Pink and Main March 2022 Crafty Courtyard Kit



Welcome back to my blog! It's Cassie here sharing the March 2022 Pink and Main Crafty Courtyard Kit called Black Tie Party!  This was a super fun kit that focused on the color black, gold, silver, and white, which is so cool.  I decided to add a pop of pink to a few of my images, and I love how they turned out.  If you missed the unboxing you can check it out HERE.

My first card was a flat shaker card, and I'm obsessed with these.  This is such a fun way to make a shaker, use up some old packaging, and have an easy card to mail.


My second card used the embossing folder right on the card base.  I love the simplicity of this one with all of that wonderful white space.


My third card uses some embossing for the fireworks.  Isn't is super cool that this kit has matching dies for all the images AND the words?!


My fourth card is actually two cards, and these are some mini slimlines.  I love making mini slimline with 6x6 patterned papers!


Our fifth and final card used the stencil with some Glimmer Paste. . .it's subtle, but I love it.


If you'd like to see exactly how I made all of these cards you can watch the video here or over on my YouTube channel:

Simon Hurley Create Bold Bouquet

 


I love doing ombré stamping, and this set from Simon Hurley Create is perfect for it!  It's Cassie, back with another card and video tutorial for you today.  This one uses the Bold Bouquet stamp set.  It's great because not only is it beautiful, but it also has lots of beautiful sentiments for so many different occasions.

Spellbinders Butterfly Card Creator

A Lunar Paste Background with Simon Hurley Create

 


When the creative process takes a turn and you discover something, it's always a win!  Hey friends, Cassie here with another card and video tutorial to share with you.  I started out playing with the Lunar Paste from Simon Hurley Create, and ended up getting something I didn't expect, but am so happy I tried.  That's what the creative process is for me. . .playing and discovering.  Sometimes we have an idea in our heads and then the end result is better than we anticipated.  That's how this card turned out.

You can watch the whole process here or over on my YouTube Channel.

Spellbinders Layered Wildflowers Stamp

 


I love simple stamps that can give you some amazing outcomes just by a little stamping.  Have you seen the Layered Wildflowers stamp set from Spellbinders?  It comes from their Into the Wilderness Collection, and I just love it.  This panel was so easy to create only using 3 stamps repeated over and over with different colors.


I did a little watercolor stamping, and I'd love for you to check out exactly how I did it.  You can watch the process here or over on my YouTube Channel:

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.

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!
