Cruising Critters Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends! Angelica here with a great thank you card featuring the Cruising Critters stamp set.

I stamped and Copic colored the critters, then used the coordinating die to die-cut it. The Cruising Critters stamp set has several words to put together for different themes. I put together a Thanks sentiment, and stamped it in a die-cut speech bubble from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. I die-cut a second gold speech bubble, and attached the sentiment on top, exposing a little gold at the bottom.

I picked a blue pattern paper from the Heroic Half Tones Paper Pack, and cut it to 4 x 5.25. I added a strip of gold washi tape to the bottom of the paper, then attached it to a card base with foam adhesive. I attached the critters and speech bubble with thin foam squares to finish the card.

I hope I have given you ideas for this adorable stamp set. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends! It's Juliana here today to share a new for me interactive card featuring a hidden pull tab! I combined this with the adorable Cruising Critters Stamp Set, so that when you pull the tab, the sentiment is revealed and the little critters go cruising along! Let me share with you how it all came together.

To get started, I stamped, colored and die cut the Cruising Critters image and the sun from the Sunny Sentiments Stamp Set and set them to the side. I then began working on how to create the hidden pull tab feature. I watched a few videos to see what might work best and came up with the following plan.

Background Panel: I selected a piece of blue gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) for the background. I then took a blue grid paper (Gingham Pastels) and die cut it using one of the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. Next, I took a blue polka dot paper (Dots and Stripes Pastels) and cut it with a different Fluffy Clouds Border Die. Then, I took one of the Woodland Border Dies and cut a piece of green grid paper (Gingham Pastels). Finally, I cut a strip of grey polka dot paper (Polka Dot Parade). Put this piece to the side for later.

I then layered each of these to create the scene adhered all of them together EXCEPT for the grey polka dot and then I took the stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals and die cut them. The die cut through all 4 layers of paper with no problems! When placing the green grass area, make sure to leave at least 1.75 inches of paper below the top of the die cut so you have room for the pull tab mechanism.

Pull Tab Mechanism: To create this, I used a ruler and pencil to help me draw 2 slits on each edge of the background panel. They are 0.25 inches from the bottom and 0.5 inches from each side. Each slit is 0.5 inches tall and about 1/8” wide. I then used a craft knife to cut through the layers to create the slit.

Next, I took a plastic treat bag and cut a strip of it that was slightly thinner than 0.5 inches and long enough to go through both slits and wrap around the back. I used a tape runner to adhere the ends together and trimmed off any excess. Make sure to place this taped section toward the left slit on the backside of the card. Add double sided foam tape on the outer side of each of the slits and cut a piece in half and place it below the plastic strip.  At this time, you can cut 2 cardstock strips to 0.5 x 1.25” and adhere them to the backside of the plastic strip. Add foam tape to the top of these. This is where the card will be attached. Play around with the exact placement of these tabs so that your car slides.

Flip the panel over and adhere your pull tab. I used a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 0.5” wide and then I trimmed off the excess once I had my card completed and the sentiment stamped on the pull tab. Next, take double sided foam tape, cut it in half and adhere a piece above and below the pull tab on the backside. This helps hold the slider in place. You can also add a piece of fun foam to the backside , above the top piece of foam tape, so the panel is flat against your card base.

Once the pull tab mechanism was completed, I could add the grey polka dot paper. I used the stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals to cut the paper and then used my paper cut to trim a strip from this to 11/8 inches tall.

I then adhered the Cruising Critters image to the pull tab mechanism making sure the tires where on the road! I then added the sun and the cruising die cut that comes with the Cruising Critters Die Set. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment onto the pull tab and then mounted the entire panel onto a piece of green cardstock cut to 4.25x5.5 inches.

I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this hidden pull tab card using the Cruising Critters Stamp Set. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Super Duper Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello crafty friends, Leanne here! We are featuring a super fun stamp set on the blog today. I have created a comic book style card using these playful images along with some of the new dies and pattern paper. Since I have a shortage of boy themed cards in my ready-to-go card stash, I chose to combine primary colors with black and grey along with the boy images from Super Duper. However, this design could just as easily be themed for a girl by using more feminine colors and the girl images. 

First I covered my A2 size card base with a black and gray halftone pattern from the Heroic Halftones paper pad. Next I added the die cut white frame. This frame die is included in the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set. I stamped and Copic colored two super heroes and several stars from the Super Duper stamp set. I die cut the images using the coordinating Super Duper dies. I die cut the Cityscape Border from black card stock and backed it with yellow card stock.  

I arranged the images, cityscape, and die cut speech bubbles inside the comic strip windows. I only used a portion cityscape and tucked the edges behind the frame. The main images are also slightly tucked under the frame. I really love how these small individual scenes give the card an authentic comic book vibe. I stamped some basic super hero themed sentiments onto the speech bubbles to allow this card to be used for different occasions. It's always good to have a few cards like this on hand.

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m using the Super Duper Stamp Set to create a ‘You’re My Hero’ card. This could be used as a Father’s Day Card, Thank You Card, etc. I paired it with the new Cityscape Dies and Fluffy Cloud Border Dies as well to help complete the scene.

I started off with stamping out my images from Super Duper and colouring them in with Copic Markers. I cut them out and while I had my die cutting machine out, I cut the Fluffy Cloud Border Dies and Fancy Frames Rectangles Dies from white and then the Cityscape Die and Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies from black.

(Copic Markers Used: E71, E74, E77, E79 / E41, E42, E43, E44 / R00, R30 / 0 / W2, W3, W5, W7 / Y11, Y15, Y19, YR23 / B91, B93, B95, B97 / R14, R24, R27, R89 / E000, E00, E21, E02)

I then cut down a piece of yellow starburst paper from Heroic Halftones to the size of my card front. I then used the white frame, flipped it over and adhered the clouds at the top and the cityscape at the bottom, I adhered foam tape onto the back and adhered it into place. I then took the super heroes and adhered them with foam tape too.

I then white heat embossed the ‘You’re My Super Hero’ sentiment onto the black speech bubble and also adhered it into place. Lastly, I scattered a few of the Primary Star Confetti around to match the colours used in the colouring.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you all enjoyed and I’ll see you next week.

Woodsy Autumn Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with an autumn themed card that will be great for a dear friend. Using a brand new Woodsy Autumn Stamp and the coordinating die. Together with another older stamp sets, I create a darling scene that I adore so much. Let's get started!

I stamp all the images with Versafine black ink and use color pencils to color them. After finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut all of the images. I blend the background with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks then add some white fluffy clouds using Fluffy Cloud Dies. 

Then I adhere all the images to create the scene, I lay them flat without any foam tapes because I will use the Fall Flicks Filmstrip Dies as the frame. I love the result. I also stamp the sentiment from Happy Harvest Stamps with Versafine black ink for a crisp look. Last step is to add a pretty yellow jewels to add shine on my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Don't forget to leave some comments and love below. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hello! It's Rachel here and I am excited to share a card with you today featuring the new Woodsy Autumn Stamp Set.

To start, I created a box base and layered it with some patterned paper from the new Colorful Autumn Paper Pad. I then added some grass using the grass die from the Sunny Sentiment Dies and green card stock.

I stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored with Copics and used the coordinating Woodsy Autumn Dies to cut them out. I also added some pumpkins and a tree stump from the Happy Harvest Stamp Set and a raccoon from the Critter Campout Stamps.

Lastly, I adhered all of my images with some liquid adhesive to help maintain their position and then added my sentiment onto a small strip of white card stock.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a lovely weekend!
