More Hippos on Holiday

7/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Hello friends, I'm back sharing another slimline card today featuring the same Hippos on Holiday that I used in yesterday's card!  While today's card features the same stamp set and layout, I opted for a different color scheme in pink and aqua hues.  Do you have a favorite?
Picture

Card details:

The base of this card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  For the background I used a 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Scalloped paper in blue for the sky.   I die cut the sun from Daffodil Delight cardstock.  I die cut a sheet of Pool Party cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Wave Border dies and adhered it just below the yellow sky.  I die cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joes border dies and adhered it just below the water line.  I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner using Memento Tuxedo black ink.  On the very bottom of the card, I placed a thin line of glue and added Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter for some added sparkle.  I stamped all of the images on Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and die cut them using the coordinating Hippos on Holiday dies.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol ink markers and added a few highlights to the images with a Uniball white gel pen.  Lastly I added the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.

And now that I've shared not one, but two cards, of these hippos on holiday, I'm feeling quite jealous because they've seen the beach more than I have this summer!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Hippos on Holiday by Hello Bluebird

7/29/2019

Hello readers and happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I am really excited to share with you today's card because it is my first ever "slimline" card!  I have been seeing a lot of slimline cards on Instagram and Pinterest lately and the extra-long size makes it ideal to create detailed stamped scenes.  This card measures 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" and is designed to fit inside a #10 business mailing envelope.  I'm not gonna lie, this card took about 3 hours in total to make!  I probably spent about two hours one evening just coloring all of the images and then another hour or so to create the background and overall beach scene.   But, I am so happy with how it turned out that I can't wait to make more!

Card details:

The base of this card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  For the background I used a 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Scalloped paper in yellow for the sky.  I stamped the sentiment in the upper left corner using Memento Tuxedo black ink.  I die cut the sun from Daffodil Delight cardstock.  I die cut a sheet of Pool Party cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Wave Border dies and adhered it just below the yellow sky.  I die cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joes border dies and adhered it just below the water line.  I did stamp a splatter on the sand in Crumb Cake ink to make it look more like speckled sand.  On the very bottom of the card, I placed a thin line of glue and added Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter for some added sparkle.  I stamped all of the images on Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and die cut them using the coordinating Hippos on Holiday dies.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol ink markers and added a few highlights to the images with a Uniball white gel pen.  Lastly I added the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.

I hope you enjoyed these beach going hippos!  I loved creating this card and felt as though as I had significantly more space to create a scene with by having the longer dimensions.  Try it and let me know what you think!

Tomorrow I'll be sharing a very similar card using these same hippos, but incorporating a different color scheme.  I hope you will come back to see it! 

XO, Crystal

Hello friends and happy Friday!  Congratulations for making it through the work week!  I'm ready for the weekend!  Today is the second (and last!) day I'll be sharing Christmas in July cards, but on Sunday I am hosting my annual Christmas in July cardmaking extravaganza, so I've still got a little merry left in me!  This card uses the same stamp set called "North Pole Littles" from Hello Bluebird that I used in yesterday's purple snow theme card, but it has an entirely different feel to it.  Today's card is much more traditional in red and green colors. Where do you stand on tradition?  Red and green, tinsel and popcorn?  Or, do you like to venture outside of the box?  Oh gosh, remember the year of the upside-down Christmas trees?!  That's a little too much for me.  Perhaps I'm more of an outside-of-the-box-but-still-touching-the-box kinda gal! 
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  The first layer is a piece of Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas paper in the green Christmas tree print.  Next using a circular die (sorry, company unknown) I die cut the linking circles frame out of Real Red cardstock.  I die cut the word "ho" three times from white cardstock.  I stamped all of the images in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and die cut them.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol ink markers.  I used a Uniball white gel pen to add highlights to the colored images.  Using a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen I put small amounts of glue on the whites of some of the images (hats, beards, presents) and sprinkled Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter on them for added sparkle.  Lastly I added the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added height.

