Sneak Peeks

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Lucky stamp set along with some of the other St Patrick’s Day products from the upcoming January release.

New release will be available January 3rd

For my first card, I used images from new Lucky stamp set to create a fun background pattern. All the images are coloured with copic markers, and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Before adhering the images to my A2 card base, I die cut the new Lucky Shadow Die from gold glitter card. I’m just using the scripty word layer from the die set on this card, but there’s a shadow layer included too. I added a couple of layers behind it for dimension.

Copic colours:

Clover: G14 G07; Horseshoe: Y13-15; Coins: Y15-17; Stars: Y13; Hat: G14 G07 G17 N5-7 Y15; Pot of Gold: N5-7 Y15-17; Rainbow: R85 YR14 Y13 BG000

To complete the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the new Lucky stamp set above. I then arranged and adhered the images around the card to create the colourful background pattern.

My second card features the new Shamrock Shaker die, Layered Shamrocks stencil set, the Lucky Charms clay confetti mix, and the Hot Foil Lucky plate.

I created the background using the Layered Shamrocks stencil set. There are 2 layers and I used Lucky Clover distress oxide ink and Nuvo Golden Era Glacier Paste.

Next, I die cut the main die with the inner frame of the Shamrock Shaker from green glitter card, along with several layers of green card to build up the walls of my shaker. I then removed the inner frame die and used just the main die to cut an acetate piece and a back panel.

I added some of the fun Lucky Charms clay confetti mix before sealing closed my Shamrock Shaker.

Before adhering my stenciled panel to an A2 card base, I wrapped a piece of vellum horizontally across the centre and secured at the back of the panel. The vellum helps to soften the background where the Shamrock Shaker will sit.

For the sentiment, I foiled the new Hot Foil Lucky plate with Speckled Aura glimmer foil. I used the Lucky Shadow Die to cut it out and added a couple of layers for dimension. I adhered this across my shaker to finish.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. Come back tomorrow for another look at the upcoming release!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at an adorable new Valentine’s Day set, Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies. These are going to be perfect for the upcoming holiday, but I love that there is an empty train car to decorate for any holiday or maybe a baby card!

New release will be available January 3rd

I started with stamping my Valentine Train stamp set images on white cardstock with alcohol marker friendly black ink. My images are colored in with red, pinks and soft purple Ohuhu Art Honolulu Alcohol Markers. I used the Valentine Train coordinating dies to cut the images out.

For this card, I wanted the train to be my main focus, so I decided to do a subtle, tone on tone background. I started with trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4×5.25” and die cut the XOXO Border Die five times from another piece of white cardstock. I glued them down to create an offset pattern and trimmed off the excess from the edges.

This was then glued to the center of an A2 card base, also in white cardstock. Next I cut a Sentiment Strip Die out of white cardstock and used the same soft purple markers to color the paper and stamped “Loads of Love” as the sentiment for the card. I added my Valentine Train images and sentiment to my card with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new Valentine Train stamp set and coordinating dies; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. So many great new products for the upcoming holidays!

Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m thrilled to share these sneak peeks using the new Valentine Cupcakes and Sweet Chocolates stamp sets. 

I’ll be sharing two color palettes today one is nontraditional colors for Valentines, and one is basically an iconic color palette for Valentines. I had so much fun making these beauties, both sets coordinate well together. I absolutely adore these products, let’s get started!

New release will be available January 3rd

For my first card I stamped and colored the images from the new Valentine Cupcakes stamps with Olo alcohol markers using an array of fuchsia and blue colors, not your typical Valentine color palette.  I did add a few elements of red but overall fuchsia, blue, and a light pink are the main colors.  

For my background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, it’s a beauty! I used die inks for the blending in bright blues and fuchsias. I was determined to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies from the most recent release on my project, these dies are a favorite of mine. I cut the large Eyelet rectangle out of white glitter cardstock and cut my stenciled panel down to nestle it on to the large Eyelet Rectangle die. I needed a resting place for the cupcakes, I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies! I cut the large heart in velum and a smaller one from white glitter cardstock. 

I adhered the elements to my card base and decided to add a few embellishments. I used the new Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, specifically the blue hearts. I added a few highlights with my white gel pen and embellishments are done!

The next and final step was the sentiment. Oh yes, I did…I used another new product from the release called Elegant Banner Heart! It’s a gorgeous set of dies and sentiments are perfecto for Valentines and basically anytime of the year. I glued the letters from the Elegant Banner Heart dies to classic die called Stacked Edges 1 Dies. I finished the sentiment off with a royal blue bow from the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and a few more of the Colorful Heart Clay Confetti, ta-da all done! 

Now onto my second card using the super cute Sweet Chocolates Stamps and Dies! I stamped and colored the images with an array of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers in pinks and reds. For the background I used the new Half Heart 2-layer stencil, but I stenciled the hearts in one solid color using pink and red die inks.   I added some black splatters to the top left and bottom right of the background panel. I decided to use the negative piece from cutting the large Eyelet Rectangle Die out of a A2 card base. I adhered it to the background panel with liquid glue. 

