Special Day Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card featuring this gorgeous cake from the Special Day Stamps! I love a peachy orange/lime green color scheme as the weather gets warmer and I think this would make for a perfect summer wedding congrats card.

I started this card by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. On the top half of the piece, I stamped a small rose from the Everything’s Rosy Stamps multiple times in Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then lightly inked over the roses with Lost Shadow Distress ink.

Next, I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Rectangle Die, cut it straight across at 2” and inked it in a gradient from light to dark using Dried Marigold Distress ink. I heat embossed the “congrats” sentiment from the Everything’s Rosy Stamps with black embossing powder 1/2" from the bottom of the cardstock.

For a little extra fanciness, I die-cut an Icing Border Die from white cardstock, adhered it at the top of the Dried Marigold piece and trimmed the excess from the right and left edges. I also die-cut 3 tabs from the Notebook Tabs Dies from white cardstock, adhered one centered on the Dried Marigold piece below the Icing Border and adhered the other 2 tabs to each side, trimming the excess from the edges. To cover where the tabs meet, I stamped a flower from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps twice on white cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then used a water brush and painted the inside of the flowers using yellow and orange inks. I die-cut the flowers using the coordinating dies and adhered them where the tabs meet. I adhered the Dried Marigold piece to the bottom of the Stitched Rectangle die-cut, matted the piece on silver cardstock and adhered it to an A2 card base.

Next, I inked 2 pieces of white cardstock (one with Twisted Citron Distress ink and one with Mowed Lawn Distress ink) and die-cut leaves using the Spring Greenery Dies. I adhered these above the Dried Marigold piece. To keep a light and airy feel to the card, I stamped the cake from the Special Day Stamps in light gray ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. To make the cake stand out a bit more and balance the black sentiment, I die-cut a piece of black cardstock with the coordinating cake die, cut the top portion of the cake off leaving just the cake stand portion and adhered the colored cake slightly overlapping the black die-cut. I then adhered the cake over the leaves with foam tape.

On the inside of the card, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Special Day Stamps with black embossing powder on white cardstock and die-cut it using a label die from the Sliding Window Dies. I then inked the die-cut with Dried Marigold Distress ink. I stamped a rose from the Special Day Stamps in light gray ink, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.

Big Bold Greetings Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a simple Thank You card using the Big Bold Greetings stamps.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and stamped the thanks with grey ink to create my patterned background. After I had adhered the panel to the card, I stamped the Baby Elephant and the Garden Fairy butterfly onto a piece of cardstock, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered them with foam tape.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die-cut it and added it to the card. Finally, I added white gems and used a white gel pen to add highlights.

I love big, bold greetings! Have a lovely weekend, see you next week!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a sweet birthday card featuring the beautiful Big Bold Greetings stamp and die set. There are a lot of sentiments in this set which makes it a super versatile addition to your stash!

Since you can never have enough birthday cards; I choose the ‘Happy Birthday’ and stamped it in a dark pink Memento ink. After die cutting the sentiment, I also cut two extra layers in white Neenah cardstock so I could stack them for dimension.

Next, I stamped and die cut all my images using the adorable elephants from Baby Elephants, the hats from Panda Party and the cake from Make A Wish. I used my Copics for the coloring, selecting bright Spring colors.

In my design I included a wreath arch made with large and small branches from the Spring Greenery dies. To decorate this arch I also cut a bunch of colorful little flowers from the Wonderful Windows die set. These flowers were the perfect size to scatter all over the greenery.

My card panel was cut from a piece of Neenah Solar White paper using the Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace die. I really love this die as a panel because it has a lovely scalloped edge. I didn’t want my background to be too distracting, so I just added a hint of purple with a shiplap stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Dusty Concord. 

Next I die cut an arch shape out of the panel using the largest of the Stitched Arched dies. To assemble the card, I first glued the remaining rectangle part of my panel directly to a white card base. Next, I mounted the stitched arch portion with foam tape to the base.

After building the greenery arch following the shape of the stitched arch, I added the little flowers and embellished them with a Pure White jewel to the centers. I completed the card by adhering the cake, elephants, and bold sentiment. 

