Designer's Choice: Captivating Cameliias Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card as this week is designer's choice as the theme. I decided to use various products and create this card.

To start, I took a white cardbase. Sponged some picked raspberry and wilted violet distress ink towards the right. I then die-cut a piece of white card with Frilly Frame Herringbone die. I then die-cut another piece using Fancy Frames Rectangle die and adhere the inside frame to the white herringbone piece. Adhere this to the cardbase using 3d foam.

Stamp the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the layering florals using the Captivating Camellias stamp set and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. Die-cut the leaves from white card using the Spring Greenery dies. Sponge them with cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress inks. Adhere to the card. To finish, I stamped and embossed butterflies from the Watering Can stamps onto vellum using white embossing powder, die-cut using the coordinating dies and adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Wicker Basket Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this 3D spring card showcasing some yummy strawberries from Berry Bliss and the beautiful Wicker Basket. When I first saw this new die, I knew I'd pair it with flowers or fruits, and my pick was strawberries because they always remind me of my grandfather's garden during spring and summer.

I started off by building my 3D card base. I cut the main pieces out of kraft cardstock, the grass insert pieces out of green cardstock, and the decorative pieces out of a Spring Fever pattern paper. I assembled everything, and then moved on to stamping the strawberries from Berry Bliss.

I used Lawn Fawn premium dye inks: Ballet Slippers for the 1st layer, Peachy Keen for the 2nd, and Guava for the 3rd one. And for the stems I used Altenew crisp dye inks: Frayed Burlap for the 1st layer, and Forest Glades for the 2nd one. Next I used my heat gun to dry the inks and make sure the layers stay crisp and detailed, and then I used the coordinating die to cut all my strawberries.

Next I did some die cutting, and first cut a Picket Fence out of white woodgrain cardstock. I cut the basket from Wicker Basket out of kraft cardstock, added some vintage photo oxide inks and texture to make it less flat. I also cut the flowers and the bow from the same die set. I also cut several Spring Greenery leaves that I colored using shabby shutters and mowed lawn oxide inks, added texture, and cut more greenery out of green cardstock.

I attached four strawberries inside the Wicker Basket, put the bow on the handle, added lots of greenery and flowers, and then attached everything inside the card using 3mm glue dots. For my greeting, I embossed "Spring" from Big Bunny in gold on white cardstock and trimmed it into a slim banner, and I embossed "Greetings" from the same set in white on aqua cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and then attached both pieces on the front of my card using 1mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I hope you like this early taste of spring! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Beautiful Bluebells Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a thank you card featuring the Beautiful Bluebells Stamps. The gorgeous details in these stamps can’t be overstated!

I kept the design of this A2 card fairly simple to showcase these beautiful flowers. I started by die-cutting a paper from the Spring Fever Paper using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhering it to a white card front. Next, I die-cut 2 pieces of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I die-cut one of them using the quatrefoil portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhered it to the solid stitched rectangle. I then adhered the combined piece to the card front.

To provide a base for the flowers, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Semi-Circle Dies and inked it lightly just short of the edges with Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac Distress inks. I adhered it 3/4" from the top of the card.

I stamped the bluebells in various shades of purple ink and a dusty blue ink (Simon Says Stamp Lilac, Amethyst and Orchid, Memento Elderberry and Hero Arts Dusty Blue. Stems in Simon Says Stamp Celery and Limelicious) and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the Stitched Semi-Circle die-cut beginning with the tallest flowers at the top and working down to the base of the semi-circle. (I reserved one bud to adhere overlapping the leaf)

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Spring Greenery Die and inked it with Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I adhered this below the bouquet and then overlapped/adhered one last flower bud.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps using Simon Says Stamp Orchid ink and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I adhered it with foam dimensional tape.

I just love how this turned out and I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Pretty Poinsettia Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha, here today with a bright and festive Christmas card featuring the Pretty Poinsettia stamps and dies. These stamps give a beautiful effect and it is so easy to align all the layers. We can stamp multiple images at the same time and then mass produce these cards.

