Mushroom Birthday Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Bright Mushrooms for a Birthday Wish!

Tatiana has crafted a delightful birthday card today, brimming with vibrant mushrooms. It's guaranteed to spread joy on someone's special day!

To create this fun card she started by stamping the mushrooms from our Fabulous Fungus Stamp Set and coloring them in a rainbow of fun bright colors. She added dots and highlights using a white gel pen. 

She also stamped tufts of grass using our Newton's Blooms Stamp Set. She cut the images out using the coordinating Fabulous Fungus Die Set and Newton's Blooms Die Set. 

For her card , she started with a white card base. Next she die cut the fun frame with three windows from our Frames & Tags Die Set. She added blue ink to the window cut outs and then assembled everything together. She added mushrooms to each window and tufts of grass. For the sentiment she added "Oh, Cremini" onto the top window and then stamped and embossed "It's your birthday!" in white onto a pink cardstock strip which she adhered up the side of the frames. What a fun message combo! It goes perfectly with the mushroom theme! 

We hope this colorful mushroom card has made you smile today!

Reading Makes Ruff Days Better Card by Zsofia Molnar

So Many Books!

Today Zsofia has created a card full of colorful books that is sure to make a book lover smile! 

This adorable card features two stacks of books from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set and another stack of books with a puppy on top from our All Booked Up Stamp Set. The book piles from these two sets pair perfectly together! Zsofia stamped the three book images and then colored them in fun bright colors. She also added in the eyeglasses, clock and mug from the two sets. All the images were cut out using the coordinating Never Enough Books Die Set and All Booked Up Die Set.

Keep Growing!

Today Diane has created an adorable shaped card that is filled with floral fun! 

To create this beautiful card she used the image of tall daisies from our new Floral Delights Stamp Set. she colored the daisies in shades of yellow and orange and used the coordinating Floral Delights Die Set to cut the image out. She also added some cute little bees using the same stamp and die combo. 

For her card, she created a shaped card using the big banner from our Basic Frames Die Set. She cut it out of red gingham paper from our Bright Basics Paper Pad. What a fun idea!

Mystery at the Dog Park Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Create a Scene with Die Cuts!

Have you ever created a scene using die cuts? Today we are sharing a card by Ellen has created using several of our favorite die sets to inspire you!

Ellen started by die cutting the stitched rectangle using our Basic Frames Die Set. This will be the panel for her scene. She inks up the panel in blue distress inks and adds a bit of splatter to make it into a night sky. Next, she cuts a piece for the ground using our Land Borders Die Set, inking it up with shades of brown and adding lots of splatter for texture. 

Once she has her setting in place, she adds a stack of books to the center of the scene using the book images that come with our Bookmark II Die Set. She uses our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to add the trees, leaves and the little bird that is perched on the books. The stars in the sky were die cut using our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. Then she adds a dog using our Dog Silhouettes Die Set and a speech bubble using our Dog Silhouettes Die Set. Inside the speech bubble she embossed a message from our Puppy's Reading List Stamp Set. This sentiment works perfectly with the theme of the card! So fun! To finish the scene she frames it with a yellow zig zag edged frame, die cut using our Frames & Tags Die Set. 

We hope you are inspired by this gorgeous scene that Ellen created using mostly die cuts! Wouldn't it be fun to turn this into a daytime scene by adding a sunny sky? There are so many options! We hope you are inspired to try creating a scene using dies in your craft room!

First, Amanda created a gorgeous background filled with butterflies using our Butterflies Stencil Set. This stencil set includes two pieces, one with the bold butterfly silhouettes and one with the wing patterns. For her project she inked a soft rainbow background. Then she inked the stencil with the bold butterflies using colors that matched the rainbow background. To finish the background she used the stencil with the wing patterns and added glitter paste. So pretty!

For the sentiment she used "spread your wings" from our Heartfelt Butterflies Stamp Set. She embossed the sentiment in white onto a black banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set.

Monarchs Card by Samantha Mann

Fluttering by...

Today Samantha is fluttering by with a gorgeous butterfly themed card!

To create this fun card she stamped a trio of butterflies using our Monarchs Stamp Set. She used watercolors in shades of pink and purple to add color to their wings. She also added white paint splatters over the images. The butterflies were cut out using the coordinating Monarchs Die Set. 

For her card base, she created a beautiful blue background, again using watercolors. She created a bit blue wash and then added lots of splatters in blue and white! She added the background to her card, adding some striped washi tape peeking out from the sides. Then she layered her butterflies on top, adhering them so their wings could be popped up. The final touch is the sentiment, stamped from the Monarchs Stamp Set. She embossed the words in white on two black banners and added them to the center of the card. 

What a gorgeous card! We hope that Samantha has inspired you to get out your watercolors and play!
