Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card features the new card kit from Simon Says Stamp… To create this card, I started by stamping a trio of elf images from the Santa’s Helpers stamp set (included in the kit) on a slimline panel and colored them in with Copic Markers. I also stamped the images on masking paper and fussy cut them out. After placing them on top of the stamped images, I applied a strip...
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card share celebrates THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp. I started by inking up the sky portion only of the Night Before Christmas Background Stamp with a variety of blue Distress Oxide inks. I spritzed it with water before stamping for a faux watercolor look. I love that this is a pull apart stamp where you can stamp it all at once or stamp one image at a time. Next,...
Hello, crafty friends. I have a card share today that I had so much fun creating… I started by ink blending the background. I blended a couple of Concord & 9th inks for the sky and the grass. I didn’t have a grass stencil so I created one by die-cutting a grass die from acetate. I used an older Greetery stencil for the pathway. I die-cut the Pumpkin House pieces from colored card stock...
Howdy, crafty friends. I’m still on a Halloween card making kick… To create this card, I started by applying ink through a dot stencil using white pigment ink on kraft card stock.

I used a action wobbler on...

I added color to them using blending brushes and adhered them on top of a blue A2 panel. I also die-cut the Gnome Treehouse...

Hello, crafty friends. I’m back with a fun scene card today… I started with a 5.25 x 5.25 card panel. I stamped the Mountainscape Background and colored it with Copic Markers. I stamped and colored images from the Den Sweet Den stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I die-cut the Stitched Den dies from the card panel and from woodgrain card stock. I layered the woodgrain pieces into the...
