Paris Afternoon Travelers Notebook & Card with Ashley and Mayra

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a different kind of project for you this week! I am leaving for a family trip to France and Monaco soon, and I thought the Paris Afternoon and Charming City sets would be perfect to help me decorate a traveler's notebook for the trip! I've never done a traveler's notebook before, so it won't be perfect, but I'm learning as I go!

I started by making my "title" page. The traveler's notebook I purchased from Amazon came with three inserts, and I decided to use the dot grid one to start with. I am mostly going to be using this as a travel journal, so the grid will help me keep my writing straight! I blended Distress Oxide inks in PIcked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salty Ocean along the side for a rainbow gradient. 

I stamped the Eiffel Tower stamp from Paris Afternoon in VersaMark ink near the center of the page and embossed with gold glitter. I added a few clouds cut from white glitter cardstock with the Fluffy Clouds die, and some leftover pink hearts from last week's Bursting Hearts card. I finished the page by trying my hand at a bit of lettering. Unfortunately, my pen smeared a bit so I'll need to find something else for the trip, but I'm happy with the overall look!

For the next page, I made a spread to use for our first day in Monaco. On one side, I used the center piece of Frilly Frames - Chevron on a piece of white cardstock blended with the same Distress Oxides I used on the first page - Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salty Ocean. I glued the middle pieces to the page and saved the outside piece for another day. I decided this would be a good spot for a photo for my daughter as a world traveler, so I added a few extra gold hearts from Bursting Hearts to frame where it will go. 

On the opposite page, I stamped the 'bonjour" from Paris Afternoon in black ink. The page looked a bit plain, so I grabbed those same three Distress Oxide colors to add a rainbow to the top of the page. I used the Chloe Alphabet dies on gold glitter cardstock to spell out "Monaco" and added them under the "bonjour." I finished with some accents with my white gel pen to add more interest. When we are on our trip, I will have my hp Sprocket printer to print adhesive photos from my phone to add to the pages as we go. Hopefully, this will help us remember everything we did!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Next week, I will have another page using the Charming City set along with a little peek at what I am bringing along on the trip to document as we go. Have a wonderful day!

Hello and happy Monday. Mayra here to share this card with you today using the Paris Afternoon stamp set. 

I began by die-cutting the base layer using the Quilted Hearts Portrait die. Next, I used the circle from the Stitched Circles Small die set and the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die set to die-cut the scalloped and stitched circle for the center of the card. I then colored the image from the Paris Afternoon stamp set using Copic markers. I used BG0000, G00, G02, BG13, BG11, C9, C5, C3, E84, E35, and E31.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Critters On the Go and the Charming City stamp sets onto a banner die. I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Heart Bouquet Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project using a stamp set that we just revealed this week, the Heart Bouquet stamp and coordinating die set! I absolutely love how versatile this set is. 

I first started off by creating a background by ink blending Seedless Preserve, Dried Marigold, Rustic Hinge and Victorian Velvet distress oxide inks. For the cloud and land, I ink blended  die cut cloud and land from Slimline Nature Border dies using Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet distress oxide inks. I then stamped and colored bunch of images from Heart Bouquet, Balloon Ride and Plane Awesome stamp sets. 

For this card, I decided to stick to a warm color scheme of browns and pinks. For the pinks, I used P757, P755, P743, P703, P800 from the Tombow ABT PRO Pink Tones alcohol makers set. I decided to leave it without a sentiment so that I can use it for any occasion ;) 

That’s it folks! I hope you had a fun holiday week :) Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone, Isha with you sharing the last card for this year today. Now that Christmas is over, I decide to make a valentine theme card featuring the Heart Bouquet stamp and coordinating dies. I went with a slimline card, I love these Hamsters so much so decided to use them and made this for my younger daughter.

I started by sponging tattered rose, spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, tumbled glass distress oxide inks to create the background. Stamp the tiny hearts using the same colors. I then die-cut clouds using the Slimline Nature Borders die. adhere to the top and bottom part using 3D foam.

Stamp the balloon bouquet using the Heart Bouquet stamp onto this panel. Stamp the image again onto alcohol friendly paper, color and die-cut using coordinating dies. Adhere to the panel. Die-cut some more clouds using the Fluffy Clouds dies and adhere.

Stamp the Hamsters from the Happy Hamsters stamp set, color using copics and die-cut using coordinating dies. Adhere to the panel. Now put this panel onto a white cardbase. To finish, stamp the sentiment, apply a clear glitter pen to the balloons and add some chunky glitter to the clouds. 

Thank you for dropping by and Have a wonderful New Year!

