Winter Wreaths Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello Sunny friends. It’s Bobbi here with a holiday card featuring the Winter Wreaths stamps and dies. I’ve paired this wreath set with the Classy Christmas stamps and dies and the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies. 

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I splattered the card front panel with white paint on black cardstock. While the paint was drying, I stamped the evergreen wreath using a gold metallic ink on white cardstock and die cut the wreath using the coordinating die. I love that the center of the wreath is cut out with the die!

I stamped two poinsettias, two pine cones, and a number of holly leaves and berries to decorate the wreath. I also added a bow from the wreath set. I colored the images using the following Copic colors:

Reds for berries and poinsettias: R89, R46, R24, R17, R14
Greens for leaves: YG67, YG63, YG03
Browns: E59, E57, E55, E53, E40

The bow was stamped in two colors of red and the sentiment was stamped in green ink.  After cutting the images, I added gold metallic NUVO drops to the poinsettia centers and around the wreath. I also attached the one poinsettia, bow and the “Season’s Greetings” phrase using black foam tabs to make them stand out. I added more Nuvo metallic gold drops to the wreath to finish the card.

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a serene card for the Holiday season featuring the Winter Wreaths Stamps and coordinating dies. Just inking and die-cutting involved on this one which makes it fairly quick to make during these next few busy months.

I started with the background by inking a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock with Tattered Rose Distress ink at the bottom followed by Speckled Egg, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers. I placed a Forest Trees Stencil across the piece and inked it with Pumice Stone Distress ink. I adhered this piece to an A2 card base.

Next, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop from light gray cardstock and white cardstock. I adhered the gray frame portion to the card base and set the white snow (sand) portion aside. I just love how this die can also be used for winter scenes!

Before I adhered the snow, I die-cut 3 birch trees from white and dark gray cardstock using the Rustic Winter Dies. I adhered one tree to the right side of the card front and trimmed it along the top where it meets the gray frame. I then adhered the snow to the bottom and added the other 2 trees to the left side. I die-cut the deer from the Rustic Winter Dies from dark gray cardstock.

I stamped the wreath on white cardstock using Northern Pine Memento ink, the bow using Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy and Abandoned Coral Distress inks, the pine boughs using Peeled Paint Distress ink and the pinecones using Brushed Corduroy and Walnut Stain Distress inks. I die-cut all these elements using the coordinating dies.

To finish, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps with pink embossing powder on white cardstock and inked over the top with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink. I then die-cut it using the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Autumn Tree Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

They say money doesn’t grow on trees, but how about love? If you love apples, you’ll love the new Autumn Tree Dies. You can fill this tree with various leaves to make different trees and even bright red-filled apple trees. It’s Bobbi here with an apple tree card made with love using the new dies by Sunny Studio. 

I created this 5″ X 7″ card using the Autumn Trees dies and pattern papers from the Sweater Weather paper pack. I used two teal pattern papers for the background. I added the tree and attached the leaves and apples. I kept the apples on the lower branches to create “low hanging fruit.” Those are so much easier to pick later.  

I used the following colors to color the images:
Tree trunk/branches: E49, E59, E57, E55

Apples and heart: R29, R17, R14, YG00
Leaves: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG00

Did you notice the cute heart in the middle of the trunk? I used a die cut from the Bursting Hearts Die. I colored it to match the apples. I also added a little bling to the heart and the tree using the Red Zircon Jewels.

Lastly, I added a band of a Sweater Weather pattern paper. I enhanced the strip by adding white stitches using my Gelly Roll white gel pen and stamped the "Thinking of You" phrase from the Watering Can set between the stitching lines. This is a very easy card to make, but be prepared to add lots of leaves! It’s addicting.

Hey friends! Cathy here today and it looks like love is in the trees for at least one of these little squirrels!

 
To create my card, I started by die-cutting a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock using a Stitched Rectangle die. I lightly inked the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress ink on the top half of the piece and Antique Linen on the bottom half. I added a die-cut cloud using the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die. Setting this piece aside, I die-cut another piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle die and stamped the fence portion of a Fall Scenes stamp 1 1/2" from the bottom. I colored the stamped image with Copics, inked the grass below with Shabby Shutters and Crushed Olive Distress inks and heat embossed the sentiment. I then used the coordinating dies to the Fall Scenes stamps to die-cut along the fence line and adhered this piece to the bottom of the inked sky cardstock piece.

 
Next, I die-cut 2 trees and leaves using the Autumn Tree Dies and colored them with Copics. I adhered one to each side of the cardstock piece overlapping the edges and used precision tip scissors to cut carefully along the edges of the cardstock. I stamped and colored the 2 adorable little squirrels and acorns from the Squirrel Friends stamps with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

 

For the hearts above my amorous little squirrel, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and die-cut the piece using the Bursting Hearts die. This gave me a bunch of different sized hearts that I heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I adhered the panel to a light gray A2 card front.

Pumpkin Patch Die Focused Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hi Friends, Waleska here. My card for this week features one of my new favorite pumpkin dies, the Pumpkin Patch Dies, they are so fun and you can make them with or without dimension I just love them!

I started die cutting the pieces to create this beautiful pumpkins with white cardstock, I wanted to ink them with Oxide Inks.  For the leaves and stem I used green colored cardstock.  I used Ripe Persimmon and Carved Pumpkin Oxide inks to add color and dimension to the pumpkins. I used 3D Foam tape to elevate some parts too.

