Juicy Watermelon Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog today with this bright summer card featuring a mix and match of items, including the Juicy Watermelon die set. I love that Sunny Studio has come with fruit dies for summertime (Fresh Lemon, Strawberry Patch, Wild Cherry) and I can't wait to share more cards with those brand new items.

For today's card, I started off by cutting bits and pieces out of colored cardstock to build three Juicy Watermelon slices, as well as tropical leaves using Summer Greenery, and tropical flowers using the free gift with purchase. I set all those elements aside, and stamped 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.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Panda Party for the pandas • Seasonal Trees + Sending Sunshine for the palm trees • Special Day for the hearts • Fabulous Flamingos for the leaves, flowers and watermelon slices • Tiki Time for the toucans and cocktails

Once the coloring was done, I cut a Strathmore bristol smooth slimline panel, covered it with saltwater taffy oxide ink, and used a stencil from my stash along with worn lipstick, festive berries, shabby shutters, mowed lawn and hickory smoke oxide inks to create a watermelon pattern. I splattered water on my panel that I dried using a paper towel, mixed some black soot oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the paper, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I attached everything on my slimline panel using liquid glue and foam squares, leaving enough space for my greetings, and then worked on those greetings which are from Beach Bus. I embossed "Summer" on yellow cardstock and cut it using the matching die. And I embossed "Happy" and "Enjoy" on aqua cardstock, trimmed them into slim banners, and then attached those three pieces on my panel using 2mm foam squares. As always I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finally applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts to make them sparkle. 

And that's it! I love tropical scenes, so I had a lot of fun mixing and matching products on this Juicy Watermelon card, I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Juicy Watermelon Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and we are getting ready for Summer with this fun card featuring the Juicy Watermelon Dies set. My idea for this design was to expand the colors of the watermelons through the entire card. Browsing my stash, I came across the Fabulous Flamingos set and realized these cuties were the perfect match!

To start, I die cut the amazing Botanical Backdrop twice from white heavy card stock and colored one of them with blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks Bundled Sage (one of my favorites!) and Rustic Wilderness. Then, I glued this piece on top of the white one for extra sturdiness.

I also inked up a white background panel with a striped stencil from my stash and the same oxides. For dimension I added a few green splatters with a small paint brush. The background and layered frame were adhered to a white card base.

The Juicy Watermelon Dies are very versatile and of course I also had to include a slice with the cute little hearts. I kept the color scheme going with the same green oxides and added Abandoned Coral as my red shade. For the black seeds, I used a Copic marker.

I selected two cuties from the Fabulous Flamingos set and colored them with my Copics in matching coral colors. White gel pen details make the images pop even more. My sentiment was taken from the Radiant Plumeria set and I just love that large ‘Summer’ die cut combined with the greetings message. Both were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

After placing the juicy watermelons inside the botanical frame, I added the adorable flamingo’s and the sentiment. As a final touch, I sprinkled a few Iridescent Jewels.

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!

Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this Savanna Safari birthday card inspired by the Bighearted Bears card I made a few weeks ago. Once in a while, I like to look back at my cards to see which design I could recreate. Well, this time, I didn't have to look too far in the past, and thought that the tall and long rectangle windows were just perfect for the giraffe and her friends!

I started off by creating the background using some dies and pattern papers. I cut the frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden pattern paper using the main die from Comic Strip Speech Bubble. I kept the frame only and attached it on a Sweater Weather turquoise pattern paper using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green pattern paper. This time I kept the inside pieces only, and used the Mini Grass Border die to cut four grass borders that I attached at the bottom of each section using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used:

• Savanna Safari: giraffe, lion, zebra, toucan

• Fabulous Flamingos: tropical leaves

• Love Birds: branch, small leaves

• Chickie Baby & Chubby Bunny: flowers

• Love Monkey: vine

When the coloring was done, I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed my "Have a wild day" greeting from Savanna Safari on a slim aqua banner I cut using a die from Notebook Photo Corners, and tucked it on the top right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again.

As always I finished my card with highlights and details using a white gel pen, and a little bit of morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts to make them shine. And that's it! 

I hope that my card will inspire you to search for inspiration among your own projects. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
