Hello, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release. I have two cards to share today that are quick and easy to create and would be great for mass producing. I like to stretch the use of my dies and hot foil with them. I hot foiled THIS die with THIS glimmer foil on colored cardstock. I cut a mask from typing paper to cover the foiled...
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...
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...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I have a card set to share that features a reveal window that can hold a gift card… VIDEO You can watch the video on how I created these cards HERE or click on the video below… I started by die-cutting THIS Reindeer Parts die using a variety of cardstocks. I cut the main portion from a...
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. I used THIS coordinating die to partially cut it out. I made sure the top plate of the die-cut machine ended right before the bottom line of the die. This allows it to cut the top part of the...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m excited to be taking part in THIS instagram hop celebrating new products form Scrappy Tail Crafts. I have a fun, interactive 3D Gingerbread House card to share today… I started by cutting the main house portion using THIS die set from kraft card stock. I cut the roof from kraft cardstock as well and blended on top with a brown for a darker look. I trimmed off the scalloped edge...
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...
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...
Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s post is bittersweet. It’s part of a farewell post to Reverse Confetti. I have had so much fun being on the design team for Reverse Confetti this year and sad to see them close their doors, but excited for the next chapter for Jen. I have a card and video to share today… VIDEO You can watch the video on how I created this card HERE or click on...
Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s STAMPtember collaboration stamp set is THIS one from Tim Holtz… I started by stamping the main image and sentiment from THIS stamp set with black pigment ink and clear heat embossing it for some shine. I masked off the Santa scene and ink blended the night sky. Once it was dry, I masked off the sentiment area and applied white pigment ink over the ink blended sky to create...
