Make a Splash

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this adorable card for my design team post. I have another sweet die set to showcase on this card from the new Spring die release.

The Splish Splash Duckling was shaded with my Oxide Inks and tucked inside the oversized tub.  I also cut out a sign from the Route 66 Road Signs die set for the sentiment.  The circle is from the Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set.

I selected a cheery background for featuring the duck at the focal point of my card.  I trimmed down the road sign, stamped it with a fun sentiment and layered the 2 pieces.

To build my card, I placed the scallop circle die cut in the center of my card.  The sweet duck was centered inside the circle.

Next, the water splashes and bubbles were clustered around the duck for a whimsical look on my card.

The layered sentiment sign was adhered on the bottom of the card for a final finishing touch.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Happy Birthday

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a birthday card created with the new Spring dies.  In my family we have several birthdays over the next few months so I converted the sweet Carrot Farmer Truck to a farm truck loaded with flowers from the new Spring Blooms die set.

I found some bright and cheery papers in my stash and used them to create my card base that coordinated perfectly.

Next, I cut out the truck and added the flowers to the back.  I used the Route 66 sign pieces for the sentiment and for an embellishment. The card panel is from the Stitched Rectangle set and the circle is from the Circle set.

The card panel and circle were adhered on top of my card base.  The truck was nestled inside the circle.

My first embellishment was placed at the top of the panel leaving enough room for the sentiment arrow.

Once I added the arrow, a set of coordinating enamel dots were placed vertically along the edge of the card panel.  The embellishments were the perfect finishing accents on this fun and festive card.

Road Trip

Happy Friday everyone!  It's Jeanne today and my cards uses some great dies from the new "Just for Guys" release.  (Although these really aren't just for guys - this would make a great card for anyone going on a road trip!)

The card features the letters from the Retro Alphabet set.  I cut them all out of white cardstock to begin.

Some of the backgrounds were similar but the nice  thing about this set is that you can mix and match the backgrounds for the letters!

I colored the backgrounds and letters using Copic markers to match the colors in the patterned paper I was planning to use.

Next I cut the background pieces from the Route 66 Road Signs set using vanilla cardstock.  I left these uncolored.

I cut a panel slightly smaller than 4/14 x 5 1/2 inches.

I adhered all my elements to the panel with some hanging off.  I used scissors to trim these and then glued the panel to a top fold A2 card base.

I love the retro look of these dies.  Great for men (or women)!
