For this card, I started by using a stitched rectangle die on white cardstock for a piece that is slightly smaller than the card front. I used Pinkfresh Studio Ballet Slipper ink and a blending brush to create some light pink shading along the edges, fading into white at the center. After adding some Pixie Spray to the back of my Flourishing Fuchsias stencil, I used it to make some flowers hanging in from the outside top edges of the piece. I used Pinkfresh Studio inks in Sparkling Rose and Bubblegum to go with the pink background and give the feeling that they were in the distance. Make sure to use some masking paper to cover the flowers you aren’t stenciling!
I stamped several of the fuchsias and leaves from Flourishing Fuchsias in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I added a few details with a white Gelly Roll pen, then used the coordinating Flourishing Fuchsias dies to cut everything out. I layered my stamped and colored fuchsias on top of the stenciled ones, popping a few up with foam tape for dimension and trimming off the overhang.
Once I had all my flowers finished, I added the piece to a light grey card base made from Lawn Fawn Fog cardstock. I stamped the “you are special” sentiment from the Flower Bouquets stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. This might be one of my new favorite sentiment stamps! I finished up the card with a scattering of Pink Blush jewels for some sparkle.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired by this card!
I started by stamping the adorable images from the Summer Fun stamp set. I colored the images with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
For the background I used the Layered Surfboards Stencil set. I used distress inks to blend in the color and flicked on a little Mermaid Lagoon & Picked Raspberry at the end.
I used the Stitched Waves dies with three shades of aqua cardstock and staggered them along the bottom of the blended panel & popped it onto a white card base. I added the cute Summer Fun critters along with a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.
Good morning, friends! Lindsey here and I’m so happy to share a card with you today. I have had so much fun creating with the June Release, and have especially been enjoying the stencils. The Hibiscus Flowers Stamp Set is one of my absolute favorites, and the new Hibiscus Flowers Stencils make it even easier to create cards using with it.
I started my card by stamping several hibiscus flowers and palms onto white cardstock. The Hibiscus Flowers Stencils made quick work of adding color to the images. I used blending brushes, so I could keep the colors light. While I had the blending brushes out I used the Circles Stencil to lightly stencil circles onto my card base, fading the color out toward the edges. Don’t you just love the large size of these circles?! I’m completely smitten. Okay, next I used the Hibiscus Flowers coordinating dies to cut out the flowers and palm leaves. Once, I had a pile to work with, it was easy to create an arrangement to fill the side of my card.
I’m a big fan of the script dies, and I especially adore the larger size of the Miss You Script Die. The script dies are more delicate by nature and I really wanted the sentiment to be the strong focal point, so I decided to add a second layer to it. I die cut the sentiment in black, adhered it to a white piece of cardstock, and then used scissors to trim around the entire outline. Finally, I popped it up in the middle of my card.
This card came together so easily and was a joy to create. I hope you are having just as much fun with your June Release goodies!
Hello, crafty friends! Leica here today with an A2 card to share with you all. I can’t seem to put the Easter Basket Die and the Floral Corners stamp set away! This time, I filled the basket up with red, white, and blue flowers, and some firecrackers for a Fourth of July theme.
Let’s get started! I first cut my panels in red, white, and blue cardstock. For the red cardstock, I used the Layered Stars Stencil in white pigment ink for a fun background. I also white heat embossed with the little stars from a previous release, Camping Friends. Next, I added Sparkling Clear Stars Sequins here and there. I then cut the panel with the Stitched Notes Die for stitching details around the panel.
I then die cut the basket in white cardstock and the bow from Tulip Cover Plate Die in blue cardstock. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the flowers from the Floral Corners stamp set and the firecrackers from the 4th of July stamp set. I used Copic Sketch Markers in B000/91/93/95, R24/27/29, YG21/23, Y11/13.
I layered my panels in red, white, and blue order. Then I adhered the stamped images onto the card. Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and glued it down onto the card.
That’s all for this Fourth of July card. I hope you enjoyed today’s card share and that I have inspired you to create cards for your friends and family.
