Seasonal Trees Cards with Eloise and Leanne

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a card using the Seasonal Trees Stamp Set. This set is perfect for scene building and honestly one of my favourites from the release, but instead of using in conjunction with other sets, I used it on its own today.

I started off with stamping out the trees, plus some additional images from Seasonal Trees and the parrot from Sending Sunshine onto some white cardstock and coloured them in with Copic Markers. I then cut them out and set them off to the side.

(Copic Markers Used: YG06, G03, G05, G09 / YG11, G21, G24, G43 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / YG01, YG23, YG07, YG17 / Y23, Y32, YR24, YR27 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / R14, R27, R29, R39 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19

For my background, I cut a piece of watercolour cardstock to 3 1/2” x 6” and used washi tape to mark off each 1 1/2”. I then used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend each section according to the season. I used yellows for Summer, purples, reds and oranges for Autumn, blues for Winter and light blues for Spring. Once they were all ink blended, I sprinkled on some water and dried it off with a heat tool.

(Distress Oxides Used: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber / Wilted Violet, Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin / Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon / Salty Ocean, Broken China)

Next, I added foam tape onto the backs of all my images and adhered them into place. I also adhered all the additional images into their respective places as well. For my sentiment I decided to use a simple ‘Hello’, so I white heat embossed the ‘Hello’ sentiment from Sunny Sentiments onto a black strip, added foam tape on the back and adhered it onto my scene. Lastly, I cut down a white woodgrain card base to 6” wide by 8” tall, scored it at 4” and adhered my panel on top.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed and feel inspired. See you next week.

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I have a very cheerful card to share today. My card features a fun scene I’ve built with the help of some images from the new Seasonal Trees stamp set. I’ve also used some of the new pattern paper which perfectly sets the tone for my card. 

I started with an A2 card base. I covered the front with cloud pattern paper from the Summer Splash paper pack. I created two layers of grassy hills with the Woodland Borders dies and a green gingham pattern from the Classic Gingham paper pack. I stamped and Copic colored the tree, birds, birdhouse, and tiny flowers from Seasonal Trees. I also used a sun image and greeting from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set. 

I added the images to the scene and stamped the greeting directly onto the cloud paper. To create a little extra depth to the sky, I added two die cut clouds that I layered around the sun. These clouds were cut out using the new Fluffy Clouds dies. 

Thanks for joining me today! I’ll have another April release project to share next Monday. Have a fantastic week!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Fabulous Flamingos Cards with Keeway Tsao

Hello there! It’s Keeway Tsao from Kiwi Koncepts and I’m excited to be back guest blogging here again! The Summer 2019 release is absolutely fantastic and got me pumped up for the warmer weather. Today, I’ll be showcasing the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set in two flamazing cards!

I stamped all the flamingos in the set in a dark brown hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers. Then, I used the matching dies to die cut the images out.

I created an ink blended background with Evergreen Borough, Broken China, and Antique Linen Distress Oxide inks. Then, I heat embossed the sentiment in silver towards to top center.

For the shaker, I created a white frame to encase some sparkly sequins and chunky glitter by using the Frilly Frames Chevron Die and a basic rectangle die to cut out the center.

I closed the shaker area with only one layer of foam since I was working which much finer shaker components. The chunky glitter sure adds a beautiful effect doesn’t it!

For my next card, I also used the foliage images in the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. I love all the variety! I also stamped the images here in dark brown hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers, and die cut with the matching dies.

I wanted to create a scene with the bottom looking like water, so I ink blended a background with Chipped Sapphire bottom up and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks top down. For the top half I used the Fluffy Clouds Die to create a stitched cloud pattern. I also die cut a couple clouds out of white card stock to add.

I heat embossed the sentiment ‘happy summer’ in white in the bottom center. Then, I added a line of foliage right at the edge of the water. I added my flamingo trio last to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a beautiful weekend!
