Hoppy Spring Preview Day 2 - NEW! Card Layout 6 and Corner Flip Dies!

Today I'm sharing two fun new dies from our Hoppy Spring Collection. These dies were designed to work perfectly together. Let's take a look! 

Card Layout 6  and Corner Flip Dies

Flip it over!

I have two cards to share today showcasing these fun new products. 

The first card uses the Card Layout 6 Die on it's own: 

I used the die multiple times to cut out two paper patterns from our Happy Easter Paper Pack along with a light green for the center and white for the frame. I combined all the pieces together. Then I added the "hoppy" and "spring" and the cute bunny with a carrot from the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set. 

For the next card I added in the Corner Flip Die:

For this card I used the Card Layout 6 Die to cut the frame from purple and the center from white. Then I cut out the four outer pieces using the corner flip die with two different patterned papers. The die includes a score line so it's easy to fold and flip the papers over to reveal the pattern on the opposite side. Once folded, the pieces nest perfectly inside the frame from the Card Layout 6! I created this die design specifically to showcase our pretty patterned papers!   

I hope you enjoyed this preview of our new products! Everything will be available for purchase in our online shop starting Friday, February 13th! I'll be back tomorrow with a look at two more fun Easter products!

Hippity Hoppity

I have two cards to share today showcasing these fun new products! 

For the first card I colored two of the bunnies and the egg using copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating die set and then added them onto a scalloped circle cut with our Circle Frames Die Set. In the background I layered several different prints from the new paper pack! 

For my second card I colored a bunch of the bunnies and eggs using watercolor markers. I cut them out with the coordinating die set. This time I cut out several circles from the new paper using our Circle Frames Die Set. I added everything to the card, layering the bunnies over the circles. Next, I paired the words "happy" and "Easter" from the stamp set and added that in the corner. The white postage edged panel was cut out using our Framework Die Set.

I hope you enjoyed this preview of our new products! Everything will be for sale on Friday, February 13th! I'll be back tomorrow with a look at our newest layout die.

Valentine Cards for Dog Lovers by Jennifer Jackson

Bark-ing Mad for Dog Themed Valentines!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing some fun dog themed Valentine cards. 

For these cards I used the following dog themed products:

Dog Silhouettes Die Set

Love & Woofs Paper Pad

Say Woof Stamp Set

Woof Stencil

Petite Paw Prints Stencil

I thought it would be fun to combine the sentiments from our Say Woof Stamp Set with our Dog Silhouettes Die Set. For my first card I decided to do a dachshund theme. I cut out the little dachshund using the Dog Silhouettes Die Set and picked a paper with dachshunds from our Love & Woofs Paper Pad.

I  stenciled a piece of dark pink cardstock using our Woof Stencil with some white texture paste. When that was dry I grabbed our Fractured Card Layout Die and cut out the stenciled panel along with the cute dachshund paper. I also cut it out again with light pink and white cardstock for the frame and the center. Then I simply assembled all the pieces and stamped the sentiment from the Say Woof Stamp Set. 

 

For my next card I chose the labrador from our Dog Silhouettes Die Set for the main image, cutting it from black cardstock. Then I cut out a pieced of light pink cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and stenciled pink pawprints using our Petite Paw Prints Stencil.

To help make this card into a valentine theme I cut out several hearts using our Heart Frames Die Set using pink and gray cardstock. I added the sentiment from the Say Woof Stamp Set onto the largest heart, embossing it in white. Then I assembled the card, arranging all the hearts and the dog along the edge of the stenciled area. 

I was having fun stenciling so I created another card using our Woof Stencil. I stenciled the words in dark pink over a light pink cardstock. Then I took the same darker pink ink and lightly blended over the top to create the pink ombré effect. I cut this panel out using the large postage edged frame from the Framework Die Set. 

I cut out the cute little terrier dog from black cardstock using our Dog Silhouettes Die Set. Again, I wanted to add a heart and I cut out a big heart using the Heart Frames Die Set. I embossed the sentiment from the Say Woof Stamp Set onto the heart. I found a circle that the pup would fit into from our Circle Frame Die Set. I assembled the pieces over the stenciled background, added a vellum banner that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set.

For my last card I kept it super simple! I wanted to use our Card Layout 2 Die and I cut it out using light pink cardstock. Then I chose 3 different patterns from the Love & Woofs Paper Pad and cut those out using the same die. I inserted the die cut pieces back into the frame. 

I picked a sentiment from the Say Woof Stamp Set and stamped it onto a circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. Then I cut out two small hearts using the Heart Frames Die Set with a bright pink paper and added those to each side of the card. This card was so quick and easy to make!

I had a lot of fun finding ways to combine different papers and dies to create dog themed Valentine cards! I hope you are inspired to create some cards for the dog lovers in your life! 

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Love is in the Air Card by Diane Morales

For the Love of Coffee!

Today we have a sweet little card by Diane that is perfect for any coffee lover! This card features our adorable Love Café Stamp Set. 

Diane colored the duo of coffee mugs from the Love Café Stamp Set in using alcohol markers. She also stamped the little trios of coffee beans with brown ink. Then she cut the images out using the coordinating Love Café Die Set. 

For the background she used a light colored gray ink to cover the white panel with coffee mug images. Then she stamped the big sentiment on the top, embossing it in black.  She added some black paint splatters and then she cut the panel out using the scalloped rectangle from our Frames & Flags Die Set. She added the die cut mugs and coffee beans over the top to finish the card front. 

This sweet little card would be a great Valentine to send to a coffee lover! Or, with the colors she used, you could use it any time of year just to send a happy hello!

Snowman Thank You Card by Larissa Heskett

Snowy Thank You!

Today we are sharing an adorable snowy thank you card by Larissa featuring our Snowman Postage Sampler Stamp Set. 

To begin, Larissa used the cute little snowmen and snowflakes from the Snowman Postage Sampler Stamp Set to create a fun background. She stamped and embossed the snowmen all over the background and then used different colors of distress inks to stamp the snowflakes. 

Next, she cut out two hearts using our Heart Frames Die Set. One heart was cut from white paper and the other was cut using a blue polka dot from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad. She stamped and colored two more snowmen to put onto the center of the heart, cuttting them out using the coordinating Snowman Postage Sampler Die Set

She added a banner under the heart to hold the sentiment. The banner was cut out using our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set and the thank you sentiment was stamped using our Daffodils Stamp Set.

What a perfectly sweet snowy thank you!

Snowflake Shaker Card by Larissa Heskett

Snowy Shaker

Do you know someone who is getting buried in snow this week?  Today we have beautiful snowy card by Larissa that is perfect for sending well wishes on a snow day!

This card features our Falling Snow Toner Card Fronts along with our Snowfall and Essential Tags die sets.

To begin, Larissa used our the snowy toner background page from our Falling Snow Toner Card Fronts. She used a heat laminator to apply rainbow foil over the top to create a beautiful rainbow filled with snow!

Next, she created a shaker tag. She cut out a tag using our Essential Tags Die Set and then used our Snowfall Die Set to create a shaker window. She added a snowflake, also using our Snowfall Die Set onto the front of the window and then filled her shaker with glitter and tiny hearts and snowflakes. 

She added the sentiment "thinking of you" from our Orchids Stamp Set to the bottom of the tag. Then she added tons of pretty ribbons to the top of the tag and added it to her card, layering it over the snowy rainbow.  

We love the beautiful snowy rainbow on this card and the shaker makes it feel extra special!
