Fishtail Banner II: Have a Sweet Day! with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  For this week's card I used one of my all time favorite sets Sweet Shoppe and combined it with the great Fishtail Banners II dies. These are so versatile and useful.

I chose one of the great sketches you can find here.

Sketches are so much fun to use. They are always a fantastic starting point for your project and you can build your idea around them.  I started by stamping all the sweet treats, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them (there are coordinating dies available, too).  I used totally untypical colors for me. Most of the time there is some turquoise on my cards but I tried to step out of my comfort zone.

I searched for some matching patterned paper in my stash and found this really old one. It might be six are seven years old bit I don't think you would recognize if I haven't told you.
I die cut that patterned paper and some off-white colored cardstock with the Fishtail Banner dies. The patterned paper I matted with some darker cardstock for more contrast.
I stamped the sentiment on the cardstock banner and adhered everything onto the card base.  For the little something I added some Glossy Accents to the treats.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.

Fishtail Banners Colourful Chevron Sweet Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here today to help feature the new Fishtail Banners II die set. I absolutely LOVE the first set, it's so versatile and unique and so today I'm going to combine the first set and the second new set today as well as the Sweet die and Sweet Shoppe stamp set also.

To begin my card I first started off with die cutting I took a piece of watercolour cardstock and used the Fishtail Banners I set to die cut the arrow shapes. There are little grooves on the dies so it's easy to line them up perfectly centred on your card - which is one reason I LOVE these dies. I also used the lines on my grid mat to get the arrow shapes the right height. Once they were all die cut I used 5 different colours of distress ink to ink blend onto the arrow pieces. Once that was done I did my favourite water splotch look on top and dried it with my heat tool. I then took the Fishtail Banners II set and used the little piercing die that comes in it and lined it up on my arrow die cut pieces to give it some embossed detail.

Once that was done I took a piece of white cardstock and adhered down my arrow pieces onto it, leaving the same amount of space between each one. I then took the Sweet die and cut it out of black fun foam and some black cardstock and adhered them together. I then adhered it to my card also. I wanted an extra sentiment on top so I took the 'for someone' sentiment from the Sweet Shoppe stamp set and used my MISTI tool to stamp it onto the pink arrow piece - I could have used an acrylic block but since it was stamping on an un even surface, I wanted something I can double stamp with. To finish up my card I adhered the piece on some fun foam and them onto a kraft card base.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you got inspired and you'll check out the Fishtail Banners dies - they are truly amazing and unique!

Woodsy Creatures Love You Card by Lexa

Hello there crafty friends!  Lexa here with a happy fall card, featuring my favorite stamp set from the new release, Woodsy Creatures. I looove critters, so you can guess why this one won my heart. Fall is around the corner, even if there's no fall where I live. But I do really love fall colors--They're so pretty!  Maybe I should visit a four seasons country the next time I travel in the fall. :)

I started by making my own patterned paper.  Using a piece of green cardstock, I stamped some of the smaller images from Harvest Happiness and Woodsy Creatures with a tone-on-tone technique. Then on a smaller panel I blended some Distress Inks as the background for my images to sit. I use Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers for the sky and Mowed Lawn for the grass.

All the images are stamped with black Versafine ink that works perfectly for watercolors. Creating a scene is one of my most favorite processes in cardmaking.  It's so much fun! I also added a flower wreath on the girls' head and I think it's super cute. After I finished my scene, I layer it with a piece of burlap to add texture plus it matches all the brown and natural colors on my card.

Here's the close up look, I hope you like this card as much I do. Thank you so much for reading until the end. Wishing you a great day!

Woodsy Creatures Girly Chipmunk Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody!  Vanessa here with a card using the amazing new Sunny Studio release!  I so love all the sets and enjoyed playing very much. For today's card I used the adorable set Woodsy Creatures stamps & coordinating dies.

I inked a white card base with green ink and added various green ink splatters. Then I trimmed two pieces from Kraft cardstock and adhered the larger one to the card with foam tape. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the "hello" from Sweet Shoppe set onto the smaller piece and adhered it with foam tape, too. I stamped, colored and die-cut the squirrel from Woodsy Creatures and adhered it. Then I finished the card off with sequins.

Don't you love that cute face? This set is another new favorite of mine :) Hope to see you back again next Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

Woodsy Creatures Thanksgiving Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a card using the so cute Woodsy Creatures. This is my third card using this set, and it is just too fun! This time I went with a Thanksgiving theme. Let's see how this card came together.

I began by cutting an A2 sized card base from some patterned paper. Next I cut a scalloped oval from some teal polka dot paper. Then, I cut a white oval to do my stamping on. I decided to use the little squirrel and fox from the Woodsy Creatures set, and I wanted them to be dressed up for Thanksgiving. I stamped a feather headdress for the squirrel and the pilgrim hat for the fox. I then masked off the hats and stamped the critters' heads and bodies. I then stamped my sentiment and scattered some falling leaves to complete my scene. I colored all my images with Copic markers. To finish up the card, I rounded the corners of the card base and added  some Wink of Stella to the leaves and hats. 

That's it for me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and will continue to check back to the blog for more inspiration. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Woodsy Creatures: Sweet Birthday Wishes with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Isn't this hedgehog from the set Woodsy Creatures the cutest?
I still had a colored milk shake from this card left (from the set Sock Hop) so I decided a hedgehog wants to drink a milk shake now and then, too. I love it when different sets come together so easily.

I stamped and colored all of the images that I wanted to use in my little scene and then I fussy cut them.

For the background I added some ink blending to my cardbase. I used Distress Inks in Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon. I love to add splatters of water to my background for that bleached effect.

The Sweet Word die is one of my favorite so I decided it would go perfectly with the milk shake. I die cut it several times from turquoise cardstock and once from white cardstock. I stacked it up to get some dimension.  The rest of the sentiment is from the Sweet Shoppe set. I stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed it in white on black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.

Woodsy Creatures Thankful For You Card with Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I'm here to show my project for Woodsy Creatures - this is such a super fun set. I love woodland creatures and this one has some super fun elements to make scenes with. :)

To begin my card today I stamped, coloured and die cut all my images out. I used Copic Markers this time round since I didn't have many images to colour. I then took some green distress inks and made a nice blended background on some watercolour paper. I used my favourite water splotch technique to give the green blended piece a little interest.

Once the background was done I arranged my scene on my card and then white heat embossed a sentiment from the Harvest Happiness set on a black die cut banner. Once everything was adhered I foam mounted the panel onto a kraft card base and the card was done.

Thanks for stopping by today, make sure you check by the blog the rest of the week for more inspiration.
