Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card showcases THIS new card kit from Simon Says Stamp. To create this card, I started by die-cutting the 3-D card die twice from Sea Glass Cardstock.

I stamped the adorable critters from the same stamp set on a 2 3/4 x 5 1/2 white panel and...
Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s cards are part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp.. For these cards, I wanted to do a Peekaboo effect where the majority of the design is on the inside of the card instead of the outside. I wanted to keep the outside pretty simple and only reveal a small window of design. That way, the inside would be a surprise for the recipient....

I die-cut the...

I have a teacher card to share today since the end of the school year is quickly approaching… To create this card, I started by inking up each layer of the Layering Alphas Alphabet Stencil.

Hello, crafty friends.

I cut each piece down in one inch strips and adhered them to A2 white panels making sure each color strip lined up to complete the background pattern. I added small strips of black glossy cardstock to the top and...
Howdy, crafty friends. I love when one technique turns into multiple backgrounds and I wanted to share two cards I created from second generation stamping… Recently, I shared THESE cards with THIS video where I shared how you can get another background by stamping a second time.
