Hey there I am back with Part Three of my Slimline Snow Globe series. In this video I am sharing how to make the Slimline Snow Globe card from Scrappy Tails into a Shadow Box Card! If you missed Part One and Two on making a Spinner and a Shaker out of this die set you can watch them here; Part One and Part Two.
For this shadow box card I used the Christmas Tree Spinner Add On Die set. But this card does not spin, having the other layers of the shadow box would get in the way of the tree spinning, but you could have it dangle like I did with the snowman in my shaker card. I did some very simple paper piecing on this tree and I think it really stands out with the white ornaments.
You can watch this card being made in the video below.
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can watch it right HERE.
For the other layers of this shadow box I have a layer of Christmas presents in front of the tree, and in front of the presents I have one of the deer.
I also used some strips of window sheet to attach a couple snowflakes so they appear to be suspended in the air at the top of the card, in front of the Christmas tree.
And of course I added plenty of embellishment to the outside of the card too, with more die cuts, a sentiment, bling and glitter too.
If you are wondering about where you right on this card, the back of the card has a nice spot for your heartfelt wishes. And you are able to press this card flat to mail. If you are like me and like a lot of layers and bling then you might want to consider mailing it in a bubble mailer or, included it in a package. Of course, hand delivery is also a great option.
Below I have all the supplies I used to make today's card. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.

Hello there my stamping friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am hopping along with the design team from The Rabbit Hole Designs! I feel blessed to be asked to guest design with them for their August Release and the previous July Release as well. Getting to know MaryAnn, the owner of TRHD, has been a blessing in my life. Connecting with people in the paper crafting industry and making friends with people you might otherwise have never met is my favorite thing about working in the paper crafting industry. And I hope to get to know you better too. Us crazy for paper people need to stick together!
Now let's chat about the August release!!! The two stamp and coordinating die sets in this release are DARLING! And they are so much fun too. I love all the images. We have Balloon Animals #1 and Balloon Animals #2. And yes, you are going to want both!!! They coordinate together and both have some great, punny sentiments.
To see both stamp sets and the card I made you can check out this video.
If you cannot see the video up on this screen, you can also watch it right HERE.
There are so many ways you can stamp out these balloons, for this card I stamped the images on colored card stock with Versamark ink (which is a clear sticky ink) and then embossed them with clear powder.
To highlight my stamped images, I used Copic Markers to add a shadow and a white gel pen to add a highlight.
I love the images portrayed in these stamp sets, I had a hard time choosing. In the end I went with three that I thought would work well together on a slimline card; the snail, flower, and butterfly.
I wanted my card to have plenty of sparkle and shimmer. I added each stamped image to a piece of glittery craft foam to kick off the sparkle. The shaker puts the shimmer level at HIGH. If you are interested in the shaker bit and slimline shaker pocket I used you can find all the things linked for you below.
I had to include another balloon animal on the inside of the card and color it with Copic Markers. Want to know how I colored this, it's in the video and it's pretty easy to do.
Want to see more creations with these stamp and die sets? Below you will find all the stops on the hop!
I made the card first, it is a Slimline Full Panel shaker, made using the slimline pockets from Trinity Stamps. I also used the North Pole Gnomes stamp set to add a couple extra reindeer to this card. You can see that set as well as the entire Holiday Release at Trinity Stamps right HERE.
The snowflakes in the background of this card are Hot Foiled, it is a new 14 pieces hot foiling snowflake set, with dies to cut out each of the snowflakes as well.
It's the Frosty Foiled Flakes set, cute name!
And, I could not have made this scene with out the Embossed Edge Hills & Slopes die set. It has the perfect die to create a slope to sled down!
I used another of the Shaker Pouches from Trinity Stamps to make this full panel circle shaker tag. It is large, 4-1/4"! Big enough that you could make it a circle shape card. And big enough for my sledding gnomes. The background of this tag features the Pine Forest Background stamp. It a great whimsical background. You can find this stamp set and much more holiday fun HERE, in the new Holiday Release at Trinity Stamps .
And get your Sledding Gnomes Stamp set before they sell out right HERE.
Let me know if you get this set and if I should share more ideas with it!
Today I am sharing the gorgeous fun products I got from Spellbinders club kit program for the month of June.
Spellbinders has 8 kits that you can subscribe to! Each month you get a new kit of the month in the mail. And I can say, after receiving several club kits a month for over 2 years, they are always amazing! I get 4 club kits each month; Large Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Clear Stamp and Die of the Month, Embossing Folder of the Month. Another thing that makes me so happy about these club kits is that most months all these products coordinate together!!!!! My two card creations today are showing you how nicely these products work together.
The kits this month inspired me to create some Gate Fold cards in some large sizes. I have a 6" x 6" gate fold and a 5" x 7" gate fold card.
Below you can see these cards come together and get a close up look at the club kits I used. If you can not see the video up on your screen, you can watch it on my YouTube channel.
Let's take a close up look at each card.
This 6" x 6" Gate Fold card opens in the center and the flaps go up and down. The Large Die of the month is made for the focal piece to be used twice and mirror itself. Which made it perfect for adding to a gate fold.
The peach layer of this card measures 5-3/4" x 11-1/2", score the long size at 2-7/8" and 8-5/8". I then mounted this onto a white piece of card stock that is 6" x 6".
All the die cuts you see on this card are from the Large Die of the Month, Paisley Dreams. This set has dies that can be used to paper piece on top of this focal image so this element can have several different colors.
Look closely at the background on this card, I was able to stamp on to the die cut pieces using the Clear Stamp of the Month, Happy Moments. I used another stamp from this set on the inside of the card.
The Clear Stamp of the Month kit can be purchased with or without the coordinating die set. And this set is a great stand alone stamp set and does not have to be used with the Large Die of the month set. But how cool that it does coordinate!
My second large gate fold card is 5" x 7". To create this take a 7" x 10" piece of card stock. Score it at 2-1/2" and 7-1/2".
I then added panels to each of the flaps. These panels measure 2-1/4" x 6-3/4". Do you love the embossing on these panels??? That is from the June Embossing Kit, Botanical Diamond. Each month the embossing folder that you receive is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", which means I was able to embossing both of these panels at the same time, yay!
The show stopper on this card though has to be the belly band! First, let's go over the measurements. The top layer of the belly band is 1-3/4" x 11". After hot foiling it I layered it on a white piece of light weight card stock that is 2" x 11". The belly band gets wrapped around the card and the ends adhered. Then the band is able to slide on and off the card.
The Glimmer Kit, Paisley Glimmer, has a super cool paisley plate that is a long strip of double rows of paisleys. I used Aura foil to foil my belly band with it. This glimmer set also comes with 3 sentiments. I used Forever Friend on my card hot foiled with Aura foil on peach card stock and die cut out with the coordinating dies. Which is another great thing about the hot foil kit of the month, almost every month the set include coordinating dies. AND a roll of foil too. This month the included foil is RAINBOW!!!
Speaking of coordinating dies, this set has two dies to cut out the foiled paisley. Which I used to add a few paisleys to the inside of this card.
Be sure to check out all the club kit offerings in the supply list below.

