Diamond Tiles

August 29, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Diamond Tiles die set. This is one of my favorite die sets for several reasons. The first being that my daughter, Alex, designed this die set years ago and of course they lend themselves perfectly to my geometric loving heart. I used several shades of solid colored cardstock and pieced them together to create this fun pattern.

For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Reverse Birthday Sentiment Strips with the Sentiment Label dies.

There really is no end to the designs you can create with these dies. I find so much inspiration from quilt makers for these dies. Thanks so much for stopping by!

DieCember® Release Blog Hop

December 3, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their DieCember® release blog hop. You can check out the awesome, new release HERE!

SSS-Diamond Tiles, CZ Hugs, Hello & Reverse Christmas

I have three projects to share today featuring the Diamond Tiles die set. This set is close to my heart because my oldest daughter, Alex, designed it. I coordinates well with her previously released Good Vibes stamp set.

For my first card I simply die cut several colors of solid colored cardstock using one of the smaller diamond dies. For the sentiment I used the CZ Hello die set with white & slate cardstock.

This second card features one of the middle diamond dies. For each die I used a darker & lighter shade of cardstock. The two colors together create a cool 3D look.

For the sentiment I used the CZ Hugs die with vellum and gold foil cardstock.

My third card uses the leftover diamonds that came out the second card die cuts. That’s what you call being thrift & nifty:)

For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strips.

Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Pinkfresh Studio February 2020 Background Stamp Release Blog Hop

February 17, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their Background Stamp Blog Hop. I have a couple of projects to share using two of these gorgeous new background cling stamp.

Pinkfresh Studio-Floral Shadow, Simple Blossoms, Diamond Tiles, Frame Builder: Botanical rectangles, Sentiment Suite: Hello

My first card features the Floral Shadow Stamp. I inked it up with Misty Coast & Rocky Slope ink for a subtle gradient gray backdrop.

Pinkfresh Studio-Floral Shadow, Simple Blossoms

I used the Simple Blossoms stamp set and coordinating dies for the blooms. For the sentiment I used the Layered Bouquet stamp set.

This next card uses the Diamond Tiles background stamp. I embossed it is clear onto white cardstock and blended several Pinkfresh Studio inks to add the color.
