The Tri Window frame was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The "inside" rectangles were inked with Cracked Pistachio, Spun Sugar, and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks. These rectangles were adhered directly to a card base and the frame was adhered to the card with foam adhesive strips.
Images from the Big News, The Cat's Meow, The Bunny's Hop, and Stackable Cuties were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker combinations were used for the design:
Flowers: 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow, 055 Pale Yellow, 041 Light Green, 053 Yellow Green
The signs in the Big News images were stamped with sentiments from the stamp set using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images were die cut with the coordinating Big New Dies, The Cat's Meow Dies, The Bunny's Hop Dies, and Stackable Cuties Dies before being adhered to the frame design with either foam adhesive squares or liquid adhesive.

Today I have a Chicken Coop shaped card to share with you featuring the brand new Chicken Coop Dies, Spring Chicks Stamp Set and coordinating dies, and Eggcellent Sentiments Stamp Set! I created my own shaped card base using the chicken coop as a template and added a sentiment in the form of a sign on the coop and an additional sentiment on the inside of the card to round out this fun and playful design. Everyone has those days where we want to say "cluck it", right?!!! Ha!
The 4th BEEday Release from Honey Bee Stamps is HUGE! I've linked to all the products in the release, including 6x6 patterned paper in the shopping list below. While I'm only using a fraction of the incredible products newly released in my project today, I'll be sharing many more over the next few weeks. Be sure to tell me what you want to see me use first in the comments section!

Watch the creation of this chicken coop shaped card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The Chicken Coop was die cut from white woodgrain cardstock and inked with Lawn Fawn Doe and Walnut Inks using the Picket Fence Life Changing Blending Brushes. I die cut the chicken coop twice more from smooth white cardstock.
Using one of the chicken coops as a template, I traced the design on a folded side fold card base and cut out the shape with scissors to make the shaped card base.
The two white layers of the Chicken Coop were adhered to the shaped card base and the layers were finished with the woodgrain layer. A roof for the chicken coop was die cut from Hero Hues Cranberry Cardstock and adhered to the top of the coop. Honey Bee Stamps Candy Hearts in Be Mine were adhered to the roof for decoration.
The hay in the chicken coop was die cut from Lawn Fawn No. 2 Pencil Cardstock and inked with No. 2 Pencil Ink before being adhered to the chicken coop with foam adhesive squares.
A "sign" for the chicken coop was created by stamping a sentiment from the Eggcelent Sentiments Stamp Set on Hero Hues Black Licorice Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sign was trimmed into a rectangle and adhered to the top of the coop.
Images from the Spring Chicks Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Inkon3 Fadeout Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers before being die cut with the coordinating dies. The images were adhered to the chicken coop as shown.
The following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker Colors were used:
Chickens: 060 Brown, 061 Medium Brown, 076 Medium Brown, 068 Deep Brown, 260 Deep Red, 029 Geranium Red, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow
Eggs: 302 Haze Blue, 999 Blender
To finish the card I stamped an additional sentiment from the Eggcelent Sentiments Stamp Set inside the card with black ink.

Surprise! Simon Says Stamp just rolled out a Mother's Day Limited Edition Card Kit! Today I'm sharing a couple of stenciled muslin gift bags perfect for small gift giving packaging and a fur baby card critter for all those kitty mamas out there. There's a little something for everyone in this kit and the For All Moms Stamp Set is great for all kinds of mamas! I love kits like this!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these stenciled muslin gift bags and critter mama card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
For the muslin bags I placed some leftover plastic packaging inside each bag and then stenciled the Bouquet of Roses stencil on two of the bags with the Nuvo Pink Oval Glimmer Paste (included in the kit). Once the Glimmer Paste dried, I lined the cleaned stencil back over the design and stenciled the leaves with Green Apple Dye Ink using a blending brush. Sentiments from the For All Moms Stamp Set were stamped on the bag with black dye ink.
The string from the muslin bags was removed and some of the ribbon from the kit was threaded through with a safety pin for a pretty decorative touch that ties into the black stamped text.
An acrylic heart from my stash was hot glued in place on each bag.
For my second card, I stamped the cat, butterfly, and paw print from the For All Moms Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using black ink. Some of the sentiments from the stamp set were stamped with Soft Navy and Caribbean Blue dye inks. The images were colored in with Copic Markers and only the tail was cut with a craft knife.
Striped patterned paper and Soft Navy cardstock from the kit was trimmed and adhered along the bottom edge of the panel as shown. The tail was put on top to make it look like the cat was sitting on a "ledge".
Glossy Accents was used over the nose, heart, paw print, and butterfly body. White and black pens were used to adding extra detail to the images.

Hello friends! With the last several releases from Simon Says Stamp I have especially been drawn to the gorgeous Outline Floral dies. A few weeks ago I created an Easter card with the Outline Floral Cross from the Fresh Bloom Release. Instead of sharing right away, I held onto the card with the intention of using the Outline Floral Frame from the DieCember 2018 Release. Imagine my delight when I saw the Outline Floral Mom die in the Blossoms and Butterflies Release! Today I'm going to share three different cards with the same technique!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these outline floral inlay cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The Outline Floral Cross was die cut from smooth white cardstock and adhered to the center of the design. The cross was cut out again from multiple colors of cardstock and inlaid into the design. I die cut the cross two more times from smooth white cardstock and adhered them one on top of another on the first cross to really "frame up" the inlay design.
The Outline Floral Frame was die cut from smooth white cardstock and adhered over the stamped background. The die was cut again from greens, blues, and purple cardstock and the design was inlaid into the frame. The frame was die cut twice more, adhered one on top of another and finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bottle Green in the center of the flowers.
I used the new Mesh Stencil, Simon Says Stamp Olive Green Ink, and a blending brush to created a fun inked background on smooth white cardstock.
The Outline Floral Mom die was die cut from smooth white cardstock and adhered to the center of the stenciled design. The flowers, leaves, and "mom" were inlaid with plums, pinks, and green cardstocks. The frame was die cut twice more from smooth white cardstock and adhered one on top of another to finish the large die cut design.

