Background Basics Puppy Themed Birthday Tags with Franci

Hello there! Franci here with you today with 2 little birthday tags. I was inspired by the new Background Basics set to create a simple tag design. I thought these backgrounds would pop up nicely with a clean look and white cardstock. 

First, I created the two tags using the Tag Topper dies and the Ric Rac Border dies. Then I stamped my favorite dog from the Party Pups set twice, colored them with Copics and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the background stripes with Spice Marmalade and Broken China Distress Oxide inks and let them dry.

I also stamped the sentiment from the Party Pups set and glued down the dogs with foam tape. Finally, I added some ribbon and twine.

Hope you like them and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Ric Rac Borders Birthday Wishes Card with Eloise

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a birthday card to share with you all using Ric Rac Borders, Birthday Balloon and the Wishes Word Die.

To begin my card today, I first cut ten borders from Ric Rac Borders out of five colours of cardstock. I used a green, yellow, orange, pink and purple. Once they were all cut out I adhered them in a pattern diagonally onto a white card base with some liquid glue. Next, I pulled the Birthday Balloon stamp set out, and stamped and layered up a blue balloon. I used a dark blue since I feel like it matches my colour scheme better. Once that was stamped, I also stamped a string and cut them out using the coordinating dies and my scissors for the string. I set them aside and worked on my sentiment.

For my sentiment, I cut the Wishes Word Die from some navy blue and black cardstock. I then used liquid glue to layer them up to seem like there was a shadow behind the word. I added foam tape onto the back and adhered it down onto my card base. I then added foam tape to the balloon as well as the string and adhered those down also. I made it seem like the balloon was floating off the 'wishes' word. Last step was to finish off my sentiment, I used the Team Player stamp set and white heat embossed 'birthday' onto a strip of black cardstock, I then adhered that down and adhered it above the 'wishes' word also.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you all next time.

Ric Rac Borders Ombre Shaker Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here today with a look at the Ric Rac Borders dies. I love how this set includes three very different shapes of ric rac and multiple sizes. The minute I saw it, I wanted to create something with a bold design punch!

I started by ink blending a strip of white cardstock with Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral. Then I used the largest Ric Rac Border die repeatedly to create a beautiful ombre range. 

Next, a small shaker box was created with the Fancy Frames Circles dies. The kitty is from the Purrfect Birthday stamp set and was colored with Copic markers. Last, a sentiment from the same set was stamped in black ink.

The Ric Rac Border dies adds a pop of bold color and design to this birthday greeting. The tiny stitching detail adds a warm touch of handmade goodness!

Ric Rac Border Dies Pretty Ballerina Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card that highlighting Ric Rac Border Dies. It's a super versatile dies that can go with everything all year along. I pair it with Tiny Dancers Stamp and the coordinating dies.

I stamped the tiny ballerinas with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. With their pink tutus, I add some sparkling glitter with Stickles. I use the Ric Rac Border as the background with beige and soft pink polka dot patterned paper. To make the ballerinas pop more, I die cut some pink circles and adhered them behind each of the ballerinas. Aren't they the prettiest? 

The sentiment is super cute and perfect for an encouraging card. I also add a lot of yellow dots with Nuvo Drops. It adds dimensions to my card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Bold Balloons Birthday Balloon Bouquet Card with Franci

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a birthday themed card! Who doesn't love these balloons from the new Bold Balloons stamp set? The first time that I saw them I was thinking, "omg they are real.. for real!". Ha! The layering effect is amazing and they are super simple to center and align. 

For my card, I created a card base out of some white cardstock and rounded the top corners. I stamped all of the balloons and die cut them with their coordinating dies. I also freehand cut a cloudy shape out of some copy paper to create my own stencil for the sky. I sponged some distress ink to create my cloudy background and let it dry.

I stamped all of the balloons strings and glued all the balloons down with liquid glue and foam adhesive to give them even more dimension. I cut out a strip of white cardstock for the bottom of my card and die cut the little border at the top with one of the borders from the new Ric Rac Borders set. I stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed it in silver.

Finally, I glued my strip down with foam adhesive and stamped all of the little confetti with colorful inks under the balloons to give my card an even more festive look! Hope you like it! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Ric Rac Borders Banner Filled Birthday Card with Vanessa

Hello there! Vanessa here today with a birthday card using the Ric Rac Border Dies and Birthday Balloon.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and inked the bottom part with aqua ink. Then I applied ink droplets and let it dry. I wanted to die-cut the ric rac from washi tape, so I adhered the washi tape to a piece of baking parchment, die-cut the border and was able to remove the washi easily to put it onto the card.

