New Flower Stamp Sets!

Hello! You might know that I love a good flower stamp set. Today I am sharing TWO NEW sets from Maker Forte, and I’m putting together two cards.

I have all the details at the Maker Forte Blog here. And I also have a video showing the entire process, including coloring tips, stencil tips and more. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This first card is using a stamp set designed by Alex Syberia. Her floral designs are always a favorite of mine!

This second card features a new stamp set designed by Verada Sharma, who is a new designer to Maker Forte! I colored up these flowers like gardenias, but they can certainly be any flower and any color!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I hope you enjoyed these projects today!

Craft Studio Tour!

Craft Studio Tour!

Finally…my craft studio tour is ready! I created this video to share my organizational tips (or lack of organization) and set up in my craft studio. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to share this because it’s STILL not quite as orderly as I’d like. But if I waited until it was perfect, this video would never happen! Lol.

I hope you enjoy and get a few ideas. Let me know what you think! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’ve listed some of my crafty organization favorites and tools. It’s impossible to list them all because there’s A LOT of stuff in there! Lol. So here’s a few of the ones I thought would be helpful, using affiliate links when possible. When you purchase from one of these links I may receive a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting my site (and crafty goals).

I am excited to bring these to you today. I am still moving into my new house, so these videos are actually live instead of my usual voiceover videos. I hope you enjoy!

Check out the Maker Forte Store to see all the new goodies and try some for yourself!

I love these new Kaleidoscope Powders…they are fun to play with and offer such different effects on your cards. I show you some of the powders on black cardstock here and make a simple card using the Watercolor Witch stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dancing Skeleton Card

Hello! Today I have a fun card to share for Dia de los Muertos. I’m using images from the Hedgehog Hollow September Kit today. These images sure make me smile!

I made a short video to show you the process….I think this is the SHORTEST card video I have ever made! Lol. So if you just have a few minutes, then this video will be perfect. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Those images will work great on a Halloween card, too! And the rose stencil can be used for any occasion. I really love the versatility of this month’s kit!

If you haven’t ordered your kit yet, you can head on over to the Hedgehog Hollow shop to see if they have any left!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope this card made you smile today! I think I must’ve been inspired by “Stitch” from the movie “Lilo and Stitch” when I colored up that cat! In that movie there is a pet character that is BLUE!

This cat would be cute in any color! Lol. Thanks for stopping by!

CAS card with Bold Flower

Hello! Today I have a Clean and Simple card with a bold black and white flower. I was inspired by Laurie Willison’s Altenew class this week, (called Quick and Simple cards) as a part of my Level 3 certification.

That bold flower from this stamp set is one of my favorites! For this card, I first stamped the Block Print stamp in the background with a blue ink.

Then I heat embossed 3 sentiments from this stamp set in white on black cardstock. I was really inspired by Laurie’s first class where she showed a trick for making lots of sentiments with your Misti…so I gave that a try and stamped multiple sentiments with one pass.

I cut out small sentiment strips using my paper cutter and adhered them across the front of the card panel. Then I popped up the bold flower with foam tape.

The card panel is adhered to the card base with fun foam for a bit of dimension. This card was a complete joy to make and that background design really pops when it’s the only color on the card.

I was so inspired by this class and highly recommend it! Thanks for stopping by today.
