Stitched Semi-Circle & Arch Die Focused Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello friends! Rachel here today! I have a fun underwater-themed shaker card to share with you today featuring the new Stitched Semi-Circle Dies. 

I love how versatile these dies are! I used the biggest one in the set to create a large window in the center of a 5" x 5" square card base. I then stamped some images from both the Sea You Soon and Best Fishes Stamp Sets. All of my images were colored with Copic Markers and cut using the coordinating Sea You Soon and Best Fishes die sets.

For my ocean background, I blended some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Inks and splattered this blend with water to give it more interest. I also added a beach floor by cutting a piece of white card stock, blending it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and then splattering it with both diluted white and brown paint to add some texture. 

I adhered all of my images with to my base with liquid adhesive and then added some Studio Katia Majestic Mini Sequins for my shaker embellishment combined with some clear seed beads. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment onto my front panel with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink prior to attaching it to my card base.

Hi my crafty friends! It's Candice sharing a cool summer shaker card with you highlighting the Stitched Arch dies!

I used these awesome Sunny Studio products for my shaker:

• Stitched Arch dies
• Summer Sweets stamps & coordinating dies
• Radiant Plumeria stamps (Summer)
• Sliding Window dies (awnings)
• Dots & Stripes Pastel 6x6 paper pad
• Iridescent Pastel Confetti

I began my card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits wonderfully into your standard size envelopes.

For the shaker windows, I first die cut 3 arch windows on a piece of thick white cardstock and adhered a strip of acetate behind them. I then put strips of foam tape all around the back of windows and filled with sequins. On the card front, I added trimmed yellow pattern paper, lined up under the windows, and adhered vellum over the them to make it softer. I then added the card onto the foam tape to create my shaker card.

Next, I created my awnings using the same yellow pattern paper and adhered above the windows with foam tape. I then stamped all the different ice creams, colored with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added some accents using a white gel pen.

To finish the card, I created the sentiments by first stamping the "Summer" in Altenew Silver Stone ink and fussy cutting out and then heat embossing the other sentiment in white on a grey banner. I adhered both of them with foam tape and added some different colored nuvo drops around the windows.

Thank you for visiting today!

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!
