Using Sentiments for a Scene | Essentials by Ellen

August 31, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Birthday Card, Essentials by EllenLeave a comment

I kinda love bold sentiments. Not only do they fill up your card, you definitely can use them to create a scene. Here, I used them to set up a bit of a staircase scene for this birthday card. Be sure to stop by Ellen Hutson to shop these sets because Ellen is retiring and closing up her shop! Once these are gone, they are gone.

Again — late to another monthly set up but I wanted something quick an easy this week, minimal coloring because it’s going to be a busy one. I love this stamp set because it has doodle images along with a coordinating solid stamp to quick “color” it in.

Got any mini inks? Have you tried to swipe them to create a background? It’s one of the easiest techniques to create an easy background and you don’t have to be precise… the swipes add to the quirk!

Whimsical Stamping | Essentials by Ellen

May 3, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Essentials by Ellen, StampingLeave a comment

Doodles — they are always fun because it’s not about perfection, it’s just for fun. This stamp set is a great example of that and it also comes with the solids so you can easily color it up. Stamping doesn’t have to be perfect and honestly, it’s better that it’s not — it’s whimsical and fun! Don’t you think?

If you follow me, you know I’m not big on simple cards. I tend to over add and include a ton of coloring. However, sometimes you just need a quick and easy birthday card. Even then, I couldn’t resist but add a little extra on this card by using embossing powder.

I wanted to make this card since this Mama Elephant set came out but never had the time. I finally was able to make the time and I was so happy with how it turned out. Of course, what’s making a card without some hiccups? I didn’t realize the die for the house cut out the windows as well. Don’t worry! I figured it out!

Card for Cat Lovers & Bookworms | Ellen Hutson x Waffle Flower

March 12, 2023Posted in UncategorizedTagged Ellen Hutson, Essentials by Ellen, Interactive Card, Waffle FlowerLeave a comment

I’ve said it many times before, I love mixing and matching all the sets. It just provides you with more ways to stretch your stamps and gives you all the possibilities! I had this Ellen Hutson set, which I love since I love the library nostalgia but no book related sets until I pulled out my Waffle Flower A Little Help stamp set. It came together so perfectly.

Did you wonder how I stamped out this large sentiment? It’s such a cool technique that I’ve kept in the back of my mind for awhile and I’m not sure why I waited so long. It’s super easy and the result is really cool!

Monotone Card | Essentials by Ellen

December 12, 2022Posted in UncategorizedTagged Essentials by Ellen, Ink BlendingLeave a comment

Here’s a super easy idea for a monotone card with a bit of ink blending to add something extra to it. No coloring required and it makes for easy mass production. Also, this set works so perfectly because it doesn’t need to be a Christmas card, just a winter one.

Paper Piecing | Essentials by Ellen

November 11, 2022Posted in UncategorizedTagged Essentials by Ellen, Paper Piecing, StampingLeave a comment

When I first saw the North Pole Greetings Stamp set, I immediately thought of a postcard. I also thought about the fun patterns that you can color up the letters with. I’m terrible at that, so I rummaged around and pulled out a pack of holiday patterned paper and it was perfect — plus even better, I had scraps which I used for the main sentiment!
