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. 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...

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...

STAMPtember 2022 Reverse Confetti Collaboration

Hello, crafty friends. Today’s STAMPtember collaboration stamp set is THIS one from Reverse Confetti. I decided to create some simple gift tags.
