Easy Valentine’s Day Cards – Sally and Sherman The Skunks

February 12, 2019

Hey peeps. Sharing easy Valentine’s Day cards with the new Sally and Sherman The Skunks stamp set. This stamp set is just darling for Valentine’s Day cards. It has adorable images and great sentiments. You can also purchase the Sally and Sherman The Skunks coordinating crafting dies to go long with the stamps. If you missed my blog hop post check it out here.

For my card today I colored my images with Copic markers and I created a card base with a cute little scene for my little skunks to hang out on. Keeping the card very clean and simple allowed me to showcase my images and sentiment better. I die cut out the sentiment using one of the Oval Stitched Label dies. I made sure to pop up my sentiment and skunks to give my card some dimension. And voila my card was complete. This will be a cute set to use for those quick Valentine’s Day cards.

I mean look how adorable these images are. They are super easy to use for Copics, watercolor markers or pencils. You can totally get creative with this little guys.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop Day 2

February 2, 2019

Hey peeps. It’s Technique Tuesday Blog Hop day 2 and I’m using the Remember When Scrapbooking stamp set. This is a perfect stamp set for cardmaker and scrapbookers alike. It’s super easy to create very graphic cards with it as well as use it for all your scrapbooking needs. The Remember When stamp set is so versatile and I’m sure it will be one you will reach for continuously.

For my card today, I stamped out some colorful blocks using one of the solid images that comes in this stamp set. I used spring like colors to keep my card light and bright. Next I stamped out several of the sentiments in black ink on three of the squares. This left with with lots of white space and it keeps your eye moving across the card with each sentiment. I added just a few matching colored gems to complete the front of the card. I used a piece of black card stock to mat this white panel on and adhered everything to a white card base.

Inside the card I placed a photo of my girlfriends and I. We took this picture back in the summer and I want to give each one of them a copy of it to remind us of the wonderful day we had together.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

February 1, 2019

Hey everyone. Today we are having the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. So many of our talented design team members have projects to share with you today. February products are live today so you can pick up your goodies after hopping through all the blogs. So let’s get started with the Kind Cosmo stamp set.

Remember during the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop you have a chance to win a great prize and you can also make your purchases today. That’s a win-win right? For my card today I used the Kind Cosmo stamp set and matching dies. As you already know, Technique Tuesday features a beautiful floral stamp set everyone. I love the clean and simple lines of this month’s Kind Cosmo stamp.

I stamped my image on watercolor paper and colored it in using distress oxide inks. Next I smooched some distress ink on a piece of watercolor paper in a random print so it gave my flowers a space to land on and it kept the background simple. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Kind Cosmo stamp set on this background piece and layered it over black card stock. I decided to pop my flowers up on foam dots for added dimension.

Hey everyone. I hope you had a chance to swing by the blog hop yesterday. If you didn’t please make sure to do so. You can find the post here. Today I’m sharing the sneak peeks I shared on Instagram last week. For my first card I used the Love Is In The Air stamp set. I think this is the sweetest hot air balloon I have ever seen. I colored it with my Copic markers and added a TON of glitter to the hearts. I paired it with the Sending Love crafting dies. This stamp set and dies make the perfect pair for your Valentine’s Day cards.

For my next card I used the adorable Bobbi The Bear stamp set and coordinating crafting dies. Bobbi is having a jar of sparkly honey. He was also colored with Copic markers. I just LOVE the stare on his face. He’s like I’m caught with my hands in the honey jar. Too adorable. This stamp set also makes fantastic love honey Valentine’s Day cards.

Technique Tuesday January Release Bog Hop

January 1, 2019

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SEASONS GIVING BLOG HOP click the link.

Good morning everyone. Today is Technique Tuesday January 2019 release blog hop. I’m super excited to share my project with you today. We have some amazing projects from the design team for this release. So let’s jump right into it shall we?

For my project toady I used the Narcissus stamp set and coordinating crafting dies. I LOVE coloring simple floral images and this one is perfect for color pencils, watercolors or alcohol markers. I used various shades of cool grey, yellow and green markers for my image. Since these flowers are white with yellow centers I didn’t just want to leave them white without some color to it. That’s when a nice cool or neutral grey marker comes in handy. You can also use a very pale blue or violet to achieve a similar look.

Next I stenciled on a yellow burst onto a piece of Neenah solar white 80 lb card stock and trimmed it down. I backed this piece with black cardstock to help it stand out. I stamped the sentiment onto a flag banner and heat embossed it in white. Adding some small dots using a white gelly roll pen added just a tad bit of texture to the panel. Lastly I popped my flower on some foam tape and added some silver sequin. This panel was added to a white card base.
