Thanks for joining me again today! I’m excited to share a fun shaped card featuring Trinity Stamps stencils, stamps and dies. The coffee mug card die is from the previous release but the layered pine tree stencil, bear tree and have an ice day stamps are from the most recent release that went live last Friday. It’s chock full of amazing product that is so fun to create with!
To make this cute card, I started by die cutting my mug and then used the layered pine tree stencil on the background. Then I stamped, colored and popped up my bear with foam squares. For the coffee part of the mug I took vellum and colored it with brown copics, then adhered it to the inside. To cover that up I took the gift card holder from the mug die set and adhered it over the vellum hiding it and making this card dual purpose.
To finish this cute card off I stamped my sentiment from the have an ice day set, then added jelly drop hearts to the background, white gel pen detail and glossy accents to the bear’s nose.
I’m new to using layered stencils and this was so fun! I can’t wait to try it with other ideas like glittery snow on the trees and playing with the other new shine brighter stencil that was released too!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Welcome back! I’m sharing another Newton’s Nook card today featuring the Festive Fawns stamps and the new Ornaments stencil.
I can’t get enough of these sweet fawns. They are so fun to color and the possibilities are endless for card design.
For today’s card I used texture paste with the Ornaments stencil on red cardstock and set it aside to dry. Then I stamped, colored and die cut my images from Festive Fawns. I die cut a glittery hilly snow ground for my critters and snowman and started assembling.
I glued the red background to a card from and then the snow ground to that. I popped up my images, included my heat embossed sentiment banner with foam squares. Then I took ribbon and tied it across the top to finish it off.
For finishing touches I added Wink of Stella to the snowman’s scarf and the sentiment. Then glossy accents to the buttons, holly berries, and everyone’s noses and beak.
I love the dimension and different textures I was able to achieve on this card. It’s so cute and sweet with the Newton’s Nook images.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
This is a serious Happy Birthday to me!!! I’m so excited to be guest designing with Newton’s Nook for the month of November and today is my first post, on my birthday! This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time than to be able to dive into their brand new Christmas release and start creating!
When I saw all of these great images, there was no way I could choose, I wanted it all. This whole release is out of this world! Today I’m sharing a beautiful card using the Main Street stamps and dies and the Snowfall stencil.
Here’s a sneak peek of the card I made. Be sure to head over to the Newton’s Nook Blog for the full scoop and lots of great pictures! Do me a birthday favor and leave me a comment over there too! I would really appreciate it! And stay tuned throughout the month for more Newton’s Nook awesomeness.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Today I’m sharing this super fun interactive caffeinated reindeer card! I used the candy twist stencil on the background, assembled my card, stamping and heat embossing my sentiment at the bottom. Then I built my wreath, added a vellum circle behind it and adhered my reindeer. Then gluing just the bottom part to the card front so the mechanism still moves I lined up my stamp and added a sentiment to the inside too.
For finishing touches I added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the reindeer’s nose and glossy accents to his cup and slipper’s noses. I plan to add a Starbucks gift card to the inside of this, which fits perfectly inside the opening.
Make sure you also head over to CLC Fall/Winter Blog Hop to link up to win some awesome prizes. The hop goes through November 8.
I appreciate you sharing your time! Have a fabulous day!
Happy Saturday everyone! Thanks for stopping by to check out this super cute card featuring the newly released Unforgettable Gift stamp set from Trinity Stamps.
Mini back-story – My mom’s favorite animal is the elephant but more specifically she collects pink elephants. As soon as I saw this set I knew how I was going to color it. She hasn’t seen this yet and she’s gonna flip when she does. ❤
To make this card I stamped, colored and cut out my image. Then set to work on the background. Using my awesome new blending buddy brushes from Trinity I masked off areas and blended pink and red inks on the background, alternating. I splattered pearl watercolor on the panel and added a black strip to ground it. Next, I stamped my sentiment underneath and popped my elephant up with foam squares.
For finishing touches I added cinnamon red hots jelly hearts to the background, Wink of Stella glitter brush pen to the hat and white gel pen detail to the image.
This was a pretty quick card to put together and such a fun way to say thank you for that special gift you receive at Christmas. I can’t wait to color this guy in non-Christmas colors for an everyday thank you card too.
You can pick up the new Trinity Stamps release HERE and check out the BLOG for tons of amazing inspiration too!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
I’m thrilled to be guest designing with Trinity Stamps for their brand new Christmas release. There’s an amazing blog hop going on today with tons of inspiration and prizes to be won.
I have 3 amazing projects to share with you and the hop info will be at the bottom. Be sure to read all the way down so you don’t miss out!
This first card features the new bear tree stamp and shine brighter layered stencils. I simply ink blended my background, inked the stencil over it, then distress sprayed it. I popped my sparkly snow on the ground and my bear with foam squares. Then I finished it off by stamping my sentiment at the top, with glossy accents on the bear’s nose and fun embellishments from Trinity too!
This next card is completely die cut except the sentiment. I used the tall shaker dome dies and frosty snowflakes sprinkle embellishments. I cut all of my dome pieces with white cardstock and used copic markers to color them in. To make the dome shorter and fit my card better, I die cut it, then realigned the dome and partial cut the top again shrinking it down. This is a great way to get more life out of your dies.
I purposely made the front of this final card a little sparse because the inside is where all the fun is! This Do Re Me Ow set is to die for! These kitties are the absolute cutest and I feel like I could make 100 cards with them! Okay, ready for it???
