all your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful birthday card featuring the Hayley Alphabet Dies.

I was inspired by my former team mate Kavya and her colorful creations! First, I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my slimline card base and inked the background with Broken Glass and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Inks. 

Now I stamped all my images from Panda Party, Fast Food Fun, Looking Sharp and Lovable Llama. I colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card.

Then I die-cut the letters, spelled "Spec-taco-lar" and adhered them. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the rest of the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it before adding highlights with a white gel pen.

I hope this happy card will brighten someone's day! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Easter Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello friends, Bobbi here! Today, I’m sharing a card for the Easter holiday. I’m using the Chickie Baby stamps (coordinating dies here) and a few carrot images from the Bunnyville stamps set (coordinating dies here). I’m also using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies for the grassy hills and the Spring Fever paper pad for the grass.

This card measures 6″ wide  X 5″ tall and fits inside a 5″ X 7″ envelope. I used this shorter width so that my 6″ square Spring Fever paper covered the full width at the bottom. This card could also be made into the popular, A2-size card with no seams, too. I just happen to like a bigger card to give.

I started by splattering my card front panel with watercolors. Using the grassy border from the Slimline Nature Borders dies and the grass pattern paper from the Spring Fever paper pad, I cut a couple rolling hills. I used two layers to make a foreground and background in the scene. I blended on some green Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink at the bottom for interest.

Next I stamped, colored (see colors below) and cut out my chicks, basket and the carrot images. I turned the large carrot on its side, punched out half of a 5/8″ circle and added two 3/8″ black wheels to make the carrot into a car. Now my chick fits inside perfectly and is ready to travel home for the holidays! Do you see his home?!

Copic Sketch Marker Colors used to color the images:
Carrots: YR07, YR68, YR65, YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01
Chicks: YR19, YR15, YR13, YR08, YR68, Y38, white Gelly Roll Pen for cheek highlights
Eggs: RV55, RV02, RV00, G00, G000, Y13, Y08, BG02, BB00, B000
Basket and bow: B04, B02, B00, RV17, RV55, RV02
Bunny Ears/Door: Bg01, B00, RV55, RV02
Shading: W4, W2, W1

All the cute images were set and glued in place. I added a black string to the carrot balloon. I stamped the “Happy Easter” phrase in the upper left corner to finish the card.

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’ve got a sweet Easter card to share with you using the beautiful Easter Wishes Stamps.

I started this card with a soft embossed look to the card front using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. This technique takes a little bit of time, but I think the results are worth it. First, I cut an A2 sized piece of ivory cardstock and die-cut a second piece of ivory cardstock twice using the quatrefoil portion of the dies. I placed a die-cut quatrefoil frame over the A2 cardstock piece as a guide and began adhering the inner quatrefoil pieces to the cardstock. I moved the frame as needed until I had completely covered the A2 piece. Where pieces overlapped the edges, I carefully trimmed them along the edges of the A2 piece with scissors. I then adhered the cardstock to an A2 card base.

Next, I worked on a sunrise sky. I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Stitched Oval Die and then I die-cut a Stitched Circle Small Die from Eclipse masking tape. I placed the circle towards the bottom of the oval die-cut as a mask for the sun and inked from the bottom working up to the top of the oval with Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks. I then removed the circle, placed the negative portion of the circle die-cut masking tape over the sky and inked the sun with Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink.

For the bottom grass portion, I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Oval Die and inked the bottom half of the oval with Twisted Citron Distress ink. I placed a smaller Stitched Oval Die across the bottom third of the oval and die-cut the piece. I then adhered it to the bottom of the oval sky piece.

 

Next, I stamped the images from the Easter Wishes Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish, I die-cut a flower from the Botanical Backdrop Die from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and added a stamped/die-cut leaf from the Cherry Blossoms Stamps and Dies.

Valentine's Day Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello Sunny friends. It’s Bobbi sharing some love in this little, red valentine featuring the Turtley Awesome Stamps and coordinating dies, the Scallop Heart Dies, and the Stitched Hearts 2 dies. This card measures 4-1/4″ wide X 5-1/2″ tall.

Using the heart dies, white cardstock and pattern papers from the All is Bright pattern paper pack, I cut hearts in various sizes as well as a front panel in red gingham and a 1/2″ wide pattern strip for an accent piece. I also stamped and cut out the turtles using the Turtley Awesome Stamps and coordinating dies. The turtles were colored using Copic Markers in YG67, YG07, YG05, YG03, YG00, RV55, and RV10.

I attached the hearts, layering the stitched white heart over the pretty pink scallop one. The turtles were attached using dimensional foam dots in front of the heart to make them stand out. I stamped the phrase and added faux stitches around the heart and the striped strip.

While the pattern paper I used is from a holiday-inspired pattern pack, I love that it can also be used any time of the year. The pattern paper looks like a colorfully striped ribbon with a little faux stitching on the edges. The red and pink ginghams are great for Valentines, too.

Inside, I kept it simple by adding one striped stitched heart. I like that it includes all the colors from the front. A heartfelt, personal message to my valentine around the heart will be the best part of the card.

Hey friends! Cathy here today and as we’re anxiously awaiting a new Sunny Studio release, I thought it would be fun to share a little love themed inspiration with the adorable Meow & Furever Stamps!

 

I chose a clean and simple design for this card and started by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock for the card front using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. I lightly inked the upper left and bottom right corners using Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and splattered a little watered down black acrylic paint in those areas with a paintbrush.

Next, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Critter Campout Stamps with black embossing powder approximately 3” from the top of the panel. I then heat embossed the “furbulous” sentiment with white embossing powder on black cardstock, cut around it and adhered it below.

 

For the focal point, I die-cut circles from white and light kraft cardstock using the Stitched Circle Small Dies, slightly overlapped them and adhered them to the card front. The Cherry Blossoms Stamps created a pretty accent. I stamped the petals using Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks on white cardstock and the stamens using Scattered Straw and Frayed Burlap Distress inks. I also added colored pencil accents to the blossoms and then die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

 

To finish, I stamped the cat image on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.
