Country Carnival & Enchanted Theme Park Slimline Card with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share a card for Summer featuring our Country Carnival Stamps and elements from several other fun sets!

I wanted to create an amusement park scene with a parade of princess floats for this card. Knowing all the elements I wanted to include, a 9" wide x 4" high slimline-style card felt like the perfect canvas for my project! I used the Ferris wheel, carousel, castle, bears, and mini balloons from the Country Carnival Stamps to populate my theme park. I added Princess Belle and Cinderella, as well as the castle in the distance from our Enchanted Stamps, and elevated them to look more like a float using the train from our Holiday Express Stamps. To transform my holiday train to a parade float, I colored it in shades of pink and gold and dressed it up with buntings from the Balloon Rides Stamps. A bear from the Beach Buddies Stamps colored to look like he was wearing mouse ears was added as a train conductor.

In the distance, behind my scene, I added the mountains and trees from our Spring Scenes Stamps. I inked up my sky and added the mini cloud dies from our Comic Strip Everyday Dies. I then added another cardstock layer, blending from Antique Linen to Citron Green, and die-cutting the top edge using our Mini Grass Border Dies. To keep my busy scene from becoming too overwhelming, I kept all my elements within a narrow color scheme of pink, yellow, and baby blue, with touches of green for the trees and grass and neutral brown tones for the ground, bears, and mountains. There was a lot of coloring, but I enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too!

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

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!
