Baby Elephants Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hello crafty friends, Marine here! I'm back today with another baby card, super sweet and precious, showcasing Baby Elephants.

I started off with the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel and picked three different oxide inks to create the base of my sky: peacock feathers at the bottom, blueprint sketch in the middle and wilted violet at the top. Next I wanted to add clouds to this background, but before creating them, I set the panel aside to dry and let the inks really soak into the paper.

So while the paper was drying, I stamped some cute elephants and stars from Baby Elephants, a butterfly nest from Spring Showers, and clouds from Balloon Rides. As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and used my alcohol markers to color everything.

Next I worked on my background panel again, and created clouds using a cloud stencil along with white pigment ink. On the bottom left corner of the panel, I white heat embossed my sentiment "Welcome baby girl", and then I attached my images using foam squares, glue dots and liquid glue.

Once all the images were attached, I added some final details: highlights using my white gel pen, I also added a bow from Passionate Penguins on each elephant's head, and finally applied a coat of glossy accents on the star balloon to make it super shiny.

And that's it, we have a sweet card to celebrate the birth of a baby girl, and you can celebrate the birth of a baby boy as well because the word "boy" is also included in the Baby Elephants stamp set. I leave you with the process video (click on the image above), feel welcome to check it out for more details. Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends, Marieke here to share a cute Baby Elephants card with you. 

For today's post I first cut a rectangle and ink blended some Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness onto it. Splattered some water and Rustic Wilderness mixed with water and adhered it onto a white base card.

Stamped the images out of the Baby Elephants, Fabulous Flamingo, Tropical Scenes and Snail Mail stamp sets. Colored them up using my Copic markers. Die cut them using the matching dies or cut them using my scissors. Cut a strip of kraft cardstock and ink blended some Walnut Stain onto it.

Used Copic Colors:
Elephants - C5, C3, C1, C0, C00 / R20, R00, R000, R0000 / W5, W3, W1
Light green - YG67, YG63, YG03
Dark Green - G28, G09, G07
Flowers - R85, R81
Hearts - R59, R29, R24
Brown - E47, E44, E43

Heat set the sentiment out of the Snail Mail stamp on some kraft cardstock. Trimmed it down to a small banner and dry embossed it using the Woodgrain Embossing folder. Adhered some twine behind it and adhered it to the card. Glued all the other elements onto the card and finished the card by adding some glossy accent to the hearts.

Wonky Windows Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hi there. It's Bobbi Lemanski here sharing another card featuring the new Wonky Windows die set. This set will quickly be one of my staples because not only do you get these fun-shaped windows, but also three uniquely shaped pennants to dress up your cards. Today, I paired the cute windows with that yummy Cupcake Shaped Die set we all love. On the outside, this card teases a little with some treat tidbits. When the card is opened, a big cupcake with all the fixings is waiting for the birthday celebration!

To make this 5" X 7" card, I cut the card base at 10" wide X 7" tall and scored down the center.  I also cut the front panel measuring 5" X 7".  I used Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for all the pieces. I die cut two rows of the wonky windows on a diagonal for interest. The Wonky Windows die cuts all three windows at once which makes it easy to use.

For the front panel, I splattered black watercolor paint and added some red specks using a marker. I used a fine-tip black marker and added faux double stitching around each window. I added grey tones Subtle Grey Tones pattern paper to the back of the windows and attached it in place. Next, I added lots of fun bits from the Cupcake Shape Dies set. Two cherries, two candles, two hearts, small confetti, and the pennants from the Wonky Windows set were added to the windows. I used Ranger Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Carved Pumpkin, and Worn Lipstick to color the banners, pennants, and hearts. I list the Copic colors I used for the other colored elements below. I added Red Zircon Jewels, Blue Topaz Jewels, Orange Topaz Jewels and some enamel gem stickers to the windows. I stamped the phrase in the lower right corner. 

Inside the card, I added the elements of the Cupcake Shape Dies and colored them using the following Copics. These are the same colors I used on the front panel.

• Blue/Greens: B49, B23, BG11
• Reds: R46, R29, R24, R17, R14, R22, R20
• Browns: E59, E57, E55
• Yellows: Y38, Y19, Y15, Y13
• Oranges: YR68, YR65, YR61, YR04
• Greens: YG67, YG03 (front panel cherry stems)

Notice that I cut the candles and the white heart at slants at the bottom edges to make them look like they are inserted into the frosting. I used a white gel pen and red marker to add some frosting texture. I added fun details like the cute pennants from the Wonky Windows set to the cupcake. I used a fine-tip black marker to "connect" the pennants around the cake. I used the Kiddie Pool stamp set for the "It's your birthday/Day" phrases. Lastly, I stamped the phrase, "you deserve this", taken from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set, at the bottom to finish the card. This card fits inside an A7 size envelope for giving.

