Big Bunny Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a fun birthday card featuring the Big Bunny Stamps. I just love how this adorable bunny can be used for so many occasions!

This is an A2 card and I started with a festive multi-colored background. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4" x 5 1/2" and inked it with Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks. For stitched detailing, I die-cut the 5 1/2" edges of the panel using a Ribbon & Lace Borders Die.

Next, I die-cut balloons and streamers from white cardstock using the Bright Balloons Dies and Crepe Paper Streamers Dies. I inked them with the same Distress inks as the panel. I adhered the streamers first and trimmed the excess from the edges. For the balloon strings, I tied gray embroidery floss to each and then adhered the balloons.

I stamped the bunny and bow from the Big Bunny Stamps and the cupcake from the Holiday Hugs Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered the bunny to the bottom of the panel and added a strip of Spring Fever Paper along the bottom that I die-cut using a Ribbon & Lace Borders Die and cut to 4" long.

I cut 2 strips of black cardstock 5 1/2" long and adhered one under each side of the background panel so just a sliver of black is visible. I then adhered the panel to a white card front.

To finish, I die-cut a punny sentiment from gray and black cardstock using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies and an exclamation point from the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies. I slightly overlapped the colors to make the gray stand out a bit more. I stamped the "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" sentiment from the Puddle Jumpers Stamps on a strip of gray cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed and 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.

Truckloads of Love Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the sweet Truckloads of Love stamp and die set again. But this time we go holiday themed. I love that this set is so versatile, it can be used all year round. And how cute are the critters!!

For this festive card I selected one of the ornament dies from my stash and cut it from white Neenah paper. You can create this shape yourself with any circle die you have and a rectangle for the topper. The scalloped edge can be achieved with several dies like the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I inked the inside of the ornament with pink Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and Worn Lipstick, leaving the bottom part white. Of course, I had to add splatters too!

Since this is a winter Holiday card, I wanted to replicate a snowy, frosty look around the borders of the ornament. First, I glued the pink panel into place and added an acetate layer on top. Next, I added the white circle border with topper. I searched through my stash to find a white pigment ink, which I then applied all around the borders of the circle with a small blending brush. This also gave me an indication of how wide I wanted my frosty border to be. Next, I used a glue bottle with a fine tip and glue that dries clear. Then it was time for the fun part: adding all the sparkly glitter (I use a dedicated box for this, if not my desk is a real mess!!).

While the glue was drying, I selected my images from the Truckloads of Love stamp set. I chose the truck, the Christmas tree, and the cute raccoon. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some snowflakes with a white gel pen.

The large Merry Christmas sentiment was stamped with red ink from my stash and cut with the matching dies (Holiday Greetings stamp and die set). I mounted the images and sentiment onto the ornament shape with foam tape. The topper was cut from white glitter paper, and I added a little pink bow to make the card extra festive!

Thank you for joining me and I am wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Woolen Mitten Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here featuring the gorgeous Woolen Mitten Die set! I am a huge fan of shaped cards and I love that this mitten is big enough to add lots of details to it. Such as the festive wreath I am creating today.

I am kicking off this project by creating a white mitten card base by folding a sheet of white card stock in two and using the mitten die, making sure the top part stayed intact. Next, I cut another mitten from a beautiful snowflake paper (Joyful Holiday) and added some dimension by inking the edges with a blending brush and Distress Oxide Uncharted Mariner.

I did the same for the cuff of the mitten which I created with a polka dot paper (Joyful Holiday). A small white border (Ribbon & Lace Border dies) was added as extra embellishment. After gluing all the elements of the mitten to my shaped card base, I was ready to work on my wreath.

The smallest wreath die from Winter Wreaths was the perfect size for my base. This immediately gives you the perfect circle shape to add the branches from Winter Greenery Dies. I stacked two layers of branches in the same teal blue color as my base. I also cut three extra branches from a shiny white card stock to give some contrast with the blue mitten.

I used the smallest Poinsettia leaf die from the Woolen Mitten set and cut it from red, pink and white card stock. This creates the most adorable little flowers with a small white gem from the Pure White Jewels as a center. I added the flowers to the wreath with some foam tape and glued the whole piece onto the mitten shape. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from Feeling Frosty to a small white strip using Versafine Onyx black ink and added it to the cuff of the mitten.

I am sure you will love this beautiful mitten die as much as I do!

Pretty Pumpkins Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today’s project consists of lots of Pretty Pumpkins! This is a beautiful layering set and I love that the pumpkins come in three sizes. Loads of possibilities for your card designs!

