Hi there, crafty friends. I have been in a creative rut lately so I thought I would try mixing up what size panel I start to create with and that definitely helped get my creative juices flowing. I chose a slimline size today instead of the normal A2 size… To create this card, I starred by applying Distress Oxide inks on a slimline panel, blending each color to create an ombre background. I sprited...
Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s card features a background with lots of texture thanks to Embossing Glazes and stencils… To create this card, I started by applying Orange, Yellow, Teal, and Brown ink through an older stencil in my crafty stash (it’s the Autumn Wreath stencil from SSS). Once dry, I applied THIS clear ink on top of the inking I just did. Next I applied the coordinating color of Embossing Glaze on top...
Hi, crafty friends. I have a slimline card to share today featuring THIS STAMPtember collaboration stamp set from Hero Arts… To create my card, I started by stamping the floral images from THIS stamp set on a white slimline sized panel of cardstock using black pigment ink. I clear heat embossed the images so they would resist the ink I applied on top. I applied a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks on top of...
Hi again, crafty friends. Today’s card features THIS new card kit… The kit contains multiple white tags so I thought it would be fun and different to create a tag card. I started by applying Distress Oxide ink to the inside of the kit’s embossing folder. I applied it on the flat side, not the raised side. Next, I spritzed it with water, laid my tag inside and ran it through my die cut...

Hello, crafty friends. Today’s cards were inspired by day four of THIS Embossing Folder class from Online Card Classes where Cathy Zielske shared using two embossing folders on one card… To create this card, I started by ink blending a white panel with Distress Oxide inks.

Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards are part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release… For the first card…. …I started with the background.

I spritzed it with water to create some texture… I added THIS die cut sentiment along...
Howdy, crafty friends. I have two cards to share featuring THIS stamp set and coordinating dies… For the first card… I started by ink blending a rainbow of Distress Inks on the front of a saline card base. I stamped the row of hearts image from THIS stamp set on top of each color using the same color to add some interest to the background. I stamped the butterflies from the same stamp set...
Hello there, crafty friends. I have more inspiration to share today using THIS new release… To create this card, I die cut one of THESE hearts from a center of THIS watercolor cardstock and embossed it with THIS embossing folder. I also cut a heart from the front of a white note card in the same spot as the panel. Before embossing the cardstock, I spritzed it with a fine mist of water on both...
