Little Buckaroo Card with Catherine

Howdy Crafty Friends! It’s Catherine! Today, I am sharing a friendship card created with Little Buckaroo Stamps inspired by one of my favourite movies … Can you guess which movie?

To start, I created a cloudy background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide on A2 white cardstock using a stencil I made with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I splattered some blue watercolor onto the clouds. I added a few clouds with Fluffy Clouds Dies.

Next, I made a grassy border using the grass die from Picket Fence Die. I ink blended the grass border with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. I sprayed some water and flicked some green watercolor for added interest. I added some grass using the grass stamp and dies from Chickie Baby Stamps. I adhered the clouds and grass border onto the background panel and added a stitch border along the edges.

I made blocks by die cutting 1” squares with a square die in my stash. I inked the center of each block with Antique Linen Distress Oxide and ink blended the borders with Festive Berries, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass, and Dusty Concord Distress Oxides.

I die cut “FRIEND” out of white cardstock using Chloe Alphabet Dies and ink blended the letters with the same Distress Oxides.

I stamped the cowgirl and cowboy from Little Buckaroos Stamps, horse and pig from Barnyard Buddies Stamps, dog from Puppy Parents Stamps, and bear from Beach Buddies Stamps. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and I colored the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below. I adhered all the images onto the background.

I finished off the card by adding “Howdy” by die cutting white cardstock with Loopy Letters Dies and ink blending the letters with Festive Berries Distress Oxide.

Barnyard Buddies Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here! Today, I am sharing a peek-a-boo birthday card created with the adorable Barnyard Buddies Stamps!

To start, I masked off 3” from the bottom of A2 white cardstock. I ink blended the unmasked part with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide using a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. Next, I removed the mask and I lightly ink blended the bottom of the background panel up to 1 ½” with Mowed Grass Distress Oxide. I splattered the grass with some green watercolour for interest.

To make the barn, I used the gingerbread house shadow die in Gingerbread House Dies. I die cut two shadows out of white cardstock and I trimmed one shadow for the roof (B).  To make the barn doors, I used a craft knife and cut the openings as shown in the solid lines (A). I scored the door hinges (dotted lines).

For the barn door braces (C), I trimmed white cardstock to the following sizes:
Vertical Strips: ¼” W x 2” H (total 4 pieces- 2 per door)
Horizontal Strips: ¼”W x 1 ¾”H (total 4 pieces- 2 per door)
Crosses: ¼” W x 1 ¾”H ( total 4 pieces- 2 per door)

I added a barn window with a small 7/8”W x 1” H die that I had in my stash.

Using a scoreboard, I made horizontal lines across the barn (A) for a wood effect. I then, ink blended the barn with Barn Door Distress Oxide. I adhered all the pieces of the barn together.

Next, I stamped and die cut the images from Barnyard Buddies Stamps. I added a wagon from Harvest Mice Stamps, hay from Farm Fresh Stamps, presents from Holiday Express Stamps and Cozy Christmas Stamps, and a party hat from Purrfect Birthday Stamps. I colored the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

I adhered the animals onto the background panel and then I adhered the barn onto the panel with foam tape. I adhered the wagon, presents, party hat, chick, and hay onto the barn. I finished off the card with some bunting from Balloon Rides Stamps and White Heat Embossed sentiments from Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps and Barnyard Buddies Stamps.

Birthday Mouse Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Catherine here! Today, I am sharing a fun Circus themed birthday card created with the adorable Birthday Mouse Stamps.

With Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, I ink blended A2 white cardstock using a cloud stencil created with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I splattered some blue watercolor and some gold shimmer spray for added details. I set the panel aside to dry.

Next, I die cut two cloudy borders, one with white cardstock and the other with vellum using Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I ink blended the white cloudy border with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and splattered the border with blue watercolor. I stamped “Birthday” from Panda Party Stamps onto the blue cloudy border.

I stamped the mouse from Birthday Mouse Stamps, party hat from Purrfect Birthday Stamps, and circus tents from Country Carnival Stamps. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below. I made the tight rope by tracing the edge of an oval plate with a black multi-liner and then fussy cutting the rope.

