I’m back today with an out of this world card to share with you featuring some fun stamps and stencils from Trinity Stamps! Since it’s Trinity’s 3rd birthday, I’m sticking with the birthday theme as long as possible to keep the celebration going!
To start my card, I inked up a black cardstock panel with distress oxides using the space swirl stencil. Then I spread Thermoweb transfer gel blanco through the starstruck stencil and set it aside to dry. While it was drying, I turned my laminator on to heat up and stamped images from Otter Space to color with my copics. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out. I stamped and heat embossed the bowl for the fish onto acetate and die cut it as well.
Once my panel was dry I ran it through my laminator with silver decofoil for a set of fabulously shiny stars in the background! Then I die cut this with a slimline stitched panel. Next, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiments on black cardstock and used the sentiment strip die from Sending Hugs to cut them out. I added foam squares to my images and popped them on the stenciled panel.
I also die cut a silver glitter cardstock panel with the largest slimline stitched panel die and start assembling the layers. Using liquid glue, I adhered the silver glitter to a white card base, then foam tape to adhere the stenciled scene to that.
Moving on to finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the helmets and buttons of the otters and also to the little crater dots on the moon rocks and planet.
Such a super fun, otter this world card that I am excited to share with someone!
We’re just chugging along to the second day of Newton’s Nook June Release reveals and today is just a packed full of fun as yesterday was. I hope you’re ready!
Retro Sun & Palms Stencil
Summer Moments stamps and dies
Newton’s Seashell
Today’s products are so amazing and were a blast to create with. There are so many ways to use them all, it’s wonderful! I have two more cards to share with you featuring all these goodies!
I couldn’t wait to give this new Retro Sun & Palms stencil a try so let’s look at that card first, shall we?!?
I started this card by inking up the sun portion of the new Retro Sun & Palms stencil with dye inks. Then I smeared black glitz gel through the palms portion and set it aside to dry.
Next, I stamped and colored images from Summer Moments with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once my stenciled panel was dry, I trimmed it down to 4×5.5 inches and added foam tape to the back and popped it on an orange card base. Then I added foam squares to the back of my images and placed them down too. Last, I placed my card in my MISTI and stamped a sentiment in the upper left sky.
For finishing touches on this glitzy card, I added some glossy accent’s to the girl’s hat and unicorn Stickles to the seashells.
My family immediately told me that I just created myself on a card the moment they looked at it. I have to admit…it’s true. This would absolutely be me every day if I could!
Do you just love the little mini stamp sets? I don’t know why but I’m always drawn to them and just fell in love with Newton’s Seashell the same as all the others. I loved creating this card!
To start I stamped and colored the images with my copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I switched gears to get inky messy!
I inked up a white panel with distress oxides in picked raspberry, abandoned coral and spiced marmalade. I taped the seashell stencil to it and spread iridescent glitz gel from Thermoweb over the whole thing. Then I set that panel aside and picked up my waves stencil.
This time I die cut a white circle and ink blended waves with a teal ink. I also stamped my sentiment on this panel. Next, I die cut the largest of the circle frames and started to assemble my card.
I used liquid glue to adhere my stenciled panel to a white card base. Then I also used liquid glue to adhere my blue circle. I used foam tape to add the waves circle and foam squares to add my images.
For finishing touches I wrapped some twine around the left side of my card and tied it in a bow. I just love the rough texture this gives. It makes me think of a tiki hut on the beach. Finally, I added glossy accents to the seashell, Newton’s Nose and the water drops by the sentiment.

Who’s ready for a whole week of amazing Newton’s Nook reveals??? I totally am! This release is my favorite so far…EVER!!!! It’s packed full of such amazing summer goodies. I know you’re going to love it all! Today we have three new things to share with you so let’s get started!
Fireworks Stencil
Newton’s 4th of July
Buns Out
OH! MY CUTENESS!!! Am I right?!? Yeah, I know I’m right! I have two really fun cards to share with you today using all of these products.
