Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here with a fun summer card to share with you! 

To create this card, I started off by stenciling some clouds to a piece of A2 sized white cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress ink. For the grass in my scene, I used a piece of floral patterned paper from the Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pad. For some added texture and dimension, I tore the top edge of the paper and inked the edges with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress ink. 

I die cut the pieces of the Swimming Pool die from both grey and aqua cardstock and inked the edges with coordinating ink colors. I also used the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies to add some palm trees which I cut from white cardstock and inked with Distress ink. I adhered one down on each side of the pool, leaving room for a sentiment from the Beach Buddies stamp set. 

Two adorable kids from the Kiddie Pool stamp set are taking a dip, and there are a trio of birds flying overhead, cut using the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accents and mounted the panel to an A2 card base.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun summer card using the Swimming Pool Die. This is my own version of Dogtown Boys :)

I first trimmed a panel of white cardstock to fit the card base. Now I inked the top part with Squeezed Lemonade, Festive Berries and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks and the bottom part with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink. After I had stamped the palm trees and the sentiment, I adhered the panel to the card base. 

These sets were used today:
Swimming Pool Die
Critters on the Go stamps + dies
Radiant Plumeria stamps
Surfing Santa stamps

I die-cut the pool from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and adhered the pieces to the card. Then I stamped my images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam-tape.

Wishing you a happy summer day! Thanks for visiting!

This time around I started with stamping the images out of the Ocean View, Kiddie Pool and Fabulous Flamingos. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching dies. Added a few white gel pen details and using a paint marker I added the seafoam.

Added the Ocean View image on the card using foam tape. Adhered the leaves and the boy on the card and the crab got a bit of foam tape as well.

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with more Christmas in July inspiration! Today I'm featuring the gorgeous Ocean View stamp set, and we're going to stretch out our supplies by turning a snowman from Feeling Frosty into a sandman!

I started off with the coloring. I stamped the Ocean View image on a large piece of cardstock, and colored it using my alcohol markers. And I picked a few additional stamps from different sets to complete my scene:

Christmas Critters: the Christmas hat
Farm Fresh: a crow that will become a seagull
Balloon Rides: the sun
Savanna Safari: the small rocks + grass

I wanted both crabs to look at the sandman. One of them was already looking in the right direction, but the other one was not. So I stamped a third crab and cut his eyes off, and I stuck those eyes on the second crab to make him look at the sandman.

I trimmed the Ocean View panel into a 5,5 x 4,25" portrait panel, and then used the coordinating die to get rid of the top of the panel. I also cut a piece of Spring Sunburst pattern paper to make the sky, and I attached both pieces on a card base.

I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of the panel using words from two different sets: "Have a" + "Christmas" from Lazy Christmas, and "Clawsome" from Best Fishes to get the following phrase "Have a clawsome Christmas". And next I attached all the images on the panel using foam squares.

As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, I added a bunch of dots on the ocean lines to bring a reflection effect to the waves, and that's it! I hope this card will inspire you to stretch out your supplies! As always you are more than welcome to check the process video for more details (click on the image above). Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Inside Greetings Congrats Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hi, this is Alma and today I´d like to show you a happy spinner card.

I used the cute Balloon Rides Stamps and first coloured the balloon, the bear, the houses and the trees. So that later the balloon can turn on both sides of the thread, you have to colour it twice. Then I punched them out with the matching Balloon Rides Dies.

For the landscape, I used the Forest Tree Stencil to wipe the background with the Distress Oxides Moved Lawn and Twisted Citron. For the center of the card I punched a hole with the Scalloped Oval Mat I Dies to attach the thread. I also cut out the houses from the Comic Strip Everyday Dies. Then I put all the houses and trees together to form a landscape and attached the thread with the balloon in the middle of the card.

Finally, I stamped the texts from the Inside Greetings Congrats Stamps Set. Now the balloon can merrily spin and fly to new adventures!

Hello friends! Gladys here with a cute baby card combining the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set and Baby Elephants stamps and dies.

To begin I used the Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace die to cut from Bristol Smooth cardstock. I masked off the edges so I don't add color to it but I end up cutting it down after realizing that my tape was not straight. Thank goodness it was an easy fix! I ink blended my background using distress oxide inks in the colors: mowed lawn, shabby shutters, milled lavender, kitsch flamingo, seedless preserves, and faded jeans. I used a small paint brush to splatter some white paint speckles and water droplets to add more interest.

Next I colored the adorable mama and baby elephant from the set along with a few stars. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped the balloon strings onto the inked panel and adhered the stars with foam tape. I also added foam tape on the elephants. I used the sentiment from Inside Greeting Congrats, there are lots of baby sentiments in this set and it pairs well with the Baby Elephant stamps. After I stamped the sentiment I adhered the panel onto the frame. For a finishing touch I added stardust stickles on the stars for a little bit of sparkle.

I hope you enjoy my card. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
