Big Bunny Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to share this sweet Easter card with you. Isn’t this the cutest Big Bunny you have ever seen? The stamp set comes with several accessories and the matching dies also cut the little paws so bunny can easily hold the flowers, letter or Easter items. I really love this larger size of stamp, similar to the adorable bear from Holiday Hugs.

I don’t often make yellow cards but for this one I went all out using a bright background created with the outer die from Frilly Frames Polka Dots, the Dotted Diamond Landscape cover plate and a paper from my stash. After gluing this piece directly to a white card base, I started working on my envelop using the Gift Card Envelope die. Of course, I selected a fun flower pattern from Spring Fever.

Next, I stamped and die cut the adorable bunny and the flower bouquet from Big Bunny and used the pattern paper as my inspiration for the Copic coloring. Some soft pastel tones this time which is perfect for Spring and warmer days to come.

The ‘Easter’ sentiment was selected from the same set (Big Bunny) and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The Big Bunny Dies include the word ‘Greetings’ so after stamping I could use the matching die. The combined sentiment fitted nicely on the back flap of the envelope. Finally, I tucked the sweet bunny inside the envelope, put the bouquet in his little paws and added this piece to the yellow backdrop. I love that it completely fills an A2 card size! A few Gold Jewels were the only embellishment this project needed.

I had a lot of fun creating this cute card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a thank you card featuring the Beautiful Bluebells Stamps. The gorgeous details in these stamps can’t be overstated!

I kept the design of this A2 card fairly simple to showcase these beautiful flowers. I started by die-cutting a paper from the Spring Fever Paper using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhering it to a white card front. Next, I die-cut 2 pieces of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I die-cut one of them using the quatrefoil portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhered it to the solid stitched rectangle. I then adhered the combined piece to the card front.

To provide a base for the flowers, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Semi-Circle Dies and inked it lightly just short of the edges with Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac Distress inks. I adhered it 3/4" from the top of the card.

I stamped the bluebells in various shades of purple ink and a dusty blue ink (Simon Says Stamp Lilac, Amethyst and Orchid, Memento Elderberry and Hero Arts Dusty Blue. Stems in Simon Says Stamp Celery and Limelicious) and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the Stitched Semi-Circle die-cut beginning with the tallest flowers at the top and working down to the base of the semi-circle. (I reserved one bud to adhere overlapping the leaf)

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Spring Greenery Die and inked it with Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I adhered this below the bouquet and then overlapped/adhered one last flower bud.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps using Simon Says Stamp Orchid ink and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I adhered it with foam dimensional tape.

I just love how this turned out and I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the versatile Sprawling Surfaces stamp set which will be a staple in my stash for sure! I love that you get three different textures, so the possibilities are endless.

I had been wanting to use the adorable houses from the Charming City for a while and they are the perfect match for the brick pavement. Since I incorporated several fun colors for the houses, my card base and frame needed to be more muted. To start, I created a simple white base and cut a panel with the border die from Frilly Frames Chevron and a tiled paper (Subtle Grey Tones pad). The largest Stitched Arched Die creates the perfect opening for any scene and you’ll end up with a an arched frame and an inner piece that I put aside for another project.

Next, I stamped the row of houses from Charming City and the cycling cuties from Bighearted Bears. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen. This time I opted for a more Mediterranean vibe and houses in bright colors.

For my background, I stamped the brick pavement onto a piece of white Neenah paper and used some more Copics in matching pink shades. The sky portion was ink blended with Distress Oxide Victorian Velvet.

I glued the background to my card base and added the row of houses directly above the brick pavement. Then I could mount the grey frame with foam tape. That instantly creates lots of dimension. Lastly, I placed the cute bears in front of the houses.

My sentiment (Heartfelt Wishes) was stamped in a purple die ink onto a white Brilliant Banner 2. It fitted perfectly above the row of houses. As extra embellishments I added a few white hearts (Bursting Hearts die), some leaves (Winter Greenery dies) and small flowers (Spring Garden dies).

I am sure you will create amazing projects with these great surface stamps! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Wicker Basket Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello friends! Leanne here! I have a spring note card to share featuring a lovely wicker basket full of flowers. Every element on this card was created with dies. I just love all the texture and dimension you can achieve with layering up die cut elements.  

