This card all started with the Sending Sunshine image. When I read it I want to add on the words "and Rainbows". So, I decided to create a card with a rainbow on it. And since I am a matchy matchy girl I decided to have my rainbow match the colors I chose for the background and the image.
For the background I used Distress Oxide ink in Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral. I added some clouds with the same colors of ink using the Puffy Clouds stencil. And a bit of splatter to give it some dimension. There are actually 3 layers of splatter, the first is with water, the second with white acrylic paint and the third with gold metallic watercolor. This gives the background a sense of depth and I just love splatter!
I used COPIC Markers to color in my image. The letters are so much fun to color in with more than one color.
Here are the colors I used on the letters, top to bottom: Y15, Y17, YR04, R22, R21
For the mail box I used cool grays; C8, C6, C4, C2 and for the stand I used E33 and E35.
The rainbow die cut I used is from the Rainbow Funshine die set. The die cuts out all 6 bows of the rainbow at once. I then colored in the bows of the rainbow with the same COPIC Markers that I used to color in my image. I thought it was so fun to do a rainbow in non-traditional colors. I am very happy with how this whole card came together. The fun little details are the gold sunshine with the fun smiley face. And the gold glitter hearts make me smile. And last but not least the rhinestones are just gorgeous. I linked all the new rhinestones from Trinity Stamps for you below, they are just so very yummy, take a look at all the colors to choose from. But really, why choose, I didn't! hehehehe.

Have you had one of those days where you can not find you mojo. Card making is not happening. Crafting is a no go. But you have time and new things, only you don't know what to make?!?
That's when I like to turn to a challenge. Like the one I am playing along with today from Not 2 Shabby. You can find these kinds of challenges all over the World Wide Web. The fun thing about them is it gets you thinking of how you can incorporate that challenge into what you have. And that can be just the thing to spark the old mojo! Here is the challenge board for the N2S July challenge .
You can be inspired by the colors, the images, the flowers, the shapes, the suit with the boutonniere (WEDDING!), and so much more.
Another thing that can spark creativity is collaborating with a friend. AND, of course I am doing that too for today's challenge. I collaborated with my friend, Jenn Hartsgrove of Katahdin Krafts to up the challenge a bit. We decided together that along with Not 2 Shabby challenge we would also use the Waffle Cone Ice Cream Digital stamp from N2S and make a slimline card. This really gets the wheels turning. And I am always super excited to see what Jenn will come up with, how similar and how different will our cards be!!!
I hope you are excited to see what we both did with this challenge. AND just maybe we can help you be inspired and fuel your mojo enough that you will want to play along with us and the Not 2 Shabby July Challenge. Get all the details about playing along right HERE.
Now let's take a look at my card making video and what I made for this challenge.
Now you can watch Jenn's video and see her creation with this challenge in this video HERE.
Now let's take a closer look at today's card.
For the used of the ice cream cone I print and cut out 3. I colored them (with COPIC Markers) to go with the colors of the inspiration challenge board. I love the look of blending the blue and purple together. I think this ice cream must be Blueberry and Huckleberry. I then attached them to a sheet of Faux Embossed Watercolor Paper. I cut off the excess cones and reused them to fill in the entire background for a more full look. I added the sentiment and some gems to dress up the card.
Today is National Ice cream Day, so if you are still up reading this, you have my permission to have a bowl of ice cream before bed, or hit a drive through!!!

