Welcome everyone! Today I’m over on the Pink & Main blog with another way to use those new fantastic scratch off stickers! This time, I have used the pre-cut circles on the new, AMAZING fortune teller! She’s stunning!

I started by stamping and coloring her with my copics. Then I chose a mystery sentiment from the set to stamp in the crystal ball and die cut everything with the coordinating dies. Then I adhered one of the holographic scratch off stickers over the top.

To create the setting for my fortune teller, I chose a piece of patterned paper from Inked Oasis paper pad and cut it with a Stacked Oval die. Then I cut the next largest oval from white cardstock and finally a scalloped oval just a smidge bigger from black cardstock. Then I adhered everything together. Pulling from the colors of my fortune teller, I cut a card front from purple cardstock and stamped some stars around the outside edge. Now we can put everything together.

I adhered the purple to a white card base, then added the ovals next with liquid glue. I placed the card in my MISTI and used the images as a guide for where to stamp the “scratch to reveal” instructions. I stamped it down and then added all the images with liquid glue too.

I chose to keep things flat and not use foam like I always do so that there was nothing impairing the ability to scratch the circle off. It might not make it difficult but I wasn’t sure since these are so new. Better safe than sorry until I test things out a bit.

Hey crafty friends! So glad you’re here today. I’m sharing a fun way to use the Stamp and Die of the Month from Pink & Main today. This subscription is such an amazing deal and I have been over the moon in love with literally every single one since it started. It’s SO GOOD! This month we have s’mores characters doing different antics that are amazing to create with all year long. They’re so cute!

I decided to take the stacked s’mores and stack them even higher! I stamped three and colored them with copics before using the coordinating die to cut them out. I used a little EZ Squeeze liquid glue to adhere them together and lined the back with foam tape. To add a splash of color, I stamped the sentiment on teal cardstock and die cut it as well.

For my background, I cut a kraft panel 8.5×3.5 inches for a slimline card. I inked the edges with ground espresso distress oxide and spritzed it with water. Then I flicked watered down ink on it and set it aside to dry while I die cut the Slimline Plaid cover plate from white cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere them together and then to a white card base.

Next, I die cut the smaller mod rectangle from the Beautiful Slim Line die set out of vellum and adhered the s’mores and sentiment to that. I hid tape runner behind those to adhere it to the card front.

For finishing touches I added some clear enamel dots around the images and black glaze pen to the s’mores eyes and hands. Then I added Touch of Gloss to their cheeks for some shine.

Aren’t they just adorable?!? I love them!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m over on the Pink & Main blog today with some Christmas inspiration featuring these hilariously adorable gingerbread men from Gingerbread Kisses. I also pulled out the fabulous Peppermint Cover die from last year to set the scene.

First, I blended distress oxide ink in candied apple and aged mahogany on a piece of white cardstock. I kept the darker to the center, fading out to the edges. I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry. Then I cut the Peppermint Cover die from white cardstock and glued them together with EZ Squeeze liquid glue. I added these to a white card base and started stamping next!

These two gingerbread men in a frosting fight just cracked me up so I had to color them immediately! I used my copics to color and the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment, also using the coordinating die to cut it out. Everything is popped up on foam squares for added interest and dimension.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all three peppermint candies and stardust Stickles to the frosting everywhere. Last, I snagged some fun red enamel dots from the Musical pack and scattered those about the design.

Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s time for some Pink & Main inspiration using the recently released Poinsettia stencil. This single stencil has all of the layers to create a gorgeously inked poinsettia flower that covers your card front. It’s so beautiful! Today I turned my inked panel into a shaker card for added fun.

I started by inking the poinsettia layers with my blending brushes and dye inks, except for the center. Once I got to that point, I spread gold Glitz Glitter Gel through for some added bling. Then I set the panel aside to dry while I cleaned up.

To create a frame for my shaker, I took an A2 size piece of kraft cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine in the Woodgrain embossing folder. Then I cut a window out using a Stitched Arch die. I saved the inside piece for another card which is an extra bonus! Then I lined it with EZ Tear Tape and added a piece of acetate. I then, lined that with foam strips, sprinkled some Holly Super Fine Glitter to my panel and adhered them together.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Pine Boughs with the new Platinum Ring embossing powder and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I popped it up with foam squares and adhered my shaker to a top folding white card base. Then, to finish off the design, I tied some twine around the top in a cute little bow.

I love the glitz and shine from the different elements, paired with the rustic feel of the woodgrain and twine wrapping.

