Pull Up Card | Trinity Stamps

Ok, my first card love has always been interactive cards but I haven’t really done them in a long time because they do take a bit of time … even more so because I’m a bit rusty but this one is an easy one where you just need some foam tape. I love how it comes out because it works just like a polaroid!

Misti Stamping | Picket Fence Studios

My misti is probably one of my most important crafty items in my crafty arsenal. I love that I can use it to stamp out an even pattern for my cards, like this wreath! It makes it super easy and since it’s small, I needed it to fill up the space across the card.

Subtle Heat Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

I love border stamps — they make for a quick card and helps portion off your card. To make it even easier, just pull out a scrap, heat emboss the image and then add it to a card panel like this card. I wanted a softer color so I also added a strip of yellow to further section it off and ended up stamping my sentiment directly on. It was totally unintentional but instead, a happy coincidence!

Sneak Peek Kit 2024 No. 1 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 1 for 2024 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date.

For today’s card, I wanted to use all the items in the kit. I started off with using the Daisy Background Stencil Duo to create my background. I used it them on top of an 6×6 grip mat to make it easy on me, ink blending with distress inks. I used my shader brushes to really get colors in certain areas, which makes it really easy to get a dimensional look to the florals.

I really loved the font from the You & Me stamp set, so I wanted to create a little panel with the subsentiments but I also wanted to still use the large “you & me”.

I used the Layered Daisy die to add subtle accents around my sentiment. It’s super subtle but I love how it adds to it but doesn’t take away from the sentiment. If you want to see how this card came together visually, I have a video!

Remember to check out all the other inspiration of how to use this kit!

Ink Blending + Shimmer Splatter | Honey Bee Stamps

One of my favorite things to do is ink blending. It was one of the first skills that I picked up when I started cardmaking and it’s been a favorite ever since. Even though sometimes, it isn’t blended super well, you add a little splatter and you don’t even notice!

Shadows & Dimensions | Picket Fence Studios

Sometimes you just need some accents to really pull a card together. I used the Bake a Cookie Layering Stencil but it seemed a little flat as is. I used my copic markers to add some dimension to the cookie as well as adding a shadow to the cookie. It really makes it pop!

Ink blending with Masking | Ink on 3

Two of my favorite techniques are used on this card: Ink blending + Masking! Sometimes stamps just don’t come with coordinating dies and masking is my trick to being able to pair it with ink blending. Although my background is bold, I still think these elephants pop!

Die Cut Background | Trinity Stamps

Paper scraps? Die cut shapes? It’s a perfect pairing. I love that you can use any color you want and it works really well with any possible sentiment right in the middle! It’s a simple card and one you can easily mass produce and use up your scraps at the same time.

Custom Card + Sending Mail | Trinity Stamps

When I started making cards, I used to make a point of sending out cards for birthdays and I would customize it to the person I was sending it to… but of course, after awhile, I just didn’t have the time.

5×7 Card | Pretty Pink Posh

I tend to always stick with an A2 card but sometimes, you just need a bigger card! I wanted to use the Mitten Shaker die but what good is just one mitten? I wanted to use two and that required a bigger card. Also — it’s it so cold right now? How cold is it where you are?

Paired Techniques | Honey Bee Stamps

I couldn’t resist using hot pink foil on black… but I really didn’t want the full panel of just hot foil. I decided to pair it with some heat embossing for a super subtle background. It really didn’t need anything else except for a sentiment, and why not a lovey dovey one!
