For my last guest designer card for @sandraspitaleri I chose to make a big mash up card with the Knife die and additional sets in my stash. I'm not a big fan of horror movies and Ghost busters is probably the scarier I can take in, but I absolutely wanted to use the Knife die in that context. I know there is a lot to look at on this card, but I'm sure you get the idea of what's going on in that scene. Products: Knife die, Chicken bucket die, Ghost hunters, Stay puft and Cloud layers stencil (The Sassy Club) Scary night word die (Whimsy Stamps) Basics torn paper (Carla Creaties, Craft Emotions) Center stage slimline die (Trinity stamps) Distress oxides: Scattered straw, Tea-dye, Candied apple, Lumberjack plaid, Hickory smoke, Black soot, Twisted citron, Rustic wilderness, Tumbled glass, Salty ocean, Tattered rose, Carved pumpkin, Vintage photo and Ground espresso #thesassyclub #thesassyclubstamps #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofins...

For my final Mama Elephant project, I used again the Twinkle Twinkle set which I combined with the Wish upon a star set to create this dreamy scene. Products: Twinkle Twinkle stamps, Wish upon a star stamps and Slim Film City Creative cuts Distress oxides: Tattered rose, Saltwater taffy and Abandoned Coral I started by die cutting the panel from white cardstock with the scalloped slimline die from the Slim Film City Creative Cuts. I then stamped all the images from the Twinkle Twinkle and Wish upon a star stamps. I also stamped the images on masking paper, fussy cut along the lines and adhered the masks to the panel. With a cloud stencil, I blended Distress oxides, starting from the top with a light handed blend of Tattered rose. I continued from top to bottom, creating a total of 3 lines of Tattered rose clouds. On the next 3 lines of clouds, I added darker touches with Saltwater taffy on top of Tattered rose. I then inverted layers, starting with Saltwater taffy and soften...

I love Mistletoe so I couldn't help reinterpret this amazing Whimsy blooms bouquet! I love when a good die set can be used in different ways and show good versatility. This is so true for @alexsyberiadesigns Whimsy blooms bouquet die set which you can use to create gorgeous bouquets or in my case, create some mistletoe. For the berries, I used last year die set Joyful poinsettia. Alex Syberia Design products Whimsy blooms bouquet die set Joyful poinsettia die set Sweet friend stamp and die sets Falala friends stamp and die sets Merry Christmice stamp set Distress oxide: Forest moss, Rustic wilderness and Black soot + Mica stain tree lot To create this card, I die cut the Whimsy blooms bouquet die set from different cardstocks: the bow from red metallic cardstock and the greenery from two different shades of green cardstock. I also cut the background panel from the same darker shade of green cardstock. On the background panel, I blended Rustic wilderness, Forest moss and Black soot...

For my last @freakincutestamps project, I had to make a Christmas card. Trixie was an obvious choice for me and I couldn't resist giving her some company with Pedro. Meet Trixie ! If you're trying to find her, just look for the coziest spot in the house, that's where she will be! But don't be fooled by her small size, she is a master at claiming all the room for herself! Pedro is so happy and proud to present his brand new home! With the assistance of his friends, he constructed it from the ground up. Now that the final coat of paint has dried, it's time to plan a pawsome housewarming celebration!

I thought it would be fun to create a fake hunting trophy with the @pearblossompress Halo light, a wreath and a cute deer. I like how rustic and cozy this card turned out and the lights bring so much to the wreath and wood panel.   Products: Halo Light and World's best foam tape (Pear Blossom Press) Floral stag (Simon Hurley for Spellbinders) Holiday wreath builder die set (Pretty Pink Posh) Infinity circle dies (Hero Arts) Shield layering frames (Honeybee stamps) Word plaques Christmas and Screw heads (Tim Holtz Idea-ology) Big holiday words (Simon Says Stamp) Distress oxides: Vintage photo, Ground espresso, Candied apple, Mustard seed, Kitsch flamingo, Rustic wilderness, Pine needles and Twisted citron   #pearblossompress #honeybeestamps #simonhurley #spellbinders #prettypinkposh #simonsaysstamp #cardmaking #handmadecards #cardmakingofinstagram #diecutting #interactivecard #lightupcard #lightupcards #halolight

Some big rats hare having a feast in the attic and this black cat might have an ever bigger one (or not!). I thought it would be fun to give a different twist to the @sandraspitaleri Ratatouille sets. Those cute rats are a perfect match with Azrael (Gargamel and the Smurfs).