For this awesome 4th of July card, I started by stamping and coloring images from Newton’s 4th of July and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I die cut a scalloped rectangle from Frames & Flags dies and taped it to the new Fireworks stencil. I carefully smeared glitz gel in brilliant blue and red velvet in various spots trying for a multicolored fireworks look. I set the panel aside to dry while I did a little more die cutting of the ground and fence.
I left the fence white and ink blended the grass panel with twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide inks. Then I spritzed it with water and flicked some watered down mowed lawn ink too.
For assembly, I cut down a piece of red cardstock to A2 size and adhered it to a white card base. Then I used foam tape to pop up the fireworks panel and liquid glue to adhere the ground and fence. Last, I added foam squares to the back of my images and popped them in place.
Finally, I die cut a stitched flag from Frames & Flags and stamped my sentiment. I used copics to do simple coloring on the open letters, trimmed the flag down and adhered it to my scene with foam squares.
For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to various spots on my images like the stars and dots and, of course, noses. Then I added little dots of bright gold Nuvo Crystal Drops to the center of Newton’s sparklers on the left image.
I really love creating 4th of July crafts of all kinds so this card brought me a bit of extra joy. I can’t wait to make new decorations for my house for the 4th this year too!
Next, we have a card featuring the super silly and awesome Buns Out stamps and die.
I stamped and colored this adorable image with my copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next, I die cut the Fancy Edges Tag from yellow and orange cardstocks. Then I inked up the yellow one with the Sunscape stencil. I die cut the hole reinforcer from black and strung the tags together with baker’s twine.
Next, I die cut the rounded rectangle from Frames & Flags dies from blue cardstock and inked up the edges with a slightly darker blue ink for some depth. Then for my background panel, I inked up an orange piece of cardstock with spiced marmalade distress oxide and spritzed it with water. Then I came back and flicked some watered down black acrylic paint on the panel too.
Last, I die cut a stitched flag from Frames & Flags and stamped my sentiment on the right side of it. Then I moved on to assembling my card layers.
I started by adhered the orange panel to a white card base with liquid glue. Then I popped the blue panel up with foam tape. I adhered the tags with liquid glue and then the banner to that the same way. Finally, I popped up my cheeseburger (Oh my cuteness!) with foam squares.
Isn’t this just too cute?!? Cracks me up every time!

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your weekend is going splendidly! I have a fun, masculine feeling slimline card for the dog lover in your life featuring Jane’s Doodles Dogs stamp set along with some other goodies from my stash.
I started this card by stamping and heat embossing images from Jane’s Doodles Dogs stamp set. I watercolored them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and then used the scan-n-cut to cut them all out.
Next, I used the Newton’s Nook Slimline Frames and Portholes set to cut the green panel. Then I stamped the Trinity Stamps Woodsy image on it in dark green ink for a little added interest. Next, I took the Newton’s Nook Slimline Frames and Windows and cut it from dark gray cardstock. I kept the frame for another project and took the squares it creates and taped them to the Miss Ink Stamps Pawsome stencil. I used white pigment ink to add paws to the squares. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on one with black embossing powder.
With all of my elements ready to go I started assembling my card. I added foam tape to the back of the green panel and placed it on a kraft slimline card base. Then I used tape runner to adhere the gray squares to the green panel. I added foam squares to the back of my images and added them to the squares.
Voila! Super cute card that could be used for guys and girls alike. Even for Father’s Day coming up depending on the message you write on the inside.
Welcome everyone! Today I’m over on the Birch Press Design blog with a process post on how I created this beautiful butterfly and floral thank you card. Be sure to head over there if photo process helps you out!
I started this card by just deciding to play around with the embossing folders I have from Memory Box. I had tried them before but had a hard time with the right paper and sandwich so they would emboss without tearing. I finally figured it out…totally worth the effort! The dimension is incredible!
