Monkey Business Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I really went a bit overboard with this card! Since I am featuring some adorable cuties from the Monkey Business stamps and dies set , I went all out creating a vibrant jungle scene! 

Starting with a green card base, I then cut a white panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Stripes. Next, I create a frame with one of the Stitched Semi Circle dies. This provides the opening for my scene.

For my leafy jungle, I first cut a panel from a green sheet of paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) with the border die from the Botanical Backdrop. I adhered parts of this border to the back of my white panel so it would look like the leaves were growing inside of the frame. From that same green sheet I also cut 6 more individual leaves to spread around my design (Summer Greenery). I wanted the background to be completely green, so I added another green striped panel to the back of the white piece. Now I could adhere this whole jungle scene to the card base with liquid glue.

The main characters of this card are the cuties from Monkey Business, it was hard to select only three of them! Of course they needed some yummy bananas as well! To add to the jungle vibe, I also stamped a sweet parrot (Outback Critters).

All the coloring was done with Copic markers and I added some highlights with a white gel pen. I found the perfect sentiment in the Inside Greetings Congrats set and used a red ink from my stash. To assemble the card, I first added the individual leaves and bananas to the scene, followed by the cute critters and sentiment. Lastly, I added a bunch of yellow jewels (Pastel Jewels Mix). I am so excited to see all your takes on this sweet set!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Santa Claus Lane Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with a sweet snowy scene in which I combined two amazing holiday sets.

From the Santa Claus Lane stamp and die set, I selected the cute Santa with his sleigh and presents. Next, I added an adorable cutie from the Reindeer Games stamp and die set. I love how well these sets work together to provide even more design ideas. After coloring all the images with my Copics, I put them aside to work on my backdrop.

Starting off with a teal card base, I then cut a panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die from white card stock. For extra texture, I ran this panel through my die cutting  machine with the Cable Knit embossing folder. Folders are such a quick and easy solution to add that extra layer of dimension to your projects, and this one is just perfect for winter cards!

Another way to elevate your project is to include pattern paper. Here I am inlaying the Stitched Semi-Circle in a pale snowflake paper (Subtle Grey Tones). Now I only needed to cut a snowbank from white paper to complete the scene. After assembling all the background elements with liquid glue, I mounted the images with foam tape. Next step was to add loads of snow with a white paint pen!

The sentiment was selected from the Reindeer Games stamp set and stamped on a white banner with a red ink from my stash. A bunch of scattered larger snowflakes (Snowflake Circle Frame die) completed the scene. They each were embellished with a Champagne  Clear Jewel.

I loved combining these amazing sets and I hope you got inspired by this sweet design. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Christmas Home & Victorian Christmas House Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our Christmas Home Stamps and Victorian Christmas Stamps.

My first card combines the house from the Victorian Christmas Stamps with the house, car, tree, snowman, lamp post, and sentiments from the Christmas Home Stamps. I started by adding a multi-colored strip of patterned paper to the bottom of my card using a print from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack. I then added a 4-1/4" wide x 4-7/8" high white cardstock panel to the top of my card that had stitching added to the bottom edge using a die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Before stamping my greeting, I inked below it with some Tumbled Glass Distress ink to maintain the feeling of a 2x2 grid.

I created an evening scene for my second card using the house, fence, and trees from the Christmas Home Stamps. To frame the scene and give myself a place for a night sky, I inked up our Stitched Semi-Circle Dies with Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, and Prize Ribbon Distress Inks. I then stamped Santa in his sleigh with his reindeer flying through the sky in a black silhouette using the Here Comes Santa Stamps. 

I used my white gel pen to add snowflake dots to the background and then curved my sentiment from the Christmas Home Stamps to match the curve along the top of my semi-circle. Curving your sentiments is easy to do when placing a piece of acetate over your card in MISTI tool. It gives you a slick surface to adhere the stamps to and the freedom to visually position the stamps exactly where you want them on your card. You can then close your lid to pick up the images and set the acetate aside for next time. I use clear acetate so much with my stamping that I always store a trimmed sheet with my stamp positioning tool. 

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Rustic Winter Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I'm so happy to be back with this monochromatic holiday card showcasing the beautiful Rustic Winter die set. I've had this set in my stash for years but for some reason never used it, and that was a huge mistake because it is amazing, I love those delicate and pretty deer!

I started off by cutting all the bits and pieces out of dark grey, light grey, white, and silver glitter cardstock. I added liquid stardust splatters to the white pieces, copic opaque white ink splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the dark grey and light grey pieces, and then assembled everything. I layered the deer, pine trees, birch trees, and bow on top of silver glitter pieces, but shifted them a little bit to get a pretty silver border around each element. The deer and birch trees are from Rustic Winter, the pine trees are from Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On, and the bow is from Wicker Basket.

Next I worked on my shaker background and cut a Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday snowflake pattern paper using the second largest die from the set. I used the second Stitched Semi Circle die to cut an opening out of my snowflake panel, cut an acetate panel slightly larger than the opening, created a frosty effect on the edges using copic opaque white ink and a sponge dauber, and once dry, I attached this piece of acetate at the back of my panel to create a window.

To turn this opening into a snow globe, I temporarily taped the second Stitched Semi Circle die to a piece of dark grey cardstock using washi tape, cut the semi circle shape following the outside edges of the die, and then run the panel through my die cutting machine, with the die still attached, to cut a thin frame that I stuck to the front of my snowflake panel around the acetate window using liquid glue. I cut a white panel using the second Stitched Semi Circle die again, cut a wavy border out of this panel, added liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I stuck that border at the bottom of the acetate window using liaquid glue. I cut a fishtail banner out of light grey cardstock using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, white heat embossed "Peace, love & joy to the world" from Build-A-Greeting Holidays on it, and attached that banner right below the window using 1mm foam squares.

For the inside of my shaker, I first cut a Classic Sunburst black & grey panel using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it. On that black & grey panel, I added another white wavy border, making sure it was higher than the one on the front panel, and then stuck seven birch trees from Rustic Winter. I attached two layers of foam strips all around the edges of my inside panel, poured tiny crystal stones on the trees, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and then stuck my front panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel. I attached my shaker panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches black panel, next to a white card base, and then I stuck the deer, pine trees, and bow using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

To decorate each top corner of the card, I cut Lacy Snowflakes out of the same cardstock as the other pieces, added the same details and textures, and assembled them using liquid glue. Finally, I glued White Snowflake Confetti in the center of each snowflake and bow as well. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
