Mermaid Kisses Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating an underwater scene with one of the cute mermaids from the Mermaid Kisses stamp and die set.

I started with a white card base and added a layer of white card stock which was cut with the outer die from Frilly Frames Stripes die and embellished with the Dotted Diamonds Portrait die. The card panel consists of a Stitched Arch cut from white paper, divided into three wave parts (Catch A Wave dies) and colored with blue inks from my stash. After cutting another arch, I used this one as my base to attach the wave parts. Then it was time to stamp the sentiment from Mermaid Kisses directly to the top of this panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I wanted my mermaid to rest on the sea bottom surrounded by beautiful corals so I stamped the ocean scene from Tropical Scenes and used the matching die to cut it out. To give it the ‘arch shape’ I used the largest Stitched Arch once more. After stamping and die cutting the mermaid and cute fish from Mermaid Kisses, I used my Copics to color all the images including the coral scene in vibrant tones.

Next, I added foam tape to this ocean border and mounted it to the bottom of the waves panel. Thereafter, this panel was adhered to the white diamond background. Finally, I added the fish, mermaid with crown, starfish, and seashells to the scene. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose the beautiful Iridescent Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with these sweet mermaids! Happy crafting!

Wild Cherry Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi there! Leanne here sharing a cherryful card today. I simply could not resist adding the fun play on words to my card featuring how I've used the Wild Cherry dies. 

This A2 card design is very easy to make. I started by creating a soft minty background with scalloped edge detail. To get this detail, I used the Frilly Frame Hexagon die to create a mask that covers the edges of the card front and then I applied the ink in the negative space. The minty aqua color is Catherine Pooler Hot Tub. 

I die cut 7 cherries, stems, and leaves from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Catherine Pooler inks to color: Peppermint Scrub for the cherries, Matcha + Spruce for the leaves, Over Coffee for the stems. 

I arranged the cherries along the bottom half of the card front so I'd have room above them to add a custom greeting. The stamped part of the sentiment are words included in the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set. I used the Hayley Lower Case Alphabet dies to cut out letters that spell "cherryful". I cut the letters from white card stock and colored with a combo of Peppermint Scrub and Merlot CP inks. To finish this design I added a few green sequins scattered around the greeting area.

Tropical Birds Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a tropical rainforest scene card featuring the adorable toucans from the Tropical Birds Stamps!

This was such a fun card to make! First, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink on the right and left sides. I then inked towards the center of the panel with Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress ink and adhered it to an A2 card front.

For the waterfall background, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Oval Die and inked the bottom 3/4" of the oval with Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and a slight amount of Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I very lightly inked the right and left sides of the oval above the water with Simon Says Stamp Celery ink. I then colored the waterfall in the center of the oval (about a 1 1/4" wide section) using long streaks of Copic markers (BG49, BG34, BG23, BG13, BG11, BG10) leaving some white showing between the streaks. For the spray where the waterfall meets the pool below, I repeatedly dabbed a white paint pen. To complete the scene, I stamped 2 rocks from the Ocean View Stamps in a light gray ink for no-line coloring. I colored them with Copics (E44, E43, E42, E41, N1, N0), fussy cut them out and adhered them on each side of the waterfall.

Next, I die-cut a piece of black cardstock using the largest Fancy Frames Oval Dies, adhered the waterfall scene centered on the frame and adhered the combined piece to the card front.

To finish, I die-cut leaves from black cardstock using the Summer Greenery Dies and adhered them to both sides of the oval. I stamped monstera leaves from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I stamped the images from the Tropical Birds Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock.

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 Kavya

Hi, it's Kavya here with you today! I've created two cards using a variety of products from the latest release, combined with some of my favorite items from my stash. I love Sunny Studio Stamps because their thoughtfully designed stamps make it easy to mix and match with older releases, adding great versatility. This release did not disappoint!

My first card uses the new Summer Jar Mug and Juicy Watermelon dies. I started off by using some green striped paper from Striped Silly paper pack. I ink blended the center with some coordinating dye ink to make it darker and create a focal point. Then, I diecut the jars and watermelon out of cardstock. To make them look realistic, I added a bunch of details using white gel pen and copic markers. 

To continue with the tropical theme, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Tropical Paradise stamp set. I finished off the card with sentiments from Sweet Word die and Beach Bus stamp set.

My next card reminds me of a fun beach vacation I took a few weeks ago! I started off by ink blending my scene using orange and yellow dye inks. For the sand, I used some tan cardstock. I ink blended the cardstock with coordinating dye ink to add some dimension. For the beach, I used Ocean View stamp set. 

Then I colored a bunch of images from Beach Bus and Beach Babies stamp sets. Adhered all the elements on my background and finished off my card with a sentiment from Beach Bus! 

That's it folks! I hope these projects inspire you :) Happy crafting!

Scalloped Square Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello everyone this is Nicky with you today on the blog where I'm sharing a new card featuring the Scalloped Square 2 Large Dies. Please read on for all the details.

I took some sturdy white cardstock and die cut using the largest die from the Scalloped Square 2 Large Dies set. I then took the smallest die from the same set and die cut 4 smaller squares. I masked just inside the faux stitched line of each of the 4 small squares and ink blended using The Stamp Market inks in Fresh Pink, Minty, Sunshine and Breeze. I removed the masks, backed each square with foam tape and applied them to the large panel that I'd created.

I stamped the images from Birthday Cat using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and I coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Cat (top left) - E44, E43, E41, W00
Cat (top right) - C3, C1, C0
Cat (lower right) - E31, E41, W00
Cat (lower left) - W4, W3, W2
Pink - RV63, RV02, RV00
Blue - BG01, BG00
Yellow - Y19, Y13, Y06
Green - BG32, BG11, G000

I fussy cut the images but you can purchase the coordinating Birthday Cat dies. I backed each image with foam tape and I applied to each of the backgrounds.

I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen including dotting in some interest to the colour blended backgrounds. I applied the panel to a larger panel of cream cardstock with a layer of white craft foam sandwiched in between and I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied this with a double layer of dimensional tape behind it so that it popped up between the feature squares. Lots of dimension with this project!

Thank you for coming by to read the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.  Have a great weekend!
