Scalloped Fence Focused Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back with another fun project to share with you all! I love it when dies/stamps are realistic and the new Scalloped Fence die has so many details that make it just perfect to create fun scenes with. I love playing with critters but I never really created a shadow box before until now. The new fence die was the just the perfect size to create a fun farm scene! When putting this together, I felt like I was transported back to middle school where I had to create mini dioramas almost every summer! 

I know that there are dies available to create shadow boxes but they are super easy to create with supplies that you already have. I used my paper trimmer to cut cardstock into the following dimensions:

- Background: 4.25” x 3.5”
- Base - 2 strips: 8.5” x 1” strip scored at 0.5”, 2.5”, 6” and 8; 3.5” x 1” strip 

Fold the base strips at the score lines and attach the smaller strip using the 0.5” tabs to create a 3.5” x 2” base. I then attached the background cardstock to the back of the base to finish off my base! 

For the grass, I started off by cutting 3 1.25” x 4.5” strips of different green colored cardstock scored at 0.5” and 4”. I used the grass die from Picket Fence to die cut the top of each panel and snipped the edges of the tabs as shown below:

I ink blended the edges of the panel with matching dye ink before adding them to my shadow box. My box is now complete for decoration! I started off by ink blending a white panel slightly smaller than 3.5” x 4.25” using shades of mint to create a ducky sky. I then stamped and colored images from the Farm Fresh stamp set. As only the bottom part of these images were going to be stuck to the grass base, I stacked 2 die cuts for each image to make it sturdier. I then adhered all these images to the shadow box. 

The Scalloped Fence die is just the perfect size to create an outer border for your shadow box card and make the farm scene more realistic! I stacked two die cuts just like my images to make it sturdier… This would add extra weight when mailing your cards though! 

I then finished off by adding a sentiment by using the Chloe Alphabet die set and the word ’there’ from Farm Fresh stamps set.

That’s it! I hope this fun card inspires you to create a fun shadowbox card if you haven’t already. Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone! Isha, here featuring the Scalloped Fence dies. These are such pretty dies with some lovely details. I get the feel of the big cottages and enchanted lands when I see it, so my card had to have a fairy...lol.

I started by sponging tumbled glass distress ink to create the sky. Flick some ink splatters and water to it. Die-cut the grass from the Slimline Nature Borders dies two times. Sponge distress inks in shabby shutters and mowed lawn. Flick water and ink. Adhere to the mat layer. Adhere this to a white card base.

Now I die-cut the Scalloped Fence three times, applied glue and over lapped them to create one single fence. I then adhered the other elements of the dies to create some dimension.

Tree and flower - Seasonal Trees stamp and Dies
Sun - Balloon Rides Stamp and Dies
Balloon, sentiment - Floating By stamp and Dies
Fairy, flower, snail - Garden Fairy stamp and Dies
Bird - Outback Critters stamp and Dies

Stamp the images, color using Copic markers and die-cut. Adhere to the card to create a scene. To finish, I applied Nuvo glitter drops to the fairy wings and a bit to the sky.  Finally spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to the balloon, fairy and flowers.

Thanks for dropping by! Have a nice day.

Outback Critters Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here with you today. Instead of creating an Australia themed card with the Outback Critters Stamps, I thought it would be fun to use the sweet kangaroo image for a birthday. I combined it with the balloon bouquet from the Floating By set.

I started off with a lemon yellow A2 card base and cut the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies from white heavyweight cardstock. I left all the petal pieces inside of the die-cut and adhered the whole panel to a piece of fun foam. The white-on-white pattern in the background creates a bit of interest without appearing too busy.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the mama kangaroo with her cute baby. For the balloons and strings, I did partial die cutting as well as a little fussy cutting with scissors. I adhered the balloons behind the kangaroo image which I popped up with foam tape.

I cut the word 'happy' included in the Blooming Frame Die set three times from light aqua cardstock. Then I stacked the die-cuts on top of each other to make them more dimensional and sturdy. The word 'birthday' from the Prancing Pegasus stamp set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a small purple cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the sentiment and added two enamel hearts as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a happy day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun birthday card using the Outback Critters set. I decided to concentrate on the cute koalas:

I first inked the front of a white card base with Cracked Pistachio and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks and added ink droplets. Now I inked another panel with the same colors and die-cut the letters from it. After I had spelled the Happy Birthday on the card, I stamped the images onto white cardstock.

Here comes a list of the products used today:
Outback Critters stamps + dies (koalas, leaves, branch)
Purrfect Birthday stamps + dies (party hats)
Chloe Alphabet Dies

Then I colored the elements with Copic markers, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card, raising some parts with foam tape.

Have a fun day everybody and thanks for stopping by!

Chloe Alphabet Focused Cards and Video Tutorial with Julia and Franci

Hey crafty friends! It’s Julia here with a fun birthday card!

First, I stamped my images from Alpaca Holiday & Floating By onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in!

I cut the second larges Fancy Frames Circle die 4 times out of white cardstock and layered the die cuts for more dimension. Then, I die cut the third largest of the Stitched Circle Large dies twice, once for my background and a second time for the grassy hill. I ink blended the circle die cuts using Distress Oxide inks. To create my hill, I die cut one of the stitched circles using the Slimline Nature Borders dies. I also die cut the letter HAPPY using the Chloe Alphabet dies and I ink blended those as well.

For the background of my card, I used the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder and adhered it to an A2 sized card base. Then, I added my ink blended circle, grassy hill and the scalloped frame on top. Finally, it was time to add my cute images to the scene! Below the little scene I adhered the letters for the first part of my sentiment. For the second part, I used a sentiment from the Candy Shoppe stamp set and I heat embossed it in white.

As a finishing touch, I added white gel pen details to the balloons! If you would like to see how this card came together, you can watch the video below - or on my YouTube channel, Craft Room Adventures!

Inks used: Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough
Zig Markers used: 999; 21; 32; 50; 33; 73, 64.

Thank you so much for spending time with me today! Have an awesome week!

Hi there and happy Wednesday! It's Franci here with you today, with a fun card showcasing the Chloe Alphabet Dies set. Alphabet dies are so cool, I loved using them to add a little something to my sentiment here!

First of all I die cut my white panel using the Stitched Rectangles dies and the partial die cutting technique and inked the center with Distress Ink. Then I created a coordinated card base out of light grey cardstock.

Then I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut all the images from these different sets: Harvest Mice set + coordinated dies and Seasonal Trees set + coordinated dies. I glued everything down into this cute scene and added some details with a white gel pen.

I die cut all the "apple" letters out of red cardstock, using the Chloe Alphabet set and added them as well, after stamping the other part of my sentiment from the Fruit Cocktail set. 

Finally I mounted my decorated panel onto my card base with more foam adhesive and added a coat of glossy accents onto my die cut word - the effect in real life is soo cool!

Hope you like this card as much as I do and thanks a lot for stopping by today!
