Howdy, crafty friends. I recently shared THIS video talking about how I choose color combinations. Today’s card shares another example of that… To create this card, I cut THESE flower dies and THESE leaves dies from colors of cardstock that matched my Color Cube card. I cut THIS heart die from teal cardstock and ran it through my embossing folder with THIS stencil and THIS embossing mat. This makes an impression of the stencil...
Hello there, crafty friends. There is a new color in the Distress Ink family! Let me introduce you to Scorched Timber… I’m a fan of bold bright colors so I have to admit, I don’t typically gravitate toward brown. However, I feel like it is a great color paired up with other colors. It can really ground other colors. On my card, I paired it with colors that really compliment it like reds, pinks,...
Hi, crafty friends. I have another card to share featuring THIS new release from the Ink Blot Shop… To create this card, I stamped THIS background stamp on a white A2 panel using black ink. I colored in the pumpkins with Copic Markers and stamped THESE faces on the pumpkins. I white heat embossed a sentiment from THIS stamp set and added THIS to the eyes. Here’s a closer look… I also stamped the...
Hello again, crafty friends. I’m so excited to be part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I have two cards to share today where I created shaker cards from cover plate die cuts… To create these cards, I cut THIS and THIS cover plate from white cardstock several times (6 times for each card). I adhered each layer together on top of a white card base. For the last (top) layer, I...
Hello, crafty friends.

Hi, crafty friends. I’m back today with a card that has all the tropical summer vibes… I started by stamping the images in the Tropical Silhouettes stamp set on a white 5×7 panel using Distress Oxide inks. I purposely stamped them light and only once to get a bit of imperfection and the look of faux fabric. I gold heat embossed the dot pattern from the same stamp set in the open spaces and...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new Reverse Confetti release… I have a few projects to share with you today using the new release… To create the slimline card, I covered a panel using colored card stock strips.

Hello, crafty friends. Tim Holtz recently revealed the new Distress color HERE and it has quickly become my favorite. It reminds me of the ocean (my happy place) so I’m sharing a couple of ocean themed cards today… For the first card… I started by applying white embossing paste through the Spring Boho Circle stencil. After it was dry, I sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Stain on top heavily and then spritzed with water to...
Happy Friday, crafty friends. Today’s STAMPtember collaboration stamp set is from Honey Bee Stamps… I white heat embossed the large circle image and a sentiment from THIS stamp set and applied Distress Oxide inks on top with THESE blender brushes. The heat embossing resists the color. I also sprayed on some water with THIS for some texture. Crackling Campfire is the newest Distress Oxide ink and I love how it pairs with Fossilized Amber...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m sharing a simple sympathy card today with an ink blended background… I’m not the best at coloring so I’m always looking for ways to add color without coloring individual images. I started by stamping the leaves from THIS stamp set on THIS note card with THIS ink. Whenever I want to fill a background with individual images, I lay as many as I can out on the panel inside my...
