Happy Birthday

My niece turned 15 a few days ago and I made her a birthday light up card with the @pearblossompress Candle light and cute kitties from @sunnystudiostamps. I'm sure she found the card very baby-ish, but that's the age she probably finds everything lame, so... why not cute kitties!

Bee happy

I thought I had the best iris die set in my stash and I can't even say this is my preferred flower on a general note, but when I saw this @altenew die set, I just couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was already promising in my cart and I am not disappointed! For a less classic look, I paired it with the cute @teamspellbinders bee that was in the 2024 advent calendar.

Get your coffee fix

I am back guest designing on the  Coffee Loving Papercrafters  blog today with a one layer card.  If you are interested in the masking technique, I share lots of tips on this post. And I also have a reel on my Instagram feed if you want to see it all in action. Products: Coffee shop DP ( The Rabbit Hole ) Coffee friends, Holiday office party and Cocoa party ( Hello Bluebird stamps ) Coffee break ( My Favorite Things ) To create this card, I cut two panels of 3.75 by 6.5" from white cardstock. I'll use one of them as a template to help me position stamps with precision. I always use that technique for complex or intricate layering. It is also a great tip for anyone starting their journey with the masking technique, as it is really helpful to see in what order you should stamp each image. I started by stamping all the images from rear to front, but when I'll move to the actual stamping on the final panel, I'll do just the opposite, masking front images first, masking the...

A bouquet of happiness, just for you

Today, I'm sharing another @alexsyberiadesigns floral card featuring the From our hearts stamp set. Alex Syberia Design products: From our hearts Penguin love Heart garland die To create this card, I stamped the largest of the two flowers from the From our hearts set, 5 times, using the masking technique. I started by the top middle flower, then masked it before stamping the two on either sides. I then masked the two flowers and stamped the left flower right below the first row, masked it and stamped the right one. I moved the masks to protect the last flower and stamped the leaves. I then fussy cut the image. Next, I stamped the small flower and two more leaves on a piece of cardstock. I also stamped the penguin from the Penguin Love set and the sentiment. I colored all the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies for the Penguin Love and From our Hearts images and sentiment. I also die cut the Heart garland cover die from white cardstock and adhered it onto the ca...
