Hi there! It’s Natalia here. I want to share with you my card using You’re So Sweet stamp set.

I blended some distress inks onto white piece of paper. Another piece of glitter cardstock I die cut using Dotted Patterns Simple Borders dies.

I foam mounted all the elements onto white paper panel and heat embossed the sentiment from You’re so Sweet stamp set using white embossing powder. Decorated everything with Clear Drops Mix One.

Altering Stamps with Erum

October 5, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other, Thank You Cards

Hi there everyone! Erum here with a new card. Today, I will use the A Cup of Thanks Stamp Set and alter it a bit to use it differently.

If you hopped along with us during the release, you must have seen THIS card of mine where I used the same stamp set differently by stamping the image again and selecting just the florals from the second image to add to my card.

This time too, I stamped the image twice. Next, I coloured just the flowers with Prismacolor pencils. After I was done colouring, I fussy cut the flowers out only and layered the two pieces in a way to build a floral bouquet.

I wanted all the focus on the flowers so I kept my card base very simple by adding fine black paint splatters and stamping the sentiment “Thanks”.

I adhered the flowers onto the card base with foam tape and in the end, I added a few, very gorgeous, Midnight Blue Crystals with the help of my new best friend the Studio Katia Glue and the Jewel Picker Tool. This glue dries clear (and fast) AND it’s NOT glossy! This is why it’s my new best friend!

If I had not mentioned which stamp set this was from, you would’ve not guessed it at first glance. You have already seen two very different cards with this stamp set from me and the design team has made quite a few samples as well. A Cup of Thanks is quite a versatile stamp set! You need to add this to your collection STAT!

See you all soon lovelies! Thank you for stopping by.

Autumn mood with Svetlana

September 25, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everybody! Today I want to show you a watercolor card. It’s has autumn mood and feel to it. To create it I used “A Cup of Thanks” set of stamps.

I stamped flowers on watercolor paper and colored them and made a colourful background around the image with zig markers.

I cut out the word on the card first and made few die cuts from another sheet of paper and glued them all together and adhered the thick die cut thanks to the card.

I added some sequins for accents.

Hope you like my card! Thanks for your attention!

Thank You Card with Laura

September 17, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Other, Thank You Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a fun thank you card I created using the Studio Katia Best Friends stamp set.This stamp is super cute and this would be the perfect thank you card to send to an animal lover 🙂

As a first step I stamped the image in the set on Neenah Solar White Cardstock and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.

I then cut the front panel and the background panel out of white cardstock.
For the front panel I used the Dotted Patters Set 1 Creative Dies together with the Dotted Ovals Creative Dies. I used a light grey ink and the Brush Strokes Stamps to add interest to the panel.
For the background I repeated the same steps, this time using the Darling Ribbon & Frames Dies and the Brush Strokes Stripes Stamp Set.

For the sentiment I used the Giving Thanks coordinating dies. I cut the sentiment out of black cardstock and the outline out of white cardstock. I pressed the white die cut on my grey ink to add color and texture, and I glued it on my card front. Unfortunately this set is now retired – I didn’t realize as I was making this card, and I apologize for that- but, if you don’t have it, you can use the coordinating dies to the Mini Thank You stamp set for an equally pretty result. 🙂

I mounted everything on a top-folding A2 card base, and that finished off my card.
And that’s it for today! I really hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope I inspired you to create with the cute Best Friends stamp set.
Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day,

Stitched Quilt Inspired Card by Ilda

September 15, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello dear friends, Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty!
My card today is dedicated to all of you that inspire me on a daily basis. I am so thankful for all the crafty friends I have made and met because of this crazy Card Making/Papercrafting Community! YOU are all so amazing! I am inspired daily by all that I see from you on Facebook, Instagram, everywhere I look, there is SO much talent and inspiration.

