Life is better with friends

Today I have this sweet slimline card about friendship. For the images, I paired two Crafty Meraki stamp sets released last month: It's playtime and Paws-itively yours and then added more images from previously released sets I used the masking technique to stamp all the images, from the It's playtime (kids and small teddy bear), Paws-itively yours (sleeping cat), Valentine (clouds) and Oh baby (large teddy bear), starting by the front image, masking it and stamping the image appearing just behind and so on. In the end, all images are masked, including the last stamped ones. I then blended Distress oxide Spun sugar, Kitsch flamingo, Picked rapsberry and Festive berries from bottom to top, using the My Favorite Things Cloud edge stencil I then unmasked all images and colored them with Copic markers. I also added some highlights on the cheeks and in the eyes with my white gel pen I stamped the sentiment, from the Amazing blooms stamp set with versamark and heat set it with white e

Is this merry enough?

Today, I am switching to Christmas mode a little bit, with this cute and fun card with the new Cat Do Christmas Two stamp set from @WhimsyStamps This is the second of a cute stamp set duet featuring naughty cats.

Perk up!

Here comes another Fall project @yournextstamp... For this project, I used the Minislim diagonal strips die to create this very colorful plaid background. And I then combined the Woodland cuties and Latte happy vibes stamp sets. For the sentiment, I used the Perk up and Happy hayrides stamp sets, and added a few coffee stains with the Coffee sentiment stamp set #yournextstampchallenge #yns #yournextstamp #tsukineko Memento inks #copic #card #cardmaking #handmadecards #diycards #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #minislimlinecard #fall #fallcard

Hey there!

Today, I get to showcase the new Dungeon door background from @WhimsyStamps If like me, you enjoy creating scene cards, Whimsy Stamps background stamps are just awesome.

Happy fall

I just love the mug sets from @PinkAndMain! Last year, I received the Mugs and Kisses set too late to use it, so as soon as I received the Cocoa for you set, I had to use it straight away.

Boo

Today, I have another card inspiration with the new Peeking ghosts from @WhimsyStamps Playing once more with the original shape of the Ghosts die, I used the Revealers 1 die set this time to reduce the size of the ghost over the car. I also used a few other products to create this scene.

Head-over tails for you

The Croton leaves are perfect for Fall cards too! Today I have this vibrant fall card with the Croton leaves and a bunch of cute critters On the background panel, I ink blended Distress oxides Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade and Crackling campfire. Once completely dried, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the To-tail-ly awesome stamp set. I die cut the two sizes of Croton leaves from white cardstock and ink blended them with Twisted citron, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade and Barn door. Then, to add more interest to them, I sprayed Rustic wilderness and Twisted citron on my craft mat, without mixing them, and randomly dipped the leaves into the inks. I reserved them to let them dry. I stamped and colored the three characters with Copic markers. These are all from different stamp sets: To-tailly awesome, Owl yours and Just quillin'. Lots of cuteness in these characters. Their size is perfect for an easy coloring

Trick or treat

It's mini release day @whimsystamps today with more Halloween products but also Christmas goodies! Today, I have a shaker card featuring the new Peeking ghosts die set. I modified the shape of the ghost, doing partial diecutting, to match with the shape of the hourglass and also create a wavy body end, with the Revealers 2 die set... the Peeking ghosts are great to feature in one corner of your card, but as you can see, you can unleash your creativity and do so much more with the die set!

Your Next Stamp new challenge: Scraps

There is a new @yournextstamp challenge starting Challenge #188 - Scraps Pull out your scraps and include them on your creation For my project, I used the Your Next Stamps Meow-gical caticorns set. I also created pattern papers with a bunch of stencils and distress oxides: Whimsy hearts, Snowballs, paw prints and cute rainbows. I cut the pattern papers into different strip sizes and assembled them with other color and glitter cardstock, to create a full panel. I then used the strip-tastic heart die set to create openings in the panel. Finally, I created an infinity shaker with  vellum, stamping the sentiment on the rear panel of the shaker. After taping my scrap panel onto the shaker, I added two of the caticorns from the Meow-gical caticorn The challenge comes with 2 ways to win: #1 – Would you like the chance to win a YNS stamp set?

Big top popup box card

Today, I have a fun DIY big top popup box card featuring the new Crafty Meraki Roaring good time stamp set and following a tutorial by Jennifer McGuire to create the popup box card feature   To create this popup box card, I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock 5 by 4 inches in size for my front panel With the longer side vertically (sides) and shorter side horizontally (top/bottom), I'm measuring the center and drawing a line in the middle. I'm then measuring 2 3/4 from the bottom on either sides. From there, I'm drawing a line from the side to the top center of the panel. This will form the top of the tent and give a triangle shape to it Then, from the bottom middle point of my panel, I'm measuring 2 1/2 inches and I'm drawing a curve line as shown on the picture. You can use the pennants die as a guide. This will form the top of the entrance. From the bottom center point, I'm measuring 1 1/2 on either sides and drawing a line from there to the ext
