Paris Afternoon & Wonderful Windows Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some Parisian-themed spring and  summer cards showcasing our Paris Afternoon Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Paris Afternoon Stamps, I heat-embossed the Eiffel Tower from the set using Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder. To set my scene around the tower, I used the park border from the Spring Scenes Stamps, coloring one of the "hills" to become the Seine River. I added the extra trees, flowers, and butterflies from that same set, as well as the bike, the poodle on the park bench, and the "bonjour" greeting from the Paris Afternoon set. I had initially colored this bicycle a couple of years ago with flowers in the basket that didn't match my scene as well as I might have liked, so I remedied that by layering some other loose flowers over the top. Lastly, I added three die-cut clouds with a pink glow along the bottom from the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies.

For my second Parisian-themed card featuring the Paris Afternoon Stamps, I wanted to build a scene using the latte, croissant, and macarons from the set. I thought it would be fun to create the look of an indoor cafe table with a window overlooking the Eiffel Tower. I started by adding a moody black tone-on-tone striped "wallpaper" using the Sleek Stripes Paper as my backdrop. I wanted something neutral that wouldn't compete with the other images and would make them pop, but sadly, I found it challenging to photograph adequately to capture all the details that are easy to spot in person. I chose to use black cardstock for my window frame and shutters using the Wonderful Window Dies. I did not include the interior window panes from this set to give a maximum view of the Eiffel Tower. I then added some clouds to the view using the Comic Strip Everyday Dies and added the small trees near the base from the Charming City Stamps.

Inside my cafe, I added a round table with a tablecloth by cutting a piece of white cardstock using the stitched hillside die from our Slimline Nature Border Dies. I wanted to stack the macarons onto a plate, but quickly realized we don't have any plates to match this scale. However, I was delighted to discover I could simply stamp extras of the cup and saucer and trim off the cup portion to hide where the cup had been with the croissant and macarons. I completed my card by stamping the "Enjoy life's simple pleasures" sentiment from the City Streets Stamps onto the Brilliant Banner 4 Die, which had been cut from a blue polka-dot print from the Polka-dot Parade Paper pack.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending a card to a loved one today. 💛

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!