I started by taking a white card layer and used the Dotted Diamond Portrait die for a lovely texture. Add some teal splatters using salvaged patina distress ink. 

Stamp the images and die-cut using coordinating dies:

Poinsettia - Pretty Poinsettia stamps and dies
Fir leaves - Classy Christmas stamps and dies
Sentiment - Christmas Critters
Fern leaves from silver card  - Spring Greenery dies

Create the cluster, add the sentiment. Adhere this layer to a pink cardbase.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pristine Poinsettia Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back again today with more poinsettias and those three bright and cheerful mini cards using the Pristine Poinsettia die set. Love this set so much! Last year I used that same set to make a cold and frosty holiday card, and this time I went for more traditional colors.

I started off by creating and assembling three almost identical card bases following the same process:

1. Cut three Stitched Rectangles out of white cardstock

2. Cut three All Is Bright panels using Mini Mat & Tag 1 + Mini Mat & Tag 2 + Mini Mat & Tag 4 dies

3. Cut two Dotted Diamond Landscape panels, and cut three small Stitched Rectangles out of those two panels. Color those three textured panels using spun sugar and worn lipstick distress inks. Add splatters using festive berries mixed water, and white ink mixed with water

4. Layer and attach the panels on top of each other, and then on card bases

Next I cut all the flower, greenery and berry pieces using dies from Pristine Poinsettia, Winter Greenery and Spring Greenery. I cut the flower elements out of three different shades of red cardstock, and cut the greenery elements out of brown, aqua, green, white, vellum and gold cardstock.

I first started by layering and attaching the Pristine Poinsettia pieces together using liquid glue. Next I stuck a flower on each card base, and then added greenery around each one of them. I added berries here and there, and glued a clear droplet on each to bring more shine and dimension.

The last step was to create three greetings, and I used the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from Bells & Baubles that I white heat embossed on black cardstock, cut using the matching dies, and attached on the opposite corner of each poinsettia using 2mm foam squares. And finally I added highlights and details at some places using a white gel pen.

And that's it! As always I had a lot of fun making those mini cards, I love how bright and beautiful they turned out, and I hope that you like them. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Everything's Rosy Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today we are talking about lots of layering! First up I am creating gorgeous flowers with the layering stamp and die set Everything’s Rosy! The detail in these stamps is just amazing and you end up with such great realistic roses.

As always with layering stamps I used a trick I learned from Jennifer McGuire using the dies and a stamping tool. You start by die cutting the basic shapes, in this case the two roses and the clustered leaves. I cut each shape several times. You put the negative pieces of cardstock inside the stamping tool, so you can just pop in the basic shapes.

Next, I removed all the stamps from the plastic sheet they come on. You place the first drawing (the 1a image) onto the cut basic shape for perfect placement. I secure the plastic in place with some low tack tape. Next, I place the coordinating stamp onto the drawing and line it up with the lines of the image. Then you just pick up the stamp with the door of your stamping tool and remove the plastic, you’ll get perfect stamping each time! Repeat the same process for each layer. I always stamp more images than I need, giving myself some room to play with the design.

I created a white A2 card base and covered it with a pretty teal paper from the Sweater Weather paper pad. This ties in nicely with the teal inks I used on the leaves. I cut a white panel with the Frilly Frames Stripes Die and layered it on top of the teal one. Next, I added a white circle using the largest of the Scalloped Circle Mats 3.

Now it was time to lay down my roses and leaves, so I could see how much room I had left for a sentiment. I fiddled a bit with the placement and once I was happy, I could adhere the arrangement with liquid glue and dimensional foam tapes. As a little bonus, I added some white and teal leaves cut with the Spring Greenery dies.

I stamped the beautiful scripty ‘Thank You’ from the Big Bold Greetings in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the matching die. A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were scattered around the sentiment.

I hope you will create beautiful bouquets with these gorgeous, layered roses! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
