Greetings, fellow card-makers!

Thanks for stopping by and spending a few minutes with me today!

I'm taking a break from some of my regularly scheduled assignments and posts to share a card with a mashup of products from two of my favorite companies - The Stamp Market and The Greetery.

If you aren't familiar with either of these companies, then do yourself a favor and take a couple minutes to browse their sites! Here are a couple highlights on why I love these two brands.

The Stamp Market has so many super fun products! I love Amy's bold style and the trendy look of her stamps and dies. She also just launched a line of ink pads which I am SO excited about and will be ordering soon! Her inks are made with foam pads, so the coverage you get will be ahh-mayyyz-ing!! The Stamp Market also offers innovative dies which create three dimensional flowers, super cute decorative ribbons, and also some beautiful patterned paper!

The Greetery is a newer company to join the crafting party, and BOY OH BOY, where they worth the wait!! I am such a shabby-chic, vintage-style loving girl in my heart, and when I saw the designs from this company, I did a happy dance! Betsy's style is sweet and lovely, and I feel like a true artist when I create with these products!

So let's get to the card, shall we??? This one would be super easy to create on your own!


I started out by cutting a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of kraft cardstock and laying it into my MISTI stamping tool. I inked up the Jumbo Plaid background stamp  with Unicorn White pigment ink and then stamped it down.

While the pigment ink was drying, I went ahead and stamped and die cut the rest of my elements!

After using the Skinny Alpha dies to cut out all the letters for my sentiment, I then stamped and die cut out my fruit and leaf images with the Lemon Blossom stamp and die set and various Altenew ink cubes (Greens, Yellows, Corals, and Blues).

Now it's time to put the card together!



I glued down all my images, and at this point you might be tempted to freak out, thinking that these cute little guys might be totally obstructed by your letters at the end. But don't worry! These alphabet dies are awesome because they are so skinny, so you can still see ALL the elements of the card at the same time, and they won't compete with each other or distract from the focal point of the card - which is that large sentiment!

So after all the fruit and floral images were glued down, I just glued down my letters (tip - use a ruler so that you can make sure your letters are all lined up straight!), and then glue the finished panel on to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5,5 inch card base.

Well that's it for me today! Thanks again for joining me and have yourself a crafty day!!
