Now onto some fun projects!
I thought I would start off with this card that uses the adorable little elephant from Tremendous Treats: Birthday.
I started by creating a bit of a medallion with all the patterned ties from World's Greatest using Aqua Mist, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores and Charcoal Palette inks. I knew I was going to cover up the center, so I didn't worry too much about how that portion looked.
I die-cut the standard circle and pinked edge circle using the Limitless Layers 1.75" Circle die collection with New Leaf cardstock. I then stamped the elephant from Tremendous Treats: Birthday onto bitty dot paper from the Aqua Mist pattern pack using Charcoal Palette ink. I added a touch of color to the star with a New Leaf Copic Marker. The little guy was cut out as well and layered over the New Leaf circles.
To finish the card I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from Heart-2-Heart #2 in True Black. The focal point was adhered to a Soft Stone card base.
Next I thought I would do a little something festive with the patterned balloons from Heart-2-Heart #2.
The flow & point size of the script words in Signature Greetings is the perfect thing to embellish to make "attached" balloon strings. Here, I stamped one of the sentiments from that set and added a little extra flourish to the top of the "Y" using a black pen.
I stamped three rows of balloons at the top alternating Summer Sunrise, Melon Berry & Aqua Mist inks, making sure one of them fell perfectly in place at the top of the "Y" that I extended.
I then die-cut an additional balloon from white cardstock and stamped it with Melon Berry ink.
I then used a 2-way glue pen to adhere Prisma glitter to it. Everything was adhered to an Aqua Mist card base.
This bright and bold rainbow card was super easy to create and would be a breeze to mass-produce.
I started by stamping the gorgeous "Happy Birthday" sentiment from Think Big Favorites #14 at an angle on a white card front using Smokey Shadow ink.
I then added random widths of cardstock in a rainbow of colors above and below the sentiment. I trimmed them all from the back of the white block after I was done adhering.
I stamped the star from Super Stars three times, once in Pure Poppy onto a die-cut Seeing Stars shape. Then two additional times on scrap cardstock in Summer Sunrise & Orange Zest, cutting them out at different intervals so that I could layer them like this. A black rhinestone was added to the center to finish it off.
Next, I used the beautiful "Get Well Soon" sentiment from Think Big Favorites #14 as the starting point for this next card.
I die-cut the pieces for the flower with the Rosie Posie dies collection and stamped the coordinating images within them using Orange Zest, Raspberry Fizz & Ripe Avocado. I then used Copic Markers (RV19, YR18, YG95) to add small flicks of color to each of the pieces. Clear rhinestones finish the center of the flower.
The sentiment from Think Big Favorites #14 was stamped onto a strip of Raspberry Fizz cardstock and heat embossed with White Filigree Embossing Powder.
The card cover was created with the striped paper from the Dark Chocolate Paper Pack. I just LOVE these particular stripes and know I will be reaching for them often! All of this was adhered to a white card base.
For my last project today I paired up Tremendous Treats: Birthday with the balloons from Heart-2-Heart #2.
I stamped the turtle on Spring Moss cardstock and trimmed him out with scissors. I then stamped him a second time on Simply Chartreuse cardstock and trimmed out just the shell. I layered the two to together and used a YG95 Copic Marker to color in the turtle's spots.
The balloons were die-cut and stamped with Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse & Orange Zest. The mat layer is a piece of white cardstock impressed with the previously released By the Numbers Impression Plate. I adhered the turtle in place and then added twine to the balloons and adhered them in place as well. I brought all of the twine to the back of the turtle and trimmed the ends.
I hope you have enjoyed all of my creations today. I certainly enjoyed working with these fun new sets. All of them definitely have more versatility than initially meets the eye!