I ink blended a panel with distress oxide inks in abandoned coral and dried marigold and die cut the eloquent butterfly layer A plate from it. I also die cut the butterfly basics solid image from vellum and happened to have a spare white body in my stash from last time. I used liquid glue to adhere the pieces. Then I trimmed my embossed panel down to 4×5.25 inches and switched to a sentiment.
I just love the handwritten thanks die set so I dug in my glitter paper stash and found a fun peachy-orange one to use. I stacked it on 4 white die cuts and then cut the shadow from vellum as well. I used liquid glue to adhere all the layers and moved on to assembly.
I popped the embossed panel up with foam tape and used liquid glue to adhere just the center of my butterfly. Then I also used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment and finished things off with a scattering of fairy jewels in the same colors as my ink blending.
So elegant and pretty! I love how this turned out! Do you like butterflies?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Happy Friday friends!!! Squeal!!! I’m so excited that it’s Friday and I can see the weekend coming! We have had a dreary week with cloudy days and rain bursts throughout and I needed a little happy and rainbows! So I’m up on the Pink & Main blog today with some happy and rainbows! I hope you like it.
Isn’t this piggy and his rainbow just the cutest?!? I love the polka dot background too! I think it add just the perfect something.
To create my card, I started by using the rainbow dies with my favorite “sherbet” rainbow cardstock colors. (If you know me, then you know this means we’ll be having 5 more wonky colored rainbow cards coming soon because I love mixing and matching the layers!) I used tape runner on a piece of copy paper and taped my rainbow to it. Then I trimmed it down, die cut a couple of clouds and glued them to the ends.
Next, I stamped and colored my piggy from Pig Time with copic markers, then used the coordinating dies to cut him out. I die cut a large sentiment strip the perfect length and stamped a sentiment from Pig Time on it.
I cut a piece of teal cardstock and ran it through my die cutter with the Let’s Polka embossing folder and glued it to a white card base with EZ Squeeze liquid adhesive. Then I added foam squares to the back of my rainbow, pig and sentiment banner and popped them in place.
Moving on to finishing touches, I added glossy accents to my balloon and star dust Stickles to the pig’s cheeks and the clouds on the rainbow. Last but not least, I added a scattering of Unicorn Pearls across the design.
Oooooo!!! I had so much fun creating today’s Miss Ink Stamps project! I hope you all like it as much as I do!
I recently picked up some of the dies that Miss Ink has in stock and immediately set to creating when they hit my mailbox! And it was so much fun!
I laid everything out on a blank card base to see how it would all fit and then set to work. For the die cutting, I cut the letters and words from black cardstock, then cut “there” from white cardstock an additional 4 times. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere all the layers together. Then I stamped my images from Punny Farm pigs and colored them with copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and set it aside.
To set my scene, I die cut a Trinity Stamps embossed edge circle and taped it to the Heirloom Bloom stencil. Then I used a couple of Lawn Fawn dye inks and blending brushes to create a sky and ground for my piggy!
Moving on to assembly, I used liquid glue to adhere the images to the circle, except the pig which is popped up with foam squares. Then I added foam tape to the circle and placed it down. I used liquid glue and foam strips to adhere the words in place. Last, but not least, I thought the design could use a little something else so I stamped and colored an additional duck and popped him up with foam squares on the bottom left.
Hey friends! It’s National Iced Tea Day and we’re having a fun celebration with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers team! A few of us have created cards inspired by this fabulously fine drink and we want to share with you! So grab a nice tall glass and sit back for some fun inspiration!
For my card today, I stamped and colored images from Pretty Pink Posh Summer Friends and Tropical Birds. I colored them with my copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I die cut the larger Scallop Diamond Tag from white cardstock. I went back and cut the bottom tip two more times from white cardstock as well. Then I used a couple of Lawn Fawn dies to cut the top edges of those portions – waves and a sandy hill.