Hello my stamping friends! I am back with an all new Stamp Set of the Month series!!! After taking a month off for summer, I am happy to be back doing my favorite videos for you all! This month I am featuring the S'more the Merrier stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I love all things camping. I may have mentioned that before. We are a camping family and when I say camping I mean RVing. But we love to go to the mountains and enjoy the trees, creeks, rivers, lakes, wildlife and also sleep in a bed and have a bathroom. It's the best of both worlds really.
Also, this stamp set is themed around S'mores, which is another family favorite as my hubby has been building a fire pit in our backyard. It is a bit of a second seating area with a lot of stone work. He's worked sooo hard on it. I'll share pics of that soon, it is not quite done just yet. So, we love to sit out back and make s'mores whenever the mood strikes us. And when the temps are under 100! It's been a hot summer here in Idaho.
With all the being said, you can see where the inspiration to make campfire themed cards comes from. So, let's jump right into the video and take a look at these two cards being made.
If you can not see this video up on the screen, you can also view it right here.
Now let's take a look at each of these cards.
For the cards this week I was trying to stay away from making a scene, you all know how much I love to make a scene! hehehehe. Most of the cards I make using Lawn Fawn end up being a scene building card. I thought I'd try to focus on the Giant Happy Birthday to you die cut and just add a few things from the S'more the Merrier stamp set for a bit of accent to bring in the fire and s'more element.
I also wanted the Giant Happy Birthday to You die cut to have a glow from the fire and so I die cut it from an ink blended panel.
Now, let's chat about the plaid background. The Plaid Stencil set from Lawn Fawn is so much fun! For this background I used four inks from Altenew; Hazelnut, Autumn Blaze, Crimson and Jet Black. I felt the Jet Black gave it a bit of a Halloween feel, so to soften that look I added white stitched lines over the black with a White Gelly Roll pen. I love the look so much with the plaid, I am sure I'll do that again.
Now let's take a look at the second card.
For this card I wanted to take another shot at the plaid background. So I used a different ink, in place of the Jet Black, and that is Milk Chocolate. Perfect for a S'mores themed card! And this time I used white paper, where the first background was done on Kraft paper.
For my Giant Happy Birthday To You, I colored the top of the letters to look like dripping chocolate. The bottom of the sentiment I colored to look like coated marshmallow. My hubby can roast the perfect marshmallow. They are so puffy and so golden brown and the inside is just melty. Those perfectly toasted mallows are what inspired my coloring.
Then there is the Smiley S'more, what a fun die! I really want to make more of the fun little S'more guy. He would make a super cute tag!
I added a few stamped images form the S'more the Merrier stamp set around him as well as a custom sentiment, "& Many S'more". The "Many" is from the Happy Harvest stamp set.
And now for the part where you get to play along!

Hello my stamping friends! Today I am pulling some of my new Heffy Doodle things to make some quick and easy birthday cards. But I like my quick and easy cards to have a bit of a WOW to them. So, I am going to share with you the things I did to keep these cards quick and easy and yet give them an element that makes them special at the same time.
Now let's look at each of these cards, similar but with slight changes.
This card came together quickly and is easy to reproduce. To make this quick and easy card special I started with an element with a lot of visual interest, the stenciled background. The slight rainbow of the whimsical font is fun to look at. Then by cutting this background out with a rounded rectangle it adds to the interest of that piece.
Layering up the Pebble Sentiments with a scalloped layer is another element that takes these solid sentiments up a notch.
But to really dress up a quick and easy card the element of BLING always gives you the most bang for your buck! I used three different shades of glitter paper to mat my stenciled background on. And to finish it off I added a few gems stones. I love the bright cheery feel of this card!
The second card started out a a throwaway. I am sure this has happened to you too. You start a card and one element does not come out how you hoped, but you know if you redo it you will like it better. This stenciled background was just that thing. I did not like how the orange stenciled section turned out, it seems a bit muddy, like there was residual ink left on my blending brush. So I started over and did the previous card I showed you. When that was all done I picked up this discarded background and thought it actually did not look that bad. I don't like to waste things like this and I had already glued it to the glitter paper so I decided a second card using this base was the thing to do. I wanted it to be the same card, with a few changes.
The first changes is that I stamped the Pebble Sentiments in darker colors of ink than I used for the stenciling. In the first card the words Happy Birthday are very light, using a darker ink really made them pop.
Second, I mounted these to die cut scallop layers cut from glitter paper. I loved how it all turned out. And the yellow Happy Birthday is easy to read so I did not add the Wavy Banner sentiment like I did on the first card.
So happy to have two more fun and cheery cards in my stash.
Now on to thank you cards! You can never have too many thank you's on hand either. What other cards do you like to have on hand and ready to go? Let me know in the comments below.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello my stamping friends! For today's creations I am playing with the July 2021 Glimmer Kit of the Month from Spellbinders. This month's kit is a set of nesting plates that make a frame of dots on a rectangular card stock panel. This kit also comes with a roll of Rose Gold foil. That Rose Gold foil inspired me to create and once I started I kept adding more rose gold! So, in this video you will get all the details on the Mini Slimline Nested Glimmer Dots plate of the month set and you will see 3 ways to add Rose Gold to your projects!
Let's take a close up look at the July Glimmer Kit of the Month.
The contents of the Mini Slimline Nesting Glimmer Dots kit are:
*7 Hot Foil Plates - Nesting Rectangles that hot foil a frame of dots
(Largest Plate = 5-7/8" x 2-7/8")
(Smallest Plate = 3-3/4" x 3/4")
*1 Roll of Foil - Rose Gold
This month's kit perfectly coordinates with the Large Die of the Month for July, the Mini Envelope and Nested Card Creator set. I used this die set as well as the Clear Stamp of the month on my projects today.
Let's take a close up look at what I made and how I added Rose Gold.
First I used the Rose Gold foil on both my card and book mark, hot foiling a dotted frame on each. I love the touch of subtle elegance this brings to a card. If you have never seen hot foiling be sure to watch the video of these projects being made.
The flowers on this card are stamped with the largest flower from this months Clear Stamp of the Month set. I added Rose Gold to these flowers with Metallic Watercolors from Altenew. The shine on these flowers when you turn the in the light is amazing!
The third touch of Rose Gold is in the sentiment. Which I embossed with Rose Gold embossing powder. It has a slightly different tint but a lovely shine and still coordinated very nicely with my card.
I had so much fun playing with this month's kits I had to keep on creating! I thought the smaller rectangles that I had die cut and hot foiled would make the perfect sized book mark to go with my card.
And to put it all in I used the Large Die of the Month to make an envelope, which is thicker, almost like and envelope box. It will fit my card that has a lot of dimension on it as well as my book mark and a gift card for sure. I am so excited to have this die for my THICK cards, I love a lot of dimension on my cards.

