Quilted Heart Die Focused Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here with a fun card to share with you using the new Quilted Heart Portrait Background. 

To create my card, I started off with a medium purple A2 card base. I diecut the Quilted Hearts Portrait Background from lighter purple cardstock and layered them on top of each other. To ground my scene, I added a strip of striped patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Pastel paper pad. Along the top edge of that patterned paper, I added a strip of diecut grass and a white picket fence, both found in the Picket Fence Border die set. 

Then, I stamped the bicycle from the Paris Afternoon stamp set, colored it with Copic markers and diecut it with the coordinating Paris Afternoon Dies. I added a trio of tiny clouds from the Comic Strip Everyday die set to the sky, and stamped a sentiment from the Critters on the Go stamp set onto a white diecut banner. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a yummy card using the beautiful Quilted Hearts Portrait die.

I first inked a white panel of cardstock using Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. Then I die-cut the Quilted Heart background and adhered it to a white card base. 

Now I stamped the waffles using the Breakfast Puns stamp set, colored the images with Copic Markers, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered them to the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it. Finally, I added two of the tiny die-cut, left-over hearts to the strip.

I hope you liked today's card a waffle lot :) Thanks for stopping by!

Passionate Penguins Tags & Card with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this trio of wintery valentine tags showcasing the adorable Passionate Penguins stamp set.

As always I started by stamping the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. Besides the penguins, I also stamped a few trees from Holiday Express and umbrellas from Beach Babies, and I colored everything using my alcohol markers.

I cut three Scalloped Square Tags, and did the same process on each one: I masked the four scalloped edges to keep them white, covered the bottom with a hill stencil, and used spun sugar, worn lipstick and festive berries distress inks to create the sky. I also added a little bit of texture: white splatters to make falling snow, sparkling splatters for frosty accents, and festive berries distress ink mixed water splatters to add some contrast.

To give those tags a nice back, I cut three more tags out of pattern papers from the Rainbow Bright and Very Merry paper packs, I attached a red tag at the back of each white tag, and added ribbon and twine at the top to decorate them.

Next I cut six hearts using a die from the Cupcake Shape die set to decorate the top of each tag. I also cut three banners out of red cardstock using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, and white heat embossed a sentiment from Passionate Penguins on each one. And then I attached all the elements on the tags: the banners at the bottom, the hearts on the ribbon, and the images using foam squares and glue dots.

And as always I finished those tags by adding highlights and details on the images, the sky and hearts using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like those lovely frosty Valentine tags. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check the video (click on the image above) if you need more details. See you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the adorable Passionate Penguins Stamps – they are definitely one of my favorites! I just love their sweet little faces! I created a love themed CAS card in berry pink tones.

I started off with a square card base measuring 4.25" x 4.25". Next, I die cut two of the Stitched Heart 2 Dies from pink cardstocks and layered them on top of each other.

The penguins and tea cup were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. It's so cute how they are sitting inside the cup.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the images and sentiment strip with foam tape.

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

Heart Shaped Die Focused Cards with Gladys and Franci

Happy Wednesday! Gladys here and I'm back with a fun slimline card to share with you today.

To begin I stamped and colored the images from Passionate Penguins for the tea cups and Beach Buddies for the critters. After coloring them with alcohol markers I used their coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I used the Scalloped Hearts and Stitched Hearts 2 dies to cut from light blue and white cardstock. I layered them together using glue but you can definitely use one or the other depending on the look your are going for. I adhered the critters on top of each hearts using double sided foam tape for dimension.

For the main panel I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from patterned paper. I tried my best to align the hearts evenly. Next, I looked through my stash to make a custom sentiment. I stamped it in pink ink and used a banner die to cut it out.

That is all for me today, thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Hello! It's Franci here with you today, with a fun heart shaped card.

First of all I stamped all my images and sentiment form these sets: Lovely Dovey and Passionate Penguins. I colored the little critters with copics and cut everything out with their coordinated dies. Then I die cut the stitched heart out of white cardstock and the scalloped one twice out of red and white cardstock using these new sets: Stitched Heart 2 Dies and Scalloped Heart Dies.

I added some colors onto the stitched white heart with Distress ink and glued it down onto the red one with foam adhesive. Then added the scalloped white one the back and created a postcard style of card. I glued all the elements on the front with more foam adhesive and added a little confetti heart to finish up the design. 

This little card turned out so cute! Thanks a lot for stopping by today and have a lovely day!

Bursting Hearts Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. If there is any such thing as a Crafting God, they are definitely on my side this week. I finally bit the bullet and jumped on the foiling train. I didn’t get a chance to foil much as I only had one one plate but I am already in love with the results. When I realized I was assigned a project with the Bursting Hearts plate, I knew it would be perfect for foiling and I am so glad my machine arrived just in time! 

Bear in mind that this is my first full fledged attempt at foiling so there were a bunch of mistakes but I think that’s the beauty of cardmaking… there is no right or wrong. Just happy mistakes :) I first started off by foiling the Bursting Hearts die on some purple cardstock. Follow the instructions for a normal foiling plate but just use some parchment between the die and the foil to get better/thicker lines :) 

You will notice some overfoiling in the edges. I later learned that you can get rid of this by using a sand eraser but I didn’t have one at hand so I decided to leave it as is! I liked the extra foil. Kinda gives it a distressed look. To make it more cohesive, I ink blended the edges and splattered some gold and white paint to make it more ‘distressy’. Then, I just adhered some hearts cut out of shades of pink and mustard cardstock  to create a frame for the sentiment. Finally, I added a sentiment from Lovey Dovey to finish off my card :) 

I hope this inspires you to try out foiling with the bursting hearts die! Happy crafting!

Hello everyone! Isha here with a cute pastel theme card featuring the Bursting Hearts die. I really love the cascading hearts on this die and wanted to keep the card soft.

To start, I die-cut the white panel using the Bursting Hearts die. I then took another white mat layer, applied kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina distress oxide ink to create the background. Adhere the heart panel to this sponged panel and now adhere this to a gray cardbase.

Stamp the birdies from the Little Birdie stamp, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp and emboss the banner using white embossing powder, sponge using kitsch flamingo ink and die-cut. 

Stamp "Birthday Wishes" inside it using the Candy Shoppe stamp set. Stamp the word SWEET, die-cut using the coordinating die. Die-cut once more using the pink cardstock and stack it behind the sentiment.

Die-cut the big leaf in white and two smaller leaves from vellum using the Spring Greenery dies. Color the vellum leaves in green. Assemble everything onto the card using 3d foam for added dimension.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
