Pretty Pink Post May 2026 release, Hello Dandelions

Hi crafty friends! I'm back today with another card using the May 2026 Pretty Pink Posh release. If you missed my first 2 cards, you can find them on this blog post. The release features cute spring bugs themed (spring bugs, bees, caterpillars, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!

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

STITCHED DANDELIONS, LARGE SHADOW HELLO AND STITCHED ROUNDED RECTANGLES DIES

 

For my card, I was inspired by a garden fairy graphic, she had pale hair with light blue and purple in her wing. 💜💙 So I kept my card soft using a pale blue ink on the Dandelion Background stencil and blue and purple ink to blend on the Stitched Dandelion blooms. And I used white, ivory and pale purple cardstock.

I used the Large Hello Shadow die set for the sentiment and added small pops of sparkle by using glitter cardstock for the flower centers. I love how this turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

Pretty Pink Posh Spring Release, Chick Holder card

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing another cute spring card using products from the Pretty Pink Posh February Spring/Easter release!! 

💖Scroll down for a complete list of supplies💖

My card uses the adorable Chick Holder die set. And Miss Chick is holding a pretty umbrella and sentiment from the Springtime Holder Addons die set. I created the scene with the Stitched Cloud dies, the Raindrop Stencil and the Grass Border die.

To start my card, I chose a light blue piece of cardstock and stenciled on the raindrops. I then die cut clouds and grass and completed the background scene. I added the cute chick and had her holding a floral umbrella and the Hello! Of course I had to add some flowers, so I added a cute flower pot which is also from the Springtime Holder Addons die set. For the final touches, I added a small twine bow and some gems. I love how this turned out!!

Pretty Pink Posh June Release, Seashell Shaker and Fun in the Sun Cards

 Hi crafty friends! I have 2 more cards to share today from the Pretty Pink Posh May release!! AND I'm participating in Day 5 of the Pretty Pink Posh INSTAGRAM HOP!

💖Be sure to head over to my IG and enter to win 💖

Scroll down for a complete list of supplies

For my first card, I used the Summer Words stencil and randomly inked parts with Mermaid Lagoon, Evergreen Bough and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks.

To create the shaker element, I then die cut the Seashell Shaker outline die INTO the stenciled panel. Then I covered the opening with acetate and added 3mm foam strips on the backside, creating a well for the shaker bits. Here is a photo from the backside for illustration.

For my second card, I used the Seashell Background stencil and randomly inked with Abandoned Coral and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Inks. I trimmed a strip across the card front and then added some splatter using the Mermaid Lagoon ink and a size 8 round brush.

 The sentiment is from the Summer Script die and the Sentiment Strips: Summer stamp set. Both cards use die cuts from the Stitched Coral and Stitched Seashells die sets as accents. To create depth for all my die cut accents, I lightly inked the edges with Distress Oxide Inks. I wanted some sparkle, so I added sequins and stickles to the stitched lines in the die cuts. I love how both of these turned out!

Scrapbook.com Christmas in July: Sizzix and Stacey Park release

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com and sharing inspiration for the latest release by Stacey Park for Sizzix. This release features 2 die sets, 4 3D Texture Embossing Folders WITH coordinating stencils, 2 stamp sets with coordinating stencils and more! Most of the release is Christmas themed, but most of it can be used for other occasions.

First up is a mini slimline card that uses the stamp set The View and it's colored with the coordinating stencil The View #2. I should note that this stencil could also work on it's own, especially the trees!

First I stamped the cityscape with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then stenciled them with Distress Oxide inks. I gave them some white splatters with the SBC white Lustre Brush Marker for a little snow and/or stars effect. I stamped the santa sleigh in Versafine Onyx Black (it's pigmented enough to cover the oxide ink blending) and added a simple sentiment strip from one of my favorite quick and easy sentiment strip packs!

 

Next up are 4 cards using the Christmas, Star Bright die set. This die set is pretty cool and once you die cut it with different cardstock, it is easy to inlay mix and matched die cuts to get lots of cards! I started out making one card with greens and silver and another with pinks and gold. But I had SO MANY left overs that I easily made 2 more! 

