Fast Food Fun Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this set of four mini cards showcasing the extra cute Fast Food Fun stamp set. How cool it was to color all those food themed images!

And speaking of which, I started off by stamping my Fast Food Fun images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and used my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers to color everything. And once all the images were done, I added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

I created four 3,5 x 3,5 inches white card bases, and then cut all the pieces of paper to make four identical backgrounds using the third largest Stitched Square die. The grey & white paper is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack and the red gingham paper is from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. I first attached each grey & white panel to a card base using liquid glue, and trimmed each red gingham panel and stuck a piece to each card using liquid glue again. Next I cut four white scalloped frames using the second largest Fancy Frame Square die, and stuck a frame to each card using 1mm foam squares.

I cut four scalloped circle panels out of vellum using the second largest Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, stamped a greeting from Fast Food Fun on each panel using black stazon ink (this ink dries fast and doesn't smear on vellum) and attached my images below each sentiment using 2mm foam squares.

Next I stuck each scalloped vellum circle to a card base using 2mm foam square again, glued some red hearts from the Red & Pink Heart Confetti mix, and added more white details using my white gel pen. 

And that's it! I usually use a million images from many sets to create my projects, but I had a blast making those four mini cards quick and easy using only one stamp set, and I hope that you like them. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Big Panda Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today I am creating a ‘get well’ project for my sister who is recovering from surgery. What better way to cheer her up then to send her a card featuring the cute Big Panda stamp and die set.

The whole idea for this design was combining the panda with a bold background. I browsed through my paper pads and came across this gorgeous rainbow wavy sheet (Spring Fever) which I cut to size so it would fit inside a white scalloped panel (Frilly Frames Polka-Dots). After gluing these two pieces together, I adhered both to a white card base.

Next, I stamped the cute panda (Big Panda stamp), a little bow, the flower bouquet and a letter (Big Bunny). I cut all the images with the matching dies, making sure to use the special die which cuts the arms of the panda. Now the bear can hold the flowers, so cute!! After coloring the images with my copics, I added some white highlights with a gel pen.

Although the panda looked cute against the bold background, I still decided to add an extra layer of vellum to tone the brightness down a bit. I wanted this layer to stick well to the pattern paper, so I adhered the vellum to a large piece of double sided sticky paper before cutting it with the spiral notebook die (Notebook Tabs dies). I glued this piece to the wavy paper at a little angle. My sentiment was taken from the Heartfelt Wishes set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a white banner (Brilliant Banner 1).

To assemble the card, I placed the banner near the bottom of the vellum notebook page so I could tug in the bear behind this piece. I added the bow, flowers and letter and mounted everything with foam tape. After sprinkling a few Iridescent Clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Build-A-Bowl Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Amanda and I'm so happy to be here with you on the blog today! I just received the coolest Build-a-Bowl Die Set from Sunny Studio Stamps and I am obsessed!! You can make all sorts of different bowls with this set!  

For my card, I created a colander for my lemons out of gray cardstock. It’s super simple to create it! You just die cut the handles, oval ring, base and bowl. Secure the hole-y die on top of the bowl with a piece of low tack tape and then run it through your die cutting machine again to create holes in the bowl to convert it to a colander! Glue all the pieces together and you’ve got yourself a colander!

The lemons are die cut using the Fresh Lemon Dies. I cut the lemons with 2 different shades of yellow cardstock and the leaves from a textured green cardstock. Once all the lemons were cut, I arranged them in the colander and then used glue to secure them. I put foam tape and squares behind the assembled colander and the lemons.

For the background, I ran the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies through my die cutting machine with a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25” x 5.5”.

For the arch cutout, I lightly blended Catherine Pooler’s Oh Boy! ink. I placed 3D foam strips behind the arch frame and attached it to an A2 card base. Then, I glued the inner arch directly to the card base. I added my colander and lemons to the card.

I stamped my sentiment from the Slice of Summer Stamps with a Wow! embossing pad onto a piece of black cardstock. Then, I applied white embossing powder to the glue. I used my heat tool to melt the powder and then I trimmed the cardstock into a strip. I placed a 3D foam strip behind the sentiment and added it to the card. To finish the card off, I added a few of the Champagne Clear Jewels with glue.

I can’t wait to experiment with making different sorts of bowls with these dies! So much fun! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspiration from the team!

Silly Sloths & Fabulous Flamingos Tropical Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some tropical critter cards for Summer!

Card No. 1: I paired the Silly Sloths Stamps with the hanging vine border from our Tropical Scenes Stamps for my first card. For my subtle backdrop, I inked up a white cardstock panel with Wilted Violet distress ink before stamping the leafy vine from our Elegant Leaves Stamps repeatedly around the border using PinkFresh Studio Soft Lilac Ink and VersaFine Lilac Bloom Ink. I then trimmed down the piece down using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and mounted it onto a purple print from our Classic Gingham Paper pack. Lastly, I spelled out my oversized sentiment "hang in there" using our Chloe Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies cut from white cardstock.

Card No. 2: For my second card today, I stamped and colored the leaves and flamingo from our Fabulous Flamingos Stamps. I actually colored these more than five years ago, and these were the only images I had left that didn't make it onto an earlier card. I was determined to find a design to use all the images I had left, so I felt delighted with how this card turned out, given the limited supplies and mini challenge I had given myself. Even the circle frame, created by nesting our Stitched Circle Small Dies, was something I had cut out for a previous card and discarded to save for later. As a Northwest gal, I love it when I can recycle like that! 

I inked behind my circle using Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon distress inks and then splattered the surface with water using an old toothbrush. Our Brilliant Banner 2 Dies were inked up with a pink ombre to match my flamingo using Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo distress inks and then stamped with a greeting from the stamp set, which completed my card.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛
