Hello there my stamping friends! Today I get to do something really fun. A mash up blog hop!
The designers from Heffy Doodle (that's me) and from Gerda Steiner Designs are teaming up. We are all creating using products from both companies on one card! I love a mash up and have come up with a cute slimline card, if I don't say so myself. I will be using Heffy Doddle dies and Gerda Steiner images for my Mice Tea Party Slimline Card.
Since this is a Blog Hop not only to you get to see a bunch more fun mash up projects but there is a GIVEAWAY! Heffy Doodle is giving away a £25 shopping spree and Gerda Steiner is giving away a $35 shopping spree to their respective shops! To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop! Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM on May 21st to be entered to win! Each company will post their random winner on May 22nd at 10AM EST! Make sure to check theHeffy Doodle Blog and Gerda Steiner Designs Blog to see if you’re a winner!
You can see the products I used and my card come together in this video.
Now let's take a close up look at my slimline Mice Tea Party card.
The images I used from Gerda Steiner are the Positivi-Tea Clear Stamp set and a few digital images to go with. The digital stamp are; Mouse with Drink (seen on the left side of my card), Sweet Tooth Mouse (seen on the right side of my card), and Mouse in Cup (used on the inside of the card). I love that the little mouse I fell in love with from the Positive-Tea stamp set has friends that I can download and use with him. I had so much fun coloring out this scene with these darling tea drinking mice! The fun border around this card was made using the Sweet Scalloped Slimline Die set from Heffy Doodle, I nested two scalloped frames together to make this fun frame.
Another product that I used from Heffy Doodle is the Broad Strokes Stencil for my background. I used Coral Berry ink from Altenew and stenciled on to pink paper. I think it is such a fun backdrop for my thirsty mice. I think these mice are darling, to color them up I used Warm Gray Copic Markers; W4, W2, W0. With a touch of R20 for their cheeks and ears.
To give the effect of sugar in the bowl I used some Diamond Stickles. It turned out so cute and ties into the glitter sentiment, which sounds like you are giving someone a BIG kiss. This die cut sentiment is also from the Sweet Scalloped Slimline Die set that made the border/frame on this card. It's one of several new slimline die sets from Heffy Doodle. The banner to stamp my sentiment on is a die in the Mini Essentials Heffy Doodle die set, it fit my sentiment perfectly!
I used a polkadot patterned paper from my stash to make an envelope using the new Slimline Envelope die from Heffy Doodle.
I also added another digital stamp on the inside to finish off this card, Mouse in Cup. Isn't he so cute! I hope you like today's card, it was so much fun to make.
Now it is time to hop along and see what the other designers have created. Next up on the hop is Jeannie Lieu, from Inside Out Jeans, she makes some really cute cards!
The entire blog hop list is below incase you missed a stop.
Thank you so much for hoping along with us today. Be sure to leave a comment as you go to be entered into the GIVEAWAYS! Winners will be announced on the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Blog on May 22nd.

Have you heard of Pixi Dust Designs? They are a new paper crafting company and I have fallen in love with so many of their dies! So when Sandra asked me if I wanted to participate in their first hop I jumped at the chance. I chose the Kisses Box and Gift Card Holder die set to feature in my video. I used to make something similar years ago using a paper cutter and scorer. But with this new die set so much of the work is done for me and it has so many fun little details you can add on. That gave me more time to be creative. So I made a Double KISSES HOLDER!
Check out the video and hop below.
If you can not see the video up on your screen you can also catch it right HERE.
Here are links to the other designers participating in this hop, be sure to comment on their videos as well because each channel is giving away a gift card to a commenter on their video!!!
I also thought you'd like to see close up pictures of my project.
this is the front side, you can see how the bottom holder has kisses in it and the top holds a gift card.
This is the back size of the holder, in this box I put a lip balm, Hershey's flavor!!! And in the gift card holder I added a piece of card stock so that a personalized note coulee be added. To dress up my box I used the Kisses Mini Stamp Set. You can find these cute stamps and the dies in the Pixi Dust Designs Shop.
I addes a strip of card stock between the holders as a strap to give it a bit of a purse feel. I think that little strip of card stock really makes the whole project come together.
I used a bunch of these new products to create todays card. And of course I have a video tutorial for you so you can recreate this look if you like.
You can check out the all the new products Trinity Stamps has to offer HERE, and they are pictured at the end of this post, just scroll down.
And now let's take a look at the card I made featuring the Chocolate Bunny die set.
I wanted to make a little box for this delicious Chocolate Bunny that might look like something you'd buy to add to an Easter basket.
You can see the 3D box a little better in this picture. It is about 1/4" thick. And the egg shaped opening has a window sheet covering it for an even more realistic feel.
Be sure to watch the video below for how to make this box, but I have the measurements for you right here:
4-1/2" x 3-1/2" Score at 1/2" and 1/4" on all four sides.
You'll need to cut away the corners, add your insert (chocolate bunny panel), fold on the scored lines, add adhesive to the outer most flap and stick down to your card. Watch it come together in the video below, if you can not see the video on your screen, you can watch it right here.

