Hello! Today I have a video up comparing the white Glitz Glitter Gel with the Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel. I am a part of the Save the Craft YouTubers Video Hop, with lots of prizes to be won (on every channel of the hop)!
I am also making a couple cards with the cutest Lawn Fawn images….and I’m giving away this stamp set! Check out the video below or on YouTube:
It’s a fun look at the differences between the gels on both black & white cardstock AND on a couple cards.
I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by

Hello! Today I’m excited to share three cards using the same stamp set. This set is from Gina K Designs and it’s called Woodland Whimsy. It’s a charming set filled with beautiful flowers and a hanging rod…so many possibilities!
The first card I made uses a beautiful sentiment from the set that says “Everything I am, You helped me to be.” I first wanted a rainbow of sentiments down the card, and it turned into this happy card:
The most important thing for this card, is to mask those flowers and leave a good sized white border. Then the inking is the easy part! I have a video showing you all the cards I made today.
Watch how they all came together in the video below, or in HD on YouTube:
For my second card, I was excited to use that hanging dowel. It made me think of when I used to dry flowers by hanging them upside down, and that is how this card was inspired!
You are remarkable!
I inked the background with that hanging dowel masked off. Then I added some green leaves to the background. The flowers and sentiment are popped up with foam tape to give this a 3D look. I added those topaz gem stones for some fun glamour!
My last card came into existence because I had FIVE flowers leftover that I had already colored. So of course I needed to create another card! So I die cut a simple thank you, inked up my favorite Gina K stencil, and created this thank you card.
One of these flowers is the one I stamped with ink, and the other four are colored with Copics. Can you guess which ones?!
I just love that there are solid stamps that give you the option of inking the flowers (or just coloring them yourself). You still get a great result!

Hi again! Today I have a sweet little Valentine card for a friend. I used the Gina K Design Wreath builder to stamp this sweet little bird four times to create a circle. The bird is from a cute little set I got from Gina K at Creativation called “All You Need is Love”. (Thank you, Gina!)
Originally, I was going to color the birds like a little robin and I started out with the red Copics, but then I thought I’d go all out for Valentines! Why not? Pink birds are fun, right? 🙂
The sentiment is also from that sweet bird set called “All You Need is Love.”
I die cut the word “Friend” from satin mirror cardstock from Tonic. It’s my new favorite paper! It’s not super shiny because of the satin finish, but it has a sheen to it that is just lovely! It’s difficult to get the effect in a photo. Here’s a close up:
The little “feather” the bird is carrying is actually a branch from the Holiday Wreath Builder stamp set and is stamped with Catherine Pooler ink in Party Dress (love that color!) I thought this branch really did look like a feather! How perfect for my card.
Isn’t this a fun little Valentine for your favorite girlfriend?
To finish up this card, I matted the bird wreath onto black paper and then grey paper and adhered it all onto a white 110# card base.
I hope you enjoyed this project today! Happy Valentine’s day….tomorrow!
