Love you Mom

I'm on the @crafty_meraki blog with this minislim Mother's Day card inspiration For this project, I used products from the #merakicheer releases: the Hug in a mug, Always in my heart and Mama bear stamp sets, the Birthday star mini slimline die and the Pagonimania slimline die To create this card, I stamped the images from the Hug in a mug and Mama bear stamp sets, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them. I cut the front panel from white cardstock with the larger rectangle die of the Birthday star mini slimline set and then ran it again through my die cutting machine with the Pagoni mania slimline die I then stamped the sentiment from the Always in my heart stamp set. I glued the cup on the front panel and then adhered the foxes with 3D foam. To create my card base, I cut a piece of cardstock slightly larger and taller than the front panel and rounded the corners with a trimmer. To finish the card, I glued a few Rouge Opal gems #craftymerakistore #craftymeraki

Your Next Stamp challenge: Polka dots

The fun continues @yournextstamp Challenge 182 is ongoing right now and we are looking for Polka dots on your creations For my second take on the challenge, I've made Polka dot lines to create the rain, using the Stitching hole die. I also used one of my favorite stamp set, Unicorns rock, the Grass edge die and the Puffy cloud stencil to set the scene   To create this card, I started by cutting my front panel the size of a minislimline card. I ink blended Distress oxide  Speckled egg from top to bottom, fading it out towards the bottom. With the Puffy cloud stencil, I ink blended 3 clouds with Distress oxide Hickory smoke. Next, I stamped the sentiment in one of the big clouds I then used the Stitching hole dies to create raindrops in the background, below the clouds line. Behind my front panel, I adhered a panel of holographic cardstock, perfect to highlight the rain and make it look like a rainbow in the rain! Next, I die cut the grass border from white cardstock, with the

Every day is a new beginning

Today, I'm on the @crafty_meraki blog with a watercolor minislim card inspiration For this project, I used the Orchids stamp set from the Craftober collaboration with the Colorado Craft Company. To start, I stamped the image on watercolor cardstock and colored the orchid with Karin brusmarkers pro. For the flowers, I used a purple and black markers, blending the colors with an Altenew watercolor brush. I also added touches of gold watercolor on the flowers. With the same brush, I watercolored around the image with Distress inks Antique linen, Frayed burlap and Walnut stain. Once dry, I splattered Walnut stain distress oxide over the entire image. I then used the Distress Picket fence reinker to splatter on the image, once pure and another time slightly diluted with clear water. Once dry, I used the Birthday star Mini Slimline middle die to cut the image. I then stamped the sentiment with Ink on 3 embossing ink and heat embossed gold powder. I created a cardbase slightly large

Happy Mother's Day

Come hop along with us on Instagram. We are celebrating the new Crafty Meraki mini release and it is all about Mother's Day.   I'm sharing two cards with a similar design, using two of the new products from this release: the Mama Bear stamp set and the Craft-a-round background die. I also added Gold and Rosy Opal gems. I had lots of fun creating this simple design and I just love how it came out with very different feels for each card. I think this background die and the gems are a very good combination for a Mother's Day card: I find the result very elegant and comforting! #merakicheer2 #craftymeraki #craftymerakidt #creatorshelpingcreators #tsukineko Memento ink #copic #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #onelayercard #handmadecards #diycards #mothersday #mothersdaycard

Sending happy thoughts

Hello crafty friends! Have you seen the new release? Today, I'm sharing this project featuring the new Crafty Plaid background die combined with 3 flora dies released in March: Penelope, Scarlett and Lila   To create this project, I started by die-cutting the Crafty plaid from white cardstock and also cut another panel of the same size, from white cardstock, to put at the back. On the Crafty plaid die cut, I blended Distress oxide Rustic wilderness, creating a fade out effect, using less pressure and ink as I blended from bottom to top. On the rear panel, I blended Distress oxide Shabby shutters. I then die cut the flora dies from white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Magnificent blooms stamp set on white cardstock and cut the strip with a craft knife I die cut the Altenew Fancy hello die from white cardstock, twice and glued them together. I glued the Crafty plaid on the back panel. I then glued the Hello die cut and used

Spring wreaths

 Today is release day @crafty_meraki! To celebrate, I used the new Always in my heart stamp set to create a circle shaker card. And if you remember, there was another beautiful wreath released in March with the Dream big stamp set. So I thought I would make a second circle shaker card.