As always, I used the printed sheet on which the stamps come as my guide for placement. For the pumpkins I went with teal, coral, and yellow colors. I used several inks from my stash to get that great dimensional look these stamps provide! The set comes with it’s own leaves but I decided to go for the Autumn Greenery dies which I inked in similar colors. To create that rustic fall look, I added lots of splatters with matching inks and white gouache.

Next, I stamped and die cut the Layered Basket onto a piece of cream paper that I had dry embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder. I took a blending brush to darken the edges of the basket. I wanted to add a scalloped strip using one of the Ribbon And Lace Border dies. This white border was perfect for my sentiment as well (Words Of Gratitude).

I created a white card base and adhered a coral gingham panel (Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die and Gingham Pastels pad). Next, I added a white border.

Then it was time to assemble the pumpkin scene starting with the basket and working my way up. I used some temporary glue so I could arrange all the elements until I was happy with the design. Lastly, I added the leaves and pumpkin in front of the basket and scattered a few Chrystal Clear Jewels over the entire scene.

Thank you for joining me and I hope you have fun creating cards with these pretty pumpkins! Happy crafting!

Scrumptious Cupcakes Cards with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I've got a deliciously sweet CAS card for you featuring the Scrumptious Cupcakes Stamps!

This is an A2 card and I started by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die. I cut a piece of aqua cardstock 3 1/2" x 5" and adhered the white frame over it on the card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Semi-Circle Die and adhered it to the center of the card front using foam dimensional tape. I stamped the cupcakes from the Scrumptious Cupcakes Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added Pure White Jewels to the frosting as little candy pieces.

To finish, I die-cut 2 pieces of kraft cardstock using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I heat embossed the "hope your day is" sentiment with white embossing powder using stamps from the Savanna Safari Stamps and cut along one edge of each piece close to the sentiment. I die-cut the "Sweet" sentiment from dark brown cardstock using the Hayley Uppercase and Hayley Lowercase Dies.

For my second A2 card and I adhered all the elements directly to the card front. First, I added 3 papers to the bottom. I die-cut 6" long strips of the brown and green papers from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones Paper using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I overlapped and adhered the green strip on the brown and adhered them 1 1/4" from the bottom edge. I trimmed them on the left and right edges of the card. I then cut a piece of red paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper 1" x 6", die-cut one edge using a die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies and adhered it even with the bottom edge of the card. I trimmed the excess from the left and right edges.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Sweet Word Die and inked it with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress inks. I adhered it above the brown paper and slightly off center. I die-cut the "friend" sentiment from white cardstock using the Loopy Letters Dies, inked the letters with Ground Espresso Distress ink and adhered them along the top of the red paper as shown. I heat embossed the "HELLO" sentiment from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps with white embossing powder on brown cardstock, fussy cut around it and adhered it above and to the left of the sweet sentiment.

To finish, I stamped the cupcakes and cherries from the Scrumptious Cupcakes Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I just love the detail in these sweet stamps!

Bright Balloons Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and this adorable little cactus is sending birthday wishes with the help of the Bright Balloons Dies!

This is a mini slimline card (card base is 6 1/4" x 6 1/2", scored on the 6 1/2" side at 3 1/4" and folded in half) and I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 3" x 6" for the card front. I placed a post-it note across the panel 1 3/4" from the bottom and inked with Lost Shadow Distress ink. I then masked the gray area and inked a sunrise stencil from my stash using Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress inks. I stamped the sentiment from the Looking Sharp Stamps 3/8" below the horizon line.

Next, I created a festive Southwestern pattern along the bottom of the panel using the Crepe Paper Streamer Dies, Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, Window Quad Square Dies (thin green strips) and the Cupcake Shape Die (pink circles). I die-cut these elements from white cardstock and inked them with Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers, Dried Marigold and Twisted Citron Distress inks. I adhered them in the pattern shown and trimmed the excess from the edges. I then adhered the panel to the card front.

For the balloons, I die-cut them from white cardstock and inked them with 2 colors of Distress ink each (Peacock Feathers/Salvaged Patina, Mowed Lawn/Twisted Citron, Spiced Marmalade/Dried Marigold and Saltwater Taffy/Spun Sugar). I backed each with white cardstock and placed a small piece of double-sided tape on the back of each balloon. I then wrapped/adhered a 5" long piece of gray embroidery floss to each balloon. I adhered the balloons starting with the ones at the top and kept the floss pulled tightly as I adhered the next balloons. To hold the floss tightly together, I applied a piece of double-sided tape where the cactus arm would cover the strings and adhered them together on the card front.

To finish, I stamped the cactus and birthday hat from the Looking Sharp Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out.
