Savanna Safari Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a birthday card using Savanna Safari. To showcase this cute set, I decided to create a tri-fold card:

Folded, it's the same size as a normal card, but it opens to this:

I first inked the background of the card base with Distress Oxide Inks and applied ink droplets before folding it twice. Then I die-cut the little hill from Tropical Scenes, inked it and applied ink droplets before adhering it to the card. Now I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered them to the card.

For this card, I used various stamp sets + dies:

Savanna Safari + matching dies (critters, sentiment)

Silly Sloths + matching dies (leaves)

Magical Mermaids + matching dies (rock)

Tropical Scenes dies (sandy island)

Fabulous Flamingos + matching dies (feathered leaves)

Spring Showers + matching dies (clouds)

Purrfect Birthday + matching dies (party hat)

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto dark brown cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed the strips from the panel and adhered the pieces to the card.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm sharing a birthday card made with the adorable Savanna Safari Stamps. Of course I had to create a sunset scene.

I started off with a light brown A2 card base and an extra panel from where I cut out a window with the biggest Stitched Semi-Circles Die. For the sunset background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberry. The grass was done with Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn.

Next, I stamped the critters and a couple of leaves (Fabulous Flamingos Stamps) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I added details to the lion with Prismacolor pencils and cut out the images with the coordinating dies. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I adhered the window panel over the ink blended background with foam tape. I tucked the leaves behind the window and popped up the zebra and toucan as well. To finish off the card, I added two black die-cut hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having an amazing day!

Sea You Soon Cards with Tammy and Ana

Hi friends, Tammy here! Today, I'm sharing a card featuring Sea You Soon from the new summer release. I combined it with the Tropical Scenes and Best Fishes to create a fun underwater scene. I absolutely love this little set; it’s the perfect addition to complete your ocean or underwater themed cards!

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", and ink blended it with Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some water onto my background and blotted it up, then I added some watered down Peacock Feathers ink onto my background with a paintbrush. Once dry, I attached my panel to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" white card base.

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out the images with the following sets: Sea You Soon (shark on top, octopus, small fish), Tropical Scenes, Best Fishes (crab, starfish, clown fish, hammerhead, shark, sentiment). 

I arranged the images onto my card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension. To finish my card, I stamped the sentiment from Best Fishes onto black cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Sea you soon, lol!

Hi lovely friends! Ana here today with an ocean themed card showcasing Sea You Soon stamps and coordinating dies as well as Stitched Arch dies and Tropical Scenes stamps and dies, all from the new summer release. I have to admit ocean themed cards are my favorite to make and this one was no exception!

To create my card, I started with the arched window opening. I partially die cut second largest of the Stitched Arch dies, then extended it a bit on the bottom and partially die cut again to create longer arched window.

For my background I used Catch A Wave dies and Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass distress inks. After blending the inks, I added some water splatters then used snow pen to add white caps. For the sky on top of the scene I used clouds patterned paper from Summer Splash paper pack.

I stamped and colored the images from Sea You Soon and Tropical Scenes sets, then cut them with coordinating dies.

I assembled the background behind the arch window first, added the coral reef and the fishes then stamped the sentiment with black ink in the middle of the scene. I added Nuvo drops in morning dew to create the bubbles, then framed the card panel with Frilly Frames Herringbone outline die.

I just LOVE the new Sea You Soon set, it pairs so well with previously released sets (Best Fishes, Magical Mermaids and Oceans of Joy) as well as several others. Thank you for spending some time with us today, I will Sea You Soon!

Sealiously Sweet Cards with Leanne and Mindy

Hello everyone, Leanne here! With our spring days getting warmer and warmer, this has me dreaming of all things summer. One of my favorite summer treats is fresh watermelon. When I saw the little seal with a slice of watermelon in Sealiously Sweet, I knew I had to make a card centered around a watermelon theme. 

