Hi friends! This is Angelica and I’m really excited to share a couple sneak peeks with you today! I am showcasing the new Jungle Friends, and Jungle Additions stamp sets, as well as a few other new products in the June 18th release.
The zebra and Elephant are from Jungle Friends. I also used the turtle from Jungle Additions. I colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. The background is made with the new Nature’s Essentials die. This unique die gives you several elements to make a scene. I blended Distress Oxide inks over the die-cut paper. I white heat-embossed the Jungle Friends sentiment onto my background card stock, and blended Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar, and Picked Raspberry distress oxide inks for the sky. I finished the card with a stitched frame from the Nature Essentials Die.
My next card is a clean and simple card featuring the adorable hippo from Jungle Additions stamp set.
I used warm Gray Copic markers to color him. The background I made with the new Layered Leaves and Flowers stencil set. I followed my die-cut machine’s instructions to dry-emboss the card front with the leaves stencil.
I attached the hippo to the card with thin foam squares, and finished the card with a sentiment from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set.
Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped get you ready for the new release! Happy crafting!
Hi Friends! Jane here and I’m so happy to be sharing sneak peeks of the new summer Pretty Pink Posh release that will be available on June 18th! Here are a few cards using the Monkey Friends stampset and coordinating die sets along with a few other new items!
For this card, I white heat embossed images of the ferns from the new Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions stamp sets and ink blended them using peacock feathers, cracked pistachio and twisted citron inks. Tombow ABT colors: 407, 195, 133 used to fill in the leaves with a water brush.
The cute monkey was colored using copics and images from Birthday Friends andParty Friends used for the hat and cupcake. The sentiment is from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set(releasing on June 18th) and it was white heat embossed on black cardstock.
The next card shows an adorable monkey family hanging out on a tree branch at sunset. The little monkey is being taught about being brave so, this sentiment from the new simple sayings brave is perfect! The monkey family was stamped using memento tuxedo black ink and colored using the following copics: E25, E34, E53, E41 and E50. RV21 and RV00 added to the cheeks. Bananas: Y17 and Y02. Leaves: BG49, YG06 and YG01.
Background was created by blending wilted violet, picked raspberry, dried marigold and mustard seed distress oxide inks. Die cut used are from the new Stitched Leafy Borders and Nature Essentials(releasing on June 18th).
My last card uses a new Jungle Background Stencil (releasing on June 18th). The background was inked at the edges using Catherine pooler inks: all that jazz and lime ricky. Elements from the Nature Essentials and Stitched Leafy Borders die sets added to create my scene. The little monkey was colored using copics and hung from an ink splattered vine.
Thanks so much for joining me today! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the upcoming June 18th release!
Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have three rainbow cards to share with you all. I’ll be using a range of products from last year’s summer release and then a few sentiments sets as well.
For my first card I’m creating a silhouette style card. I started off by used a range of Distress Oxide Inks and ink blended onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. I went in rainbow order diagonally across the card. Once I finished ink blending, I flicked on some water, picked it up with a paper towel and dried my piece with a heat tool. I then used the Tropical Birds andSummer Surfboards dies and partially die cut them from a black piece of cardstock. I didn’t put the plate over the bottom half of the dies so they wouldn’t cut through. I then took a knife and cut between all the pieces to create a sand bank. I added foam tape onto the back and adhered it at the bottom of my ink blended panel.
For the sentiment, I used the ‘Aloha’ word from Tropical Birds, curved it on my acrylic block and white heat embossed it directly onto the background. Lastly, I scattered six colours of sequins onto the background over their respective colours and that finished up the first card.
For my second card, I created a CAS card using rainbow surfboards. I started off with stamping out six surfboards onto some white cardstock and colouring them in with Copic Markers. I thencut them out. For my background, I used the Tropical BG Stenciland used it for dry embossing. I did this by using it the same way I would with an embossing folder; but using rubber mats instead of the actual folder. Once that was all run through, I adhered my surfboards into place.
For my sentiment, I paired both Summer Surfboards and Halloween Pals to make ‘Happy Summer’. I like mixing fonts for sentiments. I white heat embossed that onto a think black strip and adhered it over the surfboards. I cut off the excess and that finished up my second card.
For my final card, I used the Tropical Frame Die to create a colour blocked frame. I started off with eight colours of cardstock and cut ¾” strips from each of them. I laid them down into rainbow order and adhered them together using washi tape. I took the Tropical Frame Die and cut it from the coloured cardstock. I removed all the inside pieces, added foam tape onto the back and adhered it onto a white card base.
For my sentiment, I stamped the large ‘Thank You’ from Everyday Greetings into the centre using a stamping tool. I then used Fall Scene and white heat embossed the ‘For All You Do’ sentiment onto a thin black strip of cardstock. I popped it up on foam tape and adhered it into place. I then used the same colours of sequins and scattered them around the card as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed all the rainbow inspiration.
Hi everyone! It’s Rina here and I have a fun shaker card for you today using the Tropical Frame Die. A2 sized dies are a staple in my craft room, it makes card making so easy! I love making these quick card fronts using these dies.
Watch the video for a step by step tutorial on how to make this card.
