Sneak Peeks

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m super excited to share this fun sneak peek using Halloween Icons stamp set with coordinating dies and Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies. The images are so cute from these sets! My favorite time of year is Fall and I adore all fall crafting, it’s the best! Let’s get started!

New release will be available August 12th

First, I stamped and colored the images from the Halloween Icons stamp set with an array of alcohol markers from my crafty realm. Next it was time to work on my background, I used an oldie but goodie from my stash called Stacked Edges 1 Dies! I added some faux black splatters to the top left and bottom right of the card panel.

I needed a resting place for each of the cute Halloween Icons I colored, the Halloween Icons Die set has the perfect Circle and Medallion Die! I used coordinating cardstock to match the images and added splatters to the white circles. The Halloween Icons stamp set is perfect to make a grid card! Next step was to make a smaller panel for the actual grid, once I had this piece it was easy peasy!

The next and final step was the sentiment. The Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies has wonderful sentiments! I took a sentiment and heat embossed it in white on black cardstock. The sentiment needed a resting place, I went to one of my most used die sets called the Sentiment Strips Dies! I die cut two sentiment strips from coordinating cardstock and Ta-Da card done! I adore the nontraditional color palette and the card is so stinking adorable with all the little images!

For my second card I’m using the new super cute Halloween Corners stamp set with coordinating dies, these images are the cutest! I stamped and colored the images in an array of alcohol markers. Next, I took the coordinating dies and did some die cutting.

For my background, card base, I did some ink blending using two new stencils form the release. I took the Layered Birch Trees stencils and made a light pink forest. I wanted to add a bit more interest in the background and decided to use the new Scattered Bats stencil. I did partial stenciling in the upper left corner and bottom right corner. I decided to use another favorite die set called Wonky Stitched Square Dies! I die cut two of squares and did some light ink blending. I adhered the squares to my card base with some foam tape, next I added the super cute images from the Halloween Corners stamp set.

Now for the finishing touches, I die cut a few sentiment strips from the Sentiment Strips Dies and adhered them to the top left corner of the card I took one of the sentiments from the Halloween Corners stamp set and heat embossed it in white on black card stock, voila card is done! I can’t stress enough how stinking cute these images are and you’ll see them throughout my spooky crafting this fall!

Thank you so much for stopping by and you’re going to LOVE the new release, it’s chock full of Halloween goodness Have a great day!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m giving you a sneak peek of some of the fantastic new dies releasing this month.  This month is heavily boy-themed and will hopefully help boost your stash in that area, but there is definitely something for everybody to love, so let’s get started. 

New release will be available June 10th

First up is the new Football Shaker Die. I love the large size of this die and filled it full of Espresso and Sand Sequins. I knew right away that I would be making this card for my son, so I used his team colors as my inspiration. 

With my focal point ready to go, I finished the card by adding detail to the card base with the Pierced Stars Plate, added some stripes, and then framed out the football with the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle. I adorned the rectangle with some of the new Stitched Stars Dies and added a little embossed sentiment from the new Sports stamp set.

There are several shaker dies releasing this month, and I used two more on my next card. I had so much fun creating this galactic scene! I started by using some distress and pigment inks, shimmer sprays, and paint flecks on black cardstock to create a simple galaxy background.   

Then I used the new Planet Shaker Die to create the large planet with the ring around it and the medium planet at the bottom of the card.  The smallest pink planet was cut with the circle from the older Winter Circles Dies.

I blended several inks and added shimmer sprays and a smidgen of glitter to my planets as well.

You also get a little peek of the Rocketship Shaker die on this card as it flies through space.

I love the sense of movement this adds to the card.  I thought it would be fun to have the sentiment from the previously released Love From Afar Dies trail after the rocket ship. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! My cards just barely scratch the surface of the MANY new dies releasing this month.  There are space, stars, sports, construction, city, and even a fun new Fancy Card Die, so make sure you come back tomorrow for a look at all of the new products!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released!

