  • Cheerful Kitty

    Cheerful Kitty

    My grey kitty is from Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set by Spellbinders. You can find an introduction to the die set in a previous post.

  • Blue Note

    Blue Note

    I dry embossed the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder Field Notes several times with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide.

  • More Gorgeous You

    More Gorgeous You

    First I popped the eye shadow palette up on foam tape at the bottom of the card. Then I aligned the mascara with it on the left and popped it up with more foam tape.

  • Creative House Mouse

    Creative House Mouse

    The creative day sentiment and the cardmaking mouse are just perfect for my crafty giveaway cards!

  • Wedding Copperplate

    Wedding Copperplate

    In this card, the beautiful calligraphy by Paul Antonio takes center stage. I foiled the BetterPress Plate ‘On Your Wedding Day’ in pale blue.

  • Sending Copperplate Love

    Sending Copperplate Love

    I actually gasped when I removed the foil from the background! Light blue foil on vellum in this gorgeous pattern is just stunningly beautiful.

  • Welcome Baby

    Welcome Baby

    I almost created a leaky shaker window. But I caught myself in time.

  • Holiday Envelope

    Holiday Envelope

    I like it because I can place a letter-sized piece of cardstock on my extended plates, plonk the three main envelope dies and then I have all the bits for my envelope in a few seconds.

  • A Slimline Christmas

    A Slimline Christmas

    I had a dual purpose for these cards. I needed to create a card with an old kit or subscription for an Instagram hop and I needed sample cards for my next giveaway.

  • Yeti Anniversary

    Yeti Anniversary

    I created a felt yeti with Rocky, the Dancin’ Yeti for his launch. But I also wanted to color him with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

  • So Very Merry 3

    So Very Merry 3

    On Day 3 of Online Card Classes So Very Merry, Jennifer McGuire showed us how to create Hanukkah cards.

  • Hello Pumpkin!

    Hello Pumpkin!

    The scene I was visualizing needed a frame of some sort. After browsing through my Spellbinders bin, I selected a die set called Essential Arches.

  • Distress Embossing Glaze

    Distress Embossing Glaze

    I designed round labels for all Distress Embossing Glaze colors. Download them here!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Distress Watercolor Pencils

    Distress Watercolor Pencils

    When I got the new Distress Watercolor Pencils, I took them all out of their boxes and rearranged them according to the order on the Ranger web site.

  • 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.

  • Arctic Treat Box

    Arctic Treat Box

    For the box, I’m using a Sizzix die set called Seasonal House Gift Box. It creates a super cute mini milk carton.

  • Stitched Mother’s Day

    Stitched Mother’s Day

    For this card, I used the Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month for April 2024. It’s called Stitched Wall Hanging.

  • Wise Vintage Owl

    Wise Vintage Owl

    To highlight the vintage floral pattern, I used a brayer to add some Lost Shadow Distress Oxide on the raised areas.

  • Color Catalog & Towering Blooms

    Color Catalog & Towering Blooms

    Everything had the same intensity, so nothing was emphasized.

  • Shaped Shaker Card

    Shaped Shaker Card

    Today’s card is a shaped shaker card, so I’m starting with the card base.
