Stitched Square Die Focused Cards with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing some creative ways to use the new Stitched Square Dies. This 9-piece die set is intended to help you create perfectly square mats with stitched detail for your cards. However, when all the dies are nested and run through a die-cut machine, you get square frames. 

I picked out several colors of card stock and then nested all the dies to get a bunch of different-sized frames. I've made a couple of cards to show how I used these frames in fun ways.

The first card is A2 size. I added some background texture with Dotted Diamond Landscape die. Next, I took the 2.5-inch frames in all the colors and overlapped them across the width of the background panel. I had to cut each frame apart in one spot to connect them all together like a chain. The cut part gets hidden when all the frames are adhered in place. I added a simple Hello Word die-cut to finish off this card. 

My next card started with a 5-inch square card base. I then added a Scalloped Square mat created with the largest die in the Scalloped Square 1 Large die set. Next, I adhered a rainbow of frames going from largest to smallest. Starting with the light pink frame, I angled each frame slightly up from the last. This creates a spiral effect with the frames. To finish, I added the "thank you" using the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies and some clear sequins.

Summer Jar Mug Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am celebrating warmer days to come with this fun card featuring the Summer Jar Mug dies. This set has all the accessories to create your own refreshing drink!

To start, I cut a rectangle background panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron and embossed it with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. It’s such an easy way to give tons of texture to an otherwise plain white piece. Next, I made a colorful purple label using a sheet of the Spring Fever papers and the largest Limitless Labels die.

After gluing both pieces to a white card base, I started cutting all the elements I needed for this card from white Neenah paper using the Summer Jar Mug dies, leaves from the Summer Greenery and fruit from Fresh Lemon.

Using a grip mat and some blending brushes makes coloring die cuts fun and very easy, the Distress Oxides I selected are Shaded Lilac, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber. I added texture by splattering with a small brush. For the little umbrella, I went with a beautiful yellow flower pattern from Spring Fever papers.

To put the scene together, I used repositionable tape and worked in layers. The combined sentiment was taken from the Beach Bus set and I completed this card with some yellow embellishments (Pastel Jewels Mix).

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Wicker Basket Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and since Spring is in the air I made another Easter card with the cute Wicker Basket Die. Not the traditional wooden look this time but a colorful flower one filled with pastel eggs!

For my background I cut a panel from white cardstock with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes Die. I used some blue ink from my stash for some fun splatter. Next I added even more texture to this piece with the beautiful Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. The grass portion of the scene is build with two layers and I used both of the Mini Grass Borders Dies. In search of a green that would match the leaves in my pattern paper for the basket I went with a mix of Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. Of course, these pieces needed some splatters too!

Starting with a white card base I glued the dotted panel and the biggest grass border with liquid glue, the second grass border was popped up with foam tape. The Wicker Basket Die set comes with all the pieces you need for the perfect Easter hamper. For the basket I choose a beautiful floral pattern from Spring Fever. This was my inspiration for the color scheme of this card. The handle and part of the bow were cut from a blue gingham sheet (Gingham Pastel). Soft blue, pink and yellow pastel eggs were splattered and coated with some Stickles Glitter Glue for a ‘sugar coated effect’!

Most of my cards include critters and today three cuties from Chickie Baby are searching for the Easter Eggs! And they have found a lot already! All the coloring was done with my Copics in happy colors that would match my color theme.

I mounted the basket and bow to the background panel and added the Easter eggs, then it was time to scatter the chickies in and around the hamper. The sentiment was selected from the Big Bunny set and added to the grass border. A few soft blue Pastel Jewels were the perfect embellishment for this project. 

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Spring Garden Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a card featuring the Spring Garden Dies paired with elements of the Wonderful Windows Dies to create a gardening bench!

This is an A2 card and I started with the background panel on the card front. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", inked it with Lilac and Orchid Simon Says Stamp inks and die-cut it with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I then die-cut the piece again with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a white card front.

For the lattice, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the notebook paper die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies and then die-cut the center of it using the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. This created a frame for the lattice. (You could also just cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” in place of the notebook paper die, but I liked the slightly rounded corners that this die produces.) Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” and die-cut it using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die. I then adhered the frame over the lattice and adhered the combined piece to the card front 1/4" from the top of the lilac background panel. I was able to line the lattice up with the lines of the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die background, but you could also back the lattice with an inked piece of cardstock before adhering it to the card front.

For the drawer portion of the bench, I die-cut a shutter twice from white cardstock using a Wonderful Windows Dies, layered them together and adhered them slightly overlapping the bottom of the lattice using foam dimensional tape. I die-cut drawer pulls from silver cardstock using dies also found in the Wonderful Windows Dies. I used a combination of inking and Copic coloring on the Spring Garden Dies. I just love the details of these dies and the cute little gardening tools!

