Bountiful Autumn Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with this new autumn themed card showcasing the lovely Bountiful Autumn stamp set. I've had this set in my stash for years but for some reason I never used it, so it was finally time to fix that.

As very often I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers. And it almost never happens: I only used images from Bountiful Autumn on this card!

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I created the background. I cut a rounded panel out of a leafy green paper from the Sweater Weather paper pack using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, mixed some peeled paint distress ink with water and added green splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones turquoise panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my gingham panel into a frame. I added white splatters to that frame, and once dry, I attached it to my leafy green panel using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "Thankful" from Bountiful Autumn, stamped "For your kindness" on some light aqua cardstock using another stamp from the same set, cut it with the matching die, attached it below "Thankful" using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all my cute images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I attached my rounded panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light aqua panel using foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this sweet and colorful autumn themed card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Squirrel Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with the extra cute Squirrel Friends, all gathered to pick acorns and have fun in the woods.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Squirrel Friends - squirrels, acorns, stump • Little Birdie - branches • Silly Sloths - leaves • Bunnyville - grass.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I moved on to the background. I cut a rounded panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and created a bright background using stencils from my stash along with distress inks: a grass border using peeled paint distress ink, and a cloudy sky using scattered straw and fossilized amber distress ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my brown gingham panel into a rounded frame. I attached that frame to my cloudy panel using 1mm foam squares, stamped "You're a little nutty & I love it!" from Squirrel Friends, and then attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I stuck my rounded scene to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel, and then to a brown card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely and warm autumn card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Plane Awesome Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this 4th of July themed shaker card featuring a mix and match of images from multiple stamp sets. I may not be an American citizen, but 4th of July cards have always been extra fun to create because you don't get to use this red, white and blue color palette on many cards.

So, as very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110 Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. And as always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Plane Awesome - plane, banner, clouds, pilot • Spring Showers - kids • Truckloads Of Love - flags • Bunnyville - tulips, grass • Scenic Route - houses • Spring Scenes - trees.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Next, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of a Surprise Party starry blue paper, I darkened the edges using chipped sapphire distress ink, mixed some of that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to the panel, mostly on the edges, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

While my starry blue panel was drying, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created a very simple sky all over it using a cloudy stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and salty ocean oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel, dried it with a paper towel, mixed some salty ocean oxide ink, prize ribbon oxide ink and candied apple oxide ink with water and used my slim brush again to add blue and red splatters to my cloudy background. I added white splatters as well, and once my panel was dry, I attached the Scenic Route houses at the bottom using liquid glue.

Once my starry blue panel was dry, I cut a large opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die, leaving me with a starry blue frame. I attached this frame to a piece of acetate using liquid glue, I flipped my panel over and added foam strips all along the rounded window and along the very edges of my panel as well, I poured some Americana confetti on the acetate, peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and then attached my cloudy panel to those strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I white heat embossed "Let your dreams soar" from Plane Awesome on the banner, and finally attached all the images to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this new mix & match, it was really fun to put this little scene together. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week with a trio of 4th of July tags!

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and in today’s fun Easter card I am using two sizes of the versatile Rounded Rectangle Window dies. As the name suggests these dies help you to create lots of different designs! I opted for two scenic windows using the sweet images from Clucky Chickens.

To start, I die cut a panel from blue striped paper (Striped Silly) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Then I played around with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Window dies. I knew I wanted to use the big hen house and the scripty Happy Easter (Chickie Baby), so that was decisive in my choice of dies. After creating the two windows, I glued the striped panel to a white card base. With the dies still on my desk, I ran them again through the machine, this time using white card stock. These pieces are the backing for my scenes.

I took my Copic swatch chart to find a blue marker that was approximately the same tone as the lighter stripe of the paper. Now, I was able to draw a little hill on both panels to ground the images. For extra texture I dotted the sky parts of these pieces with the same marker.

After selecting my images from Clucky Chickens and Chickie Baby, I did all the coloring with  Copic markers. White gel pen details made the images pop even more.

Since I kept the inlay panels flat, it was easy to stamp the large sentiment from Chickie Baby in a brown ink from my stash. I glued both background panels in place and mounted the images with foam tape to the card. Adding a few Champagne Clear Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
