Too Cute to Eat Bird Card with The Sassy Club

My orange and yellow Ohuhu Art Markers got a good workout for this card! I just love this sweet, citrus bird and my favorite pineapple treat at the most magical place on earth. I'm using The Sassy Club products for this card and I have a simple, short video of how my card came together. But I'll walk you through it here, too!

I used the green pattern from the Tiny World 6x6 Paper Pad and hot foiled the Mouse Gold Foil Plate with Opal Hot Foil and used a nested A2 rectangle die to create my background. I stamped and colored my images with the Sassy Club Ink and my Ohuhu Art Honolulu B Markers; I masked my bird's leaves and head so I could the little ear hat.

These images were fussy cut out and I played around with the arrangement to know that I wanted to add a sentiment on a banner under the images. I went with a wavy banner and embossed the "too cute to eat!" sentiment with white embossing powder. The sentiment and images were added with foam adhesive to the card which an A2 card base with the background glued down with a tape runner.

The final touches are some Pops of Color in Orange Squeeze which is an adequate color name for this card, am I right? I just love how this sweet scene turned out and I'm about to grab a treat for myself in the freezer now... It's not this pineapple treat, but it's a popsicle and that's close enough until I'm back at Walt Disney World this summer!

New Miss Ink Stamps Release - Magical School Teachers Card

The new release from Miss Ink Stamps is here! I'm sharing another project featuring new sets from the Magical Collection - Curses Stamp Set and Newspaper Background Stamp. I started with cutting a piece of cream cardstock with a nested A2 rectangle die and stamped the Newspaper Background in a brown ink. I added some Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges of the cardstock as well as some splatter to give it an "old paper" look.

After it dried, I stenciled on some gold stencil paste through the Lightning Bolt Stencil and set it aside to dry. I stamped my images in a black alcohol friendly ink and colored them with my Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. They all have coordinating dies so I cut them out and planned on my layout. I prepared my A2 card base and added some bronze shimmer paper to my card base from my Your Paper Insider Box 3.

Now that my stencil paste is dry, I stamped the "don't make me use my wand" sentiment in a red-brown ink and adhered it to my card base with foam adhesive. I also popped up my teachers and additional classroom details with foam adhesive and they filled up the card quite nicely! I hope you're as excited as I am for this new release, so head over and get to shopping!

Spellbinders June 2023 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month!

New month, new Spellbinders Club Kits! I am so excited for June's kit as we're going under the sea this month. The Glimmer Hot Foil kit is also super cute and I'm going to be getting the the dies this month as I'm just in love with all the possibilities I can make with them, too. So make sure to come back later in the month so you can see what I come up with combing all the kits!

In my video today, I am sharing the Clear Stamp Set and Die Kit of the Month that has the most adorable whale stamp! I stamped them twice - once with a light ink to use with my Ohuhu Art Markers for a no-line coloring look and the other with VersaFine Clair ink with clear embossing powder for watercoloring. As with my past two kits, I try to share different ways to color the images so you can get some inspiration of what you have in your craft room, too!

After the coloring, I am creating an embossed background with Distress Oxide inks for one underwater scene and then some die cutting with Color Block dies from Spellbinders to create a geometric looking underwater scene. Which one is your favorite? I love my watercolored whale, but the background with the different cardstocks I think turned out too cool!

Miss Ink Stamps Sneak Peek - Baddies Fun Fold Card

Just a note from... You-Know-Who! So excited to be back sharing a sneak peek of the upcoming release from Miss Ink Stamps and their Magical Collection. The set I am featuring today is called Baddies and has a few fandom characters you'll recognize. I'm using the baddest of them all on today's card as well as the masks to create my own patterned oval background. This card is also inspired by last Friday's episode of Craft Roulette: card with flaps (gate fold card), winter colors, children's story and tile(s).

I started with creating a gate fold card with black cardstock and I added panels that I inked with Distress Ink and Miss Ink Stamps' Cobblestone Stencil to create tiles in the background. I used Pumice Stone and also splattered the ink and white ink spray to create texture. I then inked with Weathered Wood through the Snakes Stencil, just in the corners and along the long side of the panels.

The ovals are die cut - the larger in a silver shimmer cardstock and the smaller in the same mixed media paper as my cobblestone background. I stamped the masks in Morning Mist VersaFine ink and splattered more Weathered Wood Distress Ink to keep tying in the winter color palette. I stamped my book bad guy and colored him with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the coordinating die to cut him out. Once I figured out his placement, I stamped my sentiment in black ink and then popped him up with foam adhesive.

This oval was popped up onto the larger oval and the panels were adhered to the two flaps on the card. I glued the ovals to the left flap only so you can easily open the card. I also brought in some Pops of Color to add little pops to the card. I'm excited to share with you another card on Saturday with the new release, so make sure to come back then!

Kawaii Cuties Halloween Box Card with Stamp Anniething

It's so hard to believe we're approaching the end of May already. I feel like it was just yesterday I was singing NSYNC "it's gonna be maayyyy" and now it's past Memorial Day weekend. I have a fun sneak peek of an upcoming release to share tomorrow, so I'm sharing my latest Halloween on the Last Day of the Month video today! Using My Favorite Things slimline box card dies, I created this little Halloween party at a Haunted House with the cutest little monster stamps I've ever seen.

These are Kawaii Cuties from Stamp Anniething and I had been eyeing these stamps for a while and I finally bought them the other day (along with a really adorable sea critters Kawaii Cuties stamp set, too) to use for a Halloween themed project. In my video today, I'm sharing all of the pieces I die cut in colored cardstock from Your Paper Insider and how I added some ink to give depth to my grass pieces. Then we'll walk through assembling the box card, haunted house and adding in all of the pieces onto the box card to create this fun little party. I hope you enjoy the video and it brings some joy to you today!
