Fabulous Flamingos Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be sharing with you this lovely scene featuring three Fabulous Flamingos having a quiet moment in a pond, with dragonflies and flies buzzing around.

I started off by cutting a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a simple cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to my cloudy sky using a slim brush, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, and then added highlights and details using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Fabulous Flamingos - flamingos • Country Scenes - pond, cattails, small water lilies • Froggy Friends - cattails, flies, large water lily • Feeling Froggy - dragonflies • Seasonal Trees - trees.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, trimmed the bottom of my pond image from Country Scenes using the same Rounded Rectangle Mat die as the one I used to make the cloudy background, and then attached everything to my cloudy panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I first cut two banner pieces out of light pink cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1 dies. I white heat embossed "For my flamazing friend" on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the whole banner to my panel using foam squares again. "For my" and "Friends" are from Little Birdie, and "Flamazing" is from Fabulous Flamingos. Finally, I attached my panel to a white card base, and added white blizzard nuvo drops to the dragonflies wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! I wonder what those cute flamingos are talking about, don't you? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Froggy Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, back with this super fun shaker card featuring some Froggy Friends having fun jumping and hopping from a pad to another. I totally enjoyed creating this card, and I hope that it will inspire you!

So, as very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in various shades of green and also bright pinks for the water lily flowers to match with the shaker components.

Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Froggy Friends - frogs, large cattails, large pads, flies • Country Scenes - small cattails, water lily flowers on pads • Puddle Jumpers - frog umbrella • Feeling Froggy - fireflies.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then worked on my shaker panel. First, I cut a Comic Strip Everyday panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock and kept the frame only. I cut another one out of an Amazing Argyle teal woodgrain pattern paper, kept the five inside pieces only, and used a scalloped die from the Sweet Treat House Add-On to cut five slim scalloped borders out of those inside pieces.

Next I attached my woodgrain frame to a clear acetate panel using liquid glue, and stuck a slim scalloped border at the bottom of each window using liquid glue as well. On the upper part of the top right hand corner window, I stamped "You make me hoppy" from Froggy Friends using white Stazon ink (it dries quickly and doesn't smear on acetate) I flipped my woodgrain panel over, added foam strips all along the four edges and at the back of the slim window dividers as well, creating this way five spaces to pour lots of Frogs & Flowers confetti into. I peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached a Gingham Pastels teal gingham panel to the strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I attached my panel to a white card base and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I attached a few flies and fireflies here and there, and finally added white blizzard nuvo drops to the fireflies wings to make them sparkle. 

And that's it! What a cool and fun project it was to create, I hope that you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Puddle Jumpers, Froggy Friends, & Spring Showers Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some spring cards showcasing our Puddle Jumpers Stamps.

For my first card, I used the girl, frog umbrella, and baby ducks from our Puddle Jumpers Stamps, the frogs, lily pads, and cattails from our Froggy Friends Stamps, and the pond border from our Country Scenes Stamps. I love how they all came together! 

To ink up my pond, I stamped and fussy cut a mask (which I store with the stamps and have already used on a handful of cards) to protect the pond's edge and cattails before inking up the bottom half with Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I then cut the grassy hill in the background using our Mini Grass Border Dies and inked around the cattails in my pond scene with a Copic Marker so that they would blend into the grassy background. I also used Copic Markers to sketch some water rings around the pond's edge, each cattail, and flicking some blades of grass in the background. Lastly, I stamped a cute punny greeting from the Froggy Friends Stamps.

For my second card featuring the Puddle Jumpers Stamps, I paired the girl, puddle, and four ducks from the set with the duck umbrella, clouds, raindrops, and tulips from our Spring Showers Stamps, and the extra duck from our Farm Fresh Stamps. To frame my scene, I adhered our Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies to a 4.25" square card base, making sure to sandwich some yellow cardstock in between to show through the eyelet lace openings. I then masked off the scalloped edges with thin strips of masking material to form a square just inside the stitched square of the die and inked within by blending an ombre with Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron Distress inks. Lastly, I stamped the small "hello" greeting from our Lovely Lilac Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending a card to a loved one today. 💛
