Bunny Wish Slimline Card

I should probably work on my blog post titles, but it’s very difficult to title a card. Hello crafty friends! Today I’m back with a no-line coloring slimline card and it includes a really handy tip for no-line watercolor scenes, so definitely read on if you want to find that out!

Hello everyone! This card is a super simple design, but a labour of love anyway. I love adding stitching to cards, but this took me a while.

Soft Kitten No-Line Coloring

Hello everyone! If you’ve been keeping up with my cards, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been working on my coloring, especially on my no-line coloring. It’s still a very new technique for me, I think this is only the third card I made like this, but I love how it turned out.

Happy Mail Card

Let It Snow Magic Color Slider Card

Hello everyone! Today I have a super fun interactive card mechanism that is really easy to put together using supplies you most likely have in your stash already!

Little Gnomes Box Card

Hello everyone! You know how much of a sucker I am for the Little Agenda stamp sets from Mama Elephant and these gnomes are particularly adorable. I thought it would be fun to make a box card with them. I have ordered the Lawn Fawn box card die, but it’s still on its way so this is a box card made from scratch, which is really easy to do! I just plan on making a lot of these in the future and a die would save me some time.

Yeti For Christmas Gatefold Card

Hello everyone! I’ve done this general gatefold design before, but I thought it would be fun to make some Christmas cards with it too, so let’s get into it!

Rainbow Penguins

Hello crafty friends! The time is upon us to prepare all the christmas cards. And I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want a quick card that is not too christmassy. Don’t get me wrong, Christmas is great, but it’s nice to get out of the red/green/traditional christmas rut.

Circle Baby Card

Hello everyone! You know how much I love circle cards. And with this adorable bunny from Mama Elephant I couldn’t resist making a baby card with a loose watercolor background.

Warm and Toasty Scene

Hello crafty friends! I don’t usually make scene cards because I find them really difficult to create and color, but I had this scene in my mind as soon as this Mama Elephant release came out so I gave it a go anyway and I think it worked out okay.

Transparent Cards

Transparent cards are really easy to make and still something that will surprise the recipient. I have two examples for you today that are quite similar, but you can do this with any supplies you have on hand!

Hello everyone! It’s a little late, but I still wanted to share this Halloween card on my blog because it’s super quick and fun to make.

Sentiment backdrop

Hello everyone! Today I have a fun technique to share to get more out of your sentiment stamps. I personally love to buy sentiment stampsets because you can use them on every card, but sometimes it’s a little difficult to justify the price when you know image stampsets include some sentiments as well. So this is an easy way to create a background using only sentiment stamps to get your money’s worth from them!

Stitched Border and No-Line Coloring

This was such a fun card to make, I love adding stitched detail if I have the time. I’m still very new to the no-line coloring game, but I think this image turned out pretty well!

Big Hugs and Happy Thoughts

Big hugs and happy thoughts are something we can all use this year, so I made this quick card using some patterned paper, an embossed diecut and a big sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

Simple Slimline Birthday Cards

Hello everyone! I’m finally back with some simple but very cute slimline birthday cards. I really like vertical slimline card designs but I rarely do them myself. These adorable cirtters from My Favorite Things deserve a simple card with lots of white space so they can truly shine.

MFT Sketch Challenge 501

Hey everyone! Today I decided to give the Sketch Challenge from My Favorite Things a go for the first time. This week’s sketch was a really fun stripe theme and I just couldn’t resist. I love simple cards with a lay out that’s just a little different and today’s card is just that.

Tiny Cat Art Gallery

Hello everyone! I’m really excited to share this card with you today. It took me a while to make just because of the coloring, but I love how it turned out.

Hello everyone! I have a really simple one layer card for you today. My first time trying no-line coloring and I think it went pretty well.

Mermazing Cards

Hello everyone! With the current heat wave I was in the mood to make some cool summer cards using the mermaid stamp set from My Favorite Things. It features a 2 out of 1 background design with lots of sparkle and shine. I really like how these turned out!

Challenge #1 – BONUS

Hello everyone! I promise this is the very last card in this challenge, there were only supposed to be seven, but this one is really simple and I had this idea from the beginning. It’s only because of Jennifer McGuire’s surprise gatefold tutorial that I have an extra card. This took me under half an hour to make but I think it turned out too well to not share it.

Challenge #1 – Day 7

Hello everyone! As promised I have a fun fold card for you guys today as the grand finale to the 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire’s latest video where she made a ton of Christmas cards (and a few others) that had this really fun gatefold design. Now I don’t have all the beautiful layering dies she used, but I wanted to show it’s a design you can really make your own with any dies you have.

Challenge #1 – Day 6

Hello everyone! For today’s part of the 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge I’ve got a round card for you guys. It’s super easy and uses some left over parts from day four that I’d have hated to see go to waste, so it was really quick to put together too. (But don’t worry I’m going to go over the whole process again so those of you who didn’t read the post of Day 4 don’t miss anything.)

Challenge #1 – Day 5

Hello everyone! I’m back today with another card for the 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge. Today’s project involves some white emboss resist and very loose watercoloring. It’s a super easy one that you can do with a lot of stamps in your stash and it doesn’t take much time at all. So let’s get into how I made this.

Challenge #1 – Day 4

Hello everyone! I’m back with another card for the 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge. Today I thought I’d do a simplified version of patterned paper piecing, which I’ve only done once before. This is a perfect project to use up some of your patterned paper scraps and because there’s no coloring, you can be done with this card pretty quickly, or make a couple of it. I actually ended up making four of these in no time.

Challenge #1 – Day 3

Hello everyone! I have a very different card for you guys today in my 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge. It’s a really colorful and simple one layer card. I was inspired by Cathy Zielske’s 10 minute design chat for crafty people about common margins. I had a lot of fun making this card and it was very easy to do, I can’t wait to make a ton of cards like this with different small stamps in my stash.

Challenge #1 – Day 2

For today’s project, I chose to make a slimline card. As I mentioned in my introductory post on the 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set challenge, it’s easier to change up your designs when you change up the shape or size of your card base. So that’s exactly what I did.

Challenge #1 – Day 1

For the challenge 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set, I’m challenging myself to make a different card every single day for one week using only one stamp set. The Stems and Sprigs stamp set by Mama Elephant.

This stamp set was a bit of an impulse buy for me, and I only had one idea for it. The one everyone was posting on social media with the lovely tiny envelope from their Botanic Envelope creative cuts. Sadly those dies were sold out when I bought the stamp. I still managed to replicate something like it using my envelope punch board from We R Memory Keepers.

Challenge #1 – 1 Week, 1 Stamp Set

Let’s kick off the blog with the very first challenge!

For 1 Week, 1 stamp set I want you to choose a stamp set and create a card with it every day for a week. You can use any number of additional materials, any medium, anything. But the stamp set you choose needs to be an important part of the cards you make.

Wonders of the World

Hello everyone! Let’s start this blog off with a fun colorful rainbow card that is really easy to make. As someone with friends in far away places, I absolutely love this stamp by Hero Arts. As soon as I got it in the mail I got to crafting.

Stained Glass Effect

Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing how I made these stunning stained glass cards. The front is completely transparent, but there’s still plenty of space to write a personal message on the inside.
