Die cut cards are not really my thing — but Honey Bee Stamps has so many good sets especially layering ones. I decided to change it up a bit by not die cutting out of a solid cardstock but instead, I decided to do a bit of random ink blending to give all the pieces a little something extra!

I really love this card — I think because it’s travel inspired and reminds me of going on a new adventure. It’s definitely an easy card — I used different colors to ink up the stamp and it works perfectly for a border.

I really hated how my original card panel turned out… there just wasn’t enough contrast and you just lost the ghosts in the mix. I walked away for the day and came back to it. I looked through my stash and found some dies to work as a background for my ghosts. It ended up looking so much better!

A quick switch up of your stamp sets in your collection is a good way of stretching your stamps. This originally came out in spring and of course, like here, if you change up the background, you get a brand new vibe to the card.

Washi is a staple in the planner world and I have tons of it. I collected early in my planner years, buying pretty often and randomly. I put a pause on collecting more for a bit of time to use up them up but of course, that lasted only for a little bit.
I’ve grown more mindful of using my washi and I like to stretch the use when I can — on cards, on my planners. Here, I used it by cutting out the little emotis for each of the dates. This is something I started doing last year and found it really fun, making for an easy spread.

There’s a lot of uses for border stamps. Here it’s easy to create a background especially when you have a stamp positioner. It allows the ability to choose different colors palettes or you can use the same ink to stamp every line.

I used the same A2 Tree Frame Die for a Halloween card last year as a silhouette but I thought it would be pretty with a bit of coloring to create a wintery card. It works perfectly to frame this small gnome image. I love, love, love how this turned out.

I’m starting to really fall in love with these transfer stickers — they are so thin and they are easy to apply making a planner spread so quick and easy. I actually love pulling up the transparent sheet to revealed that transferred image. I, especially, love these florals.
I added a few lines to create a border for my florals to enclose them. I think it makes it so pretty and adds a little extra to the simple decor.

I don’t know why but although I’ve been super excited about 2025 and my planner goals — I just am slow out of the gate getting set up! Here is my planner lineup!

Trying this again! I started in 2020 but didn’t finish. I wanted a place to look back – it’s really fun to see what happens on the same day in previous years and the changes that come along with it!

Last week, I shared a card that used a similar stamping technique and it inspired me to pull out another background set to do some rainbow stamping. This time, I wanted to pull out a different sentiment and pop it up on another matted panel so the sentiment stood out a little bit more. I think if you compare this week’s card to last year’s Honey Bee card — you’ll notice that the sentiment was cut out from the background panel and it flows continuously. This one is separate.

Sizes of stamp images vary but sometimes you just need to fill up the rest of the space. Here, I used die cut shapes for the card to give it a bit of interest. I also hand drew in the frame to tie everything together.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. This Card Kit contains a lot of fun, pretty things that is so perfect for a lovey dovey card. I started off by stamping one of the layered leafy pairs using the Hero Hues Core Ink in Fresh Lawn and Moss on the side of the card. Then I worked on stamping out the layered typewriter with Intens-ified Black Ink along with Periwinkle, Deep Ocean and Granite. When it’s all stamped out, the typewriter is so cool plus it the card kit comes with a coordinating die! I also stamped out the sentiment on the piece of paper I insert into the die cut. I used Intens-ified Black Ink and Azalea. I stamped an extra sentiment in the bottom right hand corner on top of a piece of Azalea cardstock to tie everything together.
Here’s a quick video for this above card! Hope you enjoy it!