For the background I used Salvaged Patina Oxide Ink mixed with water with a smooshing technique on Watercolor paper.  I cut the biggest frame from the Fancy Frame Rectangles  with kraft cardstock and adhere it to the front panel.  I assemble the pumpkins in the center of my card and finally I added this panel to an orange card base.

I used the Words of Gratitude stamp set for the sentiment.  Thank you so much for stopping by remember to stay crafty because today is only lived once, do what you love and enjoy it!!!

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, thank you so much for stopping by! I'm back today with two cards, both showcasing the brand new Pumpkin Patch die set from the Fall & Winter 2022 collection. I couldn't decide if I wanted to create an autumn card or a Halloween card, so I decided to make both, using die cut pieces only.

I started by cutting all the pieces I needed to create both cards. And I knew that I wanted to use my alcohol markers to color all those bits and pieces, so I cut everything out of the same paper I always use to color my images. Besides the Pumpkin Patch die set, here are the sets I picked the different dies from:

Comic Strip Everyday: clouds, sun/moon, tree trunks, foliage
Picket Fence Border: grass border & fence
Tropical Trees Backdrop: crows/bats

For the autumn card I went with traditional pumpkins using two shades of orange, I also colored some sunflowers, leaves and swirling stems, a sun and a few clouds, some colorful trees and some birds to be crows.

And for the Halloween card I went with spooky pumpkins using two shades of purple. The sunflowers turned into bright pink flowers, I didn't add any foliage on the trees, the sun turned into the moon and the birds into bats.

Once everything was colored, I created a background for each card. I cut two 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panels, as well as two grass borders using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. For the autumn card I went with a turquoise sky using tumbled glass & peacock feathers oxide inks, and a khaki green grass border using shabby shutters & peeled paint oxide inks. And for the Halloween card, I went with dark blue shades for the sky using blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire & black soot oxide inks, and a dark green grass border using mowed lawn & rustic wilderness oxide inks.

Before assembling the cards, I white heat embossed a sentiment at the bottom of each grass border: "Hello autumn" from Fall Kiddos for the autumn card, and "Trick or treat" from Bewitching for the Halloween card. And next I attached the different elements on each panel, starting with the grass borders, and then all the bits and pieces using a combination of foam squares, glue dots & liquid glue.

And that's it! Love how they both turned out, super cute and bright. I hope you like them too! As always you will find more information and details in the process video, so feel welcome to check it out! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Baby Elephants Cards with Anja Bytyqi

Hi everyone, Anja here and I'm so honored to be back again as a guest designer. Today I'm featuring the absolutely adorable Baby Elephants Stamps. For my first card, I created a summer scene by combining two of the elephants with the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die.

First, I created an A2 landscape card base from white heavyweight cardstock. I then die cut all the pieces for my beach scene and started on working on the background. I masked off the bottom to create a horizont and stenciled the clouds with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. The gradient ink blending for the water was done with Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I colored the sand (Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap) and palm trees (Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Frayed Burlap, Gathered Twigs, Black Soot) with Distress Oxide Inks as well. The sea gulls were die cut from light grey cardstock.

I stamped the elephants in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the coordinating Baby Elephants Dies. The sentiment (Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps) was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a turquoise cardstock strip and heat embossed in white.

Finally, I assembled the scene by adhering the die cuts and images. I layered two of the white stitched frames on top of each other for a bit of dimension.

Of course, I also had to make a Baby card with the sweet elephant sleeping in the clouds.

I started off with a lilac A2 card base and picked the purple starry patterned paper from the Surprise Party 6x6 Paper Pack. I die cut it with the full-size A2 stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set. To create a window opening, I used the second largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies.

For the purple night sky background, I did some circular ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks (Villainous Potion, Wilted Violet and Milled Lavender). I used the cloudy border from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies set and cut it from white cardstock. I added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the top edge.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with their matching dies. I arranged and glued down everything behind the semi-circle window and popped up the starry patterned paper panel with foam tape.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock fishtail banner and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered it below the elephant image to finish off my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing weekend!

Tropical Trees Backdrop Die Focused Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a summer card combining the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies with various sets.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than the card base. Now I used the Swimming Pool Die to trim off the edge of the water. I inked the bottom part with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide ink to create the beach, masking off the sky with masking paper I cut with the Slimline Nature Borders Dies and inked the top part with Tumbled Glass ink. Now I inked a smaller panel with the blue ink, too and adhered it behind the beach panel and onto the card. I stamped the images and die-cut the palm tree, colored everything with Copic markers, die-cut the images with the matching dies and adhered all elements to the card. 

Again, I used a variety of sets:
Beach Babies stamps + dies
Sealiously Sweet stamps + dies
Passionate Penguins stamps + dies
Tiki Time stamps
Chloe Alphabet Dies
Tropical Trees Backdrop
Swimming Pool Dies

Now I die-cut the letters, inked them with the same ink I used for the water, matted them with black letters to create a shadow and adhered them. After I had die-cut and added the clouds, I finally stamped the rest of the sentiment.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Thanks for visiting!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a tropical nighttime scene to share with you!

I started off by inking a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5" with Distress inks in Villainous Potion, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin, then I splattered with some clean water and some metallic watercolor to add some extra interest. I die cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop and a trio of palm trees and clouds from black cardstock and glued everything down with a glue pen. I added a tiny car from the Comic Strip Everyday die set, which coordinates perfectly with a sentiment from the Country Carnival stamp set. 

To finish off the night sky, I added a scattering of white starts die cut using the Basic Mini Shape Dies II die set and then added some white gel pen accents to the clouds. This simple card packs a punch with the high contrast of the bright sunset sky and the dark die cuts.