Bunny kisses and Easter wishes

So I managed to make a couple more cards this morning. It turns out I'm fighting off a bug, not Covid, and I hope it is not influenza. Anyways, I found my motivation this morning in not willing to let another pile of new unused seasonal products. Anyways, here is a shaker slimlinecard mixing a @ccdesignsrs stamp set with a @simonsaysstamp sentiment die. The shaker bits are from Picket Fence Studios #ccdesigns Spring things #simonsaysstamps Bunny kisses and Easter wishes sentiment die #picketfencestudios Yellow and orange hearts and flowers, and White bottlecap flowers #tsukineko Memento Tuxedo back ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #distressoxide Salty ocean, Rustic wilderness and Twisted citron #copic #lawnfawn Acetate #3DFoam #heroarts Clouds and grass scenic stencil #lawnfawn Cloudy stencil #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #slimlinecard #sssigchallenge #diecutting #onelayercard

Follow that bunny! He has chocolate

I think this is one of those weekends without much energy. The week has been intense and I could only do with simple this morning... hope this is not going to be the only card of the week end... But as I received happy mail yesterday from @simonsaysstamp full of @picketfencestudios goodies I couldn't resist making this card. Picket Fence released some amazing big bunny ears stamp sets this year but unfortunately they sold out very quickly and I never managed to get one, but I'm lucky I had this #simonsaysstamp Bunny butt peek a boo stamp set which is the perfect size for the #picketfencestudios Slimline tall grass die. The sentiment is from the Picket Fence Bunny dear stamp set. That sentiment cracks me up like most of Picket Fence sentiments btw Additional supplies #lawnfawn Cilantro Cardstock and Cloudy stencil #heroarts Contour ink #distressoxide Rustic wilderness, Twisted citron and Salty ocean #copic #tsukineko Memento ink #card #cardmaking #cardmakingo

Your Next Stamp Challenge: Interactive

The fun continues @yournextstamp. Have you played along yet? Challenge 181 is going on right now and we are looking for an interactive element in your creations Challenge 181: Interactive For my second take on the challenge, I wanted to reuse an idea from last year with a different version of a maxi Kinder egg. The inside surprise is a shaker. In my mind, there is no good egg hunting without a Kinder egg... I'm sure a lot of you can relate. For this project, I used the Egg hunt and Sweet treat carts stamp sets, the Grass edge and Dripping goo dies, and the Puffy cloud stencil from Your Next Stamp To create this card, I also used the Lawn Fawn Egg stackable dies and frames. I used the larger die to create an opening in my front panel. I also used the same die to cut two pieces from white cardstock and  one piece from orange cardstock. I took one of the white die cut and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Dripping goo border, to create the dripping milk. I used copic

Sending butterfly kisses to you

Helly crafty friends! Today I'm back on the Crafty Meraki blog with a Spring card combining the Wingman and Wedding bouquet stamp sets. To create this card, I stamped the images, using the masking technique: I stamped the first critter on the leaf and masked it. I then stamped the bottom left rose and masked it. I stamped the critter showing behind that rose and masked it and then stamped the two other roses. Finally, I stamped the butterfly in the sky.     I colored the images with Copic markers. I then used Karin brushmarker pros to add a little color in the background.   Hope you like this project. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!   #merakicheer #craftymerakistore #craftymeraki #craftymerakidt #heroarts Intense black ink #copic #inkadinkado Masking paper #sakura Gelly roll pen #karinmarkers Karin brushmarkers pro #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #onelayercard #handmadecards #diycards #spring #springcard  

May your Easter be a happy one

Come on join this happy bunch of bunnies and chickies for a fun Easter party! I know there's a lot going on on this card, but I absolutely wanted to use as much as possible of both @sunnystudiostamps Bunnyville and Chickie baby stamp sets Hope you find it fun!    To create this card, I started by stamping all images with a Copic friendly ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies and ran them through my die-cutting machine. I cut my slimline front panel. I also die cut 3 grass borders from white cardstock with the Honeybee stamps Grass border die, to occupy about a third of the front panel, at the bottom, and blended Rustic wilderness and Twisted citron from top to bottom.  On the front panel, I blended some Distress oxide Kitsch flamingo and Spun sugar with the MFT Mini cloud stencil in the upper part, occupying about one third of the panel. I then blended Rustic wilderness and Twisted citron below the clouds to create the upper higher grass line. I