Christmas in July

7/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Happy July 25th, otherwise known as Christmas in July!  Ugh, I'm not even a Christmas in December person, so here I am sharing my first Christmas card of 2019.  Five months early.  It's kinda killing me, but I promise just a whisper of Christmas in July, not like the whole shebang.  Just today and tomorrow, so that I can say "Woohoo, I did it!"  Unlike the Easter, St. Patrick's Day and 4th of July cards I never created or shared to inspire you!  So, if jingle bells in July is your thing - jingle away!  'Tis the season to start your holiday cards now. . . 'Cause you know come December 16th you're gonna regret not starting them sooner!
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Gorgeous Grape cardstock.  The background was created using a variety of purple alcohol inks on photo paper.  I die cut a piece of Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joes landscape dies to create a snowbank.  In the lower left corner I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink.  I die cut the white trees using the Lawn Fawn Birch Trees Lawn Cuts.  I stamped all of the images in Memento Tuxedo blank ink and colored them using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink markers.  I added highlights to the colored images with a Uniball white gel pen.  Using a Sakura Quickie Glue pen, I put a small amount of glue in the white spaces on the images (hats, beards, etc) and sprinkled Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter to add sparkle.  Lastly, I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive. 

*Because I am not currently creating video technique content on my website, I highly recommend checking out this Easy Alcohol Ink Background Tutorial on YouTube by the amazing Jennifer McGuire.  She has created a very simple introduction to working with alcohol inks to create background pieces.  This was the first video I watched after purchasing my alcohol inks and then I just spent time playing with them!

Pucker Up Some More

7/24/2019

1 Comment

 
Hi friends and happy Wednesday!  Yesterday I shared this fun lemon waterfall card made using the Pucker Up stamp set by SugarPea Designs and today I am sharing two more ways to use this stamp set.  I have been trying to share a lot more samples and ideas on the blog lately - have you noticed?!  For instance, I've been using one stamp set multiple ways, so that if one card or idea doesn't appeal to you, then perhaps another option with a different variation in color or layout will.  And, as an added bonus, it's helping me re-build my own card supply stash too!
Picture
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  The first matted layer is a 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock.  Layered on top of the Granny Apple Green cardstock is a piece of green scalloped paper from the Lawn Fawn Simply Scalloped paper pack.  I die cut a semi-circle in the scalloped sheet to line with clear acetate film to create a shaker card. I stamped the sentiment inside of the shaker card using Granny Apple Green ink.   I stamped all of the images in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir Alcohol ink makers.  I added a few highlights to the colored images using a Uniball white gel pen.  I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive and lastly put a coat of Clear Wink of Stella on the images for added sparkle.

Pucker Up by Sugarpea Designs

Okay, so my "Shark Week" inspiration only lasted one day. . . I did create another shark themed card to share with you today, but when I looked at the images on the computer I was not satisfied with the quality of photography on that particular card. So, I deleted my original post and decided to share this lemon waterfall card instead.   I am actually hosting a waterfall cards technique class this evening at my house and this is one of four cards the ladies will be creating.  To see my list of scheduled events and upcoming classes, please click here.  I'd love for you to join one of my classes too!  
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Daffodil Delight cardstock.  The first matted layer is a  5 /14" x 4" sheet of scrap paper with lemons on it (sorry, company unknown!).  I followed this tutorial on YouTube in order to assemble the "waterfall" portion of the card.  Additional supplies used are:  Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Tuxedo Memento Black ink, Pear Pizzazz ink, Daffodil Delight ink, Uniball White Gel Pen, 3M foam adhesive, Spectrum Noir Alcohol ink markers (for coloring the images) and Clear Wink of Stella for added sparkle. 

Here is a brief video to show you how the card "waterfalls" or opens:
Here are the two stamps sets I used to create today's card:

I hope you will try creating a waterfall card!  Just look up any one of the great tutorials on YouTube and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how easy they are to make! 

Tomorrow I will be sharing two other ideas for how to use both of these fun stamp sets in both lime and pink color combinations.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Shark Week

