Silly Sloths & Fabulous Flamingos Tropical Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some tropical critter cards for Summer!

Card No. 1: I paired the Silly Sloths Stamps with the hanging vine border from our Tropical Scenes Stamps for my first card. For my subtle backdrop, I inked up a white cardstock panel with Wilted Violet distress ink before stamping the leafy vine from our Elegant Leaves Stamps repeatedly around the border using PinkFresh Studio Soft Lilac Ink and VersaFine Lilac Bloom Ink. I then trimmed down the piece down using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and mounted it onto a purple print from our Classic Gingham Paper pack. Lastly, I spelled out my oversized sentiment "hang in there" using our Chloe Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies cut from white cardstock.

Card No. 2: For my second card today, I stamped and colored the leaves and flamingo from our Fabulous Flamingos Stamps. I actually colored these more than five years ago, and these were the only images I had left that didn't make it onto an earlier card. I was determined to find a design to use all the images I had left, so I felt delighted with how this card turned out, given the limited supplies and mini challenge I had given myself. Even the circle frame, created by nesting our Stitched Circle Small Dies, was something I had cut out for a previous card and discarded to save for later. As a Northwest gal, I love it when I can recycle like that! 

I inked behind my circle using Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon distress inks and then splattered the surface with water using an old toothbrush. Our Brilliant Banner 2 Dies were inked up with a pink ombre to match my flamingo using Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo distress inks and then stamped with a greeting from the stamp set, which completed my card.

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.💛

Elegant Leaves Card with Bobbi

Hello. It’s Bobbi here with a card featuring the Elegant Leaves stamps and dies set by Sunny Studio. I love gold and pink together so this color combination works for me. I contrasted these beautiful, subtle autumn colors with a strong black and white stripe for a little punch on this card.

To create this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped the leaves and blossoms in this fall set using Distress Oxide Inks in Saltwater Taffy, Fossilized Amber, Ground Espresso, and Forest Moss.  I cut them using the coordinating dies. I set the leaves aside to work on the front panel background.

For the background, I cut 1/2″ strips from black cardstock and attached four of them to the front of a white A7 card base, distributing them evenly over the front. After attaching the strips, I used my Versamark Watermark ink pad to stamp the words, “Grateful for your kindness” on the black strips, aligning the words on the right hand side. I heat embossed the words in white, using an opaque white embossing powder. The “grateful” word is actually taller than the 1/2″ strip so the letters fall off a bit, but I liked keeping the strips even and left it as is. If this bothers you, you can make the strips just a bit wider to fit the entire scripted word. I think the “clean” look comes in keeping the strips the same size.

To complete the card, I attached the leaves to the left side of each strip to balance the words on the right. Lastly, I added specks of black to the leaves and around the leaves on the card base using a fine-tip black marker. Tip: I used a felt-tip marker v. a Copic Marker so there was not ink bleed in the inside of the card. This card does not require a separate front panel piece, keeping it light and flat for mailing.

Dotted Diamond Background Die Focused Card with Bobbi

Hello friends. It’s Bobbi here with a fall-inspired thank you card. I’m using some new fall products from the Sunny Studio Stamp's latest release including our Dotted Diamond Portrait Die and Elegant Leaves stamps and dies.

To create this A2 card, I cut the front panel using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I used the portrait version of this diamond design instead of the landscape version available here. At each dotted intersection, I added a dollop of Bronze Pearl Pen. I set the panel aside to dry.

I stamped, colored and cut the leaves using the Elegant Leaves stamps and dies.  I used Copic Markers in various yellow-rad  and earth brown colors. I hand cut the “thankful” scripted word since there is no die for this image. I attached the sentiment to the dotted diamond background using foam tabs to make it stand out. I attached the leaves using glue, tucking them behind the word to complete the design. I attached the front panel to the card base to complete the thank you card.
