Welcome everyone! Today I’m over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog with a pair of cards featuring some great new goodies from the Trinity Stamps release that went live last Friday.

To create these cards, I started with a scrap of yupo paper and some alcohol pearl inks and did a little blending. Once that panel was dry, I cut it in half which happened to fit perfectly behind this new cafe cup die cut from Trinity! Meant to be? I think so!

I die cut an embossed edge rectangle from white cardstock and then cut the mug window from there. I used my MISTI to stamp a sentiment under each window from the Fa-brew-lous stamp set and switched over to my card bases.

While each base is created from brown cardstock, I decided to decorate them slightly different. This first one has leaves from the new Autumn Impressions stamp set stamped in dark brown ink all around the edge. Then the white panel is popped up with foam tape. I die cut a second white rectangle to put on the inside for my message too. Then I finished things off on the front with a few coffee beans from the Crafty Roast clay embellishment mix.

For my second card, I stamped the encouragement text background stamp in the same brown ink. I popped the white panel up and finished things off with a few crystal clear rhinestones.

These cards were super quick to create and could be addicting to mass produce. I love playing with alcohol ink blending and always end up with extra backgrounds which works great with this new die!

Hey friends! I’m super excited to share that the new Trinity Stamps Autumn Impressions release is available for purchase finally! It is completely slam packed with a huge amount of amazing product! Today I have a really fun card to share featuring a stamp and die set and a stand-alone die as well. Plus, it’s interactive which makes it that much more fun!

Today I started by stamping and heat embossing the super fun skeletons from Shake Your Bones on black cardstock with white embossing powder. I stamped a couple of the bows in green and teal ink, then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamped a sentiment from the set and cut it out as well.

For my background, I used a piece of patterned paper from the rainbow brights pack and cut it with the new star trio mini slimline die. I cut it a second time to get some contrasting stars from the yellow polka dot paper in the same pack.

Time to move on to our interactive elements. I adhered a strip of white cardstock along the back of the rainbow panel covering all the star openings. Then I used a small circle die to cut a hole in the far right star. I also die cut another circle slightly larger so it wouldn’t fit through the hole I made. I stacked 3 foam squares on this circle and pushed it through the hole. I removed the release paper and adhered my yellow star. Then I popped my skeleton up with foam squares too.

The far left skeleton is adhered to the star with foam squares the same way but the star is attached with and action wobbler. This gives you your shake and the right-hand skeleton gives you your roll.

Next, the middle star is attached with foam squares slightly off kilter for a little added interest and the sentiment is popped up on foam strips.

To help the rolling skeleton move freely, I added foam tape to the back of the rainbow panel and adhered the whole thing to a mini slimline card base measuring 3×6 inches.

Isn’t this a super fun, non-Halloween way to use the skeletons? I had so much fun putting this card together!

Hey friends! It’s been a minute since I’ve checked in. I hope you’re all doing well. I’m back and sharing a sneak peek today of the upcoming release from Trinity Stamps. Today I have a card featuring a new die called Moonlit Town and a stamp and die combo called Nightscape Scene Builder. These work perfectly together but also great on their own too!

For my card today, I ink blended a background night sky with distress oxide inks in seedless preserves, wilted violet and blueprint sketch. Then I went around the edge with distress ink in black soot. I spritzed the panel with water and flicked some gold watercolor on it for stars. Then I cut this panel and a black one with the embossed edge rectangle stack dies.

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment and ghost in white. I die cut some fog from vellum which gave me the idea to heat emboss my witch on vellum so I didn’t have any stark white outlines on a card without white anywhere. To fill in the sky a bit I stamped some really cool bats off to one side and started assembling my layers.

I added foam to the back of the black panel and stuck my vellum fog bits to that, then I adhered it to the ink blended panel. Next, I popped my witch up with foam squares. Last, using liquid glue I adhered the whole thing to a white card base.

Let me just say that this new Nightscapes Scene Builder set has much more to offer than Halloween too! These cards are going to be happening year round! It’s so much fun! Stay tuned for all the goodness to come to the store this Friday, Aug. 27!

Hi there! I’m over on the Trinity Stamps blog today with another fun card featuring the newly release Summer Blooms Papercrafting Kit. I just love everything included in this kit and have had so much fun creating with it.

For this card, I stamped and heat embossed the largest image in the stamp set with clear embossing powder. Then I came in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and colored it in. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out and set them aside. Here’s a look at the colors I used.

Next, I took the Modern Embossed Rectangle dies and cut pieces of the patterned paper in the kit. The red is A2 size and the frame is 2 sizes down from that and then 2 sizes down again for a bit of a thicker frame than normal.

I added foam strips to the back of the frame and adhered it to the background panel. Then I intertwined the floral images and added foam to the back of them and popped them in place.

I went digging in my stash for a sentiment and since I needed a thank you card, this one was perfect in the With Gratitude stamp set. I stamped it on a strip of paper matching the frame and popped it up with foam strips as well.

To finish my card off, I added a scattering of the jewel embellishments from the kit and then also added some to a few flower centers. I really love how this finishes the design off. It’s so pretty and sparkly!

Woo-hoo!!!! Super excited to announce the release of the first ever Trinity Stamps kit! It’s called the Summer Blooms Papercrafting Kit and it includes a stamp and die set, 4 Ink on 3 ink cubes, a special embellishment mix and a coordinating paper pad! We’ve been sharing sneaks all week and today I have another card to share with you plus details on a sale and we’re having a hop over on Instagram too!

So many things going on, we better jump in!

I wanted to showcase as much of the kit as possible so today I stamped and heat embossed the largest image in the stamp set and used the Ink on 3 cubes to watercolor them. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used paper from the pad and die cut a Slimline Modern Embossed panel. Then I took the next two sizes down from the same set and cut a thin frame from paper in the set as well. I used liquid glue to adhere these together and to a white slimline card base.

I used liquid glue to adhere the watercolored florals and put clear blocks on top to keep them flat while I switched gears to foiling my sentiment.

For this part, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer System and the new Big Celebrate Cut and Foil die set. I foiled the word Celebrate in silver on a white panel and then used the shadow die to cut it out. I adhered this to my card with foam tape.

For finishing touches I adhered a scattering of jewels from the embellishment mix in the kit all across my design.

I just love the bright and happy feel this kit naturally has and because of that how bright and happy my card is! Okay, now for info on the sale and such…

Hi there! I’m popping in today with a sneak peek from a brand new product hitting the Trinity Stamps shop this Friday. They are releasing their very first, very gorgeous, card kit! It comes with stamps, coordinating dies, paper pad, ink cubes and special embellishments! Soooo much fun!

For my card today, I cut 1/4 inch strips of various papers in the kit and glued them to an A2 size piece of a different paper from the kit. Then I die cut it with the largest modern embossed rectangle stack die. Then I stamped and heat embossed a couple of images from the Summer Blooms stamp set in copper and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered some directly to the panel and the larger image I popped up with foam squares. Then I pulled the “thanks” die from thanks senti-mini set and cut it 4 times from black cardstock. I used a glue pen to adhere the layers and then glued it to my card front.

Last, I added a scattering of embellishments from the exclusive mix in the kit across my card design. These gems are just gorgeous and I thought they played well with the shiny copper heat embossing.

On Friday we’re having a fun Instagram hop to celebrate the release of the new kit. There will also be a sale on the First Bloom stamps and coordinating dies when you buy the new kit too! Stay tuned for all the details on Friday!
