Squirrel Friends Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends! Marie here. Happy to be back on the blog for more card making inspiration! Today I am sharing a friendship card starring my favorite little happy squirrels from the Squirrel Friends stamp set. I also created some gorgeous leaves using the Autumn Greenery dies  - both products are from Sunny Studio Stamps recent Fall/Winter 2022 Release. 

I started off with adhering a pink A2 sized smooth cardstock paper onto an A2 sized sturdy 110lb Neenah Solar white cardstock. Using Sunny Studio's Woodgrain embossing folder, I created a beautiful wood grain background. I then cut a heart shape out of  Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I used Distress Ink Oxide in the color Saltwater Taffy for the inside of my heart. I then die cut leaves from the Autumn Greenery dies and the smaller leaves are from the Out on A Limb dies. I inked my leaves using Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio. 

I stamped my adorable Squirrel images using Distress Ink in the Color Antique Linen, and watercolored them using Derwent Inktense Pencils. I felt like my card needed a frame so I die cut a white Scallop frame using the Fancy Frame Rectangle dies. 

I love the stitched detailing on the scallop frame so much that I decided to take the smaller of the 2 frames included in the Fancy Frame Rectangles and used it on the inside of my card to frame my sentiment. For the word "Nutty" I used the Loopy Letters dies. 

After putting together my inside sentiment, I scored the top of the inside panel and attached it to my card front panel. I glued all my images and die cuts using a combination of Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue and double sided foam tape. 

That does it for this week's card inspiration, simple and sweet just the way I like it! And I hope you like it too! Thank you so much for joining me today! Until next time, Happy PaperCrafting!!!

Hi dear ones, Alma here. Autumn is slowly arriving and I love it when the leaves rustle and fall. Today I want to show you a card with the cute Squirrel Friends Stamps.

I coloured them and cut them out with the Squirrel Friends Dies. I love the tree stump. Isn't that a perfect storage for the acorns? Then I cut a rectangular card and coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron and sprinkled with water. Then I cut out a second beige cardstock and punched out a window with the Stitched Arch Dies.

After that I stamped the text. Then I glued everything together and added the grass from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Finally, I punched out the leaves from the Autumn Greenery Dies set and coloured them with Copics. Finished!!!!

Autumn Tree Die Focused Card with Marie

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I know Fall has just begun but it's never too early to start crafting for the Holidays so for my card inspiration this week, I've created a Christmas Card which features the Autumn Tree Dies and Penguin Party Stamp - both products are part of their recent Fall/Winter 2022 release. 

To create my card, I started by die cutting 2 Panels sized A2 from a Sturdy 110 lb Neenah Solar White Card Stock Paper. I also Die Cut a scalloped frame using Sunny's Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and I cut out some adorable fences using the Scalloped Fence Die. I cut my fences from a gold metallic paper. 

Using the Autumn Tree Die I die cut a winter tree. The beauty of the Autumn Tree Dies is that it doesn't have to just be a fall tree. It can be anything you want it to be. So I turned this fall tree into a winter tree just by adding snow. 

I then ink blended my background onto an A2 sized mint green cardstock paper from the Cools paper pack collection from scrapbook.com. I used the Distress Inks in the colors : EverGreen Bough, Uncharted Mariner, And Chipped Sapphire. I adhered my colored background to one of my sturdy A2 Panel. 

I used watered down acrylic paint to add white splatter all over my inked background to capture the essence of snowfall. I also did the same to my tree. I added the same white paint to my tree branches to mimic snow and I also painted some fallen snow onto my gold scalloped fence. 

I stamped out the super duper ADORABLE Penguins from the Penguin Party Stamp set using Distress ink in Antique Linen onto watercolor paper and did some no-line watercoloring using Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils. I cut them out using the Penguin Party Corresponding Dies.

I attached my other A2 Panel to my card base from the top so my card opens upward. I assembled and glued down my tree and images using Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue, and foam tape. I didn't have much room for a sentiment on the front of my card, so I decided to keep it very simple with a beautiful "Merry Christmas" greeting that I achieved using Sunny's Loopy Letters Dies.

That does it for my card inspiration this week! I hope I've inspired you to start your Holiday Crafting Early! Hopefully we can all get it done before the actual Holidays roll around and mail everything off on time! Until next week, Happy Card Making crafty friends!

Autumn Tree Die Focused Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun project using this quarter’s new release! I love creating critter scenes and I was so excited to see that we have a new large tree die! This is perfect for scene building. 

I created a fun little camping scene by staying and coloring images from Critter Campout and Spring Scene stamps. I then die cut the trees and leaves using Autumn Tree dies and cardstock. For my background, I used Faded Jeans, Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac and Victorian Velvet distress oxide inks. 

Added a strip of green cardstock for the land and splattered some water and paint for drama. Adhered all the images and I was done! I decided to not add a sentiment so that I could use this for any occasion :)

Wasn’t that quick and simple? Hope you liked this week’s card from me! Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone, Isha here with a cute autumn theme card featuring the Autumn Tree die. This is such a versatile die and is perfect for any season.

I started by sponging some salvaged patina and peacock feathers distress ink to a white card. I then die-cut the tree and the leaves using the Autumn Tree dies. I used the negative of the tree die-cut as stencil and sponged some inks to the left side of the card. I sponged the tree using vintage photo and aged mahogany distress ink.

For the leaves, I used fossilized amber, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, candid apple and twisted citron inks.

I stamped the reindeer from the Reindeer Games stamp set, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Harvest Mice stamp set.

