Summer Cards with Angelica and Mendi

Hi friends, Angelica here sharing a birthday shaker card using the Best Fishes stamp set. Here’s how I put it together.

The first step is making the card front. On a sheet of Yupo paper, I moved Tim Holtz Turquoise and Sailboat Blue alcohol inks around to resemble water. I worked from one corner to the other, the path I knew my windows were going to be. 

While the panel was drying, I made the inside panel that would be seen through the window. I smooshed watercolor paper into Distress Oxide inks that I had swiped onto my craft mat and sprayed with water. I did this three times, using my heat tool to dry the paper after each layer. Once my Yupo paper was dry, I die-cut the windows using the Staggered Circles Die.

I stamped several images from the Best Fishes stamp set, and pulled out a rainbow of Copic colors to color them with. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them out, then planned out my card front. After moving the images around, I finally found the arrangement I wanted to use. I always do this, then take a picture of it so I know how to assemble the images when it’s time to complete the card.

To assemble the shaker element, I turned the Yupo paper over and used 1/8 Scor tape and a sheet of acetate to close the windows. Next I took thin strips of foam adhesive and wrapped them around each window, then on the rest of paper for support. I added clear and pink confetti into the windows, then carefully closed the back up with the watercolor background. I attached the card front to a card base, then added the images with thin foam squares. I stamped and white heat-embossed the sentiments using words from the stamp set. My last step was trimming the sentiments into thin strips, and attaching them to the card.

That's all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!  Mendi here today filling in for Juliana with a card featuring our newest Frilly Frames Dies.  I ran out of time during the sneak peek week to show how awesome the new Frilly Frames Chevron dies work together with both our Fishtail Banner die sets.  For my card here I paired them with the scallop from our Fishtail Banner 2 and the straight edge banner on our original Fishtail Banner dies to create "strips" which I cut from a rainbow of cardstock colors.

I just adore how all our Frilly Frames can mix and match with each other.  The chevron dies come with a ric rac edge, but I wanted to continue the scalloped theme so I paired the inside portion of the die with the outside portion of our Frilly Frames Stripes Die.  I then backed them with a piece of navy cardstock.

I wanted to keep the rest of my card fairly simple to keep the attention on my rainbow chevron stripes so I colored a small grouping from our Fabulous Flamingo Stamps and dies, using Copic Markers and heat embossed a sentiment on some more of that same navy cardstock to ground my images.

I hope we've inspired you in your cardmaking. Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging with us today.  :)

Everything's Rosy Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hi everyone, Anja here today with a floral birthday card showcasing the pretty Everything's Rosy Stamps. It's just magical how the images come to life by stamping each of the individual layers.

For the background, I tried something different and created a cardstock chevron pattern using the Fishtail Banners Dies and Fishtail Banners II Dies. I just love the pierced detail at the edges.

I stamped the roses and leaves with dye inks (find the ink colors below) and the help of a stamp positioning tool. I used the coordinating Everything's Rosy Dies to cut them out. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Puppy Dog Kisses set in VersaMark Ink onto a strip of black cardstock and white heat embossed it.

Altenew Dye Inks used: Roses: Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, Vineyard Berry, Grapevine; Leaves: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive

To finish off my card, I adhered some sequins and tiny dots of Platinum Stickles.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again next time!

Hello everyone! Vanessa here with a card using the wonderful Everything's Rosy set. For today's card I was inspired by blue porcelain designs featuring blue flowers.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base, stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the card. Now I die-cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies from white cardstock and adhered the frames.

Then I stamped the roses and the leaves onto white cardstock, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered the images with foam tape. Here are the inks I used for my roses: MFT Blue Breeze, Memento Summer Sky, Hero Arts Soft Sky, Hero Arts Pool, Memento Nautical Blue. To finish the card off, I added gold and clear sequins.

Not the usual colors for flowers, but I love the design on porcelain! I have to admit, I wanted to cover a panel with a lot of the roses first, but then I dropped an ink pad onto the panel and was just able to save these roses :) 

Thank you for stopping by!

Chubby Bunny Cards with Franci and Mona

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today, with a little Spring themed treat box :)

I looove these little cuties from the Chubby Bunny set, they are super adorable and perfect for Easter/Spring time, I can't help smiling every time I look at them! I decide to create a fun project today cause I needed a little treat box/ party favor idea and I'm so happy about how it turned out!

First of all I die cut the Sliding Window die twice out of lilac cardstock and I cut the "scored" sides with my trimmer. I also die cut the little window included in the set out of only one of the 2 pieces and from the side that does not have little tab attached.

I glued my little box together and added a little strip of green patterned paper from the Flirty Flowers paper to create the grass for my bunnies to stand on. I stamped, colored and die cut all the images, added some details with a white gel pen and glued them down to the grass. I think you could also add a little piece of acetate behind the window so your critters have more stability.

Finally I die cut a little banner using the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies out of white cardstock and I stamped a "Hello Spring" sentiment, I glued it down too and added a little clear bag with lots of candies :) It's cute, isn't it?! 

Can't wait to create more and also try to modify this to make also a little shadow box! Hope you like it too and thanks for stopping by today, have a lovely day!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you a pretty, but easy tag tutorial, featuring the Chubby Bunny Stamp Set.

I started the cardmaking with Stamping and Coloring. I stamped the cute bunny images from the Chubby Bunny Stamp Set and I also stamped tulip images from the Spring Greetings Stamp Set. 

I colored the images with Copic markers.

(Used colors: 0, C0, C1, C3, C5, R20, R22 E0000; Y11, Y15, Y19; YR14, YR07; RV06, RV11, RV34, YG 01, YG03, YG17;)

When I was done I started the Die-cutting process. I used the Build a Tag #2 Dies, the Fishtail Banner II Dies and the cute banner from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and I made die-cuts. 

You will need the following pieces for one tag, so if you want to make more like me you can chose more colors.

There is one more step before you adhere everything together. I wanted to add more dimension to the tags so I run them through my Die-cut machine with the Fishtail Banner II Dies.

In the end I added my heat embossed sentiment to the banner and put my tag together. Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you like my creations let's be friends on Instagram. :)

Christmas Themed Gift Tags with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here with you today. Have you got all of your presents wrapped up? Don’t forget the gift tags too. This time of the year is the most wonderful and hectic at the same time. So today I will share some inspiration for last minute tags that can maybe save you a little time in these last few days before Christmas.

I used the Tag Toppers Traditional Dies together with the Fishtail Banner II Dies. Attached them to the paper with low tack tape and die cut them at the same time. Such a time saver. I blend Distress Inks for the background, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers. After I'm happy with the blending I stamped Frosty Flurries with matching dye inks.

I stamped all of the images with Versafine black ink and watercolored them with Distress markers. The Gleeful Reindeers are so adorable, and no one can get enough of the cute gingerbread boy from Jolly Gingerbread. After I finished putting them all together, now it's time to tie up some ribbons and twines to finish the tags.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today! I hope you enjoy today's post and have an amazing holiday.