Hello my stamping friends today I am spotlighting the July 2021 Large Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders. This months die set has 16 pieces in it! It die cuts a Mini Slimline Envelope box. It has 7 nesting dies with decorative edges for making Mini Slimline cards. There is a Happy Birthday sentiment and 5 dies that cut florals, most of which cut more than one floral! It's pretty awesome and I am in love with this months kit!
And as a bonus, this die set coordinates with the Glimmer Kit of the Month for July as well! If you are into Hot Foiling stay tuned I will be sharing that kit tomorrow! It makes dotted frames on slimline panels!!! Fun!
Let's take a look at this entire kit, sizes, and how to put it together in this video, as well as a complete card with matching envelope.
I used FIVE of the layering dies on this card and a bunch of foam squares to give this card a lot of dimension. That is because this envelope is a thick envelope that almost creates a box for your card. So make that baby with lots of popped up layers! The nesting layer dies in this set all have decorative edges, the alternate between a dot and dash pattern to a scalloped pattern. I have to say, the scalloped on these die cuts are special, they have some line detailing that is so dainty and pretty! I love that Spellbinders is always putting details like that in their dies!
That detailing on the scallops shows up so nicely on the gold layer. The smallest layering die in this set can be used with the Happy Birthday Die to make a rectangular sentiment that fits on the smallest scalloped rectangle perfectly!
And what do you think about the florals? There are only 3 flower dies, but each of those dies cuts out 3-4 pieces, making for a lot of choices when layering up your flowers. There are also two leaf dies that cut a total of 4 leaves.
I would love to know what you think of this month's Large Die of the Month! I am in love with the envelope box with the decorative edges! Make sure to check out the video to see this card and envelope come together.
I will be back again tomorrow with the Glimmer Kit of the Month for July, see you then!

