Froggy Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, back with this super fun shaker card featuring some Froggy Friends having fun jumping and hopping from a pad to another. I totally enjoyed creating this card, and I hope that it will inspire you!

So, as very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in various shades of green and also bright pinks for the water lily flowers to match with the shaker components.

Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Froggy Friends - frogs, large cattails, large pads, flies • Country Scenes - small cattails, water lily flowers on pads • Puddle Jumpers - frog umbrella • Feeling Froggy - fireflies.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then worked on my shaker panel. First, I cut a Comic Strip Everyday panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock and kept the frame only. I cut another one out of an Amazing Argyle teal woodgrain pattern paper, kept the five inside pieces only, and used a scalloped die from the Sweet Treat House Add-On to cut five slim scalloped borders out of those inside pieces.

Next I attached my woodgrain frame to a clear acetate panel using liquid glue, and stuck a slim scalloped border at the bottom of each window using liquid glue as well. On the upper part of the top right hand corner window, I stamped "You make me hoppy" from Froggy Friends using white Stazon ink (it dries quickly and doesn't smear on acetate) I flipped my woodgrain panel over, added foam strips all along the four edges and at the back of the slim window dividers as well, creating this way five spaces to pour lots of Frogs & Flowers confetti into. I peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached a Gingham Pastels teal gingham panel to the strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I attached my panel to a white card base and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I attached a few flies and fireflies here and there, and finally added white blizzard nuvo drops to the fireflies wings to make them sparkle. 

And that's it! What a cool and fun project it was to create, I hope that you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Puddle Jumpers, Froggy Friends, & Spring Showers Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some spring cards showcasing our Puddle Jumpers Stamps.

For my first card, I used the girl, frog umbrella, and baby ducks from our Puddle Jumpers Stamps, the frogs, lily pads, and cattails from our Froggy Friends Stamps, and the pond border from our Country Scenes Stamps. I love how they all came together! 

To ink up my pond, I stamped and fussy cut a mask (which I store with the stamps and have already used on a handful of cards) to protect the pond's edge and cattails before inking up the bottom half with Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I then cut the grassy hill in the background using our Mini Grass Border Dies and inked around the cattails in my pond scene with a Copic Marker so that they would blend into the grassy background. I also used Copic Markers to sketch some water rings around the pond's edge, each cattail, and flicking some blades of grass in the background. Lastly, I stamped a cute punny greeting from the Froggy Friends Stamps.

For my second card featuring the Puddle Jumpers Stamps, I paired the girl, puddle, and four ducks from the set with the duck umbrella, clouds, raindrops, and tulips from our Spring Showers Stamps, and the extra duck from our Farm Fresh Stamps. To frame my scene, I adhered our Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies to a 4.25" square card base, making sure to sandwich some yellow cardstock in between to show through the eyelet lace openings. I then masked off the scalloped edges with thin strips of masking material to form a square just inside the stitched square of the die and inked within by blending an ombre with Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron Distress inks. Lastly, I stamped the small "hello" greeting from our Lovely Lilac Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending a card to a loved one today. 💛

Designer's Choice: Penguin Pals Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this slimline card featuring the cutest penguin family celebrating the new year. It was super fun to create this lovely North Pole habitat for these guys, and as always I mixed and matched a bunch of images from different sets to achieve this super adorable scene.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and used my alcohol markers to color everything. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Penguin Pals - penguins, fish • Kiddie Pool - splatters • Bear Hugs - snow floe • Winter Scenes - igloos • Country Scenes - mountains • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, divided it in five sections, and used stencils along with oxide inks to create a lovely winter landscape. At the very bottom of the panel, I made the sea using a hill stencil along with uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks. I splattered water on the ink and dried the panel using a paper towel. I also mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my sea section.

Right above that sea section, I created three snowy hills using another hill stencil along with tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used my slim brush to add splatters on those snowy hills.

At the very top of my panel, I created a night sky using uncharted mariner, chipped sapphire and black soot oxide inks. I splattered water on the sky and dried the panel using a paper towel. I also mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky.

To achieve my winter landscape, I added falling snow and sparkling details. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, used my slim brush to add splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen. I white heat embossed "Happy New Year" from Holiday Greetings on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it on the sky section using 1mm foam squares. For the final details, I added a frosty effect to the snow on the trees and snow caps on the mountains: I first added liquid glue on those spots, sprinkled fine glitter on the glue, let the glue dry, and finally used a fluffy brush to get rid of any excess glitter.

And that's it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
