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!

Best Fishes Cards with Rachel and Lexa

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here and I'm really excited to share with you today the brand new Best Fishes Stamp Set. I absolutely adore all of these cute little beach/sea creatures!

I created a fun little box card to share with you today that showcases this set. To start, I first created the base of my card with a scoring board, scissors, paper trimmer and adhesive. When folded, this card fits perfectly into a standard A2 sized envelope.

I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used my Copic Sketch Markers to color everything and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For my waves, I blended some Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and then used the new Catch A Wave Dies to cut them out. I also added some sandy beach portions using the little island from the Island Getaway Stamp Set as well as the Ocean of Joy Stamp Set. I used some patterned paper from the new Summer Splash Paper Pack for the background clouds as well as the side panels on my card.

I added two different palm trees using both the brand new Sending Sunshine Stamp Set and the Seasonal Trees Stamps. For my sentiment, I heat embossed it onto a strip of black card stock and then trimmed it with my paper trimmer. I placed it on two colored pieces of brown card stock to make it look like a banner being held by the cute little crab and the lobster.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, don't forget to check out my INSTAGRAM feed! Hugs!

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card featuring the brand new Best Fishes Stamps and the coordinating dies. I bet you enjoyed last weeks sneak peek through the new releases. So many wonderful new goodies right there, a week full of inspirations! So here's my take to create something from one of the cutest new stamp sets.

I start with an idea of vertical aquarium on my card. So I make 5.5"x1" and 5.5"x2" white stripes from a cardstock and created another 5.5"x2" with a watercolor paper. I think it's been a while since I did my favorite watercolor background like this. I use Salty Ocean, Peacock Feather, Tumbled Glass and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks to create the background. I just simply scribble some of them on a plastic sheet and sprayed a good amount of water to kind of blend them together. Then I put the watercolor paper on it. Yes, it's that simple really.

I stamped the images from Best Fishes with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Inks. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating die to cut all the pieces in one go. Aren't they the cutest? I love them all, especially the hammer head shark! I also add rosy cheeks and googly eyes on them to add extra cuteness. I also stamped some bubbles with blue dye ink on the background. I want to keep rest of the card simple and white to keep the vertical aquarium the main point of my card.

That's all for today, I hope you like today's post and my card as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by today and have an amazing day!

Coastal Cuties Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hi everyone, Anja here and I'm delighted to share my first card using some of the new Summer Release products. Today I'm showcasing the Coastal Cuties Stamps. The two girls included in this set are having so much fun in the sun!

I created a square card and die cut the yellow sunburst paper from the Spring Sunburst 6x6 paper pack for my cheering background. For the water, I pulled out some Alcohol Inks in aqua and blue tones and die cut the Yupo paper with a circle die. Next, I die cut one of the Fancy Frame Circle Dies from white cardstock and adhered it on top of my Alcohol Ink circle.

I stamped the girls as well as the palm tree (from the new Sending Sunshine set), island image (Island Getaway Stamps) and crab (Oceans of Joy Stamps) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I covered the girl's floating ring with Glossy Accents for some extra shine.

For the sentiment, I combined the gold heat embossed word "Sending" and the Sunshine Word Die which I die cut from golden glitter cardstock. To finish off my summer card, I adhered three aqua jewels to the water.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again next Thursday!

Hello everybody! Vanessa here with a summer card using the new Coastal Cuties set. For today's project I wanted to create the look of a swimming pool, so I took out my watercolors.

To achieve this, I first masked off a rectangle on a panel of watercolor paper. Then I drew the lines with a masking fluid pen. After the blue watercolors were dried, I removed the masking fluid and the tape and adhered the panel to the card base.

Now I stamped the girl onto white cardstock, colored her with Copics, die-cut the image with the matching die and adhered it to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment and the water splashes and colored these with Copics.

This new release is amazing again, don't you agree? Love every single bit of it! Hope to see you next week for more inspiration using the new products!
