Teacher Appreciation Cards with Franci and Julia

Hi there! Franci here with you today, with a fun card showcasing the new Teacher Appreciation set.

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock, then inked the front with yellow Distress ink. Then I stamped my little koala from the Outback Critters set and the little apple from the Woodsy Autumn set; I colored them with Copics and die cut them. I also stamped some crayons from the new Color My World set and die cut them too.

I took a piece of squared paper and stamped my sentiment at the bottom and I love these  school vibes this paper gives to the project - it's so cool! I added all the images at the top with liquid glue and adhered down the panel to my card. I also added a little clothespin at the top and some details with a white gel pen.

Thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Hey crafty friends! It’s Julia here with a happy little scene card! I am a huge fan of sentiment stamp sets that can be used for multiple different occasions and - don't let the name fool you - Teacher Appreciation is definitely one of those products! It has amazing sentiments for teacher cards, but you can use it for friendship and general greeting cards as well! I didn't need any teacher cards, so I made this fun happy friendship card!

I stamped out my images from Balloon Rides onto Transotype Perfect Coloring Paper and colored them in using Copic Markers. Then, I die cut two panels of Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. One I used for the background, the other I die cut with the Fluffy Cloud Borders. I ink blended both pieces with with Distress Oxide inks and I also added some shimmery splatters to the main panel for added interest. 

Inks used: Tattered Rose, Kitch Flamingo, Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Copic Markers used: 0; N0, N1, N3, N5; E40, E41, E42, E44, E47; Y0000, Y000, Y00, Y02, Y13; V000, RV52, RV55; BG0000, BG10, BG11, BG05, BG09.

I stamped my sentiment from Teacher Appreciation onto the cloud border. I just masked off the last two letters of the word "brightened" to match my greeting. I attached my background to a card base and added the clouds on top. Then it was time to add all my cute images to the card. Finally, I added some sparkle with a shimmer pen and Stardust Stickles. I really hope you like it!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Beach Buddies Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here with a pull tab interactive slimline card featuring the Beach Buddies stamps and dies. This adorable set reminds me of the time when my daughters were small and we could take beach vacations :)

To start with I die-cut a few panels for the sand and waves using the Slimline Nature Border dies. Sponge the wave using peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink. Sponge the sand using scattered straw, wild honey and vintage photo distress oxide. Flick gold and silver paint. Die-cut a white panel, sponge mustard seed, picked raspberry inks to create the sky. Flick with water. Die-cut a small oval towards the right side top  to create the pull tab notch.   

Adhere the wave to this layer and cut an inch long vertical slit where we want the dog to move. There are lots of tutorials available for the pull tab cards and also there is a pull tab add on die by Lawn Fawn, I made my own mechanism after watching THIS VIDEO. I adhered the cute little dog to the slider mechanism, so when we pull it, it comes out peeking from behind the beach bag :)

Stamp the images onto alcohol friendly cardstock, color using Copic markers and die-cut using coordinating dies:
Beach Buddies stamp and dies
Tiki Time stamp and dies (drinks)
Balloon Rides stamp and dies (sun)
Seasonal Trees stamp and dies (big palm tree)
Tropical Scenes stamp and die (small palm tree)

Stamp the sentiment onto the sand. Adhere the sand to the mat layer using 3D foam. Adhere the images, make sure to position the beach bag so the dog comes out from behind it when we pull the tab and I have stamped the word "HELLO" near it. Adhere the panel to the cardbase using 3D foam. 

Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card using the latest release! I love it when I can combine new products with older ones .. especially when they were designed to do just that! For this week, I will be showcasing the new Beach Buddies stamp set along with the Beach Babies stamp set. 

I first started off by stamping various images from Beach Buddies, Beach Babies, Balloon Ride (sun and the clouds) and Tropical Scenes (palm tree).  I then ink blended the top part of an A2 cardstock with cornflower blue dye ink. Later I die cut the ‘water waves’ and ‘land’ out of white cardstock using the Slimline Nature Borders die. I ink blended these pieces using teal blue and sand colored dye inks and adhered all these elements on the A2 card base. 

Finally, I added a sentiment by heat embossing one from the Beach Buddies stamp set on pink cardstock and fuzzy cutting it. Like always, I added some highlights using a white gel pen :) 

I hope you liked this fun beach themed card! Be sure to check back tomorrow for another round of fun inspiration!

Picket Fence Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a cute backyard scene featuring the new Picket Fence die set! I love that this die has multiple ways to be used! You can keep it simple and just use the main fence piece like I did, or you can make it even more detailed by adding some woodgrain detail to the stakes! So versatile!

I started my card by die cutting a cloudy piece of patterned paper from the Summer Splash pack with the Frilly Frames - Quatrefoil stitched rectangle for an A2-sized piece. This cloudy paper is just the perfect backdrop if you don't feel like ink blending some clouds! I added the white fence I created using the Picket Fence dies, then used the grassy border die in the Picket Fence set on some polka dot paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastel pack and layered it on top.

I stamped several images from Puppy Parents and Party Pups on white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I fussy cut my images out, but there are matching dies available too! I added the images to the yard I created, popping the dogs up with foam tape for dimension. For my sentiment, I stamped the first part from Puppy Parents in VersaMark ink and embossed with white. I then used the new Chloe Alphabet dies with white cardstock to spell the word "human." I am so happy to have another letter die set to customized sentiments!

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

Hello everyone! Happy Monday everyone and happy May!! Mayra here with you today. I am sharing this card with you using the new Picket Fence die. 

I began by coloring all of the images I would be using for the card. I used the adorable doggies from the Puppy Dog Kisses, Puppy Parents, Balloon Rides, and Beach Buddies stamp set. I used Copic markers. For the brown areas, I used E50, E51, E31, E55, E35, and E87.  For the coral color, I used R22, R02, and R00. For the blue, I used BG10, BG11, and BG34. For the yellow, I used Y11, Y08, and Y19.

Next, I used the larger of the stitched rectangles from the Stitched Rectangle dies set to die cut the base panel. I then die-cut the layers for the picket fence and the grass from the set. I then used Distress Oxide inks to add color to the panel and grass. I used Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Mermaid Lagoon. For the grass, I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. 

Next, I die cut the clouds using the coordinating cloud dies from the Balloon Rides set. To create the sentiment I die cut the phrase 'Pawsome' using the awesome new Chloe Alphabet dies and the 'You're So' phrase from the Candy Shoppe set. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.