Next, I realized I needed a resting place for the stamped die cut images and once again I decided to use the new Eyelet Hearts Dies. I die cut the large Eyelet Heart out of white cardstock. I adhered the large Eyelet Heart Die onto my panel with double sided adhesive foam tape. I arranged the elements onto the heart and decided to add the adorable doggie cupcake from the new Valentine Cupcakes Stamps with coordinating dies! 

The final step was the sentiment and that was easy-peasy, I used the cute sentiment from the Sweet Chocolates stamps and dies. I love a good white embossed sentiment on black cardstock! The final step was adding a bow to the top of the heart using the Holiday Mug Additions Dies and white gel pen highlights.  Ta-da this beauty is done, and I think it’s stinkin’ adorable!

Friends, the release is phenomenal and is full of gorgeousness, everything works so well together!  I want to thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for more fabulous sneak peeks! 

Crafty hugs!

Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a sneak peek post made with the adorable Decorative Hearts stamps and coordinating dies that will be released soon.

New release will be available January 3rd

Did you know that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday to create for?  Something about hearts and the colorful shades of reds and pinks that really inspire me and the Decorative Hearts stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh has certainly jumpstarted my creativity.

I’ve used the new Pierced Hearts die to create my card base and then stamped Decorative Hearts in reds and pinks in each empty heart space left by the Pierced Hearts die.  I spritzed my stamped surface with a bit of water and added red splatters using my Distress Spray.

I then die cut three hearts of different sizes using the adorable, new Eyelet Hearts dies. These layered hearts provided the perfect space for my “XOXO” die cut that is from the Decorative Hearts die set.  I added a secondary sentiment on a layered die cut Decorative Heart near the upper corner.  

My next card uses a row of these sweet Decorative Hearts lined up down the edge of my card.  They look adorable layered over die cut Eyelet Hearts, don’t they?  They are truly the perfect fit for each other!

In the background I have used the new Valentine Words Stencils, first using ink in a soft pink and then going over them with Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Paste.  They look dazzling all sparkly and shimmering.  

My darling die cut sentiment was cut using the new Be Mine Shadow dies…I adore these!  And, I am smitten with all of the new Pretty Pink Posh products coming out this month. I think you’ll love them too! Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hello! It’s Lindsey today and I’m super excited to be giving you a sneak peek of the amazing new dies releasing this month. They have absolutely put me in the mood for Christmas, and I think you are going to love them!

New release will be available October 11th

Today’s projects are extra special for me because these are the colors you will find in my home at Christmastime. The fabric, embellishments and overall design of my family’s stockings inspired my first card. Because I wanted everyone’s stocking to fit, this card is a large, non-traditional size (8.5×4.25).

The new Build a Stocking dies are a must have in my opinion. They are so much fun! I had a blast mixing and matching all the little pieces. The creative possibilities are endless! There are two stocking sizes that have multiple solid, stitched, and polka dot overlay options. There are lots of cuff options, too, and even more if you layer them.  

The solid outline stocking shapes also make it easy to design your own stocking. I made my floral stocking with berries and leaves from the new Holiday Mug Additions. I also added a little flower embellishment from the Winter Foliage dies onto the red polka dot stocking, but otherwise all the stockings were made using the Build a Stocking dies.

The sentiment on my card is soon-to-be-released Merry Christmas Shadow Die. And just FYI, there are two other sentiment dies releasing this month. Yay!

Oh, and if you look closely you will see the pierced snowflake design on my card base. That is the fabulous new Pierced Snowflakes Plate. Love, love, love!!! Here’s one last shot of some of the stockings I used in the photos just so you can see more design options. Once you start making these, you aren’t going to want to stop!

Okay, on to my second card!  I’m especially fond of the new Tree Cover Plate and was eager to use it.  There are so many cute patterns on these trees, and the card practically makes itself.     

After arranging my trees, I simply created a frame with the new Eyelet Rectangles and finished off the card with the previously released Merry & Bright Script Dies. 

This is a huge release, and there are several more dies releasing, so make sure you come back tomorrow to see everything in picture form. Thanks so much for joining me today! 

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a sneak peek of two of the stencils sets coming to the holiday release. The new release is packed full of amazing new products for all of your holiday crafting and includes five new stencil sets! Today I will be using the Layered Christmas Trees set along with the Layered Stocking set.

New release will be available October 11th

My first card uses the Layered Christmas Tree stencil set. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a fun Christmas tree pattern. I decided to use “nontraditional” colors and create my trees in a soft rainbow color palette. I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. Once my panel was finished I added a few white splatters with acrylic paint. 

Next, I used the new Eyelet Rectangles die to create my base for my trees and sentiment. I ink blended the rectangle with aqua ink and added three rainbow blended trees that I created with the new Tree Cover Plate. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set for my sentiment. 

For my next card, I used the Layered Stockings stencil set.

I started my card by using the Layered Stocking stencil set to create my card panel. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to create an adorable stocking pattern. I once again used dye ink and finger daubers for my blending. On my third (final) layer I added Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss over the blended ink to give the cuffs of the stockings a little extra “shine”. 

