Across the Miles + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. I love to make scene cards and today I’m sharing a scene card featuring the Layered Roads Stencil and the Across the Miles stamp set. If you would like to see how I made this card, then watch my video here.

Pretty Pink Posh: Across the Miles + Video

The Layered Roads Stencil is a three layer stencil that will make a road background for your cards. I added Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink for the grass, Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink for the road, and a white pigment ink for the dashes in the road.

Once my stencil was complete, I colored the vehicles from the Across the Miles stamp set using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. The colors I used are as follows: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Carmine Red, Light Blue, Emerald Green, Gray, Blue, Violet, English Lavender, and Orange. After coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies and adhered them to my card front. I also added the sentiments “Vroom!”, “Beep”, and “Sending Smiles Across the Miles!” to the front of the card. I added the card panel to an A2 size card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Rainbow Clouds with Stencils + Video

Hi friends! It’s Mindy with you today to share some inspiration using the Layered Clouds stencil. When all else fails or I’m in a slump, I will normally go for a rainbow. Rainbow never fails!

Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube

The Layered Clouds stencils is a two piece stencil. Starting with one of the layers, I’m going to ink blend a rainbow of colors using blending brushes. I’m using colors from Simon Says Stamp but anything in your collection will work for this.

The colors I’m using are Bubblegum, Grapefruit, Sunbeam, Sprout, Surf, and Lilac.

After I blended this first layer on, I’m going to place the second layer of the stencil on my background. This will slightly overlap some of my previous clouds.

I’m going to repeat my same steps as before using that rainbow of color.

After I remove the second layer of the stencil, I’m going to lightly go over the whole background with the left over ink on my blending brushes, following the rainbow down the front of the card.

I trimmed the panel down to 4” x 5 ¼” and added to a white card base.

For my sentiment, I’m using the Just A Note Script die. I die cut it once from gold mirror cardstock and twice from white cardstock to layer together for dimension.

Truly a simple card that has a strong, happy vibe. Hope you enjoyed today’s card project!

Birthday Dinosaurs

Hello friends! It’s Leica here on the blog and today I am sharing this super fun birthday card using the Dinosaur Friends stamp set paired with the Dino Dig Stencil.

To begin, I cut a 5 inch square panel in white cardstock and made the scene using the Dino Dig Stencil. I ink through the stencil with Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Vintage Photo, and Weathered Wood. I love how easy it was to create a background with this stencil.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Hope Your Day is Rex-cellent directly onto the card panel in black ink. I also white heat embossed Happy birthday onto a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted above the longer sentiment.

Next, I stamped and colored the images from the Dinosaur Friends stamp set. I then cut them with their coordinating dies and foam mounted them onto the card panel. I cut a larger square panel in teal cardstock and adhered the layers together. Lastly, I adhered the panels onto a 5.5 inch square card base.

Thanks for stopping by on the blog today! I hope that I’ve inspired you to make some cards with these products.

Birthday Cats & Presents

Hello, Gemma here. Cats love boxes and I think they’d love a pretty pile of birthday presents too. I teamed the Cuddly Cats stamp set with the Build a Gift die set on my card today.

I began by die cutting the Build a Gift die set from different colours of card stock. I’ve kept my die set connected so I can easily cut all the pieces out at once. It’s fun to create the different boxes using the elements in this set.

Next, I stamped and coloured some of the Cuddly Cats with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Copic colours

Cats: N0-3; W3-W7; N1-7 Cheeks: R30 R20 R22

On a 5.25” square card base, I stamped greetings from the Birthday Scripts stamp set. I then adhered the presents on the card using foam tape, and the cats peeking out with liquid glue to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you for stopping by!

Layered Cars Stencils

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today. I have a fun shaker card using the Layered Cars Stencils from the June 2022 Release. It’s super easy to make and the shaker element always makes me smile. I’m sure anyone would be happy to receive this card.

To start, I cut a white cardstock in 5.5 inch square. I ink through the Layered Cars Stencils using Distress Oxide Inks in Barn Door, Black Soot, Festive Berries, Fossilized Amber, Iced Spruce, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, Weathered Wood. For the windows, I used the Ranger Pigment Ink Pad in Glacier White which turned the colors lighter. I used finger daubers to color in the stencils. They are perfect for small areas.

