Tropical Scenes Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a new slimline card using Tropical Scenes along with various different stamps sets. I loved to combine all these cute images for my jungle scene:

I first inked my white cardstock panel with green Distress Oxide Ink and added water droplets. Then I die-cut the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies from white cardstock, inked them, added water droplets and adhered them to the top of the panel. I die-cut the tree trunks from Rustic Winter Dies, colored them with Copics and adhered them. Now I stamped all the images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card, raising some with foam tape.

These are all the sets I used:

Tropical Scenes and matching dies (jungle border)

Savanna Safari and matching dies (giraffe + bird)

Fabulous Flamingos and matching dies (leaves, flowers and pineapple)

Love Monkey and matching dies (monkey + vines)

Pirate Pals and matching dies (parrot)

Silly Sloths and matching dies (sloth + leaves + hibiscus)

Radiant Plumeria (hello)

Finally, I stamped the "Hello" onto a strip of black cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, notched the end and adhered the strip to the card.

Wishing you a wonderful day everybody! Thanks for visiting!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the fabulous Tropical Scenes Stamps. I picked the leafy jungle border to create another Savanna Safari scene. I also added two cuties and a vine image from the Love Monkey set.

For my background, I first masked off the bottom half of the Bristol cardstock panel. I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord to create a gradient purple sky. When it was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. The baobab tree was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Next, I turned around the mask to work on the sandy ground. But before I started with the ink blending of Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap, I die cut the little island which I will turn into a small pond later. For a bit of interest, I added ink splatters with a paint brush. I chose Tumbled Glass and Broken China to ink up the pond and also die cut one of the waves. I inlaid the pond die-cut back into the negative space of the ground.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The solid grass and leaf image were stamped with green dye ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Finally, I tucked the hippo inside the wave slit and arranged the other images around the pond and up in the tree.

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

Stitched Semi-Circle Focused Cards with Tammy and Ana

Hi friends, Tammy here. Since it's July 1st, I thought a Christmas in July card would be a fun way to kick off the month. My card today is featuring the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, paired with the darling flamingos from Fabulous Flamingos. These cuties are ready to spread some holiday cheer, tropical style!

To begin, I cut white cardstock to a 5 1/2" square. using the largest die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, I cut out a window. Next, I ink blended a piece of Bristol cardstock with Abandoned Coral and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. Using the Catch A Wave Dies, I cut a wave border and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers for a nice, bright water line. I then cut a sandy border, using the Woodland Borders Die, and ink blended it with Antiqued Linen and Vintage Photo Distress oxide inks. Using a paintbrush, I flicked some thinned down brown paint onto my sand to create some interest.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets: Fabulous Flamingos/ Coordinating Dies, Merry Mice/ Coordinating Dies, Tropical Scenes/ Coordinating Dies.

Copic Colors used - Flamingos: R22, R20, R30, R00, Y38, Y35; Pineapples: YR24, Y35, Y15, Y11, YG17, YG03, YG01; Santa Hats: R22, R24, R29, R39, W0; Palm Trees: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01, E40, E42, E44

Using foam tape, I attached the white stitched panel over my inked background. I arranged the stamped images onto my card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension.

To complete my card, I stamped my sentiment (combining Fabulous Flamingos and Merry Mice) onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally, I attached my card front to a 5 1/2" square white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my tropical Christmas in July card! See you next time.

Hello friends! It’s Ana today with a fun card showcasing Stitched Semi Circle dies, Savanna Safari stamps and dies as well as some beautiful patterned papers! I wanted to create a safari scene but change up the colors a bit. Savannas get really green at certain times of the year so I thought some greens and yellows would look super cute and bright!

I chose papers from Spring Fling paper pack and started working on the background. I used stitched rectangle mat die (from Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies) to cut out the green background piece. I used the same die and partially die cut the yellow piece creating a square. Out of leftover green grass paper I die cut a lace border with Eyelet Lace Border dies.

Next, I used the second largest Stitched Semi Circle die and die cut the sunrise patterned paper and stamped the trees (from Savanna Safari) on the scene using olive green ink. I stamped the critters with Memento Tuxedo black ink, colored them with Copic markers and cut them with coordinating dies. Little bird and a flower are from A Bird’s Life stamp set.

I assembled the card by adhering the patterned papers with glue tape then popped the stitched semi-circle and the critters with foam tape and stamped the sentiment with black ink. I added some fun interest to the design with yellow confetti from Rainbow Dot Confetti pack and my card was finished.

