cardmaking - Right as Rain

Cottage Cutz Nautical Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a nautical-themed card showcasing the CottageCutz Lighthouse die. If you have followed this blog for awhile, you may recall that nautical is one of my favorite cardmaking themes.

I die-cut the lighthouse from a variety of cardstock pieces and glued it together.
I stamped the Stampin’ Up sentiment on to a triangle cut with the Color Block Slices die set.
I added the lighthouse and stamped light ray to a patterned paper background and finished it with a frame cut with the A2 Rectangle Frames set.

Another Hero Arts Spring Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. I shared a similar card here.

I die-cut the watering can and flowers from white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I stamped the sentiment, from a retired Hero Arts set and cut it with a small tag die. I tied the sentiment on to the can.
I added the assembled can with flowers to the patterned paper background with foam adhesive.
I drew a dotted border with a white pigment pen around the edge to add to the homespun feeling of the card.

Cottage Cutz – Spring Garden Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card created with the Cottage Cutz Puppy in Garden Cart set. Working with these sets is a bit like working a jigsaw puzzle!

I die cut the cart, dog, plants, and umbrella from a variety of cardstock. To some I applied Distress Ink. I added Yellow Stickles to the centers of the flowers.
I stamped the Your Next Stamp Happy Gnomies sentiment on to a rectangular panel and added Distress Inks to create the horizon line.
I added a frame to the card base and added the assembled garden cart with foam adhesive.

Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a Valentine’s Day card featuring the 51-646 Wagon Ride set here.

I created a horizon line on a 4 1/4″ square card base.
I cut the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, brush silver, and kraft cardstock and assembled it.
I die-cut the flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch and 51-618 Swinging sets from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, which I heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from yellow cardstock.
I adhered the sentiment and flowers to the card base.

Spellbinders April 2021 Clear Stamp Kit Club

Hello! Today I am sharing a brightly-colored, thank you card created with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club at Spellbinders – “Around the Bend.”

I used the stamp set along with this month’s Large Die of the Month – “Universal Curved Border Set.”

I cut the orange and pink cardstock panels at the same time with a die in the Large Die of the Month set.
I heat-embossed the sentiment on the orange cardstock panel.
I stamped the vine and flowers on a white cardstock panel.
I adhered the orange and pink panels to the stamped panel and trimmed the sides.
