Hey Friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

My project for today is showcasing the Celebrate the Season release from Spellbinders. I used the Stylish Merry Christmas Etched Die set from the collection as well as the More Holiday Decorations Etched Die set.

This card was pretty easy to put together as it was only die cutting involved!

I cut and scored a kraft card base and set it aside.

I then used the holiday decorations die and cut both the bulb and the ends several times from white cardstock. I colored them with copic markers and then adhered the front bulb piece to the base bulb piece. After I cut a bunch of those out, I repeated the same process with the bulb ends, the curly light strand, and the ornament/jingle bell die.

I glued down all the light bulb and ornament/jingle bell images to the curly strand and then glued all of those assembled decorative strands down to my kraft card base.

I used the Stylish Merry Christmas die cut the shadow piece from vellum and the actual text pieces from gold shimmer cardstock. I glued the letters in place on to the vellum shadow and then applied glue to the back of the shadow piece where the letters were so that the glue would be hidden by the letters. Once that glue was applied, I pressed that finished sentiment piece down to the card to finish everything off!

Thanks again for joining me today and I hope you'll check out this holiday collection - there are so many fun elements in the collection!

Hello, Everyone!

I'm so happy to be sharing some inspiration with you from the newest Honey Bee Stamps release - Autumn Afternoon.

This release is full of all things Fall - which is my favorite season!

Today I have a card to share with you that uses the adorable Let's Hang Out stamp set. 

I began by cutting down a white piece of cardstock to 4 x 5.25 inches. Using a piece of blue painter's tape, I masked off the bottom third of the card. I used my ink blending tool and applied Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot to create the night sky.

I then switched the position of the mask and masked off the top two thirds of the cardstock. I applied Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Forest Moss, and Black Soot to create the grass portion of the card. 

I flicked water on to the entire panel to create the look of texture, and I also flicked white acryllic paint on to the top portion of the card to look like stars. 

After stamping out several images in black ink on to white cardstock, I colored them with my copic markers and then used the matching die set to cut them out. 

I arranged them into this little scene and then adhered them down with liquid glue. 

I stamped a sentiment on to a white piece of cardstock and trimmed it down. After gluing it down to a yellow cardstock matte, I adhered the finished sentiment piece down to the card and finished off the card by applying dry adhesive to the back of my panel and adhering it down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

Welcome, crafty friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and participating in this fun blog hop to showcase the most recent Heffy Doodle release!

Today I'm sharing a card that just makes me smile - and it was really easy to create, so let's get right to it!

I began by stamping several images from the You Go, Gull stamp set and then colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

Seagulls - W1, W3, YR16, YR68

Clouds - B000

Parchment Paper - E53, E55

Bottle - E33, Y13, Y11, T1

Log - E33, E13, E25

I also used the coordinating die set to cut out the images and then set them aside while I constructed the background. 

I used the Breaking Waves border dies and three different colors of Heffy Doodle Cardstock and then sponged some Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks to create a little dimension on the edge of the waves.

I arranged all my die cut images and glued them down using liquid adhesive. I then stamped the sentiment on to the parchment paper image in black ink to finish off the card.

Thank you so much for joining this hop and helping us celebrate a new release! You will find all the details for the blog hop below.

Welcome, crafty friends!

I'm so pleased to be joining this blog hop today to spread the love for the most recent Heffy Doodle release!

I used the Otter Side stamp set and the Stormy Seas stencil to create today's card, so let's get right down to it!


I slipped the stencil over a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base and used an ink blending tool to apply distress oxide inks on to the card, turning the stencil two additional times and using a lighter color of ink. From bottom to top, I used Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China, and Tumbled Glass.



I then stamped images from the Otter Side stamp set on to scrap white cardstock and then colored them with my copics before using the coordinating die set to cut out the images. I then glued them on to the stenciled card base and then went to work on the sentiment.



I used the You are dies to cut out the first part of the sentiment. I glued it it down to the top of the card and then stamped phrases from the Otter Side stamp set underneath it to finish off the card!

So let's get on to the blog hop!

Hey Friends!

I'm popping up here with a quick post to talk about my last card two cards that I created while I was guesting for Sweet N' Sassy Stamps this month!

I am a huge sucker for a cute food doodle stamp set, and I love this one called Punny Love.

This card was pretty simple, and it just involved putting together multiple panels!




I started with creating an alcohol ink panel on Yupo paper and then trimmed it down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches before gluing it down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

I then chose a few other pieces of patterned paper that I had in my stash, trimmed them down to various sizes, and glued them down to the base in a staggered layout to give some visual interest since I knew the main image panel would be pretty simple.

Welcome, Crafty Friends!

I am just absolutely giddy with excitement today! I'm so thrilled to be joining some fantastic folks from The Stamp Market Design Team in showcasing the fabulous new release available for purchase now! You can find the entire new release here!

I'm sharing a few cards today, using various products from the release so let's get right to it!

For my first card, I used the Blooming Peony Stamp and Cut Bundle. What I love about this stamp set is that it's so forgiving! It seems like there's no wrong way to line it up and use it!



I stamped the base floral images on to white cardstock in my lightest pink shade. I then lined up the next layer, stamped it with a slightly darker pink ink, and then repeated this process for the last two layers. After stamping the leaf images, I then used the die to cut out both the flower and the leaves and set them aside.



I then cut down a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of gray kraft cardstock, used one of the leaf images to repeat stamp a background using a matching gray ink color. After gluing the panel on to a cut and scored card base, I used my corner rounder to round only two of the corners of the card to add visual interest.

I finished off the card by mounting my leaf and floral images with foam tape and adhering them on to the card before stamping a sentiment in black ink, die cutting it, and adhering it on to the finished card with foam tape as well!

For my last card, I used some stamps in the ADORABLE Color Me Happy set. I did a little bit of a different size card (a 4-Bar notecard), stamped and colored the paint palette and paintbrush images, and stamped a sentiment to finish things off!


I trimmed down the panel, glued it on to a black matte, and then adhered it down to a cut and scored 4 bar size notecard.

Welcome, crafty friends!

Oh, you guys. I just can't even with this new release. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to color, and all the line art on these new stamp sets just set my coloring heart aglow!!

I'm not even going to drone on about how awesome the release is because seriously the products speak for themselves, so let's get to it!

The images in these stamp sets are easy to color and really easy to arrange so you can make great scenes. Just color, die cut, and arrange! Here's how I did mine:



Don't you just love that tree? It's so stinkin' cute!

And I just love that sentiment--so much fun! Makes me think that I'll send this card to a friend who will hopefully picture me standing on my porch waving to them in the form of this card!

Here's another look you can create with the house and tree images:

Welcome, crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Are you ready for another great release from Catherine Pooler Designs??? You can find the entire release here.

Let's get right to the cards!

Christmas is a perfect time for patterned paper, am I right?!

You can combine different sheets of patterned paper at different angles to create a whimsical and fun look, and that's what I did for this first card.



Cut and score a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base and then adhere your pieces of patterned paper at whatever angle you want on to your card base. Then trim off the edges!

Color the images from the Holiday Charm stamp set using whatever coloring medium you want and then cut them out using the matching dies. You can then arrange them in a wreath-type pattern on to your card by adhering them with foam tape.