You'll notice the embossing on the large star pieces, I did this with one of the new 3D texture embossing folders called Shine Bright. I placed the cut pieces around the center to make sure all the pieces had the embossed dotted lines going in the same direction. Here is a visual.

Here are all 4 of my cards.

 

Each uses a Christmas sentiment strip from either Gina K Designs or Paper Rose. I love having sentiment strips they are so easy to cut (or die cut) out and add to any project!

Tim Holtz Vault Watch Gears card

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com and sharing inspiration for the Tim Holtz Vault 2 Everyday release. This release celebrates 15 years of collaboration between Tim Holtz and Sizzix and they brought back 5 die sets reimagined with new sizes!

For my mini slimline card, I used the amazing gear dies from the Vault Watch Gears set #66603. I die cut them from silver mirror, holographic and forest green cardstock and I lightly stenciled the background using the Halftone stencil using Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink. I wish the camera captured the wonderful sparkle of the holographic paper better, in photos it shows up as a blueish color which is misleading.

All of the accent "dots" I used around the gears are the negative pieces from the gears die cuts. I love to save all my die cut bits and pieces to see what I can use as accents! It's a great way to coordinate accents perfectly.

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks for a few more cards using these amazing die sets. In the meantime, be sure to check out the entire release and take advantage of Scrapbook.com's pricing, coupon codes and freebies you get with each order!

The other sets are Vault Boutique, Vault Matchbox, Vault World Travel, Vault Picture Show.

Simple Foliage die cut cards

 Hi everyone! I have 2 fun cards to share using a die set from the Tulip Garden collection by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders. I used the Everyday Foliage die set on these cards, they are essentially the same and were pretty simple to make.

For my cards, I die cut the foliage dies from a piece of patterned paper from the Rainbow Twirl 6x6 pad by Paper Rose. I chose one of the purple/blue/pink "cloudy ink blot" pieces which look beautiful die cut into stems!

I partially stenciled a chevron pattern with Cloud Whip for the background, matted it to dark purple cardstock and added some sequins. Other than drying time, this went together really fast. I've mentioned before, but I keep a huge stash of glimmered sentiments. I glimmer my Hexi-Gems Glimmer Sentiments in a variety of colors and die cut them and keep the stash on my desk to add to my cards easily.

This card is essentially the same, except I kept the background even more simple with black splatter instead of stenciling. I matted it to black cardstock, added some sequins and chose a black sentiment.

 Tulip Garden collection by Simon Hurley

Everyday Foliage die set

Paper Rose Rainbow Twirl 2.0 6x6 pad

Spellbinders | February Stencil of the month club

Hi everyone! Its February 4th and that means the reveal of Spellbinders Club Kits is here! Today I'll be sharing inspiration for the Stencil of the Month club. I'm heading out of town a few days, so stay tuned later for cards using the Wax Seal of the Month and Small Die of the Month club kits.

This month Spellbinders did something a little different with the stencils and instead of layering stencils, the 4 stencils are all stand alone backgrounds! And they are beautiful!

Club subscription info:  

The new subscription sign up window is from the 6th to the 27th.  After existing club members subscriptions have been processed, any inventory remaining will be available for new subscriptions. Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month, which means existing Club Members will be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month.

 

STENCIL OF THE MONTH

 

My card uses the Stencil of the Month, called Spring Stencil Backgrounds. Each of the 4 backgrounds have a floral theme and are perfect for ink blending or with paste. I used the gorgeous Paper Glitz in the color Pink Prom Night in my stencil to create this super sparkly background.

I wanted to let the beautiful stencil to be seen, so I added some flowers in the center circle area. I used the beautiful Vintage Florals die set and chose cardstock that matched the Pink Prom Night and sponged a darker color pink to some of the edges to help the layers pop. Lastly I added a few black gems for the finishing touches.

If you like these 4 floral background stencils, be sure to sign upon February 6th. The cost is $14 and shipping is included. It's a great deal for these 4 designs! I have a feeling this will be a popular one.

