These new sets will be available next week on July 15th! I will link everything as soon as it releases.

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.
Hello! Today I’m excited to share some techniques to get two cards for the price of one! I’m using some new products from Miss Ink Stamps, including the adorable Highland Cows stamp set.
Just how cute are those Highland cows!!? I just love them.
To start, I used a fun stencil technique, where you ink on a light color, then move the stencil a bit and ink on a darker color. For the first card I used a light green then moved the stencil and used a darker green over the top. On the darker cardstock (Desert Storm cardstock) I used WHITE PIGMENT INK first, then inked on Pine Needles Distress Oxide over the top after shifting the stencil a little. This creates a real POP in the color! Try this with any dark cardstock and white pigment ink…then a darker shade of Oxide over the top.
Once the stenciling was done and the ink was completely dry, I die cut the “HI” sentiment out of both cardstock pieces in approximately the same place. Then, you can switch the sentiments, add the shadow die and glue them back on top of where you cut that HI out of the panel! Such a fun technique and allows you to create 2 cards so fast!
That Hi Swirl Frame die set also includes all these beautiful flowers and leaves. I layered some up and created a spray of flowers for one card, and a small splash of flowers on the other card.

Hello, today I’m excited to share a video and how I Copic colored an Appaloosa. I was so happy to see this new stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps, and I chose 3 of my favorite images to create this card today.
I loved creating this ink blended sunset background for this card. I show you just how I did it using Masking Magic paper in my video.
I used the new EIEIO placement guide stencil for lining up those alpha dies, and boy is it cool!! You have to check out their new placement guides!

Hello! Today I have a bit of a different card share…What if you Found an Ogre in the Bathroom? That’s exactly the scene I created here using some new stamps from Miss Ink Stamps.
This is a fun card to create, using some fun techniques. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
I share a story in this video that you MIGHT NOT believe! LOL. I almost couldn’t believe it myself. I hope you’ll go watch and see what I’m talking about.
For the wallpaper, I used the flowery layering stencil (all supplies listed below for you) and I do think it’s the PERFECT bathroom wallpaper! I wanted a sort of beadboard look for the lower part of the wall, so I just created my own.
The tile floor is made with another one of my favorite stencils: the Wonky Checker stencil. I love that this brown tile perfectly brings out the brown trousers of the ogre!
I have to say, this card makes me laugh. It’s so silly! I used the images all from the Misery Loves Company stamp set, and added one sentiment from the Rainbows & Sunshine stamp set.