They feature dreamy new stamps and dies from Scrappy Tails, and with a little help from Pear Blossom Press, they all light up! Be sure to hop along with us for lots of inspiration; our designers have come up with some stunning cards...
I am making a slimline night time scene with hot foiled stars that light up! I am in love with the Fairy Botanicals stamp set that I am using today. The large toad stool images make me so happy! I have made a video showing you how to put this card together. Since hot foiling plates are new to the Scrappy Tails shop, then it might be new to you too. So, I will show you how to do that in this video as well as how EASY it is to use the EZ-Lights from Pear Blossom Press. Take a look...
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it here.
Now it is time to hop along and see what the next designer did with this product mash up. Tanna LoHouse has a video showing you her card as well, watch it right here.
GIVEAWAY!!!
We’d love to see what you would create with these lovely new products, so we’re giving some away! Scrappy Tails and Pear Blossom Press are each giving away a $25 store credit! Comment on this post by July 9, 2021 to be entered to win. Winners will be announced on July 12th.
Now let's take a closer look at the card I made. First let's take a look at the card with out the lights on.
Look at the super pretty hot foiled stars in the night sky. To do this I used the new Fairy Dust Star Swirl plate and Aura foil. I did this over an ink blended background on Heffy Doodle White Cardstock (the best card stock for hot foiling in my opinion). This card stock is so smooth, it is also a great card stock to use when coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Which is what I used to color in my images.
The other products I used to set the scene for this card are the Slimline Every Day Borders 2, to make my grassy hills and mushroom tops.
The stones on this card were die cut using a new slimline cover plate die; Slimline Cobblestone Background Die. I used one of the largest stone to stamp the word push on. Under this stone is the EZ-Lights switch and when pushed the stars light up.
The EZ-Lights have 3 lights on the end, so I pierced a hole in three of the open stars on my hot foiled background and lined up the EZ-Light with that hole. All you need to secure these into place is tape. Then insert the battery in to the EZ-Light base, tape that into place and you are good to go!
To mount your card front to a card base you will need thick foam tape or double up your foam tape to allow enough room for the battery and switch pack of the EZ-Lights. They really are that EZ to use. If you like the EZ-Lights you will also like the Halo Lights, which are new and AMAZING too!
I saved a few pieces to add to the inside of my card.
You just have to add a little something on the inside of your card when the outside is that awesome (if I don't say so myself!) hehehe.
Make sure you hop along and get more inspiration from the other designers on this hop and leave comments as you go for a chance to win either a gift certificate to Scrappy Tails or to Pear Blossom Press! If you missed a stop along the hop you can find all of the stops right here:

Hello there stamping friends today I am going to share with you a few hacks to making multiple cards at once. This is also part of a YouTube hop with Not 2 Shabby. We are celebrating their new box of the month - Insect Cuties.
When I get a new kit or box of the month, it inspires me to play. I want to make a bunch of things and try out all the stuff in that box. So I thought I would make a bunch of cards so I could play with all the images in the two stamp sets in this box. Doing this I thought you might like a to know a few of the things I do to streamline this and make it a little easier.
As this is a video hop, let's start with the video, where you are going to hear all of my hacks for making multiple cards.
This hop does offer a GIVEAWAY! A $25 shopping spree to the Not 2 Shabby shop. To enter hop along with us over on YouTube using the hashtag #N2SInsectCuties to find all of the videos. Comment as you hop along. And be sure to enter the Rafflecopter here:https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/eeeaf7f37/?
The hop ends on July 8th, watch the N2S Instagram, blog and YouTube page for winner announcement.
Now let's take a look at all five of the slimline cards I made.
When making multiple cards I like to find an element that I can repeat on all of the cards. For me it was the use of this plaid die by Pink & Main.
I also like to repeat the same design elements with a few subtle changes, as you will see in the following cards. Don't you just love the darling critters in these new stamp sets. These little snails hugging is so darling.
For all of the cards I used the Faux Embossed Slimline Rainbow paper pad. It has a pattern on it that appears to be embossed! It's super cool and you can see it much better on my last card. I die cut the patterned paper on the first four cards, I like how the embossed detail on the paper gives it some variation.
I also used the Clay elements and gem stones from the July box to embellish each of my cards. Even though I have several different color schemes going on I was able to find flowers from the embellishment mix to match, as well as the gems. Both have a rainbow of colors to match whatever color scheme you choose.
For my final card I used the patterned paper behind my black plaid die cut. I added three bees from one of the stamp sets in the box, Buzy Bees as well as a sentiment from that set. This card is definitely my favorite. But the other are so darling and really helped me build up my birthday card stash. And with a few simple hacks these cards were quick to make.