I started with an A2 size card base. I used some watermelon patterned paper from the Summer Splash pad to cover the card front. I trimmed a white card stock panel to 5" tall by 3.75" wide and die cut a 3" circle out of it. 

I backed the circle opening with an ink blended background panel. I used three shades of Distress Oxide ink - Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick, and Twisted Citron. Copics used: YG11, YG13,YG17, C00, C1, C3, C5, RV13, RV21, RV25, R00.

I Copic colored the seals and watermelon from Sealiously Sweet. I added them to the center of the circle and then stamped part of the greeting right above them. To complete the greeting I used the Sweet Word Die. To accent the scene, I added some die cut flowers and leaves. The flower is from the Blooming Frame die set. The leaf is from Botanical Backdrop. One last thing I did to complete this card design, is add the striped border which is a piece of patterned paper from Striped Silly.

Hello! It’s Mindy from My Creative Scoop. Today I‘m sharing a card made with these adorable seals from the Sealiously Sweet Stamp Set.

I used my Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean to create my water. I also used the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies to create the shape of my water. I just took a card-front piece of cardstock and then left out the corner of the cardstock so it wasn’t being cut by the die.

I stamped my images in Memento Black ink onto my Copic Xpress it Blending Card.

Here’s a list of Copics I used: Seals – N1, N3, N5, R32, R30; Inter-tubes – R32, R30, Y02, Y000, YG13, YG17, BV02, BV000, BG13, BG11, YR12, YR00.

Check out my Video Tutorial below on coloring and how I made this little seal float!!



I hope you enjoyed my card and video tutorial. Thanks for stopping by!

Radiant Plumeria Cards with Lynn and Ashley

Hi there! It’s Lynn here and today I’m sharing a fun tropical summer card I created featuring the new Radiant Plumeria stamp set and coordinating dies.

To create my card, I started out by stamping a bunch of the images from the Radiant Plumeria stamp set and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. Most of the images from this set are multi step stamping to give each stamped image wonderful detail. I used Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz and Daffodil Delight inks for the flowers and Limeade Ice and New Leaf for the leaves.

To create my background I used the Sun Ray dies and a rectangle die to created my own stencil and then blended on Scattered Straw and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks. Before stamping my sentiment I used my heat tool to make sure my blended background was completely dry and then using my Misti tool, I stamped my sentiment in black ink. 

Once my background was done, I adhered my tropical flowers and leaves popping up two of the flowers with foam tape. I also added a few pink Iridescent Pastel Confetti for a bit of sparkle.

Hello everyone! It's Ashley with a fun summer card featuring the Radiant Plumeria set! I love the tropical feel you get from a card full of plumeria flowers! The way the set is created even lets you easily stamp two-color blossoms! 

I started by blending some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink onto the edges of light blue cardstock, letting it fade towards the center. Blending Oxide ink onto colored cardstock is an easy way to get a nice blend with only one color of ink! I die cut this piece using the scalloped frame from Frilly Frames Stripes and added it to a piece of pink tropical flower paper from the Summer Splash paper pad.

I used the Radiant Plumeria stamp set and my Misti to stamp several flowers and leaves onto white cardstock. I am a rookie with layered stamps, but I am loving the Pinkfresh Studio cube ink sets to get a good gradation of color. For the flowers, I used the Rise and Shine (yellow) and Fairy Dust (pink) sets. For the leaves, I used the Over the Hills (green) set. I then cut all of my stamped images out with the matching dies.

I arranged all the leaves and flowers onto my card front, popping a few up with foam tape for dimension. I used the Sunshine Word die three times on dark blue cardstock and glued it in a stack for a thick sentiment. Since plumerias always make me think of Hawaii, I used the Kinsley Alphabet set to spell "aloha", stamped it in VersaMark onto the same dark blue cardstock, and embossed with white. I popped this strip up with foam tape too. For a finishing touch, I added bright blue jewels around the card for sparkle.

I love how bright and summery this card turned out! It makes me wish for beaches and tropical drinks! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
