Frilly Frame Polka Dot Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back with this magical birthday card featuring cute fairies and chicky peacocks. I've had this idea of turning the turkeys from Turkey Day into peacocks since the set was released, so I'm very happy to finally be sharing this bright and colorful card with you.

I started off by stamping all the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in yellow, green and aqua, which is my favorite color combination at the moment.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Turkey Day - peacocks • Tulip Path Background - butterflies • Garden Fairy - fairies, flowers • Garden Critters - grass.

Next I worked on the background and started by cutting two 4,5 x 3,25 inches panels out of aqua cardstock using the second largest Stitched Rectangle die. On the first aqua panel, I used the polka dot die from the Frilly Frame Polka Dot die set to cut a million circles out of it, and then I attached that panel to the second aqua panel using liquid glue. Next I cut more tiny circles out of green, yellow and aqua cardstock using the same die, and then filled each circle spot on the aqua panel with my colorful tiny circles. It was quite a tedious task but I think it's totally worth it, I really love the result.

I added some texture to my polka dot panel: I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to splatters all over it, I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz for a touch of gold, and then the same again with peacock feathers distress spritz to match with the peacocks.

I cut a 5,25 x 4 inches scalloped panel out of shiny turquoise cardstock using the other die from the Frilly Frame Polka Dot die set, and attached my polka dot panel to it using 1mm foam tape. Next I stuck my scalloped panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel using 1mm foam tape again, and then the whole thing to a white card base using liquid glue.

For my greeting, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 die set, and cut the different pieces out of cardstock that match with the images. I white heat embossed "Hoping you day is magical" from Garden Fairy on the main piece, assembled the banner using 1mm foam squares, attached it right at the top of my panel, and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added white blizzard nuvo drops to the fairies and butterflies wings to finish my card. 

And that's it! I hope that those cute peacocks have inspired you to create your own colorful birdies. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Buffalo Plaid Die Focused Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this trio of colorful Thank You cards showcasing the Buffalo Plaid Straight die and Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die. I used the cute turkeys from Turkey Day only one time last year, so I thought it would be nice to bring them back during this year's autumn season. And as you may already know, I looove to stamp and color images on kraft cardstock, especially on fall cards, so these cards were another occasion for me to have some fun, and I hope these will inspire you to try to do some coloring on kraft, if you haven't already.

And speaking of which, I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers using a red, orange, yellow, green and brown color palette.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Turkey Day - turkeys, pumpkins, cup, leaves, slice of pie • Beautiful Autumn - oak leaf, acorn • Fall Friends - acorn • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut three panels out of kraft cardstock using the Mini Mat & Tag 4 die, and I stenciled them using the Diagonal & Straight Stripes stencils along with a different color palette for each panel. On the first panel, I used vintage photo, fossilized amber and peeled paint oxide inks. On the second panel, I used fossilized amber, rusty hinge and lumberjack plaid oxide inks. And on the third panel, I used vintage photo, lumberjack plaid and rusty hinge oxide inks. I mixed some ground espresso oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters on my panels, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I cut three 4,5 x 3,25 inches Stitched Rectangles out of dark brown cardstock, and attached a panel on each dark brown panel using 1mm foam squares, and then each panel on a 5 x 3,75 inches Gingham Jewel Tones panel using liquid glue.

I attached my images on each panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, tied some twine at the bottom of each panel, right below the images, and then worked on the greetings. I stamped three different sentiments from Words Of Gratitude on brown cardstock using black versafine ink, and trimmed them into slim banners. Next I white heat embossed "Thanks" from Big Bold Greetings three times on dark brown cardstock, cut them using the matching die, and then attached all those pieces of my cards using 1mm and 2mm foam squares again.

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely set of cards. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
