Have a Wild Birthday

 Hello there! I’m up over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a card I created featuring the fun Savanna Safari stamps and dies.

 To create my card, I started out by stamping some of the adorable animal images from the Savanna Safari stamp set and coloring them using Copic markers then I used the coordinating Savanna Safari dies to die cut them out. I also used the Tropical Scenes stamp set and dies and used the palm tree and vines images.

For my background I die cut a piece of the Summer Splash cardstock using the Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies and matted that piece with some green cardstock. I used the Stitched Semi-Circle dies with white cardstock and blended on some carved pumpkin and mustard seed distress oxide ink along the top and stamped the bottom with the water/hill image from the Tropical Scenes set which I colored using Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment onto a banner and added some tropical leaves from the Radiant Plumeria stamp set and dies. After that I adhered my animal images, popping up the lion and toucan bird with foam tape.

You Brighten my Day - CTD599

Hello there! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge where we have some fun new colors for all of us to create with.

For my card I used the sweet Picked for You Hello Bluebird stamp set and dies. I kept my card clean and simple other than the images. I stamped and colored my images using Copic markers then used the Pick For You dies and die cut them out. 

Next I used a stitched rectangle die and die cut a piece of white cardstock. On my actual white card base, I blended on some tumbled glass and twisted citron distress oxide ink and stamped two of the grass images along the bottom and then adhered my die cut panel over top. After that I added my images popping up the girl and bunny with foam tape and then stamped my sentiment onto a stitched die cut circle.

You’re the Burger to my Fries

Hello there! I’m up over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a card I created featuring the fun Cruisin’ Cuisine and dies.

The Cruisin’ Cuisine stamp set is such a fun set with so many options to switch up the cute food truck with hot dogs, ice cream and more. The first thing I did to create my card was to stamp the two images from the set, the truck and hamburger with fries. I also stamped the three bottles of sauce and added the words burger bus on the door. I colored these images using Copic markers and then used the Cruisin’ Cuisine dies to die cut them out.

Once my images were done I used two pieces of the Classic Gingham Cardstock paper one in red and another in yellow and I used the Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies to die cut a stitched edge on both pieces. Next I used my Misti tool and stamped my sentiment on the yellow bottom piece, added a strip of black cardstock above and die cut a Stitched Semi-Circles from white cardstock. I added my images using foam tape and my card was complete.

Have a Sweet Birthday - CTD598

Hi there! I’m hostess this week over on the Color Throwdown Challenge and I’ve chosen the colors pink, aqua, gold and white. I hope you’ll take the time to play along!

For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Baked With Love along with the coordinating Baked With Love dies and I created a slimline card with lift the flaps. I used this week’s CTD colors and the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge which is Interactive Cards.

To create my card, I first stamped out images from the Baked With Love stamp set and colored them using Copic markers then die cut them out. Then I thought it would be fun to have some cute animals mixed in with the baking images so I stamped a batch of the little ducks from the Rub-a-Dub-Dub set, colored them and used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

Next I used the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps die and die cut a piece of pretty in pink card stock and then used some pretty in pink ink to randomly stamp the two cupcake images from the set and to also blend around the edges of my die cut piece. I used a piece of aqua mist card stock for under the flaps and again randomly stamped the cupcake images this time in aqua mist ink then adhered the pink die cut piece and aqua piece together. 

After that it was fun to added my stamped images to my card creating little scenes within each square. For some dimension I popped up the little ducks on the top flaps with some foam tape and for my sentiment I stamped it onto a banner that I die cut using the Everyday Sentiment Banners.
