Crisp Apple & Punny Apple Greetings Card with Alma

Hello my dears! This is Alma and today I want to show you my card featuring the wonderful Crisp Apple Dies. When I first saw them, I immediately thought of a delicious apple cider or an apple punch. Can you smell the card?

I die-cut the apples and colored them with Copics. Then I transformed the Summer Jar Mug die into a fall-themed glass and colored that as well. The Fresh Lemon Dies were, of course, a must for my recipe, as they added a really tasty note to my autumn drink!

For the card's frame, I used the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die. I blended the background with Distress Oxides and for the sentiment, I combined the Punny Apple Greeting Stamps with the "hugs" from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies. 

As a special touch, I glued a real cinnamon stick and a real star anise onto the card so you can all smell it too! Fall is here!

Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this Savanna Safari birthday card inspired by the Bighearted Bears card I made a few weeks ago. Once in a while, I like to look back at my cards to see which design I could recreate. Well, this time, I didn't have to look too far in the past, and thought that the tall and long rectangle windows were just perfect for the giraffe and her friends!

I started off by creating the background using some dies and pattern papers. I cut the frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden pattern paper using the main die from Comic Strip Speech Bubble. I kept the frame only and attached it on a Sweater Weather turquoise pattern paper using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green pattern paper. This time I kept the inside pieces only, and used the Mini Grass Border die to cut four grass borders that I attached at the bottom of each section using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used:

• Savanna Safari: giraffe, lion, zebra, toucan

• Fabulous Flamingos: tropical leaves

• Love Birds: branch, small leaves

• Chickie Baby & Chubby Bunny: flowers

• Love Monkey: vine

When the coloring was done, I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed my "Have a wild day" greeting from Savanna Safari on a slim aqua banner I cut using a die from Notebook Photo Corners, and tucked it on the top right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again.

As always I finished my card with highlights and details using a white gel pen, and a little bit of morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts to make them shine. And that's it! 

I hope that my card will inspire you to search for inspiration among your own projects. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Bighearted Bears Card & Treat Bag with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, super happy to be back with this lovely card and cute matching Treat Bag Topper showcasing the adorable pandas from Bighearted Bears. Love those little guys so much!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. And because pandas have neutral colors, I decided to go for a whole rainbow theme. Along with Bighearted Bears, here are the other stamp sets I used: ● Lovable llama - bow ● Panda Party - banners ● Special Day - hearts.

Next I worked on the card, and started by cutting several elements to build my little background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Dots & Stripes Pastels blue polka dot panel, a Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden textured pattern paper, and another frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green stripe paper. I kept the four inside pieces of that green stripe paper, and used the grass border die from Picket Fence Border Dies to cut four small grass sections.

I attached my wooden frame on the blue polka dot panel using 1mm foam squares, and added the grass borders using the same adhesives. I white heat embossed my "Love you beary much" greeting from Bighearted Bears on the upper part of the bottom left hand square, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Added morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts, and highlights on the images using a white gel pen, and moved on to the Treat Bag Topper. 

I used the Treat Bag Topper main die three times to cut the different parts of my little landscape out of the same pattern papers as before, assembled everything using liquid glue, and attached my images using 1mm foam squares.

And that's it! I really love how both pieces turned out, and those pandas are so very cute. I can't wait to use them on more cards! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Turkey Day Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here and I have two cards to share with you today that feature the adorable new Turkey Day Stamp Set. 

To start, I first stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored my images with Copic Markers and used the coordinating Turkey Day Die Set to cut them out.

For my first card, I only used one turkey from the images that I colored along with two pumpkins. I combined this set with the gorgeous Frilly Frames Lattice Die Set as well as the Fancy Frames Circle Dies to create a scalloped frame around a basic circle that I had die cut from some white card stock.

I layered my lattice onto an A2 sized teal background that I had pulled from the Sweater Weather 6" x 6" Paper Pad. I heat embossed my sentiment onto my banner that I had die cut from some orange card stock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

Lastly, I die cut some teal foliage from a variety of colored card stock pieces (as well as some heavy duty vellum) using the Winter Greenery Dies.

For my second project, I combined the Turkey Day Stamp Set along with the frame that comes with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die. I die cut my frame from white card stock and layered it on a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of plaid blue patterned paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad.

For my snow drifts, I used the negative pieces that I had die cut when die cutting the outer frame and fussy cut some rounded edges onto each piece with a pair of scissors. All of my images were added with some 3D foam adhesive tape for an extra pop of dimension. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today! If you'd like some more card making inspiration, feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM FEED. Wishing you all a lovely day!
