Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this Savanna Safari birthday card inspired by the Bighearted Bears card I made a few weeks ago. Once in a while, I like to look back at my cards to see which design I could recreate. Well, this time, I didn't have to look too far in the past, and thought that the tall and long rectangle windows were just perfect for the giraffe and her friends!

I started off by creating the background using some dies and pattern papers. I cut the frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden pattern paper using the main die from Comic Strip Speech Bubble. I kept the frame only and attached it on a Sweater Weather turquoise pattern paper using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green pattern paper. This time I kept the inside pieces only, and used the Mini Grass Border die to cut four grass borders that I attached at the bottom of each section using 1mm foam squares.

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used:

• Savanna Safari: giraffe, lion, zebra, toucan

• Fabulous Flamingos: tropical leaves

• Love Birds: branch, small leaves

• Chickie Baby & Chubby Bunny: flowers

• Love Monkey: vine

When the coloring was done, I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed my "Have a wild day" greeting from Savanna Safari on a slim aqua banner I cut using a die from Notebook Photo Corners, and tucked it on the top right hand corner of my panel using foam squares again.

As always I finished my card with highlights and details using a white gel pen, and a little bit of morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts to make them shine. And that's it! 

I hope that my card will inspire you to search for inspiration among your own projects. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Puddle Jumpers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am so done with those dark winter days! I had a lot of fun creating a happy Spring card with the adorable Puddle Jumpers stamp and die set! Those ducks are just the cutest! This time I went with a ‘new to me’ color combination and I really love how the yellow, purple, and green work together.

My card panel is a mini slim line that I cut from white Neenah card stock and a die that I grabbed in my stash. It was the perfect fit for the three puddles and the rest of the scene. I inked the top portion of the panel with Distress Oxide  Victorian Velvet (love that muted pink!) and a cloud stencil.

For this card, I envisioned a whole family of cute ducks on their way to mail a birthday card, together with the sweet girl from the same Puddle Jumpers stamp. The mailbox and letter are part of the Bighearted Bears set which is perfect for so many occasions!

As usual, I colored all the images with my copics in the chosen color combo. When I start a new project, I lay the cut images across the scene and decide for each of them which color from the chosen palette I am going with. Trying to spread the colors evenly and if possible, in a triangle shape.

The sentiment was selected from the Puddle Jumpers set and stamped directly to the card with Versafine Onyx Black and a purple ink from my stash. Then, I added this panel to a purple card base.

Finally, I adhered all the elements in place, starting with the puddles and the mailbox. Once they were glued down, I could arrange the girl with the umbrella and all the cute ducks! With so much going on, I decided to just add a few Crystal Clear Jewels to the sky portion.

I really enjoyed making this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Isha

Hello everyone, Isha here with a fun and whimsical card featuring the Tree Branch die. As you know me, I love to experiment with my products, so instead of having the branch horizontal, I created a vertical whimsical tree for this enchanted forest scene.

I started by sponging salty ocean distress ink to a white layer, flick some of the same ink. Die-cut the grass using the Mini Grass Border dies, sponge with mowed lawn and  twisted citron inks, flick some peeled paint ink.

Stamp the images, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating sentiments.

Gnomes - Home Sweet Gnome stamp and dies
Mushroom House - Garden Fairy stamps and dies
Bird - Love Birds stamps and dies
Bees, caterpillar - Garden Critters stamps and dies

Die-cut the branch and leaves using the Tree Branch die. Color using copic markers. Assemble the scene and adhere this panel to a white card base. I didn't use any sentiment on this card so that it can be personalized as per the need. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I have an Easter card to share today. Did you know Easter is early this year? It's on March 31st. So it's time to get started on those Easter cards! This fun one showcases how I've used the Cobblestone image from Sprawling Surfaces to create a pathway for my tulip garden scene.   

I started with an ink blended sky on an A2 card base (a combo of Broken China & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides). Next I used the Mini Grass Border and Fuffy Cloud Border to create a grass and shrub border. I used a green Copic marker and a white gel pen to add random dot detail to the grass and shrubs. I stamped the Cobblestone from Sprawling Surfaces with dark grey ink then Copic colored. I used W0 + W1 for the stones and N4 in between the stones. I then adhered the grass, pathway, and shrub border onto the card base.

Copic colors: YR01, YR02, YR12, YR14, YR18, Y11, Y17, YG11, YG13, YG17, BG11, BG13, BV01, BV02, BV04

I picked out several images from the Bunnyville stamp set to create my little garden scene. I Copic colored all these images. I die cut all the colored images with the coordinating Bunnyville dies and then adhered them onto the scene with thin foam squares so they would be popped up a bit. I hand drew the butterfly trails and lastly I added the greeting. The word "Easter" is from the Big Bunny stamp set. The die cut word "happy" is from Treat Bag Topper.

Big Bunny Card with Rachel

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a fun Easter-themed A2 sized card featuring the newly released Big Bunny Stamp Set. I love adding patterned paper to my cards when possible, so I made sure to use a gorgeous teal piece of polka dotted paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastel Paper Pack. 

All of my images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating Big Bunny Die Set to cut them out. I set them aside and then die cut a scalloped oval frame using both the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies and the second to largest Stitched Oval Dies. In order to give more dimension to my frame, I used some 3D foam adhesive tape to adhere it to the front of my card. I then added my bunny and basket into this frame using some more dimension tape.

I also added some grass using a grass-patterned piece of paper from the Spring Fever Paper Pack that I had die cut with the new Mini Grass Border Die. Next, I heat embossed part of my sentiment using some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a scrap of black card stock. I also stamped the word "greetings" with black ink onto a scrap piece of white card stock and used the matching die to cut it out. Lastly, I adhered my sentiment pieces to my card front. I adore the size of this bunny, and I hope that you do as well!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! Hugs!