Next, I used the Scallop Frame die to create my frame for the center of my card. I then used the new Build A Stocking die set to create my two stockings for my card. I ink blended the pieces using the same ink as my panel and assembled them with liquid glue. I used a piece of a white flocking transfer sheet to die cut the cuffs to give them a fuzzy texture. I backed my frame with vellum and then attached my two stockings with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set for my sentiment. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. I know you will love these amazing new stencils and I can’t wait to see what you create with them!

Enjoy your day,
Dana

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today and I’m happy to be giving you a peek at a couple stamps sets releasing soon! The first one is Christmas Cupcakes and the second is Sentiment Strips: Christmas.

New release will be available October 11th

I combined the two to create a colorful slimline. I started out by stamping all 6 cupcakes on white cardstock and coloring them with a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus.

Green: GY2, G410, G130, G110
Red: R8, YR5, R32(C), R20
Teal: BG13(C), BG4, BG10(C)
Purple: P4, P3, V150, RV180, RV160, RV130, RV010
Pink (wrapper): P4, P3, V150, RV180, R21, R20, YR110, RV260
Pink (ears, cheeks): RV180, RV130
Brown: E43-E40(C)
White (blue tint): BG3, B000-B0000(C)
White (gray tint, beard): N1(C), C0(C)
Yellow: YR2, Y3
Blue: R24, B340, BG3, B000
Orange: YR5, R20, YR110, YR030
Skin: E00-E000(C), E11(C)

Then I used the Christmas Cupcakes coordinating dies to cut out the images.

For the background I cut out a panel slightly smaller than a standard slimline and ink blended a “sky” using Tattered Rose distress oxide after masking a section off the bottom. I faded the blend to white near the top and added some texture by adding some dots using 2 pink markers and some highlights using a white gel pen. Finally I propped this panel on top of my card base using some foam tape.

The cupcakes were then propped up on the background along with the sentiment. I chose the sentiment, “Joy to the World” since cupcakes bring lots of joy, at least to me. But really, any sentiment from Sentiment Strips: Christmas would have been fitting. The sentiment was stamped on one of the pretty dies from Sentiment Strips Dies. 

For final touches I added some white gel pen for highlights on the images as well as some confetti (stars and light pink circles) from the Christmas Tree Clay Confetti mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Happy October everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the adorable Holiday Trees stamps and coordinating dies from the new collection.

New release will be available October 11th

I love creating in non traditional colors for the holidays and so for my first card, I die cut my Holiday Trees from pink, aqua, and soft yellow cardstock and a mint green patterned paper. The Holiday Trees set includes a variety of different shapes and sizes of trees with many adorable patterns to choose from.

I used the new Eyelet Rectangles for my card base. I just love these basic rectangle shapes with an adorable scalloped edge. After stamping each tree with my chosen pattern, I lined them up across the top and bottom of my card, leaving a space across the center for my sentiment.

I used the new Sentiment Strips: Christmas for the stamped portion of my sentiment and the new Merry Script die for the die cut portion of my sentiment. I added tiny peppermint candies from the new Holiday Mug Additions dies, glitter star toppers, and adhesive pearls to embellish my card and finish it off.

My next card uses a Kraft cardstock tree base for all four of my trees. I wanted my trees to resemble gingerbread cookies, so I added a stamped cardstock layer to resemble the frosting and sprinkles.

My favorite Eyelet Rectangles dies were used once again and behind my scene, I’ve used the cutest, new stencils from the October Release, the Layered Candy Cane Stencils. These are a must have for Christmas!

I added a die cut bow and sprigs of greenery to the center of my card, die cut using the Holiday Mug Additions dies once again. I adore all of the wonderful elements in this die set too. My sentiment is from the Holiday Trees stamp set…this sweet set has everything you need to create the cutest holiday cards ever!

Thanks so much for joining me! I hope you love Holiday Trees just as much as I do! Stop by tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be sharing with you this bright and festive sneak peek showcasing the beautiful Holiday Stockings and Winter Birds sets, along with the amazing Winter Words stencil.

New release will be available October 11th

I started off by cutting a Slimline Peekaboo Window panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered the whole piece of paper with spun sugar distress ink, and then used the Winter Words stencil along with worn lipstick distress ink to print a bunch of “Joy”, “Merry & Bright” and “Holly” words all over the panel. I applied a little bit more of worn lipstick distress ink all along the four edges of my panel, and then added some texture: I mixed some festive berries distress ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my paper, and did the same with white liquid ink.

Next I moved on to the coloring, and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers in a bright and colorful palette.

Here is a detailed list of the sets I used: • Holiday Stockings: stockings, holly leaves, candy canes, presents, teddy bear, baubles • Winter Birds: birds • Spring Robins: branches

Once the coloring was done, I attached the images on my Winter Words panel using foam squares, I stuck my panel on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches red & white stripy panel, and then on a white card base. I gold heat embossed the “Happy Holidays” greeting from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on white cardstock, trimmed into a slim banner using a die from Sentiment Strips, and attached it on my panel using foam squares.

To bring more shine to my card, I stuck a few Metallic Gold Pearls here and there, and finally added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. And that’s it! I hope that you like this cute and festive card. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon!
