Anja’s Sun-Kissed Beach Scene Creation

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi crafty friends! Anja is back today sharing a just because card full of summer vibe! Her card features The Sweetest Truck stamp set & its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts; and the Summer Sunshine stamp set & its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

She created the background by die cutting an A2 sized panel with the large die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlay and ink blending it using Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink for the beach, and Mermaid Lagoon to portray the ocean.

She used the little girl server image and the truck from The Sweetest Truck stamp set, combining them with the the girl in swimsuit along with several other cute images from the Summer Sunshine stamp set.

I love how she splattered water onto the ink blended card while adding dabs of white acrylic paint with a bristle brush. This technique really mimics the waves hitting the shoreline!

The extra beverage and the watermelon slices on top of the truck are just too cute! White gel pen details and glossy accents were added for some final touches!

Thank you so much Anja for this summery inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

A Heart Warming Friendship Card with Vera!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi everyone! Vera is back with us to share her beautiful friendship card!

Vera’s card features our My BFF stamp set and coordinating dies from our latest release. I love how she made photo frames to house each group of the critters. They really make a nice composition for the card!

Her background was blended with Distress Oxide Inks, and die cut with the largest die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. You can see the elegant boarder detail close up in the above photo!

I love that she put the kitty trio in the first frame, a pair of bunnies in the second and another pair of kitties in the third, they really tie in the friendship theme of the card!

Besides stamping out the “Best”, “Friend”, and “Forever” on the frames, she also added her own scripty sentiments which compliment the friendship theme.

She added a few sequins to finish off her card with a little extra sparkle!

Thank you so much Vera for sharing this amazingly gorgeous card with us today!

Thanks for visiting, take care and stay safe!

A Delightful Summer Scene Card with Davina!

Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hey everyone! Davina is back to share with us a super delightful summer scene card!

Davina combined cool images from the Summer Sunshine stamp set and The More We Get Together stamp set to create this unique and incredible scene!

She stamped a bunch of images from both sets and colored them up using bright summery colors. I love how the cool kitty is suntanning on the beach and at the same time, having all the cute creatures swimming in the ocean!

She used the largest die from the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays on her back panel for the wonderful boarder detail. She cut the stitched layers from several panels of Bristol smooth cardstock, and inked them up using Distress Oxide Inks.

I just love the splash of water and the watery inks on the cards for the added texture.

She used the sentiment, “Seas the Day” from the Summer Sunshine stamp set on the sand layer then adhered all of the pieces together.  

Thank you so much Davina for this lovely scene. It is so vibrant and lively!  I really love how she composed her card into a split level scene where you can see both the beach and the underwater!

Thank for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Ashley’s Super Adorable Just Because Card!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi guys! Ashley’s card for today will sure light up someone’s day!

Ashely combined images from The Sweetest Truck, Fun Night Out and Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) stamp sets!

I love the scene that she created here! For her background, she die cut a piece of light blue cardstock cut using the largest die from our Dots Meets Dashes Large Rectangle Overlay die (and also die cut with a cloud stitched cover die); together with a piece of light green cardstock as the grassy field.

I love that she had the little cub server inside the truck, and she put so many different desserts into the paws of the little critters! Aren’t they cute!?

Those bright and colorful images were elevated onto foam squares and arranged on the card front. The sentiments from The Sweetest Truck were stamped out onto strips of light green cardstock in black ink, while the word TRUCK was die cut with some alphabet die set out of yellow patterned paper!

I love how she further decorated her card with a bunch of music notes which gave this card an extra ounce of happiness!

This card is super adorable, thank you Ashley for your fun and happy inspiration!

A Lovely Encouragement Card by Anja!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi friends! Anja has made a super sweet encouragement card for us all! This positive energy is absolutely something we all need during these times!

She used the Classic Diamonds Backdrop stand-alone die for her background, and added boarder details with the largest die from the the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays Stand Alone die set. She added a white back panel underneath for a white on white effect which gives it a nice clean look!

She then die cut a smaller panel from the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangle Overlays. To decorate this panel, she used the rainbow image from the My BFF stamp set, and stamp it multiple times with VersaMark ink and white heat embossed them – such a cool idea! She also did the same thing using the butterfly stamp from the set.

I love the vibrant colors she used on her images and the light yellow really gives it a refreshing feel!

She added a little black and white trimming to give it a nice detail. And finally adhered this panel to the diamond backdrop with foam tape for some added dimension!

Thank you so much Anja! These cute rainbows sure put smiles on our faces!