Hi Friends! It’s Catherine here sharing a fun underwater card featuring the new Wonky Windows Die! 

For the foreground, I die cut the Wonky Windows Frame onto white cardstock 4.25” x 5.5”.  I ink blended the cardstock from the outside working my way towards the center of the card starting with Blueprint Sketch followed by Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I then sprayed water onto the card and left it to dry.

For the background, I ink blended the top half of another piece of white cardstock of the same size with Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks and I sprayed water onto the card. Once the foreground was dry, I white heat embossed the sentiment and air bubbles onto the card.

I stamped images pulled from the Fintastic Friends, Tropical Scenes, and Kiddie Pool sets. I colored the sea animals, divers, sea plants, and coral bed with Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I marked the framed area on the background and glued on the sea plants. I then attached the frame onto the background with foam tape. I finished off the card by adding the cute sea animals, divers, and coral bed.

Out On A Limb Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha with you today, sharing a cute slimline card featuring the new Out dOn A Limb dies. This is a lovely branch die-cut with intricate details in the leaves. I decided to turn it into a whimsical tree :)

I started by sponging distress inks to a white panel. Flick some ink. Die-cut the rectangle using the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies. Sponge another panel using mowed lawn and salvaged patina distress ink, die-cut the grassy border using the Slimline Nature Border dies. Adhere to the sponged panel.

Die-cut the branch and the leaves using Out On A Limb dies, color using copic markers. Stamp the images, die-cut and color using copic markers. I used Bunnyville Stamp and coordinating dies and the Little Birdie stamps and coordinating dies. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Lovey Dovey stamps using coral and pink ink. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. I die-cut the sentiment two more times using the dies and stacked them all together.

Assemble the images to create the scene. Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya her. I am back on the blog with another fun project using the latest release. The new Out on a Limb die set pairs perfectly with the new Cherry Blossoms, Little Birdie and A Bird’s Life stamp sets. But, it is also perfect for creating adorable jungle scenes! 

I first started off by ink blending a mini slimline sized cardstock using Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple and Ripe Persimmon distress oxide inks. For the grass, I ink blended a piece of green cardstock with Forest Amos’s distress oxide ink. 

Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Silly Sloths, Tropical Scenes and Critter Campout stamp sets. 

Then, I ink blended the Out on a Limb die cuts as well :) I arranged all the images on the background using foam and finished it off by adding a sentiment from Silly Sloths and Chloe Alphabet dies. 

That’s it! Happy Crafting folks!

Words of Gratitude Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here with an autumn theme card featuring our Words Of Gratitude stamp set. Have you ever wished to create sentiments to express your feelings? then this set is perfect. It has so many sentiments and the fonts go very well together. I made my own expression by combining four sentiments :)

To start, I created the background by lightly brushing white ink to a yellow cardstock. Emboss this piece using the Cable Knit embossing folder. Now simply brush wild honey distress oxide ink to enhance the embossed part. I then adhered it to a white card and flick some pink paint.

Die-cut the frame using the Snowflake Circle Frame. Add gold watercolor to it and adhere to a piece of vellum. Die-cut leaves from the new Winter Greenery die using watercolor paper. Add picked raspberry, wild honey distress ink with a water-brush and also some gold watercolor. 

Stamp the sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp to the vellum part. Adhere the frame to the card and then adhere all the leaves. To finish, adhere some Iridescent Jewels.

Thanks for dropping by! Have a nice day.

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card using the new release! I am still in summer mode so I decided to make a watermelon themed card using just circle dies! But full disclosure.. this one didn’t turn out exactly how I planned in my mind. You cannot really make out the watermelon slice and it does look a bit messy but I still think its a fun way to stretch your supplies and I also mentioned some ways in which you can avoid the mistakes I made!

I first started off by stamping and coloring multiple images from the following sets:

• Beach Buddies and Beach Babies for all the critters and beach paraphernalia
• Tropical Scenes and Tiki Time for foliage and palm tree

For the watermelon slice, I die cut three semi circles using three consecutive dies from Stitched Circle Small and Stitched Circle Large die sets. I ink blended the three circles using red and green dye inks. For the seeds, I simply drew them using a black alcohol marker and added extra details using a white gel pen! I then arranged all the stamped critters around the melon. 

Now for the mistakes to avoid: 

• Place the critters farther away from the melon so that the melon is visible! I don’t think you can really make it out now..
• Draw the seeds after placing the sentiment so that it doesn’t look too crowded and messy :) 

For the sentiment, I simply using the Loopy Letters die heat embossed sentiments from the new Words of Gratitude. 

That’s it! I hope you liked this fun card :) Check back tomorrow for more inspiration! Happy Crafting.