Heart stenciled background LOVE gnome card

 Hi everyone! I have a fun card to share. I don't use background stencils often, but when I first saw this adorable Heart Patterns stencil I just had to have it! Well, it sat on my desk for 3 months and I finally took the time to ink it up. It's as cute as I thought it would be!!

HEART PATTERNS STENCIL, LOVE DIE, LOVE GNOMES STAMP SET
 

 I used Kitch Flamingo Distress Oxide on the first layer of the hearts and Lumberjack Plaid for the second "heart accents" layer. Then I went back over the second layer with some Stickles Moon Dust Glitter Gel on the striped heart parts only. I taped off the other heart accent details using some low tack Mint Tape.

Next I die cut the mini LOVE die 8 times with red cardstock so I could build it up deep enough to put a few shaker elements in the O. I could have used foam tape, but it was such a small curved area that I opted for the multiple die cuts. This LOVE die was a FREEBIE on one of my last orders to Scrapbook.com. Don't sleep on those freebies, sometimes I hold my order if I don't like/need the freebies to see what the next freebies are!

I thought the card could use a little something else, so I pulled out my Love Gnomes stamp set and added the cutie.

Gina K Designs October 2023 release - 2 card designs

Hi everyone! Tonight is Gina K Design's October release and I'm excited to share a 2 cards using the Wishful Roses stamp and die set. You all know I love Roses, they are my favorite flower and named my blog after them. This gorgeous set features 3 roses that have the outline and 2 layered stamps for easy coloring. It has 7 sentiments in a lovely font!

Be sure to check out the What's New Section for ALL the new stamps, dies, stencils and other goodies released tonight.

 

First up is a mini slimline card with the roses stamped in the Light and Dark Orchid inks. I absolutely LOVE the bright purples of these inks. I added some copic marker at the base of the petals to get a deeper purple color. The leaves are stamped in Lucky Clover.

I used the slimline dies from Master Layouts 7 and did some light partial stenciling for the background. The stencil is part of the Bodacious Blooms stencil set and I used it with Light Spruce ink. 

For my next card, I used peach and coral colors for my roses. I used the Sassy Stripes stencil, turned 90 degrees and lightly stenciled the right edge with Peach Bellini ink. I love the subtle effect it has and tied in with the colors in the roses. I added some black paint splatters and adhered the roses to the lower right side. I added some coral and peach sequins for some extra sparkle.

Scrapbook.com Cloud Whip Parade - 2 Christmas card designs

 Hi everyone! I have a fun post today. I am participating in the Scrapbook.com Cloud Whip Parade! Cloud Whip is a BASE for your projects to use with stencils or on it's own. While it may seem dry or hard, that's the way it should be! That way you can add mediums to it and get the consistency you want for your project. You can add water, Pops of Color, Reinkers, liquid watercolor, and much more! It's completely customizable so that you can create the color you want.

 

Cloud Whip comes in a 12oz jar and a 2oz jar. After working with it for 3 cards (stay tuned for the 3rd) I can honestly say I like it better than modeling paste to use with stencils. The texture is kind of thick and light if that makes sense. When you stir it up, it turns into a light creamy texture. I found it easy to spread around and scrap off stencils!

Check out my cards.

First up is a simple Christmas tree card. The trees are from the Christmas Trees stamp and die sets and I love the whimsical feel of these trees. The stamp set gives you options to build your trees, even making them into little people (not my thing, but super cute!). The ornaments are made with Pops of Color in 3 colors.

 I colored the Cloud Whip with Raspberry Fizz Pops of Color and since I only wanted a HINT of pink, I didn't add very much. Here is a visual of how I stenciled the Cloud Whip strips behind the trees.

 Next up is a super clean and simple card using the same stencil. For this card I used some of the longer branch dies from the Autumn Foliage die set cut in vellum and 2 shades of green cardstock. I used the circles pattern strip on the stencil and kept the Cloud Whip pure white. Another bow die cut from the Bow Toppers die set tops off the stem die cuts perfectly!

You can get a 2oz jar of Cloud Whip as a freebie with your Scrapbook.com purchase!
