Tranquil Tulips Cards with Isha and Lien

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card featuring the Tranquil Tulips stamps and dies. I love the layering stamp as it creates dimension without spending much time coloring.

I started by sponging various blue and black soot distress inks to create the ombré background. Die-cut the window using the Stitched Arch dies. Adhere the center arc to a blue card base. Now adhere the negative part using 3d foam to the card base. Flick white paint.

Stamp the images using pinks and yellows for the tulips and greens for the leaves, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. Stamp the word "CHEERS" from the Big Bold Greetings stamp, using versamark ink onto a dark blue card, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp and emboss the butterflies onto vellum from the Watering Can stamp, die-cut using the dies. 

Assemble all the images to the card. To finish I added some nuvo jewel drops in grey mist.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day.

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here back with a fun field of tulips!

For this card I started out by stamping out the Tranquil Tulips quite a few times.  I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to make yet, and mass producing some images to use later on is a great way to clear my head and get into a crafty zone. 

To mass produce layered stamped images like this, I die cut a bunch of blank pieces first with the coordinating dies. I also saved a piece of paper with all the negative spaces of the flowers in it. On the back of that, I put a bit of purple tape so the sticky side would peak through to the front. I put that piece of cardstock in my Misti and puzzled in the blank die cuts. I line up the first layer of the stamps and stamp it on all of my blanks first in different colors. I used purples, pinks, oranges and yellows. 

After the first layer is stamped on all of the blank die cuts, I puzzle them back into the guide paper and line up the second layer of the stamps. I do this for all the layers of these beautiful tulips. This saves you time because you don't have to line up the dies for every single image. 

For my background I used Distress Spray Stains on watercolor cardstock for a quick watercolor look. You can also do this by adding a lot of water to your ink smooshing.

I propped all of the tulips up on foam tape at the bottom of the card and finished it by die cutting a sentiment using the Hayley alphabet die sets, I used both the uppercase alphabet and the lowercase alphabet. Before die cutting the letters, I actually put a piece of foam tape on the back of my colored cardstock. It's easy to die cut through thin foam tape and make your own puffy stickers.

Hayley Alphabet Focused Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hi crafters, Bobbi here! I’m sharing a card featuring the new and beautiful Sunny Studio's Hayley Alphabet dies. The letters come in uppercase and lowercase and fit together to create cursive-style words and sentiments. With the help of one sweet bird from the Little Birdie stamp set, I’ve turned a “Happy Day” into a “Happy B-Day,” with one simple letter, B! This feathered friend just swooped in to turn the day into an even more special birthday!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped and cut out six different birds, the birdhouse, and four tree limbs. I colored them using the following Copic markers:

Birds: B04, B02, B00 E53, E51 and R81
Birdhouse: RV17, RV09, RV02, 100, C7, C5, and C3
Limbs: E59, E57, E55, E47, E43
Leaves: YG67, YG23, YG03

For the card base, I used two pattern papers from the Spring Fever pattern paper pad. The pink is 5-1/2″ long X 5″ wide and the green paper is 1-1/2″ long X 5″ wide. I attached a light pink cardstock strip measuring 1/8″ thick to the seam for a more finished look.

I cut out the Hayley letters from white cardstock and attached the letters in the green band area. I added the “B”  letter to the bird’s feet and attached the bird and letter using foam dots to make it stand out. This happy day is now a Happy B-day!

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a card espresso-ing a little thanks! I just love the scripty font of the Hayley Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabet Dies and how much of a statement they can make on a card front!

I went with a clean and simple design on this A2 card to really let the alphabet dies take center stage. I started by cutting a piece of kraft cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2” and centered a Frilly Frames Stripes Die on the panel. After die-cutting the piece, I cut a piece of dark brown cardstock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4” and adhered it to the back of the kraft cardstock. I then adhered this to an A2 card base.

 

Next, I die-cut a piece of gray cardstock with a Fancy Frames Rectangles Die and adhered the frame surrounding the stripes. For the focal point of my card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with a Stitched Rectangles Die and heat embossed sentiments from the Words of Gratitude Stamps in the corners. I then softly inked the center of the rectangle with Antique Linen and Spun Sugar Distress inks. I die-cut a piece of pink cardstock with a Fancy Frames Rectangle Die for a mat and adhered these pieces to the center of the card.

 

For the Espresso sentiment, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso Distress inks in a gradient and die-cut the piece with the Hayley Uppercase and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. I love how these letters look in a slightly rounded form. They wrap so nicely!

 

To finish, I stamped the cup and macaron from the Paris Afternoon Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics, and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added sweet smiley faces to them using the Summer Sweets Stamps.

 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
