Friends Like You Are the Coolest

Hello!  Are you looking for a quick and cute card?  How about using a few of Trinity Stamps new dies and stamps along with their Emergency Card Essentials #1.

The checkerboard background was created with the Checkered Background Stencil and the Checkered Background Add On Striped Squares with Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink.

I used the Outdoor Borders and Scene Builders Die Set to cut out the grass and clouds in the center circle.  

The cooler is the new Tiny Cooler Die Set and the sentiment is from the new Cooler Sentiments Stamp Set.  

This is such a fun and cheery card don't you think.  I left the inside blank so that I could use this as a notecard or for a number of occasions.

This Christmas card is bringing all the soft, pretty sparkle! The gorgeous pink poinsettias play beautifully against the pale pink lacy background, giving the whole card such a sweet and elegant holiday feel.

Under Sea Shark-cuterie!

 

Cue the confetti—and maybe a few fin waves! This Shark-cuterie Board Stamp Set by Pajama Crafter Stamps is making a big splash and serving up serious under-the-sea party vibes. Packed with playful, fishy treats, it’s the perfect way to turn any celebration into a fintastic feast!

The background of this card is ink blended with Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sketch Distress Oxide Ink.  Once it was blended, I spattered on a little water followed by some watered down white acrylic paint.

I used the largest of my Catherine Pooler Wavy Nested Die to give this background an additional wavy vibe.

The two stamp sets that I used are What The Krill and Sharkcuterie Board.  I used Copic markers in the following colors:

• E13, E25, E27 - board
• Y00, Y08, Y19 - yellow
• R14, R17, R29 - red
• E42, E43, E44 - basket
• YR20, E21 - dip
• YR12, YR15, YR18 - orange
• YG91, YG93 - olive green
• C1, C3, C5, C7 - light gray
• W00, W1, W3, W5 - warm gray
• YG21, YG05, G05 - seaweed
• E50, E31 - crackers
• RV21, RV04, RV06 - pink

I left the inside of this card blank, because I haven't quite decided what occasion I would you is for.  It would actually work for any occasion and it would work for a more masculine card - so we'll see.

I do receive a small commission at no cost to you when you purchase from the above links.  I am very thankful and grateful for any purchases that help me to continue to create content for this blog.

Congrats On Your Little Cutie!

How adorable would this be for welcoming a sweet new little one? I am always on the lookout for baby cards that feel fresh, playful, and a little unexpected, and this one makes me smile from start to finish. It features one of the darling new stamp and die sets from the latest Trinity Stamps release, and I am completely smitten with the lacy trim and all those tiny sleepers and bibs. The precious little “Cutie” detail adds the happiest finishing touch!

My background consists of three layers.  The orange cardstock is cut to 5.5" x 4.25".  The lacy layer is cut using the Dainty Scallops Rectangles (A2) Die Set.  I also used this set to cut out the trim on the little sentiment at the bottom right corner.  I used the A-2 Clean Cut Layers - Rectangles Set A to cut the patterned paper and the paper that the sentiment is stamped on.  

For the circle highlighting the little cutie was cut using the Clean Cut Layers Circles - Set A Die Set.  The little lacy border was cut from white cardstock using the Dainty Scallops Circles Die Set.

The Cutie is from the new Hi, Cutie Stamp and Die Set.  I used Copic markers in colors similar to the orange cardstock.  The sentiment is part of the stamp set.  To fill in the blank areas on the card after I glued on the Cutie and Sentiment, I used the stamp set Loads Of Fun, which is part of a Craft Roulette Collection.  Now, you can fussy cut the little onesie, or there is a die that works perfectly in the Spin Cycle Die Set, which is also a Craft Roulette Collection Die Set.  

To add a little dimension to the card, I popped up the Cutie, bib and onesie with foam dots.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is also from the Loads Of Fun Stamp Set.  

I hope you are as smitten as I am with this card.
