Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this new underwater shaker card showcasing the lovely mermaids from Mermaid Kisses. I've featured them two times already, here and here, and since tomorrow is Valentine's day, I thought it would be fun to create Valentine mermaids.

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 matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Mermaid Kisses - mermaids, seaweeds, tiny seashell, tiny starfish, small fish • Best Fishes - clown fish • Magical Mermaids - jellyfish, tiny fish, starfish, bubbles • Bighearted Bears - envelopes • Tropical Scenes - corals.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created an underwater background using oxide inks. I first applied, from top to bottom, spun sugar and worn lipstick oxide inks. Next I placed a wave pattern stencil on my panel, and applied, from top to bottom, worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters using a slim brush, and then did the same with festive berries oxide ink.

Once my panel was dry, I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape die to cut three hearts out of my panel. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches pink panel, placed my underwater panel on top, put the three hearts back on their original spots and glued them on the pink panel using liquid glue. I stuck a piece of acetate at the back of the underwater panel, added foam strips all the around the heart windows and on the rest of the panel, poured some iridescent heart confetti and a mix of polymer clay confetti inside each heart window, peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached the pink panel to the foam strips to close my shaker panel.

Next I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bubbles and hearts on the envelopes to make them sparkle. For my greeting, I stamped "Fintastic" from Fintastic Friends on the middle heart using white stazon ink, I white heat embossed "Life with you is" from Country Carnival on red cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner, and stuck it right above "Fintastic" using foam squares.

And that's it! A new super bright and colorful card, I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Mermaid Kisses Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating an underwater scene with one of the cute mermaids from the Mermaid Kisses stamp and die set.

I started with a white card base and added a layer of white card stock which was cut with the outer die from Frilly Frames Stripes die and embellished with the Dotted Diamonds Portrait die. The card panel consists of a Stitched Arch cut from white paper, divided into three wave parts (Catch A Wave dies) and colored with blue inks from my stash. After cutting another arch, I used this one as my base to attach the wave parts. Then it was time to stamp the sentiment from Mermaid Kisses directly to the top of this panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I wanted my mermaid to rest on the sea bottom surrounded by beautiful corals so I stamped the ocean scene from Tropical Scenes and used the matching die to cut it out. To give it the ‘arch shape’ I used the largest Stitched Arch once more. After stamping and die cutting the mermaid and cute fish from Mermaid Kisses, I used my Copics to color all the images including the coral scene in vibrant tones.

Next, I added foam tape to this ocean border and mounted it to the bottom of the waves panel. Thereafter, this panel was adhered to the white diamond background. Finally, I added the fish, mermaid with crown, starfish, and seashells to the scene. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose the beautiful Iridescent Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with these sweet mermaids! Happy crafting!

Mermaid Kisses Card with Leanne

Hello crafty friends! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a card featuring a sweet little scene I've created with the Mermaid Kisses stamp set. 

This card is A2 size. I started by creating the inky scallop edged panel. The outer die from the Frilly Frames Hexagon creates a scalloped panel with faux stitches. I did a little ink smooshing to color the panel. I used a mix of Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks. I also generously splattered the panel with metallic watercolor. I then used a Stitched Semi-Circle die to cut out the window.

In the window area, I created an underwater scene with the images from Mermaid Kisses. I Copic colored them with the following colors: BG10, BG11, BG13, YR12, YR16, YR24, B60, B63, B66, G00, G02, G03, E02, E11, E21. After adhered the Copic colored images in place, I stamped the sentiment and tiny bubbles to fill in the scene.

Mermaid Kisses Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun underwater scene card featuring the cute Mermaid Kisses Stamps!

I started this A2 card with the ocean background. I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and heat embossed the sentiment on the left side 1 1/2" from the top edge with white embossing powder. I then inked the panel starting at the top with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I splattered some water with a fan brush and once dry, inked a sunray stencil at the top with Ranger Glacier White pigment ink.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock using the same frame from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and die-cut across the bottom 1 1/2" using a Slimline Nature Borders Die. I inked the piece with Antique Linen Distress ink and adhered it to the bottom of the ocean background. I then adhered the background to the card front.

To finish, I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

I used the following stamps and dies:
Mermaid Kisses Stamps/Dies
Fintastic Friends Stamps/Dies
Ocean View Stamps/Dies

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