Hello again my stamping friends. I am back with some more crafty goodness with Trinity Stamps! There are so many amazing things in their new release I can not wait to share with you! Today I am playing with a new stencil set, Lemons and Leaves to make some thank you cards. It was time to build up my stash. The thank you part of this card comes from a new product link that Trinity is now carrying, Cut and Foil sets! You probably already know that I am a hot foil fan, so I was very excited that Trinity was bringing out their own line of hot foiling plates. I will also be using a few other new things to finish off this card.
Did you catch my FAVORITE card stock for Hot Foiling in that video??? I recently decided to try my Heffy Doodle White Card Stock. AND I WAS AMAZED! It is the smoothest card stock I have ever felt, like it is soft! It is also a thick cardstock. Which are two things that you should look for when picking paper for hot foiling. These paper qualities are especially important when hot foiling a more solid plate, like the Thanks I used on these cards.
Let's take a close up look at how it foiled.
Shiny and beautiful! And the pop of shine in black is such a stunning contrast to the more natural feel of the stenciled background.
This card is an A7 sized card; 5" x 7". I die cut my stenciled panel out using a new stackable die set for making A7 cards. This die set adds and etched border around every rectangle is cuts out, I LOVE IT!
To give my lemons and leave a bit of dimension I used more than one shade of ink to stencil them. I started with a bright yellow on my lemon stencil and then added a darker yellow, more golden to just one side of the lemon and only inking up about 1/3 of each lemon. Then I added a very golden yellow to just the very edge of the lemon, layering that on top of the previous yellow. I did the same with the leaves and used just two shakes of green. I love the bit of depth this adds.
Now take a look at the mini slimline cards I made using just the leaves and branches stencil from the set.
So simple and yet so pretty at the same time.
One of special things I love about these cards is the stitched edge, created with the new Mini Slimline Stitched Edge stackable dies. Even the white embossed sentiments were die cut using a die from this set. Those supporting sentiments are from a new stamp set, called... Supporting Script Sentiments! It's pretty cool, and I have already been using it sooo much.
I think my stash of thank you notes has grown very nicely after this. What do you think of this new Lemon and Leaves stencil set. What would you make with it?

When I look at this image of a bear sitting down I think what else can I have this bear sit on and for some reason a super tall cake is what came to me and I thought it would make for a fun birthday card for the Trinity celebration!
I made the cake using a new stencil, Cake and Candles. With this stencil you can make a cake as big as you like. So I had to make a cake that was rainbow, because that is the best color. When in doubt, rainbow it out! After stenciling my cake I wanted it to look more like my stamped images, so I outlined it with a fine liner pen. If I can do this my stamping friends, you can do. Letting go of perfection and just having fun is so rewarding! I then cut my cake out and popped it up on my background. I now had a place for my bear to sit and be happy.
I colored up this little bear and a couple other images from the stamp set for the top of the cake with Copic Markers. I wanted to make a black bear this time, it seemed to fit the color combination I was using the best. I used Warm Grays; W10, W8, W6, W4 and W2. And a touch of R20 for the cheeks.
To make this cake special I added a bunch of Rhinestones, that a new to the shop as well, in a rainbow assortment. I have them all linked for you below, they are a thing of beauty!!!
If you want to see more of the new things I used on this card be sure to watch the video. I do have the entire new release linked for you below.

I made the cake using a new stencil, Cake and Candles. With this stencil you can make a cake as big as you like. So I had to make a cake that was rainbow, because that is the best color. When in doubt, rainbow it out! After stenciling my cake I wanted it to look more like my stamped images, so I outlined it with a fine liner pen. If I can do this my stamping friends, you can do. Letting go of perfection and just having fun is so rewarding! I then cut my cake out and popped it up on my background. I now had a place for my bear to sit and be happy.
I colored up this little bear and a couple other images from the stamp set for the top of the cake with Copic Markers. I wanted to make a black bear this time, it seemed to fit the color combination I was using the best. I used Warm Grays; W10, W8, W6, W4 and W2. And a touch of R20 for the cheeks.
To make this cake special I added a bunch of Rhinestones, that a new to the shop as well, in a rainbow assortment. I have them all linked for you below, they are a thing of beauty!!!
If you want to see more of the new things I used on this card be sure to watch the video. I do have the entire new release linked for you below.

