Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun cupcake-shaped birthday card to share showcasing the Cupcake Shape Dies, Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies, Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies and Birthday Mouse sets. There’s something about shaped cards that always catches my eyes. They are just so unique and extra special. And who doesn’t love a cupcake, right? Full confession: I have a soft spot for alphabet dies. I collect them whenever I can. These Hayley Alphabet Dies are just perfect for creating your own sentiments or personalizing a card. So let’s get started.

I used the Cupcake Shape Dies to die cut a cupcake, a cherry, two candles and two cupcake shadow dies out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. Next, I stamped the mouse image from the Birthday Mouse Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Birthday Mouse Dies to die cut it out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Frosting: RV000/00/10/21
Cupcake: E51/53/55
Cupcake Liner: RV21/13/14/25/29
Candles: B000/00/02, YG01/03/25, Y11/08 R14
Cherry: R20/14/24/27/29, YG03/25
Mouse: E51/53/33/35, R000/00/20, R20, W7
Tricycle: RV10/21/13, W7
Balloons: B000/00/02, RV000/00/10/21/13/14, YG00/01/03/25

Happy Cupcake Day! For the sentiment, I used the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the necessary letters. I adhered them to the frosting of the cupcake with liquid adhesive. I stamped the “Happy” and “Day” sentiments from the Panda Party Stamps set directly onto the frosting of the cupcake with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

For the card base, I took one of the two cupcake shadow die cuts and used my score board to score a horizontal line at the 0.75” mark from the tip of the frosting. I added some strong double-sided tape to the frosting tip and adhered the two cupcake shadow die cuts to each other to create a top folding card with a hinge at the frosting.

I adhered the colored cupcake, candles and cherry onto the front of the card base with liquid glue. I added the little mouse to the front of the cupcake with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I love the fun shape of this card and how well it was designed to maximize the card size but still fit perfectly into an A2 sized envelope for easy mailing.

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Tina M

Hello there! Tina M here sharing a card created with the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps!

I have a mini slim line card for you today! The size of the card base is 3,50 x 6 inches. I added a piece of orange polka dot paper from the Polka-Dot Parade Paper pack to cover the card base, using double sided tape.

Next, on a piece of white card stock I ink blended orange and pink ink. I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them both to the card base, using double sided tape. Now on to the stamping of the images!

I stamped the bees, the beehive, the little bucket and the heart shaped swirl from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and the branch, leaves and flowers from the Love Birds Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Love Birds Dies to die cut them out and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I added the leaves and flowers to the branch using liquid glue.

Copic colors used:
Bees: YR04, Y15/17, B01/000
Beehive: YR04/07, Y15/17, N5/6/8
Branch: E21/23/25
Leaves: YG03/17
Flowers: Y17, RV52/55

Next, I added foam dots to the back of the die cut images for dimension and adhered them to the card, except for the heart swirl which I glued directly to the panel using liquid glue.

For the sentiment I stamped the “Just buzzin´ by to say” from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set at the bottom of the panel. I used the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the HI letters out of pink and black cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the panel.

To complete my card I used Distress Rock Cand and Distress Matte medium for glue to the wings of the bees and to the center of the flowers for some sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Berry Bliss & Slice of Summer Fruit Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fruit-themed cards for Summer using our fabulous Berry Bliss Stamps and Slice of Summer Stamps.

First, I have a card using the layered citrus slice from our Slice of Summer Stamps, which I stamped to look like lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange slices. I then die-cut a stitched circle using our Stitched Circle Small Dies, where I lightly drew 12 spokes on the back with my pencil and clear ruler like I was slicing a pizza or adding clock tick marks to give me a way to evenly space my fruit slices. Then, on the back of each slice, I drew a pencil through the center at the halfway mark to give me another point to line up each slice. I then arranged each slice, having them overlap the outside edge of my white cardstock circle by 1/2". I used liquid adhesive for this task to have a little wiggle room to adjust them before they dried as I quickly worked around the circle. As I was starting this project, I was nervous about my ability to make it look symmetrical. However, the easy measurement tricks I described worked, and I assembled this summer "wreath" rather quickly. 

I then used our Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies to die-cut the striped paper to match the fruit from our Summer Splash Paper pack. After it was die-cut, I carefully used my paper trimmer to trim off the four scalloped edges and leave a small border around the stitching. This gave me the perfect stitched square to layer over the same scalloped square cut from white cardstock for my card base. I cut a second white scalloped square to score along the top and to adhere to the backside of my card front to form my notecard. Lastly, I stamped the greeting from the Slice of Summer Stamps, substituting the word "slice" from our Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies.

My second card pairs the watermelon from the Slice of Summer Stamps with the strawberries, raspberries, and cherries from our Berry Bliss Stamps. I arranged them in and around our Layered Basket Stamps, wrapping twine around the basket and popping it up with foam tape to help it lie flat with the thickness of the twine. I stamped and heat-embossed the greeting "You're so sweet" from our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps onto a small tag cut with our Sweet Treats Gift Bag Die, which I topped with a twine bow. I also stamped a subtle pink diagonal grid pattern using our Background Basics 2 Stamps with VersaFine Clair Baby Pink Ink to add some interest to my background.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).

Baby Elephant Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a mini slimline card with the sweet Baby Elephants stamps and die set! I always try to have cards for several occasions in my stash and this set is just perfect for a new baby.

To start, I cut a white rectangle background panel to the size of a mini slimline using a die from my stash. As an extra layer I also created a white panel with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mats. Now it was time to choose one of the adorable elephants, stamp the image on the mat and enjoy some Copic coloring.

Next, I glued both pieces together with liquid glue and pulled a sky stencil for ink blending with Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide. I used a small blending brush and was able to avoid stenciling over the image. Of course, you can always cut a mask, but these tiny brushes work very well. I added some purple dots with a Copic marker for extra depth.

Then it was time to select the letters to spell the word ‘baby’ from a purple paper (Hayley Lowercase Alphabet). I also used the Hello word die cut (Dots & Stripes Pastel). By placing the rounded mat near the bottom of the mini slimline panel, I kept room to add both words above the image.

Next, I created a white card base with another die from my stash and added the cloudy panels with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I cut several sizes of stars (Comic Strip Speech Bubbles), colored them with the same yellow copics as the moon and spread them across the card. This makes the design even more dreamy and sweet.

Thank you for joining me and I look forward seeing the cards you create with this adorable set! Happy crafting!