To an A2 size green card base, I add the Eyelet Lace Frilly Frames panel. I lightly inked bended some blue and green to the center of the panel first. I also added some paint spatters and dots with a white gel pen. Next I cut out the basket and lots of flowers dies from the Wicker Basket set. The basket is die cut from kraft card stock. I used Copic markers to add shading and darken the detailed impression lines the die makes. 

Copic colors: R14, R24, R27, R30, R32, YG11, YG17, Y11, Y15, Y17, E42, E43

The flowers, leaves, bow, and ladybugs (using the Mini Basic Shapes 4 dies) have all been die cut from white card stock. I again used Copic markers to color them. Since these are very small die cuts, I find that coloring with Copics is the easiest way to add shading and depth. I used a white gel pen to add highlight detail on each piece. I adhered all the elements in place the thin foam tape.  I like to use foam tape since I can trim the tape into tiny sections to fit behind small die cuts. Lastly I added the die cut word "hello" which is from the Sunny Sentiments coordinating dies.

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back next Monday with more Easter card inspiration.

Treat Bag Topper Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I wanted to show you the versatility of the Treat Bag Topper die! Yes, it can be a topper, but this set has extra shapes that make it so great. I created a card and matching envelope to highlight these options. As I mentioned in previous posts, I am always looking for ways to increase my birthday card stash! A situation that many of us may be familiar with!

For this design, I created a white panel with the outer border from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I used the rectangle from the Treat Bag Topper die and tried to create three evenly spaced windows in this panel. At this point I was still going for a see through card, so I cut a piece of acetate and placed in on the back of the white piece.

In the pictures, this acetate is almost invisible, but it is the surface that I used to glue all my components in place! I changed my mind about the design because the white panel had become flimsy, after all the die cutting. I decided to glue a beautiful ocher yellow paper from Gingham Pastels to the back of the frame, making it much sturdier!

If you are in for a party, make sure to invite the adorable Birthday Cats. I selected a few cuties and accessories and colored them in with my copics. The big birthday cake is from the Make A Wish stamps. The sentiment combines the ‘Happy’ word (Treat Bag Topper die) and  ‘Birthday’ (Happy Thoughts) which I stamped on the cake in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I glued the Happy sentiment to the middle part of the card and created little ‘cats with cake’ clusters on the top and bottom of the design. A few Gold Jewels were the finishing touch!

Finally, I die cut three party hats and banners from the Treat Bag Topper die and Gingham Pastels to decorate a white envelope for this card.

Thank you for joining me and I hope you will have a fun time with these dies!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are integrating the cute Gift Card Envelope die into a card design. Of course, this die is totally adorable on its own and you can create the sweetest little card projects. But I thought it would be fun to create a little scene and have a Garden Fairy fly out of the envelope!

To start, I created a white A2 card base and grabbed a colorful flower paper from the Flirty Flowers pack. This set is one of my favorites, not only do you get gorgeous pastel colors, but one side of the papers has a heart pattern whilst the other side are flowers. I love having these versatile paper pads that give you a ton of options! For this fairytale card I opted for a beautiful purple tone and cut the panel with the outside border die from Frilly Frames Chevron. I glued this piece directly to the card base.

For my Gift Card Envelope I selected another purple paper, polka dots this time from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pad. The envelope is very easy to assemble, I just used a few strips of narrow double-sided tape to connect the flaps.

Next, I stamped and die cut my elements for the scene from the Garden Fairy and Garden Critters sets. All the coloring was done with my favorite medium, being Copic markers. I kept the color palette simple sticking with purples, pinks, and blues. Isn’t it great that in cardmaking you can have pink mushrooms and ladybugs!

For a grassy border I used the same paper as the background and one of the Mini Grass Border dies. I placed all the elements I had so far on my card and decided I needed a big bold sentiment. Since I am always in need of birthday cards I used this sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings set and cut it with the matching die. Another set that is an absolute staple piece for any craft room!

Finally, I mounted the envelope to the card base and build the scene. I love how the fairy seems to fly out! Lastly, I added the sentiment and a few pink gems from the Pastel Jewels mix.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
