Summer Jar Mug Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be sharing with you this lovely card featuring the jar from the Summer Jar Mug die set from the Summer 2024 release. I have so many ideas of cards to make with this new die set, and the first that came to my mind was this ladybug themed card with ladybug fairies, because I like to use them for all the seasons and for any theme. If you missed them, here are the previous Garden Fairy cards I made: Bee Fairies, Halloween Fairies, Night Fairies, Holiday Fairies.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I entirely covered with saltwater taffy oxide inks, with a little bit of festive berries oxide ink on the edges. To create a ladybug pattern, I used a bubble stencil from my stash along with black soot oxide ink to make black dots all over my panel. I splattered water on my piece of paper and dried it using a paper towel, mixed some festive berries oxide ink with water and added more splatters on my panel using a small brush, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut another 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel, cut two grass borders out of it using a Picket Fence Border die, and colored both of them using shabby shutters and mowed lawn oxide inks. I mixed some rustic wilderness oxide ink with water, and used my small brush again to make splatters on the grass borders, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. 

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Garden Fairy - two fairies • Garden Critters - ladybugs and leaves • Special Day - heart • Love Birds - flowers • Little Birdie - branches • Bunnyville - grass, butterflies, tulips • Outback Critters - small branch • Seasonal Trees - log

Next I worked on my shaker Summer Jar Mug, and started off by cutting the different pieces: one holographic jar frame for the front, one whole acetate jar, one whole pearlescent vellum jar for the back, and two white jar frames to create dimension inside the jar. I first attached some images directly on the pearlescent jar using liquid glue, making sure to leave enough space on the edges to attach the jar later on. I attached the acetate jar at the back of the holographic jar frame using liquid glue. Next I stuck both white jar frames to the acetate using liquid glue again. Poured some iridescent confetti inside the jar, and finally glued the pearlescent jar to close my shaker jar.

I attached everything on my ladybug panel, starting with the grass borders using 1mm foam squares. Next I stuck the jar using liquid glue at the bottom and 1mm foam squares at the top. And then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space on the top left hand corner for my white heat embossed "You make my heart flutter" greeting from Garden Critters.

Finally I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the fairies wings to make them shine, and glued a tiny red clay heart next to my greeting for a last touch of cuteness. 

And that's it! I hope you like this new card, I had so much fun making it, and I can't wait to share more cards with the amazing Summer Jar Mug. See you next week!

Designer's Choice: Garden Fairy Shaker Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of bee themed shaker tags. I've had this idea of creating bee fairies since last year, so I'm glad I can finally share this project with you.

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I picked:

• Garden Fairy for three fairies
• Garden Critters for the bees
• Just Bee-cause for the beehive
• Little Birdie for the branch
• Love Birds for a heart and flowers

Next I worked on the shaker tags. I built them following the same process, so here are the different steps:

1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and use a 2,5 inches circle die to cut a window out of it

2. Use the same Scalloped Tag Circle die to cut a whole tag out of acetate, and another one out of a Polka Dot Parade aqua pattern paper

3. Attach the acetate tag at the back of the woodgrain tag using liquid glue, and add foam strips on the acetate, all along the scalloped edges of the tag, following the rounded shape

4. Pour some shaker accessories on the acetate, I used 3mm clear sequins, peel the backing papers off the foam strips, and attach the polka dot aqua tag to close the shaker tag

I stamped "What's buzzin'?" from Garden Critters on each tag, directly on the acetate, using white stazon ink, attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added ribbon and twine, applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts and wings, and finished my tags with highlights and details using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I really love how those shaker tags turned out, I hope you like them too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with you sharing a fun scene featuring the Sprawling Surfaces stamps. I made this a bit whimsical and colorful card. 

I started by die-cutting the square frame using the Fancy Frames Squares dies. Sponge a white panel using salty ocean distress ink to create the sky. Next stamp the brick path, color using copics and adhere to the base of the panel.

Stamp the images, color and die-cut:
Bushes, leaves, sentiment - Lovely Lilacs stamps and dies
Fairy, snail - Garden Fairy stamps and dies
Houses - Charming City stamps and dies

Adhere the images onto the sky panel. Stamp the sentiment. Adhere this panel behind the frame using 3 d foam. To finish, add some glitter to the fairy wings.
