Designer's Choice Cards with Gladys and Alma

Hi friends, this is Gladys! It has been super hot here and for me sunflowers gives me summer vibes. For my card today I used the Watering Can stamp set and combined it with the Sunflower Fields layering stamps.

I started by die cutting a light blue cardstock measured 4" x 5.25". I used Pinkfresh Studio inks to add color and depth. The colors I used were summer shower, seaside, and storm. To add interest I splattered some Gansai Tambi watercolors using a small paint brush. 

Next I stamped the sunflowers and watering can using more Pinkfresh Studio inks:
Sunflowers: Lemon Whip, Sunshine, Mustard, Marigold, Apricot, Clementine
Leaves: Mint, Meadow, Emerald City
Watering can: Seaside, Storm

I adhered all the elements on a Frilly Frame Lattice frame, cut from white cardstock. To complete my card, I used the Hello Word die cut multiple times and stacked together for dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week!

Hello, this is Alma and today I'm showing you two shaker tags that would simply enhance any summer gift.

First I punched my tag base with the Scalloped Circle Mat I Dies and coloured it with the Distress Oxide Inks "Moved Lawn", "Peacock Feathers" and "Mermaid Lagoon" as well as "Blueprint Sketch". For special water  effects I sprinkled the backgrounds with water and set highlights with the white gel pen.

Then I cut out the frames of the Scalloped Circle Mat I Dies from white cardstock. Therefore

I used the Stitched Circle Large Dies. To make a shaker tag out of it I cut out the frames 6 times each. I glued five of these frames to the background and filled in the sequins. I mixed the Peridot Green Jewels with the Blue Topaz Jewels and the Iridescent Jewels. Then I stuck the foil on and fixed the last frame on it.

Now I stamped and coloured the cute otters from the My Otter Half Stamps Set and cut them out with the My Otter Half Dies. I glued the otters on top and finally cut the text from the My Otter Half Dies in turquoise and white and glued them together to get some depth.

Heart Bouquet Cards with Anja and Marine

Hello everyone, Anja here with you today. Haven't created a fun one layer card for ages, so I combined the new Heart Bouquet Stamps with the Bear Hugs set.

First, I started off with a top folding A2 card base made from white heavyweight cardstock. I stamped the polar bear in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a white cardstock panel and also created a mask for him. Next, I stamped the heart ballons and ice block. I created some masks for these images as well to cover them while I work on my background.

I masked off the bottom third, to blend the Distress Oxide Inks Dusty Concord, Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose together for the sky. I splattered on some ink with a small paint brush. After it was dry, I covered the background and applied Salvaged Patina ink for the water. I also stamped some waves which are included in the My Otter Half set.

It's always a magical moment when you peel off the masks. Now, I colored the images with Copic Markers. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in white. Finally, I cut out my scene with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back with this new edge to edge mini slimline shaker card featuring the lovely Heart Bouquet. I've created a hot air balloon using Balloon Rides, and also picked the bunny from that stamp set to create a cute bunny couple.

To begin, I stamped the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers. I stamped the balloon bouquet three times to get a big balloon bouquet, and I went with traditional valentine colors: red, pink and white.

Next I created the background. I cut a 5-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches bristol panel that I covered with spun sugar distress ink. I used a cloud stencil along with worn lipstick distress ink to create a pretty pink cloudy sky. And I also added some texture to that cloudy sky: water droplets + a mix of worn lipstick and water + a mix of copic opaque white ink and water.

I took a plastic packaging from my stash and cut the four edges off to get two plastic sheets. I kept one of those, and added double sided tape on the four edges. I placed my cloudy panel right in the center of that plastic sheet and cut the four corners off. I attached the bottom tab at the back of the panel and did the same thing with the long sides. Through the last open side, I poured some heart droplets and tiny heart confetti inside the pocket. And then I attached the last tab at the back of the panel to finally close it.