7/22/2019

2 Comments

 
Hello readers and happy Monday!  Welcome back from a very H-O-T weekend!  It was WAAAAAAYYyyy too hot and humid for me, so I was happily crafting away in my craft room creating some fun shark cards for you!  This coming Sunday, July 28th, kicks off the official 2019 Discovery Channel shark week.  Unlike all the 4th of July cards, Easter cards and St. Patrick's Day cards I failed to inspire you with, this year I'm actually ahead of the ball for sharing ideas for shark week!
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Coastal Cabana cardstock.  I cut a  5 1/4" x 4" sheet of a cloud patterned background paper (not sure who made this!) for the bottom layer.  I die cut a piece of a previously made alcohol ink background using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Waves Borders die and used the Lawn Fawn Slide On over wave dies to create a slider component for the shark in the water.  I die cut the sun from Lawn Fawn Rainbow Scallop paper and adhered it to the top of the card.  I stamped the sharks and surfboards in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers.  Using a Uniball white gel pen I added highlights to the images.  I cut a circle and dry embossed it with a polka dot folder to create an island in the background.  I die cut two Lawn Fawn Palm Trees to add to the island from Crumb Cake cardstock and Early Espresso cardstock for the coconuts. I used the white gel pen to add a few more highlight to the palm trees.  I adhered all the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.

Hero Arts Color Layering Sea & Sky

7/19/2019

Hi friends and happy Fri-YAY!  I hope you have fun (and cool) plans for the weekend ahead considering it will be 10,000 degrees outside here in Massachusetts!  Okay, maybe I added two extra zero's on that temperature, but you get it, it's gonna be H-O-T hot!  I have a craft room with central air calling my name! 
Yesterday I shared with you how to create a beach scene with two different color layering stamp sets from Hero Arts.  Today we are going to focus on just those beautiful color layering clouds from the Color Layering Sea and Sky stamp set that I used to create a sympathy card.
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Basic Gray cardstock.  Using the Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitches Nesting Rectangles, I cut the largest rectangle from Balmy Blue cardstock.  I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink.  I stamped the raindrops in Balmy Blue ink using the Sunny Studio Stamp called rain showers.  On a separate sheet of white cardstock, I stamped the layering clouds in Balmy Blue ink and Basic Gray ink.  I die cut the clouds and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the clouds for added sparkle.

Here is the Color Layering Sea and Sky stamp set and coordinating dies from Hero Arts that I used for today's cards:

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  On a 5 " x 3 3/4" sheet of Basic Black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and burst of stars in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I mounted this stamped image onto a piece of Goil Foil paper before adhering it to the card front.  On a separate sheet of Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock, I stamped the layering clouds in both Smoky Slate ink and Basic Gray ink.  I die cut the clouds and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the clouds for added sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing different ways to use this stamp set, both to create a serene beach scene and a peaceful sympathy card.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Hero Arts Color Layering Waves

7/18/2019

1 Comment

 
Hi readers and thanks for taking the time to visit today!  I hope you find inspiration and creativity as you look around.  Today I am sharing two new-to-me stamp sets by Hero Arts called "Color Layering Waves" and "Color Layering Sea and Sky."  I think you will agree how beautifully these two sets pair together when creating a stamped scene.  These stamps were part of Hero Arts "My Monthly Hero" cardmaking kits last summer and they were so popular that they sold out!  I was so happy when Hero Arts brought them back for individual purchase after high demand.  I really enjoy color layering stamp sets because they offer so much depth and dimension.  You can see a variety of other cards I have made featuring other color layering stamp sets here, here and here. 
Picture

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I cut a piece of Pacific Point cardstock measuring 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" as my mat.  On a sheet of white cardstock I began to stamp my scene starting with the waves.  The first base layer was stamped in Soft Sky blue.  The second layer was in Marina Mist ink (sorry, both retired from Stampin' UP!) and the third was in Pacific point ink.  I added a touch of watercolor in pale pinks and blues to the sky above the water.  Next I stamped the seagulls in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.  I stamped two sailboats in Soft Sky ink and Mango Medley ink on scrap white cardstock and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I adhered the sailboats to the ocean using 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the color layering clouds on white cardstock first using Soft Sky ink and then the second layer was in Pacific Point ink.  I die cut the clouds and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly I created the sand by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and heat embossing the word 'Hello" in gold embossing powder.  Using a distressed dot stamp, I added dots to the paper as though to resemble sand in Crumb Cake ink.  I added footprints in Early Espresso ink.  I ran this sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock through my Big Shot using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joes border dies.  Lastly I stamped the Adirondack chair in Pacific Point ink on white cardstock, die cut it and adhered it to the card using 3M foam adhesive.

Here are the two Hero Arts color layering stamp sets I used to create this card:

Tomorrow I will be sharing another way of using those beautiful color layering clouds to achieve an entirely different look for a sympathy card.  I hope you will come back to see other ways this set can be used.

Thanks again for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
