Hello!  Today I am featuring a couple products from the new release and oh my goodness I’m in love!  I used the new Kaleidoscope Heart Layering Die with some holographic paper from my stash and just loved how it turned out.  The dimension and shine are to die for!

I embossed some light pink cardstock with an embossing folder I had that was the closest thing to resembling hearts.  I cut all three layers of the layering heart die in regular black cardstock for the base and used a blue and pink holographic cardstock from my stash for layers A and B.  I glued all the pieces together, adhered it to my embossed piece, then adhered that to my card base.

For the sentiment I used the new Lingo Thanks stamp and die set.  I love that Birch Press offers matching dies with their sentiment stamp set.  After stamping and die cutting I decided to use a matching Copic marker to fill in the letters and adhered the sentiment with some foam dimensionals.

To complete the card I added clear sparkling sequins.  If you want to check out the process video of me making this card, you can find it below as well as links to the layering die and stamp set.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!

I am back with another project, but this time I am going to use their Circle Burst stencil! I knew when I saw this stencil, there were going to be a lot of big and shiny balloons to celebrate a birthday!

Grabbed three of my distress oxide inks in spiced marmalade, worn lipstick and peacock feathers and my distress blending brushes and got my card stock panel ready for my stencil.

I made sure I taped my panel down so it would not shift while I was applying my ink through the stencil. Using my blending brushes I made sure I always went in the same direction which provided a shadow along one side of my balloons. Make sure they overlap to give a sense of the center balloon is in front of the other two!

I pulled out my black fine liner pen and added my strings and bows to my balloons and a highlight mark with my white gel pen!

For my sentiment I used the Birthday Sugar Script die. This is a great large and bold sentiment to help the celebration shine! I used black card stock for the background die and a shimmer card stock for the sentiment itself!

I popped my sentiment up using my double-sided foam tape and placed along the bottom edge of my card design with enough space to set my other two sentiments above and below to finish my wish!

I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Eloise here for my first post of 2019 and today I have a friendship thank you card to share with you all. I’ll be using the Circle Burst Stencil as well as the Best Friend stamp set for todays project.

To start off my project I took a piece of white watercolour cardstock and adhered it down to my ranger craft sheet. I then took the Circle Burst Stencil and starting ink blending.

I wanted to make a bursting rainbow today, so I took 10 colours of Distress Inks out and worked my way around making sure they were all getting blended in order. This stencil has cool embossed lines on it as well, so it’s easy to get it spaced out and lined up every time. Once my background was ink blended I flicked it with water and dried it off with a heat tool.

For my sentiment, I took the Best Friend stamp set, stamped and die cut the word friend and also white heat embossed the additional sentiment ‘Thanks For Being You’ onto a thin black strip. I added foam tape onto both and adhered them into place.

For a last finishing touch I pulled some white enamel dots from my stash and adhered them into place, just scattering them around.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed. The video is linked down below for you all to watch.

See you next time!

Hello Everyone!

I am back with another project, this time using the Tall Triangle Set with the believe Sugar Script Sentiment Die!

Hard to image a die so simple in shape can have so many possibilities!

For this card I wanted a deco or modern feel. So I went with a strong copper metallic card stock and shades of green and teal for my triangle die cuts. I layered most directly on top of each other using liquid adhesive but chose one layer on each triangle set to be popped up using my foam squares.

These were placed on my copper panel on an angel and trimmed of the edges even with my design base on the top and bottom.For my sentiment I used the Believe Sugar Script die. I cut multiple sentiments from black card stock and one from copper mirror to match the background.

Once these were set, I placed my sentiment between my two triangles.

I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

I hope you enjoyed today’s project… Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!

Hello everyone!  Today I am on the blog featuring the beautiful Shining Mandala stamp set.  I wanted to keep it simple with today’s card, but stay tuned as I will definitely be bringing this stamp set back for future products.

So in addition to the Shining Mandala stamp set, I also used the Big Hello Sugar Script Die and the Gold Rose Handmade Paper.  Isn’t it lovely?!

To start off, I heat embossed the Shining Mandala stamp set with gold embossing powder.  I trimmed it down with a stitched scallop die.  I cut the handmade paper A2 size (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) to completely cover the card base.  I adhered the handmade paper to the card base and added dimensional to the scalloped embossed panel.  I die cut out the sentiment in black and some gold glitter card stock from my stash. Adhered the two, added dimensions, and adhered it to my card.  Topped the card off with some gold gem stones and called it done!  I love this card.  Simple, yet classy.  You could change the sentiment and it would make a wonderful Christmas card.

I hope you enjoyed.  I do have a process video below for a quick overview of how I put the card together.  Let me know what you think!

Happy Holidays everyone! It’s Justine here for my last holiday card of the season featuring an awesome Distress Oxide galaxy background technique. When I received the Nativity Star die I was absolutely blown away by its elegance and beauty that I had to play around with a fun background technique to suit it.

I used yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, navy and black ink in order to create the background. I used a really great and subtly cardstock layer combination as well – gold, silver, white glitter and vellum.

I paired the card with the Simple Joy sentiment that I love so much die cut using silver and gold cardstock. I love how the imprints of the joy make lining up the letters so easy!
