Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Mini Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog today with this trio of colorful Gift Card Envelopes and their matching mini cards. I went for a rainbow birthday theme, and brought back the kitties from Birthday Cat for the occasion.

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used: ● Birthday Cat for the kitty cupcakes, cats, small cupcake and party hat ● Balloon Rides for a banner ● Special Day for the hearts.

Next I cut three gold glitter "Happy" using a Treat Bag Topper die, and white heat embossed three "purrthday" from Birthday Cat on dark grey banners. And I also cut three postage stamp frames using a Gift Card Envelope die.

I cut three envelopes out of different Spring Sunburst papers using the main Gift Card Envelope die, and because I wanted to add images on the front of the envelopes but with a muted background, I also cut three 3,25 x 2 inches vellum panels. I attached a few items on each of those vellum panels: a "happy" word + a "purrthday" banner + cupcake postage stamp + images using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, and then I stuck a vellum panel on the front of each envelope using liquid glue.

Next I created three mini birthday cards to put inside each of my envelopes. I cut three 3,25 x 2 inches Dots & Stripes Pastels panels, and three 3 x 1,75 inches vellum panels. I white heat embossed a different greeting from Birthday Cat on each vellum panel, attached the remaining images on the vellum panels using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck the vellum panels on the bigger panels using liquid glue.

As always I finished my projects by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and I also added glitter to each heart for a sparkling touch. 

And that's it! I hope that these envelopes and mini cards will inspire you. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Bighearted Bears Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am excited to show you a card featuring the adorable Bighearted Bears stamp and die set. There are so many cute pandas that it was hard to select only three for my project!

After creating a white card base, I grabbed a teal heart covered paper from Flirty Flowers and cut it with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set. This die has a ‘postage look’ that matches perfectly with the ‘sending a love letter’ theme of this card!

I always enjoy creating little scenes in all kinds of shapes and today I chose a square made from white card stock. For the bottom part of my background I stamped the brick border from the Sprawling Surfaces. This is another super versatile set that will come in handy for loads of projects!  For a more subtle effect, I went with Distress Oxide Lost Shadow and some light grey Copic marker. The pink clouds were stenciled with Distress Oxide Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick.

Next, I stamped and die cut the three bears and mailbox from the Bighearted Bears stamp set. All the coloring was done in red, teal, and grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

The bold ‘Love’ sentiment was made from red card stock using the Chloe Alphabet dies which are one of my favorites! I used three layers for dimension. Lastly, I stamped a combined phrase from the Bighearted Bears stamp onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To obtain the perfect spacing, I laid down all the card elements and moved them around until I was happy with the layout. A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added as a sparkly finishing touch.

I hope you will enjoy this adorable bear set as much as I do! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Love Birds Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a clean and simple card featuring the Love Birds stamps and coordinating dies. This is such a cute stamp set with lots of fun images. 

I started by sponging some teal inks in the center. Flick lilac and white paint splatters. I then die-cut the frame from the Snowflake Circle Frame die, adhere to the panel.

Stamp the images from the Love Birds stamp, color using copic markers, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment and adhere the images. Adhere this panel to a teal card base. To finish, I added some clear jewels.

Treat Bag Topper Die Treat Bags with Leanne

Hello friends, Leanne here! If you are looking for a fun way to give someone a little treat, I have just the thing... a cocoa bomb treat bag with coordinating topper.  The new Treat Bag Topper die makes it so easy to kick your treat bags up a notch. I found some 4"x6" clear food safe party bags at my local craft store that are the perfect size to hold a cocoa bomb and attach the bag topper to.  

I started by die cutting the bag topper from 110lb white card stock.  To decorate the topper, I added die cut hearts and a little mug of cocoa.  The heart dies are found in two different die sets - Stitched Heart 2 and Gift Card Envelope.  The little mug dies come from Warm & Cozy.  

To finish the bag topper, I added a fun sentiment. I stamped "you're the" which comes from the Passionate Penguins set. With the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet dies I was able to spell out the word "bomb".  

I added some mini marshmallows, tiny heart sprinkles, a small stirring spoon, and one cocoa bomb into each bag. I then used some strong adhesive tape to attach the decorated topper to the bags.  These will be perfect Valentine gifts to give to friends and family.

My Heart Card with Tammy

Hello friends, Tammy here with a fun Valentine's themed project, featuring the stamp set, My Heart. I love making mini cards and had so much fun turning these sweet critters into shaped mini cards with a Gift Card Envelope. These will be my girls' Valentine's this year; along with a gift card and little chocolate! 

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:
Big Bunny/ Big Bunny Dies
Holiday Hugs/ Holiday Hugs Dies

Next, I created the mini cards by scoring a piece of white cardstock in half, then placed the bear and bunny dies just slightly over the edge of the fold, and ran through my die cut machine. I attached the colored images to the front of the mini cards, then stamped the inside using sentiments from Bighearted Bears in red ink.

Using the Gift Card Envelope Dies, I die cut little red and pink envelopes from the Classic Gingham and Gingham Pastels Paper. Lastly, I stamped the beautiful Valentine sentiments in both red and pink ink using the My Heart stamp set. I then die cut the stamped images using the My Heart Dies and attached them to the front of the gift card envelopes with foam tape to complete my project! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!