I am back with my 4th Episode in the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series! Today's card was inspired by two of my favorite cards from last year! One had a woodland kitchen of mice, the other has removable snow globe shaker ornaments. SO, I am making an amazing holiday kitchen for my mice, but this time in a slimline shadow box card. AND, to decorate the out side of that shadow box, I have two removable snow globe shaker ornaments!
Here you can see all the fun the mice are having in the kitchen, baking up all kinds of holiday treats.
You can watch this card come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it here.
You can see here that I really went to town, stamping, coloring and die cutting out images for this card. I really wanted to dress up the frame of this card with al kinds of goodies.
And on the inside I love to have a lot to look at inside my shadow box cards. And these mice have been busy this season with gingerbread houses, cookies, cakes, and lots more. They are hoping to sell enough of their homemade goods so they can open up their own shop, Very Mice Treats!
I could not let the fun end there. So I created two mini snow globe shaker ornaments that attach to the sides of the shadow box with hidden magnets from Inky Stamper .
This Snow Globe Scenes stamp set is such a fun one. It has scenes you can put in these globes or you can create your own like I have done here. I loved having little scenes that go with my card in these ornaments. They very easily can be removed and because the magnet is hidden, you can not see a magnet either on the card or on the ornament.
If you missed an episode in this "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series I have listed and linked the first three episodes for you below.
Below you will find all the supplies I used to make today's card and ornaments. If you have any questions about these projects please let me know in the comments below. And I just love hearing from you.

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!
Thank you so much for stopping by, be sure to join the hop for inspiration with this new release.

