Hey folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun kit from TE! When your loved ones need you the most, you’ll be sure to have just the right card on hand with our beautiful Graceful Ferns Cardmaking Kit. Whether you need to send your condolences right away or reach out with words of encouragement and support after some time has passed, the cards you create with this kit will be perfect for sharing your heartfelt sympathy.


The Graceful Ferns Kit comes in a zippered pouch with a custom sticker and includes:

  • Graceful Ferns stamp set
  • Graceful Ferns Dies
  • The Inside Scoop – Sympathy stamp set
  • Leafy Frond Die
  • A2 Envelope Pack (6 envelopes; 1 each of Jelly Donut, Peapod, Salt Water Taffy, Sugar Cube, Sweet Basil and Toffee)
  • Envelope Seal Pack (6 seals; 2 each of 3 designs)
Limited quantity available

PLEASE NOTE:
The vast majority of the individual items included in our cardmaking kits will not be available to purchase individually in the future. While we may, on rare occasions, release a kit item into our regular inventory at a later time, this will no longer be an option for the majority of the products. Instead, they will remain exclusive to the kits and may only be purchased as part of a kit while supplies last.

Since our curated cardmaking kits can sell out quickly, we encourage you to purchase the kits you love when they are released, as they will not be restocked once they have sold out. We intend to release a kit the last Tuesday of each month at 9am (Central), and a sneak preview will be posted on the TE Blog on the Saturday prior to the release.

To be notified of new kit releases, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram! Stay tuned for another fabulous kit next month.

All my projects this week include Liquid watercolors from TE.

For my first card, I created an ombre background using TE's Plum Punch and Lollipop watercolors. I then stamped the ferns using Lollipop and Plum Punch ink. For the Ferns outline, I heat embossed it in gold and added some paint splatters using Gansai Tambi - Starry colors set. Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment from the kit and the edges using gold embossing powder. 


My second card is super easy to recreate. I first die cut the leafy frond using watercolor paper and then water colored it using Blue Raspberry and Bluecorn watercolors. For some of the edges, I used Gansai Tambi starry watercolors for some extra shine. Then, I cut a small rectangular piece of cardstock and added a light wash using Blue Raspberry on top. I then stamped some ferns using Salt Water Taffy ink and placed the water-colored frond on top using foam. Finished it off by matting it on watercolor paper + Saft Water Taffy cardstock and added a sentiment from the kit!

That's it folks! 

Happy Crafting,

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun release from TE! I know I say this often, but this release is filled with amazing goodies that are just adorable! 


My card is an interactive slider card made using the new On the Track dies and Eggstra Sweet stamps. To make the slider portion of the card, I highly recommend following Taylor's video tutorial posted on Feb 15th. I simply followed the same instructions and just added the critters on top. For the sky, I ink blended Salt Water Taffy with Cookie Monster and for the grass, I ink blended Granny Smith cardstock with Granny Smith and Pea pod ink. For the sentiment, I used Joyful Joyful and Full Circle Easter.


Supply List:


My next card shows you a fun way to use the new Spring Array stamp and stencil set. I first ink blended the floral branch using Granny Smith, Lollipop, Plum Punch, Pineapple, Candy Corn and Sweet Potato Pie inks. Then, I ink blended the edges of an A2 sized cardstock with Peaches and Cream and Pink Champagne inks. I also diecut the cross using At The Cross dies and Peaches and Cream cardstock. I then placed the floral bunch behind the cross. I did cut some of the floral just so that it looks aesthetically pleasing. I finished it off by stamping a sentiment from Joyful Joyful in Lollipop ink :)


Supply List:


My last project is this set of fun Chocolate Square wraps made using the new Treat Wrap - Basket Accessories. I first started off by following the instructions to create the treat wrap. The notches created by the die cut weave pattern are just the perfect size for a 1/4" inch strip if you like to weave! I finished it off by adding a bunch of eggs from Foil it - Good Egg :) 


Supply List:


That's it folks! 

Happy Crafting,

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with something exciting! I have waaay too many stencils and there isn't an easy way to store them. It's all a mess as I store them the same way I store my stamps and dies.... Well, until now! Taylor came to rescue and designed new Simple Storage Stencil Sleeves for 6×6 and Mini Slim stencil sizes along with the new Simple Storage Binders. They also come with Stencil Storage Stickers that you can order to label the stencils that was released in 2019, 2020, and now 2021! I am also using the slimline storage binder to store half finished projects and the 6x6 one for leftover foils! 

Right now through 11:59PM CT Sunday, February 6th, when you buy more, you save more on stencils! Buy any 4 stencils to save 10%, buy 5-8 stencils to save 15%, and buy 9+ stencils to save 20%! This promotion is limited to in stock items and excludes the Create-in-Quads collection. It's a great time to pick up those stencil designs that have been on your wish list and stencils make great gifts for your crafty friends!


For my first card, I used the new mini slimline Tidal stencil to create a fun sea background inspired by the name of the stencil. For the 'land', I ink blended using Candy Corn and Lollipop. For the 'sea', I used Cookie Monster, Blue Raspberry and Blueberry. I cut each of these portions separately and placed them on top of Buttercream cardstock + Toffee cardstock mat. For the sun, I cut a circle using pineapple cardstock and added rays using a yellow color pencil! Finished it off with a sentiment from 'Watt's Up' as it was fitting! 



I finally got a chance to play with my minc laminator with this card! I first applied a layer of glitter grab using the new Chantilly stencil and waited for it to dry completely clear. This is a crucial step! Then, I ran it through my minc using Deco Foil Enchanted Rose foil and trimmed off the bottom at an angle and placed it on another piece of oreo cardstock. For my sentiment, I used the Signature Thanks die and die cut the top of the sentiment using TE's Sticky sheet placed on oreo cardstock. For the backer, I used Oreo cardstock. I then removed the top part of the Sticky sheet and rubbed my left over foil over it so that my 'Thanks' also looks foiled. I then placed the foiled Thanks and backer on top of my foiled base! That's it :) I absolutely love how the foil turned out! 


My next card uses a technique that I have been wanting to try out for a while - Colorblocking! This isn't exactly my style, but I love how This turned out! I first started off by cutting two strips of Candy Corn and Lollipop cardstock. I then ink blended the candy corn cardstock using Sweet Potato ink and Braided Diamond stencil. Then, I cut another strip of Cupcake and Pineapple cardstock and die cut a heart such that the center of the heart die is aligned with the 'meeting point' of the two cardstocks. I also cut a couple of smaller hearts to surround the larger heart :) Then, I die cut a bunch of On Repeat - Birthday and pasted them on the Pineapple side of the heart and cut around the edge of the heart :)

Happy Crafting,