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card, we’re going into space with the Layered Shooting Stars Stencils – I used them with Interference Metallic Inks on black cardstock to create a shimmery, galaxy design. I also added some white paint splatter to add more of a space look. Using the Pierced Stars Die, I trimmed the stenciled background and adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped and colored images from the Outer Space Stamp Set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also cut different pieces from the Rocketship Shaker Dies and added my sentiment before adhering the rocketship and space images to the card base with a mixture of liquid glue and foam adhesive.

For the second card, we’re heading into a construction zone with the Layered Street Signs Stencils. I used masking tape to include lots of color detail with this stencil set using Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks to create the street signs in different colors. I added a little bit of black splatter and trimmed the panel to A2 in size and attached it to the card base.

To finish the card, I cut a black strip of cardstock with the Stitched Borders I Dies and embossed my sentiment in white before adhering to the center of the card. I stamped and colored images from the Construction Additions stamp set and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. I layered the images onto the card base with different foam adhesive thicknesses so they really pop off the card.

I hope you enjoyed this peek into some of the new stencils. I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the release!

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek at the new Sports stamp set from the upcoming June release. There’s a fantastic variety of different sports in this set. On my first card, I featured lots of these together.

New release will be available June 10th

I stamped out all the images and coloured them with copic markers. I’ve listed the colours used later in the post. I also used a red fineliner pen to add detail to the baseball.

For my background, I used the previously released Storybook 6 die. I layered this for dimension, adhered it on an A2 card base, then added some pattern papers in each of the window spaces.

Underneath the Storybook 6 die, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sports stamp set. I then added the images to the card with foam tape

Copic colours

• American Football E95-99, W0-1
• Baseball N0-1, red fineliner pen
• Baseball Bat E30-33, W0-1
• Basketball E95-99
• Football / Soccer N0-7
• Rosette Y00 Y13-15
• Stars R24-27, Y13-15, B63-66
• Tennis Racket R24-27, N0-5
• Tennis Ball YG01-03
• Trophy Y00 Y11 Y15 YR23

For my second card, I focused on one sport. I stamped out the basketball, trophy and stars from the Sports stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Taking inspiration from the sentiment in the Sports stamp set, ‘You’re an all star’, I teamed the images with a holographic star, using a die from the new Stitched Stars set.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed these cards. Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here to share some Sneak Peeks!  I’m super excited to be sharing these sneak peeks using Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies and Utility Vehicles stamps with coordinating Dies.  My sneak peeks are just a small glimpse into these fabulous sets because I did specific themes for each of my cards.  These sets are adorable and have you covered to make lots of celebration goodness! 

New release will be available June 10th

For my first card I’m using the super cute Helper Vehicles stamps with coordinating dies.  I stamped the images and colored them with an array of Olo markers.  For my background I did some partial stenciling with the new Layered Shooting Stars Stencils. I decided to make a shaker, so I cut a smaller panel to fit onto the A2 panel and die cut a circle from the smaller panel.  For the backdrop in the shaker, I used a fun new die set called City Buildings. I inked up the buildings with colors that matched the colored images from Helper Vehicles Stamps with coordinating dies.   I did a mixture for the shaker bits, I used Sparkling Clear Mix, Iridescent Mini Star Confetti, and the new Stargazing Mix!

I arranged and adhered all the images to the card panel, but I needed a resting place for the adorable police cars and decided to use the road from the new City Buildings Dies.  I added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Die set and the cute sentiment is from the Helper Vehicles stamp set, viola card done!  I think it turned out super cute.

For my second card I’m using the Utility Vehicles Stamps with coordination dies and I decided to focus on the adorable Postal vehicle.  I stamped and colored the images with an array of Olo markers.  For my background on the card base I used the new Layered Street Signs stencils.  My idea for the background is to resemble postal tape. And yes, friends it’s shaker time, I decided to make another shaker using the new Stitched Stars Dies!  I added the cutest new shaker beads called Patriotic Shaker Beads!  

I arranged the cute images from the Utility Vehicles Stamps regarding postal service onto my card and added lots of stars from the Big Celebration Cupcake Dies. The adorable sentiments are from the Utility Vehicles stamp set and so are the cute smiley faces!

Thank you for stopping by friends! Come back tomorrow for more sneak peeks! This release is chock full of CUTENESS for lots of occasions and super FUN!

