Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card featuring a custom sentiment made with the versatile Hayley Alphabet Uppercase and Hayley Alphabet Lowercase dies. I love the scripty font of these dies and how easy they are to connect in creating words. The possibilities are endless with these amazing products.

As I have mentioned before here on the blog, I am always in need of fun birthday cards! So, what better word to spell than ‘Congrats’. I die cut all the letters from pink card stock and adhered them together with some drops of liquid glue. The letters all overlap to create that fluid scripty font, having the word already created will give me the opportunity to play around with the correct placement in a later phase.

The Cherry Blossoms stamps were the perfect match for the cute bear from Panda Party. First, I stamped the layering flowers in three shades of pink inks from my stash. For the leaves, I kept with the cool tones and went with a vibrant blue color. I used the same color for the Winter Wreath. The panda was stamped, die cut and colored with Copic markers. Of course, he needed a party hat too!

With so much going on in this design, I created a simple striped background panel with a stencil from my stash. I placed all my components on the background and decided I needed another small sentiment (‘It’s your birthday’ from Little Birdie). I didn’t have a card base in the same blue color as my leaves and wreath, so I just inked up the sides of a white one for a perfect match.

Next, I glued the background panel to that base and popped up the wreath, flowers, leaves and bear with foam tape. Lastly, I added the ‘Congrats’ word and sentiment banner. A few blue jewels from the Bright mix were scattered around the wreath.

I am sure you will love these amazing alphabet dies as much as I do! Can’t wait to see all your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful birthday card featuring the Hayley Alphabet Dies.

I was inspired by my former team mate Kavya and her colorful creations! First, I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my slimline card base and inked the background with Broken Glass and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Inks. 

Now I stamped all my images from Panda Party, Fast Food Fun, Looking Sharp and Lovable Llama. I colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card.

Then I die-cut the letters, spelled "Spec-taco-lar" and adhered them. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the rest of the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it before adding highlights with a white gel pen.

I hope this happy card will brighten someone's day! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Clucky Chickens Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hello Friends, Waleska here with you! The most recent release is full of cute stamps but the one I am featuring today in my card is one of my favorites, the Clucky Chicken Stamp Set, it is so much fun!

This card is kind of clean and simple I had to stop myself when adding all this chicks.  I started creating the front panel of my card, I cut a white 3 1/4 panel and cut two stripes from the red and white gingham paper from Joyful Holiday Cardstock and adhere it to a white card base.  I then cut a circle and used a cloud and a grass stencil to create the little scene, I used Oxide inks Tumbled Glass for the sky and Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover for the grass. 

I stamped all the cute chicks, chickens and hen house, color and cut them with their coordinating dies and started assembling the scene.

To finish my card I stamped one of the funny sentiments on this set with Versafine Nocturne Ink. So cute and ready to make someone smile! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Hello crafty friends! Marine here! I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this super cute and busy interactive scene showcasing the most adorable hens and chicks from Clucky Chickens. The moment I saw this stamp set I knew that I wanted to make a Magic Picture Changer card to make one of the eggs crack open and make a sweet little chick appear inside the chicken coop.

I started off with the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and did some stenciling to create a farm landscape. At the bottom of the panel, I created a muddy/sandy section using antique linen + vintage photo oxide inks. And on the top section, I used a cloud stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass + salty ocean oxide inks to create a lovely cloudy sky. Next I cut another 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel, I cut a grass border out of it using a die from Picket Fence Border Dies, and I colored that border using shabby shutters + mowed lawn oxide inks.

Once my landscape elements were done, I centered and stamped my "Welcome to the world little one" greeting from Inside Greetings Congrats on top of the panel, and then I created the whole interactive mechanism. Please check the video down below to watch the process from start to finish.

Next I stamped a bunch of images that I picked from different sets:
most of the images from Clucky Chickens
the grass from Garden Critters
the sunflowers from Happy Harvest
the fence from Barnyard Buddies
the small scalloped details from Spring Scenes + Country Scenes to create birds

As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers + Graph'it Brush markers. And once all the images were done, I attached them on my panel using 1mm + 2mm foam squares mostly, as well as 3mm glue dots and liquid glue at some places. And finally I added highlights on the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! Super cute and fun, I love those tiny chicks, they're just so adorable! And I love how Sunny Studio stamp sets can be combined to create little scenes! Well, I hope that you like this new card, don't forget to check the process video for more details! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Rainy Days Die Focused Cards with Catherine and Marie

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I am sharing an alcohol ink background card featuring Rainy Days Dies and Panda Party Stamps.

