Hello, I have some cute cards to share today with the cutest critters. I just can’t decide if they are otters (like the stamp set suggests) or baby seals.
Give my video a watch and let me know what YOU think. Watch it below or on YouTube:
In my video I share easy ways to make multiples, and change up a few things to get a different look!
Which one do YOU like better?

Hello, today I have a Back to School card to share using a positive affirmation. I’ve combined a few stamp sets together from Miss Ink Stamps for this one!
I created that background using one of my favorite stencils Basket Case, and a small apple image from the Little Angel stamp set. This makes such a fun patterned paper that you could use for any project, today I am using it as my card background.

*This is my second blog post today….scroll down to my next post to see my cards with Maker Forte Under the Seashore products!
Welcome to the CCD x PBP Collab Hop, a collaboration between Pear Blossom Press and CC Designs! Our designers are sharing the CCoolest light-up cards today, all featuring stamps from CC Designs and lights from Pear Blossom Press. Be sure to hop along and comment as you go, for your chance to win a $25 gift voucher! Ready to be inspired? Let me show you my cards…
I couldn’t help but make TWO cards, using a couple stamp sets and the same CC Designs die! (see VIDEO below the card photos)
CARD 1: May the Force Be With You
For this card I used the most adorable stamp set from CC Designs and combined it with the filmstrip die.
I created a simple galaxy background for this MINI SLIMLINE card. That filmstrip die is perfect for a slimline card! Then I colored some vellum for each of the squares…and that is what I put the light behind.
Just look at how CUTE this is with the lights!! (Check out my video below to see how to make this!)
CARD 2: Fairy Hello
For this next card I absolutely used the SAME DIE as the card above! Can you believe it?! One thing I LOVED about this filmstrip die is that they included tons of small images like the mushrooms, flowers, and grass! The “HI” sentiment is also from that die!
How cute are these fairies?! I couldn’t stop smiling as I was making this card, they are that adorable!
Now for the LIGHTS!! Look at how awesome the halo light kit is! I cut a circle out of the panel that was just a little smaller than the circle of lights.
Now, this photo might be a little awkward because I’m right handed, but how do you hold a camera, press the lights, AND take a photo with the right hand?! Lol. Let me try it again…
This photo is better…I shot it using my LEFT HAND, which is no easy task!
I have a VIDEO with all the details of how to put these together with those brilliant Pear Blossom Press lights! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Hello! Today I’m using some of the new stamp sets from the Under the Seashore release from Maker Forte. I have 2 seashore cards to share!
Card 1: Mermaid with the Blues
This card features the Ocean Borders stamp set, which has a beautiful seashell border, some great sentiments and this amazing mermaid stamp:
I stamped this with multiple colors of ink, first stamping the top section with Blueberry Cheesecake ink. Then, I inked on the next section with Icy Mist ink and I dabbed off some ink where the two inks would meet so I wouldn’t get a harsh line. I stamped that layer of the stamp.
Next, I inked on Blue Raspberry and finally Vegas Strip inks. (always using my microfiber cloth to dab off between the colors)
That sentiment is so true: I need Vitamin SEA!
I matted this with multiple layers: using Aged Antique vellum for one layer, and Eclipse Black cardstock for the next layer. The final layer of white is the 110# white cardstock card base.
Card 2: True North
This next card features the True North stamp set. I love all these images and the overall vibe they give. There are many shells and this really awesome octopus. I couldn’t resist stamping that octopus in multiple colors for the background!
The ink colors I used for the Octopus are: Vegas Strip, Blueberry Cheesecake, Flat White, Blue Raspberry and Icy Mist! Are you noticing a trend in my color choices for these cards?!
I stamped the anchor image in between each of the octopus with Fog ink. I used some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to mat the entire panel and added a few gems to finish it all off.