I used Trinity Stamps blending buddy brushes to ink up the layers – sand is Lawn Fawn doe ink, waves are Lawn Fawn forget me not ink and the sky is Lawn Fawn mermaid and peacock inks. I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together along with my palm tree. Then I used foam squares to add the girl and her ice tea on top of that.
For my background panel, I used Lawn Fawn bubblegum and sunflower inks with the Trinity Stamps Waving Hello stencil. Then I trimmed it down to 4×5.25 inches and went around the edge with the sunflower ink that was left on my blending brush.
I assembled all the layers with foam tape and went digging for that perfect sentiment. When I saw the one in the Clearly Besotted Spilling Tea set I knew I had to use it. I stamped and heat embossed it on black cardstock and adhered it with a combo of foam strip and liquid glue.
For finishing touches, I added some glossy accents to the girl’s sunglasses and iced tea cup. Then I glued down a scattering of boiled sugar jelly drop hearts across the design.
Hi everyone! I’m hanging out at the Newton’s Nook blog today sharing a thinking of you card featuring some older products you might have in your stash and a cool design that can be adapted many ways.
For this card, I stamped the horse and horseshoe from Neigh and colored them with my copic markers. Then I thought it would be nice to have something else in the “scene” so I also pulled out Moo and borrowed the hay bail from there. I used the coordinating dies to cut out my images and set them aside.
I’ve been really into beachy, summery, happy colors lately so I chose 3 that made me smile and cut 1/4 inch strips. I glued them to a white panel and die cut the whole thing with the largest die in the Framework die set. Then I came in with the serene stripes stencil and blended a light teal ink on the lower left and upper right of my panel. Then I place the panel in my MISTI and stamped the first half of my sentiment in the lower right.
I glued one hay bail down with liquid glue and popped the horse, horseshoe and second hay bail up with foam squares. Next, I created a white card base and adhered a light teal panel to the front. Then, using the same ink as the stencil, I stamped the finishing portion of my sentiment and another horse on the inside.
Finally, I added foam tape to my framework panel and popped it on the front of my card and moved on to a few simple finishing touches. I like adding black glaze pen to critter eyes, then I went back in and added a white gel pen highlight after that was dry. I also added glossy accents to the horse’s nose and hooves and the horseshoe too.
Just a fun, happy, thinking of you card, perfect for horse lovers in your life or anyone really. It’s just cute!
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m over on the Trinity Stamps blog today continuing the fun birthday themed celebration by playing with a few stencils today!
I started things off by inking up the Good Morning Sunshine stencil on a white panel with a darker yellow toward the bottom and a slightly lighter yellow toward the top. Then I brought out the Slimline Layered Balloons stencils and inked the first layer up with distress oxide inks, then smeared Thermoweb transfer gel through the second layer. I set that panel aside to dry, turned on my laminator to heat up and moved on to the other elements of my card.
I die cut the Scripty Birthday words from white cardstock 4 times and glued them together. Then I cut the shadow from iridescent vellum and adhered the words to that. I stamped and colored images from You Lift Me Up with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies, cut them out and used liquid glue to adhere a strand of black embroidery floss from the balloon to the bear’s hand. Last, I die cut the reverse scalloped frame from the Slimline Envelope Builder die set.
With my panel dry and laminator heated up I ran it through with wild lilac Deco Foil for a layer of shiny foiled balloons. Then I started assembling my card.
First, I trimmed the stenciled panel down to 3.5×8.5 inches and adhered it to a white card base with liquid glue. Then I added foam strips to the frame and popped it down in place. Then I used tape runner to adhere the scripty sentiment. (I find that liquid glue causes the vellum to warm and ripple so I try not to use it as much as possible.) Last, I added a combination of foam squares and liquid glue to adhere my bear and balloon in place.
For finishing touches, I added white gel pen accents to the images and glossy accents to the bear’s nose.
