City Streets Cafe Card with Vanessa Menhorn

Hi there! Vanessa here with a card using the wonderful new set City Streets Stamps and coordinating dies. The houses are just too cute! Here comes my card:

Sunny Studio Stamps: City Streets Let's Meet For Coffee Cafe Card by Vanessa Menhorn.

I started with a card base made from watercolor paper and masked off a circle on its front. Now I applied light blue ink for the sky and grey ink for the bottom and removed the mask. I stamped the images with permanent ink and colored them with watercolors. Then I die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered it all to the card. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the card.

Baby Bear Baby Shower Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today and I am so happy to be sharing a baby card using one of the adorable new stamp sets, Baby Bear. This set is just too cute! It has tons of precious little baby accessories and of course, little baby bears!  Let's get started on how I created this card.

To begin, I cut a few A2 stitched rectangles. I used one as my card base and used a couple of others to create the clouds. I cut three layers of clouds, each one shorter than the next. On my card base rectangle, I blended some light pink ink coming out from behind the clouds. I thought this would be sweet since this is a baby girl card. 

I stamped the little bear in the blanket and an umbrella from an older set, Rain or Shine. I colored them both with Copic markers and added some details with at white gel pen. I cut the bear out using the coordinating Baby Bear dies, and I fussy cut the umbrella. I adhered the two of them together. I just thought it was so cute to have the umbrella dropping the baby bear into the clouds. 

I used one of the many sentiments from the baby bear set and stamped it on the front cloud in the same pink I had blended in the background. Then it was time to put the card pieces together. I popped the bear and umbrella up with a little foam tape. Finally I added some stars from the Star Border Die and some sequins for a little sparkle.
