Hi there, crafty friends. I have even more inspiration to share today using THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I started by die cutting THIS die and ink blending the pieces with Distress Oxide inks to create a beach scene. I sprayed the pieces heavily with THIS for some sparkle and shine. Once dry, I adhered the pieces on a side folding white note card. I die cut THIS...
Hi there, crafty friends. I have more inspiration to share featuring THIS new release… To create this card, I started by stamping THIS sentiment using three colors of colored ink and using THESE coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I ink blended an A2 sized white piece of cardstock with the same three colors, covering the entire panel and then spraying it heavily with THIS for some shimmer and shine. I cut THIS...
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s cards are part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release… To create the first card, I started by applying a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks through THIS stencil. I spritzed the piece with THIS shimmer spray for some sparkle and shine. Once dry, I laid THIS coordinating die in place and dry embossed it with THIS mat in my die cut machine. This just makes an impression and makes...

Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards are part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release… I love cover plate dies because you can stretch one background to create two cards! To create these cards, I started by ink blending a panel of THIS watercolor cardstock with Distresss Oxide inks. I spritzed it with THIS spray for some sparkle and texture. After it was completely dry, I die cut the panel using THIS die....
Hi there, crafty friends. I have two cards to share today as part of THIS Blog Hop featuring products from THIS new release… To create these cards, I started with the background. I masked off a section of an A2 panel of white cardstock and blended three colors of Distress Oxide Ink. For the bee card, I blended Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, and Squeezed Lemonade. For the second card, I blended Evergreen Bough, Peacock...
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...