Hello there my stamping friends. Lately I have been trying to build up my birthday card stash. It seemed I was getting low and just need more variety. I also have family members who like to come and shop my stash, so having plenty with variety is good.
When creating this birthday card I wanted to give it an element of surprise. The Popping By stamp set from Heffy Doodle is a fun set to do interactive elements with. I thought I was going to use a slider to have the fox pop up out of the cake, but the dimensions were not right. So I decided to use the balloons from the same stamp set and have it appear to be lifting my sentiment up with the use of a slider.
I started this card with the Balloon Room stencil and some Distress Oxide Sprays; Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, and Salty Ocean. I love the soft feel of the overlapping balloons which makes them appear to be more in the distance.
To make my sentiment appear to float up I used the Straight Slider Die set. So when you tilt the card, the sentiment looks like the balloons are floating away with it.
Look how darling that fox is popping up out of the cake with a bit of icing on his head!
Take a closer look at the die cut Happy Birthday sentiment, I die cut it from a piece of card stock that I used to pick up the excess spray from off of the stencil that I used to make the balloon background. It was a very crazy looking piece of card stock with bits of the spray everywhere, but it make a great piece to die cut this sentiment from.
I was happy with the little element of surprise on the outside of this card, a slider is easy and so much fun. But I wanted a little something on the inside of the card too. So I added some more stamped images to dress that up.
I love it when a bit of the scene spills over to the inside of the card.
And now I have another great card for my birthday card stash. I would love to know, do you have a birthday card stash? Or maybe a thank you card stash?
Below are all the supplies I used to make today's card.

Hello there my stamping friends. I am super excited that today I get to share with you two new stamp sets that about about to come out in the upcoming Trini-Tea 3rd Birthday Release! It's a SNEAK PEEK!
The two stamp sets I am sharing are called Best-Tea Party and Pretty Party Decor. I am going to use them together on one card to make a light up scene. The light up part of the card might seem technical, but it is EZ with the EZ-Lights from Pear Blossom Press!
Watch this card come together and get a peek of what is to come at Trinity Stamps!
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it HERE, on my YouTube channel.
Let's see what this card looks like all lit up!
I just love the paper lanterns lighting up the forest for this tea party. It really makes the scene.
And what do you think of those bears??? They are just darling I think. What sweet faces. I also love the tree trunk image for a table!!!
All of the die cut pieces that make up for forest are from the Great Outdoors Slimline die set, a must have for scene building if you do a lot of outdoor scenes like I do.
All of the supplies I used to make this card are listed for you below, except the two new stamp sets that are yet to be release by Trinity Stamps on June 25th!

I used the new Magic Iris Thought Bubble add on for my shaker. And I just had to use the new Plaid Stencil set for my background, that was so much fun to make!
On the inside of this card I added the Sending Big Hugs die cut, for a fun surprise.
Then I used the piece I die cut this from the make the second shaker card.
I added plaid behind this shaker and I just love that look.

Today I am celebrating the Sizzling Days of Summer with Scrapbook.com.
I have several of Scrapbook. com exclusive products to share with you in the two cards I made in the video below. The 7 Sizzling Days of Summer has some amazing deals and a FREEBIE each day of the event!
I made some bright summery cards for you today with some products that I fell in love with.
If you can not see the video up on the screen, you can also view it here.
Now let's take a close up look at the cards I made.
First up is the sunshiny bright hello card.
I love the bold and crisp feel of this card.
I started out by ink blending a panel with Pink, Turquoise and Yellow ink and the new domed ink blending tools. The domed sponges are amazing and seem to glide across the paper effortlessly and made for a very nice blended rainbow.
Next I added a die cut cover piece using the Slim Sunshine die and the bright yellow card stock from the Brights Smooth Cardstock pad (which, side note, is a SLIMLINE paper pad, so there is less cutting for this slimline card addicted girl!) It looks stunning over the ink blended rainbow.
For the sentiment I used a few die sets and one sentiment stamp set, all on different sheets of cardstock from the Brights collection.
Let's start at the top, I die cut the word Hello using the Classic Type Alphabet dies, this die set comes with upper and lower case letters and I used both, cause I could!
The word "love" is from a scripty die set called; Inspire. I love pairing typed font with scripty type.
Lastly I added a sentiment from a Wordfetti stamp set; Best Day Ever, embossing it with white powder onto this fuchsia cardstock.
The boldness of this card reminds me of an advertisement for sunscreen,I think it is great to get inspiration from all kinds of places.
Next up, I have a slimline card with more rainbow ink blending, but this time, with the Wave Stencil.
You should watch the video and see how I got the watery look on the swirls of this card. This stencil just screams summer, I love it.
Did you happen to notice the rounded corners on the slimline panels of this card? This is one of my favorite die sets from Scrapbook.com, the Slim Nested Rounded Rectangles! There are 8 pieces in this set and I just want to layer them all up!
Again, I paired the Classic Type alphabet die set with the Best Day Ever stamp set for my sentiment. It reads, You Are (U R) something to smile about. The Best Day Ever stamp set is a great one for scrapbooking, but I found it was also fun for card making.
I have made a few other cards for the Sizzling Days of Summer that I will be sharing over on my Instagram, you can follow me here if you don't already.
Making these cards was like a little kick off to summer and the hot weather that has rolled in here in Idaho. I think tonight is a good night for a dip in the pool!

