Welcome to day 3 on the Under the Sea Hop! Click on the hashtag #saturdayunderthesea to see more inspiration from other hop participants. Today I have a fun cartoon slimline card to show you. I’m using a darling set from In Love Arts Shop called Ocean Animals & Mermaid Stamp set. I love the cute way these stamps are drawn.
I stamped the images onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I also stamped out masks for the images. I covered the images with the masks and had fun ink blending using some Distress Inks.
I colored in all my images with an assortment of Copic Markers. I keep my Copics out on my desk because I use them so often. Here’s a picture of my messy desk–lol–but I wanted to show you these marker holders from Stamp & Storage. I love them because they have little slots in them to help me keep my Copics organized.

Hello crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by. The first official day of summer is coming soon – June 20th, and I’m here with some fun inspiration for your summer card crafting using beautiful products from the In Love Arts Shop. I’m also using lots of Distress Oxide Inks to add bright colors to my cards.

I love the look of this alphabet die set, and I’m used the negative piece to create this fun card. First, I blended some Distress Oxide onto a piece of white card stock using rainbow colors. I die cut the Bold Alphabet die set with another a piece of white card stock and cut it down to 51/4 x 4 inches. I used foam tape behind this panel to pop it up. I used the “H” and “I” die cuts for my sentiment. I blended on Candied Apple and Carved Pumpkin and added a double layer of foam tape behind them–the sentiment is popped up even higher than the white panel.
I love the Seaworld embossing folder, and I used it to emboss a piece of Desert Storm card stock. I wanted it to look like sand. I did leave the top of the card stock out of the embossing folder to leave me a space for my Hello sentiment. I used letters from the Bold Alphabet dies for my sentiment. I ink blended Abandoned coral over them and popped them up with foam tape. The “summer” sentiment comes from the “Summer Vacation” stamp set. I stamped it over a piece white card stock which I ink blended some Tumbled glass onto.
This was a fast and fun card to put together. I used more rainbow colors Distress Oxide Inks, and covered it with the Dream die cut. I also die cut it out using some silver metallic paper so I could adhere some silver stars around the panel.
The Blooming Rose Die took up most of the space on this card–I love big dies like this. I took the pieces out of the rose and pounced my ink blending tool on them to get this fun dappled look. I them glued them in place with dots of liquid adhesive. I used the bold alphabet dies again for my sentiment on this card. Another reason I love alphabet dies is you can create your own sentiment!
Distress Oxides: Candied Apple, Twisted Citron
Card #5: Summer Sunshine Card
The images from the Summer Vacation Stamp set are so detailed and cute. I stamped out the sunglasses and flip flops first, masked them, and then stamped the towel. I had to mask the towel to stamp out the tote bag. When you overlap images like this, it make your card more interesting. After all the images were stamped out, I put masks over all of them and ink blended on more Distress Oxides. I wanted it to look hot and summery. I then colored in all my images with Copic markers.
Here’s another big cutting die! I adore it! It’s perfect for making up some fast and cute birthday cards. I masked off the edges of a piece of white card stock and ink blended the same colors that I used on card #1. I left the cupcake white, but I heat embossed some silver embossing powder over the bow and the sentiment.
