Designer's Choice Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun card using the cute Country Carnival set.

I die-cut the Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies from black and white cardstock, inked the white rectangles with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink, added ink droplets and adhered the black frame and the inked pieces to the card. Now I stamped the images, colored everything with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the scene to the card.

These are the sets I used today:
Country Carnival stamps + dies
Balloon Rides stamps + dies
Charming City stamps + dies
Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies

This set is the cutest, I'd love to join the little bears! Although the tiny images made me realize how much I need glasses :)

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a baby card to share with you today!  I used my favorite image from the adorable Baby Elephants for this project.  

To create my card, I started off by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper cut to 4" by 5.25".  I used Distress inks in Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot and Dusty Concord. Then I splattered on some gold watercolor and watered down white acrylic paint to add starts to my sky. I stamped and colored the little elephant sleeping on the moon, and die cut him with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies. The clouds are stamped from this set, and a few other Sunny Studio sets for various sizes. 

I arranged my scene and popped everything with foam tape. Before adhering anything down, I added a strip of blue striped paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pad.  A sentiment from the set was stamped onto a white banner and tucked under the clouds. Then, I die cut some starts from gold glitter paper using the Basic Mini Shapes II dies. The panel was popped up on an A2 card base, and I added some white gel pen accents to finish off my card.

Designer's Choice Cards with Gladys and Alma

Hello everyone! Gladys here with a cute baby card using the adorable Baby Elephant stamps and dies.

First I began with an A2 size panel cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I created the background using distress oxide inks. I used a cloud stencil on the bottom half of the panel with the color tumbled glass. For the top half I used chipped sapphire on the outer edge and tumbled glass in the center. For interest I splattered water droplets, diluted chipped sapphire, and diluted bleed proof white paint using a small fan brush.

While waiting for the panel to dry I chose three images from the Baby Elephant stamp set. I stamped them onto 110lb cardstock and colored with copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I adhered the images with double sided foam tape to give dimension. For the sentiment I white heat embossed on vellum. For a final touch I scattered a bunch of small iridescent stars all over the panel. That completes my card, I hope you like it. Have a wonderful day!

Hello, this is Alma and today I want to show you a summerly beach card. As a basis for my card, I chose the frame die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die set. This is a great way to create several small scenes on a card that fit together perfectly.

 

First I stamped the images from the Sealiously Sweet Stamps, Ocean View Stamps and Beach Buddies Stamps sets and coloured them with Copics. I coloured the seals in warm shades of gray and gave their fur a bit of structure with dots and a white gel pen.

 

Then I wiped beach backgrounds with Distress Inks and glued everything together. The figures are glued on with 3d pads. Finally, I punched out the speech bubble from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die Set and stamped the text on it. The card is ready!

Bunnyville Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here with a sweet Easter themed card to share with you today! 

To create this card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I masked off the bottom part of the panel and blended above the mask with Tumbled Glass distress ink, then moved the mask and blended below the Tumbled Glass with Twisted Citron distress ink. I splattered on some clean water to bleach out some spots. Then, I stamped and colored several images from the adorable Bunnyville stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Bunnyville dies. I arranged my scene on the panel, and adhered some with a glue pen and popped up some pieces with foam tape. 

I stamped a sentiment from the set above the scene, and added a trio of diecut clouds using the Comic Strip Everyday die set. Before popping the panel up on an A2 card base, I added a strip of pastel striped pattered paper from the Spring Sunburst 6x6 paper pad. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a mini slimline card using the adorable Bunnyville set.

I trimmed a panel of pink patterned paper from the Flirty Flowers paper pad slightly smaller than the card base and adhered it to the front. Now I die-cut the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die from white paper, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. I die-cut the scalloped border from the Slimline Pennant set from purple patterned paper and added this to the top of the card. 

Then I stamped my images onto white cardstock, colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card with foam tape. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Critters on the Go onto a strip of purple cardstock, notched one end and adhered it.

Are you ready for spring? I can tell you, I am SO ready! Can't wait for flowers and sunny weather. Creating with these cuties makes it easier :)

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Passionate Penguins Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project to share with you all! I am in love with the new release and as always… IT IS FREAKIN VERSATILE! Here is a summer card using a bunch of my fav stamps :) 

I first started of by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Passionate Penguins, Beach Buddies and Beach Babies stamp sets. For the land and water, I die cut them our of colored cardstock using the Slimline Nature Border dies. For the sky, I ink blended it using Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass distress oxides. As always, I splattered some white paint on the land, sky and water to add some drama! 

Then, I created a bunch of scenes using a comic strip die. I used another brand but you can always use Comic Strip Speech Bubbles! Finally, I layered it on top of some purple Flirty Flowers pattern paper. I didn’t add a sentiment on this card but you always add one if you’d like. I have been making a lot of non-sentiment cards lately just so that I can use them for any occasion.. especially if I am using a lot of critters!

That’s it folks! I hope you liked this project. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more inspiration :) Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone, Isha here with you! Today I have this cute card featuring our new Passionate Penguins stamp and coordinating dies. Now the motivation for this card is my younger daughter as we do a lot of chilling together because she is still in school and I totally enjoy it. The images are so adorable in this set that I wanted to use as many as possible. The Comic Strip Everyday die is perfect, I felt.

To start, I stamped all the images onto alcohol friendly cardstock from the Passionate Penguins stamp set, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

I then die-cut a white cardstock using Comic Strip Everyday die. Adhere the frame to a white cardbase. Sponge the sky onto the inside parts of the die-cut pieces, using pink distress ink. Die-cut the grass from the Picket Fence dies, sponge salvaged patina distress ink and adhere to the pieces. Adhere these pieces to the card. Add all the die-cut images to the card using 3D foam. Stamp the sentiment. Add white dots to the umbrella for added interest. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Stitched Rectangle Die Focused Cards with Mayra and Ashley

Happy Monday everyone! Mayra here with you today, yay!! I am sharing this fun summer-themed card using the awesome Stitched Rectangle dies.

I began by coloring the images from the Beach Buddies, Tiki Time, Outback Critters, and the Balloon Rides stamp sets that I would use for my card. I used Copic markers. For the yellow areas, I used Y11, Y08, Y19, and YR24. For the pink, I used RV52, RV21, RV23, and RV06. For the teal, I used BG11, BG10, BG13, and BG49.

Next, I die cut the base panel, and an extra-base panel using the largest of the stitched rectangle in the set. Then I created a frame using the largest die and the next size down. The patterned paper is from the Dots & Stripes Pastels set.

For the sand area, I used the Slimline Nature Borders die set, and for the waves, I used the Catch A Wave dies. The speech bubble is from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set.  I added color to the base panel using Distress Oxide inks, I used Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry. For the waves, I used the color Salvaged Patina Distress ink.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hi friends! It's Ashley with a pretty card featuring the Stitched Rectangles die set! I had so much fun pulling out an old set for my card last week that I decided to pull out another old favorite to combine with the new dies this week! The final result was this monochromatic Pink Peonies card - or should I say Teal Peonies?

I started by using the three Stitched Rectangles on two colors of teal cardstock (one medium, one light) and one piece of polka dot teal paper from Dots and Stripes Pastels. I layered my die cuts onto a dark teal card base for a blocked ombre look in the background.

I stamped all the images from Pink Peonies in Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock so I could color them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I added a few details with a white gel pen, then cut everything out with the matching dies before layering them onto the card. I die cut the "for you" from the Gift Card Pocket die set three times out of the same dark teal cardstock I used for my base. I glued them all together for a dimensional sentiment and added it to the card. To finish, I added a scattering of Aquamarine jewels.

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