It's Highlight day today @MamaElephant and we are featuring the Twinkle Twinkle set. It had been a while I hadn't done any watercoloring and though I'm a bit rusty, I like how soft it turned out. For the second project, I opted for a ligh-up card to illustrate the sentiment.   Products: Twinkle Twinkle stamps and creative cuts, Wish upon a star stamps, Mega snoflake cover creative cuts Distress oxides: Spun sugar, Kitsch flamingo and Picked raspberry Distress inks: Scattered straw, Squeezed lemonade, Pumice stone, Hickory smoke and Worn lipstick   #mamaelephant #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #watercolor #watercoloring #diecutting #interactivecard #lightupcard  

Sharing a cozy one layer card with these cute penguin friends having some relaxing time together. I used the new Smile more stamp set from @alexsyberiadesigns along with a couple more sets to help set the scene. Alex Syberia Design products Smile more Hog happy day (pile of books) Merry Christmice (cupcake, ladder and Christmas tree) To create this card, I started by stamping the slippers from the Smile more set and the small book from the Hog happy day set. I also stamped them on masking paper and adhered the masks on the panel. I then stamped the couch and penguin holding the book. Next, I stamped the side-table, the ladder and Christmas tree from the Merry Christmice set. With a ruler and pencil, I hand-drew the bookcase at the back. I then stamped the books, a tea pot, mugs and cupcake on the shelves. With a Copic liner, I went over the bookcase lines and set it aside to dry completely. I colored the images with Copic markers. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment above the b...

It's Highlight day today @MamaElephant and we are featuring the Little Elephant Agenda set. These elephants are the cutest and for my projects, I decided to create a baby welcome shaker card on one side and some cute postage stamps on the other side.  Hi shaker card: Little Elephant agenda stamps and creative cuts, Just hi and Cloud 9 creative cuts Postage card: Little Elephant Agenda stamps, Slim Film City creative cuts, Trim the tree stamps and creative cuts, My pet kitties stamps and creative cuts, Little agenda postage stamps and creative cuts, Feel better stamps and creative cuts, Lovely piggies stamps and Tab size greetings stamps   Distress oxide: Spun sugar #mamaelephant #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #watercolor #watercoloring #diecutting

Sharing another project for @freakincutestamps featuring Eddie and Hugo on a big postage stamp. How cute are they! Their big eyes just crack me up. Meet Eddie! This adorable little weasel lives near a campground. Every holiday, when people bring their pets, he gets the chance to make new friends. His ingenious strategy for staying in touch ? He gives his friends the campground's address and always makes sure to be there when the mailman comes, so he can snatch his mail before the campground owners notice anything! Meet Hugo! This cheerful little snail dislikes the winter. He can't stand having to hibernate in his cozy shell all day long, but oh boy, does he come alive during spring! To celebrate the return of greenery, he puts on his finest bow tie and sets out to explore the surroundings.

I'm sure you now think I'm obsessed with Recipe cards and I probably am. But as I chose to work with some amazing @sandraspitaleri Ratatouille stamp sets, I thought I had to make another recipe card. I also chose one of the sets because of that gorgeous pepper grinder (I have exactly the same one in my kitchen, along with its salt companion in red). I also used the Knife die which I think is just fabulous and so versatile. And of course, I added a few more elements to set the scene such as the tomatoes from the Burger N Fry die set and the wood spoon from the Cereal bowl die set. I also used a few other products from my stash to complete the scene. Products: Cheers, Little chef, Knife die, Burger N Fry die set, Cereal bowl die set (The Sassy Club) Cooking pans (Marianne Designs) Recipe card stamp (The Ton Stamps) Lovely layers: Herb garden (Honeybee stamps) Distress oxide Scattered straw and Distress ink Vintage photo #thesassyclub #thesassyclubstamps #card #cardmaking #cardmak...
