Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today and this week the team are showcasing  the latest Kobi Stamp sets.

I love Kobi, not only are his sets fun to use but he is also fun to color, but I actually decided not to use Kobi today and instead use the super cute penguins from Kobi’s Ice Day Stamp Set.

I rarely create tags, I am not sure why because whenever I do I really enjoy creating them, so today I also used the Dotted Shaker Tag 3 die set.

I started off stamping the penguin stamp 3 times along with the head and ear muffs and coloured them using Spectrum Noir Markers.

I then die cut the tag from some blue card stock and using the snowflake stamp set I stamped all over the tag using white dye ink, You can use white pigment ink as that shows up a lot more, but I wanted it to be very subtle so I went for dye ink.

I then die cut the snow hills using Trimmings Borders die. I stamped the sentiment using black ink to add some contrast and then started to assemble the tag. I popped one of the hills up using foam tape for some dimension and couldn’t resist adding some of the gorgeous Iridescent Ice Flakes.

If you haven’t seen Katia now has her own glue and it is AMAZING ! I am VERY fussy when it comes to liquid glues but love how this performs and it was used for this tag. I’d highly recommend it.

Once the tag was done I added some white dots to the holly hat just because it looked a bit too dark against the rest of the tag.

These penguins are so cute and fun. I am also loving this tag die as it is a practical size and I am going to be using it to create all my holiday tags this year 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a great day.

Happy Crafting

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a cute Halloween card I created with the Meowy Halloween Stamp Set and the Monster Bash Stamp Set. There is also a video tutorial at the end of this post, so stay tuned for that!
To start off the card I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock, anc I colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers.
I created a color chart for you, that you can use as a reference.

Once I was done coloring the images, I cut them with the coordinating dies, and then moved on to my card base.
I used the rectangular die in the Darling Ribbon and Frames to cut some black cardstock to an A2 size. I then combined the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Creative Dies with the Loops Creative Dies to die cut the front panel of my card out of some purple cardstock.

I die cut a spiderweb from some vellum using the Spiderweb Creative Die, and I added some shimmer to it using my Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Pen. I cut the web in half and used it to decorate the card front, which I then raised over the black card base with some foam tape.   I adhered all the images to my card, and, for an extra fun touch, I glued some Studio Katia Googly Eyes in some of the windows. I used pairs of different sizes, because I think that the result this way is even more fun!

For the sentiment I die cut some green cardstock with one of the dies in the Darling Ribbon and Frames Set, and did some stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I chose the one that reads “Eye think you’re cute”, as I thought that it was a perfect fit to the monsters and the googly eyes.

I decorated the inside of the card with another of the monsters from the Monster Bash stamp set, and I also stamped the “Monster Hugs” sentiment from the same set.

I finished off the card by adding some white highlights, a bit of sparkle with my Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Pen, and some gloss with Ranger Glossy Accents.

And that’s my card for today! As I said at the beginning of this post, I also recorded a video tutorial, that you can watch down below!

And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked this card and enjoyed the video, and I hope I inspired you to create with the adorable Monster Bash and Meowy Halloween stamp sets!
Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Laura

Hey lovelies, I hope you are all having a good week so far ?

Have you checked out the new release yet ? I swear they get better and better with each release and I always say each release is my favourite.

I am using You’re So Sweet stamp set from the new release today in a clean and simple-ish card.

I wanted to keep this card simple and also quick because I know this time of year it starts to get pretty busy for some.

I heat embossed one of the main images onto some Canson watercolour card and then using Arteza Brush pens I coloured it in, The colours on the flowers were inspired by the GORGEOUS June Crystals which I have been dying to use, and also my grandmother always grew sweet peas and I remember each year she always grew one that was this kind of color and it was so beautiful.

I added some blue shading around the flower and then added a simple sentiment from the set. I then used my go to die from the Dotted Patterns one set to cut the whole panel out and then using glue dots I adhered it to a top folding light grey note card and added the crystals using Katia’s new glue….this glue is brilliant and holds fast, I’d certainly recommend it and trust me I am very fussy when it comes to adhesives.

This is such a pretty stamp set and I think it is my favourite floral from this release.

So whats been your favourite from the latest release ?

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a great day.

Word dies are hugely popular in crafting at the moment, I have to confess to having a huge weakness for them and own a lot. But we often use them to accompany an image, or in place of a sentiment, they can however be used on their own to create some really fun cards.

Today I am sharing a card I created using the Friend word die from the Spring Bouquet co ordinating die set. this is lovely flowing font and a nice size die too.

When creating a card like this I like to use card stock with a slight texture, I tend to use Core’dinations but there is plenty of different brands that offer textured cardstock.

I wanted to go with a rainbow type theme so repeatedly die cut the die from different colours. I trimmed down some Neenah card to just under A2 size and then worked out roughly where i wanted each die and started adhering them into place.

Once they was all done and dry I trimmed all the excess off, you want to make sure that some go off the edge of the card as this gives a better finished look to the card.

I used a sentiment from the Japanese Peony Stamp set and heat embossed it onto a strip of black card which I adhered to the panel with foam tape and then I adhered the whole piece to a pink card base.

A quick and simple way to use those word dies and this can be done in so many ways, you could use all white card stock for a soft white on white look or even use metallic or inked pieces of card there really is many possibilities.

I hope I have given you some inspiration for your word dies. Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have a great day and happy crafting.
