Beach Bus Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, I am Tina and wouldn’t you love to go on a holiday in this fun Beach Bus? The set comes with cute critters and lots of travel essentials!

I started this project by creating a white square card base, layered with a piece of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) cut with the largest of the Scalloped Square 2 Large dies. My background panel is a white square made with one of the Stitched Square Dies. The sky part was inked with a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo.

Since traveling often is also lots of adventure, I wanted an authentic cobble road for the bus to drive on. I stamped one of the Sprawling Surfaces to achieve that goal! Next, I selected the bus, all the cute critters, their suitcases and surfboard (Beach Bus). To create that ‘party bus vibe’ I also stamped a banner (Panda Party) as fun decoration.

All the coloring was done with my Copics in happy colors, and I added highlights with a white gel pen. The sentiment was selected from the same Beach Bus set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To assemble the card, I gave all the critters a place in the bus and mounted the party banner. Then, I stacked the luggage on top and added the surfboard. Finally, I adhered a few Iridescent Jewels for that extra sparkle!

Thank you for visiting the blog and I can’t wait to see your Summer inspired cards! Happy crafting!

Breakfast Puns Cards with Laura

Hey everyone! It's Laura Vegas here, filling in on the blog for today. I'm sharing a set of clean and simple Breakfast Puns cards that I created for today's post. 

I'm not much of a stamper, so when I do stamp, it's pretty basic. I never really think to use images, sticking more to sentiments and basic shapes, as I wouldn't know where to begin coloring those fun images. The more I thought about it, I realized that I could easily work a single image into my clean and simple card making style, using just black ink and no coloring.

To get my cards started, I selected patterned papers for the background of each card, using both the Polka-Dot Parade paper pack and the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pack. I cut a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock for each card, embossed them using the Lots of Dots embossing folder, spritzed them with a little bit of black misting spray, and adhered them to the center of each card. I machine stitched along the edges of the white embossed cardstock, since I love how some simple machine stitching can add a finished look to a card.

I stamped each of my Breakfast Puns images onto a small square of white cardstock, and added the smallest of the Fancy Frame Square dies on top to frame the image. I then adhered each of the framed images to a square piece of textured black cardstock and adhered each to my card bases. Sure, these images would look SO much cuter colored - but I'm a huge fan of black and white in general, and I actually love the simplicity of leaving them un-colored.

I die cut banners from black cardstock using the Notebook Photo Corner dies, and heat embossed my sentiments with white embossing powder on each. I adhered these sentiment banners to each card to finish them off. 

I hope for anyone out there seeing these that don't consider themselves to be stampers, or don't know how they would use all of the amazing and fun images without learning how to color them - that this simple idea of just stamping images in black ink and calling them "done" gives you ideas of how to incorporate more stamps into your cardmaking and other paper crafting projects. Thanks for letting me hang with you on the blog today!

Build-A-Bowl Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello Everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a simple card showing how the Build-a-Bowl dies can be used with something other than fruit. I have die a bunch of little hearts to fill the bowl on my card. 

First I added some light pink shading and splatters to the card front. Next I adhered the bowl that's been die cut from some metallic silver card stock. I then added a bunch of little hearts die cut from several different colors. The heart die I used comes from the Gift Card Envelope set. I arranged the hearts to look as if they were falling into and filling up the bowl. 

I created a custom greeting with stamps from Sunny Sentiments and the Love word die from Gift Card Envelope. Lastly I added a few clear sequins. That's it for quick and easy card. You could customize it even more by adding hearts in the recipient's favorite colors. This card design would also work great for Valentine's Day with red and pink hearts.

Big Panda Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a fun tropical card featuring the Big Panda Stamps!

I started this A2 card with the ocean background. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and masked the bottom 2” of the cardstock. I used a cloud stencil from my stash and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I then masked the sky and the bottom 1” of the panel. I inked the ocean with Simon Says Stamp Seafoam ink. I finished by masking all but the bottom 1” and inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then adhered the panel to the card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die and adhered the frame to the background panel. I inked the sand portion of the die-cut with Antique Linen Distress ink and set it aside until I was ready to adhere the panda.

I stamped the panda, beach hat and drink from the Big Panda Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I then adhered the panda to the card front and adhered the sand die-cut over top.

To finish, I stamped leaves and flowers using the Radiant Plumeria Stamps/Dies and the Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps/Dies and adhered them around the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Tiki Time Stamps, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and fussy cut it out.

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.