To start, I created a rainy background using Navy Blue, Manganese, and Turquoise Piccassio Alcohol Inks on Yupo white cardstock. I highlighted the rainy background with a few rain drops from Rainy Days Dies. I die cut the umbrella from Rainy Days Dies using paper from Spring Fever Paper. I ink blended the umbrella handle with Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Oxide.

Next, I stamped and die cut the adorable pandas from Panda Party Stamps and colored the pandas with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below. I finished off the card with a White heat embossed sentiment from Spring Showers Stamps and adhered it onto the matching background paper from Spring Fever Paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please feel free to visit me at Crafti-Cat.

Here there crafty friends! It's Marie back again for another Springtime card inspiration! Today I am featuring the Rainy Days Dies. This set includes the cutest rain boots and umbrella dies perfect for creating Spring themed projects. 

To begin this card, I used a square die to cut my card base from Bristol smooth cardstock. I cut a smaller square using a bright and fun pattern paper from the Spring Fever Paper. Taking a circle die, I cut out a circle in the middle of my pattern paper. I then adhered the pattern paper to my white card base. I cut another circle using the same die I used to cut the center of my pattern paper. I cut the bottom of the circle using a grass die. I inked up the grass using Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, and gave it some water splatters for texture. I then adhered it inside the center circle for a perfect fit.  For the sky portion, I lightly ink blended the inside of the circle using Salvaged Patina Distress Ink.

My next step was to die cut the umbrella and rain boots from 110 lb. Neenah Solar White Cardstock. This heavyweight paper gives each shape a sturdy base perfect for paper piecing and layering. I then used some yellow polka dot pattern paper for a classic rain boots look and a pink floral pattern for my umbrella using the same Spring Fever Paper. I gave the bottom of the rain boots some distressing using Vintage Photo distress ink to mimic being out in the mud. I also gave the umbrella a little bit of distressing on the edges. 

I wanted to add something super cute to the inside of one of the rainboots, so I pulled a super adorable bunny image from the Chubby Bunny Stamps.  I stamped this little image onto watercolor paper and used some Faber-Castell WaterColor pencils to quickly color. Then I cut out the image using the corresponding Chubby Bunny Dies. I had to trim down the bottom half of the bunny so it would fit inside the rain boot. I added some cute flowers to my grass using the dainty little flower dies from the Wonderful Windows Dies.  Lastly, I added a cute "Hello Spring" sentiment from the scripty words included in the Chubby Bunny Stamp set! 

I am in love with how this card turned out and how it screams Spring is here! Thank you for joining me today! I hope you all have a wonderful crafty week! And until next time, Happy Cardmaking!

Garden Critters Cards with Isha and Lien

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a fun baby card featuring the Garden Critters stamp and dies. These cute critters are so much fun for a baby card and it was so easy to incorporate other products from the previous releases.

I started by creating the back panel of the box by sponging some clouds using kitsch flamingo distress oxide ink through a cloud stencil. Flick pink and white inks. Next, I die-cut the grass using the Slimline Nature Border dies. Adhere to the inside layer panels of the box. Next, I stamped the images, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Rest of the images - Garden Critters stamp and dies
Tree and the Log - Seasonal Trees stamp and dies
Elephant and the sentiment - Baby Elephants stamps and dies
Mushrooms - Fall Friends stamp and dies

Adhere the images to the box. Stamp the sentiment. I adhered the bees using a stripe of acetate for the feeling of them floating.

Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day!

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here, with my favorite card I made for the spring release! You've seen plenty of clean and simple cards from me that feature a lot of white space, but I also love a dark background with some bright pops of color on there. I started out by stamping a ton of images from the adorable Garden Critters stamp set in alcohol marker-friendly ink. 

I colored them in with my Ohuhu markers and then put the paper back in my Misti to stamp all the images one more time with Versafine Onyx Black ink. This is black pigment ink and because it dries quite slowly it's perfect to add clear gloss embossing powder to it. 

I die-cut all the images with the Coordinating dies and I also die-cut some tiny flowers and leaves that are included in the Wonderful Windows die set. They'll be perfect to fill in some small gaps in my design later on. 

I cut a piece of dark green cardstock to A2 size and glued it onto my white card base. Now I didn't have enough images to fill up the entire card, so I wanted to fill in a smaller rectangle in the center of it. To do this, I temporarily adhered a basic rectangle die to be my guide, this way I don't have to erase any pencil lines once I'm done. 

I propped all my critters up on some foam tape and filled up any gaps with the white flowers and lime green leaves. To finish this card, I white heat embossed a sentiment on light green cardstock and cut it out with a small oval die. I added that to my card, making sure to not go outside the frame I'd created with my critters. I hope you like it!