To finish, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die, embossed a sentiment from the Watering Can Stamps with white embossing powder and inked it with Memento Lulu Lavender ink.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Big Bunny Card with Nicky

Happy Friday everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a playful Easter card with you featuring the super duper cute Big Bunny stamp set.

I kicked things off by using the Dotted Diamond Landscape Die to die cut the background panel which I then softly ink blended in some dreamy pastel colours.  I glued this to my card base.

The next task was to stamp the bunny image three times with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and I coloured using the following Copic marker combinations:

Bunnies - C3, C1, C00
Blushes - R85, R83, R81, R000
Yellow - Y15, YR31, Y0000
Pink - RV02, RV00
Mint - G00, G000

The images were die cut with the Big Bunny Dies and arranged on the background which meant they were hanging over the edges and so once adhered with glue I flipped the panel over and cut back neatly to the edges of the card base.

I popped a small piece of dimensional foam tape under the bunny's ear in the centre of the card where they are layered one on top of one another and under the bouquet and Easter egg.

To complete the card I highlighted a couple of points with a white gel pen and gave the bunnies eyelashes. I die cut a frame using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and backed it with foam tape and applied to the background and finally I stamped and die cut the sentiments and applied with foam tape also.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today and are inspired to go and create something soon!

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm showcasing the Beautiful Bluebells layering stamps and coordinating dies. No floral arranging experience needed with these. The way the images are designed, makes it very easy to create a nice bouquet.  

I started this card with an A2 size white card stock panel then gave it subtle pattern with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. Next I adhered a die cut Stitched Oval to the center of my background panel. This oval helps to ground and spotlight my Bluebell arrangement.  

I used the Watering Can stamps to create a container for my Bluebell arrangement. I stamped it in two shades of gray and then splattered with some rust colored ink. I used the coordinating Watering Can die to cut out. I then stamped the "happy birthday" sentiment onto the center.  This stamp comes from Inside Greetings Birthday. 

To create the Bluebells I used these colors of Altenew ink: Iceberg, Eastern Sky, Ultramarine, Azurite for the blues; Parrot & Olive for the greens. Once I had enough flowers to make a full arrangement, I added them into the Watering Can which has a slot cut out for the stems. I adhered this entire piece to the oval with foam tape. I left an open spot in the arrangement to place a butterfly. This image is included in the Watering Can stamp set. To finish, I added a gingham bow and a few sequins.

Big Bunny Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to share this sweet Easter card with you. Isn’t this the cutest Big Bunny you have ever seen? The stamp set comes with several accessories and the matching dies also cut the little paws so bunny can easily hold the flowers, letter or Easter items. I really love this larger size of stamp, similar to the adorable bear from Holiday Hugs.

I don’t often make yellow cards but for this one I went all out using a bright background created with the outer die from Frilly Frames Polka Dots, the Dotted Diamond Landscape cover plate and a paper from my stash. After gluing this piece directly to a white card base, I started working on my envelop using the Gift Card Envelope die. Of course, I selected a fun flower pattern from Spring Fever.

Next, I stamped and die cut the adorable bunny and the flower bouquet from Big Bunny and used the pattern paper as my inspiration for the Copic coloring. Some soft pastel tones this time which is perfect for Spring and warmer days to come.

The ‘Easter’ sentiment was selected from the same set (Big Bunny) and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The Big Bunny Dies include the word ‘Greetings’ so after stamping I could use the matching die. The combined sentiment fitted nicely on the back flap of the envelope. Finally, I tucked the sweet bunny inside the envelope, put the bouquet in his little paws and added this piece to the yellow backdrop. I love that it completely fills an A2 card size! A few Gold Jewels were the only embellishment this project needed.

I had a lot of fun creating this cute card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Big Bunny Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a fun spring theme card featuring the adorable Big Bunny stamps and coordinating dies. I know I am so very ready for spring, which shows in my color choices these days :)

I started by sponging kitsch flamingo, worn lipstick, dried marigold and wild honey distress oxide inks to create the background. Flick some water. Use the Dotted Diamond Portrait die to add texture to this panel.

Die-cut the grass using Mini Grass Border die, sponge using mowed lawn and peeled paint distress ink. Adhere to the panel. Stamp the images using the Big Bunny stamps, color using the copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

This adorable bunny can hold things as there is a separate die to die-cut the hand part, it's such a sweet and cute idea.

Adhere the card to a white cardbase. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
