Designer's Choice: Sealiously Sweet Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are going to the beach! The sun is out and so are the cute seals from the Sealiously Sweet set. Totally adorable with their little floaties!

To set the scene, I die cut a panel of white card stock with the beautiful Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. This die makes it super easy to create a beachy vibe in no time. I kept the frame part white and started inking up the sand with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide.

The top part of the background was colored with Salty Ocean ink. I added an extra dark ‘line’ with a blue Copic marker to define the separation between sea and sky.

One of the seals will be playing in the ocean so I used a small wave die from my stash to cut an opening. Next, I glued the white frame to a card base and added the two other pieces which fit like a puzzle.

After stamping three adorable seals and some accessories I did all the coloring with Copics. I used the same green and brown markers for the palm tree die cuts from Tropical Trees Backdrop dies.

The curved banner from Brilliant Banner 2 die was perfect to add to this tropical scene. The sentiment was taken from the versatile Heartfelt Wishes set and stamped in pink ink.

After I glued the palm trees in place, I added the sweet seals and accessories. The white ‘waves and foam’ were created with a Snow Pen which I normally only use on winter cards, but it delivered for this summer scene as well! I finished this project by sprinkling a few Crystal Clear jewels.

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!

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!

Notebook Die Focused Card with Bobbi

Hello Sunny friends! It’s Bobbi here with a file folder filled with get well wishes! I’m using the new Notebook Tabs dies, to make the manila folder with some well wishes inside. 

I’m also using the following products:

Notebook Photo Corners dies

Puppy Love stamps and dies

Heartfelt Wishes stamps

A Cut Above stamps

Bright Balloon dies 

Sending Sunshine stamps 

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started with a light yellow cardstock that looks similar to the color of a manila folder. I cut the piece to  9 -1/4″ wide X 7″ long and scored at 5″  to make the front panel shorter than the back panel. I used a corner rounder (1/4″) to round the edges. I added a tab to the top of the front panel in a light blue with a white center. This card could be personalized with the name of the recipient on the tab.

I decorated the front of the file folder with the cute puppy holding the heart, the balloons and the sentiment strips from Sending Sunshine stamps. I added some confetti in bold cardstock colors. I also used the die cut scrap border from one of the notebook pages (located inside the folder) to the front for a background for the balloons and pup.

Inside, I added two pieces of  “notebook” paper, a red and white striped paper clip and a puppy at the bottom. I stamped the sentiment, “get well wishes” on the inside. I used a stamp from the A Cut Above stamp set to make the lines on the notebook paper. A little personalized note could be written on the lines!

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with more Christmas in July inspiration! Today I'm featuring the gorgeous Ocean View stamp set, and we're going to stretch out our supplies by turning a snowman from Feeling Frosty into a sandman!

I started off with the coloring. I stamped the Ocean View image on a large piece of cardstock, and colored it using my alcohol markers. And I picked a few additional stamps from different sets to complete my scene:

Christmas Critters: the Christmas hat
Farm Fresh: a crow that will become a seagull
Balloon Rides: the sun
Savanna Safari: the small rocks + grass

I wanted both crabs to look at the sandman. One of them was already looking in the right direction, but the other one was not. So I stamped a third crab and cut his eyes off, and I stuck those eyes on the second crab to make him look at the sandman.

I trimmed the Ocean View panel into a 5,5 x 4,25" portrait panel, and then used the coordinating die to get rid of the top of the panel. I also cut a piece of Spring Sunburst pattern paper to make the sky, and I attached both pieces on a card base.

I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of the panel using words from two different sets: "Have a" + "Christmas" from Lazy Christmas, and "Clawsome" from Best Fishes to get the following phrase "Have a clawsome Christmas". And next I attached all the images on the panel using foam squares.

As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, I added a bunch of dots on the ocean lines to bring a reflection effect to the waves, and that's it! I hope this card will inspire you to stretch out your supplies! As always you are more than welcome to check the process video for more details (click on the image above). Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week.
