Wild Journey Fandom Box Card with Kindred Stamps

I'm so happy with how this fun, box card turned out! I'm using stamps and dies from Kindred Release and as you probably can guess, I just love these fandom characters. I stamped and colored my images as well as put together my safari vehicle just for fun, so I don't have a video today. But I'll still walk you through my process so you can replicate something similar if you'd like!

First I started with stamping all of my images with a brown, alcohol marker friendly ink pad in my MISTI. I left my stamps in place while I colored the images with olo markers, then put the images back into my MISTI to stamp them with a darker brown ink. I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the images and got to die cutting the safari vehicle.

I followed the image from one of Justin's cards to put together my car; I did use some Distress Ink to darken and dirty up the vehicle. You can't have a safari vehicle without some dirt! I then did all my die cutting with the retired MFT Outside the Box Level Up Dies. I wanted to give them a grassy area to stand, so I used the add-on dies and made my sky blue with some Distress Ink as well.

Finally, I assembled the box card together and add in my tree to the very back of the box card, the safari vehicle with my mouse couple to the further back grassy shelf, my silly critter and female duck to the middle grassy shelf, and finally the male duck to the front grassy shelf of the box card. I did add some patterned paper to the sides and front of the box card and added an embossed sentiment.

I hope this card brings a smile to your face! I have to figure out what size envelope this card is going to fit into, or I just might have to make a custom envelope due to its unique size. I just wanted to make sure everything would fit on the card!

Happy Holidays Snowflakes Card with Scrapbook.com

There's a fabulous new Livestream Deal over at Scrapbook.com with dies and rub-ons today! I am using the Snowflakes Rub-ons in white and the Holiday Banners die set from the bundle for today's card. Now, I know it's a busy looking card, but I just love it so much. From the colors, to the snowflake details, I just think it's so pretty! I do think I may trim down the panel to have a white border, just to cut the business a bit.

As it's also the 25th of the month, I have a video tutorial for this Christmas card down below. I thought about skipping it this month since I've been making Christmas videos all month since a lot of companies leaned into the Christmas in July, but this card was fun to make so we're still having some holiday fun for the 25th. Let me know which product you like the most in today's bundle and if you grab this deal in the comments!

Jungle Friends Card with Pretty Pink Posh

I have been on a “I need to make cards for my nephews” kick - I love making floral cards, but I know they would appreciate something not so flowery as a birthday card. So we’re going to bring out a few of my favorite stamps from Pretty Pink Posh! I started with my background for the card by stamping the “you’re the best” sentiment from the Jungle Friends Stamp Set with green ink on a piece of kraft cardstock that measured 4-1/2 x 5-3/4”. I used the Pierced Hearts Plate Die to add some detail to the cardstock and used green inks to add a little color to the bottom of the panel.

Finally, I cut the background with the largest Eyelet Rectangles Die. Next I cut out two of the Stitched Leafy Borders Dies out of green cardstock and added some dimension with green ink on the leaves as well. I layered my kraft panel on top of a piece of green cardstock (4-1/8 x 5-3/8"), then adhered my leafy borders at a bit of an angle with liquid glue. I trimmed any excess off with scissors and then adhered this finished background to my A2 card base.

My images are stamped from the Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions Stamp Sets with a pale brown alcohol marker friendly ink. I colored them in with OLO markers and re-stamped the images with colorful inks to give the images a bolder outline. This is achieved by using a MISTI and not moving the stamps to re-stamp them after coloring. You can see how I do this in today’s video! I used the Jungle Friends and Jungle Additions Coordinating Dies to cut out the images after coloring. I layered my images onto the card with liquid and foam adhesive and added a few shiny details with Lemon Shimmer Confetti.

I hope you enjoyed this card today and I’d love to know which jungle critter is your favorite!

Winter Rose BetterPress Holiday Card with Spellbinders

Sending cheer for the holidays with today's card using Spellbinders products! I was gifted this amazing Winter Rose Background BetterPress Plate and Stencil bundle from Spellbinders. I just love when plates have coordinating stencils, it really makes creating cards so easy. I started with pressing the Winter Rose Background with brown ink onto the Bisque cotton cardstock. I added color with the Winter Rose Background Stencil picking some Pinkfresh Studio inks in Eucalyptus, Sage, Candy Apple, Berrylicious, Passion Fruit, and Peach Fuzz.

I die cut the panel down with a rectangle die from the Fluted Classics Rectangles as well as an A2 panel from brown cardstock. I adhered these two layers together on an A2 card base with a tape runner. Then I die cut the sentiment from the Christmas Greetings die set from cream and alabaster cardstock and added a little bit of Passion Fruit to create an ombre look. I glued them together and popped them up onto the card with foam adhesive.

For some final touches, I added a few Gold Mix gems around the card where there was some open spaces and I love the subtle shine that it adds. I hope you love this BetterPress plate as much as I do! I definitely want to foil it next time.

Happy Halloween Patterned Paper Card with Scrapbook.com

Did you snag the freebies last week for the Halloween celebration over at Scrapbook.com? There were two stamp sets you could add to your cart for free and I used them on today's card as well as the new Vintage Scripts Rub-ons in Black! It's a quick and easy card, I just wanted to make a card that featured the pattern paper and the super fun sentiment from one of the freebies.

I started with stamping the sentiment Happy Halloween stamp and the stars from Happy Pumpkin stamp set in black ink and embossed them with clear powder. I fussy cut out the stars and used a pink ink to add some distressing to the cut outs. Next I added some rub-ons to some areas on the spooky patterned paper that is A2 in size and adhered it to my card base.

Next I trimmed a piece of pattern paper with the cute little ghosts on them to 3.25x4.5" and added some black splatter. When it was dry, I adhered it to a piece of black cardstock that is just 1/8" larger on both sides so it just peeks out the sides. This was popped up onto the card base and then I popped up the sentiment and stars.

For some final touches, I added a few Black Magic Pops of Color around the card to add a little glitter and shine! I hope you like this simple card leaving the pattern paper to be the star of the card. Let me know if you snagged the freebies and what you're going to make with them in the comments!

Yo Quiero Hot Sauce Card with The Sassy Club

Oh my stars, I'm obsessed with this card! I just love the new fast food fandom from the Sassy Club. It came in the mail, I opened it and immediately made this card. I was watching Craft Roulette when I was halfway done with the card and the parameters worked out perfectly so I'm even happier with how this card turned out! I started with stamping and coloring my chihuahua and drink with olo markers, then fussy cut them out as well as my sentiment bubble.

Next I die cut my hot sauce packets - the top layer was cut from patterned paper and I did a solid, white packet behind it so the letters were filled as well as the area where I stamped the fun sayings. I stenciled my background with the bell with Distress Oxides and gave it a good spray of Glitter Dust so I had some shine as well as seal in the ink.

I adhered the background to my A2 card base, glued down the two sauce packets on the sides and popped up the middle hot sauce with 1mm foam adhesive. I then popped up the sentiment and images with foam adhesive as well. It's 1mm foam, but I did double up where the images and sentiment touched the card background. I hope this card brings a smile to your face today!
