Coastal Cuties Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi guys! Lexa here again with an interactive card using Coastal Cuties Stamps and the coordinating dies. I also use Beach Babies and the coconut tree from Seasonal Trees Stamps. It's an easy interactive card but adorable in the same time. Let's get started!

I started with stamping my images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them using Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I cut all the pieces using coordinating dies. I always enjoy the moment I pop out them.. so satisfying. Then I prepare the papers to create this simple mechanism.

Front: 4 1/4" x 8 1/4", score it at 2 3/4"; Inside: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", score it at 4 1/4"; Back: 4 1/4" x 5 3/4", score it at 5 1/2"

I make a beach scene on the front panel, with all these cuties playing on the beach. Then when you open the card, the image on the circle window will change into water splashing girl. And a sentiment inside, I leave the top part empty so I can write another greetings inside it later.

On the front, I blend Tea Dye Distress Ink for the sand and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky. Beach line is from Ocean of Joy Stamps, and that cute little crab is also from the same set.

It turned out cuter than I imagined. I hope you all love it as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Hello! It's Rachel here today and I have a fun pop-up card to share with you today featuring the new Coastal Cuties Stamp Set. I combined this set with the Beach Babies Stamp Set, which coordinate perfectly with each other.

I decided to make a floating floor design for this set to create what I hoped would look like a fun 3D summer day at the beach. I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I then used both the coordinating Coastal Cuties and Beach Babies Die Sets to cut them out. I also added some fun little palm trees from the Sending Sunshine Stamps and Dies and a cute little crab from the Best Fishes Stamps and Dies. (For details on how to create a similar card, you can check out THIS prior post of mine.)

To add to my beach scene, I used the beautiful Summer Splash Paper Pad for the sky, the water, and the wave. In order to cut the wave, I used one of the Catch A Wave Dies. I also added a sand dune in the back of the card using the Wavy Border Dies and some Kraft Card Stock. I then used liquid adhesive to add all of my images.

For the outside of my card, I went with a simple design and used a 2" x 12" belly band to hold my card together. I used one of the cute little girls from the Coastal Cuties Stamp Set and added a bird from the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set. I then added a beautiful scalloped frame using the Fancy Frames Circle Dies and heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto some black card stock.

Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed my card today. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Slice Of Summer Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hey everyone! Vanessa here with a watercolor card using Slice of Summer. I love this juicy set - perfect for any summer card!

Onto a panel of watercolor paper, I stamped the lemons and the leaves from Hawaiian Hibiscus with Distress Inks, always using a lighter and a darker shade of color. Then I used a watertank brush to blend the colors. After it was dried, I added splatters of ink all over the panel.

Now I covered the front of the card with striped paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper and adhered the watercolor panel. 

I stamped a few more leaves, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered them. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto blue-grey cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it. Finally, I added the clear droplets to the card.

Don't you love those fresh lemon images? I am in the mood for lemonade now :) Thank you for visiting!

Hello everyone, Anja here with a fruity inspiration card. I can't wait for summer and a yummy piece of fresh watermelon. Until then I enjoy creating with the Slice of Summer set.

First, I made a simple watercolor background using Nuvo Atlantis Burst Shimmer Powder. I combined both dies from the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies set and cut it from white cardstock. I love this diagonal striped design and that you still can see enough of the background underneath.

Next, I stamped the lemon, watermelon and lime using dye inks from several companies (you can find the used ink colors below). To make the watermelon seeds look glossy, I embossed them with clear embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut the fruits out.

Dye Inks used- Lemon: Hero Arts Lemon Yellow, MFT Daffodil; Watermelon: Altenew Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat; MFT Limelight, Green Room and SU Shaded Spruce Lime: MFT Limelight, Altenew Parrot

I also created a tablecloth using purple gingham paper from the Gingham Pastels 6x6 Paper pack and a white Fancy Frames Square die-cut. For a little dimension, I popped up the fruits with foam tape. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos set and adhered some sparkling clear sequins in different sizes.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a sunny day!

Fabulous Flamingos Cards with Franci and Mona

Hello friends and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with a Happy Birthday card featuring the Fabulous Flamingos set.

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and then I added some dry embossed details with my scoring board. I stamped my flamingo in the center with a little heart, I masked them and inked up the background, then I removed the masks and colored the images with my Copics.

I stamped some leaves, colored them with Copics and die cut them with their coordinated dies. I glued them on the top left and bottom right corners and cut out the excess.

Finally I stamped my sentiment and added lots of details with my Wink of Stella clear brush and a white gel pen. I'm in love with this simple design and the masking technique gives such a fun twist to a simple one layer card! 

Hope you like my project and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you a cute summer card with the Fabulous Flamingos stamp and die set.

I started the card making with stamping and coloring. I stamped the images with the Fabulous Flamingos, Seasonal Trees and the Sending Sunshine stamp sets and colored them with my Tombow Markers. After the coloring I ran them through my die-cut machine with the coordinating dies.

The next step was the scene. I picked a yellow, striped paper from the Summer Splash Paper Pad and splattered on it with black watercolor. When it was done I adhered it to the card base. Next I made a few die-cuts with the Catch a Wave and Woodland Borders dies.

I stamped the sentiment to the top of my card, adhered everything together and a piece of summer to the envelope is ready.

I really love the result I hope you too. Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! See you next time. Bye.
