Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card featuring a custom sentiment made with the versatile Hayley Alphabet Uppercase and Hayley Alphabet Lowercase dies. I love the scripty font of these dies and how easy they are to connect in creating words. The possibilities are endless with these amazing products.

As I have mentioned before here on the blog, I am always in need of fun birthday cards! So, what better word to spell than ‘Congrats’. I die cut all the letters from pink card stock and adhered them together with some drops of liquid glue. The letters all overlap to create that fluid scripty font, having the word already created will give me the opportunity to play around with the correct placement in a later phase.

The Cherry Blossoms stamps were the perfect match for the cute bear from Panda Party. First, I stamped the layering flowers in three shades of pink inks from my stash. For the leaves, I kept with the cool tones and went with a vibrant blue color. I used the same color for the Winter Wreath. The panda was stamped, die cut and colored with Copic markers. Of course, he needed a party hat too!

With so much going on in this design, I created a simple striped background panel with a stencil from my stash. I placed all my components on the background and decided I needed another small sentiment (‘It’s your birthday’ from Little Birdie). I didn’t have a card base in the same blue color as my leaves and wreath, so I just inked up the sides of a white one for a perfect match.

Next, I glued the background panel to that base and popped up the wreath, flowers, leaves and bear with foam tape. Lastly, I added the ‘Congrats’ word and sentiment banner. A few blue jewels from the Bright mix were scattered around the wreath.

I am sure you will love these amazing alphabet dies as much as I do! Can’t wait to see all your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful birthday card featuring the Hayley Alphabet Dies.

I was inspired by my former team mate Kavya and her colorful creations! First, I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my slimline card base and inked the background with Broken Glass and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Inks. 

Now I stamped all my images from Panda Party, Fast Food Fun, Looking Sharp and Lovable Llama. I colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card.

Then I die-cut the letters, spelled "Spec-taco-lar" and adhered them. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the rest of the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it before adding highlights with a white gel pen.

I hope this happy card will brighten someone's day! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Spring Fever Focused Cards with Lien and Isha

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here back with a colorful clean and simple card. With lots of friends living abroad, I use a ton of "miss you" and "thinking of you" cards. And any sort of card you need a lot from, you probably want a quick way to make them. Even better, this card design works for any occasion, just swap out the sentiment and you're good to go!

I simply stamped the fun image from the Passionate Penguins stamp set in alcohol marker friendly ink and colored it in with my Ohuhu Markers. I do use a trick when stamping for marker colorings where I leave the stamp sitting in my Misti and after I'm done coloring I stamp it once again in Versafine Onyx Black ink. This is a pigment ink and stays wet for a while so I can add clear embossing powder to it.

I love a glossy black embossed outline but if you go over that line too often with alcohol markers, you will rub it away and it might even ruin the nib of your markers. This simple trick takes 2 minutes extra and I love the finished look. I die cut the image with the coordinating dies.

To put this card together, I just used a piece of patterned paper from the gorgeous Spring Fever paper pack and adhered that to the top of my card. I added a sentiment white embossed on black from the Breakfast Puns stamp set and put it behind the image which I propped up on some foam tape. Simple, quick, easy to mass produce, and you can make this work for any occasion!

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a fun and cheerful card. I played with patterns from the new Spring Fever paper collection. I decided to incorporate some of the new and old stamps and dies as they all blend well together.

To start, I cut the floral pattern, matted it with a pink cardstock and adhered to a white card base. Then cut the dotted yellow paper stripe and adhere. Next, I die-cut the tag using the cloud background paper from the Mini Mat and Tag 2 dies. Die-cut the grass from the grass pattern paper using the Picket Fence dies. Die-cut the birds from the Build-A-Birdhouse dies, color using copic markers.

Stamp the cactus from the Looking Sharp stamp set, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the word "THANKS" from the Big Bold Greetings stamp and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Assemble everything together. To finish add the twine and some enamel dots.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Stamp the images using copic friendly ink, colour and die-cut.

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card for you all. Today’s card was inspired by Marine Simon - an amazing card maker that I always look up to. She used the newly released Swimming Pool Die to create a pond complete with adorable frogs! I decided to use it just like she did and create a fun jungle scene with a hippo walking in a lake. 

I started off by creating a background by ink blending Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold for the sky and a strip of green cardstock for the grass. I created my lake by using green and blue cardstock ink blended with coordinating dye inks. 

Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Savannah Safari and Tropical Scenes stamp sets. Finally, I added a heat embossed sentiment and I was done! 

I hope this card inspires you to find new ways to use products already in your stash :) Happy Crafting!

Gingerbread House Bookmark & Card with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! I absolutely love the new Gingerbread House die this release and it’s just perfect for so many projects - tags, cards, gift bags and even bookmarks. I created this fun bookmark for a friend who loves the holidays. I hope they love it! 

My bookmark is sized 2.75”x 5.5”. I decided to make it a bit wider so that I can add some gingerbread critters at the end. I first started off by die cutting various components for the house using Gingerbread House die and linen, brown, cream, red, blue, green and yellow cardstock. For the house, I ink blended the edges using distress oxide inks and splattered some paint to make it a bit more realistic. I also used the Icing Border dies to add some fun! 

I added some more details using a white gel pen and finished it off using two gingerbread friends from Christmas Cookie stamp set.

That’s it! Wasn’t that a fun project! Hope you liked it! Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a fun card featuring our Gingerbread House dies. I was tempted to do a Christmas theme card but then decided to play with this fun die and created a summer theme card.

I started by taking a white square card base. Add the yellow sunburst pattern paper from the Classic Sunburst Paper pack. I then die-cut the Gingerbread House pieces in various colors, sponged some distress inks to give some more depth. Adhere to the card. Adhere the stripe paper from the Sleek Stripes paper pad behind the windows.

I then die-cut the fence using the Scalloped Fence die. Adhere to both the sides of the house. Stamp the images, color using Copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere them to the card to create the scene.

Cactus - Looking Sharp stamp and dies
Birds - Outback Critters stamp and dies
Flowers, snail, butterfly - Garden Fairy stamp and dies
Sentiment - Snail Mail

Die-cut the grass using the Picket Fence dies from the pattern paper, sponge peeled paint distress ink. Stamp the sentiment and adhere to the card.
