Designer's Choice: Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a fun birthday card with the cuties from the Foxy Friends stamp and die set.

My background was made from a green paper (Gingham Pastels), cut with both dies from Frilly Frames Stripes. This panel was then adhered to a white card base with liquid glue.

For the centerpiece I used two squares created from white card stock and layered on top of each other. To achieve this look, I selected two dies matching in size, one from Scalloped Square 1 Large dies, the other from the Stitched Square dies.

Before adding this combination to the background, I stamped the birthday sentiment (Happy Thoughts) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I love that the large ‘Happy’ really stands out on the white square!

On to the difficult part, which was selecting two foxes from a whole bunch of cuties! (Foxy Friends stamp). I had already decided to use the big present from Holiday Hugs.
Yes, this is a holiday set, but many images including the adorable bear can be used for lots of occasions! It is really fun using your stash all year round!

For the coloring, I selected Copic markers in green and coral tones. They match the pattern paper background well. I added highlights with a gel pen and two little white pompoms to the party hats for extra fun!

Lastly, I mounted the images to the square panel with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels. And that finishes this sweet birthday card!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and in today’s fun Easter card I am using two sizes of the versatile Rounded Rectangle Window dies. As the name suggests these dies help you to create lots of different designs! I opted for two scenic windows using the sweet images from Clucky Chickens.

To start, I die cut a panel from blue striped paper (Striped Silly) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Then I played around with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Window dies. I knew I wanted to use the big hen house and the scripty Happy Easter (Chickie Baby), so that was decisive in my choice of dies. After creating the two windows, I glued the striped panel to a white card base. With the dies still on my desk, I ran them again through the machine, this time using white card stock. These pieces are the backing for my scenes.

I took my Copic swatch chart to find a blue marker that was approximately the same tone as the lighter stripe of the paper. Now, I was able to draw a little hill on both panels to ground the images. For extra texture I dotted the sky parts of these pieces with the same marker.

After selecting my images from Clucky Chickens and Chickie Baby, I did all the coloring with  Copic markers. White gel pen details made the images pop even more.

Since I kept the inlay panels flat, it was easy to stamp the large sentiment from Chickie Baby in a brown ink from my stash. I glued both background panels in place and mounted the images with foam tape to the card. Adding a few Champagne Clear Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Background Basics 2 Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a sweet Easter card featuring the Background Basics 2 stamps, more specifically the large diagonal grid.

I selected a white card base and cut a rectangle background panel from white paper with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I love the scalloped edge, but to enhance this piece even more I added an ‘embossed look’ with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. Next, I simply glued this panel to the card base as my first layer.

The adorable Big Bunny is going to be my main focal point of this card and I discovered that she fits perfectly inside the largest of the Stitched Ovals. This pieces was then decorated with the big grid from Background Basics 2 stamps and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. I deliberately kept some areas of the stamping lighter or even white.

For extra detail I glued this panel to a white Scalloped Oval Mat 1 piece and added the whole to the card with liquid glue. For the star of the show (the cutie from Big Bunny), the bouquet and the bow, I selected Copic markers in fun Spring colors matching the blue of my grid background. The combined sentiment is from the same set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To put the scene together, I cut a white strip with one of the Slimline Basic Borders and the largest of the Stitched Ovals to give this piece it’s rounded edges. I glued this piece in place and added the bunny with the bow and tulips. Lastly, I placed the sentiment on the bottom of the oval shape. As a final embellishment, I added a few Gold Jewels. 

I hope you will enjoy these fun background stamps as much as I did! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Doggone Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today’s card features the very sweat Doggone Birthday stamp and die set. It’s a smaller set yet has all the elements you need to create festive projects!

I really wanted to show off this cute little party dog by creating several layers, so after I prepared my white card base, I browsed through my paper stash to find a fun combo. To start, I die cut a panel from a bright green striped paper (Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron.

For extra layering I used two sizes of the Limitless Labels 1 dies, cutting the largest from a grey sheet (Subtle Grey Tones) and the smaller from white card stock. To give this latter piece added interest I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Moroccan Circles embossing folder. Both the grey paper as the embossing brings so much extra detail to this simple card design!

After gluing all these panels to the white card base, I stamped and die cut my images. As I mentioned before, this set can be matched with lots of other sets but also works great on its own as I show in this project. I love the little party hat and the bones with bows! So cute!
All the coloring was done with my Copic markers.

My sentiment consists of two parts. First portion is a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ (Punny Fruit Greetings). I couldn’t stamp onto the embossed panel, so I cut another smaller piece with the Limitless Labels 1 dies from white card stock and stamped onto this paper in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I glued this to the bottom part of the embossed panel.

I spelled the word ‘YAY’ in two colors with letters of the Balloon Alphabet stamp and die set. After securing some green thread to the back of the letters, I mounted them to the white panel with foam tape. I made sure to hold the ends of the thread in place with a piece of tape, adhering them to the card base where I could hide them by putting the adorable doggie in place. Lastly, I added the two bones as presents and a few Iridescent Jewels.

Majestic Meadow Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this adorable Snow White inspired card showcasing the Majestic Meadow in the background, and a mix & match of images to create a lovely fairytale themed scene.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Majestic Meadow - background, birds, clouds • Enchanted - princess, castle • Little Birdie - birdhouse, birds • Garden Critter - grass • Balloon Rides - small trees • Tulip Path Background - butterflies.

Next I cut several panels to build the card base. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and attached that panel to a card base using liquid glue. I cut a scalloped panel out of white cardstock using the main Frilly Frames Hexagon die, and stuck it to the gingham panel using 1mm foam tape. I cut a 4,75 x 3,5 inches panel out of a Summer Splash cloudy paper, mixed some copic opaque white with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, did the same with salty ocean oxide ink, and once my cloudy panel was dry, I attached it to the scalloped panel using liquid glue.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, and then attached them all to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Hoping your day is magical" from Garden Fairy on dark brown cardstock and cut it into a fishtail banner that I stuck below the scene using foam squares again. And to totally finish my card, I added white blizzard nuvo to the butterflies wings to bring even more cuteness and magic to the scene.

And that's it! I hope that you like this super sweet card, I like to mix new images with older ones, it's always a fun exercise! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
