Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Birthday Wreath and Birthday Circles stamp sets. I thought it would be fun to add a circle image inside the wreath. They go together so well!

I stamped the wreath and circle, then coloured the images with copic markers. I die cut the wreath with the coordinating die, along with an extra die cut layer to add dimension. I cut out the circle image with extra space around the edges, so it could be adhered behind the wreath image.

Copic marker colours

Koala: W0-3, R20 R30 Present: BG11-15, RV52 Birthday Wreath: R22-24, YR14-16, Y13-15, YG01-05, BG11-15, B00-02, BV02, V000 V01 V12, RV52-55, E51-53

Next, I worked on the background. I die cut the Pretty Petals Background from white card. I popped out the pieces and adhered it over some patterned paper. I then added this to an A2 card base. This CAS background complements the wreath and circle images beautifully.

I adhered the circle wreath images on the card, then finished by adding a gold heat embossed sentiment, using a stamp from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I layered it over some satin gold mirror card.

Hello! It’s Lindsey here, and I had a blast making today’s card.  Have you seen the new Build A Gift dies? They are fantastic! These dies are perfect for birthdays but also lots of other celebrations. I’m thinking weddings, graduations, and Christmas to name a few. Lots of possibilities here! 

I stuck with a simple color scheme of white, light aqua, and pink sorbet. I ran all the dies through the die machine and cut a set of pink and white, and then mixed and matched until I had a pile of gifts. It was loads of fun!  

I wanted each gift to be unique, so I used the tails on some bows but not on others. I also used the negative and positive polka dot cuts. Even a simple change like vertical vs. horizontal orientation added to the variety.

When all my gifts were completed, I popped them up with dimensional foam tape on my aqua card base and embossed a sentiment from Birthday Scripts in white to finish off the card.  

The Build A Gift dies are so much fun! This is definitely a set you will want to add to your collection. I know I will be using mine lots!

Thank you for celebrating with us today and for all the love! We hope to see you bright and early tomorrow for day #3 of the birthday celebration.

Hello friends, welcome to day 1 of the birthday celebration blog hop. Leica here today and I have a box card to share with you all. For my card, I used the Crafty Critters stamp set and coordinating dies, which are free gifts with qualifying purchases this month in honor of Pretty Pink Posh turning 8 (details later in this post). Hooray for more adorable critters and craft-related stamps!

To begin, I assembled the MFT Outside the Box Level Up die in white cardstock. For the panels, I covered them with patterned paper. I added 2 inserts in the box and filled it with the cutest images – all from the Crafty Critters stamp set. I used Copic markers in B04/02/00, C5/3/1/0, G 19/16/14, RV25/23/21, Y18/13/11, YR04/02/00.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed “happy” on a strip of black cardstock and stamped “crafting” with pink ink, then cut with the coordinating die. Lastly, I adhered all the stamped elements onto the card front and inserts.

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a slimline card using the new Love Balloons stamp set. This set has some adorable critters, plus alpha balloons that spell LOVE. I know you will love this set as much as I do!

For my card, I started by cutting the large rectangle panel from the Slimline: Peekaboo Window Dies in white cardstock. I then made a cloud stencil by cutting a cloud piece from the Nature Essentials Die. With the cloud, I ink blended the panel with Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered gold and white acrylic paints onto the panel. 

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Love Balloons stamp set and coordinating dies.

I used the following Copic markers:
Beaver – E47/44/43/42
Bunny – W5/3/1
Chipmunk – E29/27/25/23/21
Skunk – C7/5/3/1/0

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the “Happy Valentine’s Day” stamp from the Valentine Wreath stamp. I foam mounted all the elements onto the card panel. Before adhering to a card base, I added a layer of pink cardstock for more color.

Hey friends! Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards. A new Pretty Pink Posh release is here and I have a super fun and festive project to share with you. Go ahead and grab a coffee and join us for a fun blog hop showcasing lots of fun inspiration using the new release plus a chance to win a prize!

To start my project I took 4 pieces of heavyweight white card cut to 6”x6”.  Taking the Layered Holly Stencil I took stencil B and ink blended on the holly leaves in a green, teal shade all over each of the card panels. I then used stencil C to blend a slightly heavier layer of the same ink through the apertures to create the spines of the holly leaves.  Lastly, took stencil A to apply a red ink through the holes to add berries to the panel.  Before removing the stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Sceptre Red to give some sparkle and added dimension.  To add a little more interest to my card panels and add extra sparkle I splattered on some gold metallic paint over the top of the stencil pattern.  I set all 4 panels aside to dry and thoroughly cleaned my stencils and paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I prepared my tags and sentiments.  Firstly I die cut some tags from white card stock using the Stitched Essentials 1 die set.  I used a border die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and cut away the bottom half of each tag.  For the tags, I added sentiments using the beautiful new Holiday Scripts stamp set in a black pigment ink.  I also prepared the sentiments for my cards while my card panels were drying.  I stamped the words ‘Merry’ and ‘Holidays’ on to white cardstock with a black pigment ink and used the Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut out the words.  I also white heat embossed the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Happy’ on to black cardstock and trimmed into thin strips. 

Using a guillotine, I trimmed 2 of my holly stencilled panels down to 4.5” x 4.5”.  I wrapped a strip of vellum around each card panel and adhered each end to the back with double sided adhesive.  I put foam tape on the back of each panel and adhered each one to a white 5”x 5” side folding card base.  I applied my pre prepared sentiments on to the vellum strip with liquid adhesive. 

Taking the Stitched Essentials 1 die set again, I cut tags from the remaining holly blended panels.  I adhered the stamped tag pieces over the top of the stencilled tags with liquid adhesive.  I used a hole punch to add some holes to the tags and popped some red thread through the openings.   

As a final embellishment on both the cards and tags I added some new Metallic Gold Pearls in various sizes using some liquid adhesive.

Did you hear the news? We’re giving away this not-yet-released 4 layer stencil called Layered Plaid with qualifying orders over $125. This is while supplies last and will automatically be included with orders.

Hello, Gemma here and I have a jolly Christmas card to share, using the new October release using a bright and bold colour scheme of red and blue.

I stamped images from Snowman Friends and Village Additions and coloured them with my copic markers. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Next, I worked on the background. I adhered a panel of patterned paper to a 5.25 inch square card base, then added a piece of white card for the snowy ground.

Copic marker colours

Snowmen: B00, B000; YR14; E74, Clothes: B63, B66, B69; R22, R24, R27
Trees: E74; G14, G07, G28

I arranged the images in the scene, adhering them directly on the card, apart from the smaller snowman who is popped up with foam tape.

For the main sentiment, I used the fabulous Holiday Scripts stamp set, which is a must-have. I love having the coordinating dies for the large words, which offer lots of possibilities. My favourite way to use this set is to heat emboss the words in white on coloured card stock, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I added a couple of die cut layers behind the Merry word for dimension.

I embossed the second sentiment on a strip of red cardstock, then adhered both at the base of the card. For a fun extra sentiment, I decided to give the snowmen a speech bubble sentiment. I used the previously released Stitched Speech Bubbles die set, cutting one from white card and another from red.

I stamped the sentiment from Snowman Friends in blue ink, to match the colour scheme, then offset layered the speech bubbles together on the card to finish.