Happy Saturday stamping friends! Today I am sharing a fun and easy technique using stencils and ink to create a faux tie dye look.
The trick to this technique is the stencil set I am using. It is the Superstar stencil set from Trinity Stamps. This stencil set has a circular pattern of stars. The circular pattern really replicates the feel of tie dye very well. There is a bit of technique to this, but it is easy to replicate. I will be using Distress Oxide Ink and Distress Oxide Sprays for this technique and found that the sprays work the best. In the video below I will show you how you can easily create faux tie dye backgrounds with the Superstar stencil set and Distress Oxide Sprays.
Here are the cards I made with my Faux Tie Dye backgrounds.
When you use Distress Oxide ink to spray your stencil you end up with a lot of ink on the top of the stencil that could be wasted, or picked up with another piece of paper. That is what I did for these backgrounds. This background uses Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Spray. I did have to play around with how many sprays gave me the look I wanted. I found that having more white space looked more tie dye than if I had more blue space. It is the dots of white in there that make this look so much like tie dye and the circular pattern of this stencil set.
Let's take a look at a couple more cards with this technique.
I thought these backgrounds made for fun baby cards. I like to let the background be the star of the show and keep the focal image small. The pattern really draws your eye into the center.
I hope you will give this technique a try, you can use many different mediums with this technique, so try the pads and sprays that you have on hand and see what cool looks you can make. Play with different stencils too. You might just end up making some thing crazy cool and have fun getting inky while you're at it.

YEP, hair gel is not just for spiking your hair do! It's great for underwater cards! And today I am going to show you three ways to add Hair Gel to your cards for a fun underwater look!
This is one of those techniques that you have to SEE being done. Check out my video below.
When you shop at the Not 2 Shabby shop be sure to use code N2S10 at check out for 10% off your order!
Now let's take a look at Hair Gel card No.1!
For this first card I added clear hair gel to a cellophane bag and put it behind a window in my card. the seahorses are behind the gel. This makes a squishy, bubbly window that the recipient can push on. It gives the card a very realistic under water feel.
For the second card I used hair gel with a few drops of ink.
This is fun because you can let the recipient mix the color around in the gel. You can even put two colors of ink in and them them mix the colors together. The ink does not immediately color all of the gel, it takes mixing to do so.
The third way I used Hair Gel in my card was to add glitter to the gel. This one ended up being my FAVE!
So much fun to push around the glittery gel. A little bit goes a long way with the glitter, a pinch will do or up to 1/8 of a teaspoon if you have a bigger window like I do on this card.
And there are all three of my Hair Gel cards. They really are so much fun to make. I do not recommend mailing these for fear they might get punctured and the USPS does not like mysterious liquids seeping out the mail. These are great to be hand delivered or inside a box. Be sure to watch the video to see how I put these cards together.

