Smaller Images Background | Miss Ink Stamps

Most stamp sets come with smalller images and those images can easily be used to create a background! It’s actually perfect to pair with this stamp set for a fun card. I pulled out my metallic watercolors to add a little shimmer — it worked so well!

Glowing Lights | Honey Bee Stamps

I love glowing lights and it always seems hard to achieve but there’s some tricks to it. I do a mix of ink blending plus fussy cutting to create the illusion. It’s perfect for fall/winter cards as we get into shorter days and longer nights.

White Space | Ink Blot Shop

I love seeing clean and simple cards but they aren’t really for me. I can’t help but keep adding to a card to fill it up so it’s definitely my crafty struggle. I thought that if I paired the new images from No Shelf Control plus some more sentiments than usual, it’ll fill up the space. I actually think it does!

Mixed Media | Honey Bee Stamps

I can’t ever resist using an embossing folder with lunar paste because it just accents how cool the dimension looks! But with this snowflake folder and silver paste — it looks like snow and gives that very wintery vibe! I love it.

Sneak Peek Kit No. 10 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 10 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 used the Cattitude Die and Cat Tree House die main two die sets along with the Subsentiments Cat diecut. I thought both these die sets were fun… you can even use them separately if you wanted.

I didn’t get a chance to create a video for this one, but I did use ink blending and my copic markers to add some dimension to the Cat Tree House die. I definitely wanted to give definition and dimension to it. For the kitties in the Cattitude die, I used two copic colors. One for the base and a second darker color to add a couple lines of shadow.

In addition to the colorful kitties, I wanted to add some silhouette images to the backgorund. I masked off the top portion and used a distress oxide ink to ink up a night sky. I used two images in black cardstock and the idea is that there’s a window at the top of the card and they are outside in the night.