YAY! It is time for Episode Two of my "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. This week I am featuring the Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry stamp set from Stamptember. This set was designed by Lawn Fawn for Simon Says Stamp for their big annual event in September. Meaning that is is a limited time offer and when they are gone they are gone. So, that being said, this set did sell out FAST. So fast, I was not able to get the coordinating die set, only the stamp set. So, today I am going to show you how I used my Silhouette Cameo and the PixScan mat to cut out stamped images when I don't have a die set. That also means that you are not able to purchase the stamp set I am using today at Simon Says Stamp. I bet a lot of you reading this might already have this stamp set!
This card started with the All Spruced Up Slimline frame stamp. This stamp made for the perfect scene for these Christmas Sloths. Behind them is a nigh sky created with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and a lot of snowy splatter.
I used COPIC Markers to color in my images. I found these images be very easy to color. Using a white gel pen for highlights after coloring helps bring the images to life.
I just love this sloth in the stocking so much! I used him again on my tag.
If you look closely at this card you can not only see splatters of snow but some patches of 3D snow, which was done using Stencil Paste in Pearl. It makes great snow. AND I am giving a jar of it away this week! To enter the giveaway you just need to leave a comment on the video for this post over on YouTube.
Now let's take a look at the coordinating tag.
This snowflake die is soooooo super cute, I mean, just DARLING. I thought it would make a great gift tag that doubles as an ornament.
This is a shaker tag filled with white sand. It makes for the perfect snow. I found it at the craft store where they were selling items to make fairy houses.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back again next week with another episode in the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. Watch for it on Tuesday.
And if you missed episode one, using Tiny Winter People in a Magic Iris card, you can watch it right here.
Below are the supplies I used to make today's projects.

It's time to check out the Large Die of the Month for November 2021 from Spellbinders. Once I again, I am blown away by how gorgeous this die set is! And the versatility. Several of the dies in this set can be used on any card, not just for Christmas. This die set is called Christmas Foliage Strips & Borders. There are 13 dies in this set, four of which are slimline border dies.
First, let's take a look at the card and gift tag I made with this new die set.
Look at the foliage, so very pretty. For these projects I went for a vintage Christmas vibe. You can see the backgrounds created and this die set in action in the video below.
I had so much fun making the backgrounds for these projects. First I did some ink blending with Distress Oxide ink; Black Soot for the bottom and Rustic Wilderness for the top. The next step was splatter. I used water, Distress Mica Sprays, and distress oxide ink. I just love how they turned out.
But the star of this show is all the amazing die cuts. You can see all the foliage dies here, layered on top of the border die. To add a bit of interest to my die cut foliage I used a W4 or W6 marker to add shading and then spritzed the pieces with Distress Mica Spray stain.
Once all the pieces were mounted to the card I added more splatter, this time with white acrylic paint for a snowy effect.
After making this card I has several die cut foliage pieces left over and so I used them to make a gift tag.
Do you see the sentiments I used on today's projects? They were stamped and embossed using the Clear Stamp of the Month for November, also from Spellbinders. I love that they coordinate the products in the different club kits to work together. This month's set is called Around the Holidays and now you can get a die set to coordinate with it!
I used all the same techniques for this tag as I did on the card, but have to point out that lacy trim round the bottom of the tag. That is one of the slimline border dies from this months die set, but it can also be used on other sized cards/projects as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share these projects with you.
All of the November Club kit offerings are listed and linked for you below as well as the supplies I used to make these projects.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I would love to hear from you, so feel free to comment below as well.

Today I am playing with stamps from TLC Designs for the first time! Trinity Stamps and TLC Designs are coming together for a mash up Instagram Hop. And I am so happy to get to be part of it. TLC has some very cute images. I picked the Troll Cricket Fun stamp set. I love the art work of these darling little trolls and the frog and mushroom in this set just make it!
As you can see, there is a tab on this card that says PULL! Another part of this hop is that all the designers are making interactive cards! I chose the Slimline Twist and Slide die set from Trinity Stamps. When you pull the tab it looks like the little trolls are running to each other for a hug.
Here you can see what the card looks like when you pull the tab out. The characters move and when you push the tab in they move in the opposite direction.
There are a few dies that allow you to create this mechanism in the Slimline Twist and Slide die set by Trinity Stamps. It's one of those die sets that makes sense on how to use it once you see it being done. And one that you can use for so many different things. I know several of the other designers on this hop are using this die set too, so there will be a lot of inspiration for you and different ideas on how to use it.
This is an Instagram hop and you can join the hop on my page HERE.
Below you can find all the supplies I used to make this card.

