Tropical Birds Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this lovely tropical baby card showcasing Tropical Birds. As you may know, I'm a huge fan of tropical cards, it's always fun to color all the greenery, and I like to play with bright and bold colors to create my backgrounds. In case you missed them, here are a few examples of the tropical cards I've made using: • Big Panda Sliding Window Card • Juicy Watermelon Slimline Card • Tiki Bar Summer Scene • Savanna Safari Birthday Card • Panda Party Slimline Card.

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Lots of green tones for all the leaves, and light orange tones for the birdies. Here is a -short- detailed list of the products I used: • Tropical Birds - cockatoos, leaves, flowers, ivy • Little Birdie - nest • Special Day - hearts • Chubby Bunny - baby bird

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and started off by coloring it using, from top to bottom, carved pumpkin + dried marigold + scattered straw oxide inks. I added a jungle pattern to my background using tropical leaf stencils from my stash along with, from top to bottom, ripe persimmon + carved pumpkin + fossilized amber oxide inks. To bring more interest to my panel, I splattered water all over it and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water, and used a small brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and stamped my "Hello baby" greeting from Baby Elephant using black versafine ink. I also added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finished my card with some white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts to make them sparkle.

And that's it! I really love how this new tropical card turned out with those beautiful orange shades, and I hope that you like it, too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Square Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with a tropical shaker card using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies and the Stitched Square Dies.

By combining these two sets, I created a border from a flower pattern paper (Flirty Flowers). I made sure to keep the border wide enough so I could easily add foam tape later. Next, I folded a white square card base, slightly larger than my frame. After gluing some acetate to the border (using strong doubled sided tape) I added some strips of foam tape.

Since I selected a colorful cloud paper from my stash for the background, I opted for simple silver and transparent sequins. After closing the shaker portion with the cloud panel, I adhered this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For this tropical card, I stamped the layering flowers and leaves from the Radiant Plumeria set  and a cutie from Tropical Birds. I colored him with my Copics in vibrant matching colors.

My sentiment banner with the ‘Best Wishes’ (Heartfelt Wishes) doubles as a ‘resting branch’ for the sweet parrot. I arranged the flowers and leaves in clusters and placed them in two opposite corners of the card. Finally, I added a few Gold Jewels for that extra bling!

Thank you for being here and happy crafting!

Fresh Lemon Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a fun and bright lemony card featuring the Fresh Lemon dies. I love the details of these dies.

I started by die-cutting all the images using the Fresh Lemon dies. I then added distress oxide inks to the elements. Lemon (squeezed lemonade, wild honey) Leaves (salvaged patina, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon). Next assemble all the elements to the images.

Die-cut the panel using Stitched Rectangle Die, sponge twisted citron to it. Mat this layer with the teal pattern paper from the Flirty Flower paper pack and adhere to a white cardbase. Stamp the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set. Assemble the image cluster. To finish, I added some dots using nuvo drops in grey.

Beach Bus Card with Leanne

Hi everyone! It's Leanne here and today we are hitting the beach!  I'm sharing a colorful summer card featuring fun images from the Beach Bus stamp set. 

This beach scene is very easy to create.  All you will need in addition to the Beach Bus set is the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. On an A2 card base apply some light blue ink with a blending brush. 

Once you have the blue sky, the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies makes it very easy to create a perfect beach setting for the bus and surfboards. This die set includes the frame, palm trees, clouds, and sand base. 

I've Copic colored the stamped images with the following colors:
RV02, RV06, RV09, B60, B63, B66, BG10, BG11, BG13, YR12, YR16, YR18, YG21, YG23, YG25, R20, R21, R22, E34, E45

When I assembled the scene, I left an open space in the sky area to stamp my greeting. These stamps are included in the Beach Bus set.

Juicy Watermelon Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a clean and simple friendship card today featuring the Juicy Watermelon Dies.

This was so fun to make and works up quickly. I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 5” x 6” and lightly inked across the center of the cardstock with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I cut a strip of Gingham Pastels Paper 1 1/4" x 6” and adhered it to the bottom of the cardstock. I then die-cut the cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhered it to an A2 card front.

Next, I die-cut 5 watermelon slices using the Juicy Watermelon Dies and 2 leaves/small flowers using the Strawberry Patch Dies from white cardstock. I colored the watermelon slices and flowers with Copics and inked the leaves with Mowed Lawn/Rustic Wilderness Distress inks. For extra cuteness, I die-cut my center slice with the smiley face die from the Fresh Lemon Dies and added a stamped/Copic colored pair of shades using a stamp from the Beach Buddies Stamps. I just love how they fit the smiley face perfectly! I adhered the die-cuts across the card and then decided to die-cut 2 larger flowers using the “free with purchase” mini die currently available. I also colored these flowers with Copics.

To finish, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with white embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock and die-cut the “melon” sentiment from black cardstock using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet 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.
