Kaliscards

I you like sewing and kitties, @craftystampco released a couple sets recently which you will love. I had lots of fun creating this fun card, making a custom quilted background and doing lots of paper piecing on the fabrics, using a few pattern paper packs from Crafty Stamp Co. Sharing a short reel of the making on Instagram, as well as a more complete video on my YT channel:  https://youtu.be/Zeq1XJO3UC4 Products: Stitched with love and Stitched whiskers + Pattern paper packs: Lemons & daisies, Lovely as a rose and Crafty time (Crafty Stamp Co) Stitched with love kit (Altenew) Quilted hugs sentiments (Waffle Flower Crafts) #craftystampco #cardmaking #handmadecards #diecutting

For this card, I mixed some Spellbinders dies from last year with new products from Simon Says Stamps, Waffle Flower and The Greetery. I heat set the raincoat with 3 layers of clear embossing powder to give it a plastic shine and for the buttons as well as all eyes, I used Trinity Stamps embellishments. This year, I managed to make quite a few projects using my newbies before the season was over, mixing with products from past years. I realized this is what I like best as it is very satisfying to be able to use the goodies right away, but also comforting to finally use my stash. It removes a lot of the guilt and anxiety, I find.  See how I created this card on my YT channel:  https://youtu.be/2IXxO9zU78E Products: Shipmates and Ahoy, matey (Spellbinders) Weathered pilings dies (Simon Says Stamp) Reel in die (Waffle Flower Crafts) Making waves stencils (The Greetery) Sea birds sentiment (Sweet November Stamps) #spellbinders #simonsaystamps #waffleflowercrafts #cardmaking #diecu...

I realized I haven't made a lot of ice cream cards this Summer. This is usually a theme I like to explore. Ice cream is my excuse when the weather gets too hot, and let's face it, there have been plenty of opportunities this Summer... though watermelon has also been a good and better friend this Summer, because let's admit that ice creams are not actually refreshing (either too sweet or too rich), but they definitely taste like heaven! I made an interactive card, using a set from @janesdoodles, with a pullup feature. I realized when editing the photos that I actually did the background wrong, using the wrong side of the cloud stencil. By chance, it is fairly hidden. I put the blame on that insanely hot weather. I think I need an ice cream! Head over to my YT channel to see how this card came together and how I created the pull-up element:  https://youtu.be/Sqm7s13fzvo Products: The coolest (Jane's doodles / Creative Expressions) So many scoops (Concord and 9th) Interact...

A quick card with these cute @lesiazgharda_stamps. I even used a background I had created for another card a few weeks ago, before deciding on going with lighter colors. The dark blues seemed really appropriate for this card and I'm glad I saved that background and could use it here. I don't usually save anything from my cardmaking process and I rarely create spare pieces.

I feel I haven't given enough love to my @allifrazier and @teamspellbinders collection this Summer. Though Allison clearly made me want to make additional cards for Halloween, I wanted to use these cuties in a Summer card before Summer ends.

Summer isn't over yet and I'm taking you on a road trip with this sweet lady with her pink van and her adorable kitties. These adorable images are from @Craftystampco. I also used one of their pattern paper packs for the background. They have an amazing choice of papers which can be stamped and are Copic-friendly. What I particularly love about them is that they come with a plastic sleeve to store them and keep them organized. Each pack contains 24 double-sided sheets with 4 sheets of each pattern which gives plenty of possibilities to use your preferred patterns without missing out (I'm sure paper hoarders understand what I mean when you have only one or two sheets of a beautiful paper and don't dare to use it!) Also sharing a reel on Instagram with the main steps for this card.

These kitties look so yummy, don't you think? They are one of the cute images from the new @alexsyberiadesigns Sweet treats stamp set. To create the background, I used the new Clouds & waves builder stencil and an older stencil to create the waffle cone with the Trendy pattern set Alex Syberia Designs products: Sweet treats stamp and die set Clouds & waves builder stencil Trendy pattern stencil set Ranger Distress Oxides: Scattered straw, Tea dye, Vintage photo, Kitsch flamingo, Picked raspberry, Mustard seed, Worn lipstick and Festive berries #alexsyberiadesigns #cardmaking #handmadecards #diecutting
