Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card is part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. It is actually part two of THIS card that I shared yesterday…. When I foiled the card from yesterday, I was left with the negative of the pattern.

Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s card features a background with lots of texture thanks to Embossing Glazes and stencils… To create this card, I started by applying Orange, Yellow, Teal, and Brown ink through an older stencil in my crafty stash (it’s the Autumn Wreath stencil from SSS).

Cozy Wishes Cards

Hello, crafty friends. I have several cards to share today featuring some fun dies from Spellbinders. I just couldn’t make one because all of the dies were too adorable.

I adhered the slipper dies on an embossed background and a wood floor created with THIS cardstock and a strip of white cardstock resembling a baseboard. For the first card… I...

Sending Love Sunflower Card

Hello again, crafty friends. I have a 5×5 square card to share today… To create this card, I applied ink through THESE layering stencils to create a sunflower background. I used a darker cardstock so to make the inks stay bright, I used Distress Oxide inks. Because of the ink’s pigment properties, it will stay bright on dark colored cardstocks. Instead of using the last layer of the stencils, I just added some white...
