Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this colorful and festive birthday card showcasing a mix & match of recent and previously released items, including Cat Antics from the Spring 2025 release. I've created this card as a companion to the Party Pets slimline card I shared a few weeks ago, and I love how they're both different but compliment each other very well.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers in a color palette I really love: pink, orange and yellow, with touches of brown. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - cats • Party Pets - balloons, party hats, presents • Holiday Express - train • Balloon Rides - banners.

Next I cut multiple stripes out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die, and attached them all on a slightly smaller panel than the regular A2 size using liquid glue. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my stripe panel, and then did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz for a touch of gold. Once it was dry,  I stuck my stripe panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

I cut three squares out of different Gingham Pastels papers using the 1-1/2 inch Stitched Square die, attached those squares on the upper part of my card using 1mm foam squares, I stuck all the images using foam squares again, and then added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

For my sentiment, I cut a speech bubble out of vellum using a Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die, I gold heat embossed "Make A Wish" from Make A Wish on the vellum bubble, and attached it on my panel using transparent foam squares. To finish my card, I glued a scattering of mini star confetti to add even more cuteness and shine to my panel. 

And that's it! I hope you like this fun and lovely birthday card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Designer's Choice: Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Christmas is here! I wish you all a fantastic Christmas season with your friends and family! Today, I’d like to show you a very special card – a Leporello card. 

For this, I scored a piece of cardstock into three sections and die-cut the background three times using the beautiful Distinctive Door Dies and the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies. 

I crafted the roof with the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die. What I love most about this card are the colorful lights and the snow, which make it feel so festive. I drew the snow with a white gel pen.

For the design, I die-cut many wagons from the Holiday Express Stamp set. I also used motifs from the Santa Claus Lane Stamp set. What a long train full of gifts and joy!

I hope this celebration will also bring you joy, happiness, and gifts. Merry Christmas!

Brilliant Banner 3 Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this cute holiday card featuring Santa, Rudolph and his reindeer friends. They're busy delivering presents to everyone who's been nice this year, and for the first time, Santa's sleigh stays in the garage, and the little gang is travelling the world in a Christmas van. How fun!

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers in my favorite holiday color palette, which is red, pink, aqua and green.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Beach Bus - van • Lazy Christmas - presents • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes • Holiday Express - Rudolph • Fall Friends - reindeers • North Pole - Santa, nice list • Panda Party - banner • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.

I set my images aside, and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in two sections using washi tape: the sky at the top, and snow at the bottom. I colored the sky using kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry oxide inks, and the snow using salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. As always I added lots of textures to my panel, starting with water droplets on the sky. I also mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the snow section. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen, and then moved on to my greeting that I created using Brilliant Banner 3 dies. I cut the two main pieces out of light pink cardstock, and white heat embossed "You're on my nice list" from North Pole on the front piece. I layered both pieces on top of each other using 1mm foam squares, and for an extra shiny detail, I cut another banner out of holographic cardstock, stuck it behind my pink banner using liquid glue, and finally attached the completed banner in the top part of my panel using foam squares again.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Merry Mocha Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here! Today I want to show you a card that is as colorful and cheerful as I imagine Christmas to be! At the center of the card is the winter mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. 

Since everyone loves to enjoy a big slice of Christmas cake with their hot cocoa, I stamped the cake from the Special Day Stamps set and decorated it with elements from the Holiday Express Stamps set to give it a festive Christmas look. For me, the "marzipan" tree ;-) is the big highlight of the cake. The cake’s pattern is created with the snowflake from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. I colored the images using Copics.

Overall, the card is designed as an indoor scene, as I created the card base using the Windows Quad Square Dies. This die is perfect for quick window cards and fits a classic card format beautifully. It's also great for making shaker cards. The scent of hot chocolate and Christmas cake has even drawn in guests from outside! As you can see, Santa and his reindeer friends have sneaked up to the window, waiting for a big slice of delicious cake. Santa is from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps, and the reindeer are from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.

For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers, and created a winter landscape using the Forest Trees Stencil and a white gel pen. Finally, I added sequins to complete the shaker card! To finish, I used the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies and stamped the text "Have a super jolly Christmas" from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.