Watch the creation of this Classic Alphabet wedding card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
After the large sentiment was foiled, I stamped sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Stamp Set above and below the foiled greeting with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I trimmed the background down 1/8" inch on one long side and one short side to even up the sentiment just a bit. This will also give the panel a thin white border all the way around that ties into the white blooms of the design.
The design was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh White Jewels and matted on a white top fold card base.

Welcome to the Mama Elephant April Stampede Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing a birthday card created with the brand new Big Scripty Hello Creative Cuts Die and Big News Stamp Set and coordinating dies. The previously released Birthday Messages Stamp Set, Cloud Nine background die, and Sweet Feline sentiment strips round out this bright and colorful design.
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of this big scripty hello big news card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The sentiments take center stage on this fun birthday design but the background needed a bit of interest to help the sentiments and images shine! A background panel was die cut from smooth white cardstock using the Cloud Nine Creative Cuts background die. The panel was inked with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer, and then blotted dry.
Strips of cardstock in Hero Hues Azalea, Hero Hues Papaya, Gina K Dandelion, Hero Hues Kiwi, Hero Hues Paradise, and Hero Hues Amethyst were die cut into varying widths and adhered to a regular piece of printer paper (trimmed to 3" x 5 1/2"). I added a strong adhesive to the printer paper and then adhered the strips at a diagonal to create my own rainbow patterned background. I used printer paper because it's thin and will die cut better than another piece of cardstock under the cardstock strips.
The Big Scripty Hello was die cut from the rainbow strip background. The Big Scripty Hello was die cut two more times and the dies were adhered one on top of another for a bit of dimension before being secured to the background as shown.
The images were adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
Sentiments from the Birthday Messages Stamp Set were stamped on the Hero Hues Azalea, Papaya, and Amethyst cardstock with clear embossing ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, and die cut into strips with a Sweet Feline Creative Cuts die. The phrases were adhered to the design with foam adhesive strips.
The card was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink, Ripened Pumpkin, Dandelion Yellow, Apple Green, Caribbean Ocean, and Crushed Grape.

The images from the Wake Up and Make Up Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I positioned and stamped the "Hello, Gorgeous" greeting first and then stamped the makeup and tools images around the sentiment. The images were colored in with the following Copic Markers:

Reds: R35, R37, R89
Tans: E30, E31, E55
Glass Bottles (blues): B00, B01

Silver/Gray: C2, C5, C7
Details were added to the images with a white pen and Glossy Accents. A black glaze pen was used for the mascara wand to make it stand out more.
An additional sentiment from the Wake Up and Make Up Stamp Set was stamped on Schoolhouse Red Cardstock using clear embossing ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, trimmed into a thin strip, and adhered below the other greeting with foam adhesive.

With my ten card share today I have everything from intricate die cutting, to stamping, to quick and easy cards made with die cuts and patterned papers from the kit! There is a little something for everyone. The versatility and amazing value of the Spellbinders monthly card kit (and die kits) is incredible!
The three cards below feature tutus, both pre-made and also ones made with the exclusive April 2019 Card Kit dies!
The first card features a tutu die cut adhered to a 3x4 card from the kit, adhered to a Night Out 6x6 patterned paper from the kit, matted on black cardstock. A Night Out Foiled Foam Sticker adorns the dress. Sequins and a pre-made die cut "lovely" greeting were added and the design was finished by die cutting the "hello" from the Small Die of the Month Club Kit dies from the silver foil paper from the kit and layering it over the tutu.
The second card features the exclusive April 2019 Card Kit dies used to create a die cut dress on a hanger. The embossed background was created with the FSJ Love Stripes Embossing Folder. Black cardstock from the kit was die cut with a Fancy Nesting Rectangles Die and trimmed to create a scallop border on either side of the strip. The background was adhered to a Night Out 6x6 patterned paper from the kit trimmed to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to be the background of the card. The dress was die cut from the peachy-pink cardstock from the kit, silver foiled cardstock, and a Night Out 6x6 patterned paper. The skirt is two layers for this dress and adorned with flowers and leaves die cut using the Small Die of the Month Club Kit dies. The exclusive April 2019 Card Kit dies were used to die cut the greeting from silver foil cardstock and the rest of the sentiment was stamped on black cardstock using the Night Out Stamp Set stamped with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.
This last card features a trio of dresses created with the exclusive April 2019 Card Kit dies. The dress were die cut from the white, black, and peachy-pink cardstock from the kit. Each dress is embellished with either flowers and leaves from the Small Die of the Month Club Kit dies or the bow from the exclusive April 2019 Card Kit. Detailing was added to the dresses with a Stardust Glitter Pen and/or white opaque pen. The dresses were assembled and adhered to a Night Out 6x6 patterned paper adhered to gray cardstock from the kit. a sentiment was added using a Night out Die Cut Shape from the kit.
Here's a close up of one of the cards where I used the silver foil cardstock from the kit to layer the leaves. It picks up the silver foiling from the sentiment banner and swan's crown perfectly!
The FSJ Cardstock colors used for this card are the following:
The Night Out Stamp Set was used for the final card with Fancy Nesting Rectangles Dies to add interest to the simple stamped design. The main images was stamped with black ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and then skirt layers were added with two colors of gray ink. Night Out Foiled Foam Stickers were added for detail and a layer of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was added to the top of each for sparkle. Silver Moondust drops were scattered throughout to finish the design.
