Party Pets Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I'm super excited to share a fresh slice of summer inspiration featuring the absolutely adorable Party Pets Stamp! Let's dive right into the details!

​I started by stamping the sleeping cat from the Party Pets Stamp onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Right after that, I die-cut three watermelons from white cardstock using the Juicy Watermelon Dies. ​To bring them all to life, I reached for my favorite Copic markers and gave them some bright, juicy colors. Once I finished blending everything, I used the matching Party Pets Dies to cut out the sweet kitty beautifully.

​COPIC COLORS USED:
Cat: E30, E31, E35, E39, E41, R30
Watermelons: G19, R30, R35, R43, YG03, YG17, YG63, W7

For the background panel, I wanted to create a fun, colorful foundation. I used the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies to give the bottom of my white cardstock a lovely scalloped edge, and then I softly ink-blended it using Saltwater Taffy and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks to mimic those perfect watermelon tones.

​Next came the bold sentiment. I die-cut the word 'MELON' three times using the Sydney Alphabet Dies and layered them together with glue because I absolutely love the extra dimension it adds.

​When it was finally time to assemble the card, I popped the background, the stacked word, the watermelons, and our sleepy little kitten into place using foam tape. That little bit of lift really makes the whole playful scene pop!

​That wraps up today’s project! I really hope this bright summer greeting brings a smile to your face and sparks your creativity. Wishing you all a wonderful day of crafting!

Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Die Focused Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with a fun birthday card featuring the beautiful Frilly Frames Quatrefoil dies. For this project I used both the inner and the outer die of the set when I cut my piece from white card stock.

I really wanted to showcase the beautiful pattern this die creates by adding a contrasting teal dotted background paper (Polka-Dot Parade). To preserve as much as I could from this panel, I opted for one larger focal point by incorporating my favourite critter Big Bunny! I also love that the dies allow for the bunny’s arms to open wide to hold a birthday present (Party Pets). I kept the Copic coloring neutral so the images would stand out against the pretty background. 

Since our bunny is going to a celebration, he also needed a party hat, cut from the same teal paper as before with dies from the Treat Bag Topper set. The Happy Birthday sentiment from Party Pets comes with its matching die and I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To make this card extra festive I added two white borders on the bottom of the design (Ribbon & Lace Borders), before mounting the bunny with foam tape. I used thin foam strips to adhere the sentiment to the card. Lastly, I sprinkled a few Iridescent Jewels as a blingy touch.

I absolutely love these beautiful Frilly Frames Quatrefoil dies and I hope you got inspired by this design! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Ribbon & Lace Border Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello all, Yan here!  Sometimes the simplest ideas can create the most fun results, especially when you start playing around with border dies.

For today’s project, I’m using the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies to create a custom background, paired with the adorable Party Pets Stamp set for a sweet focal point.

First, I die cut the straight stitched border die from several different colours of cardstock. Instead of using them individually, I mixed and arranged the strips like a little puzzle, then secured everything with double-sided tape. This is such an easy technique, but it instantly creates a bold and playful background—and the best part is that every combination looks a little different.

Next, I stamped the cute cat and balloon from the Party Pets Stamp set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock, coloured them with Copic markers, and cut them out using the Party Pets Dies.

COPIC COLOR:
Cat: E41, E43, R30
Balloon: B000, B12, R30, RV10, RV11, Y02, Y11

For the sentiment, I used the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies together with a greeting from the Party Pets Stamp set. This adds a soft focal layer that balances the busy background nicely. To finish, I adhered everything with foam tape for extra dimension.

This is one of those projects where the supplies really do the work for you—the border dies make it so easy to create something that looks detailed and layered, even with a very simple process. I love how many different backgrounds you can create just by changing colours and placement.

Hope this inspires you to try mixing your border die cuts in a new way!

Loopy Rectangles Frame Die Focused Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and this time I made a sweet Easter card for you! The base of my design was the amazing Loopy Rectangles die set.

I used the largest die and cut it from white card stock. To keep the inner and the outer piece together I used Press ‘N Seal and that worked so well for me. 

For Easter, I love to use softer pastel colors, hence the light yellow card base. With the Press ‘N Seal over both die cuts, I added liquid glue to the back of the pieces, flipped them around and glued them to my card base. After browsing through my stash I discovered that one of the larger Rounded Rectangle Mat dies was the perfect fit for this design. I love to mix and match sets and get the most out of my products.

For this panel I selected a blue dotted paper from the Polka-dot Parade pack. While I had the die out, I made two extra layers, one from white card stock and one from the same yellow paper as my base. I trimmed both pieces to size and added a sweet border to the white panel (Ribbon & Lace Borders). 

But the star of the show is one of my all-time favourites, the sweetest bunny ever (Big Bunny)! I have used this set many times but this cutie always makes me smile! I colored her in soft grey Copic colors, with yellow and pink accents for the bow and letter. I have to mention that I masked of the little heart that is on the letter stamp so I could add the ‘Easter’ part of my greeting (Big Bunny).

The rest of the sentiment was stamped and die cut to fit the white border. I did stack this piece three times to get the chipboard effect. After mounting the adorable bunny with foam tape, I sprinkled a few Champagne Clear Jewels to finish this card. I love how the Loopy Rectangles add to the playfulness of this card! 

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this fun holiday card featuring the cute Roly Poly Penguins in a red, black and white color palette. How nice it was to color those sweet penguins again!

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of a Joyful Holiday snowflake pattern paper, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. Next I cut a Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of an All Is Bright red & white stripe pattern paper, and attached it to my snowflake panel using 1mm foam squares. I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble panel out of white cardstock, kept three of the inside pieces, turned them into snow borders using a Ribbon & Lace Borders die, added sparkling splatters to those pieces, and then stuck them to my panel using 1mm foam squares again.

On the top right hand square section, I stamped "It's penguining to look a lot like Christmas" from Penguin Pals. First, I white heat embossed "penguining" in the center of the square, and then stamped "it's" and "to look a lot like Christmas" in black. Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. The penguins are from Roly Poly Penguins, and the snowflakes are from Holiday Hugs.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, attached everything to my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and finally stuck my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this bright and cheerful card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Elegant Leaves Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing my first autumnal card of the season! As we are slowly transitioning into those cozy Fall vibes, I just love the rich vibrant colors nature brings us. As most crafters I am always in need of birthday cards, and I struggle with male cards. So, I came up with this fun design, perfect for those Autumn birthdays!

After creating a white card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die. Next, I selected two scraps of white card stock and ran them both through the machine with the same die.

The large white scalloped panel got further embellished with the inner die of the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. I love how all these ‘Frilly’ dies can be combined to create endless new designs! I kept all the inner pieces in place with a sheet of Press ‘n Seal (a great item to have in your stash!) and glued the panel to the card base.

The other two white scalloped scrap pieces were turned into nice borders by using one of the Ribbon & Lace Border dies. To create more contrast, I colored them both in a teal color with the ink to paper technique (just pull the ink pad across the paper a few times). I love how this not only gave the borders a nice color but also a kind of velvety look! Next, I glued both pieces to the top and bottom of the white embossed panel.

I then stamped a beautiful leave (Elegant Leaves) in four Fall colors and used the matching die to cut them out. Together they create a beautiful wreath, I added a white circle on top (Stitched Circles Large) with a sentiment from the Party Pets set. To complete the design, I glued a few Pure White Jewels across the wreath.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
