Whimsical Stamping | Essentials by Ellen

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , Leave 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?

Embossing Accents | Essentials by Ellen

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , Leave a comment

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.

Shaped Mini Slimline | Essentials by Ellen x Mama Elephant

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , Leave a comment

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , Leave 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.

Ink Painting | Essentials by Ellen

Posted in UncategorizedTagged Leave a comment

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , Leave 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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , Leave 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!

Ever have an idea in your head and then when you start working on it, it already looks off? It always happens for me but I power through because I want to see how it turns out. Spoiler alert – most of the time, it turns out ok but you wouldn’t know unless you tried it!

Rainbow Watercoloring | Essentials by Ellen

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , Leave a comment

Here’s a trick for creating card when you don’t want to color. I’m not a pro at watercolors but I definitely can create a rainbow look, which is what I did here. I stepped away because I thought it was too bright but I powered through and created a card that normally isn’t my style — I kinda love how it turned out.
