Pretty Pink Posh 2025 September Holiday release

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their September Holiday release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days showcasing cute Holiday themed stamps, dies and stencil sets!!

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

My background uses the new Argyle Pierced Cover Plate die which I cut it with white cardstock and adhered it to a red card base. I love that the red peeks through the pierced patterns. The gorgeous bells are from the Christmas Bells Shaker die set and I die cut it with Matte Silver and White cardstock. I wanted the boy to pop, so I die cut it with 3 different colors (silver, red, white)! For a bit of greenery, I added some foliage and holly berries from the Winter Foliage die set.

 The sentiments are from the new Christmas Bells stamp set which I heat embossed with white on black and die cut the "Merry" with the coordinating Christmas Bells die set. I added lots of sparkle and bling by die cutting the holly berries with red glitter cardstock and adding lots of Iridescent clear drops. 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!

CRAFT-A-FLOWER: SULFUR COSMOS DIE SET

My card uses the gorgeous Sulfer Cosmos die set which is part of their Craft-A-Flower series. I looked up Sulfer Cosmo flowers and found out they are rich yellows, oranges and red colors. They are stunning!

I die cut the flowers and leaves from Bristol Smooth cardstock and ink blended colors on them. After I inked the petals and assembled the flowers, I used glitter brush markers to give a rich shimmer and dimension to them. I also added shimmer to the sentiment and leaves.

The background is the Circle Quilt Cover die cut from black cardstock adhered to a black card base.

I don't make cards with black backgrounds often, but I love how this turned out!

Altenew September 2025 release, Aspen Sky

Hi crafty friends! Today is the September release day over at Altenew and I have a fun card featuring one of the layering stencils. This entire release is stunning and you should check it all out!

This layering stencil is called Stencil Art: Aspen Sky and it is stunning! The stencil set has 6 stencils and stencil #4 has 2 stenciling images on it, so really there are 7 layers. There is SO much detail with this!

I went with non-traditional fall colors for my tree and used my Enchanted Garden purple ink quad and I think it came out stunning. Their ink quad have colors from lightest to darkest, so using the inks with the stencil was a breeze! For the sky, I kept it traditional blues using the Lapis Luzuli blue ink quad. As always I use Bristol Smooth cardstock as I am guaranteed amazing results with ink blending.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Sentiment die set and I cut it 3 times in a chocolate brown cardstock to bring out the dark tones of the tree trunk.
What do you think? Are you a fan of layering stencils?

Simple flower slimline card

Hi crafty friends! Today I am sharing a simple mini slimline flower card featuring the beautiful Simple Floral Bundle die set by Poppystamps.

I wanted to keep my card mostly white on white, so I die cut my flowers and sprigs and then lightly colored them with Zig markers. I first added some water to the die cut along the cut lines in the petals and then went in with a light touch of color. I used Bristol Smooth cardstock as this is watercolor marker friendly!

Before I adhered my flowers and sprigs I added some splatter using the Smokey Olive Zig marker.

I love how this turned out.
