Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a bit of Luck with you. I just can’t get over how cute all the new St. Patrick’s Day products are. One of the first projects I made was this St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake themed card.
I embossed my sentiment onto a black banner cut from the Sentiment Strip Die Set, and added a bakers twine bow to the top corner. I finished this off with the addition of some clay embellishments from the St. Patrick’s Day clay confetti.
Thanks you for stopping by and I hope that you check out all of the fabulous inspiration from the incredible Design Team.
Hello everyone, June here! Today I’m sharing a cute birthday card using some products from the new birthday release and some older products.
I started my card by stamping my images. I used stamps from the newly released Birthday Trainand Party Time sets along with the locomotive from Valentine Train and one of the monkeys from Monkey Friends. I tried to keep the color palette very neutral with some accents of pink and purple.
I wanted to keep my background quite simple not to distract from the busy scene I stamped out, so I decided to use the Eyelet Rectangle Dies to make an extended panel. This gives me a bit more space to work with. I did this technique by rolling it partly through my die cutting machine twice and trimming the edges to fit my card base. I adhered a second panel onto it that I blended some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide on. I also splattered some Dusty Concord Distress Oxide onto it to make it a bit more interesting.
For my sentiment I embossed the ‘hooray’ from the Birthday Trainset on the same pink paper that I used to back my panels onto. I also stamped a sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Birthday to fill up some empty space.
I adhered everything onto my card base using glue and some foam tape and the card is finished!
Isn’t the new release just amazing? I always love products that are birthday themed cause those are the ones you’ll probably end up needing the most. I had a blast creating this card so I hope you enjoyed reading about it :)
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. Last month I made a Valentine’s Day Box Card and I was inspired to create one for St. Patrick’s Day as well!
I started with all of my die cutting of the Scallop Box Card Dies and Stitched Shamrocks Dies from different shades and paper types of green cardstock. My Scallop Box Cardbase was die cut from a solid green cardstock, the scalloped pieces from white cardstock, and the Stitched Shamrocks from a mix of glitter, shimmer and solid light green cardstock.
Using the Layered Shamrocks Stencils, I ink blended different shades of green ink using the Pinkfresh Studio Over the HIlls Ink Cube Bundle onto the scalloped die cut pieces from the Scallop Box Card Dies. Once I was happy with the shamrocks, I also splattered on some metallic gold watercolor and set them aside to dry.
Next I colored in the pot of gold, gold coin, rainbow and shamrocks from the Lucky Stamp Set with alcohol markers, then used the Lucky Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I also stamped the “Lucky” sentiment and solid shamrocks in dark green ink on white cardstock, and “You’re So” with the same ink on a Sentiment Strip cut from light green cardstock.
I love making scene cards and theScallop Box Card die set makes it so easy to create a fun little scene inside.
I started by coloring the stamps from the Penguin Pals stamp set and the Party Time stamp set using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Turquoise Green, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Light Carmine, Light Gray, Cool Gray 6, and Lilac.
Next, I used the Layered Balloons Stencilto create a background of balloons. I inked the balloons using the following Distress Oxide inks: Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, and Hickory Smoke.
Once I finished inking the stenciled background, I die cut it with the layering dies from the Scallop Box Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Party Time stamp setonto the rectangular layering piece that goes in front of the box card and then added all of the layering die cuts to the card base. I wanted it to look like there were balloons floating throughout the sky.
Finally, I added the stamped images to the box card to create a fun little birthday scene. I love using this Scallop Box card die setto create little scenes with stamps. It makes it look so dimensional too!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day! Lisa Mears
Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a fun birthday cake shaker card with the new release. I love interactive cards, but I tend to be afraid making them. The new Cake Shaker die setmakes it a breeze and no more thinking is needed what to fill it with, since we have the Shaker Beads!
First I die cut the Cake Shaker die 6 times: once from blue violet cardstock and 5 times from cream cardstock. As I did not cut apart the cake die and the window, I was sure that all the cakes will have the windows in the same place. (If I cut the dies apart, I usually use some washi tape to hold the dies together while I cut all my pieces). I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together. I placed a piece of acetate under the blue layer before mounting it on top of the cream layers.
Then I die cut the background using the new Pierced Stars Cover Plate and a light grey cardstock. I also cut a bunch of candles from cream cardstock and stacked 4 layers together for each candle to have some dimension. On the flames I used Copic markers.
I filled the cake with Berry Smoothie Shaker Beads and gently adhered the background to it. I love the sound of the beads shaking, it is mesmerizing for me!
For the sentiment I chose a line from the new Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp set and slightly curved it to fit on a banner which I cut from pink cardstock with the Love From Afar die set. I used pink ink as I wanted to add some pink birds which I cut with the same die set. Aren’t they cute?
I wish you liked my card and got inspired to make some easy shaker cards. I cannot wait to make a bunch of this simply design with different colours to boost my birthday stash!
