Fall 2020 New Release – Sneak Peek Day 4

Hi everyone! Let’s continue on with our Sneak Peeks! Today’s card is made with some of my favourite products from this release.

I created this due-tone floral graphics on my card. I ink blended this using Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks on a single stencil! I find this type of overlaid patterns to be very intriguing!

And I’m delighted to say that this complex yet elegant design wouldn’t have been possible without our new tool! Stick around to find out more!

The stamped image in the centre is also from our new release. I love that this 3D image creates a the vision of having scripty fonts engraved onto a black sphere.

To finish off this card, I added some bright yellow enamel dots to give it a contrasting color! I hope you like today’s card! Stay close for our Reveal & Inspiration Chapter which begins next Wednesday 9 Sep!

Fall 2020 New Release – Sneak Peek Day 3

Hello crafty friends! It’s Day 3 of Sneak Peeks. I love CAS (clean and simple) compositions and today’s card is one of definitely one of those!

I created the geometric patterns on this card using distress oxides on stencils. Stick around to find out more on how I created these multi-coloured patterns with ease (without any masking)!

The scripty stamped image “Thanks a million” is from our new release. I used ‘Crown Me’ dye ink by Simon Hurley Create. I love the vibrant purple which goes very well with the violet on the card. I used the coordinating die to die cut the image and adhere it with foam tape for some added dimension.

This card is a little larger than the normal size cards. I adhered two layers of base to make two thin 1/8″ borders, using Cool Metallic – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock (Double-Sided) and The Sandstone Series – Princess Decor – Premium Fine Paper. I thought these colors match great with the design. The final card measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″.

I hope you enjoy today’s sneak peek. Don’t forget that Reveal & Inspiration Chapter begins on 9 Sep with great giveaways so don’t go away!

Fall 2020 New Release – Sneak Peek Day 2

Hi guys! We’d thrilled to continue on with our Sneak Peeks! Today I’ve for you another card which is on the more feminine side.

This time I wanted to create a floral card. We’ve all tried using stamps to do flowers or wreaths. What if I told you that these overlapping petals and layering were all ink blended using stencils? Interested in giving that a try?

The sentiment you see inside this card is from one of the stamp sets in this release. I’ve always loved the elegant style of scripty handwritten fonts, especially for longer sentiments like this one.

Whereas on the front of the card, I chose the sentiment, “My Deepest Gratitude”. This is a clean and modern sans-serif typeface that I also love. I also used up some scrap cardstocks I had in my stash, Splendorlux Argento – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock and The Sandstone Series – Lavender Field – Premium Fine Paper, to create the bold strips to give it a nice definition between the graphics and the sentiment.

This card is for all you super moms out there! I hope you like today’s sneak peek. Don’t forget that Reveal & Inspiration Chapter begins on 9 Sep with great giveaways so stay with us!

Congrats on a New Home!

Hi guys! An early Happy British Columbia Day to all! As a Canadian shop, we’re celebrating this special day with a 15% OFF sitewide, today and tomorrow!

Today I have a card for you featuring multiple stamps and dies from different releases!

To set the scene, I used the body of the Home Sweet Home stand-alone die cut on The Sandstone Series – Cool Granite – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock. I blended Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink onto it for some added shadowing. I then cut out the roof using the Mysterious Galaxy – Medium Weight Premium Cardstock. This cardstock has a subtle shimmer to it and I like it a lot for the roof!

I took some patterned paper and The Sandstone Series – Banana Boat – Premium Fine Paper to mimic wallpapers on the inside of the home.

I stamped and Copic colored images from multiple stamp sets, including Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2), Sweet Ride, Lucky Break, Bee Happy, Cuddly Sheeps Seasons’ Greetings, Rabbit Café, Summer Sunshine, My BFF, and Congratulations!

I took the adorable girl from Sweet Ride and the cute bunny from Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) and placed them inside the home, looking out the window and the door. I took the boy from Lucky Break and place him in front of the house.

I then placed the tiny bee from Bee Happy on the window sill, and bells from Cuddly Sheep’s Season’s Greetings on the door for some extra décor!

I also gave the little bunny a rose which was from the My BFF stamp set!

I thought the home needed more decorations, so I stamped the plants from Rabbit Café multiple times, and used them as potted plants in front of this home.

I used sentiments from the Congratulations stamp set to finish off this card. I did some masking to make “Congratulations” into a short-form “Congrats!” as I thought the full version was a bit long for this card, and I’m happy with how it turned out!

For the final touch, I added the smiley sunshine from the Summer Sunshine stamp set to give the card a little warmth!

I hope you like today’s card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

And don’t forget, we are working hard on our next release, and we hope to bring you some new goodies real soon!

A Colorful Mermaid Just Because Card by Jo!

Hi guys, Happy Friday! Let’s kick off this weekend with Jo’s adorable mermaid card for today!

Jo made a lovely scene using both old and new stamp sets from our shop, including the Let’s Catch Up, Pretty Mermaid Planner and The More We Get Together! Check out her video tutorial over on our YouTube Channel and give it a like!

Jo blended the beautiful ocean using Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. And she used Walnut Stain for the seabed layering.

The cute mermaid on the treadmill is from the Pretty Mermaid Planner stamp set, while the other two doing yoga and weight lifting are from the Let’s Catch Up stamp set!

I love that she added some sea creatures and ocean related images from The More We Get Together to complete her scene! These cute images easily go together with the mermaids and the overall look is flawless!

The sentiment “Let’s Go Exercising” is also from Let’s Catch Up!

Thanks Jo for this wonderful message! Speaking of, I believe my yoga session is long overdue!
