Hello crafty friends. I have some Easter tags to share today… To create these cards, I started by applying two colors of Distress Oxide ink to teach tag. I wanted an Ombre look so I did a darker shade on the bottom of the tag and a lighter shade on top. I spritzed water on top for som added texture. I die-cut THIS die several times from white cardstock. I adhered three together for...
Howdy, crafty friends. I have an Easter themed card to share today… To create this card, I stamped one of the leaf clusters from THIS background twice to fill the card panel. I dry embossed one of THESE rectangles on top using THIS embossing mat in my die cut machine. I die cut the center of the panel using one of THESE arched dies and cut a larger arch from a piece of darker...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release. I started by die-cutting an older goodie bag die twice for each bag from white cardstock. On the front of half of the panels, I stamped images from THIS adorable stamp set. I colored the images in with Copic Markers and then assembled the bags. I stamped a sentiment from THIS stamp set on one of THESE stitched...
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card features products from THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp… I started by creating the background. I stamped THIS background using several colored inks. I did one ray at a time because this stamp is a peel apart stamp. You can also stamp it whole as one color, but I like the option of peeling apart the layers to get multiple colors. Next, I die cut it using one...

Hello there, crafty friends. I’m thrilled to be part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I have a card set to share that features pre printed sentiment strip backgrounds… I’m a big fan of the pre printed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp.

Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card shares a different use for the Sentiment Strips Panels… I’m a big fan of the pre printed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp. They are intended to cut apart and use the sentiments individually, but I decided to keep the panel whole and use as a background. They are printed with toner ink which means they are compatible with foiling. I laid a strip of purple foil on top of...
Hello there, crafty friends. I’m sharing more inspiration using THIS card kit… I die-cut a piece of pattered paper with a Deckle Edge Rectangle die and used a smaller rectangle in the set to emboss a pattern inside. I used an embossing mat in my die-cut machine which makes an impression of the die instead of cutting it out. I die-cut the Repeating Circles die from the center of the panel as well as...
Hello again, crafty friends. Today’s card features THIS new card kit from Simon Says Stamp… I started by cutting the patterned paper into small strips. I laid out all of the strips vertical first. It was a row of five and adhered only the very top of each strip to the gray panel. I started weaving in the remaining strips horizontally. Once I was happy with the placement, I added dots of liquid glue...