Hey crafty friends! I’m popping in with a little Pink & Main inspiration featuring the stamp and die of the month, plus a freebie set that you can still pick up! They go perfectly together and you’re going to want to snag them before the month is up! The main stamp and die of the month is called Winter Cardinals and the freebie is Winter Birdhouse. They are so adorable and I think they would be fun colored in so many different combos!

I started by stamping and coloring images from both sets with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I chose a sentiment from Winter Cardinals, stamped and heat embossed it on vellum with the new Cranberries embossing powder. It’s glittery and gorgeous! I used the coordinating die to cut it out too.

For the background panel, I trimmed a piece of Barbershop cardstock down to 3×6 inches and inked up the Blizzard stencil with white pigment ink. Then I swapped for the Random Dots stencil and spread Glossy Gel through that one. It dries clear with a fun gloss to it so it adds great interest and texture to the background.

I added foam squares to the images and popped them up on the panel once it was dry. Then I added EZ Squeeze liquid glue to the back of the vellum and patted it off with my finger. This leaves a thin layer to adhere it down but doesn’t show through.

For finishing touches today, I added black glaze pen to the birds’ eyes and glossy accents to their beaks and all of the holly berries. Then I came in with stardust Stickles to all of the snow bits.

I think this is such a sweet and fun card. I’m happy to add it to my stash of Christmas cards, ready for the season!

Hello again everyone. Today I’m over on the Pink & Main blog with a very fun fall card featuring new embossing products from the September release.

I started with a white panel measuring 4×5.25 inches and spritzed it with water. I placed it in the Leaves embossing folder and ran it through my die cut machine. After the bit of water dried from the panel, I added foam tape and popped it up on a white card base. Now it’s time to get messy!

Now, I cut a 6×6 piece of white cardstock and did major ink smooshing all over it with fall colors of Tombow markers. This type of play is so therapeutic for me. Color on an acrylic block, spray it with water and smoosh it on your cardstock. For extra texture and layering, dry your cardstock in between color applications. It’s so fun!

Once the panel was good and inked up, I placed it in the Fall Leaves Emboss and Cut folder and ran that through my die cutter next.

Last, I pulled out the Happy Fall word dies from last year and cut the shadow from iridescent vellum and the words from white cardstock 4 times. I used EZ Squeeze liquid glue to adhere them all together and arranged them with my leaves on the front of my card. Once everything was in place, the white letters were a little lost so I pulled out the amazing Fall Glitter paper pad and cut them out from the orange glitter. Doesn’t that extra bling and texture add so much awesome to this card?!? I love it!

Welcome friends! Today I am on the Pink & Main blog with a sneak peek of the upcoming release and it’s sooooooo cute!!! They knocked it out of the park again and I had a blast creating today’s card.

I stamped and colored images from the upcoming Christmas Squares set with my copic markers on pre-cut cardstock squares. Then I used one of the new Mini Squares dies to add frames around each one. Aren’t those little polaroids just the cutest ever?!?

For my background, I ink blended a panel with distress oxide in salvaged patina and evergreen bough, then I spritzed it with water and adhered it to a card base. Next, I used Stop Sign and white cardstock to cut the Plaid cover plates and adhered them with EZ Squeeze liquid glue.

After adding the photos to the design, I snagged a fun sentiment from the upcoming Pine Boughs set, stamped and heat embossed it, then used the coordinating die to cut it out. I added it with liquid glue as well.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents and stardust Stickles to something on each image. I love the added interest and fun this gives the images.

I really can’t wait for you to see the rest of the release! You’re going to absolutely love it all!

Hello crafty friends! So glad you’re here today. I’m sharing this fun fall card over on the Pink & Main blog today. I love that they have the empty snow globe stamps and dies but so many add-ons to create snow globe scenes all year long too!

I started by stamping the empty snow globe image and the cute fox with his wheelbarrow from Fall Snow Globe Scenes and colored them with my copics. After coloring, I stamped a sentiment on the bottom of the snow globe. This helps with potential smearing when blending that section of coloring. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and added the fox to the snow globe with foam squares.

I wanted a texture filled background so I started with an A2 panel of white cardstock and layered the Leafy stencil over top. I inked it up with red, yellow and brown dye inks using my blending brushes. I removed the stencil and layered a Reverse Scallop Rectangle along with two Wreath Base 2 die cuts – one from kraft and another from vellum.

I layered the snow globe on top of it all with foam tape and wrapped twine around the left side of the panel before adhering it all to a white card base.

Summer is hanging on where I live but I’m very ready for fall so creating cards like this and decorating early have been extra fun!
