Stitched Arch Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey crafters! It’s Amanda here! Today, I’m sharing this fun summer card and how I made it! Keep reading to see all the products I used, Copic markers, and how I put it all together!

The first step to creating this card is to trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. Next, using some low tack tape, secure the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies in the center of the panel. Set this panel aside for later.

Next, grab 2 pieces of blue or teal cardstock for the waves. Using the Catch a Wave Dies, create 2 waves that are approximately 4” wide. Glue the waves together and then place foam tape behind them.

On an A2 card base, glue a piece of red cardstock directly to the front of it. Then, attach your waves with the foam tape. Place foam tape only on the upper portion of the arch panel.  Put glue on the bottom portion where it touches the waves. This will keep the arch panel level.

Grab your Ocean View and Kiddie Pool Stamp Sets, a MISTI or stamping platform, and alcohol marker-friendly black ink. Stamp the images with the black ink and then get your Copic markers ready!

Here are the Copic marker colors I used to color this scene:

Girl:
Hair: E53, E55, E57, E59
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Mouth: R37, R59
Suit: RV23, RV25, RV29
Goggles: B02, B06 (B21 for the lenses)

Crab: RV23, RV25, Rv29, R46

Rocks: N4, N5, N6, N8

Plants & Shell: 
YR000, YR12, YR15, YR16, YR18
Y32, Y35, Y38
E00, E13
BG11, BG13, BG15

Once coloring is complete, trim the images out with the coordinating dies or fussy cut them with scissors. Add some white highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

On a small piece of black cardstock, stamp the sentiment with a WOW embossing pad, apply white embossing powder, and then melt the powder with a heat tool. Trim the sentiment into a strip and then create a flag/banner edge with scissors.

Glue the rocks and plants directly to the waves, having the edges poke out in front of the arch. Then, put 3D foam squares behind the girl, crab, shell, and sentiment strip and add them to the scene. Finally, glue a few of the Clear Jewels around the card to complete the card!

What a fun layout for a card using that Stitched Arch Die! I hope you enjoyed reading about this card! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspo!

Tiki Time Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog! Since summer is officially here, I thought it would be nice to take you to the beach, drink some refreshing cocktails and have fun in the ocean. As very often, the scene I had in mind was extra busy with many images, so I went for a slimline design to create my card.

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 matching dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Tiki Time - bar, torches, cocktails, leaves, toucans • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts • Tropical Birds - flowers • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs • Beach Bus - surfboard • Ocean View - seashell • Beach Babies - two characters, balloon • Kiddie Pool - four characters, droplets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, snorkeling mask.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, set them aside for later, and cut a 3 x 8 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, divided it in three sections using washi tape again, and used oxide inks to create my beach landscape:

• in the upper section, I created a cloudy sky using a stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and broken china. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky,

• on the middle section, I blended antique linen and vintage photo to create sand, and added brown splatters using vintage photo oxide ink,

• on the lower section, I did the ocean using broken china and uncharted mariner, and added dark blue splatters using uncharted mariner oxide ink.

Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. And to give the illusion of sea foam between the sand section and the ocean section, I applied white ink on that area using a sponge dauber, and added even more ink using the rounded end of a brush.

When my panel was dry, I white embossed "Happy summer" from Beach Babies at the very bottom, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut a scalloped panel out of aqua cardstock using a Slimline Scalloped Frame die, attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and finally stuck my beach scene panel using foam tape again.

And that's it! Now put your swimsuit on, grab your sunscreen and sunglasses, and let's go have some fun at the beach! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
