She die cut 3 stitched slimline panels to create the sky and the grassy hills scene. I love the Distress Oxide ink blending on the background. She used Tumbled Glass for the sky, and Mowed Lawn and Shabby Shutters for the grassy hills.
I love the smiley trees which are built using the images from My BFF stamp set, the bunnies, flowers, butterflies and the kitty in the trolley are also from the same set.
The other characters are a mixture of images from Summer Sunshine, Sweetest Truck and the Bee Happy stamp sets. All of the images were colored using Copics and aren’t they lovely!!
I love that she added some cute refreshments on the table (those adorable sushis are from Never Give Up stamp set) to make the scene even more interesting! Looks like this bunch is having a great party!
She assembled her card using both liquid glue and foam tape to create a bit of dimension to the card.
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!

To kick-off things, we would like to showcase the new The More We Get Together stamp set and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. This set is one of the collaboration sets created with Laugh and Belly.
This stamp set is ideal for the most unique friendship cards and just because cards! These super cute underwater creatures will make the most adorable scenes! Whether you enjoy making simple cards using just a couple of images from the set, or you’re like me who love creating fuller and bigger scenes with plenty of images, this set will give you endless possibilities!
Now let’s check out some amazing samples from our talented Creative Team!
First we have Ashley’s beautiful creation! I love the alcohol ink background she created to mimic the ocean. She used many of the images from the set to create a vibrant underwater scene! The cute sentiment finished the card off brilliantly!
Next we have Anja’s creation. I love how she had the little fish peeking out from coral reefs! So cute! I love how she stamped out the seaweeds multiple times to decorate her scene. This card is so bright and alive!
Next we have Jo’s card. We’re so excited to welcome Jo to our Creative Team! Jo is super talented and she will have so much more amazing videos to show everyone in the coming weeks! She created a gorgeous shaker card with this set. I love the way she set up her shaker card into three tires, and decorated the panel with the colorful images. It looks super awesome!
Next we have Vera and her set of cards. Vera made 3 cards and each of the cards has got its own special theme.
She stamped out a unique sentiment on each of her card. Each of these correlates to certain images from the set.
This set is so versatile and you can create lots of different scenes with the different elements. Do you see the elegant board details that she added to each of the cards? They were created with our Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays – Stand-Alone Die which we will showcase a bit later in the week.
This 4×6″ stamp set has some of the most lovable critters. It is ideal for friendship and encouragement cards. These cool images can be used to create gorgeous Spring themed scenes, or fun Easter Greeting cards!
Ashley made a friendship card with this set. I love the Distress Oxide ink blended background with Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass and Milled Lavender. She added splatters of of rainbow watercolors to match cohesively with the blended background. Who can resist such cute bunnies and kitties? I just love this happy scene.
Anja created an Easter greeting card. She chose the cute bunnies from the set as her main characters. The easter eggs, smiley rainbow, flowers, tree and butterflies are perfect accessories to add to the whole scene.
Next we have Vera’s card. She made a clean friendship card with the two pair of kitties and bunnies. Notice how the leave cluster stamps for the tree can also be used as clouds in the sky? Loving the pastel tone of this card!
A big Thank-You to our wonderful and talented Creative Team! Head over to their blogs for more details on these cards.

Hi friends! Today Anja has in store for us a beautiful and clever scene, created from the Home Sweet Home stand-alone die, and the Fun Night Out stamps and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.
She stamped out all of her images and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. Always love a little white gel pen accent!
I love the night sky blended using Chipped Saphire Distress Oxide Ink with the touch of gold splatter ink mimicking a starry night! For the wallpaper inside the pub she chose Victorian Velvet over the Cyber Wallpaper stencil. She then used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink for blending the floor.
To finish, she stamped out the sentiment “Let’s Wiggle and Giggle All Night” with VersaMark ink and white heat embossed it on dark blue cardstock.
The critters were adhered to the card with foam tape for the added dimension.
Thank you so much Anja! This card is so clever and lovely!