The Summer Surfboard stamp set has my heart. The images are so fun to color with their graphic designs and patterns. I also added an extra toucan image from the Tropical Toucans set to finish off this card.
For my shaker mix, I used theCitrus Jewels along with the mini gold stars and sparkling clear stars. I love the shine and sounds a shaker card makes. It is always so fun to give someone a shaker card because it always brings a smile!
I hope you try making this fun beachy card! Thanks for stopping by!
Tape the stencil down over your paper using Purple Tape or some other temporary tape. Begin by stenciling theLeaves stencil using a small sponge dauber and Twisted Citron Distress Ink. Tap the ink down with the dauber, making sure to saturate the open areas of the stencil with color. Go back with a darker color (Mowed Lawn) Distress Ink and place color just at the base of each leaf stem, giving dimension and shading to your stenciled images.
Die cut three leaves using the Small Stitched Foliage Dies. Color the leaves using the same shades of Distress Inks to match your stenciling. Add white accents with a gel pen.
Stamp the Elephant Friends and die cut with the coordinating dies. Color the images with gray and pink Copic Markers. Add white accents with a gel pen.
Die cut two stitched circles, one for the focal
layer of the card, and one for the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment onto the
smaller circle die cut.
To assemble the card, use a cool gray A2 sized
card base. Layer gingham or other gray patterned paper onto the grey base.
Attach your stenciled layer next. Using foam tape, attach the larger of the two
circles to the center point of the card.
Layer the die cut leaves around the large circle and then attach the elephants using foam tape. Attach the sentiment circle to finish the card.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you were inspired.

I started by stamping, colouring and die cutting a whole bunch of tulips. I didn’t know how many I would need, so I did a lot, and kept the extras for a future project.
Once I had my arrangement exactly the way I liked it, I used a piece of Press’n’Seal to pick it up and then put glue on the back and put it onto my card front. (if you don’t have Press’n’Seal, masking paper works too!).
I finished the arrangement with a kraft tag and some tiny jewels in coordinating colours!

You can create sentiment strips by using a border die on each side of a strip, customizing the width to fit your sentiment or stamped images!
By making the strips narrow, you can create paper ‘ribbons’ or ‘lace’ to embellish your card fronts.
You can also customize the width of your Stacked Edges dies, which are not exactly border dies, but have some similar features.
You can even use the off cuts to get a different look!
You can cut them so that they an even width, by using a grid or ruler, or you could deliberately make them wider on one end for a completely different look!
I hope you’re inspired to get your border dies out and give this technique a try!
Hi, Friends! It’s Caly and I’m here to share a card today made using the Cherry Blossoms set! Spring is finally here and this set gives me all the feels. I love Pretty Pink Posh florals and this is one of the first sets I ever got my hands on.
I’m a bit of a realist when I color florals so I chose a really pale pink with pops of darker colors for the flowers’ centers. I wish the colors showed up better in the pictures, but I promise – there is light pink in every petal!
After coloring my images, I worked on my background. I started with a light blue cardstock and ink-blended with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink around the edges only to create a glow in the center for my floral arrangement.
To frame my flowers, I first die-cut the smaller rectangle from the Scallop Frames set in white and attached it to my ink-blended panel using foam adhesive for dimension. Then I attached my flowers with foam adhesive over the frame. To finish my project, I embossed a simple sentiment from the Bear Friends stamp set in white over black cardstock and adhered it over my flowers at the bottom of the card.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I used both sentiments that are in the set, and the hats and diplomas. I kept the Copic Coloring simple, using the following colors: B24, B6, B29; YR23, Y23; R22, R24, R29; W3, W1, W0.
I stamped the hats and diplomas randomly on this first card panel. I added a drop shadow first, then colored the images. I stamped the solid star included in the set with pineapple ink, and did a second-generation stamp for a lighter star. I added a few black dots with my Copic Marker. I finished with a strip of pattern paper and glitter paper for added interest.
For this Clean and simple card, I cut a panel of white card stock with the rectangle frame from Stitched Notes Die Set. I added a blend of yellow ink to the middle of the rectangle, and stamped the sentiment. I added the coordinating die-cut cap and diploma, and a few Graphite Jewels to finish the card.
Hi and welcome to another day of Celebrations Theme Week. Melody here and today I am going to give you an idea for a Father’s Day Card created with the Father’s Day Stamp Set.
I chose a color combination of light grey, blue, and black for the card. I started by cutting a panel of pale grey cardstock to fit the card front. I wanted to add pattern to the background but wanted to keep the pattern subtle. A combination of pale grey ink and the Triangles Stencil worked perfectly.
Next I cut the Father’s Day Script Die twice from black cardstock. I layered the die cuts on top of each other to give the sentiment a little more dimension. I also cut a strip of white cardstock to go across the card and blended the background with light blue ink.
I stamped the shirt in the Father’s Day Stamp Set three times in black ink and then I colored with Copic Markers. I used T0, T1, T3, B91, B93, and B95. The shirts are die cut with the Father’s Day Coordinating Dies.
The tie on the shirt in the middle is paper pieced and I used a black gel pen to add the strips on the tie on the right. I used foam tape to adhere the shirts to the card.
