Birthday Animals

Hello everyone! Today I want to share this cute birthday card with you. I combined two animals from different stamp sets but they look so sweet together that you wouldn't even know that they're from different sets.

I started stamping my scene on watercolor paper. I die cut the clouds on the top of my paper to see how high I could stamp the bunny. I started with the deer and masked him off to stamp the bunny. After that I masked the bunny too so that I could stamp the tree underneath him. You want to stamp the images you want to be on front first so that the other images can go 'behind' it. When I stamped the scene I stamped the sentiment and I could start coloring the images. I used watercolors to color the images and to finish my card I added it to a kraft colored card.

For this card I used the folowing stamp sets:

• Furry Friends
• As the Deer
• Fly High

- Lucinde

Furry hello

Hello Sweet Friends! It's Monika here today with a CUTE card... I usually make girly cards with flowers, but I love working with CUTE little images from time to time... so today I have a little furry friend (along with a flower)!

 

 

The CUTE little mouse image is from Furry Friends clear stamp set. I stamped the image on water color cardstock, then colored it with Tim Holtz distress inks. I did the same with the flower image from Scribble Flowers clear stamp set. While I hand cut the flower, there is a coordinating die set available if you don't like cutting or simply want more precise die-cuts.

 

The greeting is from Keep in Touch, Too clear stamp set. It is a must have set with all those different sentiments.
The background was sponged with distress inks, then splashed with water... the grass was added with Copic markers. To add more depth to the card, I also added a die-cut fence and a strip of torn silver shimmer paper. Sometimes, it's all about the little details!

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

 

 

 

 

 

Cheesy hello.

Hello Sweet Friends! It's Monika here today with a CUTE card... CUTE is not my middle name so it's not easy for me to come up with CUTE and fun cards... I am a flower and butterfly kind of girl... anyhow... this turned out pretty CUTE.

 

 

The CUTE little mouse image is from Furry Friends clear stamp set. I stamped the images on water color cardstock, then colored them with Tim Holtz distress inks. Fussy cutting the tiny images took me a while, but it was well worth the time...

 

 The circles were die cut with Lifestyle Craft circle dies. Do you see cheese when you look at the card? My husband thought the circles were holes for coins... hmmm! That is not the look I went for...

 

 

The background looked too white so I stamped it with some splatters from Grunge Elements clear stamp set. It added the perfect subtle back drop to those cheese holes!

The greeting is from Keep in Touch, Too clear stamp set. It is a must have set with all those different sentiments. I love a set with variety.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

 

 

 

 

 

The Future is Bright

It's Susie here to share a card made with two great new sets.  The saying is

from the brand new Faith Quote Blocks clear stamp set.  There are five 

uplifting quotes in this set and each is beautiful.

Here's a look at the whole set:

 The other set I used is the Furry Friends clear stamp set.  I focused on the

smaller images to make my background.

 I hope you have a creative day.  Be sure to stay tuned for more 

projects from our design team.

hedgie hi

Good morning!

 

Today I am sharing this card using the Furry Friends and Chunky Alpha stamp sets.

 

I don't remember where I saw a card with a similar sketch, but I love it!  I think it will quickly become one of my "go-to" sketches.  This hedgie is quite cute...I masked him and stamped the stump below so he had a resting place.  Then I chose a patterned paper with a sort-of "woodsy" feel to go with him.

 

Thanks for popping in and… happy stamping!

Diane

 

Furry Friends

Hello! It's Monika here today with a pop-up box card.

After checking out the tutorial on Split Coast Stampers, I was able to make this WOW! card. I made the vertical version so it would fit in an A2 envelope. 

 

 

I love how well it showcases the sweet images from Furry Friends clear stamp set. You can build great scenes with this pop-up design.

I stamped the cute image with Onyx Black VersaFine ink on water color paper and used Tim Holtz distress inks and a paint brush to color them. After fussy cutting the images, I adhered them to the inside tabs.

 

 

While it looks difficult and time consuming, it was relatively easy to make. I made a 'master' template so now I can have measurements and a visual of the flat base card right in front of me...

The designer paper added a nice base to the punched out flowers... and that was all I did for embellishments.

 

It folds flat so it's easy to mail... and look how well the images show up! It only took some 'strategic' arrangement of the images.

 

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika
