Howdy, crafty friends. The Basic Box Card Week continues with my favorite design yet… Instead of the typical vertical orientation, I flipped it and used a horizontal orientation to create a fish tank! It was assembled the same way as the previous examples (See Day One’s post HERE for more assembly information). I stamped and colored a few fish and plants from the Oceans of Love stamp set and die-cut the Picture Book Fish...

Hello, crafty friends. I love cover plate dies. The designs cover an entire background but they have a higher price point. Today’s cards feature how you can use a smaller shape die and die-cut it repeatedly to cover a background for a similar look… To create these cards, I stamped and Copic colored the girl images from the new Be Lovely stamp set.

Howdy, crafty friends. I’m back with more inspiration using THIS new release by Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I applied navy ink through the Berries and Leaves stencil on a light blue panel.

Next, I die-cut the Wreath of Love die from white...

Hi there, crafty friends. I’m back with more inspiration from THIS new DieCember release… I started by die-cutting the Detail Tapestry Plate on a white panel for the background. I love that it pierces a pattern instead of cutting. I embossed the Mini Slimline Lattice die on a piece of kraft cardstock using an embossing mat in my die-cut machine. I cut it down and added a thin black mat to three sides and...
