Hello, crafty friends. Recently, I shared THIS post where I featured the regular sized slimline envelope die. Slimline cards are not just one size. The mini size slimline cards are popular right now and I’m excited to create envelopes for them using THIS new die. It is a slimline envelope die as well, but in the smaller slimline size. Check it out… I die-cut THIS new die using some Bo-Bunny dot 12×12 paper (that...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m back today with a mini note card set that would be perfect for Valentine’s Day… I started by making all the kraft mini note cards. They measure 2.75 x 3.75. I dry embossed THIS frame die on the front of each note card using an embossing mat with my die-cut machine. I stamped and colored THIS adorable images and used THESE coordinating dies to cut them out. I attached...
Howdy, crafty friends. Back in February, I shared THIS post where I shared more information about envelope dies. I want to add another size envelope to that mix. Slimline cards are so popular right now and I’m excited to create envelopes for them using THIS new die… Just like my previous post, I die-cut THIS die using some Bo-Bunny dot 12×12 paper (that I’ve hoarded forever LOL) in a rainbow of colors. After cutting...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m sharing several cards today featuring products from THIS new release from the Ink Blot Shop… For the first card… I stamped THIS background and die-cut it with THIS stitched rectangle die.

I added the panel to a black note card and finished off the design with...
Hello there, crafty friends. I decided to continue the STAMPtember celebration with more inspiration using THIS new release… I make a lot of treat bags during the Holidays and wanted to share an idea with something that we all likely have on hand…envelopes.

Hello, crafty friends. I wanted to dedicate a week showcasing five different ways to use a stencil. Today is Day One and I wanted to start of simple with basic ink blending through a stencil… I inked up THESE brushes with dye ink and applied the ink through THIS stencil in a swirly motion on to a few envelopes. You can do the same thing to create quick and easy card panels but I...
Hi there, crafty friends. Simon Says Stamp recently released some envelope dies and I’m obsessed. I spent an afternoon watching Netflix and creating envelopes and thought I’d share them here. First up is THIS A2 V Flap envelope that will fit a standard card with a little wiggle room…. One thing to note about this die is you have to run it twice through your die-cut machine unless you have a bigger style of...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s cards are super small and unexpected… I wanted to create a couple of shaped cards using THIS sweet image. I stamped it with THIS ink and colored them in using THIS watercolor once the black ink was dry. I traced them twice and cut those out to create card backs. I scored a line on the back piece towards the top and applied adhesive above that line to create a...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m back today with a quick and easy way to decorate envelopes…. We spend so much time on our cards but sometimes the envelope gets overlooked. I don’t always have the time to go all out on the envelope but wanted to share a quick way I’ve found to jazz them up a bit. There are many stamps that are perfect for decorating envelopes like THIS one. I stamped it on...
Hi, crafty friends. I wanted to share a quick way to add a little something to your envelopes. I used THESE envelopes for my examples today… I love the look of coordinating envelopes but don’t always have time to add matching art to them. So I wanted to have a few on hand that were already decorated and ready to go. Since I don’t know which cards they will be paired with, I wanted...
