Fabulous Flamingos Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be sharing with you this lovely scene featuring three Fabulous Flamingos having a quiet moment in a pond, with dragonflies and flies buzzing around.

I started off by cutting a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a simple cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to my cloudy sky using a slim brush, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, and then added highlights and details using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Fabulous Flamingos - flamingos • Country Scenes - pond, cattails, small water lilies • Froggy Friends - cattails, flies, large water lily • Feeling Froggy - dragonflies • Seasonal Trees - trees.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, trimmed the bottom of my pond image from Country Scenes using the same Rounded Rectangle Mat die as the one I used to make the cloudy background, and then attached everything to my cloudy panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I first cut two banner pieces out of light pink cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1 dies. I white heat embossed "For my flamazing friend" on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the whole banner to my panel using foam squares again. "For my" and "Friends" are from Little Birdie, and "Flamazing" is from Fabulous Flamingos. Finally, I attached my panel to a white card base, and added white blizzard nuvo drops to the dragonflies wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! I wonder what those cute flamingos are talking about, don't you? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Summer Sweets Ice Cream Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ice cream-themed cards for Summer using our Summer Sweet Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Summer Sweet Stamps, I created a 6-window grid using our Window Trio Square Dies, which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice. I then backed the openings with a pale pink polka-dot print I stamped using our Background Basics 2 Stamps. For my greeting, I stamped a punny birthday sentiment from the Summer Sweet Stamps onto a Brilliant Banner 3 Die cut from pale blue cardstock to compliment the blue in the glass dishes. I then filled all the openings with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-flavored ice cream treats, with a touch of red accents for the cherries and cola labels.

My second card pairs the swirl soft-serve ice cream cone and the phrase "Did you hear the scoop?" from the Summer Sweets Stamps with the ice cream truck and the hard-serve ice cream cone from our Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. I had fun coloring one cone to look like chocolate chip mint ice cream to match the retro aqua ice cream truck! I carried through the retro 1950s vibe with a bubblegum pink polka-pot print using the same Background Basics 2 Stamps. and framed the elements on two Rounded Rectangle Mats. Lastly, I die-cut a small pennant strip from aqua-striped patterned paper from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack using the die from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies and stamped it with my greeting.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

Party Pups Dog-Themed Birthday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some dog-themed birthday cards using our Party Pups Stamps.

For my first card, I paired the sheepdog, balloons, ball, and greeting from the Party Pups Stamps with the Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua from our Puppy Dog Kisses Stamps. I framed my little scene using our Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies and layered it with a rainbow striped chevron print and a rainbow polka-dot pattern from our Surprise Party Paper pack.

For my dog balloon strings, I loosely laid them out where I wanted each balloon to go and then added a small dot where the strings would end by the balloon knot and another dot in the center, behind my sheepdog. I then used my clear ruler with a Copic Multiliner pen in .1 thickness to draw strings for my balloons before adhering them to my background.

For my second card, I colored the Corgi, Pomeranian, Old English Sheepdog, Papillon, and Bulldog from the Party Pups Stamps to create an ultimate dog-lover birthday card. I colored each of their cupcake wrappers and party hats in a rainbow of colors to match the patterned papers from our Surprise Party Paper pack. I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies set to frame my scene this time. I also used the stitched ribbon from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies cut from red cardstock to create a divider between my scene, punny sentiment, and the colorful banner paper.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

Puddle Jumpers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here, and although I have been enjoying a lot of sunny days lately, every now and then, the occasional Spring shower comes along! Great for our garden and refreshing for us all! Anyway, making a fun rainbow card has been on my list for a while. And what better set to use for such a scene than the happy Puddle Jumpers stamps and dies!

How cute is this little girl with her frog umbrella and all the sweet ducks! I also stamped the puddle twice. The clouds were selected from the Spring Showers set and I enjoyed coloring these images with my Copics in bright colors.

Creating the rainbow was a bit tricky. I didn’t have a stamp or die in that shape so I browsed through my stash and had an idea when I saw the Distinctive Doors die! This set contains a staircase with three steps. If I had two of these and glued them together onto a backing piece of card stock, I would end up with a straight mini rainbow! Coloring this piece was easy, I just had to mask each ‘step’ to add the right Copic color.

Now it was time to work on the design layers of this project starting with a white panel cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set. Next, I create a large white rounded rectangle (Rounded Rectangle Mat dies).

I am a huge fan of embossing folders they truly enhance any card design. And today, I stepped it up a notch by adding some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to the raised side of the Buffalo Plaid folder before running the white rounded piece through the die cutting machine. When I layered all the pieces onto a white card base, it felt a little flat. It needed a pop of color! I could not find any matching blue card stock, so I just colored the borders of a white card base with a Copic marker I had used previously for the clouds.  

To continue the happy vibe of this project, I stamped a sentiment from the Over The Rainbow set onto a white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Adding a few Champagne Clear Jewels finishes this sweet ‘rainbow’ design. 

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
