Crisp Apples Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun card with the versatile Build-a-Bowl dies. You can fill this bowl with lots of fruits, I opted for some yummy Crisp Apples!

Instead of a normal rectangle card base, I decided to round the corners and add a fun stripe pattern (stencil from my stash and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide).

I love adding lots of layers to my card, so next I cut a panel from a blue purple paper with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. After cutting a smaller white piece of card stock with one of the Stitched Arch dies, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for extra texture.

Then it was time for my centerpiece, which consists of the pretty bowl (Build-a-Bowl dies) cut from a purple gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) and embellished with a purple border (Ribbon and Lace Borders).

I cut a bunch of apples and leaves (Crisp Apples) from white card stock. I love that you get two sizes and colored them with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers and Scorched Timber.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings set and stamped onto a white Brilliant Banner 4 with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from y stash. I stacked this banner on top of a purple one. A few Champagne Clear jewels were added for that extra sparkle.

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.💛

Build-A-Bowl Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Amanda and I'm so happy to be here with you on the blog today! I just received the coolest Build-a-Bowl Die Set from Sunny Studio Stamps and I am obsessed!! You can make all sorts of different bowls with this set!  

For my card, I created a colander for my lemons out of gray cardstock. It’s super simple to create it! You just die cut the handles, oval ring, base and bowl. Secure the hole-y die on top of the bowl with a piece of low tack tape and then run it through your die cutting machine again to create holes in the bowl to convert it to a colander! Glue all the pieces together and you’ve got yourself a colander!

The lemons are die cut using the Fresh Lemon Dies. I cut the lemons with 2 different shades of yellow cardstock and the leaves from a textured green cardstock. Once all the lemons were cut, I arranged them in the colander and then used glue to secure them. I put foam tape and squares behind the assembled colander and the lemons.

For the background, I ran the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies through my die cutting machine with a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25” x 5.5”.

For the arch cutout, I lightly blended Catherine Pooler’s Oh Boy! ink. I placed 3D foam strips behind the arch frame and attached it to an A2 card base. Then, I glued the inner arch directly to the card base. I added my colander and lemons to the card.

I stamped my sentiment from the Slice of Summer Stamps with a Wow! embossing pad onto a piece of black cardstock. Then, I applied white embossing powder to the glue. I used my heat tool to melt the powder and then I trimmed the cardstock into a strip. I placed a 3D foam strip behind the sentiment and added it to the card. To finish the card off, I added a few of the Champagne Clear Jewels with glue.

I can’t wait to experiment with making different sorts of bowls with these dies! So much fun! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspiration from the team!

Stitched Arch Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey crafters! It’s Amanda here! Today, I’m sharing this fun summer card and how I made it! Keep reading to see all the products I used, Copic markers, and how I put it all together!

The first step to creating this card is to trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. Next, using some low tack tape, secure the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies in the center of the panel. Set this panel aside for later.

Next, grab 2 pieces of blue or teal cardstock for the waves. Using the Catch a Wave Dies, create 2 waves that are approximately 4” wide. Glue the waves together and then place foam tape behind them.

On an A2 card base, glue a piece of red cardstock directly to the front of it. Then, attach your waves with the foam tape. Place foam tape only on the upper portion of the arch panel.  Put glue on the bottom portion where it touches the waves. This will keep the arch panel level.

Grab your Ocean View and Kiddie Pool Stamp Sets, a MISTI or stamping platform, and alcohol marker-friendly black ink. Stamp the images with the black ink and then get your Copic markers ready!

Here are the Copic marker colors I used to color this scene:

Girl:
Hair: E53, E55, E57, E59
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Mouth: R37, R59
Suit: RV23, RV25, RV29
Goggles: B02, B06 (B21 for the lenses)

Crab: RV23, RV25, Rv29, R46

Rocks: N4, N5, N6, N8

Plants & Shell: 
YR000, YR12, YR15, YR16, YR18
Y32, Y35, Y38
E00, E13
BG11, BG13, BG15

Once coloring is complete, trim the images out with the coordinating dies or fussy cut them with scissors. Add some white highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

On a small piece of black cardstock, stamp the sentiment with a WOW embossing pad, apply white embossing powder, and then melt the powder with a heat tool. Trim the sentiment into a strip and then create a flag/banner edge with scissors.

Glue the rocks and plants directly to the waves, having the edges poke out in front of the arch. Then, put 3D foam squares behind the girl, crab, shell, and sentiment strip and add them to the scene. Finally, glue a few of the Clear Jewels around the card to complete the card!

What a fun layout for a card using that Stitched Arch Die! I hope you enjoyed reading about this card! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspo!

Puppy Parents Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it is Tina and today I am creating a sweet card for my husband, who is an incredible Dad and also a dog lover. Our two dogs Mira and Lena bring so much love and joy in our lives. When I saw the Puppy Parents stamp and die set, I knew it would be perfect for this project!

Of course, I selected the two fluffiest doggies of this adorable bunch since they look just like ours. To set the scene, I also stamped the sweet doghouse, a few balls, the food bowl, and some bones.

After creating a simple white card base, I die cut all the layers for this card. Starting with the white frame (largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies), I backed this frame with a sheet of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) and finally I cut a white arched panel (Stitched Arch dies).

This last piece will become the base for my scene. First, I stamped a cobblestone border (Sprawling Surfaces). Next, I masked off this part of the panel with some Post-It tape and added a pink cloudy sky with a stencil from my stash and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.

I pulled out my Copic Markers and colored all the images as well as the stone border. But when I did a try-out of the scene and put the dogs in place, it felt a bit busy. A piece of vellum is a good option to soften a busy background. Die cutting with the Stitched Arch again gave me the perfect vellum layer. I used a tape runner for vellum to attach this layer to the background and felt much happier with the design!

The arched shape of the Brilliant Banner 4 die was a perfect match for the scene, my Misti worked great to curve the combined sentiment from the Puppy Parents stamp (the red ink was pulled from my stash).  As a final embellishment, I added a few Pink Spinel Jewels.

I hope you will enjoy these fun Puppy Parents stamps as much as I did! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