Hello, Gemma here for a new Clean and Simple post. I’ve used the Slimline Floral Cover die on my CAS card today. This pretty and intricate die looks beautiful with a clean and simple look.
I began by die cutting the Slimline Floral Cover die twice from white card and layering them together for dimension.
On my slimline card base (3.5 x 8.5 inches) I blended on Salvaged Patina distress oxide ink.
Next, I die cut a vellum panel, using a die from the Slimline Peekaboo Window die set. I adhered this behind the floral panel, before adding them to the card base. The vellum helps to diffuse the colour underneath.
I found the perfect stitched rectangle for my sentiment from the Storybook 2 die. I die cut it three times from white card. On one of the pieces, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Friends with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then heat embossed with a clear embossing glitter.
I adhered the three layers together for dimension, then added to the centre of my slimline card. Finally, I used foam tape to add the hummingbirds either side of the sentiment panel.
I stamped the images with alcohol marker friendly brown inkpad and colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Classique Markers.
The used colors: LY1, LY2, CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, BO1, BO2, OR1, OR2, BG5, BG6, BG8, EB7, TN1, FS9, BG1, BG6, BT1, JG2, AG1, AG2, CG1, TB2, TB5, LV3, HB3, LV2, PL2, BP1, BP2, BP3, BP4, PP1, FS2, PV1, MG2, Blender. Classique’s: BG05, TN05, CG05, MG05, BG05. Check out the coloring processes with useful tips in the video. After the coloring I added white highlights with white pen and pencil as well.
The next step was the card front. I created a die-cut with the larger die from the Slimline Peekaboo Windows, then I stamped the Life is an adventure sentiment from Nautical stamp set with watermark ink, and heat embossed it with white fine embossing powder.
After this process I made a quick ink blending on it with Cummerbund and All That Jazz inkpads by Catherine Pooler. When it was done, I splattered It with clear water and let it dry.
In the end I styled my card and put it together with 3D adhesive. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.
Next, I stamped the images from the new Summer Fun and Summer Wreath sets using versafine black ink and colored them using zig clean color brush pens. White gel pen used for accents on the images. The images were then cut using the coordinating die sets and adhered to the card front using foam tape.
The sentiment from the Summer Wreath stamp set was white heat embossed on black cardstock and cut using a paper trimmer. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using liquid glue.
Next, I trimmed down the card front using a paper trimmer and mounted it to an A2 white card base and that completes the card!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Hey crafty friends! Elaine here to share a super fun summer card using fabulous new products from the Pretty Pink Posh June release!
To start this card, I cut a piece of copic friendly cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”, this will be trimmed down later. Using the new Summer Wreath stamp set, I used a black copic friendly ink to stamp the palm tree, water melon, umbrella, ice lolly and ice cream multiple times all over the card panel. I like to start with the biggest stamps first, in this case the palm tree and then worked down to the smallest stamps to fill in any gaps. My preferred method for creating my own background using little stamps is to mount the stamps on to an acrylic block and stamp direct to the card. I have used a stamp positioner in the past, but it takes a lot longer….and I am impatient 😉. I then colored all the images. I used quite a lot of different marker combinations for this project, and I have listed them all below. I love the fun and vibrant colors and think they all work lovely together:
Once I colored all the images I trimmed the panel to 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” and secured it to a piece of hot pink cardstock measuring 5 3/8” x 4 1/8” to leave a nice border. After applying some liquid adhesive to the back of the hot pick card panel I secured to a white A2 size base.
For the sentiment I went small and simple to ensure my background was the star of the show. I used the sentiment ‘Summer Greetings’ from the same Summer Wreath stamp set and stamped it with a black pigment ink on to some white heavy weight cardstock. I carefully trimmed this with a guillotine trimmer and layered it on to a piece of black cardstock with a small border to help the sentiment stand out on the colorful background. I adhered the sentiment with a piece of foam tape to the centre of the card front.
For some final embellishment I added small jewels in the shades Watermelon, Caribbean Blue and Lemon Drop in gaps around the images. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen to the images to help them pop.
I hope you enjoyed this project, and it brings you some inspiration for your own summer themed cards. I cannot wait to see what everyone else creates with the products in the June release!
