Spring Garden Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a card featuring the Spring Garden Dies paired with elements of the Wonderful Windows Dies to create a gardening bench!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Spring Garden Die Focused Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Wonderful Windows, Dotted Diamond Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Notebook Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies)

This is an A2 card and I started with the background panel on the card front. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", inked it with Lilac and Orchid Simon Says Stamp inks and die-cut it with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I then die-cut the piece again with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to a white card front.

For the lattice, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the notebook paper die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies and then die-cut the center of it using the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. This created a frame for the lattice. (You could also just cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” in place of the notebook paper die, but I liked the slightly rounded corners that this die produces.) Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 4 1/8” and die-cut it using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die. I then adhered the frame over the lattice and adhered the combined piece to the card front 1/4" from the top of the lilac background panel. I was able to line the lattice up with the lines of the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die background, but you could also back the lattice with an inked piece of cardstock before adhering it to the card front.

For the drawer portion of the bench, I die-cut a shutter twice from white cardstock using a Wonderful Windows Dies, layered them together and adhered them slightly overlapping the bottom of the lattice using foam dimensional tape. I die-cut drawer pulls from silver cardstock using dies also found in the Wonderful Windows Dies. I used a combination of inking and Copic coloring on the Spring Garden Dies. I just love the details of these dies and the cute little gardening tools!

To finish, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die, embossed a sentiment from the Watering Can Stamps with white embossing powder and inked it with Memento Lulu Lavender ink.

Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this Savanna Safari birthday card inspired by the Bighearted Bears card I made a few weeks ago. Once in a while, I like to look back at my cards to see which design I could recreate. Well, this time, I didn't have to look too far in the past, and thought that the tall and long rectangle windows were just perfect for the giraffe and her friends!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card by Marine Simon (featuring Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies, Savanna Safari, Fabulous Flamingos)

I started off by creating the background using some dies and pattern papers. I cut the frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden pattern paper using the main die from Comic Strip Speech Bubble. I kept the frame only and attached it on a Sweater Weather turquoise pattern paper using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green pattern paper. This time I kept the inside pieces only, and used the Mini Grass Border die to cut four grass borders that I attached at the bottom of each section using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used:

• Savanna Safari: giraffe, lion, zebra, toucan

• Fabulous Flamingos: tropical leaves

• Love Birds: branch, small leaves

• Chickie Baby & Chubby Bunny: flowers

• Love Monkey: vine

When the coloring was done, I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed my "Have a wild day" greeting from Savanna Safari on a slim aqua banner I cut using a die from Notebook Photo Corners, and tucked it on the top right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again.

As always I finished my card with highlights and details using a white gel pen, and a little bit of morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts to make them shine. And that's it! 

I hope that my card will inspire you to search for inspiration among your own projects. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Farm Fresh Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, super happy to be back on the blog with this new slimline autumn card mixing and matching a lot of images from different sets to make the cutest little scene.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Farm Fresh Fall Themed Thank You Card by Marine Simon (featuring Clucky Chickens, Words Of Gratitude, Truckloads Of Fun, Happy Harvest)

I first started by stamping all the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the sets I used:

• Farm Fresh: scarecrow, farm

• Clucky Chickens: chickens, baby chicks

• Happy Harvest: pumpkins, sunflowers

• Truckloads Of Love: truck, pumpkins

• Bunnyville: grass

• Fall Kiddos: pumpkins

Next I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and used oxide inks to color it. On the upper part I created a sunset sky using mustard seed + spiced marmalade + ripe persimmon + lumberjack plaid, and on the lower part I did a muddy section using antique linen + vintage photo.

I white heat embossed my "Thanks for always being there" greeting from Words Of Gratitude on a Notebook Photo Corners kraft banner, attached it at the top right hand corner of my panel, and then stuck everything using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and that's it! Now let's go pick a couple of pumpkins, shall we, to get ready for the fall season! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Hawaiian Hibiscus Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card that has me dreaming of a tropical vacation featuring the gorgeous Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Hawaiian Hibiscus Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Summery Greenery Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Radiant Plumeria)

I started this A2 card by using a fun technique with die-cuts to create an embossed look for the background panel. While I have a bunch of embossing folders and use them all the time in crafting, I love to use this tone-on-tone technique with dies to create unique patterns. I first cut a piece of kraft cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and die-cut 10 fronds from kraft cardstock using the Summer Greenery Dies. I adhered these along the outside edges of the cardstock and then die-cut the cardstock piece with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I love the subtle tropical embossed look this gave it! I matted it on black cardstock and adhered it to a peach card front.

For my tropical scene, I cut a piece of white cardstock 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" and cut masks from post-it notes for the sand and horizon. I also punched a circle from Eclipse masking tape for the sun. The Distress inks I used are Brushed Corduroy for the sand, Dried Marigold and Speckled Egg for the ocean/sky and Scattered Straw for the sun. I stamped small palm trees in dark green ink using stamps from the Beach Babies Stamps and the Surfing Santa Stamps. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Tiki Time Stamps with black embossing powder.

Next, I die-cut a piece of black cardstock using the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die as a mat for the tropical scene and adhered the combined piece to the card front. I also die-cut a photo corner from brown cardstock using the Notebook Photo Corners Dies to give it a photo or postcard look.

To finish, I stamped the hibiscus and leaves from the Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I also heat embossed a flower from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps with white embossing powder, water colored a bit of the center with yellow ink and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.
