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,...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new Reverse Confetti release.

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...
Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards were created by stretching one technique to create multiple cards… For the first two cards, I sprayed Distress Spray Stain and a Distress Mica Stain through the Snowflake Cluster stencil to create the backgrounds. On the first card, I didn’t sprayed farther away and sprayed a bit of water on top to get a bit of a softer look… For the second card, I used the same sprays...

Hello, crafty friends. Tim Holtz just released a new Distress Color….Villainous Potion. It’s such a nice addition to the Distress line. I immediately thought of Halloween when I saw it… I started by covering a piece of white cardstock with the Distress Ink.