Heart Bouquet Card with Mayra

Happy Monday everyone, Mayra here!! I am sharing this sweet card using the adorable Heart Bouquet stamp set. 

I began by coloring the heart balloons image and the little girl from the Fall Kiddos stamp set using Copic markers. I used R46, R27, R05, R22, and R00. For the pinks, I used R00, R11, R20, and E93. 

Next, I used the larger and smaller rectangles from the Stitched Rectangles die set to die cut the base layers for the card. I then used the clouds from the Fluffy Clouds die to die cut several clouds and to add the cloud texture on the smaller card base. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment using the phrase from the Balloon Rides stamp set and used the Chloe Alphabet to die-cut the word Soar to go with the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day and a super Happy New Year!!!

Bear Hugs Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun infinity card using the adorable Bear Hugs set.

I colored my images with Copic markers and die-cut the elements with the matching dies. The pieces for the sentiment were heat-embossed with white embossing powder. On my background papers, I inked the edges with white pigment ink and added white ink droplets for a wintery feeling.

Supplies used:
Bear Hugs stamps + dies
All Is Bright 6x6 Paper
Fluffy Clouds Dies
Slimline Nature Borders Dies

Want to see the card in action? Here you are:

I created a little tutorial, so you can make one yourself. Because I didn't have time to film and edit a video, I tried to explain it with this:

You will need 4 square paper pieces. Cut and fold piece A and B as shown. Fold at the dotted lines, then apply adhesive to the back of piece A, but only apply to the red areas. Adhere piece B to piece A and make sure to match the squares marked 1,2,3,4. Now fold open the AB piece. Cut and fold piece C as shown, apply adhesive to the red areas and adhere C to AB. Fold open the ABC piece. Cut and fold piece D, apply adhesive all over the ABC piece and adhere piece D to ABC. 

Happy weekend and thanks for visiting!

Hello Friends!  Audrey here today with some Bear Hugs for you! 

To create my card, I pulled out the Very Merry paper pad. I love the preprinted backgrounds that are part of this collection!  I chose the night sky background, and trimmed it down to 4" x 5.25". I stamped and colored the sleeping polar bear and the floating ice image from Bear Hugs and die cut them with the coordinating Bear Hugs dies. 

I wanted a large sentiment to break up the moon image, so I pulled out the Thank You Words dies and die cut "thanks" from set and cut it twice from white cardstock and once from navy cardstock. I stacked them together for dimension. I also stamped a smaller sentiment from the Bear Hugs stamp set onto a banner die cut and popped that up underneath. 

To add more interest to the sky, I die cut a trio of the Lacy Snowflakes and placed them around the sentiment. To finish off the card panel, I added white gel pen accents, Frosted Lace Stickles to the iceberg, and a scattering of clear confetti.

Tiki Time Cards with Candice and Kay

Hello! It's Candice back with you this Friday with a fun tropical scene using the great Tiki Time stamp set!

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my scene:

• Tiki Time stamps & coordinating dies
• Tropical Scenes stamps & coordinating dies
• Beach Buddies stamps (sentiment)
• Chloe Alphabet dies
• Stitched Semi-Circle dies
• Stitched Circle Large dies
• Fluffy Clouds dies
• Slimline Pennant dies (waves)
• Crystal Clear jewels

For the background, I first trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card front and die cut the stitched semi-circle closer to the top to have room for my letters. I then inked my card front lightly with tumbled glass & squeezed lemonade. I die cut the waves inking them with mermaid lagoon & tumbled glass and the sun inking with fossilized amber & squeezed lemonade.

Next, I stamped the images using the sets listed above, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I layered the images with the sun, waves and clouds to create the scene using foam tape or glue to give lots of dimension. I finished with the layered PARADISE with the top layer inked with barn door, the sentiment on a banner, and a sprinkled of crystal clear jewels!

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!

Hi there! Kay here, and I have a card to share with you using the new Tiki Time Stamp set and Tiki Time Coordinating dies! This is my favorite stamp set from the new release! I just love tropical things! This set is so much fun!

So for my card, I created the background by watercoloring Peerless watercolors onto Bristol Board cardstock. When this was dry, I speckled with white ink. For the beach sand, I used Antique Linen distress ink and blended this onto white Bristol board cardstock, and then speckled with Vintage Photo mixed with water.

All of the cute images from the Tiki Time stamp set, were colored with Copic markers, then cut them out with the Tiki Time coordinating dies. I then adhered them all to the background beach scene with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment which is included in the Tiki Time stamp set along the bottom.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