What a great hop I have for you today. It is the Lawn Fawn Fans Valentines YouTube Hop, we usually do a winter hop but this go around decided to focus that on Valentines. Each creations in this hop is so very cute, I know you are going to love this one.
For my Valentine card I used the new So Dam Much set along with images from the Wood You Be Mine stamp set. I had been wanting to pair that with the Wood Slice Die set from Sizzix and finally got to do that for this card.
Do you catch the Tiny Gift Box in this picture? I altered the Skunk Add-On die set to create a BEAVER! You can see both of these projects come together in the video below. If you can not see the video up on your screen, click to watch it HERE.
I love all things woodland, so I have created a few other scene like this one for these beavers, you can see that video HERE.
I find there are a lot of die sets from Lawn Fawn that I pull out repeatedly for creating scene. On this card I used the Ocean Borders, Mushroom Hill, and Stitched Mountain borders. And with the Shadow Box Mountain Add-On die set I was able to create this mountain pond scene. It's where two beavers decided to build their houses, met and fell in love.
Can we talk about the Wood Slice die set, it is AMAZING!!!! Easy to use and comes with the entire alphabet so you can create whatever saying you want on your wood slice. Plus there is also a circle slice in the set. I just had to pair it with the beavers as soon as I saw it!!!
Speaking of EASY. Turning the Skunk into a Beaver is as easy as 1,2, 3. One, use brown cardstock. Two, add teeth. Three, turn the tail upside down and drawn crisscrossing lines. What do you think?
If you like these projects I have another video featuring the Wood You Be Mine set, making gift box with matching note cards. Watch that HERE.
As I mentioned, this is all part of the Lawn Fawn Fans YouTube hop. The Lawn Fawn Fans are crafty friends of mine who also love Lawn Fawn. We come together seasonally to share some of our favorite products with you. AND, we like to do a GIVEAWAY TOO. To enter the drawing jump over to YouTube, watch and comment on each video in the hop.

Hello my stamping friends. Today is RELEASE day over at Trinity Stamps and I am helping to celebrate these fun new products with a hop on YouTube and Instagram!
The stamp set from this release that I chose to feature today, because it is so SOUPer cute, is the So RAMENtic set.
I think this cup of noodles is so fun! And to reverse the images I used my Gel Press, you can see how in the video below. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can watch it HERE.
Have you tried reverse stamping on the Gel Press before? Let me know in the comments below and tell me how it went for you.
Did you see that today's video is part of a HOP and there is a GIVEAWAY! It's all over on YouTube so be sure to click over and leave a comment on this video to be entered. You could win a $25 gift card to the Trinity Stamp shop.
This stamp set has so many PUNNY sentiments in it and I used two of them on the outside of my cups. I also added my own customized sentiment. On the outside of the card I used the Simply Sentimental YOU stamp set to stamp out "you are my". And on the inside...
I used the Graham Cracker Alphabet to add "Cup Of Noodles". That just makes me smile.
You can also see this card on Instagram as part of the Instagram hop for this release. We have a second GIVEAWAY going on with that hop! Here's a link to my Instagram page so you can check that out too. Good luck on winning one of the two $25 shopping sprees!

