Meow & Furever Cat Love-Themed Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our adorable Meow & Furever Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Meow & Furever Stamps, I made the adorable cat peeking through the heart-shaped cutout in his newspaper the focal point. I used a sketch for this card, keeping my card design relatively clean and simple. I relied on the fun, bright striped paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper pack and layered die-cuts to add interest. I landed on this particular color palette and patterned paper because I had colored this tabby cat image years ago, and I was looking for a way to incorporate orange into a Valentine's Day card, which felt like a bit of a challenge.

For my background, I started by die-cutting the diagonal grid print from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack using the Fishtail Banner 2 Dies. I then stacked the Stitched Heart 2 Die, cut from Bazzill's swiss dot cardstock, with a white Scalloped Heart Die inked with a bit of Salty Ocean Distress ink in the center. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny "Meow You Doin'?" phrase from the Meow & Furever set onto a blue Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Meow & Furever Stamps, I created another cat love-themed card perfect for Valentine's Day! I had colored all of my cat images and red hearts many years ago, and I was determined to use every last piece for today's cards, so it was fun challenging myself to find the perfect way to use what I had. For this card, I started with a dark kraft cardstock base and layered a blue heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack over the top, which had been die-cut using the largest banner from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added four of the smallest dies from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies into a 2x2 grid and centered my kitties over the top of each of the squares. I completed my card by heat-embossing the greeting from the set onto a red Brilliant Banner 2 Die and sprinkling the five small red hearts like flat mail-friendly embellishments.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Strawberry Patch Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I'm excited to be back on the blog with a fresh and fun card featuring the new Strawberry Patch Dies.

I started this A2 card by cutting a black cardstock panel 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I then cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 1/4", die-cut it using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die and adhered it to the top of the black cardstock panel.

Next, I die-cut a 4 1/4" long piece of black cardstock using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders Dies and adhered it across the bottom of the white cardstock. The red paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper reminds me of a picnic tablecloth so I cut a piece 2" x 4 1/4" and then die-cut the bottom of it using a Fishtail Banner II die. I heat embossed sentiments from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with black embossing powder and adhered the paper to the card front just below the stitched line of the black ribbon piece.

To finish, I die-cut the strawberries, flowers and leaves from white cardstock using the Strawberry Patch Dies and a basket using the Wicker Basket Dies. I colored the strawberries, flowers and basket with Copics and inked the leaves with Rustic Wilderness Distress ink applying light pressure to the ends of the leaves and heavier pressure towards the stems.

Fall Scenes Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here sharing a card today featuring the spooktacular haunted mansion from the Fall Scenes stamp set paired with a little cutie from the Too Cute to Spook stamps.

I started with a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock cut to 3 3x4” x 5 1/2". I die-cut the bottom edge using a Fishtail Banners II die. I also cut a mat for this panel slightly larger from a piece of black cardstock and die-cut the bottom edge. I stamped the haunted mansion scene towards the top of the cardstock piece and masked the image using eclipse tape. I then inked the ground with Pumice Stone and Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

To create a spooky night sky, I die-cut a circle from eclipse tape using a Stitched Circles Small die and used the negative cut out from the tape to ink a moon with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then masked the moon and inked the sky with Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Black Soot Distress inks. I stamped a bat from the Fall Scenes stamps across the moon.

To finish, I colored the stamped images with Copics and die-cut the Too Cute to Spook images using the coordinating dies. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Too Cute to Spook stamps and adhered a portion of the Autumn Tree die-cut from black cardstock to the left and right sides of the cardstock panel. I cut a piece of paper from the Critter Country paper pack 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and adhered it to an A2 card base. I then matted the cardstock panel on the black cardstock and adhered it to the card front.

Hello Sunny friends. It’s Bobbi here with a fall scene card featuring some of the new fall sets just released by Sunny Studio Stamps. 

Today, I’m using the following products:

Fall Scenes stamps and coordinating dies

Squirrel Friends stamps and coordinating dies

Too Cute to Spook stamps and coordinating dies

Words of Gratitude Stamps

Critter Country Pattern Paper

To make this 5″ X 7″ size card, I started by stamping the fence and tree setting from the Fall Scenes stamps. Note: Because my card is 7″ wide, I did add in more fencing on both sides to extend the fence line on the card front panel. Next, I created a background landscape using Copic markers in various greens and blues. I used a lot of different greens. Simply explore what you like. I tend to gravitate to yellow-greens for meadows, but since this is a fall scene, I brought in some grayish greens, too. Using the bare silhouette tree from the Too Cute to Spook stamps, I added trees in the background by the sky. This creates some depth in the scene.

I stamped the foreground items including: 5 leaf piles, various small pumpkins, and a rake. I also added some larger pumpkins from the Too Cute to Spook stamp set and the flying squirrel is from the Squirrel Friends stamps. Adding the larger pumpkins in the very front provides more scene dimension. All of the images were adhered in place. I popped up the flying squirrel using foam tabs to make him look like he is in the air.

Lastly, I added some designer paper to the bottom of this scene and added faux stitching by hand and a stamped phrase from the Words of Gratitude Stamp set.

Inside, I finished the sentiment thought with another one. This card is ready to send!

Feeling Froggy Cards with Tammy and Candice

Hello friends! Tammy here sharing a fun birthday card, featuring the adorable set, Feeling Froggy. 

To begin, I cut a white A2 rectangle and another using the green dot paper from Polka Dot Parade 6X6 Paper. I then cut the polka dot paper using the Fishtail Banner II Dies and attached to the white card base. 

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:
Feeling Froggy/ Coordinating Dies
Froggy Friends/ Coordinating Dies

Copic Colors Used: Greens: YG67, YG17, YG13, YG03, YG01, YG00; Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41; Hat: R22, R20, R000, Y18, Y13, Y11

Next, I cut a white scalloped circle using the Scalloped Circle Mat 2 Dies and layered a Stitched Circle, ink blended with Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. I cut another circle then used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to cut a curved edge for the water, and ink blended it with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean. Next, I arranged the images onto my card, using foam tape on some for dimension. 

Lastly, I cut a black cardstock banner using the Slimline Pennant Dies, and white heat embossed the sentiment from Froggy Friends to complete my card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hello my crafty friends! Candice with you today sharing a fun mini slimline design highlighting the adorable Feeling Froggy stamp set!

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my mini slimline card:

• Feeling Froggy stamps & coordinating dies
• Country Scenes Stamps & coordinating dies
• Farm Fresh stamps & coordinating dies
• Slimline Pennant dies
• Slimline Nature Borders dies
• Gingham Pastels paper pad
• Iridescent Pearls

I began my mini slimline with a 6 1/2 x 4. For the background I die cut the stitched pennant from Bristol Smooth cardstock and inked the thirds with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass and splattered with the Salty Ocean and white paint using damp paintbrush. While that dried, I die cut the clouds and the grass and then cut a second time from the pennant to give the stitched line all around. On the grass, I inked it with Mowed Lawn and Shabby Shutters and splattered it with the Mowed Lawn and white paint too.

Next, I stamped the barn scene, pond, frog and flies, colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped the sentiment along the top cloud and put the pennant together. I finished by gluing the pennant scene onto a piece of green gingham pattern paper and a few of the green domes!

Thank you so much for visiting with me today!
