Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Valentine Penguins. Yes, it’s January but I didn’t intend to make a valentine’s card at all. I actually don’t like the commercial aspect behind the holiday and firmly believe that you should always show people you care about them year round.
For this card, I’m using some atelier inks to do ink blending. They blend so smoothly and I wanted a non-traditional colored sky (mainly because one of my goals for the year is to go outside my comfort zone). I used Bee Sting Yellow, Sweet Petunia Pink and Peacock Blue with a splatter of water and Perfect Pearls all over. Also, I wanted to add an element of the sky, so I used the clouds border die, cutting pieces of white cardstock and vellum to give it a bit of interest.
I colored up the two penguins with copic markers and fussy cut them out. I tend to really like the no white outline look but you definitely can use the dies or cut with an outline too. They are pretty simple images to cut (one of the reasons why I love to mask and fussy cut with Gerda Steiner sets).
The card came together really nicely and I am so happy with how it turned out since, it’s not specifically a valentine’s day card but a card to tell someone they are loved.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!
Hey everyone! Today, I’m creating a really simple card, mainly because I didn’t feel like coloring but wanted to use some images. The technique I fall back on is just heat embossing and then inking up the entire image in one color. Check it out in the video below!
All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.
Happy New Year! One of my crafty goals this year is to use a bunch of different craft companies throughout the year, either just their products or a mix and match. This is craft company #1 that I’m featuring… Pinkfresh Studio!
It was a super easy card to put together using the stencils and stamps. I just stamped the Cosmos Bunch on one half of the card and then the other side, masking the middle to leave room for a sentiment from the Perfect Sentiments stamp set. Here’s a YT short to show how I put it together!
I loved this set so much that I decided to kick off my bullet journal using it … and here’s my first planner video that features it!

Welcome to the weekend crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring a freebie that you can get today, Hero Art’s Daisy and Bees Stamp Set, , over at Scrapbook.com. I used it to create a super cute card.
I stamped out my images from the Hero Arts Daisy and Bees stamp set and did a bit of masking so the ladybug could sit on the daisy. I also cut out masks because I wanted to ink up the background with some distress inks. Once my stamping and masking was complete, I inked blended using the following colors: Seedless Preserves, Stormy Sky, Speckled Egg, and Tumbled Glass.
To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock, using Versamark ink and Hero Arts White embossing powder. I trimmed it down and placed them on my card (it actually covered over a blending boo-boo I had.. shhhh!).

Welcome to the weekend crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the Ellen Hutson‘s new release stamp sets named, Pressing Thoughts. It’s a very simple floral set but perfect for lots of occasions. I shared a previous card that used the large floral as the main feature on the card (blog post for that card here).
All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.
For the background, I chose to use a piece of white cardstock and cut out a circle using Hero Arts’ Infinity Circles. Using the circle cut out, I arranged the floral images to create a rainbow wreath. I used the same distress inks to ink up a strip of all the colors and trimmed it down to a quarter of an inch and placed in on the top and the bottom of the card.
I placed the rainbow wreath on top of black cardstock and stamped the sentiment in the middle of the circle. I also decided to add a few of the Trinity Stamps’ Soapy Bubbles embellishments.

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Trinity Stamps sharing a card I created in collaboration with my crafty friend, Shanna. We decided to pick similar Trinity products to create a card for today. Check out what she created over on her instagram. We used the Summer School stencil along with some alpha dies. I picked my favorite, Graham Cracker Alphabet.
Using the Summer School stencil A, I decided to ink it up the fish using a rainbow array of colors: Sweet Petunia Pink, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green and Trinity Teal (all ink colors you can find in the Trinity shop). I wanted to create a full background with it so I shifted it and did it twice. I also trimmed this panel by a quarter of an inch, so it measures at 4 x 5.25.
There are some dolphins in Summer School stencil C so I decided to use Hickory Smoke Distress ink with a bit of Black Soot to add some shading. I decided to fussy cut them out so I can add them later to my card.
Using the same colors for my rainbow array of colors, I took another A2 card panel and inked up the sides of that panel in the same rainbow colors.
To finish off the card, I cut my own custom, punny sentiment using the Graham Cracker Alphabet dies to read “Sea You Soon”. I cut a piece of vellum just so the sentiment can stand out and added the dolphins right on top.

I stamped images from the You’re My Jam stamp set from My Favorite Things stamp set using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. Then I colored them up using copic markers (all colors listed down below).
Hi everyone! Ok, I’ve been really bad with keeping up with doing blog posts but I’m trying to get back into it.
Today, I’m really excited to be a guest designer for i-crafter today. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share my creations with you! For today’s blog post, I actually ended up creating three different cards showing off three different designs using the dies from the Box Pops, Flower Add On set. The possibilities are really endless!
YouTube process video; supply list used for this proect is listed at end of blog.
For my first card, I used the leafy die, which was so perfect for a simple frame design. I quickly used watercolors for the background and added some splatter. While die cutting the leafy die, I also took the interior bits and ink blended them with similar colors and did some die inlay.
To finish off this card, I used the “hello” sentiment from the Hello Flower die set in black. The leafy die cuts really make that sentiment pop!
For my second card, I thought I would use this really pretty, intricate floral die to create a circular design. Once I die cut 8 of these florals, I inked them up quickly. For the sentiment, I used the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Wiper Insert and inked them up using the same colors for the florals while creating an ombre effect.
To really have the florals pop, I put them up on kraft cardstock and thought they colors went so well together. The coordinating sentiment really tied together the entire card.
For my third card, I decided to use a slimline design and again only used one die for this particular card.
I took some watercolors and quickly created a rainbow background and placed each die cut in each color section.
This is one of those designs that can be quickly created for a simple and elegant card. To finish off this card, I used the smaller hello in the Flip Card Dashed Circle die set and actually used a gold pen to give it a bit of elegance.
I really loved how all these cards turned and hopefully, these examples gave you some ideas for the endless possibilities of this Box Pops, Flower Add On die set.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty day!
Hi crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring stamp set named, Woodland Littles from Hello Bluebird. It’s such a cute stamp set and perfect for fall.
All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.
I stamped images from the Hello Bluebird using Ink on 3’s Fadeout Ink. I normally like to color up sets for my monthly divider on instagram and I end up with a lot of images to use for cards. Then I no-line colored them up using copic markers. For the background, I used blended Fired Brick, Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey along with Ink on 3’s Twiggy Brown. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card panel.
My favorite part of this card is actually the empty trees that I drew in using a copic friendly pen. I love how it added to the scene and adore that the owl sits right on the branches.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you got some inspiration to create! Happy Crafting!

Happy mid-week everyone! For today’s card, I’m sharing a card featuring Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named,Sending Hugs along with Ink on 3’s Leafy stencil.
All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.
This card panel was light blue cardstock but I wanted to add a bit more color, so I used Ink on 3’s Atelier Ink named Peacock Blue to blend on the edges and really loved how it turned out. I placed the images on a sheet of vellum that I die cut using Honey Bee Stamps’ Deckle Edge A2 dies. I added the sentiment by stamped using Juicy Ink and heat embossed the sentiment using Artic white embossing powder.
