Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on My Favorite Things YouTube channel featuring the More Brilliant Butterflies stamps & coordinating Die-namics set.
I stamped the butterfly wing with My Favorite Things inks and embossed the detail wings using Liquid Platinum embossing powder. For the sentiment I used the Bitty Hugs & Kisses set. You can check out the video HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the beautiful Friendly Flowers stamp set included in the April Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
To begin I embossed the large floral swag in clear onto white cardstock. I blended distress ink in Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon for the color. I added a little bit of Candied Apple to the centers of the flowers to make them pop. These small detail brushes work so good for this.
I stamped the sentiment & striped border image also from Friendly Flowers and flicked on some black soot onto the panel.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more beautiful inspiration using the latest Friendly Flowers card kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there & Happy St. Patricks Day! Popping in to share a festive St. Patrick’s Day project using some products from Simon Says Stamp.
For the background I used the Clover Stencil masking off each clover and blending with distress inks.
I used the Leprechaun die with solid colored cardstock. I added a few shadows to the Leprechaun using Copic markers and added a sentiment strips from the Reverse Lucky Sentiment Strips.
Wishing you the luck of the Irish today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m joining Waffle Flower to celebrate their 7th birthday with a blog hop! Since we are celebrating 7 years, we are featuring our 7 favorite Waffle Flower products. My first favorite product are the Media Mats: full size & mini. I have used these things so many times. You can scruntch them up into a suitcase and they never wrinkle or loose their shape. The are perfect to use with all sorts of wet media.
My next favorite are these fun stencils. I love the idea of a rotating stencil and these are three of my faves: the Infinite Triangles, Rings Builder and Infinite Petals Stencils.
My next favorite Waffle Flower products are the Paper Pads. Ofcourse you know I love JJ’s Rainbow pad, but I also love the Half-Half Dots & Lines pads, too. The colors are so happy and the weight of the cardstock is sturdy.
Next up is the Color Combo die set. This is perfect for swatching out your inks or cardstocks, but I love to use them to create geometric designs.
Next is the Big Dots Combo set. I love a good dots die and the Big Dots Sentiment set is probably one of my most used Waffle Flower stamp sets to date. Classic font and useable sentiments.
Next is the Fresh Rainbow Combo set. This rainbow die gives me life and pairs perfectly with JJ’s Rainbow paper pack. The sentiment are perfect as well with a great mixture of fonts.
My last favorite product is the Oversized Hope combo. I love this big hope die and the sentiment set gives it many uses for various occasions. I think hope is always a fabulous sentiment to send.
I created a couple of projects using a few of my favorite products.
For both of these cards I used the Color Combo die with Half-Half Lines paper packs.
I used a mixture of the Enchanted, Unicorn & Christmas Half-Half paper packs for this happy color combo.
For the sentiment on both cards I used the Big Dots sentiment set.
I embossed both sentiments in white onto black cardstock.

Hi there! Today I’m over on the My Favorite Things YouTube channel featuring some rainbow stitching or “faux” stitching. I started with the Cross-Stitch Rectangle Die-namics to create my stitching panel. For the sentiment I used the Little Birthday Notes.
I was inspired by the beautiful threading designs of Aheba Williamson. She creates amazing thread designs on card, and I wanted to try something similar with all of this floss that I seem to keep hoarding. You can check out my video HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing this colorful project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Mix & Match Stencil & Stamp set. The sentiment is from the Greetings Mix 2 Stamp set.

Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for their Storybook Fantasy Blog Hop! If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the Altenew Card Blog.
I’ve created two projects featuring some of the gorgeous new products. My first card uses the Book Engravings Stencil, Stamp & Die Sets.
These blooms are drop dead gorgeous and so incredibly effortless to create. To begin I used the Book Engravings Stencil to blend the base blooms & leaves. I didn’t stamp the outline of the images, but I stamped the added detail images using darker shades of each base. For the sentiment I used the Sentiments & Quotes stamp set.
This next card features the Hill Blossoms Layering Stencil Set.
Such a simple little stem, but yet so detailed using Sweet Leaf for the stem and Pink Pearl & Heart Beat for the blooms. The sentiment is also from the Sentiments & Quotes set.

Hi there! Today I’m joining Pretty Pink Posh for Day 2 of their March release blog hop.
I’ve created two projects using these gorgeous new products. My first card uses the Floral Corners stamp set. I embossed the floral images in clear and blended distress inks for color. I also added a few flicks of added detail using Copic markers.
For the sentiment I used the Mom/Mother Script dies. I stacked a few up in white cardstock and added gold foil on the top. To finish it off I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins for embellishment.
This next card uses the Pretty Petals Background die. I blended a panel with the same distress inks, adding a few flicks of water, white ink and distress inks. Then I die cut the Pretty Petals Background out of white cardstock as well as the blended panel. I adhered the white panel including all of the inner pieces to a card base and then adhered just the inner pieces from the blended panel on top for a slight bit of dimension.
For the sentiment I used the Fancy Easter Script dies with gold foil cardstock and adhered it over a vellum circle die cut.