Hello there my stamping friends. Today I am sharing two Halloween cards made with a bit of grunge to give them a bit of a spooky feel. The other exciting thing about today's cards is that they are made using products from the just release Autumn Gathering collection from Trinity Stamps.
They have so many fun new products for Halloween, Fall and everyday that you are going to love! I have it all linked for you at the end of this post. But first take a look at my creations!
My touch of grunginess on each card is in the backgrounds. I LOVE creating backgrounds and new stencils made it so much fun. Watch the video below to see how I grunged up these backgrounds and put them together with new stamps and dies.
If you would like more details on the HOP that this video is apart of and how you can enter to win our GIVEAWAY you want to click over to my YouTube channel and read the video description, it's an easy way to get some FREE product from Trinity Stamps.
Now let's take a close up look at each of these cards.
First of all I have to tell you how much fun it was making this background with the new Retro Diamond Stencil set and coordinating die, Argyle Stitch Background. Layers of splatter and strategic shadow blending turned this background in to something that just made me giddy!
Tell me how darling that happy Dino is with that punny sentiment!!! I just love it!!! It's all from the Spookysaurus stamp set. Which BTW, is a 4" x 3" set, and that makes me happy because it is super affordable while still be totally darling! Super affordable means more money to buy more new crafty things, right!
Now let's chat about that vintage moon! I love vintage things and so the face of this moon makes my inner 50's housewife smile! If you love it too, it comes in a Hot Foil set and in a stencil set!!!
Now let's check out another card with that grungy feel.
If you love PUNNiness this stamp set, Punny Mummy, is one you're going to love. The sayings are so fun in this set with two mummy stamps that I had to use three of them on my card. Now let's get a little closer look at the background.
This background is from another new stencil set, Color Swatch Stencils. Not only can you use this stencil set as a swatching tool, but it can make for some fun backgrounds too!
The splatter layers on this card are just delish! There is shimmer and metallic going on right there! Let me know in the comments if you like to splatter your cards.
Now the moment you have all been waiting for... a look at the entire new release!

Hello my stamping friends. Today is a fun day because a few designers from the Lawn Fawn Fans team have come together for a mini YouTube hop sharing idea with the recently released Hive Five Kit. Lawn Fawn released this kit at the end of June and it was available while supplies last. It has since sold out. So that means many a stamper was able to get this fun kit. So, the team at Lawn Fawn Fans wanted to give you some fun ideas using this kit.
Here's a look at the kit contents.
These are exclusive products to the kit and can not, at this time, be purchased separately.
Take a look at the card I made using this kit in the video below. I had so much fun making this card and can not wait to GIVE it away to one of you! Watch the video for all the details. If you can not see the video up on your screen you can watch it on my YouTube channel.
I used the stencil in the kit to make my rainbow honeycomb background. I just LOVE how that turned out.
All the stamped images on this card are from the HIVE FIVE stamp set. These bees are so super cute!
And because I am so PUNNY, I used my Oliver's Stitched ABC's to make a custom sentiment.
I added a sub sentiment, embossing it in white on the grassy border.
And because my card has "heart" in the sentiment I added some Jelly Hearts from Trinity Stamps all over the card in every rainbow color. I'll have those linked for you below so you can check them out.
I did not forget about the inside of the card, I love that slimline cards leave you enough room for something cute and a personalized greeting as well.
Now that you have seen my creation, here are the other three stops on the hop for you to check out too.
And below you will find all the supplies I used to make this card, minus the Hive Five Kit, as it was a limited edition item that was available while supplies last.
Affiliate links have been used, at no cost to you. Affiliate links are a collaboration between online shops and makers. When you shop these links the retailer gives a small percentage of the sale to the maker, at no cost to you. It is a great way of supporting your favorite businesses and the makers who inspire you.

Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my creation with you, it means so much to me!
Hello there! I am thrilled today to be participating in the Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps HOP! I am on the design team for both companies and just love their products! So making something that mashes up products from both makes me giddy!!!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies, and that means a lot of cute inspiration for you!
For this card I used the Udderly Fabulous stamp set from Heffy Doodle and the Island Cocktail set from Trinity Stamps. I also broke out a bunch of dies from both companies to make this strawberry milk themed shaker card.
My youngest daughter is very much into the strawberry cow trend, and anything strawberry for that matter. Here is a picture of her strawberry cow with my card.
So that is where the inspiration for this card came from. You can see this card come together in the video below. If you can not see the video on your screen you can watch it on my YouTube channel.
This card is a shaker. The shaker bits are clay strawberries from Trinity Stamps. The shaker bit are actually hidden behind the grass until you shake up the card. I chose my color palette for this card from all things strawberry cow. Google that and see all the cuteness that pops up!
To frame my shaker card I used a slimline envelope die set from TS, which is currently on sale in there shop and is linked for you below. I love a scallop frame and so it is one of my favorite dies from Trinity. Other dies I used from TS are the grassy hill, its from the Slimline Scenic Borders die set.
The puffy clouds are a nice little die set from Heffy Doodle that have four different sized clouds with stitched edges. I also used the Leafy Laurel die for my white flowers. The yellow centers are from the Summer Holiday Enamel Dots also from HD. You can see how nicely the products from both of the companies go together. I love a good mash up!
Now let's chat about the Blog Hop details and GIVEAWAY!!!
To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop! Trinity Stamps will be giving away $30 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores! Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM EST on July 22nd to be entered to win!

