Pirate Pals Belated Pirate Birthday Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here with a card starring the brand new stamp set called Pirate Pals and it's coordinating dies. I'm really in love with this set, which is a perfect one for boy cards. All the elements are just perfect to create a scene. You also can pair it up with some other older stamp sets.

As for my card, I use the island and a tree from Island Getaway to build up my scene where the little pirate finally found his treasure. I colored this little boy to look like Peter Pan, and I think it turned out pretty cute. And I must say that I love the brand new Stitched Scalloped Dies because you can use it two ways. Both as a stitched scalloped border, or just like I did with this card, a stitched wavy border. Cute! 

I blended some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feather Distress inks for the background. All the images are stamped with black Versafine ink and I watercolored them all with Distress Markers. Last but not least, I layered my card on a piece of burlap patterned paper, to match all the brown in the center image.

I hope you enjoy today's post. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Perfect Popsicles Summery Popsicle Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with a summery, fresh popsicle card combining the Perfect Popsicles stamps with a fizzy watercolor background.

I started with a card base made from watercolor paper. Using the ink smooshing technique, I applied yellow and pink watercolors onto the front of my card. After it was dried, I adhered a strip of yellow striped patterned paper to the bottom. Then I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock and adhered it. 

Now I stamped the popsicle onto a piece of white cardstock, die-cut it with the coordinating Perfect Popsicles dies and adhered it with foam tape. I stamped the drops and finished the card off with sequins.

Is it time for summer and popsicles yet? Ha, I wish! We had a comeback of snow last week! Brrr. Wishing you a lot of sunshine! Thanks for stopping by :)

Magical Mermaid Suspended Shaker Card with Amy

Hello friends! Amy here to share with you a fun suspended shaker card using the lovable Magical Mermaid stamp set.

I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating Magical Mermaid dies. I then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment "you Mermaid to be awesome" on heat resistant acetate and adhered it to a frame. This served as the window for the shaker card. I distressed the background with Distress inks and added splatters of water on trimmed watercolor cardstock.

Here comes the fun part. I suspended the jellyfish so that they don't turn upside down when the card is shaken but still move around in a controlled motion. I did this by taping clear thread behind the adorable jellyfish, and loosely sandwiching the thread on the top and the bottom of the foam adhesive (shown below). After adding the fish and some clear sparkly beads, I adhered the shaker window to distressed panel. I'm glad I went with the clear beads because when the card is shaken it reminds me of bubbles and currents in the ocean. I also had fun watching the jellyfish bobbing around.

To finish, I added the mermaid (she's so sweet, I just love her) and the rest of the images to the front of the card. The idea of the suspended stamped images was inspired by a video Jennifer Mcguire shared on Instagram, to read more about it on her blog click here. 

I hope you like today's card. Thank you for stopping by!

Two Scoops Summery Ice Cream Card with Karin

Hi everyone, it's Karin here today. I am here to share a new, very summery card that I've created with the newest release! This is an awesome layering stamp set called Two Scoops. 

I started out by making a card base from white cardstock and matting it with pink striped patterned paper. I then stamped my ice cream from three different shades of pink and then the cone from two different light browns and then die cut them with the coordinating Two Scoops dies. It is so fun to see them develop into their 3d look as you stamp each layer! The ink and paper I used are from MFT stamps.

I then inked a panel of white cardstock with Peacock Feathers distress ink and stamped the sentiment in the top right hand corner. I adhered the ice cream cone to the panel with foam adhesive and did the same with the panel to the card base.

Oceans of Joy Birthday Fishes Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card featuring the new Oceans of Joy stamp set. I love ocean themed stamp sets and this one is so cute. The images are absolutely adorable and there are so many ideas that I have for this stamp set! I'm also pulling in the Stitched Scallop dies and also Magical Mermaids for a few other accents to make my scene.

To begin my card today I stamped and coloured all my images from the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids stamp set. I used Copic markers for my colouring today as they're so quick and easy. Once everything was coloured I used all the coordinating dies to cut them all out.

Once all my images were done I could work on my background. I used a few colours of Color Burst powders from Ken Oliver for my background today, I first tapped the powers in my palette and then added some drops of water to be able to use like regular watercolours. I then water coloured my background with the colour. I dried it with a heat tool, added some water splatters and dried it again. I then cut the top of my piece with the Stitched Scallop dies and then cut down the entire panel using a paper trimmer. For my sand piece, I repeated the same step as before and then just stamped the sand bank border with some black ink and trimmed it out on the black line. I then adhered it down onto the bottom of my water coloured panel.

I arranged all my images onto my scene with flat and dimensional adhesive. I then lined up my panel onto my white card base and before adhering down my panel I stamped the 'Birthday Fishes' sentiment onto it with more black ink and then adhered down my panel with more foam tape. For a last finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella onto a few of the images and that completed my card.

I hope you enjoyed and are enjoying this new release!
