Happy holidays

Today I'm showcasing the new @yournextstamp Magical Moments stamp set. This is a great versatile stamp set as it coordinates with the new Winter scene ornament die and with the new Shaker globe die! And you could also use it with circle dies, which is the option I chose here to create openings in my front panel, which I then decorated with the top of the ornament die cuts. And as you can see, it looks amazing combined with the Cute holiday ornaments set, previously released! #yns #yournextstamp Magical Holiday Moments stamp set, Winter scene ornament die, Cute holiday ornaments stamp and die set, Dino-mite holiday stamp set #tsukineko Memento ink #distressoxide Cracked pistachio, Twisted citron, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Pine neeles #copic #whitepigmentink #versamark #wowembossingpowder #card #cardmaking #handmadecards #diycards #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #christmascard #christmas

Today, I'm sharing another card inspiration with the new Dudley's Christmas stamp set from @WhimsyStamps I don't often do light up cards, but the set has a Dudley biting in a Christmas light so I had to pull my @chibitronics leds and make this one a light up card.

Scary bears

I wanted to make a Halloween card with some of the new @clearlybesotted stamp sets and as I was deciding on details of the scene and background, it suddenly became a scary movie card idea.

Dudley's Christmas

The new @whimsystamps mini release is available with more Christmas additions! Today, I have a cute triple shaker card featuring the new Dudley's Christmas stamp set. Whimsy Stamps products: - Dudley's Christmas stamp set - Elegant ornaments stamp set (ornaments) - Christmas postcard stamp set (pine branches) #whimsystamps #whimsystampsdies To create this card, I cut two A2 panels. On the first panel, I stamped Dudley and also a second time on a separate piece of cardstock. Back to my first front panel, using circle dies, I created an opening inside Dudley's ornament, and two other openings on the upper part, leaving enough space between each circle to create distinct shakers. I then stamped the top of the ornament above the 2 circle openings with versamark and heat set with gold powder. I also stamped the pine branches and the sentiment. Time to stamp the ornament body on the second panel. I'm temporarily placing my first panel over the second one to position the stamp

Winter wishes

Today, I'm sharing another card inspiration with the new @whimsystamps It's snowing stencil. This time, I created a scene with the cute bunnies from the Bunny winter holiday stamp set and used the falling snow stencil portion with embossing paste and the hill border to create several snow hills with Distress oxide Salvaged patina. The beautiful bold sentiment is from the You're jolly stamp set.

Fang-tastic!

Another week starts and here comes another set of Halloween projects, this time featuring the @yournextstamp Fang-tastic halloween stamp set. Once more, I pulled my action wobbles and created matching backgrounds for each character. For the first card, I stamped multiple times the candy corn from the Fab-BOO-lous halloween stamp set and stamped a sentiment from the Happy hayrides Halloween set onto vellum. For the second card, I blended Distress oxides Pumice stone, Hickory smoke and Black soot and then sprayed more Pumice stone and Black soot, as well as Picket fence stain to create a dark blurry background. I then covered the panel with a cobweb die cut. For the last card, I created a mask for the moon with a circle die and blended Distress oxides Cracked pistachio, Lucky clover and Black soot. I then dabbed some Distress ink Squeezed lemonade and Pumice stone on the moon. Green is my favorite halloween sky color... so spooky!     #yns #yournextstamp Fang-tastic halloween #tsukineko

Merry christmas from the penguin squad

Today, I get to showcase another great product from the new @whimsystamps release. The Penguin pals die set is a must-have. There is so much you can achieve with the set. First of all, it has 3 body sizes, so you could be doing a whole penguin family like on my card or create deep scenes. But this set is not only about penguins. It has eye, mouth and feet details to also create chicks and frogs! So this is a set that you could be using all year long! Plus, and that's a bit of a spoiler alert, there could be some accessories coming along the way! So I have to confess, I usually struggle with stand-alone dies, find the die-cutting and assembly usually very long, but this set really makes it easy and I created the 4 in no time. I really love how cute they are Whimsy Stamps products: - Peguin pals die set - Santas and friends stamp set (sentiment) - Sneaking Santa die set (ice border) - SL Scenic countryside die set (frame) #whimsystamps #whimsystampsdies #tsukineko Memento ink #distre
