Beautiful Bluebells Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this elegant and pretty shaker card showcasing the Beautiful Bluebells that I stamped using pinks and reds instead of the traditional blues and purples.

I started off by creating my shaker background, and first cut a Frilly Frame Lattice panel out of white woodgrain cardstock. I also cut a 4,75 x 3,5 inches acetate panel that I attached at the back of my lattice panel using double sided tape, and added foam strips directly on the four edges of the acetate panel. I poured a bunch of 3mm clear sequins on the acetate, and then attached a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light pink panel to the foam strips to close my shaker. And I attached my panel to a matching card base.

For my greeting, I first cut a Scalloped Oval Mat 1 red panel that I stuck in the middle of my Frilly Frame Lattice panel using 2mm foam squares. Next I gold heat embossed my sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats on a Stitched Oval 2 white panel that I attached on top of the red scalloped oval panel using 1mm foam squares.

Next I stamped a bunch of Beautiful Bluebells on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Altenew crisp dye inks: frosty pink + coral berry + ruby red + warm sunshine for the flowers, and frayed leaf + forest glades. I used the matching dies to cut them all, and then attached everything above and below the greeting using foam squares and liquid glue. I finished my card by adding clear droplets here and there.

And that's it! I love that depending on the greeting, you can turn this card into totally different things: wedding, mother's day, spring, etc. I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Big Bunny Card with Rachel

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a fun Easter-themed A2 sized card featuring the newly released Big Bunny Stamp Set. I love adding patterned paper to my cards when possible, so I made sure to use a gorgeous teal piece of polka dotted paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastel Paper Pack. 

All of my images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating Big Bunny Die Set to cut them out. I set them aside and then die cut a scalloped oval frame using both the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies and the second to largest Stitched Oval Dies. In order to give more dimension to my frame, I used some 3D foam adhesive tape to adhere it to the front of my card. I then added my bunny and basket into this frame using some more dimension tape.

I also added some grass using a grass-patterned piece of paper from the Spring Fever Paper Pack that I had die cut with the new Mini Grass Border Die. Next, I heat embossed part of my sentiment using some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a scrap of black card stock. I also stamped the word "greetings" with black ink onto a scrap piece of white card stock and used the matching die to cut it out. Lastly, I adhered my sentiment pieces to my card front. I adore the size of this bunny, and I hope that you do as well!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! Hugs!

Love Birds Card with Tammy

Hello friends and Happy New Year! Tammy here! I'm so excited to be back on the blog sharing some projects, featuring new and amazing products from Sunny Studio's spring release. My card today is showcasing the adorable set, Love Birds.

I colored the darling birds from the Love Birds Stamp set to look like blue birds, using Copic markers, then die cut all images with the coordinating dies. Next, I created a little oval background for the blue birds using the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies. 

I lightly blended the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink, then attached it (with foam tape) to a blue patterned panel, cut from the Classic Sunburst Paper, measuring 4 X 5 1/2". 

Next, I arranged the images onto the scalloped oval, attaching some with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a pink banner die cut using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die. 

Lastly, I attached the sentiment banner to my card using foam tape, then adhered my panel to a white A2 card base to finish up my card.

Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

Bells & Baubles Shaker Ornament with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this shaker ornament showcasing Bells & Baubles. As you can see, I kind of went out of my comfort zone with this gold and black color palette, I'm more of a let-throw-all-the-colors-on-one-single-card kind of girl, but I was actually inspired by my friend and fellow crafter Bobbi Lemanski who recently shared a beautiful set of black + gold + white tags, and I thought it would be a fun challenge for me.

So I started off by stamping five baubles on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks. I stamped each image twice to get a nice impression, and then used the coordinating dies to cut everything. Here are the color combinations I picked:

• golden baubles: butter + sunflower + no. 2 pencil

• black baubles: manatee + hippo + black licorice

• toppers: no. 2 pencil

I cut a scalloped oval frame out of black cardstock using the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 and the largest die from Stitched Oval 2. I also cut an acetate panel using the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 again, and attached that acetate panel at the back of my black scalloped frame using liquid glue. I stamped my "Merry Christmas" greeting from Bells & Baubles at the bottom of the acetate panel using white stazon ink.

I attached the baubles directly on the acetate using 1mm foam squares, and added golden threads that I secured and stuck at the top back of the frame using thin pieces of tape. I added foam strips at the back of my frame, all along the oval shape, and poured my shaker material inside the acetate window: golden sequins from my stash, and White Snowflake Confetti.

Next I created the handle for my ornament. I cut two black pieces using the smallest die from Stitched Arch, and attached both elements back to back using liquid glue. I also cut two gold mirror eyelets using a die from Sliding Window, attached one of them on the front of my handle, and the second at the back.

Using the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 again, I cut a panel out of a Classic Sunburst black paper, and attached my handle piece at the top back using liquid glue. I cut another scalloped panel out of black cardstock that I glued at the back of the other, and then stuck that panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker ornament.

