Pretty Pink Posh June 2025 Release, You Are Spe-shell

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their June release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days, the theme of the release is Beach, Seashells and Coral!

💥The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.💥

This pretty wreath card uses a combination of the Seashell Wreath Stamp Set, Seashells Stamp set and the Seashells die sets. 

The seashell images in both stamp sets are the same with different sizes, so I thought they would be perfect to layer together! I stamped the wreath directly on my card base and stamped and die cut 4 of the larger seashells and added them as accents to the wreath. I colored the images with Copics and added some pink gems and twine for added texture. I love how this turned out!

 

Stay tuned for more inspiration over the next few weeks, including an Instagram hop which will have prizes up for grabs!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Spellbinders: Sealed 3D Botanical collection

 Hi everyone! Spellbinders has released a new collection called Sealed 3D Botanical Collection and it is full of really cool dies, wax seal stamps and 3D embossing folders. It features three brand new Label shapes, two 3D Emboss and Cut folders and two 3D wax seal stamps - the first of their kind!!! The details on these wax seal stamps are stunning!

My card uses one of the new 3D emboss and cut folders called Mushrooms From Me to You and coordinating new Labels shape called Scallop Labels and Tag die set.

MUSHROOMS FROM ME TO YOU 3D EMBOSS AND CUT FOLDER

If you haven't seen how the new Emboss and Cut folders work, here is a photo to give you a visual. You place your cardstock in the folder, the die nests in the groove with the cut side facing your cardstock. Close the folder and run it through your machine with the normal 3D folder sandwich.

It doesn't cut the folder, only the cardstock and you end up with 3 gorgeous 3D embossed and cut pieces. 😍

I colored the embossed image with copic markers and then gave it a layer of shine with my Glitter Brush Markers. I added some layers with some die cut panels and added some strips of patterned and glitter paper. A few gold pearl accents was all those pretty little flowers needed to give them some extra sparkle.

Spellbinders | May 2023 Embossing folder, Topsy Turvy cake card

Hi everyone! I have a fun card to share today. This one uses the Spellbinders May Embossing Folder of the Month called Candles for Every Birthday. This folder is a repeated pattern of birthday candles and is pretty cute. Check out what I made.

For my cake I used the adorable Topsy Turvy Cake die set using the top 3 cake tiers. I thought the wonky feel of the candles really complimented the cake. I used flowers from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs die set. I colored the cake and flowers with Copics and used the lightest color on the candles in the background. I love how it all came together.

Supplies used on this card:

Spellbinders May Embossing Folder of the Month (Candles for Every Birthday)

Gina K Designs | May 2023 release Birds and Magnolias

 Hi everyone! Tonight is Gina K Design's May release and I'm excited to share a card using the Birds and Magnolias stamp and die sets. This set is designed by Hanna and features 2 beautiful birds on magnolia branches, several loose magnolia blooms and several sentiments. I really love this set!

Be sure to check out the What's New section to see ALL the fabulous stamp and die sets released, including a new bundle called Create Friendship!!

I colored the bird after the House Finch. I have TONS of house finches that visit my feeders everyday and I am in awe of the bright red/orange feathers of the male. These little guys are just so fun to watch. It is hard to color the texture of feathers, so I chose to color him with short flicks of my copics and I think it turned out pretty good. I colored my magnolia blooms a very pale purple/pink colors and I just love how they bounce off of the reds and browns of my finch.

For an added bit of texture, I put a piece of white cardstock embossed with the Swiss Dot folder behind the circle openings.

It's hard to see in the photos, but I added some Stickles along the inner circle and on the base of each magnolia bloom. I just love the extra sparkle they give. I have a couple seconds of video over on my Instagram post you can check out if you want to see all the sparkle in action.

Supplies used on this card:

Birds and Magnolias stamp set

Birds and Magnolias die set

Master Layouts 2 die set

Stenciled background card ideas

Hi everyone! I am playing around with stencils for an online stencil class I am taking and here are a couple cards I've made with the backgrounds.

First up is a simple stenciled background using the Twinkle stencil by Spellbinders. I used 3 colors and when they over lap each other you end up with 5 colors. I used a pink, blue and green -I blended the pink at the top, blue in the center and green along the bottom. When they mix with each other there is a gorgeous purple and teal color that appears.

The daisies and butterfly is from the new Stampendous Hello Butterfly stamp set which is part of the spring 2023 collection. I colored them with copic markers and fussy cut. I didn't want to cover too much of the background, so I added slim profile sentiments from the Wonderful Script Sentiment die set.

Next up is a pretty background make with the Gina K Designs stencil called Snowflake Mandala. Once again I used 3 colors of ink -teal, yellow and pink. After I stenciled the colors, I used a thin layer of gel medium mixed with Sparkle Dust glitter. The gel is almost clear, so the ink shows through only slightly muted. The result is so pretty!