Hey there my stamping friends. Today I am featuring four of the July 2022 club kits by Spellbinders in a HOP!
There are several designers participating in this hop to bring you a lot of inspiration using the July Club Kits that Spellbinders has to offer. All stops on the hop are listed below. Be sure to visit and comment on the Spellbinders blog post for this hop to be entered to win a $25 shopping spree to the shop!
The Club kit I am focusing on today is the Have A Chill Summer Clear Stamp Monthly Kit. It has a solid popsicle image in the set. And I am going to show you 3 fun ways you can ink up this popsicle. I am also incorporating 3 other money club kits for July; the Embossing Folder, Large Die of the Month and the Glimmer Kit.
Here is a look at the three cards I am going to show you how to create today. Below you can see how I inked up each popsicle and how I put these cards together in this video. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can also view it on my YouTube channel.
Now let's take a close up look at each of these cards.
I just love the little strawberry in this set! And I love strawberry popsicles too! I made these popsicles ombre by inking them up with three different ink pads.
They got a bit of sparkly splatter after that.
I think LIME popsicles are my FAVE, so I had to make a card featuring them. I did the KISSING technique for these yummy popsicles. You ink the solid popsicle with a light color of ink and then ink the lime stamp with a darker color of ink and stamp it right on to the popsicle stamp. Then you can stamp this down on to your paper. What a fun technique!
The background on this card was made using the Embossing Folder for July, Geometric Stripes, it's a very versatile pattern and I love it with this card.
Make sure to watch the video to see how I got the shine on my popsicles.
Last but not least I had to make a popsicle food truck. I just love the July Large die of the Month, what a fun idea to make different food trucks! And this popsicle works great on top!
This grape popsicle got its cool color with the help of sprays! I love the flecks of grape goodness it adds! And in the background of this card I used the Glimmer Kit of the Month to add those amazing stripes.
I hope you enjoyed these cards and a few fun ideas for inking up your solid stamps! Be sure to watch the video to see all the techniques in action.
And now it is time to hop along with us and see more inspiration with the July Club Kits.
Next up in the HOP is Iliana Crouse, who's creations are always FABULOUS!

Today I am sharing the new Cupcake Card Die set!
I am so very happy with this new shape card die set! A die that makes a cupcake shaped card is so my jam!!!
My cupcake card is my favorite flavor, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! You can check out the video below to see how I made my frosting using my Gel Press.
I love all the texture on this card. I added some Diamond Stickles to the die cut word Wish. It makes me so happy that this die set comes with this beautiful scripty sentiment and shadow layer too!
Even more texture and dose of realism are the sprinkles. In this new release Trinity has a TON of new embellishments. And entire rainbow of clay sprinkles to top your cupcakes, ice cream cones, popsicles and more! Not to mention fill all your yummy shaker cards too!
Did you notice that the frosting and the cupcake wrapper have embossed detailing in them? How fabulous that the die adds this for you!
I am totally in love with this new die set and can not wait to make more cupcakes in so many more delicious flavors!
Hello sweet friends! Today I am hoping along with some of my fellow Spellbinders designers, celebrating the May Club Kits!
Every month Spellbinders goes out of their way to make sure the club kits are amazing. And this month is no exception. The attention to detail in the kits is outstanding and gives the maker so many options when creating.
One of my favorite things about the club kits is that they can easily be used together and are fabulous enough to stand on their own.
For my project today I am going to be using 4 of the club kits; Large Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Embossing Folder of the Month, and the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month.
All of these kits have something to do with stitching, but then again, you can use them without stitching!
This card has so many fun things on it. Gel Press Print, stitching, hot foiling...
You can see it come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also catch it right here.
I think my favorite part of this card is the background. I used the Faux Stitched Embossing folder to embossed a Gel Press print. I was then able use a sanding block to sand off the top layer of paint. I LOVE the how it turned out.
The THANK YOU on this card is from the Large Die of the Month. There are several words that you can put with the large and stitchable "you". If you are feeling like stitching, this die cut also looks great with out.
The sub sentiment that I hot foiled on my card, celebreate you today, is from the Glimmer Kit of the Month. This month's glimmer kit, Stitched Glimmer Butterflies, is the most versatile kit! There are two different butterflies you can make in this kit. I used the half butterfly, there is also a full butterfly. And you have so many options for dressing up their wings. You can hot foil the wings, stitch the wings, add a layer to the wings, make a window in the wings. I made a window into my wings. And in this months kit there are 4 sentiments that you can hot foil. One of which says, You give me butterflies!
I used the clear stamp of the month on the back of the card. There is a sentiment in that stamp set that says Stitched with Love, I thought it was a fun addition to the back of the card.
Now it is time to hop along!