Next, I cut a sheet of acetate to 5.5 inch square and stamped the sentiment in 4 different areas using Stazon Jet Black ink. I then cut a brown frame using square dies and created a well for my shaker. I then foam mounted 3 sides of the frame onto the card panel and added some 4mm Summer Mix Sequins inside before removing the backing of the last side of the frame. Lastly, I adhered the card panel onto a 5.5 inch square card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope that I’ve inspired you to create some cards with the Layered Cars Stencils. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this new design. Happy crafting!

Mini Slimline Cards + Video

Hi friends and welcome back! It’s Mindy with you today to share inspiration using the Layered Roads stencils and Across The Miles stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh: Mini Slimline Cards + Video

I love how these layered roads come together. The layering of the stencil makes it super quick and easy to create a background.

I’m using Twisted Citron & Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks for my hills, Pumice Stone and a hint of Hickory Smoke distress oxide for the pavement and a bit of white paste for the lines of the roads.

Don’t let coloring the images intimidate you! Do a little emboss resist to quickly add color to the images from the Across the Miles stamp set.

I have a secret to share …… these two mini slimline cards were a happy accident. I meant to create one card but I trimmed the background down incorrectly. Since I put a lot of effort into the background, I was not going to let it go to waste.

I did sneak in one additional sentiment that came from the Birthday Scripts stamp set.

I think these sets are super versatile because not only are they great for little kids, but I think adults too!

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration.

Sunflowers & Bees

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a get well soon card that will sure bring a smile to your card recipient. For this square-shaped card, I used a combination of previously-released sets: Bee Friends stamp set and Sunflowers stamp set.

Let’s begin! I first cut a 4 inch square in white cardstock and ran it through a die cut machine with a dot embossing folder for texture. I then adhered it onto a 4.5 inch square light pink card base.

Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the flowers and bees. I used Copic markers – BG10, E49/47/44, N3/1/0, Y13/11/00, Y38/35/23/21/08, YG99/23/21. I adhered the leaves onto the card panel using liquid glue, foam mounted the sunflowers on top for dimension, and glued the bees on the flowers. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I love this set as it covers a lot of occasions for cardmaking. It is my most used stamp set. I white heat embossed the get well soon sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered on the bottom left side of the card.

That’s all for this card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Layered Stencils with Laura Bassen

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a colorful project to share featuring the adorable, new Construction Trucks products. Never thought in a million years that I’d be gushing over construction truck, but here I am, gushing at them in rainbow goodness!

Here is a video showing how I created this card.

Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube

Pretty Pink Posh: Layered Stencils with Laura Bassen

For the background I used the Layered Construction Trucks Stencil Set. This set has three stencils that allow you to build your construction trucks in tons of colors. Get it? Tons. See what I did there?

I used the Construction Trucks coordinating dies to cut out the blended trucks and pop them up onto a cream panel. For the sentiment I embossed the Loads of Love from the Construction Trucks Stamp Set in white onto a simple, black die cut circle.

This colorful, dimensional background idea can be easily adapted using the Across the Miles images as well as the Dinosaur Additions products. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Stomping By to Say Hello

Hello crafty friends. Davina here, “ Stomping by”, with a fun dinosaur filled slimline card using the amazing June Release. There are two new dinosaur sets full of the cutest images and accessories. I used both Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions to create this card.

I stamped and colored my images with bold primary colors, before using the coordinating dies to cut out my pieces. Next, I used a large stitched slimline die to cut layers for my background. I inked the layers and background using distress oxides in bold bright colors. Then I used Ranger Grit Paste and the Layered Dinosaur Stencils to emboss the footprints into my shorter layers.

I arranged the images onto the layers, and adhered them throughout, after stamping a sentiment toward the bottom, with the addition of the new Hello Script die. Once everything was in place I finished it off with some sparkling sequins and layered it onto a red card base.

I had so much fun creating with the new playful release and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Thank you for “stomping” by,

Davina

3D Spring Foliage

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a floral card stack type of card. It’s super simple to make and I hope that you will try this style.

I first cut the Card Stack Base Dies (by Concord and 9th) in white cardstock. I added design and color to the side panels by inking Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks through the Mini Grid Stencil. I also added a background panel and ink blended it with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink onto the front strip before putting the card stack together. Then I cut some flowers and stems from the Spring Foliage Dies in pink, purple, and green cardstock. I glued them onto the inserts of the Card Stack. And this completes the card! Wasn’t that so easy?

For the flowers, you can always add contrast by inkling the edges or adding colors with Copic markers. Anything goes!

That’s all for today’s card share. Thanks so much for stopping by!
