Purple Postage Sympathy Card

Hello, today I have a Purple Postage Sympathy Card to share. It’s a little nod to Spring with an alternative color scheme.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love the Magnolia stamp from Miss Ink Stamps for a Spring Card! Beautiful products combine for a beautiful card. I hope you’ll check out the video for the full tutorial.

Big Bug Hugs!

Hello, today I have a Bug Hugs card that’s as cute as a bug! I love to create cards with Whimsy Stamps, however, it’s rare I share a video. TODAY I have a video to share creating this Bug Hugs card! I also have a bonus simple card at the end *Wink!*

Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Aren’t these bugs so cute?! Their expressions really make me smile.

I used the BIG Hugs sentiment die, but did a little slick switcharoo and made it say BUG Hugs instead!

Here’s the bonus card using the same supplies, in a different way:

It’s a Great Day to Be Alive!

Hello! Today I have some ALIVE cards to share with you using the new Robot Life stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I used the Scene Builder Treeline stencil to create the background for this first card. The images and sentiments are all from the new Robot Life Stamp set. I added some butterfly trails using my favorite new white pens.

I just love that “Need Input” stencil I used for the background of this one. I stenciled it twice: first on red cardstock with grey ink, then on while cardstock with blue ink. Then I cut the postage frame from my favorite postage die set (linked below).

Do you get the reference? No cancellation…alive forever! If you have seen the movie you might get how I came to this sentiment! (I cannot mention it here, but it’s an older movie with a robot that looked very similar!)

Make a Full Shaker Owl Card

Hello! Today I’m sharing how to make a full shaker owl card with the amazing die set called Postage, Seal and Shaker Collection die set from Miss Ink Stamps.

I love that there are SO many things you can do with this set! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I hope you’ll watch the video for some tips on making a successful shaker panel. I love making my own shaker panels because using the acetate I share in my list, I feel like I can make my panel flatter and easy to attach to my card base, easy to mail, and easy to shake! Today I am using this full shaker panel with the Owls stamps set.

I hope you love a good full-shaker panel as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by!

Alice-Keyhole-shaker-2

Alice Shaker Card

Hello! Today I have an Alice Shaker Card and video to share! Today I used the Nested Keyhole die set and Key to My Heart die set from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

You might know that I love to make Alice cards, and when I get a chance to make an Alice card AND a shaker card together…well that’s just awesome!

I also brought in two favorite stencils (and I have many favorite Miss Ink Stencils that work so well with Alice cards!): Vintage Keyholes, and Rabbit Hole stencil. Can you see that subtle design in the very back of the shaker panel?

I used different shades of blue glitter paper along with some silver metallic cardstock to cut out the heart keys and heart lockets. Such a cute die set!