This new release has to be one of my most favorite! Such cute new image and fun new die sets! For my card I am using Farmyard Fun Stamps and the Stitched Birthday Trio A2 Frame die. I thought it would be fun to make a John Deere inspired shaker card.
The Stitched Birthday Trio die set really has so many options on which parts you are going to use and how and I just love that about this die set. I chose to use the frame and the negative pieces from die cutting the "happy bday to you". I put all the pieces together to make the front of my shaker card.
I filled my shaker with some red clay hearts for some nice contrast with the yellow and green. Knowing I was using these red hearts I made sure that my stamped images reflected this color for cohesiveness.
Isn't that tractor so cute! The heart detail in this set that you can add to the exhaust pipe makes me smile! And it was the the inspiration for putting hearts in this shaker card.
You can see this card come together in the video below. If you can not see the video up on your screen, you can watch it HERE.
Below I have listed and linked the supplies I used as well as all the products in the new release. All stamp sets have coordinating dies available, even if not shown in the list. Click on the stamp set and you will see the coordinating die set in the shop.

This hop takes place over on YouTube with my fellow Lawn Fawn Fans. This seasons hop is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn. Thank you to Lawn Fawn for always bringing us darling, fun and useful product. As a sponsor Lawn Fawn has generously donated a $25 gift card to their shop that one of our hoppers will win! Watch the video for details on that and how to enter.
My hop projects feature one of my favorite die sets from this new release, Strawberry Patch.
I just LOVE the berries in different sizes and the leafy branch, which I used to create my background on my A7 card. You can see this card and shaker book mark come together in the video below. You can click over to my YouTube channel to watch and hop along as well.
I went for a bit of a farm stand feel for this card, easy to do with a dusting of Vintage Photo Distress ink. And of course a splatte
r of it as well. To go along with the farm stand feel I added a bit of jute twine to my fruit basket.
I loved the little clay strawberry embellishments around my sentiment so much I wanted to make a shaker. So, I thought, how about a book mark made using my Fuse tool to make it a shaker.
That gingham paper makes me so very happy, it's the perfect pairing with these die cut strawberries. If you are wondering about the little flower, I die cut that using the Magic Iris Birdhouse add on die set.
What new fruits do you think Lawn Fawn should come out with to put in this fruit basket? Cherries? Apples? Avacado? Kiwi? Watermelon? Those are ones I'd love, maybe even Bananas!
For now I am DELIGHTED with my Strawberry Patch die set.

Hey there stamping friends. I am thrilled to help my friend Jamie Peters celebrate her YouTube channel, Not 2 Shabby, reached 10K subscribers. To celebrate 10 designers have come together for a YouTube hop! And there are 10 sponsor, each designer will be showcasing one of these sponsors. And each sponsor has a gift card to giveaway!!! Tons of fun right here today!
I will be showcasing Lawn Fawn and making some easter themed projects.
Now let's take a look at the projects that I made using Lawn Fawn products for this hop.
The Build-a-Basket die set is the perfect Easter die set that you can use with any other easter stamps you might have. It is one of those timeless die sets that I will hold on to and use for years to come. With this die set I made a mini slimline card and a gift tag with a pull out piece.
This basket fits perfectly on a mini slimline card! I love that the basket can be the star of the show on this size card. If you are not familiar with a mini slimline card they are 3" x 6", super easy to make using a 6" x 6" piece of card stock and just fold it in half.
For my background I used Watercolor Wishes patterned paper. I added a bit of sparkle to the blue background using the Lots of Hearts stencil and Fairy Dust Stencil Paste. It makes for a nice subtle something in the background.
The sentiment on this card is from a Not 2 Shabby stamp set, Easter Wishes, I fit perfectly on the grass and is a great style for this card. I love it embossed with white, it gives it such a fun spring feel.
I played with different colors of card stock to create my two toned pieces. I love using a light and a dark card stock of the same color family for the eggs, basket and bunny.
Now let's take a look at the tag. I know it is a bit big for this stuffy peep bunny, but it is what I had. But this tag would fit nicely on a bigger stuffy, maybe one that would not fit in an easter basket. Or an a gift for a person that might not get an easter basket anymore. But wait, there is more to this tag, when you pull on on the eggs.....
This pull out is 1-7/8" x 1-3/4" and it just the right size for a little message or for your "To and From". Make sure to watch the video to see how this goes together.
If you'd like more inspiration with this die set be sure to check out this video, where I make a banner and place card with it.
If you are not familiar with Not 2 Shabby, they carry their own line of stamps, dies, paper, stencils and digitals stamps. AND, you can find products from your favorite stamp companies as well. I order my Lawn Fawn products from the Not 2 Shabby shop most of the time, it's because I love supporting not only one of my favorite product lines but also a small business run by a person I know. And Jamie is so great with customer service and getting orders out quickly.
If you want to shop the Not 2 Shabby shop you can use my discount code N2S10 to get 10% off your order at check out (some new or sale items may not apply).
If you'd like to hop along with us and enter the giveaway you will want to do that over on YouTube, as this is a video hop. Here are all the stops on the hop.

