Cruisin' Cuisine Food Truck Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fun food truck cards for Summer using our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps, I turned my truck into a "burger bus," using the mustard & ketchup bottles and small words to personalize the truck. Along the bottom "front" portion of my scene, I added a pair of bears using our Big Panda Stamps, giving them french fries and a soda to hold from our Fast Food Fun Stamps. For the scenery behind my truck, I added a grassy edge using our Mini Grass Border Dies and some stitched Fluffy Cloud Dies to the sky.

I ran out of a prominent spot to squeeze in a fun greeting on the outside of my card, so I added one to the inside instead, adding another burger and fries from the Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps with the punny greeting from our Fast Food Fun Stamps.

My second card pairs our Big Bunny Stamps with the donut and food truck from our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. I love how all the foods that go on the top of the truck can also mix and match with our other food images and are the perfect size for our big critters to hold in the foreground. To fill out the scene behind my donut truck, I added a city using our Cityscape Border Dies, a grass border strip cut from green cardstock, and the two trees from our Charming City Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the punny donut greeting using a sentiment from our Breakfast Puns Stamps.

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

Summer Sweets Ice Cream Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ice cream-themed cards for Summer using our Summer Sweet Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Summer Sweet Stamps, I created a 6-window grid using our Window Trio Square Dies, which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice. I then backed the openings with a pale pink polka-dot print I stamped using our Background Basics 2 Stamps. For my greeting, I stamped a punny birthday sentiment from the Summer Sweet Stamps onto a Brilliant Banner 3 Die cut from pale blue cardstock to compliment the blue in the glass dishes. I then filled all the openings with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-flavored ice cream treats, with a touch of red accents for the cherries and cola labels.

My second card pairs the swirl soft-serve ice cream cone and the phrase "Did you hear the scoop?" from the Summer Sweets Stamps with the ice cream truck and the hard-serve ice cream cone from our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. I had fun coloring one cone to look like chocolate chip mint ice cream to match the retro aqua ice cream truck! I carried through the retro 1950s vibe with a bubblegum pink polka-pot print using the same Background Basics 2 Stamps. and framed the elements on two Rounded Rectangle Mats. Lastly, I die-cut a small pennant strip from aqua-striped patterned paper from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack using the die from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies and stamped it with my greeting.

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

My Heart Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this set of five colorful tags showcasing, as very often, multiple things. My plan was originally to make one tag only, the one with the burger and fries, but I had so much fun making that tag that I decided to use the other signs from Cruisin' Cuisine to make more.

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 coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Next I worked on my greetings, and started by stamping five big greetings using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks:

• "Happy Valentine's Day" from My Heart using Lemonade ink

• "You're My Favorite" from Lovey Dovey using Freshly cut grass ink

• "Thank You", "Happy Birthday", and "Make A Wish" from Big Bold Greetings using Guava, Bubblegum, and Merman inks

And then I white heat embossed five phrases from Cruisin' Cuisine and Words Of Gratitude on dark gray slim banners: "You're the burger to my fries", "Have a sweet day" (twice), "Franks a lot for always being there" and "Soy happy we're friends".

Next I used the Scalloped Square Tag largest die to cut five panels out of different Classic Sunburst pattern papers to match my food trucks. And to make my panels rectangle and not square, I started off by die cutting the top of the panel and not the bottom. I shifted the die down about an inch, and then cut the bottom of the panel and not the top. I did the same with white cardstock to create five white tags that I glued at the back of each colorful tag using liquid glue.

To mute the front of each tag down a little bit, I cut five vellum panels using the smallest die from Stitched Rectangles, attached images and greetings on each of those vellum panels using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck them on the tags using liquid glue.

I finished each tag by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added black & white gingham ribbon at the top of each tag. And that's it! 

Making those tags was so fun, it was my very first time using Cruisin' Cuisine and I really loved coloring those cute trucks and shop signs! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