I cut the word "Soar" out of red cardstock and out of white cardstock using the Chloe Alphabet die set. I stuck the white letters at the back of the red ones to create an outline. I also white heat embossed the phrase "You make my heart" from Balloon Rides on a light pink cardstock. And I cut a 6 x 3 inches white card base.

I attached the shaker panel on the card base, and then stuck the letters at the bottom and the small banner at the top using liquid glue. I added white dots and details on the images, attached them on the pocket using glue dots, and finally I applied a coat of glossy accents on each letter.

And that's it, we have a super cute, super shiny and super romantic shaker card that I think would also look fantastic with blue shades or even rainbow colors. Feel welcome to watch the process video (click on the image above) to see how easy it is to create an edge to edge shaker card. It was my last card for 2021, so I wish you a happy new year, and I will see you in January!

Icing Border Die Focused Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hi friends! It’s Ashley with a card featuring the new Icing Border dies! These dies go perfectly with the Sunny Studio gingerbread products, but they are super versatile and can be used for so many other cards too! When I saw them, I thought they would make cool waves for one of my favorite critters - the otters!

I started by blending Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire onto light aqua cardstock. I used one of the Icing Border dies several times to make some ombré waves. I glued the waves to white cardstock then cut the whole piece with the largest Stitched Rectangle die to add some detail to the edges. I added this to a dark blue card base to enhance the watery feel.

I cut a small oval using the Stitched Oval 2 dies from more light aqua cardstock and blended the same Distress Oxides onto it as before to make a nice backdrop for my otters. I added the oval to the card with foam tape for dimension. I stamped the otters from My Otter Half with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics before cutting them out with the matching dies and adding them to the card. I die cut the "hugs" sentiment from Scalloped Oval Mat 3 three times from the same dark blue cardstock as my base and layered them up for a dimensional sentiment. I finished the card with a few clear jewels for some sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello everyone, Mayra here. Happy Monday. I am sharing this card with you today using the super cute Icing Border dies set. 

I began by die-cutting the layers for the gingerbread house using the Gingerbread House die set. Next, I used the largest of the rectangles from the Stitched Rectangles die set to die-cut the base panel. I then used the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die to die-cut the design into the base panel. I then used the larger and medium sized dies from the Stitched Rectangles set to create the red frame. 

Next, I used the poinsettia from the Window Quad Circle die set to die-cut the poinsettias for the card. I then used the tag from the Window Quad Square die set to die-cut the tag for the sentiment. The sentiment is from the adorable Christmas Cookies stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for stopping by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Slimline Pennant Die Focused Cards by Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the versatile Slimline Pennant Dies which can be used in many ways and of course they work with A2 standard size cards as well. I adore the Balloon Rides Stamps and added patterned papers to the background.

First, I cut out the diamonds pattern from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper pack with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set and adhered it to my A2 top-folding card base.

The cloudy paper (Summer Splash Paper) was die cut with the second largest pennant. To create a reverse banner I additionally used one of the Fishtail Banner Dies and cut off the top from the green floral pennant (Spring Fling Paper).

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The sentiment from the Lovable Llama set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed in white. Finally, I assembled my card by adhering all elements with liquid glue and foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have an amazing day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a cute shaped card using the Slimline Pennant Dies. 

I first created the card base from two large pennants. Now I die-cut the smaller pennant, stamped the otters, masked them and inked the background with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink. Then I die-cut the border from Slimline Nature Borders Dies from scrap paper and used this as a stencil to create waves with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. 

Supplies used:
Slimline Pennant Dies
Slimline Nature Borders Dies
My Otter Half Stamps + Dies

After I had added water droplets and details with a white gel pen, I colored the images with Copic markers and adhered the panel to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto vellum, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, die-cut the small pennant from it and adhered it. Then I die-cut the "otter" from blue cardstock and added it to the pennant.

This dies set is fantastic! Love what you can make with it. Have a lovely day!