Look at those cute kitty carolers! They are so fun! For this card I ink blended blue on a blue panel for dimension, die cut a hill from the top and then used pop up dies for the kitties to be attached to. (You could totally do this part with a craft knife though.) I stamped the snow from the front on the inside and adhered my pieces together. Then popped the kitties on their spots and stamped my sentiments. For finishing touches I added Stickles to the snow edge on the front and inside and glossy accents to kitty noses and tongues and little things like the candle flames, holly berries, lights and hat star.
Here’s a side view so you can see the dimension when the card is opened up flat. This is my first time trying this technique and I can totally see myself doing it more. It was so much fun to put together! And there is plenty of room for a handwritten message at the bottom.
Be sure to leave comments on all the hop spots for a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Trinity Stamps store. The winner will be selected from participating blogs. Must comment by 11/7 at 11:59 PM PT. Winner will be announced on the Trinity Blog the following Friday on Nov. 8.
Happy Halloween everyone! I love this season and this holiday. It’s so fun to decorate for, make things for and celebrate! I love seeing the kiddos dressed up, going house to house squealing and excited. It’s so fun!
I’ve made a ton of Halloween cards and treat boxes this year but I couldn’t let today go by without just one more. Newton decided to join me today for this fun witchy Halloween card.
I stamped, colored and cut out my Witchy Newton and set off to make a background. I took out my distress inks in the colors that matched the boot and blended them all over the panel. They were very bright so I toned them down with black soot and spritzed it with water. Then I die cut a circle and splattered it with pearl watercolor, popped it up with foam tape and popped Newton up on that with foam tape as well. Then I heat embossed my sentiment in white and popped my bats up with foam squares.
For finishing touches I added Wink of Stella to the band on the hat, Nuvo Crystal Drops to the boot’s buttons, glossy accents to Newton’s nose and the dots on the boot, and white gel pen to all the images.
Such a fun image and a simple design. You could adapt it to any theme at all. I think a Christmas card like this would be fabulous and so fun!
Do you celebrate Halloween at all? Share in the comments. I’d love to hear!
Be sure to stop by tomorrow, there is a super surprise in store and it’s going to be amazing!!!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
It’s our final inspiration day of the new release. I hope you’ve had fun and continue to hop along with us today. There are some squeaking good ideas to see! 😉 I promise!
Today we’re showcasing the new Merry Mousemas set and it’s super fun!
My mouse is slaying the slopes all bundled up in his cute scarf! I used the new Light Me Up stencil for the snowflakes in the background, then cut some snow hills and topped them with blue stickles for a glittery texture. I heat embossed my sentiment in silver and popped up my mouse with foam squares. Some small finishing touches on this card were Nuvo Crystal Drops in morning dew among the snowflakes, Wink of Stella on the hat and glossy accents on the mouse’s little nose.
For this fun card I used the smaller lights from the Light Me Up stencil across the whole background. Then ink blended distress inks and spritzed it with water for a distressed look. I die cut a circle from both green cardstock and vellum and glued them together, then popped them up on the background with foam squares. I also popped up my mouse and heat embossed sentiment. For finishing touches I added Wink of Stella to the hat, glossy accents to the nose and ornament and scattered some opalescent gems across the card.
This is one of my favorite cards from this release. I hope you’ve enjoyed the inspiration and continue to hop along. Keep scrolling down for all that info!

I hope you had fun hopping yesterday and got lots of fun inspiration! We have so much more to share today! There are two sets being highlighted – Hoggy Holidays and Merry Pigmas. I’ve got two fun cards featuring Hoggy Holidays for you. Be sure to visit the whole hop list to see both sets.
For my first card today. I simply stamped, colored and cut my piggy images. Then used patterned paper to create a scene and added a frame around these cuties. I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment and popped it up with foam tape. I added glossy accents to the piggy’s reindeer nose and some Wink of Stella to the other pig’s santa hat.
These two crack me up. I feel like they are piggy brother’s posing for a photo for their mom or something hilarious like that. I love it!
Okay, I couldn’t get enough of this pig with the glasses on so I reached for him a second time and decided to showcase him on his own. I inked the new Light Me Up stencil across the bottom of my card front and the added patterned paper and a black strip to break up the two and give my pig a floor to stand on. I stamped, colored, cut out my pig and them popped him up with foam squares. I also stamped and cut out my sentiment and popped it up too. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the piggy nose and Christmas lights.
These silly pigs were fun to create with! I can’t wait to see what you make with them too!

It’s release day everyone!!! Today we’re showcasing the new Love You More – Christmas Frost set and I’m so excited to share these super fun and sweet cards with you today. There’s a lot to share so bear with me.
The first card I’m sharing really was simple to come together and so much fun to create.
I started by stamping, coloring and cutting out my image. Then using those colors as a guide I grabbed scraps of cardstock and cut them into strips. I added tape runner to my card base and glued the strips to it, trimming off the excess for this cool striped background. Then I took the new Light Me Up stencil and used glitter gel on a piece of white cardstock. Once it was dry cut it in 2 pieces and popped them up with foam tape to create a sort of frame for my striped background. I added my image with foam squares too. Then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment, cut it into a flag strip and popped it up too.
This next card looks more complicated than it is and is so fun to give out. It’s such a surprise as the recipient opens each flap. It’s a tri-fold card.
Here is the front panel. I embossed it with a brick embossing folder and used some gray copic markers to give the bricks some dimension and shadows. I cut a rectangle out of the center and added a window frame die cut to the front and back of the opening to create my window.
Then on the inside flap I added a woodgrain floor with my sentiment heat embossed in white and my image glued over some great plaid wallpaper. 😉
Finally, when the recipient opens the last flap they get this great second sentiment set and whatever handwritten note you choose to add as well.
Here’s a look at all the stages of this card together. It’s so much fun and really came together quickly. This is the first tri-fold card I’ve made and I loved it!
