Hey everyone! I wanted to share some Valentine-esque cards in the upcoming month… I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s day but I do love hearts and anything lovey-dovey (does that even make sense?). First up, is this Trinity Stamps Heart Shaker. The stamp set comes with an amazing die set that allows you to get pretty creative.

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!
Happy Friday-eve! Hi crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring a freebie that you can get today, Doodlebug’s Love Notes Ephemera, over at Scrapbook.com (there’s actually two!). I used it to create a cute lovey-dovey card.
For the sentiment, I die cut the letters to spell love out of the Mixed Metals Paper Pack for some extra glitter. To finish off the card, I used some of the heart ephermera pieces to fill up the empty spaces. It’s such a cute card, and so easy to put together!
Remember to if you’re shopping over at Scrapbook.com, to add these two freebies to your cart.

For my card today, I wanted to focus on the stamps and inks. I stamped images from the Summer Blooms stamp set using Ink on 3’s Fadeout ink onto watercolor paper. Because of how Ink on 3’s Fadeout Ink works, you can blend on top of it and it will pick up on the colors you place on top of it.
I ink blended the entire background using Goddess Green. For my image, I stamped it using the same Fadeout Ink on Bristol Mixed Media paper and did some no-line watercoloring using all the inks in this card kit. Once I finished, I used the coordinating die to die cut out my image and popped it on foam tape on my Goddess Green background.
For the sentiment, I actually pulled out the Big and Bold Sentiments from Trinity Stamps, stamping it using Fadeout Ink and watercoloring it using Sweet Petunia Pink and Marigold Orange. To finish off the card, I used the Summer Sparkles Embellishment and sprinkled them around my card panel.
Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Trinity Stamps sharing a card using the Slimline stamp called Doodle Gardens along with the Scripty Thanks. I’m a sucker for florals and this one is adorable, perfect for spring and summer.
Although the slimline stamps are the perfect size for slimline cards, you can still use them for A2 cards. I decided to create art panels using the Doodle Gardens stamp set by stamping it on white cardstock. I went ahead and colored all the same flowers, the same colors so it would go pretty quickly. Once I colored everything in, I decided that adding black to the background really makes it all the different flowers pop!
Now the scary part… I wanted to use this slimline panel to create two cards, so that meant I had to cut this panel into half. Each half of the panel will be used for one A2 sized card, so I’ll get two finished cards. For each of the half panels, I trimmed them down to 4 equal panels and trimmed an 1/8 inch off so I would be able to allow spacing between them.
I pulled out two pieces of cardstock, different shades of grey and placed them in the middle of the card. Using the Scripty Thanks die, I used white cardstock to cut the letters out, placing the “Thank” on top and “You” on bottom of the colored panels.

Hi everyone! Today, I’m sharing two quick cards I created for my little cousin’s graduation (one from high school and one from middle school) featuring various crafty items in my stash. I love mixing and matching sets to achieve the look you want. Plus there’s a SALE currently for Trinity (the ballon layer stencil is from them) — see below for SALE code.
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 used the Trinity Stamps’ Slimline Layered Balloons stencil for my main background. It’s a freaking amazing stencil that I haven’t pulled out enough! There’s two layers to this stencil along with the masks, which have the etchings so it’s really easy to line up! I used a variety of Ink on 3’s Atelier Inks and used two colors to blend for each balloon, leaving some white space to create a highlight. Next, I took the Altenew Bold Alphabet dies to cut through the main panel I just created. It’s scary but I wanted a subtle sentiment that didn’t take too much away from the amazing background I just created.
To add a little bit more to these two cards, I grabbed the Pretty Pink Posh Congrats Grad stamp set and stamped the grad cap along with the diploma using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them up using copic markers. Finishing off the card, I found some star glitter and carefully glued them to fill up the white space. Aren’t these such bright and vibrant cards?!
Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Trinity Stamps sharing a card using one of the newer floral sets called First Bloom. Since Mother’s Day is coming up, I thought it was the perfect time to share this card.
To create this card, I stamped out four of the main flower bunch. This is actually a really easy flower to quickly color up. I used the same copic markers throughout (B99, B97, B95, B93, B91) to keep a monotone vibe.
Once I finished coloring up the florals, I arrange them all on an A2 card base. It does mean trimming off some of the florals but I was ok with it. I wanted to create an artsy look with a center focus. For that center area, I thought I would focus my sentiment on “Mom” so I pulled out my Marshmallow Alphabet dies. To really make the letters pop, I wanted to use a strip of vellum across the middle.
The vellum just really helps with the focus on the letters since the florals are a showstopper.
I just love how florals make an easy card for a mom or a loved one. They just bring such elegance!
