Oceans Of Joy Birthday Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with my first card using the wonderful new release! I am in love with all the sets!! I had to close my eyes and pick the first set to play with, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to decide :) Here is what I came up with using Oceans of Joy.

What are the eight arms good for? Holding balloons, of course! I started with a panel of watercolor paper that I trimmed slightly smaller than the blue card base and applied various blue watercolors to it to create my background. After it was dried, I adhered it to the card. 

Now I stamped the octopus and the balloons, colored them with Copics, die-cut the images with the coordinating Oceans Of Joy dies and adhered them to the card with foam tape. After I had drawn the strings with a black marker, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, notched the ends and adhered it with foam tape. 

So, I hope you liked today's idea! Can't wait to show you the rest of the cards made with the new release :) Thanks for visiting!

A Bird's Life Floral Background Card with Amy

Happy Wednesday friends! Amy here sharing a card that features the new stamp set, A Bird's Life and a set from last month's release, Friends & Family. I thought these two paired very nicely together to create a flower background, setting the stage for the birdhouses.

To create the front panel, I trimmed smooth white cardstock to 5"x 3.75". Using a Misti Tool, I placed the birdhouses and the sentiment where I wanted them to go and stamped it using black ink. To create a flower background, I stamped a variety of the bold flowers and leaves with pastel dye inks. I stamped them around the birdhouses, spacing them as evenly as I could. I did this using the stamps in the order of largest to smallest. This allows the smaller stamps to fill in the open areas.

I wanted this card to have some dimension so I stamped the birdhouses and the cute little birds on the smooth white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I also stamped the bows with dye ink and die-cut all of them using the coordinating A Bird's Life dies. Then, I went back to the front panel and drew a line with a green Gelly Pen from the top of the card to the roof of the birdhouses. To finish my card, I added foam adhesives behind all the images and adhered them to the front. Isn't this card tweet? I hope you like it!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope you have an awesome day! See you next Wednesday.

A Bird's Life Grid Design Card with Karin

Hi everyone, it's Karin here. I'm back to share a new card that I've created with Sunny Studio Stamps adorable new summer release! For today's card I used a super sweet set called A Bird's Life.

I simply die cut a stitched scalloped square and then stamped 4 of the cute bird houses in each of the corners. I stamped the sentiment to the center before I stamped, colored and die cut a bunch of the adorable birdies from the set using the coordinating A Bird's Life dies. When I had them all ready I placed them out where I thought they fit the best and used tape adhesive to tape them to the card - so fun playing with these cuties. 

I then made a card base with a blue panel matted to it before I adhered the scalloped square to the card with foam adhesive.

Pirate Pals Birthday Card with Eloise

Hello everyone! Eloise here and today I have a fun card using the new Pirate Pals stamp set. This is such a great stamp set for boy cards, it's super adorable and so much fun to colour! Today I decided to go ahead and create my own sort of patterned paper with all the stamps and colour them with Copic markers.

To begin my card I stamped out all my images on a piece of white cardstock. I wanted to feature all three of the pirates, so I began with stamping those 3 first, in a triangle. Then I could fill in with the rest of the images. I again started off with the bigger images I wanted to use, so the barrel, ship, map etc and stamped those around most of the places. Now for any medium sized gaps I used the parrot to fill in and also the telescope. Then for any tiny gaps I pulled in the skull and crossbones and also the anchor. That made my background really full and not to have much white space. You could even go a step further and use the coins and other smaller images in the stamp set and fill in more, but I was satisfied with this look. Once all my images were stamped, I could colour them in.

When I first started the card I thought I wanted to go down the watercolour route, but I wasn't liking how it turned out so I re-stamped and went the Copic route. Now I knew this was going to take a long time to colour with heavy blending Copic colouring, so to make it go faster I decided to only use two markers, and not even blend properly. I just coloured the section with the lighter marker first, then went in on the sides where I think the shadows would be and just drew a line, or traced the outline of the image, to make it appear it has a shadow, and in the end after all the colouring was done, one it looked great for a background, without perfect Copic colouring and two, it took half the time.

Once the colouring was done, I felt like it didn't pop enough. So I took two very light blue Copic markers and traced roughly around the outside of the images, and that just took the background to a whole other level and made it look even more amazing.

To finish up my card I adhered my coloured piece to a yellow piece of cardstock and then onto a card base. For my sentiment I white heat embossed the sentiment that reads 'Shiver Me Timbers! I Hear It's Your Birthday!' and I did that on some dark blue cardstock. I cut a fishtail banner at one end of the piece and then tied a hemp cord bow around the other end and adhered it to the card with foam tape and that finished up my card for today.

I hope you enjoyed and got inspired! I'm absolutely loving this new release, I hope you are too! Check out the rest of the week for more inspiration using the new release!
