Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with you with a spring theme cute card featuring the new Gift Card Envelope die. I made this for a friend in France and the older Paris Afternoon stamp was a great help :)

I started by creating the sky. Simply sponge kitsch flamingo ink through the cloud stencil. Next I die-cut grass from both the Mini Grass Border dies, spong them with mowed lawn oxide inks.  Adhere to the cloud panel and die-cut using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil die.

Die-cut the envelope using vellum, flowers from the Gift Card Envelope die. Adhere behind the grassy hill. Stamp the Eiffel Tower from the Paris Afternoon stamp, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the bear from the Bighearted Bears stamp set, color using copic and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sun from the Garden Critters stamp set, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut the rectangle from the Mini Mat and Tag 3 dies, sponge ink and stamp the word Merci. Stamp the rest of the sentiment from the Lovey Dovey stamp, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Assemble everything together. To finish, add color to the flowers using copic markers, add sparkle crystal to the center. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Dashing Dachshund Holiday Tags with Bobbi

Hello crafters! It’s Bobbi here, dachshund through the snow with two tags for the holidays. I am using that cute dachshund from the Dashing Dachshund stamps and coordinating dies.

I used the Mini Mat & Tag 2 dies for the tag base and tag front. I stamped the dog and dog outfit on 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I cut the tag from a blue plaid paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad. I added a snow hill by hand cutting a piece of white cardstock and attached it to the bottom of the tag.

I stamped two sets of the presents using the Truckloads of Love stamps and coordinating dies and colored them with Copic colors. I attached it as a bottom border. I added the dog to the tag using foam tabs to make him stand out.  I added the sentiment from the dog set and added some snowflakes using a white gel pen to complete this tag.

For my second tag, I used the Mini Mat & Tag 3 dies and more pattern paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad. I added the strings of lights using a stamp and die from the Scenic Route Stamps and coordinating dies. I attached the dog with foam dots to make him stand out. I always stamp a to/from on the back side of my tags, too.

Merry Mocha Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends! Happy Thanksgiving! Marine here, super happy to be back on the blog with this set of see-through shaker tags showcasing the adorable Merry Mocha mini stamp set. I love making tags throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season, and I thought this cup of mocha was the perfect size for tags. And what's better than gingerbread cookies to go with this delicious hot beverage?

To give my tags some kind of a vintage look, I stamped my images on a light kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my alcohol markers, except for the white sections that I colored using a white colored pencil. So, along with the Merry Mocha cups, I stamped the gingerbread couple from Christmas Cookies, as well as the one from Baking Spirits Bright and the candy canes from that same set.

Next I worked on the tags. I started off by cutting six tag shapes out of a dark kraft cardstock using a die from Mini Mat & Tag 3, cut an opening inside each tag panel using another die from the same set, and then attached a piece of acetate at the back of each tag. I set three of those tags aside, and at the back of the three other tags, I attached foam strips all along the opening to create room for my shaker material. I added polymer clay candy cane slices inside that space, as well as clear glitter, and used the three tags I had put aside to close the three others.

I attached a cup of Merry Mocha, candy canes and a gingerbread cookie on each tag using 1mm foam squares, I also created three identical greetings using the "Eat Drink and Be Merry" sentiment from Merry Mocha. I white heat embossed three greetings on brown cardstock, and used the matching die to cut them. Next I cut three small tags out of the same light kraft cardstock as the images using a die from Wrap Around Box, and I stuck a greeting on each small tag using 1mm foam squares again.

To finish my tags, I tied each small tag to a bigger one using white thread, and I created three red bows that I stuck at the top of each tag using 3mm glue dots. And for once I didn't feel that it needed white highlights, maybe because I colored on kraft cardstock, who knows? 

I hope that you will be inspired by those cute and festive see-through shaker tags! Thank you so much for stopping by, happy Thanksgiving, and see you next week!

Feliz Navidad Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this new trio of mini holiday cards showcasing a mix and match of images from different sets (listed down below), as well as the Feliz Navidad stamp set.

As you can see I went for a non-traditional color palette, and was actually inspired by Critter Country pattern papers to build and color my three Christmas cards. And speaking of which, I started off by cutting all my papers:

- three stripe panels using the second rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles

- three polka dot panels using a die from Mini Mat & Tag 4

- three gingham green panels using the same die from Mini Mat & Tag 4 again, and from each of those panels, I cut three wavy borders using a die from my stash

- three vellum panels using the smallest rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles

I white heat embossed a greeting on each gingham green wavy border: the words "Hoping your... is" and "on point" from Looking Sharp, and the word "holiday" from Santa Claus Lane, in order to read "Hoping your holiday is on point".

I followed the same order to layer my panels and used liquid glue to attach them on top of each other: a stripe panel on a card base, next a polka dot panel on top, then a vellum panel (I put the glue only at the bottom of it), and finally a gingham green wavy border. I set my card bases aside, and moved on to the stamping.

I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. And as I was saying, I followed the same color palette as the pattern papers to color my images. Here is a detailed list of the sets I used:

- Lovable Llama: llamas, presents
- Looking Sharp: cactus
- Scene Route: lights
- Reindeer Games: hats
- North Pole: nice list
- Penguin Pals: candy canes
- Garden Critters: grass
- Merry Mice: scarves

Once everything was colored, I attached the images on my panels: the lights and cactus using liquid glue, and the others using 1mm foam squares. Next I white heat embossed three Feliz Navidad greetings on black cardstock, used the matching die to cut all three, and then attached them on my cards using 1mm foam squares again. And as always I finished my cards by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope you like those three non traditional but yet super adorable and fun mini Christmas cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Bells & Baubles Tags with Bobbi

Hi there, Bobbi here with you! I’m sharing some tags featuring the new Bells & Baubles stamps and coordinating dies. This stamp set is a multi-layering set allowing you to achieve incredible dimension without coloring/shading or highlighting. 

The stamps are designed to do the work for you! All you need to do is stamp in the order of the key on the packaging and use color shades that work together (i.e., three inks that go light-to-dark in one color family).

I made this tag using three shades of gold for the bells. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber and Brushed Corduroy. I embossed the evergreens in a beautiful shimmery silver embossing powder. The sparkle is really pretty. I attached the evergreens to a black tag using a foam dot. I tucked the two bells underneath the evergreens. I stamped the sentiment in black on white and cut the words. I glued them to the top of the evergreens to finish the tag. The tag is from the Mini Mat and Tag 3 dies.

Using the Mini Mat & Tag 4 dies, I cut another black tag for this next tag. I stamped the ornament using three Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries and Aged Mahogany. I added gold dots using my gold gel pen. I stamped the bow using the same inks. I embossed the evergreens in white and attached them at the top with a foam dot. I splattered the tag with white paint to finish it.

For my last tag, I flipped the gold and silver and made the bells silver and the evergreens in gold. I used gem stickers in gold for the bells’ clappers. Gem stickers in red were added for berries on the evergreens.