I really hope you like this sweet card and got inspired to create some scenes with patterned papers and dies! Thank you so much for spending time with us today and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Radiant Plumeria Cards with Angelica & Mendi

Hi friends! This is Angelica, and today I am sharing a card showcasing the beautiful Radiant Plumeria stamp set.

I picked the layered leaves to make a one-layer card. I used my MISTI, making it easy to stamp several panels. The inks used are Pinkfresh Studio color families, and the black ink is Versafine Clair Nocturne. I used a Sharpie pen to add black dots. To finish the card, I used a C2 Copic marker to add drop-shadows to the leaves.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with ideas on making backgrounds.

Hi there!  Mendi here with a second card featuring the Radiant Plumeria Stamps and dies.

For my card today I started by cutting a piece of grid paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack cut to 4.25" x 5.5".  I then cut a piece of white cardstock to layer over the top, cutting it at an angle using the long edge of our Frilly Frames Stripes dies, cutting a second scalloped border from a small strip of white cardstock to run along the bottom edge of my card.

For my floral arrangement I stamp my flowers from the Radiant Plumeria set in three different color combinations (ink colors listed below) and popped up the white plumeria in the center with foam tape for extra dimension.

I finished off my card by stamping the word summer with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I then stamped the word happy onto a little strip of white cardstock and popped it up with a piece of foam tape as well.

Savanna Safari Cards with Lynn and Ashley

Hello there! It’s Lynn here today and I’m excited to be sharing a card I created featuring the fun Savanna Safari stamps and coordinating dies.

To create my card, I started out by stamping some of the adorable animal images from the Savanna Safari stamp set and coloring them using Copic markers then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also used the Tropical Scenes stamp set and coordinating dies and used the palm tree and vines images.

For my background I die cut a piece of the Summer Splash patterned paper using the Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies and matted that piece with some green cardstock. I used the Stitched Semi-Circle dies with white cardstock and blended on some Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink along the top and stamped the bottom with the water/hill image from the Tropical Scenes set which I colored using Copic markers. 

I stamped my sentiment onto a banner and added some tropical leaves from the Radiant Plumeria stamp set and coordinating dies. After that I adhered my animal images, popping up the lion and toucan bird with foam tape.

---------------------------------------------------------

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a clean and simple card using the adorable critters from Savanna Safari! 

I knew when I first saw the set that I wanted to make a sunset scene. I blended Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold for the sky and added Scattered Straw for the grass. I stamped a few trees from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black on top, then added grassy details with Copics. I die cut the overlapping circles from Snowflake Circle Frame from metallic gold cardstock, then cut down my ink blended background to fit inside. I added the circle piece to a white card base.

I stamped the animals from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics before cutting them out with the matching dies. I used foam tape to add them to my card. I then stamped the sentiment from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black on the white card base to finish.

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

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sealiously Sweet Cards with Keeway Tsao

Hello friends! It’s Keeway Tsao from Kiwi Koncepts and I’ll be sharing some summer inspirations with you today. This year has been tough for all of us and never before I have I be so thankful to have this hobby to help me stay sane indoors and continue to reach out to my friends and family through cardmaking!

My projects will be focused on the recent summer release, particularly the Sealiously Sweet stamps! These adorable seals caught my eye immediately and I can’t get enough of them. I colored the entire set with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I also used the Tropical Scenes stamps to help me set this fun tropical scene for my adorable seals. I did some simple ink blending with distress oxide inks to give it that oceanic look and then I stamped my sentiment in the top right corner.

I added my colored island onto the card and then all the different seals for this fun, tropical party! Don’t you just want to jump in and party with them?

This next card uses the remaining seals and accessories that didn’t quite make it to the first card! This time, I decided to go for an oceanic shaker card. I used the Stitched Arch dies and Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper to create my frame and added a layer of acetate sheet behind it.

I created a simple backdrop with ink blending again and lightly splattered it with water and paint. I added some layers of foam tape around for the shaker frame and added lots of iridescent blue, green, and clear sequin into the area to give it that ocean sparkle. I then added my frame to close off the shaker area.

I usually like to shake the card at this point a couple times to make sure I had a good “seal” around the card so that sequins aren’t falling out. Then, at last, I can add the rest of my images to the card with foam tape.

I hope you enjoy today’s inspiration. Have a lovely summer!