To finish my ornament, I added golden thread on the handle, tied a bow using ribbon from my stash and attached it at the top of the frame using liquid glue. And that's it! I had a really good time making this ornament, and I think it would look amazing with traditional colors like red + green + gold, or even with wintery colors like teal + blue + silver. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Baking Spirits Bright Card with Tammy

Hello friends! Tammy here sharing a festive holiday card, featuring the sweet set, Baking Spirits Bright. Every Christmas, my daughter and I spend a few days baking cookies to give to friends, family, and neighbors. It has become one of our favorite traditions, and one I cherish most of all! 

To begin, I stamped the images from Baking Spirits Bright, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Baking Spirits Bright Dies. Next, I die cut a scalloped oval from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies, then lightly inked the center with Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some watered down Salvaged Patina onto the oval for some interest.

I die cut a banner from aqua paper using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die, then stamped the sentiment from Baking Spirits Bright in black ink and attached it to the inked oval using foam tape for dimension. Next, I arranged the cookies onto the oval, also attaching them with foam tape.

Next, I cut an A2 panel using the gingerbread paper from the All is Bright Paper Pad. I then cut a piece of gingham paper, from the Joyful Paper Pad, approximately 3 1/2 X 5 1/2" and added a white scalloped border on each side, die cut using the Slimline Basic Borders Dies. I layered all the pieces together, then attached the oval with foam tape before adhering to a white A2 card base to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!

Love & Light Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this bright Hanukkah card showcasing the beautiful Love & Light stamp set which includes the perfect images to make your own Hanukkah card or tags.

I decided to go for a shaker card, and started off by cutting three different elements to build it:

• an A2 sized Dotted Diamond Landscape blue panel
• an A2 sized Spring Sunburst blue panel
• an A2 sized acetate panel
• a gold glitter frame using the Stitched Oval 2 + Scalloped Oval Mat 1 largest dies

I added a little bit of prize ribbon + black soot distress inks on the edges of my Dotted Diamond panel, and used the largest Stitched Oval 2 die to cut an opening right in the middle of it. I attached the acetate panel at the back using double sided tape, and added foam strips all along the four edges of my panel, as well as around the oval opening. I poured a bunch of golden sequins inside the window, and then stuck my Spring Sunburst panel on the foam to totally close the shaker. And to decorate the oval window nicely, I attached my gold glitter frame using liquid glue.

Next I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers + Graph'it brush markers. I also white heat embossed my "Happy Hanukkah" greeting from Love & Light on black cardstock and cut it using the coordinating die.

I attached everything on my shaker panel using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like it. Here's another idea, as I'm writing this, you could create a wreath with the olive branches and put either the dove in the center, or the candelabrum, or even just the greeting, any of these would look amazing! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Truckloads of Love Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a classic-style Christmas card featuring the versatile Truckloads of Love Stamp Set. I love this set because it can be decorated appropriately for a variety of occasions and seasons throughout the entire year. For my card today, I used the truck combined with the wooden railing, Christmas gifts, and tree to create a simple Christmas-themed card.

I started my card by first stamping my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating Truckloads of Love Die Set to cut them out. Next, I die cut two large scalloped ovals from some smooth white card stock using the largest die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies. I set one of my oval die cuts aside to use as my background and then ran the second one through my die cutting machine again and cut the inside of it with the largest oval from the Stitched Ovals 2 Die Set in order to make a scalloped oval frame.

I then blended some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink onto my first scalloped oval cut to create my background sky. Once finished, I then used one of the Forest Trees Stencils to blend some pine trees over top of my background sky with some Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Ink. I then added some white ink spatters using diluted Copic Opaque White Paint to resemble snow. I made my card the standard A6 (4.5" x 6.25") size and layered it with some red patterned paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad. 

I next stamped my sentiment from the Christmas Home Stamp Set onto my background oval scene and then adhered it to my card base with some 3D foam adhesive tape. Next, I die cut a snow drift from the negative oval piece that I had left over from making my frame using one of the stitched slope border dies from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Following that, I added my frame around my oval with some liquid adhesive and lastly added my stamped images with more 3D foam adhesive squares for extra dimension.

Brilliant Banner Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with an oval shaped card featuring the festive Brilliant Banner 2 Dies. They come in two different shapes and I used the curved one for this project. It matches perfectly with the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies!

To start this design, I cut the banner and the oval mat from white Neenah paper. Next, while I had the oval die out, I created my oval card base by scoring the paper in two and leaving the top part uncut.

For my background I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers. I used some white gouache and a small paintbrush to create little snowflakes. The snowbank was made of some white Neenah paper that I first dry embossed with the Buffalo Plaid folder. I love the little extra it gives to the ‘snow’. Next, I created the white frame by cutting the middle part of the oval mat with a smaller die from an infinity set.

For this Christmas card, I selected the adorable Santa from Santa Claus Lane, a sweet reindeer and presents from Reindeer Games and the birch trees from Bear Hugs. These are all amazing holiday sets which work so well together! Love browsing my stash to come up with different mix and match ideas! All the images were colored with Copic markers. I stamped a greeting from Reindeer Games onto the white banner with my go to Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Now let’s assemble the card, starting by adhering the sky panel and snowbank to the card base. Next, I created the snowy scene by adhering all the images that needed to be placed inside the frame. Finally, I added the frame, the banner, the bags and a some presents on top of the oval frame. A few small white snowflakes with Chrystal Clear Jewels were the only embellishments this card needed.

I hope you will have fun mixing and matching new products with supplies from your stash! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
