3 Cute & Easy Cards Ideas + Video
Hello Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I have clean & simple cards to share featuring the Playful Puppies stamp set. This stamp set is filled with images of cute little puppies and some fun accessories to go along with them.
Birthday Wishes Card
Just like always, I started working only cards by stamping all of the images in copic marker friendly ink onto white paper. I love to mix and match stamp sets and today I am mixing a few Birthday sets. I used images from the Birthday Friends set – balloons, party hats and gifts and stamped some along with my puppies.
I used the following Copic marker colors for my coloring:
- E79, E37, E33 and E31 to color the dark brown puppy;
- E31, E11 and E00 to color light brown puppy.
- B02, B00 and B00
- YG13, YG01 and YG00
- Y35, Y15 Y13 and Y11
There are coordinating dies available for the Playful Puppies stamp set and also there are dies for the Birthday Friends stamp set so I used those to cut my colored images out. Next, I stamped Birthday Wishes sentiment in black ink and foam mounted images on top.
I trimmed panel to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhered it onto an A2 white side folding card base. I also used a bunch of things to embellish this card and add some details. I started with a shimmer pen to add some sparkle to the gifs and balloons. Next, I added some jewels in Sea Glass and Spring Green and lastly I used my Nuvo Drops in clear and later Glossy Accents to add some dimensional details to the dots on the party hat, gifts, balloons and puppy noses. Nuvo drops will crack if you apply they over a large area, so I used glossy accents for the balloons to prevent cracking.
Happy Birthday Card
For my next project I decided to use Birthday Scene stamp set. I love Birthday banner and balloons in the background, but I wanted to switch up the critters that are holding this banner to puppies. To do that I needed to do some masking. I used masking paper and scissors and cut the part that I didn’t need masked. I only needed to be careful when cutting next the the areas where critters were holding the banner and the other areas I just cut out very loosely.
I placed my mask onto white cardstock panel and stamped the scene. Next, I stamped and colored a few more puppies and accessories to go on this card.
I decided to use different colors and make this card into a feminine one. I used: RV13, RV11, RV10 and RV00 Y35, Y15 and Y11 YG13, YG01, and YG00
I also stamped little bows using image from the Fly a Kite stamp set. I colored, cut it out and adhered onto the party hats. I used foam adhesive squares and foam mounted my images in place. Next, I trimmed my panel to 3 3/4 by 5” as my stamping was a bit off to the left and I wanted it centered on the card. I foam mounted the stamped panel onto an A2 card base and added pretty jewels in Spring Green and Watermelon, once again I used Glossy Accents to add dimensional detail to the balloons.
Best Friends Forever Card
I have one more project to share and this one features simple pattern stamping. I love to use small stamps to create my own unique patterns so I was excited to use bone images from the Playful Puppies stamp set to stamp a fun pattern for my card.
There are both solid and outline images in this stamp set so first I used the 2 solid bone images and stamped them using Khaki ink onto kraft paper creating a pattern. Next I used just one of the outline bone images and stamped it over some of the solid images in black ink offsetting it slightly. To finish this card I stamped Best Friends Forever in black ink onto white cardstock panel. This sentiment comes from the Playful Puppies stamp set and next I foam mounted the two puppies in place. This time I colored my puppies gray – one is a warm and another one is a cool gray puppy: W1, W3 and W5 C1, C3 and C5
I added a food bowl and some stamped and die cut bones to complete my scene. I also used a white pen and added some white highlights to the puppies and embellished this card using Metallic Gold Jewels.
All three of these cards are just so adorable!!!