For the front panel, I die cut acetate to A2 size and a frame out of white cardstock. I adhered the images and the cloudy borders onto the acetate and glued the frame over top. I added Party Confetti, Crystal Clear Jewels, and some gold crystals onto the back panel and adhered the front panel on top.

I finished off the card with a White Heat Embossed sentiment from Panda Party and the word “fun” die cut with red cardstock using Loopy Letters Dies.

Build-A-Birdhouse Cards with Marie and Catherine

Hey there crafty friends, Marie here! Today I am sharing a very spring inspired birthday card featuring Sunny Studio Stamps' Build-A-Birdhouse Dies. These dies create the cutest little birdhouses that pair so perfectly with their Out On a Limb Dies. 

To begin, I used an A7 size die to cut out my card base from 110 lb heavyweight cardstock paper. I used bristol smooth cardstock for my background panel which I ink blended using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. Then I adhered my inked panel to my cardbase using double sided tape adhesive. 

Next, I die cut all the pieces from the Build-A-Birdhouse Dies, the Out On a Limb Dies, as well as the adorable tiny flowers from the Wonderful Windows Dies. I cut out my birdhouses from watercolor paper, and used watercolor pencils from Faber-Castell to color each one in a shabby chic style. To give the houses dimension I die-cut the roof about 5 times and stacked them up. For my flowers I cut them from pink shades of cardstock paper. All the tree limbs and leaves were cut from bristol smooth cardstock and inked using Vintage Photo and Mowed Lawn Distress inks. After inking, I went over some of the die cuts with color pencil for some extra shading.

I positioned all my tree limbs to create a frame. From there, I built up my scene by adding all the leaves and flowers using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. The last thing I added were the birdhouses. I used some foam tape on the back of each house to create a floating dimensional look and I added some gold twine to the back of the houses and glued it to the top of the tree branch. I then created some super tiny bows and attached them to the top for the cutest hanging birdhouses! 

Moving on to the inside of my card, I stamped out a big Happy Birthday Sentiment using the Big Bold Greetings Stamp and cut it out using the Big Bold Greetings Dies. I used some extra leaves and flowers to create some cute floral accents and called this card done! 

Thanks so much for joining me on this week's card inspiration! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I am so excited to share another card created with Build-A-Birdhouse Dies. I thought it would be fun this time to use a circle slider die so that the birds can fly around their homes. 

There are many fabulous circle slider dies out in the market. The one that I used is a generic one listed in my blog link below. There are essentially three pieces that is required for the circle: circle slider track (A), circle used as a slide backer (B), slider disc (C). 

To start, I ink blended two (one will be the front panel and the other will be the back) A2 white card stock with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide using a cloud stencil that I created with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I splattered both with blue watercolor paint. Once dried, I die cut the front panel with the circle slider track (A). I die cut the slide backer out of white cardstock (B). I attached the slider disc (C) onto the slide backer (B) using a glue gun.  I put the slider disc inside front panel with the circle track. (A).  I attached the front panel onto the back panel with foam tape.

Next, I die cut the birdhouses from Build-A-Birdhouse Dies and branches from Out On A Limb Dies. I ink blended the birdhouses with Scattered Straw, Wilted Violet, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides. I ink blended the branches with Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress Oxides and the coordinating leaves with Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage Distress Oxides. I thought it would be pretty to add some flowers so I used the flower die from Window Quad Square Dies and ink blended the flowers with the same inks.

I stamped and die cut the cute birds from Little Birdie Stamps and colored the birds with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below. I die cut an extra die cut for each of the two birds that I wanted to attach onto the slider discs for extra support. I glued the birds onto the slider discs with a hot glue gun. I attached the birdhouses onto the branches with some yellow bakers twine. I finished off the card with a reverse scalloped frame and a sentiment from A Bird's Life Stamps.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Please feel free to visit me at Crafti-Cat. Have a wonderful day!