WELCOME to the Heffy Doodle + Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop!
I am very excited about this month's collaboration hop with Heffy Doodle! This month we are collaboration with Time For Tea, another of my favorite stamping companies. They have a similar style to Heffy Doodle, so this is going to be a very fun mash up and hop.
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! You are going to love all the cute designs and inspiration!
Okay, let's take a look at the card I made for this collaboration, using stamps and dies from both companies.
It's a slimline shaker card, if you know me, then you are not surprised, as I LOVE slimline card and shakers are my favorite kind of card to make!
So much fun going on in this card, you can see it come together in the video below.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also watch it right here.
The die I used for the shaker window, Skies The Limit, is such a cool slimline die. I knew when I first saw it that I wanted to make a shaker card. But I also want to do and inlaid technique with this die, watch for that in a later post! For this card, I die cut the Skies the Limit die from white card stock and made an ink blended background to go behind it. I just love the look. For my shaker elements I used some raindrop shaped sequin like confetti from Trinity Stamps. When you have clouds, sun and rain, you are going to get a rainbow right! To help the rain confetti pieces move around a little better I added a little bit of micro beads. And I have to say my secret ingredient when making a shaker card has to be the foam tape from Heffy Doodle. It is nice and thick and does not have a sticky edge! In my humble opinion, it is the best!
The scene on this card is a combination of stamps and dies from Time for Tea and Heffy Doodle. Let's break it down.
The cafe and critters images are from a new stamp set from Time for Tea, Cafe Critters. I fell in love with it right away, seeing how critters and food are some of my favorite stamps to play with. I used a slimline border die set, Slimline Scenery, from Heffy Doodle to create the sidewalk. The trees are also from a Heffy Doodle die set, Forest Builder, I felt they really helped to set the scene and bring out some green from the rainbow background. I knew I wanted a sun in my scene so I searched through my Heffy Doodle stash and found the perfect little sun in the Flying High stamp set. I wanted to make this card a cheery get well card tell in a friend that when they are feeling better we could get together again, maybe for a coffee, like in the scene. The die cut get well sentiment is one of several die cut sentiments in the Heffy Doodle collection. There is even Get Well Sentiments to go with this die cut and I used one that says, "so sorry your under the weather" on the inside of this card.
I had so much fun making this card and love to combine new stamp with things I already have in my stash. I know you are going to love this hop and seeing the creations of the rest of the designers. Below you will find all the info on the GIVEAWAYS, be sure to comment and enter.

Hello! I am super excited for this sweet release from Trinity Stamps! So many goodies to play with, but not an overwhelming amount either. And today the Design Team gets to show off this new release with a YouTube and Instagram Hop! And that means lots of inspiration and new ideas for you as well as a GIVEAWAY!
You can start hoping along with us right here with my video. I have used the new Here Spore You stamp set to create a slimline slider card.
You can also enter our Instagram Giveaway by hoping along with us over there.
Now let's take a closer look at this card.
In this set we have one sad mushroom and one happy mushroom. In this card my happy mushroom slides over to comfort the other mushroom.
I have used several Trinity classics to create this scene. For the background I used the Puffy Clouds slimline stencil and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. Setting an outdoor scene is easy on a slimline card with The Great Outdoors die set. I used to for my grass, tree trunks and tree tops. To give my happy mushroom movement I used the Slimline Twist and Slide die set, a great set for interactive card, especially in a slimline size. I accented the scene with a few little bugs, from the Bunny Burrow stamp set. This was my first ever stamp set from Trinity Stamps and is still my fave!
You can see how this slider comes together in the video above.

