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!

Crisp Apples Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun card with the versatile Build-a-Bowl dies. You can fill this bowl with lots of fruits, I opted for some yummy Crisp Apples!

Instead of a normal rectangle card base, I decided to round the corners and add a fun stripe pattern (stencil from my stash and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide).

I love adding lots of layers to my card, so next I cut a panel from a blue purple paper with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. After cutting a smaller white piece of card stock with one of the Stitched Arch dies, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for extra texture.

Then it was time for my centerpiece, which consists of the pretty bowl (Build-a-Bowl dies) cut from a purple gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) and embellished with a purple border (Ribbon and Lace Borders).

I cut a bunch of apples and leaves (Crisp Apples) from white card stock. I love that you get two sizes and colored them with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers and Scorched Timber.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings set and stamped onto a white Brilliant Banner 4 with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from y stash. I stacked this banner on top of a purple one. A few Champagne Clear jewels were added for that extra sparkle.

Paris Afternoon Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this Bastille Day themed card to celebrate the French National Holiday which happens on the 14th of July each year. Of course I went with the colors of the French flag: blue, white and red, and used the perfect stamp set for the occasion: Paris Afternoon.

I started off by creating the background and used my favorite die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set, which is the strip die, to cut multiple strips out of blue, white, and red cardstock. I attached each strip in that order on a piece of scrap paper using liquid glue, and then used a 5,5 x 4,25 inches rectangle die to cut an A2 panel. To give my background more interest, I splattered white ink all over it. I mixed some prize ribbon oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to the strips with a slim brush. I did the same with lumberjack plaid oxide ink to add red splatters, and then I added sparkling droplets using liquid stardust.

Once my striped panel was totally dry, I stuck it to a white card base, cut a Comic Strip Everyday Dies frame panel out of light blue cardstock and attached that panel to my card using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything using a blue, white and red color palette for the parasol, balloons and macarons, but also green for the trees at the feet of the Eiffel tower and neutrals for the critters. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs, Eiffel tower, street lamps, bottle of wine, glasses of wine, cheese, baguette, croissant, macarons, berets • Critters On The Go - bear, bunny, fox, scooter, small trees • Charming City - larger trees • Plane Awesome - clouds • Party Pets - balloons.

I added highlights and details to my images using a white gel pen, stamped "Bonjour" from Paris Afternoon in black directly on the strips, and finally attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And voilà! The card is all done and I had so much fun creating it with the French colors! I hope that you like it! Thanks so much for stopping, and see you next week.
