THANKS A TON CARD | SIZZIX

Hello my dear crafty friends, how are you? I have a very cute card to share with you all. Let's start!

Please visit sizzix.co.uk for more inspiration and education.

This card features

1. Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Free Style Florals
2. Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit (White & Gray)
3. Sizzix Accessory – Permanent Pens, 12PK (Assorted Colours)

CARD MAKING DETAILS

I started by die-cutting one of the dies from Free Style Florals in white card stock with the help of Sizzix Side Kick Machine.

Next I colored the die-cuts with the shades of green markers by Sizzix.

I stamped these cuties in Memento Black ink which is an alcohol friendly ink, and simply colored them with Sizzix markers. 

I added cheeks with light pink marker

and added highlights with white gel pen.

Then I took another panel which is smaller than the main card base and distressed with Broken China Distress Ink with the help of ink blending tool and foam.

I adhered all the images with Tacky Glue.

And finally stamped the sentiment on a piece of card stock and fussy cut it and adhered over the card front.

A few more shots for you

And that's all for today. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for stopping by today. See you soon! :)

FUNNY EASTER CARDS | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Do you like making funny cards! Basically, I'm a very fun loving person. I usually open up my views and thoughts to the people those who are very close to me. I often don't speak to people much, I wouldn't say that I am an introvert but.. I don't know, may be! :P

I made these funny Easter Cards for Sizzix Lifestyle using their Spring Animals Bigz Die. I also used Distress Inks for my projects.

Dies - Spring Animals
Die-cutting Machine - Big Shot Plus

Distress Inks - Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers

Other Ink - Archival Jet Black Ink

Stamp - Happy Little Stampers, Birthday Friends

Oh! this chicken is laying an egg and happily sighing 'whoops' with those smiley eyes! :)

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• Started the card by ink smooshing the panel which is smaller than the main card base with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink
• I die-cut the hen from white card stock and ink smooshed it's body with Mustard Seed and the wing with Spiced Marmalade
• I hand drew the egg and smooshed it with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink
• I adhered the ink smooshed panel over the main card base and also adhered the hen over it.
• I placed the egg at an angle to create an illusion that the hen is laying! LOL
• Finally stamped the sentiment from Happy Little Stampers - Birthday Friends with Archival Jet Black ink, drew a speech bubble around the sentiment, fussy cut it and adhered at the top of the card.

Dies - Spring Animals

Die-cutting Machine - Big Shot Plus Machine

Distress Inks - Black Soot, Picked Raspberry and Chipped Sapphire

Ink - Archival Jet Black Ink

Sentiment stamp - Skipping Stones, Sassy Cats

Does his butt look big here?? I think so! hahaha

HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• The procedure was similar to the above card. 
• I used Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink to ink smoosh the background and the die-cuts repectively
• I adhered and foam mounted all the panels over the card base
• And adhered the sentiment strip over the die-cut

And that's all for today. See you tomorrow with more cards. Thanks for visiting! :)

A Cartoony Card / Happy Little Stampers / Video

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I used a colored card stock, I normally don't use the colored ones. To be honest I'm little afraid of using them! But this time I really wanted to try and see how stamping looks on colored card bases. I didn't go for the brighter shade base but I went with a lighter one - Cream Color! I just wanted to keep my card panel plain from colors so I went with the color scheme - Cream, Black and Gray :)

The theme behind this card was 'Friends Come in all Shapes and Sizes but Friendship Stays Forever'!

CARD DETAILS

• I took a standard sized white Neenah Card stock and folded into half. This time I went with the landscaping card rather than top folding card.
• I took another panel which is cream in color and it is slightly smaller than the main card base.
• Next I took stamps from Happy Little Stampers - Birthday Friends and stamped them on the cream panel with Archival Jet Black Ink.
• Next I stamped the circles randomly from Mix Mash stamp set in gray ink. Actually the ink pad I used is not gray, it's black! I didn't refill the stamp pad and hence the gray color ;)
• I took my black permanent marker pen and doodled the lines to create a base for my Hippo and Elephant! and also added a few dots here and there with the same marker.
• I wanted the main card panel to be free from sentiment so I stamped the inside part with Archival Jet Black Ink, sentiment from Whimsical Friends
• And for the finishing touch I added Crystal Stickles on to the background and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen for the animals.
• And that's it! ;)

VIDEO DETAILS

I have filmed a video for you from start to finish where I shared tips and tricks along the way. Enjoy!

Cute Father's Day Card with Happy Little Stampers!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another video for Happy Little Stampers. In this video I'm going to show you how to create a 'Cute and Fun Father's Day Card'! Why always make some rustic and manly cards for Dad? Dads are cute, they need some sweet and pretty stuff too :p What do you say?

CARD DETAILS

Making this card was very simple! For the panel... I purposefully used the tag die from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Tag Collection instead of Rectangular die because I need that embossed part on all four sides. If I had used the rectangular die, it might not fit in the card and I wouldn't be able to achieve the look that I wanted! (You can see in the video what I'm blabbering about)

I love creating little scenes on my cards! The little scenes sure would bring a smile on someone's face! After masking and ink blending the scene with Peeled Paint and Broken China distress inks I added droplets of water. The distress inks does reacts with water and create a nice texture on your card and this would definitely add something to your card.

The elephant from Birthday Friends stamp set is really very cute! I colored the image with Black Soot and Spun Sugar Distress Inks. Water-coloring with distress ink is very easy but you need to practice a little before starting the actual project. I'm not very good with water-colours, I stand a mile away from this but I like try once in a while ;) I added some shimmer with Wink of Stella clear glitter pen. Can you see the shimmer? Love it!

Once everything was adhered I felt something was missing in the card so I added a few yellow sequins from Lawn Fawn. I think the yellow color matches perfectly with the blue and green colors! I stamped the sentiment from the same Birthday Friends Stamp Set. I just wanted to add a sentiment on the inside of the card too so I used 'happy' from Mix Mash and 'Father's day' from Everyday Sentiments.

I'm sharing a video on how I put this card together. You can watch it HERE or at my YouTube Channel. If you like the video please give it a thumbs up, share it with your friends and also don't forget to subscribe to my channel.
