Botanical Backdrop Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a birthday card highlighting Botanical Backdrop Dies. This set comes with leafy stitched frame and endless layered flowers to play with. Let's get started right away!

First, I blend Peacock Feather Distress Ink all around the edges. Then I die cut the leafy frame on a matching teal patterned paper from Polka-dot Parade Paper. 

I decided to use four color combination for the flowers, which are pink, fuchsia, purple and yellow. Using the flower dies, I randomly die cut bunch of flowers and layer them together one by one. It was so much fun.

After I finished with the flowers, I arrange and adhere them on my card using glue and foam tapes for dimensions. I use "happy birthday" from my favorite Everyday Greetings Stamp for the sentiment, I silver embossed it on an eggplant color paper so it will pop up more. Last but not least, I add pink jewels from Pretty Pink Posh to add some sparkles.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you all like my card and have an amazing day.

Hello friends!  It's Rachel here and I am sharing two cards today that feature the gorgeous Botanical Backdrop Die.

For my first card, I created a fun shaker card and combined the Botanical Backdrop Die with the cute Magical Mermaids Stamp Set. I thought that the leafy frame could pass as some ocean foliage and nicely frame a little underwater scene. I colored all of my images with Copic Sketch Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For the underwater background, I blended some Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet, and Dusty Concord) onto a sheet of Ranger White Watercolor Paper.  I then spritzed this panel lightly with water, blotted it dry with a paper towel and then set it aside to completely dry.

Once my background was ready, I added some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape around the edges and added my embellishments. I heat embossed my sentiment with Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a sheet of Heat Resistant Acetate. Once I attached the acetate, I then glued the final frame onto the outside of the card.

For my second card, I didn't do any stamping at all. I simply die cut my images and lightly blended them with some ink. I used the Colorbox Ocean Ink for the green/blue tint and the Colorbox Lemonade Ink for the small yellow flowers.

I added a sheet of the Gingham Pastels Paper Pack to the background and then adhered a 3D version of the sentiment "Hello" by die cutting it 5 times.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Wishing you all the best weekend!

Puppy Dog Kisses Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with a card using the adorable Puppy Dog Kisses Stamps. I am still in the mood for spring, so my puppies are standing in a bed of flowers.

First, I inked the front of a white card base with a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Inks. Then I die-cut the Woodland Borders Die from green cardstock and adhered it. Now I die-cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies from pink patterned paper from the Flirty Flowers Paper and adhered the frames. 

After I had stamped the sentiment from the Party Pups set, I stamped the flowers and dogs onto white cardstock. I colored the images with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered everything, popping up some parts with foam tape.

These cuties are adorable, don't you agree? Love their faces :) Thank you for visiting, see you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here today with an interactive card. I rarely create these kind of cards but the Sliding Window Die makes it soo easy!

First, I created an A2 card base from aqua cardstock. I die cut a stitched rectangle from the violet grid patterned paper (Gingham Pastels 6x6 Paper) which is slightly smaller. Next, I used the sliding window die to create the interactive part. It's a flap with three folds that can be popped up – but the card can be mailed flat into an envelope. Make sure to only put adhesive to the outside frame when adhering it to your card.

I kept the design of my card front pretty simple and decorated it with a white heat embossed birthday sentiment (Everyday Greetings Stamps), a cake (Make A Wish Stamps) and three die cut hearts (Basic Mini Shape Dies).

When you fold the flap up, the inside will be revealed. And here is my fun surprise – the two cute dogs from the Puppy Dog Kisses set are ready to celebrate and they brought a pile of gifts, too.

The gifts are from two other stamp sets (Alpaca Holiday Stamps and Foxy Christmas Stamps). I stamped all images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. In the background, I blended together two Distress Oxide Inks (Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass) on a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock.

I loved creating this interactive card – it looks really sweet on display :-) Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Staggered Circles Dies Cards with Franci and Mona

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a happy card featuring the Staggered Circles set. I decided to create a rainbow inspired card with these fun circles and I'm so happy about how it turned out!

First of all I created a standard size card and I cut down a coordinated panel both out of white cardstock. I placed the die onto my panel at an angle and passed it through my big shot machine. Then I colored all my circles in rainbow colors with Distress inks and I also inked the backs of all my "circle windows" onto the front of my card to make it even more colorful :)

I glued down all my circles and the panel with foam adhesive then I die cut the Rainbow word and these little hearts out of some Preppy Prints paper and added them to my design.

Finally I stamped my sentiment from the Over the Rainbow stamp set and the card is complete! Hope you like it too and thank you so much for stopping by today, have a lovely day!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you a sweet card featuring Breakfast Puns Stamp Set and Staggered Circle Dies.

I started the cardmaking with die-cutting. I used the Staggered Circle Dies to create a fun look in the background. When it was done I made dry-embossing with Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder. When it was done I colored it with brown watercolors and it turned to ice cream wafer.

Next I made ink blending in the background. I used my Distresses in the following order: Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar and the result is a fresh "jelly" color look in the background.

The next step was heat embossing. I stamped the sentiment to the background from the Breakfast Puns and heated with white embossing powder.

The last process on my card was stamping and coloring. I stamped many cute strawberries hearts and cute toasts with the Breakfast Puns Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers.

Copic Markers used: 0, RV52, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV55, RV66, R20, R24, R29, R59, YG01, YG03, YG93, E42, E43, E30, E33, E35, E44, E47

I styled my card, adhered the parts together and finished my card. In the end I added a little sparkle to the white die-cuts with Wink of Stella clear brush marker. 

Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you like my creations let's be friends on Instagram. :)
