Potions and Spells Cauldron

I don't normally do a lot of crafting for Halloween but this year might be an exception with the super cute Potions and Spells Bundle.  I shared this waterfall card on Wednesday.  Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.  I have a video to go with it.  I also made this adorable card!  I have to say I really, really, really love this card!  I used my Blending Brushes to give everything a little more texture and depth.  

I shaded the bubbles and potion with Lemon Lime Twist Ink.  It's a simple step but it really makes a huge difference in the look of the bubbles.  I did the same thing with my cauldron.  I die cut it from Basic Gray Cardstock and used Basic Gray Ink to add shading.  So fun!  

I used a Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blend to color my ribbon to coordinate better.  I also added some wiggly stripes to my Pecan Pie floor with a Pecan Pie Stampin' Blend.  Don't think to much about this.  The less perfect it is the better it looks.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Watch for this new Potions and Spells Bundle to be available when the new Online Exclusives launch next week on July 3, 2024.

Potions and Spells Sneak Peek! Waterfall Card with VIDEO!!

Today I'm sharing a really fun card that features our brand new Potions and Spells Bundle.  This bundle is coming in the Online Exclusive Launch coming on July 3, 2024.  Today I'm sharing a fun waterfall card.  This card is full of movement and will amaze your friends!  Don't be intimated it's a lot easier than it looks!  I'm breaking down all the steps for you in my video below.  

I love these types of cards and when I saw how many fun images and dies were in this bundle I wanted to incorporate as many as I could into one card.  The great part of a waterfall card is that you get to make four smaller panels, they all coordinate but they're all a little different which is so fun!  

As you pull the tab on the bottom the card flips or 'waterfalls' through all the panels. It's a fun interactive card that everyone will love.  The images and dies are all from the new bundle. I die a variety of stamping, coloring and die cutting on each panel. Check out the video for details on each of the panels.

Thanks A Bunch

Let's be honest here, I was 100% certain that I didn't need a stamp set with carrots, radishes, and other vegetables.  Well guess what....I was wrong! The Market Goodness Bundle is completely adorable and I've loved every project I've made with it! It is sooo much fun!!! The coordinating To Market DSP is equally as adorable!  I'm using it on my card, that Garden Green plaid one--yes please! 

I stamped the background of my card using the stamps in the bundle and of course my greeting and veg come from the bundle.  I added some basic shapes with a Real Red Deckled Circle for a pop of color and a Basic White Perennial Postage Label as a resting spot for my greeting and veggies. I finished the card with some Rainbow Dots, we have so many gem options you can add.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Hello Friend With Charming Ducks

My absolute favorite bundle in the catalog is the Charming Duck Pond Bundle.  I cannot stop creating with this one!  I used the coordinating Lily Pond Lane DSP for this card too.  I layered lots of strips on the Peach Pie card base, alternating patterns. I added even more layers and dimension with some Peach Pie Ribbon and Essentials Baker's Twine.  For a pop of color I added a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. 

For my sweet ducks I used Stampin' Blends to color them.  There's lots of options for the ducks in this bundle.  You can use the fill in stamp to add color if you don't want to color them or create the ducks with the dies.  I finished the card with some Shiny Sequins.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Celebrate Patriotic Cake Box-VIDEO

Today I have an adorable treat box to share with you.  This one will be a great party favor for your Fourth of July parties.  But it would be equally as cute with different colors, different DSP, and maybe a different tag for party favors for any party!  I'm filling my box with another Little Debbie cake.  You can check out the Little Debbie Product Locator to find these cakes in your area.  For my greeting I used the 'celebrate' stamp from the Unbounded Love Set.  This set is full of amazing greetings for any occasion!   

My stars are die cut out of Gold Foil using the Kiddin' Around Dies and the Merriest Trees Dies.  I added Adhesive Sheets on the back of the Gold Foil BEFORE die cutting.  That makes them easy to adhere, just like a sticker!  Don't miss this step!  I finished my tag with some ribbon and Sparkle Gems.  LOVE IT!

Tune In For Father's Day

As I'm sure many of you did, we celebrated Father's Day yesterday.  Our family actually did our Father's Day dinner on Saturday night because we dropped my daughter off at camp on Sunday so she wouldn't be able to join us for Father's Day.  I made this card to celebrate the special dads out there.  The greeting is from the May 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  One of the reasons I love Paper Pumpkin is because of the exclusive stamp sets which often have great greetings like this one that you can keep using even beyond your kit.

I used the dies to die cut my TV pieces.  I have a couple more samples using this Bundle here and here.  You can get this amazing Tune In Bundle this month for an additional 10% off in my Online Store.  Shop today!!!  The DSP is from the To Market pack.  LOVE this package and the basic patterns.  For some background stamping I used some leaves from the Layering Leaves Set and I finished the card with some Ombre Dots.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Stay Tuned....

Hello! Happy Friday!!!!  I have a fun card to share today! This one features the Tune In Bundle again.  I can't stop using this one! It's soooo fun!  I went for a pink theme on this one pairing up Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink.  I used tone on tone stamping for the Melon Mambo background.  For the strip of Pretty In Pink I added lots of sparkle with the In Color Glimmer Paper and the star burst die in the bundle.  

For my television I colored it in Summer Splash and Pebbled Path Stampin' Blends.  I added the knobs on the television with my Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I also added some dots of the Fine Tip Glue Pen to the Melon Mambo Background to help enhance the Melon Mambo Glossy dots there as well.  

I stamped my television twice to get extra dimension.  I colored only the outside for one, the Summer Splash one.  Then when I die cut that one I die cut the television and a window for the screen.  The other television I used Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink Stampin' Blends to create an ombre look on the screen.  I only die cut the television for that one.  I adhered the Summer Splash TV with the cut out screen over the other one with Dimensionals so it pops up.  I have a full supply list below, you can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Designer Series Paper Party Class!

Over the weekend I held my June in person class.  If you're local in the Albuquerque, NM area I'd love for you to attend a class.  We have lots of fun.  My guests get to make five cards, if you place an order prior/at/after to the class you get a bonus 6th card.  So I have 6 amazing cards to share.  All the cards this month feature DSP in fun ways, a few of them are fun folds, because DSP makes the best fun fold cards!! 

The first uses the Wildly Flowering DSP for a fun fold card.  This DSP is sooooo stunning in person!  I think it's one of my favorites!

I love how this card folds and opens.  I don't have a supply list or measurements for any of these cards.  That is a perk reserved only to my guests who attend my class. 

The next card uses the To Market DSP along with the Market Goodness Bundle.  This was the bonus card for my guests who placed orders.  I love this fun variation on a Z-Fold.  

We used lots of different DSP patterns from the To Market package.  I love the variation of patterns but LOVE that they all coordinate perfectly!!!

The next card uses the Full of Life DSP.  This card is the best example of how to use up scraps.  I used twelve 1" squares for the background.  Everyone's card way different and fun and they all looked incredible!  I used the Beach Day Set and Dies for fun focal points.  LOVE IT!  

The Mediterranean Blooms DSP and Citrus Blooms Bundle are soooo amazing.  This was another DSP that I was amazed with in person.  It is soooo stunning!!!  

This is another fun fold card where the DSP can really shine! 

The Country Woods DSP is the perfect DSP for that rustic feel.  There's so many fun textures in this DSP that I couldn't choose one! That's why this card is perfect!  Use a bunch of them! 

Finally, we used the Country Lace DSP for a simply sympathy card.  We all need sympathy cards.  Folding one corner up is a fun way to showcase both sides of the DSP.  Plus this color combo is just so soothing.