Hello crafty friends! Davina here with some “out of this world”, sneak peeks, featuring the June Pretty Pink Posh release. This playful release is full of imaginative play themed sets like construction, first responders, and space. I made a pair of cards that feature some of the space theme products and hope that you are as excited as I was. 

New release will be available June 10th

Both cards were created using the Outer Space stamp sets with the coordinating dies, and they are both shaker cards, using the new Beach Day Shaker Beads. I felt like this color combo would be perfect for my space scenes and love the fiery gold and orange with the shades of blue.

For the first card, I started by die cutting my background using the Pierced Star Plate from Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I ink blended my panel with a blue gradient starting with a light aqua and finishing with a dark teal around the edges. After splattering with several inks, including gold, I put it aside to dry while i worked on the other components. 

I made the shaker element using the new Planet Shaker Die Set. I ink blended the center using the warm colors, and cut the ring from holographic cardstock. I filled the shaker about 1/3 of the way full for maximum effect. Next, I stamped and colored my images using copic markers and added white highlights and some glittery Wink of Stella accents. I backed my star panel with some starry patterned papers I had in my craft stash, and assembled the cards with the shaker in the center. I finished the card off with a sentiment from the stamps set, on a bold white banner. 

I loved the results so much I decided to make a second version of the card but with the new Rocketship Shaker die set, and the other images from the Outer Space stamp set. I backed this card in a dark navy blue version of the same patterned paper and used the larger more decorative sentiment from the set. I think the reflective holographic paper was absolutely the way to go with these shaker die sets, as the colors pick up so much from the copic colored images, and really bring the scenes to life. 

I hope you like this pair of cards as much as I do, and are inspired to stock up on the new release for these “out of this world” collection of products!

Thank you for stopping by, Davina 

Hi folks, Kavya here with some fun inspiration for the latest release! The new Construction Additions set pairs perfectly with the previously released Construction Trucks set.

New release will be available June 10th

My first card is inspired by blueprints using just a few additional old products that you might already have in your stash. I love how this one turned out! I started off my ink blending the brick wall stencil on soft warm gray cardstock. Then, I die cut blue cardstock out of Stitched Torn Rectangles die to create my ‘blueprint base’. I then stamped a house from Village stamp set using white dye ink and added some architectural markings using a white pencil. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, School Friends and Utility Vehicles to finish off my card.

My next card uses the new Construction Additions stamp set as well. I started off by ink blending blue and yellow ochre cardstock with coordinating dye inks to create my background.

I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Constructions Additions, Construction Trucks, Helper Vehicles, Utility Vehicles and Balloon Alphabet to finish off my card. I made it look like the crane was trying to carry the word ‘hugs’ and I think that looks just adorable! Love how this one turned out 

Hope these projects inspire you! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the June 10th release.

Happy crafting,
Kavya

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I am excited to give you a peek of the fun mix of dies releasing this month.  There are some awesome basics to add to your stash as well as a bunch of new dies to help you celebrate oodles of happy occasions – graduation, wedding, baby, and more!  You’re gonna love them!  

New release will be available May 8th

Since graduation season is upon us, I immediately pulled out the fun Graduation Cap Shaker Die. This die gives you options to add a shaker element to the top of the cap, the bottom of the cap, both, or no shaker element at all. You choose. :) 

On my card I decided to fill the bottom of the Graduation Cap Shaker with Mint Shimmer Confetti Mix. I jazzed up the tassel a bit by trimming along the stitched lines and layering three colors of cardstock.

I considered adding some florals to the top of the graduation cap because I think the personalized graduation caps are so fun, but I opted to use the beautiful new Floral Semicircle Die to add florals to my card base instead. 

I finished the card with the Congrats Shadow Die and some numbers cut with the previously released Graduation Mug Additions Dies. This simple design makes it really easy to customize colors for your graduate. And if you want to go a little more masculine, you can always swap out the florals with the solid, stitched semicircle die in the Floral Semicircle die set.  

The baby themed products this release are absolutely darling!  I have six friends having babies in the next couple months, so I have lots of baby cards to make. I made this set of cards using the largest of the new Eyelet Squares dies.  

On the first card, I added the darling new Onesie Shaker Die. After cutting it, I stenciled on the Starry Background Stencil and added “baby” using the new Baby Mug Additions Dies.   

