Bold, Graphic and Yet Simple Backgrounds

Hi, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a bold graphic and simple to make card. 

I started the card by cutting out the Mama Elephant Striallop Diagonal Die in a sturdy white cardstock. I then cut it out again using Sunny Studio All is Bright 6x6 Paper.  

I had intended to use the reverse of the rainbow paper but changed my mind because the rainbow is brilliant. However, the cuts were now reversed and I had to cut a few more pieces using scraps.

That said, the Mama Elephant Striallop Diagonal Die is not quite symmetrical but still very easy to use.

To continue, I then mounted the lot on black cardstock to match the bold black of the Versafine Onyx Black I used with the Pinkfresh Studio Brushed Sentiments.  Love that contrast!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Fun and Bright Striped Background Card...

 Hello and happy Wednesday everyone! I am sharing this fun and bright card with you today. I used the adorable Stitched Sun Frame and the Outside in Stitched Sun dies from Lawn Fawn.

I began by using the largest rectangle from the Lacy Layers A2 die set to die cut the base panel for the card. Next, I used the Simple Striped Portrait die to die cut stripes from white and turquoise-colored cardstock. I then glued the die-cut strips onto the die-cut stitched rectangle layer. Next, I used the Stitched Sun Frame, and Outside in Stitched Sun dies to create the sun shaker for the card. I then used the cloud dies from the Backdrop Meadow Portrait die to add the clouds to the sun.

I added a bit of color to the edges of the die-cut sun shape using Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold,  and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. I then used the ‘hello’ phrase from the Flamazing stamp set from Avery Elle, and the ‘sunshine’ from the Wish You Were Here stamp set from Trinity stamps. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Using Mini Stamps in the Foreground

Hi, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a fun birthday card or is it a graduation card or maybe a congrats? So versatile!

I stamped the card front using some of the Mama Elephant Oodles of Noodles (Sriracha, lime, pepper, chopsticks) and Lawn Fawn Purrfectly Wicked (spoon and soy sauce) small accessory stamps. 

I then cut an aperture so that the Mama Elephant Oodles of Noodles bowl image could peek out, just like that little bear is doing. So cute!

I colored up everything with Copics, a lot of them because sriracha is a very specific color, thank you very much.

I finished the card by embossing the Mama Elephant Noodle Sayings sentiment onto a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner. Are you hungry now?  LOL!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Fun Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop Birthday Card...

 Hello everyone, happy Wednesday!! I am sharing this super fun birthday card using the Backdrop Stitched Woodgrain and the Backdrop Tropical Leaves dies from Lawn Fawn. 

I began by die-cutting the layers to create the adorable lion from the Peek-A-Boo Birthday Tag Toppers die set from Avery Elle.

Next, I die cut the base layer for the card using the Backdrop Stitched Woodgrain and the Backdrop Tropical Leaves dies. 

I then added color to the Backdrop Tropical Leaves die-cut layer using Merman, Fake Tan Lawn Fawn inks, and  Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Dried Marigold, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Inside Birthday Greetings stamp set onto the die-cut tag from the  Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag set.
