Designer's Choice: Holiday Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am mixing and matching several sets for this designer’s choice blog post. The darling bear from Holiday Hugs is perfect for all your winter cards but I wanted to see how I could make him the focal point of a Spring birthday card!

To achieve this look, I had to mask off his scarf with some Post-it tape while I was stamping. It went really well and next I used the matching dies to cut him out. I love the special die for the arms! 

Whilst browsing through my stash I selected a few birthday related stamps like the big cake (Make A Wish), the gift (Holiday Hugs), the bouquet (Big Bunny) and the letters (Bighearted Bears).All these items were colored with alcohol markers in fun Spring colors.

My card base is an A2 size and made from white heavy weight card stock. For the pink gingham frame I used a Joyful Holiday paper, which was cut with the outer of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies and the largest of the Stitched Arched Dies.

Since the coloring was so bright, I opted for a white backdrop. The upper part is dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts folder, whilst the lower part was run through the Lots Of Dots folder (but that is difficult to see in the pictures). I added foam tape to the gingham frame and lower part of the background and adhered all the elements to my card base. Next, I added the cute bear and all his birthday accessories!

I love how the Brilliant Banner 2 Die perfectly fits on top of the arched frame. The combined sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. For some bling, I adhered a few Crystal Clear Jewels which are one of my favorites.

I hope you got inspired to experiment with stamp masking, it’s such a fun technique! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

My Heart Card with Tammy

Hello friends, Tammy here with a fun Valentine's themed project, featuring the stamp set, My Heart. I love making mini cards and had so much fun turning these sweet critters into shaped mini cards with a Gift Card Envelope. These will be my girls' Valentine's this year; along with a gift card and little chocolate! 

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:
Big Bunny/ Big Bunny Dies
Holiday Hugs/ Holiday Hugs Dies

Next, I created the mini cards by scoring a piece of white cardstock in half, then placed the bear and bunny dies just slightly over the edge of the fold, and ran through my die cut machine. I attached the colored images to the front of the mini cards, then stamped the inside using sentiments from Bighearted Bears in red ink.

Using the Gift Card Envelope Dies, I die cut little red and pink envelopes from the Classic Gingham and Gingham Pastels Paper. Lastly, I stamped the beautiful Valentine sentiments in both red and pink ink using the My Heart stamp set. I then die cut the stamped images using the My Heart Dies and attached them to the front of the gift card envelopes with foam tape to complete my project! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!
