Gift Card Pocket Cards with Kay and Candice

Hi there! Kay here, and I have a cute card to share with you today using the new Gift Card Pocket die along with two older stamp sets Timeless Tulips and Daffodil Dreams. I don't know about you, but I've had a lot of graduates to send gift cards to in the past month, so the Gift Card Pocket Die has really come in handy! And because graduation happens in the spring, the Timeless Tulips and Daffodil Dreams stamp sets are perfect for this time of year!

So for my card, I started by watercoloring a piece of Bristol Board card stock with some green ink. I then speckled it with white ink. When that was dry, I cut the Gift Card Pocket Die out. I then cut the for you out of white card stock twice and added it to the front of the pocket.

I stamped all of the tulips with Pink Fresh inks using Coral Reef, Passion Fruit and Berrylicious. I stamped the daffodils with Pink Fresh inks using Lemon Whip, Sunshine, Sweet Mustard and Marigold. The leaves and stems were also stamped with Pink Fresh inks using Fresh Pear and Olive.

I then cut all of the flowers out using the Timeless Tulips Coordinating dies and the Daffodil Dreams coordinating dies. Most of the flowers I glued down behind the gift card pocket before adding it with double sided tape. I then added the last tulip on top of the pocket with liquid glue.

And last but not least I added a Target gift card! Such a fun card and great gift for someone!

I hope you have enjoyed my project today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's Candice back with you this Friday and I have a simple and quick graduation card for you! I know that it is that time of year that you have grad parties popping up and this is a great quick card including a place to give them a short notice gift card, check or tuck some money in using the Gift Card Pocket die!

I used these products for my mini slimline design:

• Grad Cat stamps & coordinating dies
• Gift Card Pocket dies
• Chloe Alphabet dies
• Slimline Pennant dies
• Comic Strip Speech Bubbles dies (stars)

I began my slimline with a 6 1/2 x 4 card base. I first die cut the stitched pennant using the partial die-cut method from the school's colors and popped it up with foam tape.

Next, I created the gift card pocket from white cardstock, heat embossed the sentiment along the bottom, and lined it above the layered GRAD cut from the Chloe Alphabet set. I then stamped the grad cat and book, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I finished with the "mew did it!" heat embossed in gold on a banner and sprinkled a few glitter stars around!

I hope this helps you out if you are in need of a quick grad card for this weekend! Thanks so much!

Teacher Appreciation Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here today. The school year is coming to an end soon and I love the idea of creating Thank You cards for teachers, especially during this pandemic. The Teacher Appreciation set is full of wonderful sentiments which will work for other occasions and people as well. I combined it with the Color My World Stamps, one of the cute Beach Buddies and the gorgeous Chloe Alphabet Dies.

I started off with a light aqua A2 card base and die cut a mat from white cardstock using the stitched rectangle included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die set. I stamped five colored pencils using dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and cut them out with the coordinating die.

Dye Inks used for all pencils:
Wood: MFT In the Buff and Biscotti, Altenew Caramel Toffee; Metal Piece: SSS Fog, Lawn Fawn Manatee; Eraser: Altenew Cotton Candy and Coral Berry

Pencils (Altenew Dye Inks):
Purple: Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris; Pink: Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite; Yellow: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Sunkissed; Green: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive; Aqua: Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Teal Cave

With the help of masking, I gave the little bunny some glasses. I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I cut him out with the matching die.

Next, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in silver. I spelled out the word 'thanks' by die cutting the individual letters from shiny rainbow mirror cardstock. I adhered them over the heat embossed sentiment and added a couple of silver paperclips below.

Finally, I popped up the colored pencils and the bunny with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the Teacher Appreciation set. 

I first trimmed a panel of striped patterned paper from the Sleek Stripes Paper pad slightly smaller than my card base and adhered it. Now I stamped the images from Teacher Appreciation, Color My World and School Time, colored the apple and the pin with Copic markers, fussy-cut the elements and adhered everything to the card, raising some parts with foam tape. Finally, I added stars from the Primary Star Confetti.

I hope you got inspired today! Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful day!

Scalloped Fence Cards with Julia and Franci

Hey crafty friends! It’s Julia here with a fun birthday card!

For this one, I stamped out my images from Harvest Mice, Snail Mail, Merry Mice, Seasonal Trees and Santa Clause Lane onto Transotype Perfect Coloring Paper and colored them in using Copic Markers. 

Copic Markers used: 0; N0, N1, N3, N5, N7; R11, R14, R18. R29; Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17; E30, E21, E23, E25, E27; G40, G43, G17

After that, I ink blended the background using Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide Ink and added some splatters for more interest. Then, I die cut the Scalloped Fence three times out of white cardstock. 

I adhered my background panel to a card base and added all my images as well as my fence on top! For my sentiment, I die cut the word "sending" with the Chloe Alphabet dies and heat embossed "birthday wishes" from Candy Shoppe in white onto black cardstock. I adhered both parts of the sentiment to the background. Finally, I added shimmer pen and and crystal glaze for more sparkle! I really hope you like it!

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

Hello there! Franci here with a darling slimline card. Aww look at these little succulents, they're my favorites!!

First of all I die cut my Stitched Rectangle slimline panel using the partial die cutting technique and I created a matching card base out of light grey cardstock. Then I stamped, colored with copics and die cut these little plants from the Looking Sharp set and I die cut the Scalloped Fence out of white cardstock multiple times.

I masked the bottom of my white stitched panel and inked the top using some pink, green and yellow Distress inks. I removed the mask, stamped my sentiment at the bottom and assembled and glued down my fence with liquid glue.

Finally I added the succulents with foam adhesive and a couple of hearts from the Happy Hamster set. I glued down the panel to my card base with more foam adhesive and added little dots with a white gel pen onto the background.

This card turned out so super cute! Thanks a lot for stopping by!