So with that said, today I am sharing with you this stitched quilt card. This was definitely a labor of love to create as it took me most of the Summer to complete. The card was hugely inspired by the one and only Jennifer McGuire, the cardmaking Goddess!!! I have always loved her stitched cards but have never found time to try them. I now know why she does these types of cards while on vacation. Well, this Summer I spent 4 weeks in Portugal visiting my family. So to keep from having any crafty withdrawals, I took along with me some card panels that I had die cut with various patterns, embroidery needles, and a variety of colorful thread. The kids and I were so busy that I was only able to complete a couple of the panels as the only downtime I had was when we were at the beach. I just LOVE how this card turned out, and it was definitely worth all those beach hours!

To make this card:

I ran the small square stitch die from the Stitch Border Die set through the die cut machine 20 times!!!
Four times along the top and five rows down.
I used masking tape to hold the square in place while running it each time through the machine.
I eyeballed the spacing, so my squares aren’t perfect. If you want perfect, use a ruler to divide the card panel first.
Next, find yourself a beach, LOL… or a somewhere where you have plenty of time. Start stitching away!
I worked on one square at a time. I began with one color along the outer square and then switched colors for the middle square. To the inside, I used a flower like a stitch by always stitching from the center. (Sorry, not sure what these stitches are actually called, haha!) I also had all my needles threaded with different colors to save on threading them each time.
Once all my colorful squares were completed, I then used a white thread to connect the squares together. Looks like some fancy stitching but it was stitched the same way as the smaller squares I promise. The spacing just makes it look that way!
Once the inside was all done I then stitched along the outside of the panel, finishing off the edges.
To the bottom, I created a little fringed trimmed edge by looping doubled up thread and tying it in knots. To keep the knots from unraveling I added a small amount of multi-medium matt glue to each of them.
On a scrap piece of black cardstock, I stamped out the “you inspire me” sentiment from Japanese Peony set and heat set it with a white embossing powder.
I then used the long stitched border strip to die cut the holes along the top and the bottom of the sentiment strip.
Next, I attached the sentiment strip to the card, trying to line up the holes as best as possible as I stitched it into place.
To attach the Satin Vinca flowers I used a clear thread and a sewing needle, I also used a Silver Dust Seed Bead in the center of each flower. Since I placed the flowers where no holes were pierced I made new holes with the needle as they would not be seen and covered up by the flowers.
Now that the panel was complete, I added multi-medium glue to the entire threaded back and glued that to another piece of cardstock that I had trimmed a little smaller than the panel. I then placed it under a heavy book and set it aside to dry completely flat.
Once it was dry I adhered the panel to a black card base.
To the inside I finished it with the Thank You stamp from the Thank You So Much stamp set.

I hope this card has inspired you today just as Jennifer McGuire has inspired me with this creation.
Thank you all for stopping by, until next time… Happy Crafting!

Thanks a Bunch by Rowena

September 4, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone, Rowena here and I am happy to be back on the blog with another ‘thank you’ card featuring Citrus Trimmings stamp set. You can never have too many thank you cards on hand…right? 😉

I did a bit of masking to create my card, you can use any masking paper you have on hand. I did some random stamping using both of the citrus trimming stamp set to create some variety.

I stamped my images using a watercolor friendly ink, for this one I used MFT cement hybrid ink. It’s perfect for both copic and watercolor as well. For my cardstock I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper. Any watercolor paper you have on hand would work as well, I just love how white the Tim Holtz watercolor paper compare to others.

Then I colored my images using my Daniel Smith watercolor. I colored some in yellow and oranges.

Once all the coloring is done, I splattered some watered down grey ink using a small brush all over for added interest.

I finished my card by white heat embossing my sentiment on a strip of black cardstock. The sentiment is from the same set. I also added a few clear drops to complete my card.

That’s it for me and I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Till next time and happy crafting 🙂

Crafty Hugs,

Rowena

Thank you card

Hi guys! It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you a floral card thank you card.

To create a card background I used Stitched border die and run it through my big shot a couple of times. And I didn’t pull out all tiny dots from the die cut. I glued it as is on a same color card base.

On a watercolor paper I stamped a big bouquet using Archival black ink. I colored this images using distress markers and few distress inks. Next I cut out a phrase “Thank you” using die from small cute set. Also I used a heart stamp and die from this set. I adhere all elements onto card base with adhesive foam.

Hope you like this project! Have a great day!