Then I used the Sentiment Strips Dies to repeat the colors on the background. Finally I added a few stitched stars found in the Baby Mug Additions. 

While I had the Baby Mug Additions out, I die cut a bunch of the other shapes and blended ink on them for my second card. These super cute baby items were designed to be great mug fillers, but I wanted to show another option.  I turned the wrapper in the new Big Celebration Cupcake into a little basket.

I added a bow from the new Beautiful Bows Dies (so many fabulous sizes and styles in that set!) and a little flag using a sentiment from the Baby Basics stamp set. You’ll also see a peek of the Baby Words Stencil on the background.  

Thanks so much for joining me today! I feel like I only scratched the surface of the new dies releasing this month. Be sure you come back tomorrow to see a full look at what’s coming on May 8th!  

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released. I just love the new stencils – there are great layering stencils (like the Layered Onesies Stencils I will feature today), but my favorite just might be the new Fancy Lattice Stencil.

New release will be available May 8th

For my first card, let’s start with the Fancy Lattice Stencil! I used it with a 6×6” piece of kraft cardstock and first stenciled on Picket Fence Distress Ink. I cleaned off the stencil, then shifted it then inked a blend of Distress Oxide inks in Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade.

When the ink was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die and adhered it to an A2 white card base. I then cut the third Eyelet Square Die out of pearlescent vellum as well as trimming down a piece of white cardstock to 2×2” to fit behind the square. I finally cut out the Best Wishes Shadow Dies out of holographic cardstock and apricot cardstock for the shadows.

I adhered my words to their shadows, then to the pearlescent vellum with liquid adhesive. Using the words as a guide, I adhered the white square to the back of the Eyelet Square so the glue would not show through. I then popped it up to the card base with foam adhesive along with a few Strawberry Shimmer and Lemon Shimmer sequins to the card.

Moving to the second card, I stenciled the Layered Onesies Stencils on white cardstock. I used Catherine Pooler Inks with the (A) stencil in Lime Rickey, All That Jazz and Something Borrowed. For the (B) stencil, I used Beluga Solar Paste and set it aside to dry.

Next I stamped and colored my images from the Baby Animals Stamp Set as well as my sentiment. I used the Baby Animals Coordinating Dies to cut out the images and “Baby” sentiment. I cut the third Eyelet Hearts Die out of teal cardstock and used the images as a guide to stamp “Hello” onto the heart.

I cut down my stenciled background to 4-⅛x5-⅜” and used a corner rounder. I used the same corner rounder on my A2 white card base and I adhered the background to the card. I popped up the heart, images and sentiment to my card base. I love the subtle shine from the Layered Onesies and the adorable dog images.

I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the release and amazing stencils! Stop by tomorrow for a look at the new die sets coming soon!

Hi friends, It’s Jeanne here and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Hexagons stamp set with coordinating dies. This set is so versatile and I love that it’s not for any specific holiday because I know I’ll be reaching for it throughout the year!

New release will be available May 8th

The set includes four different size hexagons, a solid stamp for each size, and two different patterns for each size. You can stamp the hexagon out line and solid and stop there, or add different patterns them.

For this card I stamped and cut several hexagons and then assembled them to create a solid panel. Along the seam of the solid and hex panels I added a Stitched Strip and one of the new Beautiful Bow die cuts.

This card is clean and simple looking but packs a punch with lots of colorful hexagons.

For my second card I stamped and cut the Decorative Hexagons in different sizes and arranged them on a clean white panel in a random order trying to fill as much space as possible. When I trimmed the pieces outside the edge of the card I was able to save some of the pieces to fill in smaller white spaces.

To create a focal point I topped the panel with a large vellum Eyelet Circle and then added a smaller white one over that. The sentiment is from Baby Basics.

I added a Baby Rattle Shaker die that I turned into a shaker. YES! That’s a new glass bead mix called Spring Breeze. The little duckie and safety pin are from the new Baby Mug Additions die set.

I think these Decorative Hexagons are going to look amazing on holiday cards. A simple switch of color will make them perfect for any occasion!

Stop by tomorrow for another look at the upcoming release!