Hello there my stamping friends! Have you tried Glimmer Hot Foiling yet? Maybe you are new to it and are a little intimidated by it. Or maybe you have your Glimmer Hot Foil system and have tried it but have not gotten results that you love. Today I am going to help you with a few tips and tricks!
These tips and tricks are best seen in the video above, if you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it on my YouTube channel.
As with many Glimmer Kits, this set comes with hot foil plates as well as dies to cut out the images.
This has one large plate that is about 4-3/4" long and 1-3/4" wide and says Happy Birthday. There are also 6 sub sentiments that are funny and a bit snarky. There is a die to cut out the Happy Birthday and one strip die to die cut out all the sub sentiments.
Let's take a look at the cards I made with this set.
Here are the tips I cover in the video:
1.Use the Quick Trimmer to cut your foil to the right size to avoid missing part of your plate not having foil on it. And you'll also have less foil waste.
2. When removing the dock use your thumbs and pull it straight back towards you so that you don't giggle the plate and cause blurry foiling.
3. Steady the roll of the platform through your die cut machine, going slowly with one hand on top of the plates. When you go too fast it will get bumpy and it can cause the plate to jump and there could be double foiling.
4. When your image does not foil well, parts of it are missing foil here are my trick to try:
-use a shim in-between your plates when rolling it through the die machine
-run the plate through the die cutting machine and then back towards you, again going very slowly
-a smooth white paper foils best, colored card stock can have more texture to it
- run your plate through on an angle instead of completely vertical when you can
5. If a small portion of your image does not foil well, let it go. Some missing foiling can be overlooked, it doesn't always have to be perfect.
If you look closely at my foiling there are a few that have missing or incomplete foiling on the Happy Birthday. I made sure to use them on my cards to show you that it is okay if it is not 100% perfect. There are going to be times when you may have to throw a foiled piece away, but there are times when that piece is okay and good to use. Just have fun with your Hot Foil machine.
You may have also noticed by looking through these pictures that the smaller sub sentiments foiled perfectly even on colored card stock. Smaller plates have a smaller surface area and foil easily. Large plates with more surface or solid area are trickier, and that's when you will need today'd tips and tricks.
ALSO, get to know your machine. What works for my machine may not be necessary for yours. You may not need a shim, you may need two. Experiment and the more you use it the more you will learn and you will get it down.
If you have any questions about Glimmer Hot Foiling please leave me a comment below. I have been doing it since the machine came out and so I might have some insight for you.

This is the Colorblocking Circles and Stripes die set. This set contains 10 dies.
The largest die in this set cuts 3 strips of paper that are 8-1/2" long and vary in width. There is a curved die that is mean to be layered with a second die cut to create three circle openings in a row. The circle sentiments fit in this openings. There are 3 circle dies that you can use around the sentiments or to create a solid layer for behind the sentiment. You can also use these to build the layering circles or half circles on, which are the other two dies you see below the sentiment dies. You can see these dies and how they work in my video below.
Now let's take a look at the two slimline cards I made using this die set.
As you can see I had some fun using the stripes die. As you may have guessed if you have visited my blog before, I love slimline cards, so having this die to do different techniques is very cool.
For my first card I did a diagonal rainbow pattern.
I picked card stocks from my stash with more of a pastel or muted feel to them. I really wanted to use the Clear Stamp of the Month set, Circles of Sunshine. It reminds me of graphic t-shirts you might buy while on vacation at a National Park. I have seen them with a rainbow background, so that is the inspiration behind today's cards.
I also used the curved die, you can see what it looks like here overlapped with a second die cut. It's a pretty neat die and can be used repeatedly to make a great background on a card.
I use that die repeatedly on my second card.
I added one to the center of this card where I added my stamps circles and one die cut sentiment circle. Then I added a partial piece to each end to extend the circles down the length of this slimline card.
I also used the stripes die on this card to make a plaid and woven background. You'll have to watch the video to see how I did this. It was easier than I thought.
Thank you for letting me share these dies and cards with you today. If you are interested in any of the supplies I used, you can find them linked for you below.

It's summer time and that means swimming, BBQ's, staying up late and watching America's favorite talent show on TV. It's a great family show that my daughter loves to watch with us. I thought the Center Stage die set, by Trinity Stamps would make a great card inspired by this show. I also wanted to make this card a shaker, so the shaker elements could represent the pressing of the GOLDEN BUZZER! Even if you are not into this show, this card is a fun shaker.
Watch the making of this card right here.
And now let's take a closer look at the card.
I designed the card so that all the shaker elements can be hidden.
BUT THEN..... Someone presses the Golden Buzzer! Which on the show means you are amazing and get to jump to the live shows and don't have to audition again, it's a big deal!
The talent on this card is from the Le Cirque stamp set. It is a fun circus themed set, which also has a flying trapeze girl!
I especially love that there are dies in this set for the audience, or in my case the judges. And I was able to customize them to look like the actual judges.
The finishing touch on this card is the sentiment. The stamped part is from the A Sentiment for Almost Everything stamp set. I masked off the word THIS so I had only YOU'VE GOT. Then I added the word TALENT using the Graham Cracker Alphabet.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my creation with you. I will see you all again soon with another crafty creation!
