Warm Christmas Mini Slimline Card

Hello again, crafty friends. It’s cold here in Ohio so I thought I would share a warm Christmas scene card and daydream about the beach… I started by creating the background. I ink blended a mini slimline panel with three colors of Distress Oxide Inks and spritzed water on top to add some texture and interest. I stamped the wave image from THIS Warm Christmas stamp set using blue ink and then shifted the...

Joy to You and Yours Card Kit

Howdy, crafty friends. I used THIS new card kit to create today’s card… I cut the kit’s patterned papers down into four rectangles and adhered them together to cover a panel. I die-cut a circle from the center and from the front panel of a blue note card. I sandwiched a piece of vellum in between the note card and the patterned paper panel. I die-cut the Santa die from the kit from white...

Holiday Sparkle Release

Hello again, crafty friends. Today’s card features new products from THIS release by Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I stamped THIS image on the top and bottom of an A2 sized white panel.

Picket Fence October 2022 Release

Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s card share features THIS new release from Picket Fence Studios… I started by creating the kraft background. I inked up THIS new snowflakes stencil with white pigment ink and laid it on a kraft cardstock panel face down and ran it through my die-cutting machine with an embossing pad. Not only does it “stamp” the paper but leaves an impression. It’s hard to capture in the photos but gives...

Merry Ornament Card

Hello, crafty friends. I’m back with more inspiration from THIS release… I started by stamping THIS stamp set to create a background. I temporarily taped the entire stamp set to the door of my MISTI and inked it up without removing any sentiments. I stamped it on a blue panel of cardstock. Using your stamp sets as a whole to create a background is a great way to stretch your supplies. I die-cut THIS...