Adhere all the images to the panel and then adhere the frame from the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. Adhere the panel to the white card base.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pumpkin Patch Die Focused Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hi Friends, Waleska here. My card for this week features one of my new favorite pumpkin dies, the Pumpkin Patch Dies, they are so fun and you can make them with or without dimension I just love them!

I started die cutting the pieces to create this beautiful pumpkins with white cardstock, I wanted to ink them with Oxide Inks.  For the leaves and stem I used green colored cardstock.  I used Ripe Persimmon and Carved Pumpkin Oxide inks to add color and dimension to the pumpkins. I used 3D Foam tape to elevate some parts too.

For the background I used Salvaged Patina Oxide Ink mixed with water with a smooshing technique on Watercolor paper.  I cut the biggest frame from the Fancy Frame Rectangles  with kraft cardstock and adhere it to the front panel.  I assemble the pumpkins in the center of my card and finally I added this panel to an orange card base.

I used the Words of Gratitude stamp set for the sentiment.  Thank you so much for stopping by remember to stay crafty because today is only lived once, do what you love and enjoy it!!!

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, thank you so much for stopping by! I'm back today with two cards, both showcasing the brand new Pumpkin Patch die set from the Fall & Winter 2022 collection. I couldn't decide if I wanted to create an autumn card or a Halloween card, so I decided to make both, using die cut pieces only.

I started by cutting all the pieces I needed to create both cards. And I knew that I wanted to use my alcohol markers to color all those bits and pieces, so I cut everything out of the same paper I always use to color my images. Besides the Pumpkin Patch die set, here are the sets I picked the different dies from:

Comic Strip Everyday: clouds, sun/moon, tree trunks, foliage
Picket Fence Border: grass border & fence
Tropical Trees Backdrop: crows/bats

For the autumn card I went with traditional pumpkins using two shades of orange, I also colored some sunflowers, leaves and swirling stems, a sun and a few clouds, some colorful trees and some birds to be crows.

And for the Halloween card I went with spooky pumpkins using two shades of purple. The sunflowers turned into bright pink flowers, I didn't add any foliage on the trees, the sun turned into the moon and the birds into bats.

Once everything was colored, I created a background for each card. I cut two 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panels, as well as two grass borders using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. For the autumn card I went with a turquoise sky using tumbled glass & peacock feathers oxide inks, and a khaki green grass border using shabby shutters & peeled paint oxide inks. And for the Halloween card, I went with dark blue shades for the sky using blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire & black soot oxide inks, and a dark green grass border using mowed lawn & rustic wilderness oxide inks.

Before assembling the cards, I white heat embossed a sentiment at the bottom of each grass border: "Hello autumn" from Fall Kiddos for the autumn card, and "Trick or treat" from Bewitching for the Halloween card. And next I attached the different elements on each panel, starting with the grass borders, and then all the bits and pieces using a combination of foam squares, glue dots & liquid glue.

And that's it! Love how they both turned out, super cute and bright. I hope you like them too! As always you will find more information and details in the process video, so feel welcome to check it out! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Squirrel Friends Cards with Marine and Waleska

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back this week with a new super cute and busy scene featuring the lovely Squirrel Friends from the Fall & Winter 2022 collection. I love those sweet and fun little guys so much, I can't wait to showcase them on other projects!

So, as often happens, I started off with the coloring. I stamped the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. Like I said, I created a busy scene with images from different sets, so here is the supplies list: 

Squirrel Friends - tree trunk, nuts and squirrels
Seasonal Trees - small bird
Balloon Rides - banner
Happy Harvest - sunflowers
Spring Showers - butterfly net
Harvest Mice - cart
Country Scenes - swirling thing

Once everything was colored, I created a house for the squirrels to live in using the Nutty for You die set for the base of the house, and the Gingerbread House die set for the door and two windows. I cut the different pieces and colored them using my alcohol markers again.

Next I did the background. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5" bristol panel and used scattered straw + spiced marmalade oxide inks to create a light autumn sky. And then I created a grass border to ground the scene. I cut another 8,5 x 3,5" bristol panel and cut a slim grass border out of it using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. And I colored this border using shabby shutters and peeled paint oxide inks.

Once the background panel and grass border were dry, I started to assemble everything, starting with the nut house pieces, and then all the elements on the slimline panel using foam squares mostly to bring dimension to the scene.

And last but not least I created my sentiment. I white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, along with the phrase "Nuts about you" from Squirrel Friends inside of it, and I attached it at the top of the nut house using a clear foam square.

And done! This card was so fun to make, and those squirrels are really adorable, love their unique design! Please feel welcome to check the process video for more information. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Friends, Waleska here!! It is starting to feel like fall and today I have the cutest card to celebrate love for the coming season!

For my card today it was super easy to figure out the colors of my card because I used the new Critter Country Paper and their beautiful colors inspire me to color this cute squirrels orange.

I stamped a bunch of the Squirrel Friends Stamps and started coloring them with the following copic markers: YR18/YR07/YR04 and E43/E42/E41. They are the cutest I love putting them around different scenes because they all have different positions.

This can also be a valentines card too! I then cut the front panel with the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies and started to have fun adding all the squirrels playing around. I cut a frame from kraft cardstock and added the entire front panel to a matching color paper from the same paper pad I used. To finish this card I added some little hearts to the cute couple that is sharing the acorn and I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine ink.

This colorful paper pad and squirrels are so beautiful I hope you liked this idea, thank you so much for stopping by today! Remember to stay crafty because today is only lived once, do what you love and enjoy it!!!
