Slimline Pennant Die Focused Cards by Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the versatile Slimline Pennant Dies which can be used in many ways and of course they work with A2 standard size cards as well. I adore the Balloon Rides Stamps and added patterned papers to the background.

First, I cut out the diamonds pattern from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper pack with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set and adhered it to my A2 top-folding card base.

The cloudy paper (Summer Splash Paper) was die cut with the second largest pennant. To create a reverse banner I additionally used one of the Fishtail Banner Dies and cut off the top from the green floral pennant (Spring Fling Paper).

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The sentiment from the Lovable Llama set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed in white. Finally, I assembled my card by adhering all elements with liquid glue and foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have an amazing day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a cute shaped card using the Slimline Pennant Dies. 

I first created the card base from two large pennants. Now I die-cut the smaller pennant, stamped the otters, masked them and inked the background with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink. Then I die-cut the border from Slimline Nature Borders Dies from scrap paper and used this as a stencil to create waves with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. 

Supplies used:
Slimline Pennant Dies
Slimline Nature Borders Dies
My Otter Half Stamps + Dies

After I had added water droplets and details with a white gel pen, I colored the images with Copic markers and adhered the panel to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto vellum, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, die-cut the small pennant from it and adhered it. Then I die-cut the "otter" from blue cardstock and added it to the pennant.

This dies set is fantastic! Love what you can make with it. Have a lovely day!

Feeling Froggy Cards by Franci and Julia

Hi there and happy Wednesday! It's Franci here with you today, with a magical card. Oh, this little cutie is soo adorable! 

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and inked my sky on the front using blue Distress inks. I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut all the images and then I glued them down with foam adhesive.

I combined these sets here: Feeling Froggy + coordinated dies and Enchanted set + coordinated dies.

I stamped my sentiment at the bottom, added a little heart coated in Glossy Accents and drew little stars and dots on the night sky with a silver pen to make it magical.

I hope you like this card as much as I do and thanks a lot for stopping by! Have a lovely day.

Hey crafty friends! It’s Julia here with a fun birthday card! I just can't get enough of the cute froggy - so this time he is bringing balloons, flowers and gifts to the party!!

I started by stamping out my images from the Feeling Froggy, Country Scenes, as well as from Love Monkey (flowers), Floating By (balloons and bowtie), Alpaca Holiday (gift stack), North Pole (little gift), Balloon Rides (clouds). and Spring Scenes. I colored all the images with Copic Markers.

I ink blended the sky and pond onto a piece of bristol smooth cardstock. I also stamped a few "waves" on the pond from the My Otter Half stamp set. For my sentiment I stamped the word "hoppy" from Feeling Froggy, "birthday" from Garden Fairy and "wishes" from Eggs to Dye For and then heat embossed it in white onto black cardstock. 

Then, I added all my cute images to the card using liquid glue and foam squares. I wanted to add a white frame, so I die cut the Comic Strip Everyday dies and just snipped off the inside pieces. To finish my card, I added lots of shimmer pen, white gel pen highlights and Stardust Stickles. I really hope you like it!

Inks used: Scattered Straw, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Copic Markers used: 0; E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59; YG000, YG01, YG03, G000, G02, G17, G28; B21, B23, B26, B28; R81, R83, R85, RV02, RV06; V000, V01, V04, V09; Y000, Y11, Y13; Y15.

Balloon Rides Cards by Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with fun way to stretch Balloon Rides stamp set! If you know me, I love galaxies. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to make one in a while. I jumped at the opportunity the minute I saw this stamp set! I created a ’night time’ themed card using just the Balloon Rides stamp set and obviously, Slimline Nature Borders die set.

I first started off by ink blending the bottom half of a mini slimline sized white cardstock using lighter shades of blue and teal ink. For the top galaxy portion of the card, I used black, navy blue, teal, pink and purple! The best part of this card is that you don’t have to get even blends! Almost all your imperfections will be covered by ’stars’ aka white paint splatters. Also, majority of the galaxy sky is covered by the hot air balloon. If you always wanted to try a galaxy background but were afraid for a number of reasons, now is your perfect chance! 

Now, I wanted some planets but didn’t really have the space left in the cardstock. So, I decided to convert the hot air balloon into one! While stamping it, I stamped the ‘inner lines’ using a lighter shade of ink so that I can make it a bit more realistic while coloring. I then colored the earth using alcohol markers and colored pencils. I added the ‘clouds’ on top using a white re-nker. Just simply dilute the ink to make it more translucent! Then, I also splattered some paint on the ‘earth’ to cover up the remaining areas. 

Then, I colored the rest of the images from the set using shades of blue and purple. I added a small portion of ‘land’ by using Slimline Nature Borders Die and some ink blended teal cardstock. I finished the card by adding a sentiment from Inside Greetings Birthday heat embossed on blue cardstock. 

That’s it folks! I hope this card inspires you to try out a galaxy/night sky themed card!

Hello everyone! Isha here with you again featuring our Balloon Rides stamps and dies. I turned this into a shaker as you know how much I love creating shaker cards :)

To start, I die-cut the cloud and hills from the Slimline Nature Border dies onto acetate to create stencils. Using these stencils, I sponged the clouds and hills onto a white panel. I then Die-cut the hot air balloon using the Balloon Rides dies onto this panel. 

Stamp the images onto an alcohol ink friendly paper, color using Copics and die-cut. Place the mat layer to the card base and adhere the hot air balloon directly to the card base.

Remove the mat layer and adhere acetate behind the opening. Adhere score tape all around the acetate and the edges. Add WOW! Starlight Sparkles to the balloon on the card base. Remove the liner of the tape from the mat layer and adhere to the card.

Now, adhere all the images to the card and stamp the sentiment. Hope you like this flat shaker card, perfect for mailing :) Thanks for dropping by! Have a nice day.

Eggs To Dye For Cards by Mayra and Ashley

Hello everyone!! Happy April! Mayra here with you today. I am sharing this card with you today using the Eggs to Dye For stamp set. 

I began by coloring the cute little eggs using Copic markers. For the chick, I used Y11, Y19, and Y08. For the bunny, I used E41, E31, and E55. Next, I die-cut the layers for the card base using the Frilly Frames Lattice die set. I then used Distress Oxide inks to add color to the die-cut layer. I used Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Cracked Pistachio, and Salty Ocean. 

Next, I die cut an oval from the Stitched Oval die set for the sentiment. The sentiment is from the A Good Egg stamp set. I then layered the scalloped frame from the Fancy Frames Oval dies set over the die-cut oval. 

I hope you like the card I created to share with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a happy monochromatic card perfect for saying hi to a special chick in your life!

Since I was incorporating a bunch of chicks onto this card, I chose yellow as my color. I started by blending Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade onto white cardstock, then splattered it with white and gold acrylic paints. I used the Slimline Nature Borders on two different shades of yellow cardstock for some layered grass, then trimmed the whole piece down. I adhered it with strong tape to another shade of yellow cardstock that I had run through my die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. I love the texture the folder adds to the bottom layer!

I stamped several images from Chickie Baby and Chubby Bunny, along with the chick egg from Eggs to Dye For. I colored them all with yellow Copics and cut out with the matching dies. I added the images to the card, tucking some images behind the grass and popping others up with foam tape for dimension. I finished with a sentiment from Chickie Baby stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
