Hi there, crafty friends. I’m back with more inspiration from THIS new DieCember release… I started by die-cutting the Detail Tapestry Plate on a white panel for the background. I love that it pierces a pattern instead of cutting. I embossed the Mini Slimline Lattice die on a piece of kraft cardstock using an embossing mat in my die-cut machine. I cut it down and added a thin black mat to three sides and...
Happy Thanksgiving, crafty friends! I have a shaped card to share today. I love creating these as they are unique and unexpected. To create this card, I stamped the wreath image from the Thankful Wreath Stamp set using black ink on white cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut it out (the coordinating dies will be released soon!) and colored the entire image using Copic Makers. I used the coordinating die to cut...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release. I have two cards to share that have a peek-a-boo opening that holds a gift… For the first card… I laid out sentiments from THIS, THIS, and THIS stamp set on a gray A2 panel in my MISTI. I used THIS to help me align all of the stamps straight. I stamped all the sentiments at once using...
Hi, crafty friends. The STAMPtember party continues with THIS exclusive stamp collaboration with My Favorite Things… I adhered a piece of THIS patterned paper to the front of THIS card base. I die-cut windows on the front of the card panel using THIS die repeatedly. Inside the windows and on the inside card panel, I stamped cat images from THIS stamp set. I colored them with Copic Markers. I finished off the card by...
Hello there, crafty friends. Today’s project idea is all about sharing handmade kindness… I stamped the sentiments from THIS stamp set on post it notes. I chose to stamp in coordinating ink colors for a tone on tone look. I can add these to the inside of cards, write my message, and the recipient can choose to remove the note and send the card on to a loved one. I love the idea of...
Hi, crafty friends. I wanted to do something a bit different for today’s project so I created card bases from THIS stitching panel die… I die-cut it from three colors of card stock and folded it in half to create a smaller card base. They measure 3.5 x 5 in size and still fit nicely inside a regular A2 envelope. For the pink card, I pushed out all of the circles in the holes...
Howdy, crafty friends. Today’s post is a bit different. I have a home decor/party sign to share. A friend of mine asked me to create a sign for the dessert table at her daughter’s bridal shower… I started by stamping the flower image from THIS stamp set on each side of a 5 x 7 pink card stock panel. For the majority of the sign, I die-cut THESE alphabet letters from THIS card stock....
Hi, crafty friends. I’m wrapping up the Cheer and Joy Release Inspiration Week here on my blog with this card… I’m a big fan of THESE coloring cards, but wanted to change the design a bit. I started by die-cutting the birds using THIS die. I die-cut a piece of patterned paper using a larger die from the same set to mat behind the panel. I colored in the scene using THESE markers. I...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card stretches the use of THIS alphabet die set… I really like alphabet sets because you can customize your sentiments or even use them on kid’s school projects. Instead of cutting apart the individual letters, I decided to keep the majority of them in tact and create a simple background. I ran the whole piece through my die-cut machine after inking up the panel with some Distress Oxide ink blending....
Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards show how you can add color to your images using your coordinating dies… I love to stretch the use of my coordinating dies. They can be used for so much more than just die-cutting your stamped images. For today’s cards, I used THESE coordinating dies and cut them from THIS fun foam. I adhere them temporarily on to an acrylic block and ink them up just like any...
