Easter Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello friends, Bobbi here! Today, I’m sharing a card for the Easter holiday. I’m using the Chickie Baby stamps (coordinating dies here) and a few carrot images from the Bunnyville stamps set (coordinating dies here). I’m also using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies for the grassy hills and the Spring Fever paper pad for the grass.

This card measures 6″ wide  X 5″ tall and fits inside a 5″ X 7″ envelope. I used this shorter width so that my 6″ square Spring Fever paper covered the full width at the bottom. This card could also be made into the popular, A2-size card with no seams, too. I just happen to like a bigger card to give.

I started by splattering my card front panel with watercolors. Using the grassy border from the Slimline Nature Borders dies and the grass pattern paper from the Spring Fever paper pad, I cut a couple rolling hills. I used two layers to make a foreground and background in the scene. I blended on some green Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink at the bottom for interest.

Next I stamped, colored (see colors below) and cut out my chicks, basket and the carrot images. I turned the large carrot on its side, punched out half of a 5/8″ circle and added two 3/8″ black wheels to make the carrot into a car. Now my chick fits inside perfectly and is ready to travel home for the holidays! Do you see his home?!

Copic Sketch Marker Colors used to color the images:
Carrots: YR07, YR68, YR65, YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01
Chicks: YR19, YR15, YR13, YR08, YR68, Y38, white Gelly Roll Pen for cheek highlights
Eggs: RV55, RV02, RV00, G00, G000, Y13, Y08, BG02, BB00, B000
Basket and bow: B04, B02, B00, RV17, RV55, RV02
Bunny Ears/Door: Bg01, B00, RV55, RV02
Shading: W4, W2, W1

All the cute images were set and glued in place. I added a black string to the carrot balloon. I stamped the “Happy Easter” phrase in the upper left corner to finish the card.

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’ve got a sweet Easter card to share with you using the beautiful Easter Wishes Stamps.

I started this card with a soft embossed look to the card front using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. This technique takes a little bit of time, but I think the results are worth it. First, I cut an A2 sized piece of ivory cardstock and die-cut a second piece of ivory cardstock twice using the quatrefoil portion of the dies. I placed a die-cut quatrefoil frame over the A2 cardstock piece as a guide and began adhering the inner quatrefoil pieces to the cardstock. I moved the frame as needed until I had completely covered the A2 piece. Where pieces overlapped the edges, I carefully trimmed them along the edges of the A2 piece with scissors. I then adhered the cardstock to an A2 card base.

Next, I worked on a sunrise sky. I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Stitched Oval Die and then I die-cut a Stitched Circle Small Die from Eclipse masking tape. I placed the circle towards the bottom of the oval die-cut as a mask for the sun and inked from the bottom working up to the top of the oval with Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks. I then removed the circle, placed the negative portion of the circle die-cut masking tape over the sky and inked the sun with Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink.

For the bottom grass portion, I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Oval Die and inked the bottom half of the oval with Twisted Citron Distress ink. I placed a smaller Stitched Oval Die across the bottom third of the oval and die-cut the piece. I then adhered it to the bottom of the oval sky piece.

 

Next, I stamped the images from the Easter Wishes Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish, I die-cut a flower from the Botanical Backdrop Die from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and added a stamped/die-cut leaf from the Cherry Blossoms Stamps and Dies.

 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Gladys Marcelino

Hello friends!! Gladys here and I'm so excited to be back on the blog today to share some fun and fresh new projects using products from the latest release. Let's get started!

For my first card I created a cute birthday card featuring the adorable pandas from the Panda Party stamp set. To start I used a watercolor stencil and ink blended a pastel rainbow with various distress oxide inks. I added interest by splattering diluted shaded lilac and white paint using a small paint brush. I stamped the pandas and birthday accessories from the stamp set with alcohol friendly ink. I colored the images with copic markers and used their coordinating dies to cut them out. Since this is a birthday card we can't have a birthday without cake so I stamped and colored the cake from a smaller stamp set called Make A Wish.

Next I cut down the stenciled background panel using a stitched rectangle die slightly smaller than A2 size. Then it was time to assemble the scene. Once I was happy with the placement of the images I used double sided foam tape to attached them. I stamped the punny sentiment on the center of the card and finally I mounted the panel onto a rainbow pattern paper from the latest release called Spring Fever.  

For my second project I made a slimline card, again using the Panda Party stamp set with the Wonderful Windows dies.

I began by ink blending the background using a brick stencil and distress oxide inks. Then I started die cutting elements from the window dies. I used various colored card stock and pattern paper to complement the scene. The flowers did take the longest from cutting the different colors of paper and gluing them together. I wanted to create a cluster of flowers for the windowsills so it was a labor of love and I enjoyed the process. Also, I think it's because I'm longing for Spring to come. LOL!

I was able to fit almost 2 windows on top of each other and stuck the pandas in each of them. I cut a grass border and a couple of pandas holding flowers which I thought was so sweet. Next I heat embossed the sentiment in white on vellum. The sentiment "Have a pandastic day!" was my inspiration for this scene. I had imagined the pandas are greeting their neighbors, friends or family members to have a fantastic day. I  had so fun creating this scene and I love how it turned out.

That is all for me today. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Garden Critters Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card featuring the adorable Garden Critters stamp and die set. I just love all the cute images and they work really well with the Garden Fairy set. So, I decided to combine both sets to create a happy outdoor scene!

First, I stamped and die cut all my images and colored them with my Copic markers. For extra details I used my white gel pen. I wanted to create three mini scenes that together would become a complete setting.