Another birthday card ready to send!  Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Holiday Gift Tags with Marine and Waleska

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this set of three frosty tags! Once again, I went through my entire Sunny Studio collection to pick the different elements, and to create a frozen wintery look, I went for a teal + white + silver combo.

I started off by cutting three tags using a turquoise dotted pattern paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels paper pack and the main die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 die set. I also cut three smaller pieces out of a darker colored cardstock and another die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 die set. I embossed those three darker pieces using the Woodgrain embossing folder, and then to give all those elements more interest, I added white pigment ink on the edges, as well as copic opaque white ink to emphasize the frozen look.

I cut three white toppers using another die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 die set, and assembled a few things: I attached a small woodgrain panel in the center of each tag using double sided tape, and then a white topper at the very top of them using foam squares.

Next I stamped and cut all the elements to decorate the tags. I white heat embossed three poinsettias from Classy Christmas on vellum and cut them using the coordinating dies. I also cut a bunch of white, silver and white glittery leaves using dies from Pristine Poinsettia and Spring Greenery. And then I assembled and created a small cluster on each tag.

I cut three additional tags using the main die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 die set and attached one at the back of each tag to give them a nice finishing touch. And then I added the last details.

I cut three tiny silver circles using a die from the Comic Strip Everyday die set, glued one in the middle of each poinsettia, and added a clear droplet on top of each silver circle to bring more shine. I silver embossed three "Merriest Wishes" greetings from Reindeer Games on circle tags I cut using a die from the Sliding Window die set, and added white ink on those small tags to match the whole frosty look, and finally I attached those circle tags along with silver bells at the top of each tag using twine and ribbons.

And that's it! I hope you like those frozen tags, it was super fun to create them, very easy to mass produce I think! As always, you are more than welcome to watch the process video for more details (click on the image above). Thank you so much for watching, and have a very merry Christmas! See you next time!

Hi Friends, Waleska here! Today I have a fun idea for all those last minute gift wrapping and tags for your gifts, they are simple and very easy to assemble I hope you like them! The Mini Mat & Tag #1 set is just adorable and I had so much fun piecing all this tags together with different colors of cardstock and different cute critters!

I started by cutting the main tags with white cardstock I then cut the top that comes with the set from different colors of cardstock from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad. I cut four pieces of the rectangle from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 and inked them with oxide inks matching the colors I used for the tops of the tags. The Oxide Ink colors I used are: Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn.  I added water splashes and sparkle watercolor.

I then stamped and color the four cute critters from the Christmas Critters Stamp and adhere them to the inked pieces, finally I stamped the “To and From” from the Christmas Icons stamp set.

I love how adorable this cuties look peeking on this colorful tags! I hope you like them and can be inspired by them! Have a great rest of your day! Merry Christmas!

Designer's Choice Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here with a mixed media card as my designer's choice feature today. I love creating layers while still keeping it one layer. So I used various stamps and dies, even used the dies as stencils.

I started by creating the background panel by adding some inks to the gelli plate. Take the print onto a white card. I then stamped the butterflies from the Watering Can stamp, using the pink ink. Die-cut the leaves from the Spring Greenery dies, use these as a stencil to sponge some leaves onto the panel. Flick some black watercolor.

Stamp the butterflies from the Watering Can stamp, add touch of color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Add spectrum noir clear sparkle pen. die-cut leaves from the Summer Greenery dies, thrice from the white card and also vellum. Die-cut the oval from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies, die-cut the word hugs in the center. Sponge some pink ink to the edges.

Die-cut the speech bubble from pink and yellow card using the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles dies, adhere the yellow to the pink slightly offset. Stamp the sentiment. Adhere the panel to the white card and adhere all the elements to it. I used 3d foam on some for added dimension.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! I love the layering stamps from SSS as they are just so realistic and so easy to use! 

I decided to pull out some of my favorite layering stamps from the latest release and create a fun 3D bouquet of flowers with the help of Lawn Fawn’s Platform die. I first created my platform base using LF’s die and some cardstock. 

Then, I stamped and die cut the flowers and butterflies from Lovely Lilacs and Watering Can stamp sets. I added this to the platform die with the help of some double sided tape and some clear acetate (for support). I decided to not add a sentiment so that I can use it for any occasion. That’s it!

I hope you loved this super fun and easy project! Happy Crafting!