Supplies used on these cards:

 Twinkle stencil

Snowflake Mandala stencil

  Hello Butterfly stamp set

Wonderful Script Sentiment die set

Hello, Friend Sentiments Glimmer (for the "friend" and "you are")

Gina K Inks in Medium Orchid, Powder Blue, Lucky Clover (Daisy card)

Turquoise Sea, Sweet Corn, Bubblegum Pink (Mandala card)

Sweet Day Flowers colored two ways

 Hi everyone! There's a Spellbinders Instagram hop going on now that showcases the Four Petal Collection and I'm excited to be part of it! If you have IG, head on over to my post and I give all the details including some prizes and the hop order full of inspiration!

It's been a minute since I did some coloring, so I was inspired to color the beautiful Four Petals Sweet Day Flowers stamp set flower cluster in 2 ways! I used my go-to Copics for one version and then pulled out my much neglected Karin markers for the other. Check out what I made.

Funny story and hope you all can relate. When I was photographing the cards, I planned on staging each with the coloring markers that I used. Well, I must have been distracted or something, but I GOT THEM SWITCHED! Oy. So when you look at the cards, they are actually colored with the other medium. I can't believe I didn't notice it until the hop went live. So rather than retaking the photos and fixing it, I am sharing them all kinds of wrong and all! lol!

Here is the Copic Marker colored version:

Here is the Karin marker version colored on heat embossed image:

The stamp set is designed to coordinate and fit perfectly in the Essential Four Petal Labels. The background is made using the Candy Stripes Card Front die. I took some of the negative pieces and lightly ink blended with a coordinating color and then painted a few others with a champagne shimmer watercolor.

Supplies used on both cards:

Spellbinders Four Petal Sweet Day Flowers stamp set

Spellbinders Essential Four Petal Labels die set

Spellbinders Candy Stripes Card Front die set

Spellbinders Gold Essential gems

Spellbinders cardstock: Purple Mist, Teal Topaz and White

Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry watercolor set

Spellbinders Poinsettia 3D embossing folder

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a card I made using the new Scenic Poinsettias 3D embossing folder from  Spellbinders. I LOVE poinsettias. They are right up there with snowmen for my favorite Christmas decor and using on cards. This month, Spellbinders came out with a 3D folder with poinsettias and I think it may be my favorite embossing folder ever. Check it out.

Products used on this card:

Scenic Poinsettias 3D embossing folder

Holiday Label Motifs (holly berry base and leaves)

Christmas Mix & Match Sentiments

Red Mix essential gems

A-2 Matting Basics A and B 

There are so many possibilities with this folder, but for my first card I decided to color in the design with copic markers. STUNNING. Sadly, in photos it's hard to see all the gorgeous embossed details, so I took a few photos and I hope the details comes through.

I didn't want a sentiment to detract from the gorgeous pattern and my coloring, so I adhered the sentiment and a small bit of holly berries and leaves from the Holiday Label Motifs die set on to vellum. I added a few of the Red Mix essential gems for a bit of sparkle. I die cut my panels with the A-2 Matting Basics A and B die sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Glimmering Peony friend card

Hi everyone! This is my first time coloring a foiled image and through a bit of trial and error, I discovered Hammermill (my cardstock of choice to foil on) is copic friendly (Zig markers, not so much)!!

Once the peonies were colored, this card came together pretty quickly! I tend to do my foiling in batches and keep them all organized in my space. It was easy to pick a few elements, add 2 small strips of paper and some gems and done!

 

Here are the foiling plate sets I used on this card: 

Glimmering Peony

Duo Lines Glimmer Rectangle

Special Sentiments Glimmer

Gold Foil roll

 

For color inspiration, I found this gorgeous peony bridal bouquet!

Gina K Designs February release

Hi everyone! Tonight is the February release for Gina K Designs and I am SO EXCITED to share a few projects using the new set - One Day At a Time illustrated by the talented Lisa Hetrick. This set has 2 pear images, 1 background maker and a variety of leaf and branches.

There are many other fabulous stamp and die sets in this release, so be sure to check them all out!!

Both my cards are mini slimline sized using Gina's Master Layouts 7 die set. One card focuses on the large pear and the second on the branch and pear blossoms.

For this card, I used copic markers to color the large pear, leaves and blossoms and used the background stamp repeatedly in soft gray to create a subtle backdrop.

For my second card, I colored the branch and blossoms with my Zig Real brush markers. I don't use them enough and they are so quick and easy to use. To make the cards coordinate, I used the same background stamp and ink to make the backdrop.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening. Here are a few close up pics.

Gina K Designs January release

 Hi everyone! Tonight is the January release for Gina K Designs and I am SO EXCITED to share a few projects using the 2 new sets - Love Hearts and Sealed with a Kiss. There are many other fabulous stamp and die sets in this release, so be sure to check them all out!!

First up I have a couple cards using the Love Hearts stamp set stamp and Love Hearts die set. This is designed by Beth Silaika and has 9 heart patterns, a heart border and trio and 9 sentiments! So cute and versatile. This first card is pretty simple, for the bottom half I scored a piece of Cherry Red cardstock every 1/4" and added a piece of ribbon and some gold cord. I stamped the sentiment and 3 hearts in Cherry Red and added some gold gem accents.

