Candy Shoppe Sweet-Themed Cards With Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, dropping in to share some sweet-themed cards for Summer using our Candy Shoppe Stamps.

I used the gumball machine and gumballs to take center stage for my first card showcasing the Candy Shoppe Stamps. I framed my images by creating a stitched window using our Stitched Arch Dies and then added stitching to either side of my 3.25" wide panel using the stitched edge die from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I inked behind my window directly onto my card base (to reduce bulk and extra paper) using a light touch of Salty Ocean distress ink and then added strips of rainbow gingham patterned paper to either side from our Rainbow Bright Paper pack. It was such a simple card to create, but I love how it turned out! I'm always a sucker for bright, happy cards (no pun intended).

My second card pairs the lollipops, licorice, suckers, and wrapped candies from our Candy Shoppe Stamps with the kids from our Spring Showers Stamps. When my daughters were little, my husband would often bring them back these larger than life Chupa Chups Giant Lollipops as gifts when returning from business trips (which are wrapped to look like their famous lollipops, but really are just a plastic case holding normal sized Lollipops inside). With that sweet memory in mind, I thought it would be fun to pair these two stamp sets together, despite them not matching in scale at first glance.

I once again inked up a small section behind them, directly onto my white card base, before adhering the parade of kids to my scene. I then stamped the punny greeting from the set and added a row of wrapped candies from the set to form a border between the scene and the polka-dot print from our Rainbow Bright Paper pack.

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.💛

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!