Hello my stamping friends. I am thrilled that is time for another Lawn Fawn Fans hop! Lawn Fawn Fans is a group of YouTubers that are friends of mine who all love Lawn Fawn. Welcome to our Winter Hop!
Each season we do a hop to share our love of all things Lawn Fawn. Each hop we have a sponsor of our video and this time we have TWO!
Both of these companies are small businesses that carry Lawn Fawn (among other things) in their shop.
Not 2 Shabby is owned and operated by Jamie Peters, she also designs her own stamp sets. She is a gem and is so good at getting orders out lickity split! Jamie is generously giving a $25 US gift certificate to her shop for this hop.
Hobby Hoppers is owned and operated by Trish who named her website Hobby Hoppers after the fact that she found herself hopping from hobby to hobby. Something I am sure we can all relate to! Hobby Hoppers is based in Australia and ships to AU, USA and New Zealand. Trish has generously given a $50 AU gift certificate to her shop for this hop.
Be sure to check out each of their shops.
To enter our GIVEAWAYS be sure to hop along with us over on YouTube and leave comments as you watch the videos.
You can start the hop right here on my video. I have made a Cerealsly cute card with a Lip Balm in it!!!
I used the new Cerealsly Awesome stamp set from Lawn Fawn's latest release. I just love a tiny stamp set. AND, I happen to love cereal cards with a little cereal lip balm with it. Would you be surprised to know that this is not the first cereal with chapstick card I have made??? It's true and yes, a little weird. BUT, so much fun!!!
I used some fun products from My Favorite things to add this cereal inspired lip balm to my card. There are pouches, dies, and stamps. I have them linked for you below incase adding crazy flavored lip balm to your projects also makes you giddy!
And when you open up this card you can still see the lip balm and the puns continue.
The base of the card measures 11" x 9-3/4", scored at 5-1/2". The red card front panel is 4" x 4".
And the rip strip on the back allows you to rip open a spot on the card to retrieve the lip balm.
The card front itself has Lots of Hearts stenciled on it with Pearl Paste. What a fun stencil set. And the pearl paste should come with a do not eat warning, it is soooo yummy looking!!!
If you have yet to hop along with the video hop I have links to each video for you below.

Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!
I LOVE a mash up, mixing and mashing products from different companies to make one project. And it allows me to try out products from other stamp companies that I may have yet to use. In this case The Greeting Farm. This was my first time playing with their products. I chose two stamp sets that both have fairies in them. I thought these two sets; Little Fairies and With Love stamp set. Another thing I love about The Greeting Farm is that they have digital images. I did get a digital stamp set from the shop, but did not end up using it on this card, it is the Fairyland Digi Set.
If you already follow me you know that I am on the design team for Heffy Doodle and already love their products. Here are the Heffy Doodle things I used to make today's card; Big Shadow Box die set, Let's Polka Stencil, Slimline Scenery Dies, Big Stitched Cloud dies, Flying High stamp set.
You can see the making of this card in the video below.
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also watch it over on my YouTube Channel.
I started by using the Big Shadow Box Die set to make my card. I brought in the Slimline Scenery dies to die cut the "bridge" pieces that go inside the shadow box. This was the perfect setting for my sky fairies. For the background of my shadow box, I pulled out the Heffy Doodle stencil, Let's Polka and used Auqualicious link from Altenew.
The die cut cloud you see in the front of the box actually comes with the Big Shadow Box die set. I also stamped a couple clouds to fill in the scene, both are from the Flying High stamp set, as well as the sunshine image. The rest of the stamped images are from The Greeting Farm stamp sets.
These fairies are just so super sweet! I love their hair and sweet faces. The fairy with the blue hair has been suspended on a piece of window sheet. That makes her look like she is just flitting about like a fairy does.
I used the little baby fairies from the With Love stamp set for the sides of the boxes. And since these fairies have yet to hear their wings they are hanging out on die cut clouds from the Big Stitched Clouds die set.
Both of the sentiments on the sides of the card are also from the With Love stamp set.
On the back of the card I added a large die cut hello from The Greeting Farm. Both companies have some great stand alone greeting dies. I also left a blank spot to add a personalized message when I give this card.
Shadow Box cards are so much fun to make! And make for something cute that the recipient can display.
Now let's chat about this hop, two great things about a hop are lots of fun ideas from several designers and a GIVEAWAY!!! Here are all the Giveaway details.
To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop! The Greeting Farm will be giving away $35 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores! Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM EST on Jan 21st to be entered to win!
Each company will post their random winner on Jan 22nd at 10AM EST! Make sure to check theHeffy Doodle Blog and The Greeting Farm Blog to see if you’re a winner!

