Sprawling Surfaces Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun friendship card featuring the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. When I first saw the wood plank stamp in this set, I immediately thought of the wooden boardwalks that we have on a trail near our home. There’s a creek that runs next to it and it’s very wooded. My husband and I frequently ride our bikes on the trail, so I had a fun time creating this little scene with the adorable bike riding duo from the Bighearted Bear Stamps.

To begin, I lightly inked a soft sky with Tumbled Glass Distress ink on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock panel. I then stamped the sentiment 3/4" from the top and centered using stamps from the Garden Critters Stamps and the Bighearted Bear Stamps.

Next, I inked a 2” x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock with Peeled Paint Distress ink and die-cut the top edge using a Mini Grass Border Die. I adhered it to the bottom of the sky background panel. The Autumn Tree Dies were the perfect size for my scene so I die-cut 2 trees and leaves from white cardstock and inked them with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink and Twisted Citron Distress ink. I adhered them slightly overlapping the right and left sides of the background piece and trimmed the excess with scissors along the edges. To add a pretty purple to my card, I die-cut small and large flowers using the Wonderful Windows Dies. I inked the large flowers in the trees with Dusty Concord Distress ink and added white gel pen details. I Copic colored the small flowers and adhered them towards the top of the grass piece. (I reserved some of the small flowers to tuck behind the boardwalk) I then adhered the background piece to an A2 card front.

For my creek, I stamped the pond from the Country Scenes Stamps on a 2” x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I then adhered it even with the bottom of the card. Since the boardwalks on our trail have wooden beams along the sides where there’s water or drop-offs, I stamped a few birdhouse posts from the A Bird’s Life Stamps to add along the edge of the wood stamp from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. I colored these with Copics, fussy cut them out and adhered my boardwalk along the bottom of the card. I also tucked in the remaining small flowers behind it.

To finish, I stamped the biking pandas from the Bighearted Bear Stamps and 2 butterflies from the Bunnyville Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. Since Spring days are often breezy, I added a few fallen flowers to the boardwalk.

I hope you enjoyed my happy Spring scene and it brings a smile! 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.

Spring Garden Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the fun Spring Garden dies! This set includes a variety of cute flowers and all the tools a gardener would need. I decided to go for a pastel Easter card, combining the dies with two adorable bunnies from Bunnyville. They are sized perfectly to fit inside the watering can and flowerpot!

I started with a white card base and a purple flower frame made from a sheet of the Flirty Flowers papers. After cutting a panel with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die, I used the largest of the Stitched Arched dies.

We are creating a little flower garden scene, so I also made two grassy borders with one of the Mini Grass Border dies and inked them with Distress Oxide Lucky Clover. Next, I pulled out the Picket Fence die. I love how the white of the fence gives extra dimension to the grass portion of this card. I kept my background fairly neutral with some soft yellow clouds (Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and a cloud stencil from my stash). The two bunnies from Bunnyville where colored in grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Then it was time for a bunch of die cutting, I used a sheet of white Neenah paper and did my ink blending in happy Spring colors (Distress Oxide Squeezed lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet, Lucky Clover).

After assembling the garden tools and flowers with some liquid glue, I arranged all the elements on the card panel. Next, I decided where I would stamp my sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After gluing the cloud panel to the card base, I added the grass borders and the fence. Next, I popped up the flower frame with foam tape. Then I added all my garden elements and bunnies. To create a garland for the top of the arch I used flowers from the Spring Garden dies and some purple leaves made with one of the Winter Greenery dies.

A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added for some fun bling. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Puddle Jumpers Card with Tammy

Hello friends! Tammy here with a fun box card, featuring the adorable set, Puddle Jumpers. 

To begin, I stamped the images from the Puddle Jumpers stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Puddle Jumpers Dies. The sun and cloud images are stamped and cut from Balloon Rides/Balloon Rides Dies.

Next, I built a basic rectangle base using yellow patterned paper from the Striped Silly 6X6 Paper I then cut the back panel from Bristol cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, and inked it using Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I attached the inked background to a white rectangle mat, cut slightly larger, then attached to the inside of the box, to create a backdrop. I die cut three grassy borders from white Bristol cardstock using the Mini Grass Border Dies, then blended them with green inks and attachd to the inside of the box.

I attached all the images from Puddle Jumpers to the box card to create a fun little scene. The raindrops were adhered to acetate strips to give the illusion of falling rain.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Puddle Jumpers in black ink onto a white, stitched banner, cut from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to the front of the box card to finish up!

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

Wicker Basket Die Focused Card with Isha
