Pink and Main Crafty Courtyard Kit for February 2022

 

I could not believe that I didn't have any dragonfly stamps in my stash!  Hey there, it's Cassie back with another card and video tutorial to share with you!  Have you seen the new Pink and Main Crafty Courtyard Kit for February 2022?  It's called Dragonfly Dreams, and it is a stunner!  I have an UNBOXING of the kit, if you haven't seen it's contents yet.

My first card uses some colored inks for stamping that are also great for alcohol marker coloring.  Those Simon Hurley Create inks are some of my faves!

My second card is a slimline, and I loved using the 6x6 patterned paper on this one. Even though it's a slimline, you can definitely use those smaller papers on them.

My third card is actually a group of mini slimline cards.  I always enjoy creating a set of cards, and this one used the stencil in the kit.

My fourth card is a shaker card that uses the full front of the card and is so low profile!  It's perfect to send through the mail, and the results are soooo fun!

My final card uses the freebie that you get for being a subscriber.  It's coffee themed so I was all over it, lol.  So be sure to become a SUBSCRIBER if you want to get your hands on this little baby.

And here's the video if you would like to see how I made all of these.  You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel.

Spellbinders With Love Regalia Dies

 

Intricate dies can sometimes seem overwhelming just to look at, but when you start die cutting, the fun begins!  I used this With Love Regalia die set from Spellbinders to make this lovely card, and I had the best time mixing and matching all of the flower bits.

Brand NEW Simon Hurley Create Products

 Have you had a chance to check out all of the brand new release for Simon Hurley Create?!  If not, you have to see it all!  I do an unboxing in the video down below, and I also make this card you see above.  I'm so excited to play with it all!

I used the new Heart Cut Stamping Foam along with the Stippled Circle Background stamp to make my panel, and then stamped out the flowers and sentiment using the new Sketched Florals stamp set.

If you'd like to see how I did it you can watch the video here, or over on my YouTube Channel.

Heffy Doodle and The Greeting Farm Collaboration Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and The Greeting Farm Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!

My first card is an A2 sized card and uses lots of images from both the Flying High stamps from Heffy Doodle and the Donut Worry stamps from The Greeting Farm. I colored all of my images with Copic markers and even tried to make the girl look a bit like me with her gray streaks in her hair, lol.

I had so much fun with these sets that I made 2 cards.  This slimline uses stamps and elements from both of those sets, and I pulled in some dies from Heffy Doodle.

It's always so much fun to combine different companies stamps and see what you can come up with!  My scenes that I created just make me smile.  I mean c'mon, donuts being delivered via helicopter and airplanes?  Yes, please!

If you'd like to see a video of process for the slimline card you can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel:

Color Transition Stamping with Spellbinders

Good morning everyone!  Welcome back to my blog!  Today I want to share a card I made using the new Embroidery Flowers from Spellbinders Cardmaker II Collection.  I decided to do what I like to call Color Transition Stamping.  I'm sure there is another name out there for it, but this is just what I call it.

It does require a stamp positioning tool of some sort, and I used a Misti for mine.  I have a video to share of the process if you'd like to watch that here or over on my YouTube Channel:

Trinity Stamps & Artesprix Collaboration -- Sublimation and Stamping!

Welcome to a Trinity Stamps & Artesprix Collaboration!  I had the absolute best time learning about sublimation and how I could incorporate stamping into it. Talk about fun! I made several fun projects to include a keychain, a bag tag, and a bookmark. 

My first project was a Plastic Key Chain that I combined with the Big Bows Little Bows stamp set.

My second project was a Wood Bag Tag that I used the Warm Heart stamp set on along with the Winter Winds stamp set.

My final project used the Bookmark with the Holiday Hangout and Let Your Light Shine stamp sets.  We got tricky and used mirror stamping for our words to show up correctly.

If you'd like to watch the video of how I made these projects you can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel:

Be sure to head to the Artesprix Blog for more sublimation inspiration!
