Wicker Basket Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and since Spring is in the air I made another Easter card with the cute Wicker Basket Die. Not the traditional wooden look this time but a colorful flower one filled with pastel eggs!

For my background I cut a panel from white cardstock with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes Die. I used some blue ink from my stash for some fun splatter. Next I added even more texture to this piece with the beautiful Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. The grass portion of the scene is build with two layers and I used both of the Mini Grass Borders Dies. In search of a green that would match the leaves in my pattern paper for the basket I went with a mix of Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. Of course, these pieces needed some splatters too!

Starting with a white card base I glued the dotted panel and the biggest grass border with liquid glue, the second grass border was popped up with foam tape. The Wicker Basket Die set comes with all the pieces you need for the perfect Easter hamper. For the basket I choose a beautiful floral pattern from Spring Fever. This was my inspiration for the color scheme of this card. The handle and part of the bow were cut from a blue gingham sheet (Gingham Pastel). Soft blue, pink and yellow pastel eggs were splattered and coated with some Stickles Glitter Glue for a ‘sugar coated effect’!

Most of my cards include critters and today three cuties from Chickie Baby are searching for the Easter Eggs! And they have found a lot already! All the coloring was done with my Copics in happy colors that would match my color theme.

I mounted the basket and bow to the background panel and added the Easter eggs, then it was time to scatter the chickies in and around the hamper. The sentiment was selected from the Big Bunny set and added to the grass border. A few soft blue Pastel Jewels were the perfect embellishment for this project. 

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

Spring Garden Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a card featuring the Spring Garden Dies paired with elements of the Wonderful Windows Dies to create a gardening bench!

This is an A2 card and I started with the background panel on the card front. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", inked it with Lilac and Orchid Simon Says Stamp inks and die-cut it with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I then die-cut the piece again with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a white card front.

For the lattice, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the notebook paper die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies and then die-cut the center of it using the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. This created a frame for the lattice. (You could also just cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” in place of the notebook paper die, but I liked the slightly rounded corners that this die produces.) Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” and die-cut it using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die. I then adhered the frame over the lattice and adhered the combined piece to the card front 1/4" from the top of the lilac background panel. I was able to line the lattice up with the lines of the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die background, but you could also back the lattice with an inked piece of cardstock before adhering it to the card front.

For the drawer portion of the bench, I die-cut a shutter twice from white cardstock using a Wonderful Windows Dies, layered them together and adhered them slightly overlapping the bottom of the lattice using foam dimensional tape. I die-cut drawer pulls from silver cardstock using dies also found in the Wonderful Windows Dies. I used a combination of inking and Copic coloring on the Spring Garden Dies. I just love the details of these dies and the cute little gardening tools!

To finish, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die, embossed a sentiment from the Watering Can Stamps with white embossing powder and inked it with Memento Lulu Lavender ink.

I hope you enjoyed and 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.

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am back on the blog with a gorgeous layering stamp set called Beautiful Bluebells and it’s coordinating dies.   

With these sets I always like to start with die cutting all the shapes from white Neenah card stock. I keep this paper to put into my Misti to do all the stamping. The die cut pieces will fit into this sheet as little puzzle pieces. And so, I can stamp multiple flowers at the same time, building them up layer by layer. For the flowers I used several blue and green inks from my stash.

Another trick I always use when doing layered stamping is to use the sheet the stamps come on as a guide for positioning. I saw this once in a card making video and have been doing this technique ever since.

Knowing the flowers would really be very bright and the star of the show, I needed a toned-down background with still some interest to it. I created a white panel with the Frilly Frames Chevron dies and added it to a white card base. To make this background more dimensional, I added foam tape to the frame and some of the chevron strips. Other strips were just glued to the base.

The Beautiful Bluebells are a perfect match for the large Layered Basket Stamps. I stamped just two layers of this set in a pale pink ink from my stash. Then I fussy cut the basket and made the edges a little darker by adding extra ink with a blending brush.

The little tag was made with dies from the Window Quad Square set. I had to trim it a bit to make it fit the basket. Next, I stamped the sentiment from Truckloads Of Love in the same pink ink as used before. After wrapping a piece of white twine around the basket I adhered it to the background with foam tape and added the tag with a little bow.

For the beautiful bouquet, I just started gluing the biggest flowers to the chevron panel with a repositionable tape runner so I could arrange the composition while adding more flowers. Next, I sprinkled some white paint splatters over the whole card front. Several Pure White Jewels were added across the design as a finishing touch.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a sweet Easter card featuring the Mini Grass Border dies. I combined these products with the adorable Big Bunny stamp and die set.

Starting with a white card base I added a bright orange polka dot paper from Spring Fever that was cut with the border of the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I used that same die combined with the Mini Grass Border dies to create two grassy hills from a green sheet of the same paper pad (Spring Fever).

To complete the background scene, I pulled the largest of the Stitched Semi Circle dies and inked this piece with Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade. I adhered the background pieces to the card base with liquid glue and added the two grass borders with some foam tape.

For this card I mixed and matched the cute bunny with the Easter basket (Big Bunny stamp) with three big carrots from Bunnyville. I love how all these elements work so well together. All the coloring was done with my Copic markers in happy colors that would match my background elements.

Next, I tucked the bunny in the grass border and noticed that the handle of the handle of the Easter basket was too high for this design. So, I just cut it off and the basket still looks adorable! I added all my elements to the background adding dimension where needed.

The sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To complete this fun project, I sprinkled a few Crystal Clear Jewels onto the card.

Spring Garden Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the fun Spring Garden dies! This set includes a variety of cute flowers and all the tools a gardener would need. I decided to go for a pastel Easter card, combining the dies with two adorable bunnies from Bunnyville. They are sized perfectly to fit inside the watering can and flowerpot!

I started with a white card base and a purple flower frame made from a sheet of the Flirty Flowers papers. After cutting a panel with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die, I used the largest of the Stitched Arched dies.

We are creating a little flower garden scene, so I also made two grassy borders with one of the Mini Grass Border dies and inked them with Distress Oxide Lucky Clover. Next, I pulled out the Picket Fence die. I love how the white of the fence gives extra dimension to the grass portion of this card. I kept my background fairly neutral with some soft yellow clouds (Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and a cloud stencil from my stash). The two bunnies from Bunnyville where colored in grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Then it was time for a bunch of die cutting, I used a sheet of white Neenah paper and did my ink blending in happy Spring colors (Distress Oxide Squeezed lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet, Lucky Clover).

After assembling the garden tools and flowers with some liquid glue, I arranged all the elements on the card panel. Next, I decided where I would stamp my sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After gluing the cloud panel to the card base, I added the grass borders and the fence. Next, I popped up the flower frame with foam tape. Then I added all my garden elements and bunnies. To create a garland for the top of the arch I used flowers from the Spring Garden dies and some purple leaves made with one of the Winter Greenery dies.

A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added for some fun bling. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
