Winter Greenery Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Today I’m showing you a card filled with lots of die-cut elements. 

At the center of my card is the Wood Barrel Die, which I colored using Distress Oxide Inks. I filled the Wood Barrel with die cuts from the Winter Greenery Dies, also colored with Distress Oxide Inks.

For my sentiment, I used the word "Holiday" from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set and die-cut the word "greetings" using the Greetings Word Die. For the background, I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die.

And just like that, my holiday greeting card is complete!

Designer's Choice: Special Day Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and for this designer’s choice I created a special ‘easel’ birthday card mixing several sets.

Starting off with a white square card base and adding several layers using the fun Scalloped Square 1 Dies Small (in white card stock and vellum) and Stitched Square Dies (in teal glitter paper and white card stock). The smallest white square is also dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts Folder.  

I glued all the layers together and before adhering them to the card base, I scored the front of this base horizontally in half. That way, I can add the squares only to the bottom part of the base to create the ‘easel mechanism’.

On the inside of the base I adhered a ‘stopper’ consisting of a rectangle of white card stock on which I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ from Everyday Greetings with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a scalloped white banner strip made by using one of the Ribbon & Lace Borders. When you ‘fold’ the front of the card base, the stopper will make sure your easel card is standing up perfectly.

A special birthday deserves a wonderful and festive cake! I selected a two-tiered one decorated with beautiful flowers (Special Day) and colored the image with my Copics in teal, pink and yellow tones. The blue ’70 candles’ make this cake even more amazing! I love how you can provide that extra accent with the numbers.

The cake was mounted to the embossed panel with foam tape for dimension. As extra decoration, I added white leaves from the Winter Greenery Die set and a few Crystal Clear Jewels scattered around the focal point.

I hope you like this card design and give it a try! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Spring Garden Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the fun Spring Garden dies! This set includes a variety of cute flowers and all the tools a gardener would need. I decided to go for a pastel Easter card, combining the dies with two adorable bunnies from Bunnyville. They are sized perfectly to fit inside the watering can and flowerpot!

I started with a white card base and a purple flower frame made from a sheet of the Flirty Flowers papers. After cutting a panel with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die, I used the largest of the Stitched Arched dies.

We are creating a little flower garden scene, so I also made two grassy borders with one of the Mini Grass Border dies and inked them with Distress Oxide Lucky Clover. Next, I pulled out the Picket Fence die. I love how the white of the fence gives extra dimension to the grass portion of this card. I kept my background fairly neutral with some soft yellow clouds (Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and a cloud stencil from my stash). The two bunnies from Bunnyville where colored in grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Then it was time for a bunch of die cutting, I used a sheet of white Neenah paper and did my ink blending in happy Spring colors (Distress Oxide Squeezed lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet, Lucky Clover).

After assembling the garden tools and flowers with some liquid glue, I arranged all the elements on the card panel. Next, I decided where I would stamp my sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After gluing the cloud panel to the card base, I added the grass borders and the fence. Next, I popped up the flower frame with foam tape. Then I added all my garden elements and bunnies. To create a garland for the top of the arch I used flowers from the Spring Garden dies and some purple leaves made with one of the Winter Greenery dies.

A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added for some fun bling. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the versatile Sprawling Surfaces stamp set which will be a staple in my stash for sure! I love that you get three different textures, so the possibilities are endless.

I had been wanting to use the adorable houses from the Charming City for a while and they are the perfect match for the brick pavement. Since I incorporated several fun colors for the houses, my card base and frame needed to be more muted. To start, I created a simple white base and cut a panel with the border die from Frilly Frames Chevron and a tiled paper (Subtle Grey Tones pad). The largest Stitched Arched Die creates the perfect opening for any scene and you’ll end up with a an arched frame and an inner piece that I put aside for another project.

Next, I stamped the row of houses from Charming City and the cycling cuties from Bighearted Bears. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen. This time I opted for a more Mediterranean vibe and houses in bright colors.

For my background, I stamped the brick pavement onto a piece of white Neenah paper and used some more Copics in matching pink shades. The sky portion was ink blended with Distress Oxide Victorian Velvet.

I glued the background to my card base and added the row of houses directly above the brick pavement. Then I could mount the grey frame with foam tape. That instantly creates lots of dimension. Lastly, I placed the cute bears in front of the houses.

My sentiment (Heartfelt Wishes) was stamped in a purple die ink onto a white Brilliant Banner 2. It fitted perfectly above the row of houses. As extra embellishments I added a few white hearts (Bursting Hearts die), some leaves (Winter Greenery dies) and small flowers (Spring Garden dies).

I am sure you will create amazing projects with these great surface stamps! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Woolen Mitten Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with an adorable winter theme card featuring the Woolen Mitten Dies. This die is big and first I thought of creating a shaped card as it's perfect size but then I went for the layering style and loved the result. 

I started by sponging salvaged patina ink to a white card. Next I die-cut a white card using the Frilly Frames Herringbone die. Use this piece as stencil and sponged peacock feathers distress ink through it. Die-cut a white border from the Fancy Frames Rectangle die. Adhere to the card.

Next I started by die-cutting and stamping all the elements. Colored the snowmen using watercolors. Sponged various inks to the leaves and flowers.

Mitten, snowflakes, poinsettia, holly leaves - Woolen Mitten Dies
Circle - Stitched Circle Small dies
Leaves - Winter Greenery dies
Snowmen - Snowman Kisses stamps and dies
Sentiment - Inside Greetings Holidays

Emboss the snowflakes using WOW! gilded embossing powder. Assemble all the elements, flick white paint. To finish, add some clear drops.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