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’m so excited to share my latest birthday card with you! It’s a super easy interactive card with the adorable Pretty Pink Posh ValentineTrain & Birthday Trainstamp sets!
This card is super simple on the outside but inside there’s a rainbow birthday train surprise that pops up!
I love interactive cards but to make them myself, they have to be simple! LOL! This one couldn’t be easier! To create the pop-ups you don’t need any special supplies, just need a way to cut cardstock like a paper trimmer, craft knife or even scissors!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this project inspired you!
Hello crafty friends! Barbara here and I am so happy to have a chance to share a this card that I made for Pretty Pink Posh’s 10th birthday celebration!
This project was made using the adorable Birthday Candles die set. I die cut them from colored cardstocks using two tones for each candle and paper pieced them together using liquid glue. I die cut the flames from white cardstock and added stickles to create a sparkly shine.
You can customize the colors to fit the recipient, or to use up your paper scraps!
I adhered the candles to a panel that I created using the Birthday Words stencil. I used white cardstock and added white texture paste over the stencil for a subtle textured look to really showcase the candles.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy crafting!
Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a bright and cheerful birthday card to share with you all. The latest release is packed full of so many amazing die sets! They all coordinate perfectly and can be used to create so many fun cards.
I started my card by doing all of my die cutting. I used the Big Birthday Cupcake die setfor the large cupcake. I then used the Party Hatsand Birthday Candles diesto create the fun “party” accessories. Lastly, I used theBirthday Mug Additions setto create the star cupcake topper to decorate the top of the cupcake. I just love how all of these sets can be used together to give you so many options.
Next, I used the Pierced Stars Plate to create my card panel. I love the subtle detail this die creates on your background. I then used the Fancy Cake die set to create my white frame for my card. I stamped my sentiment with the Sentiment Strips: Birthday stamp setand attached it to a banner I die cut with the Sentiment Strips die set. Lastly, I attached all the fun birthday images with foam adhesive to finish my card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I can’t wait to see what you create with all these fun new products!!
Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Cake Shaker die set. This versatile die can be used to create both shaker and non-shaker style cards, as I’ve done here.
I wanted to create a floral decorated cake, so I began by die cutting the previously released Spring Foliage die set from white card. I then coloured the images with copic markers.
Next, I die cut the new Cake Shaker die from pearl white sparkle card. I didn’t use the inner die pieces included in the set, which would turn this cake into a shaker. I die cut the candle 3 times from white card and coloured them with copic markers.
The sentiment banner is from the new Big Birthday Cupcakedie set. The sentiment is a separate die that can be added to the banner to cut the letters.
I die cut the banner twice with the sentiment, colouring one set in with copic markers, then popping out the letters and layering them over a clean banner. I also added two more layers behind for dimension. I added some light grey copic colour for some shadow detail too.
I adhered some patterned paper to my 6” square card base, leaving a large 1” white border around the edges.
Next, I adhered the cake in the centre of the card, followed by the banner. Finally, I decorated the cake with the leaves and flowers.
I hope this card inspired you to dress up your cakes using your floral dies. It really stretches your die and makes it so you can use this for a variety of occasions!
Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m super happy to be back on the blog with this set of birthday cards showcasing the ever so cute Birthday Cupcakes. I absolutely adore this new stamp set and decided to make two cards to be able to feature the six cupcakes from that set.
As very often, I started off by stamping the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph’it brush markers.
When it comes to birthday cards, I like to make them extra festive using rainbow colors, and those cupcakes are just perfect to achieve that because there are several sections that just scream for rainbows, such as the candles, the polka dots or the stripes on the cupcakes cases.
Once the coloring was done, I moved on the backgrounds, and cut two 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panels. I covered one of them with salvaged patina oxide ink, and the other with spun sugar oxide ink, and then I created a fun background on each panel using the Layered Birthday Wreath stencils along with oxide inks: picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers, wilted violet and hickory smoke.
When I was done with all the inking, I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on both panels, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink for more contrast. And once everything was dry, I attached each panel to a white card base using liquid glue.
Next I worked on my greetings from Sentiment Strips: Birthday. I white heat embossed “Sending you birthday cheer” on pink cardstock, and “Have a very happy birthday” on turquoise cardstock. I trimmed them both into slim banners using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached each banner on a larger gold glitter banner using liquid glue.
Next I cut two Stitched Torn Rectangles out of vellum using the second largest die from that set, and attached three cupcakes on each panel, as well as a greeting right below those cupcakes, using 1mm foam squares. I added liquid glue at the back of each vellum panel, but only behind the images, and attached each panel on a Layered Birthday Wreath card.
To finish my cards, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and to make them even more festively cute, I added morning dew nuvo drops at different places. That’s it, and we end up with two very bright and colorful birthday cards that, I hope, will make someone smile on their special day.