Hello there my stamping friends. Today is a NEW RELEASE day over at Trinity Stamps! You can check out the entire new release right here.
To celebrate the new release, the Design Team is bringing you some inspiration with the new products. I am featuring the Happy Dance Stamp and coordinating die set. And I am bringing in a new stencil set, City Lights as well as the new 9x4 Mixed Media paper! I just had to play with this new paper, so I pulled out my inks, embossing powder, watercolors, sprays and stencil to make a fun background for this card. Check it out!
I wanted to use the Galaxy background technique for this night sky full of fireworks as a backdrop for my happy dancers. They are ready to ring in a new year for sure! I think it is fun to send out a New Year's card, especially if the holidays got too busy and you did not get Christmas cards out. That has even happened to me, no shame in it. Sometimes life is like that. So why not a New Years card?
You can see how I created this background in the video below.
Remember today's post is part of hop. You are going to want to join the fun and enter to win a Trinity Stamps gift certificate too.
You can start the hop on YouTube with my video, right here. You find a link to the next stop on the hop there.
There is also a hop on Instagram, so even more chances to win! You can find me on Instagram (HERE) and join the fun there too.
The image of the Congo line is the main image in the Happy Dance stamp set. This image and stamp set are great for so many occasions besides just New Years. They could be Rockin' Around a Christmas tree! Celebrating a birthday or wedding too! I love the retro feel of this image. And it comes with the Happy New Year sentiment as well as another that says This calls for a Happy Dance.
I inked up my image with two different colors before embossing it with clear powder for a fun look that coordinates with the fireworks on this card. The fireworks are from the City Light stencil set, which also has city scapes you can stencil as well.
Be sure to check out the entire release HERE, there are so many new die sets to love as well as a new line of sentiments that are MUST HAVES!

Hey there stamping friends! I am thrilled that one of my favorite stamp companies now has their products available in the US!!! Time for Tea Designs is so excited that their products are now available in the US over at Simon Says Stamp! To celebrate this, they have recruited some North American-based designers (including me!) to help spread the news with a blog hop. Be sure to hop along to see some adorable creations with a few of the NEW Time For Tea products that are now available over at Simon Says Stamp! I hope that you will be inspired and have fun along the way. AND, keep reading to find out more about this hop's giveaway!
Time for Tea has some seriously cute images and I am thrilled that they are now more accessible than ever to get in the States.
Now let's take a look at these products in action and see these cards come together.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it over on my YouTube channel.
I love making slimline cards, and this Slimline Hillside die set made it very easy to create these scenes. With this slimline size I was able to create a scene that fit in two paper airplanes from the Paper Plane Pals stamp set.
To create these scenes I used Distress Oxide Inks and a couple other distress products. Be sure to watch the video to see the different panels come to life.
What I love about this Paper Plane die set is that the die for the airplane cuts a slit in the plane for the critter to fit in to. No pulling out the craft knife for that. YAY! Look how cute that panda is in the plane. I used a black gel pen to add little dots to his eyes.
I added a little bystander to the scene, this little donut eating dog is from the All Occasions Critters. He's loving the airshow, hehehe.
Now let's look at the second card made with the Snappy Before Coffee stamp set.
These critters really are so cute! I also love the smiling coffee pot!!! I had a lot of fun on this card painting in the subtle clouds in the background, a very easy distress technique with water. I show you how to do it in the video.
Have you ever seen a cuter hippo in a bow tie before???
The coffee card is a fun image for building outdoor scenes too.
These two snappy friends, meeting up for coffee, reminds me of meeting up with my friend Georgie. She always smiles and giggles with me and wants to know all the things about me since we last talked. But don't worry, I also have to hear all her news too!
I just loved making these little scene with these adorable images. Now it is time to hop along and see what the other designers have made for this hop.
Time for Tea Designs is giving away $30 worth of T4TD products that are now available at Simon Says Stamp! Be sure to leave a comment on EACH blog as you hop along with us to enter this giveaway.