After die cutting a purple panel with a slim line die and some pattern paper from my stash, I made the arch frames with the smallest of the Stitched Arch dies. To get these arches positioned evenly it’s best to start with the middle one and then cut the ones to the left and the right. That gives you more control regarding the spacing in between.

Next, I cut a white panel slightly smaller than the purple one. This would be my background and I inked up a green sky with a cloud stencil. I glued the background to the purple panel with liquid glue. You can never have enough birthday cards, so I went with a sentiment from the Garden Critters set, stamping it directly to the background with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Then, I started building my three mini scenes, using foam tape were needed for dimension. Lastly, I adhered the entire scene to a white card base and added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels for that extra bling!

It’s been a cloudy, rainy day but creating this happy Spring card really made my smile! I hope you will have fun too with this darling set! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a set of cute gift boxes using Garden Critters.

For the matchboxes, I used a die from Mama Elephant, die-cut them from blue cardstock and assembled them. Now I die-cut the backgrounds from the clouds patterned paper from Spring Fever paper and adhered the panels. To the bottom of each rectangle, I added a strip of green paper. Then I stamped the images, including a few images from Panda Party, colored them with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the boxes with foam tape.

After I had stamped the sentiment strips, I trimmed them, adhered the strips and used a white gel pen to add highlights to the images.

I love having little boxes at hand to give small gifts. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends!!! Waleska here with you. I am just popping in today to share a super adorable card inspired on one of my favorite movies The Secret Life of Pets, have you seen it? is just so funny and cute with all the pets having an entire different life when their owners are not around.  For this card I used the Christmas Critters Stamp set, the Comic Strip Everyday dies and the Spring Fever Paper Pad.

I started creating this card by cutting the Comic Strip Everyday dies with white cardstock and cutting the curtains found on the the Wonderful Window dies from different patterns from the Spring Fever 6 x 6 paper pad I also used the Ribbon and Lace Dies. 

I then put the cloud pattern paper on the back of the comic strip die and started assemble the curtains, I wanted all the cute pets to be peeking from different windows. I then stamped and color a bunch of cats and dogs and adhered them to the windows I also added some little hearts because all this pets are loved by their owners.

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm so glad to be back on the blog with this pawesome pop-up card showcasing the most adorable dogs from Party Pups, as well as the new Spring Fever paper pack that I used to create my landscape.

I started off by stamping all the images on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. I picked all the dogs + birthday cake + balloons + party hats from Party Pups, as well as the chicken coop from Clucky Chickens to create a cute doghouse (the paw print I stamped on it comes from Party Pups) I went for neutral shades to color the dogs, and for rainbow colors to color the balloons & party hats to make the card even more festive.

Next I cut all the different elements to build the pop-up card. I cut the base pieces using kraft cardstock, and chose pattern papers to decorate the inside and outside: the grass paper + sky paper + yellow dotted paper are from the Spring Fever paper pack, and the red gingham paper is from the Joyful Holiday paper pack.

I white heat embossed my "Woofing you a happy birthday" greeting from Party Pups on the yellow dotted banner, and I added highlights & details on the images using a white gel pen. Next I assembled the different pieces and built the pop-up card, and then I attached the images on the grass border using 3mm glue dots.

And that's it! Love those cute pups so much, and the balloons are so fun! I hope you like this new colorful and cheerful card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Ribbon & Lace Die Focused Cards with Catherine and Marie

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here and today, I am sharing a spring card created with the pretty Ribbon & Lace Border Dies and Build-A-Birdhouse Dies.

To start, I trimmed 9 strips of paper 0.5”H x 4.5” W out of white cardstock. I used one of the scalloped edge border dies in the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies and die cut the 9 strips of paper. I evenly spaced the scalloped edge borders onto a piece of white cardstock 4.5”W x 5 ¾” H and adhered the borders.

I die cut the birds and bird houses from Build-A-Birdhouse and ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye, Scattered Straw, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. 

I die cut some branches and leaves with Out On A Limb Dies and ink blended with Scattered Straw, Tea Dye, and Gathered Twigs (branches), and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn (leaves). 

I adhered all the images onto the card and hung the birdhouses onto the branches with black twine.  I added a reversed scallop frame onto the card. I had a piece of white cardstock which was left over from a die cut using Frilly Frames Hexagon and thought it would make a pretty frame.

I finished off the card by adding “hello” from Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies, ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides.

Thanks so much for joining me today! For inspiration, please feel free to visit me at Crafti-Cat. Have a wonderful day!

Hey Crafty Friends! It's Marie and today I'm sharing a vintage pastel "Hello" themed card that can easily be a new baby card which features the gorgeous slimline Ribbon & Lace Border Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps' latest Spring 2023 release. This card also features their Baby Elephants Stamps and being a huge fan of elephants, this stamp set is absolutely adorable and so much fun! 

To begin my card making process, I first die cut an A2 sized card base from 110 Lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock. Then, I used the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies to create lovely doily like texture using some scrap pieces of pattern paper. I cut another A2 sized panel of pattern paper and die cut the base using one of the border dies. I then adhered that to the white card base, and layered on the rest of the pattern paper. I die cut some white cardstock using one of the ribbon dies from the set and placed that on top of my paper layers.

Next, I stamped out all my images onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored them all using Faber- Castell Watercolor pencils. I then cut out the images using the corresponding Baby Elephant Dies. For my "Hi" sentiment, I used the Loopy Letters Dies because it has a very dainty and delicate cursive style that matched the vintage vibe of my card perfectly! For the letters, I layered basic white cardstock on top of some gold cardstock. And finally to finish off my card, I used some gold star die cuts to embellish the background. 

That does it for my super sweet and easy card inspiration of the week! Thank you so much for joining me today and until next week, Happy Crafting!!!
