I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Sugar & Spice Blog Hop. This post will have lots of inspiration, giveaways and a special offer for this blog hop. Special Offer👇👇👇 This first project features the Candy Cane Plate die and the Fancy Joy & Cheer die set . This card came together effortlessly. I can see making a whole bunch for the holiday season. All die cutting! Next, I created a holiday card featuring the Charming Berry Branch die that I cut from light green cardstock and added to a dark green panel of cardstock for contrast. I added a few red jewels for the berries with a sentiment from the new CZ Designs Inside Greetings Holiday stamp set . Last, I used the coordinating die that is included with the Santa Faces Emboss and cut set . I love the texture and detail that this 3d embossing folder gives to the cute santa faces. I colored them in with copic markers and again used a light green background strip for contrast. Super easy to mak...

It's release day! I am sharing a project featuring the Intricate Bottle Brush Trees die set and the Holiday Duo Sentiment die set from the new Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release .  I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then ran a panel of cream cardstock through a swiss dots embossing folder. I trimmed that down to leave a white border. I then used the Bottle Brush dies to cut several trees from scraps of colored cardstock. I glued them together and arranged them on the cream panel with foam strips. I stamped the sub-sentiment using clear ink and heat set with gold embossing powder on white card stock and trimmed it out and added it under the trees with foam strips. Last, I cut the stars and Joy from gold cardstock and added them to the card for a bit of shine. I hope you enjoyed the project I made and got some inspiration.  I provided affiliate links to all the supplies at no additional cost to you. If you have any questions, please l...

This week I have made a very bright and cheerful card for a friend that needs cheering up using the AALL & Create Lava Lamp stencil . I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then took a 1/4 sheet of thick white cardstock to ink blend with distress ink using the AALL & Create Lava Lamp stencil. After I added the ink with a blender brush I cleaned the stencil and then placed it back over the inked panel to add shinny texture paste with an off set spatula or pallet knife. While that panel was drying I die cut the frame, flowers, and sentiment from white cardstock. I c...

Hello crafty friends! Sharing a Christmas shaker card with you today. I love making a predominantly white card with a pop of color.. I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a quarter size sheet of white cardstock to run through a brick embossing folder. I adhered it to the front of the card base. I then cut out the Arched window four times. Three times from white cardstock and once from acetate. I adhered all the window cuts together with liquid glue to create my shaker element. I added foam strips around the window to hold the sequins.  I then trimmed out a thin piece of white cardstock to fit the back of the window. I cut out a few snowflakes and added that to the back window panel. I cut out the branches from green cardstock and the berries from red metallic cardstock. I added a tie at the top with white twine. I stamped the greeting in red ink and used a coordinating die to cut it out and added it under the branches with foam tape...

This week I have made a fun layered birthday card using the Pink & Main Pocket Full of Posies embossing folder. I began by creating the background panel for this card. I used watercolor cardstock trimmed down and placed inside the embossing folder that I ran through my die cut machine. I then added direct to paper the distress inks dragging them across the raised flowers. I used a water mister to blend the shades of pink togher. I did the same technique when I cut out the decorative panel. I die cut the birthday sentiment out of colored cardstock and adhered it to under the dragonfly with 3d foam squares. I ...

Hello crafty friends! I am happy to share a project featuring the next exclusive STAMPtember collaboration with Pink Fresh Studios - Every Loving Reason. This is an amazing set of stamps that has coordinating layering stencils and dies available. I created this project using white cardstock cut to an A2 size card base. I then ran a panel of white cardstock through an embossing folder to cover the entire card front. I the stamped a sentiment and the large floral frame image from the stamp set in black ink onto white cardstock. Using a stencil mat I added color to the florals with the coordinating stencil set. I used the coordinating die to cut out the floral frame and sentiment. I added them to the card base with foam squares for dimension. I hope you have enjoyed the project I have shared and got some inspiration!  Remember that all STAMPtember exclusive collaborations will only be available while supplies last. I have listed all the supplies I used with affiliate links. Thank you...
