  • Candy Cane Shaker

    Candy Cane Shaker

    After I was done, I had lots of leftover strips of red, pink and white glitter cardstock. I didn’t want to just recycle it, so I made a shaker card.

  • Empathetic Kittens

    Empathetic Kittens

    I created these cards using Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set and leftover die cuts from recent projects.

  • Berry Best Friend

    Berry Best Friend

    I created a strawberry card with gold accents.

  • Stencil All the Things

    Stencil All the Things

    My idea for this card is to create a floral wreath out of white cardstock and vellum. I’ve seen other designers do that and I always love the results!

  • Birthday Wreath

    Birthday Wreath

    Except for the berries, I cut everything out of colored cardstock at least twice. I also cut the wreath twice out of vellum.

  • Spoopy 💜 Season

    Spoopy 💜 Season

    The first thing I did when I got my influencer haul from Kat Scrappiness, was to play with the black glitter mousse and the Hats & Bats stencil.

  • First Influencer Haul

    First Influencer Haul

    These are the Kat Scrappiness products I bought to serve as a foundation for my fall and winter crafting as an official influencer of the brand.

  • Get Your Skates On

    Get Your Skates On

    The skates are really easy to put together, with no fiddly bits. There’s a base layer, that shows up as the tongue of the boot and part of the heel.

  • This is a Test Card

    This is a Test Card

    I really like when the color of the shaker bits and the frame match. I have a couple of confetti dies, but most of them are no-name brands.

  • Trinity July Haul

    Trinity July Haul

    My haul from Trinity Stamp’s Birthday Sale. I went mostly for Baby and Halloween products this time.

  • Paradise Birthday

    Stamping with white pigment ink and heat embossing in white gives a wonderfully crisp and fresh result.

  • Fintastic Sharks

    Fintastic Sharks

    The shark and friends are from a Lawn Fawn Stamp and Die Set called Shark Duh-Nuh Flip Flop. I colored them with my Distress Watercolor Pencils.

  • Orchid Cupcakes

    Orchid Cupcakes

    The starting point for today’s card was a fall-themed cupcake die set from Spellbinders. It was the Large Die of the Month for September 2023.

  • Summer Lantern

    Summer Lantern

    The inks I chose for my summer sunset blend were Pinkfresh inks in the colors Sunshine, Candy Violet and Stargazer.

  • Watercolor Envelope

    Watercolor Envelope

    To go with my wobbling reindeer card, I’m making an envelope. The envelope dies I use are by Trinity Stamps. It’s a big die set, but you only need three of the dies to create a regular A2 envelope.

  • Spellbinders Scout

    Spellbinders Scout

    When Spellbinders announced their new, small-format die cutting machine, I immediately pre-ordered it. They released a special edition in Lilac Shimmer.

  • Tea-riffic Birthday

    Tea-riffic Birthday

    This is the card I’m creating in today’s video. It has this fun, wobbling effect, created with an action wobbler.

  • Waffle Flower Sneak Peek July

    Waffle Flower Sneak Peek July

    I repeatedly dipped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed it with the same silver as I used on the ornaments.

  • Pinkfresh Side Slider

    Turn the project over and test the Slider by gently tugging on the Tab. The Slider should glide up and down along the slit in the Slitted Panel.

  • Tropical Birthday

    Tropical Birthday

    ‘Things With Wings’ is the theme for my June 2024 YouTube cardmaking video hop. My starting point was the Spellbinders die set Tropical Friends.

  • Jaycee’s Cards

    Jaycee’s Cards

    I was going for a cyanotype effect and used Ranger Archival Ink in the color Cobalt. Archival ink on a firm linen ink pad is pretty easy to work with.

  • Have a Norse Yule

    Have a Norse Yule

    I stamped YULE and the Norse greeting with Versamark and used Lumberjack Plaid Embossing Powder to heat emboss them. Then I cut out the license plate with the die.