Now I stamped the balloon, die-cut it with the coordinating die, drew a string and adhered the balloon to the card with foam tape. After I had stamped the sentiment, I added matching sequins.

The new birthday sets and the fun Ric Rac Border dies are perfect to create happy cards, don't you agree? Thank you for stopping by, see you next week!

Inspiration Week: Breakfast Puns & Cascading Hearts Background

Hello there!  I'm so excited to kick off our official inspiration week all this week leading up to our new release on January 12th!  Today I'm showcasing our new Breakfast Puns 4x6 Stamps & Dies and a new Cascading Hearts 3x4 background stamp set.

Card No. 1:  For this first card I wanted to showcase as many of the stamps from the new set as possible so I created a border with the breakfast images.  For my background I sponged on some tumbled glass distress ink and then stamped a faint heart pattern using the new Cascading Hearts background stamp.  My sentiment ended up a bit higher than I had envisioned so to help bridge the distance I stamped the outlined hearts using some of the companion images from the Breakfast Puns set.

Card No. 2:  This set comes with a pair of arms and legs to add to any of the little breakfast foods making adorable happy couples.  The fun punny sentiments in this set make it a perfect choice for Valentine Day cards, but they aren't holiday specific also making them work for all year 'round.  For my die-cut hearts I used a freebie that will automatically come with all orders placed after January 12th (see more details below).  I die-cut them from red glitter paper and then coated them with glossy accents making my own homemade epoxy embellishments.

Card No. 3: For this card I stamped the cascading hearts on my background before using the sparkle shimmer spritz to add a light sparkle over the top.  The scalloped die-cut frames are from a new die set that will be showcased tomorrow.  ;)  I heat embossed my sentiment using Versamark ink with white embossing powder and adhered it to the back of the smaller frame before popping them up with foam tap in the center of my card.  I was able to hide more foam tape under the images for additional support. I added glossy accents to the donut glaze and coffee portion of the latte cup for a touch of realism. 

Card No. 4:  I just love this butter sentiment so this time I colored my toast to look like it was buttered and added two little butter slices to my waffle, strategically placed to cover the face on the waffle.  For my strawberries I added white seeds using a Sharpie White Paint Marker to match my polka-dot patterned paper.  I grounded my little scene using our Stitched Heart dies and heat embossed my sentiment with white powder on a strip of black cardstock that was die-cut with our Fishtail Banner dies.

Card No. 5:  For this card I colored a trio of the donut image with my Copic Markers and then added shiny highlights with that same Sharpie White Paint Marker.  To stamp my donuts with perfect spacing, I used my ruler to find the center and stamped my center donut directly on my card background and then stamp each donut friend approximately 3/8" from each side.  I then stamped all the arms and legs and added my colored donut images over the top.  This allowed me to hide any mistakes I might have made in stamping the arms and legs just right.  I finished by adding a little shadow below each donut with Colorbox Cloud ink using Paper Smooches Shadow Stamps.

Card No. 6: As many of our loyal customers know we have a special freebie with each new release that is automatically included with orders (no codes needed).  The spring freebie is a mini heart trio die perfect for shaker cards and small embellishments.

For this card I stamped my card front with the cascading hearts stamp, heat embossed with white embossing powder and then watercolored over the top for a resist technique.  I then die-cut a heart from the center using our Stitched Heart dies and stamped my sentiment on my card base before sandwiching some heart die-cuts in-between for a little shaker card.  I colored my slices of toast to look like Peanut Butter and Jelly for another fun way to use the sentiment "We Go Together Like.."

These are just a few of the many ways the Cascading Heart stamps can be repeated to create fun backgrounds. The set measures 3x4 making it easy to quickly stamp a couple times to create a horizontal background.  There are also 2 separate small hearts in the set that help continue the pattern for vertical cards as well.

I'm so excited you've joined me for today's sneak peek and I'd love to give a $25 gift code to one lucky winner.  Make sure to keep checking back all this week for more peeks & prizes for up to five chances to win.  The contests run through Saturday at Midnight PST with winners announced here on Sunday, January 14th. :)
