Tranquil Tulips Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hello there friends, Waleska here! My card today features the beautiful Tranquil Tulips Stamps from the most recent release mixed with the Moroccan Circles Embossing folder and the Mini Mat and Tag Dies #3.

For this card I wanted the Tulips to be the focal point in my card, to do that I decided to leave the tulips very colorful and the background white so they can really stand out.  I started by stamping the different layers of the tulips with the following inks: Hero Arts Ombre Pink Ink, Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo Ink and Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink, for the leaves I used Lawn Fawn Jalapeno Ink and Lawn Fawn Noble Fir Ink. I hand cut the tulips and arrange them in the way I wanted.

I then embossed a white panel with the Moroccan Circles Embossing folder and cut 4 of the scalloped rectangle from the Mini Mat and Tag Dies #3, I wanted to have dimension to this piece so I adhere them together.  Finally I assemble my card by using the pattern paper as a base layer from the Dots and Stripes Jewel Tones, then the embossed panel and finally the small scalloped rectangle, my sentiment is from the Big Bold Greetings.

Thank you so much for stopping by today I hope you will be inspired to create today by my post!

Hello crafty friends! Marine here, so happy to be back on the blog today with a bright & beautiful bouquet showcasing Tranquil Tulips! It's no secret that I love to create little scenes with multiple images and details, but I also really love to play with the amazing layering stamp sets we have in the Sunny Studio catalogue.

I started off with the background. I knew that the flowers, watering can & shaker accessories would be very bright, and I didn't want all those elements to get lost on a too colorful background, so I picked a light pattern paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack, and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel. Next I took a sheet of plastic from my stash a little bit bigger than my panel, added double sided tape along the four edges, placed my grey panel in the middle of it, and while keeping the panel in place with my left hand, I cut the four plastic corners off, and this way created four plastic tabs on each side of the grey panel. I folded and attached three of those tabs at the back of the grey panel, added a mix of sequins, jewels & confetti inside the plastic pocket, and then folded and attached the fourth tab to totally close the pocket. I attached my infinity shaker panel on a white card base using double sided tape, and then moved on to the images.

I stamped the tulips and leaves from Tranquil Tulips, as well as the watering can from Watering Can on Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using distress oxide inks. For the tulips, I used spun sugar + kitsch flamingo + picked raspberry. For the leaves, I used shabby shutters + mowed lawn. And for the watering can, I used salvaged patina + hickory smoke. Once all the images were stamped, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then I attached everything on the infinity shaker panel using foam squares.

And finally I created my greeting in two parts. I started by cutting the word "Thanks" out of gold mirror cardstock using a die from the Thank You Words die set. Next I white heat embossed the phrase "for always being there" from Words Of Gratitude on a dark grey slim banner, and then I attached both elements on the bottom left corner of my card using liquid glue and foam squares.

And that's it! I hope that you like this new shaker card! Feels like Spring, right? Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week with more flowers!

Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Cards with Catherine and Marie

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, today I am sharing a rainbow card featuring Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies.

To start, I ink blended the cloudy background with a stencil made using Fluffy Cloudy Border Dies with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide on to A2 size cardstock. I splattered some blue watercolor onto the card for added interest.

Next, I die cut four more cloudy borders for the top and bottom of the card. Two out of white cardstock and two out of pearlescent vellum. I lightly inked the edges of the two white cloudy borders with the same ink. I layered the cloudy borders onto the top and bottom of the card with foam tape.

To make the rainbow, I used the circle dies from Stitched Circle Large Dies and Stitched Circle Small Dies. I nested the smaller circles inside the larger circles and ran it through my die cut machine and cut the circles into an arch. I tucked the rainbow into the cloudy border and adhered it onto the background with glue. I used the bright and cheery paper from Spring Sunburst Paper. I added a sun using Sunny Sentiments Dies and a stitched circle from Stitched Circle Large Dies using paper from Classic Gingham 6x6 Paper.

For the sentiment “Bright,” I die cut the letters twice  with Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies out of white card stock and once out of scrap colored cardstock. I adhered the white letters together and then the colored letters on top and added highlights with a white gel pen.

I added a few more clouds from Balloon Rides Dies and I couldn’t resist but to add a panda from Panda Party Stamps. I finished off the card with a colorful sentiment Happy Thoughts Stamps using the following Altenew Inks: Fresh Lemon, Pinkalicious, Deep Iris, and Firefly.

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

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! Today I am back sharing a very simple Easter card featuring Sunny Studio Stamps' Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies as well as some super cute images from their Chubby Bunny Stamps and Bunnyville Stamps. This adorable chubby bunny has been blessed with tons of Easter treats and it doesn't look like he's about to share anytime soon! 

To create this simple and sweet Easter card, I first start off by die cutting my A2 sized card base from 110 lb. heavyweight cardstock. I die cut another A2 sized panel of bright yellow pattern paper from the new Spring Fever Paper. I then attached my pattern paper to my card base using a double sided tape adhesive. To create my background, I die cut a smaller sized panel from bristol smooth cardstock because inks glides smoothly with this type of paper. I used distress ink in the color Salvaged Patina to ink blend my sky and Twisted Citron for my grass. I centered my background panel and attached it to my card front with Bearly Art Precision craft glue.

