Under the Sea Card by Rowena

July 18, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hi there Rowena here today with a Hello card using Under the Sea stamp and die set! This is such a fun a set to have and perfect for any occasions. For my card today, I wanted to create a scene where the main star is the cute little sting ray, swimming under the deep blue sea.

To start, I stamped all my images using chocolate hybrid ink onto a watercolor paper because I will be coloring my images using watercolor paints. This ink is watercolor safe as well as copic friendly ink. I usually or most of the time color with my copic markers but today I will be using my Daniel Smith Watercolor to color my images. I just added a mixture of greys, yellows and greens to color all my elements, I kept the coloring simple without mixing too much colors. Then I die cut the images using its coordinating die.

Moving onto the background! I blended some distress ink oxide, I used blueprint sketch and peacock feathers to create my watery background. Then using the Brushed Stroke Waves stencil, I created the wavy effect for added interest to my panel. I also used the same inks I used for my blended background. I splattered some white paint to create bubbles.

As I mentioned I wanted the sting ray to be the main star of my card. So, I die cut a white cardstock to create a frame for my panel using the decorative frame from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames creative dies.

Once all my elements are complete it’s time to put the card together! I added foam tape to my frame panel and adhered it to my blended background. Then I also added some foam tape to the seaweeds and coral. Then glued my sting ray and as well as the little fishes. I did not add foam tape to the sting ray because I wanted it to appear in the back.

Then I white heat embossed the hello friend sentiment from the And The Fox Says stamp set, onto a black cardstock. I also added white gel pen on the coral as well as some glossy accents to the seaweeds and coral. It’s very hard to see on the photo but it’s there 😉

Again, thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed today’s post! Happy crafting!!

Kobi Bear Goes Fishing Shaker with Ilda

July 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there, Ilda here with you from ilovedoingallthingscrafty. Today I’m taking you along to see Kobi the Bear who swam out to the middle of the ocean and found himself some nice rocks to sit on and go fishing, lol!

To create this card I began by die cutting the Scalloped Square die from one of two pieces of Bristol paper, cut to 5×7 inches. I then stamped Kobi on the top piece of cardstock and the fishy critters on to the bottom piece. After that, I colored all the images in using Zig Clean Color brushes.

Next, I die cut the coordinating dies for both the Under the Sea and Shell-ebration images from post-it tape to create some masks and placed them over the underwater critters. This leaves a white space around the critters but honestly, I really didn’t mind as I did not feel like fussy cutting them out!

The next step was to color in the water. I lined up both pieces of cardstock, temporarily adhered them together and then used Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the different shades of blue for the water. I then stamped out the fish hook on the bottom cardstock piece and used a ruler to extend and draw the fishing line on the top piece of cardstock. To add some shine to the waves, I used the Brush Stroke Waves Stencil and added glimmer paste, avoiding any of the areas that were colored in.

Once the paste was dry I added the acetate sheet to the window opening and then built up the well for the shaker bits using foam tape. Next, I added all the sequins, confetti and cones to the middle area of where the window would be, removed all the backing from the tape and carefully aligned the window opening with the bottom panel. Now it’s ready to shake, shake, shake!

As a finishing touch, I cut down a very thin wood dowel to the size I needed and wrapped some black sewing thread on the end and lined it up with the fishing line that I had drawn and glued it in place. I then added some glossy accents to Kobi’s nose and attached the entire card front to a 5×7 top folding card. And that is it for this card!

Hope you were inspired by this fun Kobi Bear Goes Fishing Shaker Card today! Thanks for joining me today and until next time… happy crafting!

Summer card with Natalia

July 13, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Theme Week

Hello, everyone. Natalia is here. Today I continue to play with wonderful Whimsical Town set. The card I’ve made turned out very summery.

I stamped Whimsical Town set on the paper for alcohol markers and colored it with Copic and Touch Twin markers.

Cut everything out on Big Shot using coordinating dies. Inked the panel of white cardstock using Distress inks. Cut out another panel of white cardstock using Halftone Dots Cover. Stuck the panel with dots above inked panel.

Cut out the frame of light grey cardstock and put it in the middle on foam tape. Placed houses inside the frame on foam tape.

Heat embossed tge sentiment on dark grey cardstock and put it above the frame. And that’s it, my card has finished and pleased the eyes.

Hope you like this fun card! Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Under the Sea with Dana

July 9, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Theme Week

Happy Monday, everyone!
It’s Dana here and I’m coming back with sea themed card to share with you today. Here is what I came up with.

To begin, I stamped mermaids from Mermaid For Each Other Stamp Set and other images from Under the Sea Stamp Set onto white card stock. I colored them with alcohol markers and die cut them using coordinating die sets. To some of them, I applied glitter pen and Nuvo Crystal Drops Ebony Black as shown.

Next, I die cut background panel from white card stock using Halftone Dots Cover and mounted it onto A2 sized card base with patterned paper from my stash. For sentiment from Mermaid For Each Other Stamp Set, I white heat embossed it on a piece of black card stock and cut it with paper trimmer.

To finish, I adhered every pieces where I wanted them using glue tape and embellished with April Crystals.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Happy crafting!

Birthday Fishes with Tracy

July 7, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today as we continue this weeks showcasing of the Under The Sea Stamp set from the last release.

I have always loved the sea so got so excited when Katia released this set as it is so much fun.

I started off with the idea of a shaker card but as you can see that didn’t happen ! The background I created with Distress Oxide inks in Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers & Mermaid lagoon. I then added some “sun rays” from the top with squeezed lemonade, although you can hardly see them so I’m not sure id do that again if I was to recreate this card. I added some water splatter for some texture too.

I stamped all the pieces from the set onto some Neenah Solar white and coloured them with Polychromo Pencils and added some white gel pen details after I’d used the co coordinating dies to cut them all out.

For the frame and outer piece I used two of the dies from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame Die set.

I worked out where I wanted all the elements and then heat embossed the sentiment.

I then adhered all the pieces down, using foam tape on a couple for some dimension.

I then added some foam tape to the frame and adhered this to main piece which I then added to a A2 card base.

At this point I decided it still needed something so I went a little bit crazy with the Iridescent bubbles….although I don’t think you can ever have enough of these on a card 🙂

This really is such a fun set and SO much fun to colour and play with.

I hope you like the card I created.
