Birthday Party Hats Card
Hello again, crafty friends. I have a birthday card to share today… To create this card, I started with the background. I applied white pigment ink through THIS confetti stencil on a piece of neenah desert storm cardstock. I wanted the colors of the confetti to be vibrant so I like to put a layer of white down before putting dye ink on top. Next, I die cut the panel using THIS stitched rectangle...
Baby Girl Card
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card share is a card I made for a friend’s baby shower… To create this card, I swiped THIS trio of yellow ink across a white A2 panel to create an ombre look.

New Distress Color: Scorched Timber
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,...

Summertime Card
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...