For my Easter Blessings sentiment, I combined the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies with the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. I cut out all my alphas from  Neenah Solar White cardstock. I just love the typography of these dies! It's whimsical and elegant at the same time, and I absolutely love how you can create your own sentiments. 

For my images, I used both the Chubby Bunny Stamps and the Bunnyville Stamps. I stamped out all the images onto watercolor paper using Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I colored all my images using watercolor pencils. I cut all my images using the Chubby Bunny Dies and the Bunnyville Dies. 

Finally, I adhered my sentiment and all my images using a combination of craft glue, tape adhesive, and foam tape. There you have it friends, a very simple Easter card that could be mass produced! Thanks so much for joining me for this week's card inspiration! Until next time, have fun crafting and creating!

Clucky Chickens Cards with Lien and Isha

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here, back with another spring card! I adore these little chickens, I had so much fun putting this scene together.

My mom loves anything chicken-themed, so I knew this card with all these Clucky Chickens was going to be for her, I'm just not sure about the occasion yet. That's why I left so much blank space at the top of the card so I can add any sentiment later on. I do this pretty often and it's a fun trick to keep in mind if you make a lot of cards. 

I started out by stamping all of the images from the Clucky Chickens stamp set in alcohol marker friendly ink. I stamped all of them together with my Misti and I left the stamps in place while I colored them with my Ohuhu markers. Once the coloring is done, I can put the paper back in my Misti to stamp once more with Versafine Onyx Black ink. This is a pigment ink and I love to add Clear Gloss embossing powder to it for a shiny embossed outline. I die cut all the images out with the coordinating die. 

While I had my die cutting machine out, I also cut the Picket Fence Border die and the included grass border. I cut the picket fence from brown cardstock and a few times from white cardstock, layering them up for dimension and stability. Then I sprayed it white with the Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. You can still see the brown peeking through in some places and I even sprayed a little bit of green ink at the bottom of the fence to resemble moss or grass stains. 

For the grass, I cut it from light green cardstock and blended some darker green ink over it at the bottom of the grassy hill to add depth. For the sky I also used a very light blue cardstock and blended the top edges with a slightly more pigmented blue ink. I glued all my scene elements onto a card base and then propped the chickens up on some foam tape. 

I don't make scene cards often, but this was so much fun to do!

Rainy Day Die Focused Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today and Spring has already sprung where I live with plenty of rain showers greening up that grass! I had great inspiration for my card today featuring the Rainy Days Dies.

I wanted to keep this card light and bright even though I’ve got some Spring showers going on, so I started with a cloud background lightly inked with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. First, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with a Stitched Rectangles Die, inked the very top with Tumbled Glass and adhered it centered on an A2 card front. I then die-cut 2 more pieces of white cardstock using the same Stitched Rectangle Die and die-cut them 3 times using the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. (the die-cut cloud pieces measure 1 1/4" high, 2 1/4” high and 3 1/4" high) I inked each piece near the cloud edge with Tumbled Glass and layered/adhered the pieces to the card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with a Stitched Semi-Circle Die and inked the top half with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress ink. I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Semi-Circle Die and then die-cut across the bottom of the semi-circle with the grass border die from the Picket Fence Border Die. I inked the grass with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress ink and adhered it to the bottom of the semi-circle. I adhered the semi-circle to the card front even with the bottom stitched line of the rectangle and centered.

I die-cut the cute rain boots from the Rainy Days Dies from white cardstock. I colored the main boot portion with Copics and inked the base piece underneath and the top of the boot with Twisted Citron Distress ink. I inked the sole of the boot with Broken China Distress ink. I also inked the raindrops (die-cut using the Rainy Days Dies) with Broken China Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to give them a wet look.

To finish, I stamped the “wishing you” and “of happiness” sentiments from the Over the Rainbow Stamps in teal ink on blue cardstock and die-cut them using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies and a flag die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to notch the ends. I die-cut the “showers” sentiment using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies from ivory cardstock and teal cardstock and layered them slightly overlapping to help it stand out a bit more.

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.

Hi friends! It’s Bobbi here with a card to celebrate just about anything. There’s something so fun about brightly colored umbrellas. I was inspired by a trip to the s where we visited Calle de las Sombrillas, a street of brightly hanging umbrellas. When I saw this Rainy Days Dies set, it reminded me of all those hanging umbrellas over the street.

I’m using three new sets from the latest release including Rainy Days Dies and the Hayley Alphabet dies – Uppercase dies and Lowercase dies.

This 5″ X 7″ card begins with a watercolor background in blues, greens and aquas on watercolor paper. Once my base layer was dry, I splattered blue watercolor paint over it to look like tiny raindrops. Next, I cut twelve colors of umbrellas in bold brights and combined two tones of each color to make the six umbrellas you see on the card. I glued all the pieces together and added a few highlight marks using a white Gelly Roll pen. I assembled all of my remaining die cut pieces and made six more umbrellas to use on a later project.

Using some white cording, I attached two strings diagonally across the card front. I attached the six umbrellas, positioning them so that they look like they are hanging from the strings. I attached them using Scrapbook Adhesives foam tabs to make them stand out, too. I cut the Hayley letters to spell out, “OH, happy day” and attached them to the card front. Lastly, I attached blue and white die cut teardrops to the front and added some clear drops using Pearl Pen transparent.