I made 2 mini slimline cards using the Master Layout 7 dies and Heavy weight white and Bubblegum Pink cardstock. One of the cards I die cut the hearts into the front panel and with all my left over hearts I put together the second one using the same layout but popped up on top.

Ink colors used: Bubblegum Pink, Ocean Mist, Passionate Pink, Applemint and Wild Dandelion

Next up are a couple cards from the Sealed with a Kiss stamp set and Sealed with a Kiss coordinating die set. This was designed by Debrah Warner and has 7 heart related images and 16 sentiments! Perfect assortment to take you through the year of love related occasions.

This first card uses one of the tiny hearts stamped in an ombre order with a simple piece of ribbon and twine and paper pieced sentiment.

Colors used: Cherry Red, Passionate Pink, Bubblegum Pink

And lastly I used the gorgeous heart and flower image, colored with copics and layered it over a card base stamped with the solid heart in clear pigment ink. A touch of patterned paper at the bottom with some silver cord and pearls complete the sweet look!

Merry Christmas Cardinal

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using the newly released set from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps called, God Will Take Care of You. I combined the beautiful cardinal image with a sentiment from the set, Jesus.

I created the wreath the cardinal sits in by die cutting several circle rings from white, green and gold mirror cardstock. At the bottom I added sprigs from the same papers die cut from the Two Sprigs die set. I added a double bow from some 1/4" silk ribbon in red using the Bow Easy template.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Stamp Simply Poinsettia card

 Hi everyone! I've had quite a challenging last week, so I am behind in posting some of the projects I've made. Here is a Christmas card using Stamp Simply Clear Stamps Floral Cluster Winter Poinsettia set. It's one of my favorite Christmas sets they have!

I colored the poinsettia with copics and used a few die cut frames I had in my stash for the background. The poinsettia in the bottom corner is fussy cut from the larger one. With all the layers, you can get 3 sizes of flowers with some fussy cutting! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Starting on Fall cards!

Hi everyone! OK many of you crafters have already started on your fall projects even on to Christmas! But over here in the Woerner household we're preparing for our summer vacation and school doesn't start until September 9th! All of which is to say, I want to savor every day of summer and I try to hold off on Fall projects as long as I can. But these new fall stamp sets are the cutest and I had to dive in!

First up is a card using the adorable Sweet 'n Sassy set called Fall Breeze. This is my first purchase to Sweet 'n Sassy and it won't be my last because they announced a collaboration with one of my FAVORITE stamp designers, Julee Tillman (yes, Julee of Verve!). This set was illustrated by Julee and is under the new name of J Tillman Designs. So happy for Julee and excited to see more stamp sets!

I went old school with this one and used some Scalloped Circle dies from Spellbinders and a small piece of burlap that I got at the Dollar Tree. Adds the perfect amount of fall texture don't you think? I colored the pumpkin with copics and added a bit of Sakura sparkle gel pen to the star and trails.

Next up is from the new fall stamp set from Gina K. This one is called Absolutely Autumn. I mean aren't those leaves adorable?!? I made it a mini slimline card using dies from Gina's Master Layouts 7 die set. I kinda like the mini slimline size and I love how they fit into a regular business envelope that you can find at the Dollar Tree or any office supply store!

I colored the leaves with my Zig markers and matched them to the small piece of patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Here are a couple close up photos.

Copic colored Caring Flowers

Hi everyone! When I saw this gorgeous floral spray image from the Caring Flowers stamp set by Gina K Designs, I just had to have it! It is stunning and the sentiments in this set are unique and meaningful. I have been seeing gorgeous blue flowers all over Pinterest, so I went with the inspiration and used blue hues to color these. I added touches of white gel pen to the centers for a crisp contrast.

I kept in the blue tone family and colored the accent flowers with a purple combination. I just love how this turned out and I can see it colored in a million other ways. 

The cover plate die I used is part of Pink Fresh Studio's Essentials line, Diagonal Stitched Rectangles. I pretty much use it on every card!

The gems were purchased in bulk from Etsy and here is a pic of me sorting them by color family, cause a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! Now they are all neatly organized and easy to sort through for every project.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Simple CAS card, watercolored roses and a bonus tip for hand drawn frames!

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing another card using the newly released Always Delightful stamp set from Gina K. This one is super CAS with some light copic coloring and a hand drawn frame. I got a few questions about how I made the frame, I used the Sakura Pigma Micron 05 pen in black (this is also copic friendly) and a ruler. Easy peasy! 

One tip I have when using a ruler to make lines, wipe the ruler with a baby wipe (or damp paper towel) after each line. The ink from the pen can transfer to the ruler and you can accidentally mark up your cardstock when moving it around.

Next up is a lovely rose image from Gina K's Peaceful Rose mini stamp set. I love these roses because they are a perfect blend of realistic and whimsy.

I colored these beauties with my MeiLiang Watercolor paint set (from Amazon). And the woodgrain paper is from the Wood Texture 6x6 pad from Craft Consortium and is a MUST have! There are patterns in a variety of colors and patterns, you can find something for any project! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Here are a few close up pictures.
