Hello friends and welcome! Today, I am sharing this adorable box card, filled with the cutest cats from My Favorite Things. This set is called Cool Cat and it is available on both MFT and Scrapbookpal.com .  I first assembled the box in white cardstock. For the inserts, I ink blended them with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink before gluing it onto the sides of the box. The back panel is ink blended with Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks.  Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut the images from the Cool Cat stamp set. I used the following colors: Cats - E43/41/40, E53/51/50, W5/3/1/00 Purple - V15/12/00 Red - R24/22/20 I glued the images onto the inserts of the card and added a sentiment on the front panel. And that's all for this card. I hope that you like today's card share! Have a great day!

Hello, crafty friends! Today I am here with a Happy Fall box card that would be so sweet to give to a loved one. For this sunflower-theme card, I used a few PPP stamps. Let’s get started! I first assembled the box card from My Favorite Things in white cardstock. For the panels, I stenciled through the Layered Sunflower Stencils using Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, and Mustard Seed. For the grassy inserts, I ink blended them with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the following images: Cat - Pumpkin Patch Critters Acorn, Small Sunflower - Fall Envelopes Sunflower plants - Potted Sunflowers I then adhered the images onto the box. For the sentiment, I stamped Happy Fall onto the front panel of the box card.  That’s all for this Fall box card. I hope that you like today’s card share and that you’ll create some cards for your family and friends. Have a great day!

Hello, crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a Thank you card with an autumn feel to it. I used the new Fall Tree die and then added some images from a previously-released stamp set, Pumpkin Patch Critters . Let’s start! I first cut an A2 sized white cardstock and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber , Spiced Marmalade , and Abandoned Coral . I splattered acrylic paint in black, gold, and white. Once dry, I cut the panel with the Stitched Notes die. I adhered the border directly onto a card base and foam mounted the center on the card base.  Next, I worked on the Fall Tree die. I ink blended Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks onto a piece of scrap paper and then cut the leaves from it. I ink blended Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink onto another piece of scrap paper and used it to cut the trunk of the tree. I glued the trunk and leaves onto the card panel. I then stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Pumpkin Patch...

Hello friends! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card using a combination of newly released and previously released stamps from Mama Elephant. For this card, I first cut a panel using the Magic Snow Cover Die in white cardstock. I then ink blended the panel with Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose. I splattered some white acrylic paint for added interest. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the Oh Friendship Tree and Hot Cocoa stamp sets. I also white heat embossed the sentiments on strips of black cardstock. The sentiments are from the Easy Xmas Greetings stamp. I foam mounted the images and sentiment strips onto the card panel and adhered the panel onto an A2-sized card base.     

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh September Release Blog Hop!!  For my card, I decided to make a square-shaped card featuring the new Fall Envelopes Stamp Set plus a couple of previously-released stamp sets.   I first made a background by stenciling through the L ayered Sunflower Stencils using Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, Mustard Seed, and Peeled Paint. I layered this panel onto a 4.75” square patterned paper (trying to use up my stash 😉). I also used the ornate die to cut some vellum which I adhered on top of the stencilled panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from Fall Envelopes , Pumpkin Patch Critters , and Fall Circles .  Envelope - E41/40 Greens - YG67/63/61 Mouse - W5/3/1 Pumpkins - YR18/16/14 Sunflowers - E49/47/44, Y18/15/13 Violet - V17 I then adhered all the images down and glued the panel onto a square card base. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you like my cards and that I've ...

Hello, crafty friends!  I have made 3 Christmas cards using products from the new Tinsel Time Collection .  My first card features the Holiday Express cutting dies. I cut the dies in a variety of colored cardstock from Spellbinders. I had so much fun putting this train together. The sentiment is gold heat embossed on a strip of white cardstock. It is from the Dancin’ Holiday Sentiments . For the card panel, I cut down a patterned paper from the Joyful Christmas Paper Pad to 3” x 6”. I then layered it with the Wild Berry cardstock before adhering it to a 3.25” x 6.25” card base.  The second card features the Dancin’ St. Nick cutting dies. I used all  colored cardstocks from Spellbinders, except for the gold cardstock  which is from the big box craft store. I love that Santa’s legs swing back  and forth. This is optional, but it is more fun to have swinging legs and it  is also easy to achieve. Simply cut down a sma...
