Supply List:

My next card is colorful and can be used for any occasion! I used the 'You Did It' die to diecut a striped paper background. I used my usual go to colors for rainbows - Lollipop, Candy Corn, Pineapple, Granny Smith and Cookie Monster. I layered it on top of another Sugar Cube diecut so that it looks like a drop shadow. Added this to a Plum Punch base with some additional mini strips sentiments to finish it off (Again - I realized I used some leftover mini strips from a sold-out Kit. So Sorry! Feel free to use any of the gazillion strip sentiments Taylor has in store :)).

Supply List:

My last card uses one of everyone's favorite line of products - Quad Stencils! The new Hooray themed quad stencils are just as stunning as the previous ones and can be used for any occasion... not just Graduation! I used some preprinted Foil It cards as a card base. Just line the edge of the foil it card with the etched line on the stencil and you are done! Or if you are laze like me, tape all 4 cards together and you will get one 'large sheet' that can be used to stencil at once. I used 4 different popular school colors for these cards - Honey, Blueberry, Poblano Pepper and Mulled Wine. I stenciled the cards using the 4 colors along with Oreo and some gold Happy Medium Glitter. Mat it on some coordinating cardstock and you are done!

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun project using the new TE Kit that is absolutely fun-tastic! You’ll have everything you need to commemorate all the special occasions in life with our exclusive Celebrate You Cardmaking Kit! From anniversaries, birthdays and retirements to making the grade, earning a spot on the team or achieving something big, show them just how special they are with a card that celebrates that big accomplishment!

My next card is another easy shaker card! I created a rainbow striped background using my usual go to colors for rainbow and Easy Strip dies. Then, I foiled a Let's Celebrate You panel using shattered gold deco foil using my Minc laminator. Finally, I ink blended a confetti background and turned it into a shaker card using the new confetti maker die :) Love how this turned out!

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun release from TE - Mother's Day! If you love florals and looking for a versatile set of products perfect for every occasion, this one is for you :)

My first card is another one of my dark background floral cards. I started off by stamping the new Flower Patch background stamp on Eggplant cardstock. I ink blended the edges with Eggplant and Blueberry ink and splattered some light purple paint. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from the new Planting Happiness stamp set on Sugar Cube cardstock. I colored the edges of the stamped images with matching copic marker to cover the white border. Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment using the new Get the Word Out - Mother's Day stamp and die set.

Supply List:

My next card is pretty simple to recreate! I started off by stamping and coloring the new Fancy Florets stamps set. Then, I heat embossed a sentiment from Signature Sentiments on mini slimline sized Spearmint cardstock base. Then, I arranged the colored borders around the sentiment. That's all!

Supply List:

My next set of cards uses the new Triple Slim Layering Stencils - In the Garden to set of three faux water coloring cards. I started off by ink blending the stencils using various dye inks and itty bitty blending brushes. Then, I just went over the ink blended flowers with diluted matching liquid watercolor paint to create a light background. I splattered some white paint. added a sentiment and matted on some Toffee cardstock to finish all my cards! 

Supply List:

That's it! I hope you liked this fun release:)

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with a fun product from TE - Birthday Quad stencils! This was a much-requested product for a while, and I am so glad Taylor got this out in time for TE's half birthday! 

These cards are super simple to recreate. I first started off by ink blending the backgrounds (confetti and streamers) using lighter shades of inks - Lavendar, Cookie Monster, Granny Smith, Strawberry Milkshake, Candy Corn and Pineapple. Then, I placed the cap and the presents on top of the background and ink blended them using Jelly Donut, Lime Zest, Blue Raspberry, Sweet Potato Pie and Lollipop. I finished it off by adding a scallop frame border in Lollipop and Cookie Monster and also heat embossed a sentiment using the Puffy white embossing powder.

That's it folks!

Hi folks, 

If you missed out on some of the Black Friday and Stamp Joy exclusives, now's your chance to get them! 

For today's project, I will be showcasing the new Branches and Blooms and On Ocassion stamp sets. There are multiple ways to use them together. The background is stamped with a tone-on-tone look using Oreo Ink on Poppy Seed cardstock and I then added an Oreo Cardstock frame cut out with the A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate die. I stamped the Branches & Blooms stamp again on Sugar Cube cardstock, colored the images with Copic Markers, fussy cut them out, and arranged them around the ‘thinking of you’ sentiment from the On Occasion stamp set. 

Hi 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.

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!

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 :)
