A Super Fun Slimline Card with Davina!

Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hello! Davina is back to share a super cool slimline card for us today! She combined many different stamp sets for this amazing card, let’s see how she did it!

She stamped out images from the Rabbit Café, The Sweetest Truck, Fun Adventure, and Never Give Up stamp sets. I love that she colored up all of the images using a sherbet hued rainbow of colors! I love the ink blended background with the splatter of white and glittery inks.

She arranged her images into a super gorgeous scene. She compiled it as if these little characters are in a food fair! I really love how she used the café house from the Rabbit Cafe stamp set and turned it into a sushi stall! And she even turned the ice cream truck from The Sweetest Truck stamp set into a coffee truck serving beverages! So cute!

I also love how she had the soy sauce from the Never Give Up stamp set as one of those large inflatable things that are outside of shops and at fair grounds. She even created a tilt slider for it to wiggle back and forth attracting customers! How cool is that!

I love the way she masked the ice cream images on the original ice cream truck from The Sweetest Truck and replaced them with coffee and matcha tea images. She used the tiny coffee themed words from There’s No One Like You, and stamp them on the truck and even added the little cup of from the Rabbit Café stamp set on top of the truck!

She also added some decorative elements such as the trees and the directional signages from the Fun Adventure stamp set to make it more interesting!

Thank you so much Davina! I love that you mix and match so many cute images from the different stamp sets, and altering some of them to create this huge and fun scene!

I hope you are inspired by this awesome creation! Thanks for stopping by!

Jo’s Coffee-Themed Shaker Card Video

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi guys! Jo is here today to share a super fun and clever design! She used a combination of our older and newer sets to create this awesome coffee-themed shaker card! You can watch the video below or CLICK HERE to watch it on our YouTube Channel!

To fit the coffee theme, Jo chose a brownish caramel tone for her card panels. I love how she used the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays stand-alone dies and the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangle Overlays stand-alone dies to create the backdrop and her shaker card window. For the shaker elements, she used coffee beans and chocolate chips which are absolutely perfect additions for this card!

She used the cute little couple from The Sweetest Truck stamp set as her main characters. I love that she used the bowls from the Hot Mama stamp set to mimic the coffee cups that the couple is holding in their hands. The stacks of coffee beans are from the There’s No One Like You stamp set.

To add more dynamics to her card, she combined the steamy swirls from There’s No One Like You stamp set and adhered them on top of the coffee cups! The punny sentiment, “You’ve bean the best friend” is the ideal finishing touch to her card!

Thank you so much Jo for inspiring us today with this coffee-themed friendship card!

Anja’s Sun-Kissed Beach Scene Creation

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi crafty friends! Anja is back today sharing a just because card full of summer vibe! Her card features The Sweetest Truck stamp set & its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts; and the Summer Sunshine stamp set & its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

She created the background by die cutting an A2 sized panel with the large die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlay and ink blending it using Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink for the beach, and Mermaid Lagoon to portray the ocean.

She used the little girl server image and the truck from The Sweetest Truck stamp set, combining them with the the girl in swimsuit along with several other cute images from the Summer Sunshine stamp set.

I love how she splattered water onto the ink blended card while adding dabs of white acrylic paint with a bristle brush. This technique really mimics the waves hitting the shoreline!

The extra beverage and the watermelon slices on top of the truck are just too cute! White gel pen details and glossy accents were added for some final touches!

Thank you so much Anja for this summery inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

A Heart Warming Friendship Card with Vera!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi everyone! Vera is back with us to share her beautiful friendship card!

Vera’s card features our My BFF stamp set and coordinating dies from our latest release. I love how she made photo frames to house each group of the critters. They really make a nice composition for the card!

Her background was blended with Distress Oxide Inks, and die cut with the largest die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. You can see the elegant boarder detail close up in the above photo!

I love that she put the kitty trio in the first frame, a pair of bunnies in the second and another pair of kitties in the third, they really tie in the friendship theme of the card!

Besides stamping out the “Best”, “Friend”, and “Forever” on the frames, she also added her own scripty sentiments which compliment the friendship theme.

She added a few sequins to finish off her card with a little extra sparkle!

Thank you so much Vera for sharing this amazingly gorgeous card with us today!

Thanks for visiting, take care and stay safe!

A Delightful Summer Scene Card with Davina!

Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hey everyone! Davina is back to share with us a super delightful summer scene card!

Davina combined cool images from the Summer Sunshine stamp set and The More We Get Together stamp set to create this unique and incredible scene!

She stamped a bunch of images from both sets and colored them up using bright summery colors. I love how the cool kitty is suntanning on the beach and at the same time, having all the cute creatures swimming in the ocean!

She used the largest die from the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays on her back panel for the wonderful boarder detail. She cut the stitched layers from several panels of Bristol smooth cardstock, and inked them up using Distress Oxide Inks.

I just love the splash of water and the watery inks on the cards for the added texture.

She used the sentiment, “Seas the Day” from the Summer Sunshine stamp set on the sand layer then adhered all of the pieces together.  

Thank you so much Davina for this lovely scene. It is so vibrant and lively!  I really love how she composed her card into a split level scene where you can see both the beach and the underwater!

Thank for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
