Fabulous Flamingos and Chickie Baby Cards with Leanne and Mindy

Hello everyone, Leanne here! I hope you all are staying safe and healthy. I have been taking advantage of the extra free time to catch up on my card making and other crafty endeavors. For today's card I really didn't have a specific design in mind. I pulled out one of my favorite Sunny Studio stamp sets along with some Distress Oxide inks and just played around with them. 

I started with an A2 size panel of white card stock. I created an ink blended background using Tattered Rose, Ripe Persimmon, and Picked Raspberry Oxide inks. I began at the top and blended the three colors from lightest to darkest for an ombre' effect. I didn't take the color all the way down to the bottom of the panel. Instead, I die cut a border where the Picked Raspberry blending stopped. I used a die from the Eyelet Lace Border set to create the little daisy shaped openings and backed with black card stock. I then generously splattered the entire panel with white and pink paint. 

Next I Copic colored a flamingo and some tiny flowers images from the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set. I decided to use a bold die cut greeting to go with the flamingo. I die cut the word Hello from some black glitter card stock. Using the daisy border as a grounding line, I adhered the flamingo and hello right along that line. I then added the flowers a bit randomly around the flamingo. To finish the design off, I added just a few Glossy White Nuvo drops.

Pink Peonies and Tiny Dancer Cards with Lynn and Ashley

Good morning! It’s Lynn here and I’m excited to share a birthday card I created featuring the beautiful Pink Peonies stamp set and dies.

To create my card, I started out by stamping three of the peonies and some of the leaves from the Pink Peonies stamp set and colored them using Copic markers then die cut them out using the Pink Peonies dies. Next I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die. 

After that I die cut a stitched rectangle and blended on three different colors of distress oxide ink, at one end I used Twisted Citron Distress ink and then blended on some Fossilized Amber Distress ink in the middle and blended it out toward the other end for a lighter yellow. I then went back and blended on some Mowed Lawn Distress ink along the edges of the Twisted Citron end. 

Once my ink blending was completed, I used my Misti tool and stamped my sentiment. After that I watered down some black acrylic paint and added some paint splatters, once that was dry I adhered my blended ink piece to my Frilly Frames piece and adhered my peonies and leaf images, popping up the large center peony with foam tape. I also added some foam tape on the backside of my white die cut Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace piece before attaching it to my card front.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a very special card today! I used the Tiny Dancers set to create a custom card for my daughter's dance teacher. It's her very first year of dance, so she can give this to her teacher after her recital. It's not until June, so fingers crossed it is still able to happen! 

Aren't the dancers adorable? I colored them to look like my daughter and her classmates in their recital costumes (they are going to be bees). It's a two year old dance class, so the poses are a bit advanced, but it is just too cute. My girl is the blondie on the end, in case you were wondering ;)

I started by stamping the five dancers from Tiny Dancers in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink, sketched the stripes in with pencil, and colored with Copics. I went over my pencil lines with a black Sharpie and added some dots and crosses for sparkle with a white gel pen, before cutting the dancers out with the Tiny Dancers dies.

For the background, I blended Pinkfresh Studio inks in Ocean Breeze and Aquamarine. I added spotlights with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide and some Heffy Doodle Memo Tape. I embossed a strip of kraft cardstock with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and blended a bit of Pinkfresh Studio Warm Buff ink for depth to create the dance floor. Then, I cut the whole piece with the frame from Frilly Frames Stripes and added it to some grey starburst paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack.

I stamped the sentiment from Tiny Dancers with Versafine Onyx Black. For a finishing touch and extra sparkle, I scattered a few Studio Katia Iridescent Crystals around the front of the card. Such a cute card for my Tiny Dancer's teacher!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are all safe and well! Have a wonderful day!
