Postage Valentine Cards

Hello! Today I have 2 Postage Valentine Cards to share using more new products from Miss Ink Stamps. I love how many different looks you can get with these sets!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:













My first card brings together quite a few sets (some mini sets, too!) to create this fun postage Always card. I love all these new sets: Look at those little letters! The faux wax seal is from the Postage Seal and Shaker Collection.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I couldn’t resist creating a second card with many same elements, but bringing in the SWAK Hearts Postage die set. It was begging to include the Queen of Heart on the heart postage! See how I masked her off for the postage heart in the video.

St. Patrick’s Day Cards
By  on February 1, 2025  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m sharing some fun St. Patrick’s Day Cards with new products from Whimsy Stamps. I love making St. Patrick’s Day cards and I have for a while since I have some loved ones whose birthdays are on March 17th!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This first set called Lucky Charm really made me smile! I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and created an ink blended rainbow background. I colored up that lucky leprechaun with Copic Markers and popped him up with foam adhesive….you might notice the gold coin (and trail) stamped on the background. That’s right!! I stamped it first on the background just to have those elements showing, then put the colored version of the leprechaun only over the top!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used the clovers in the stamp set to create a background and ink blended some green ink around the edges.





Next, I created a shaker card with the new Quick Card Fronts! There are actually 2 different sets of Quick Card Fronts this release, this one with the harp is the Celtic Mix.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the border, I used only one of the dies from the new Celtic Knots Die set. I LOVE this die set! See my next card for a full look at the border in this set.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Here is the magic of that Celtic Knots die set!! This time I used it with the St. Patrick’s Day Vintage Postcards Quick Card Fronts (a beautiful collection)!

A Very Merry (Caffeinated) Penguin
By  on December 14, 2024  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello, today I have a Very Merry (Caffeinated) Penguin card and video to share! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I love that crested penguin from the Caffeinated Critters stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps! But indeed it looks angry…so I thought it would be funny to have a bunch of little penguins (from the Ice Day stamp set) all huddled around. Lol. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





The sentiment is so perfect for this. But I also think it would be funny to build a sentiment that says “So Very Merry” with an alpha die set. (That was my original idea…then it morphed into this card).





I used the Punny Farm die set to cut the stitches around the entire panel. This is an A2 sized card (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″).