Hello there stamping friends, I am back with more creations using the All Aboard Kit from Spellbinders. I previously used this kit to make twenty one A2 sized cards. If you missed that you can check it out in this video. When making those cards I did not use the die set that comes in this kit, the train die set. So, today's projects focus on the train.
You can see this card and tag come together in this video.
This train is pretty easy to put together as the die creates scored lines in the train indicating where the layering elements go. And the kit comes with an idea sheet that shows you each piece put together and it is very helpful.
All the paper I used to make this card is from the kit. Instead of using red card stock I used the red glitter card stock for some added interest. Each train car has a different color and is holding something different. This die set comes with dies to make ornaments, presents and trees.
For the background I added a bit of Broken China distress oxide ink around the edge of my light blue card stock panel. Then I added three layers of splatter. First, a mist of water, then white acrylic paint and last Sparkle Silk. When all the was dry I stamped the snowflake image from the kit in Chipped Sapphire ink to complete the snowy scene.
I had enough left over train elements that I decided to make a coordinating gift tag. This time I decided to go for a white train. You can have so much fun with this die set making different color trains, and it is good beyond the Christmas season too.
If you are wondering about the realistic snow I added to my projects it is the Snowfall Grit Paste from Tim Holtz latest Ranger release. It was a limited edition product, so if you are reading this and this product is no longer available you can use white or translucent grit paste and add glitter to it for a similar look.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you want to see what all comes in this amazing All Aboard Kit, I have a complete unboxing video right HERE you can check out.
All the supplies I used to make these projects are listed for you below.

Hey there. I am back to share with you the card I made on the Trinity Stamp Instagram yesterday, LIVE!!! It was a ton of fun and I got to share one of the coolest new stamp sets from their Autumn Impression release, the Pick of the Patch slimline stamp. I went all out on this card! I did some hot foiling, ink smooshing, coloring and embossing! Check out the final card right here.
If you missed the LIVE demonstration you can still view it right here.
The hot foiled Hello is one of a handful of new Cut & Foil sets that Trinity Stamps has started carrying.
It is a solid and bold plate, which can mean that it will be harder to foil than a thin line plate. BUT, if you use the right card stock, you will not have that trouble. I recommend the White Card Stock by Heffy Doodle.
I also used this same white card stock to do some coloring with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Previously, I was only able to use these markers on Bristol Smooth card stock, but the Heffy Doodle White Card stock is soooooo smooth, it is perfect for the Zig markers!
You can see that I used the Slimline Pick of the Patch stamp over the top of my ink smooshed background. But this stamp would also make a great focal point image for a slimline card. And you don't have to limit it's use to slimline card either. I love that this stamp set also comes with a couple pumpkins, faces you can stamp on them and 3 sentiments. It's versatile enough to use for fall like I have done on this card or, use with the jack-o-lantern faces for a Halloween project.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I have listed and linked all the things I used to make this card for you below.
Let me know if you have any questions.

It's release day at Trinity Stamps and I am playing with one of my favorite dies from this release. And it is part of a YouTube hop! You are going to LOVE all the new inspiration in the projects you see today.
You can check out ALL of the products in this amazing new release right HERE.
For my projects I chose to play with the new Slimline Skelly Die set. And when I first saw this skeleton die set I really wanted to make a rainbow skeleton! And that is what I did today. I die cut the skeleton one time, but was able to make 2 shaker cards!!! One being a FULL PANEL shaker and the other traditional style shaker. You can check out the video right here and see these fun cards come together.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can watch it right HERE.
The Slimline Skelly die set is very cleverly designed because it has a die that cuts out all the bones and it has a die that cuts all around the skeleton. As well as a few accent pieces for it; a hat, bow, and heart. At the end of this post I share two other cards I made using the skeleton die with the outline die. For these cards I ink blended a panel of white card stock with the following Distress Oxide colors; Kitsch Flamingo, Mustard Seed and Salvaged Patina. This blended into a beautiful rainbow panel. I die cut the skeleton from this panel. I used the bones for my full panel shaker card and the negative panel for a traditional shaker card. Tell me what you think of a rainbow skeleton. I am loving how it turned out and think this could be used other times beside just Halloween.
If you are not familiar with a Full Panel style shaker card it is very easy to create! You just need to save up some cellophane type packaging material. The piece I used was the packaging from a pack of vellum. I cut it so it was larger than my card front panel. The panel is 3-1/4" x 8-1/4", the plastic is about 4-1/4" x 9-1/4".
Once your card panel is complete you lay it face down onto the plastic sheet, so it is centered. Cut off the corners of the plastic sheet, pretty close to the card front panel. Then using double stick tape you wrap and adhere the flaps of the plastic around the card front panel, only doing 3 sides. Do not pull it back too tight. Leaving one end open allows you to now add the shaker elements. I used the Oh My Stars Silver Holographic mix. Lastly, fold over and adhere the third flap. Then you can adhere this panel down to your card as normal.
I attached my full shaker panel to a scalloped border from the Slimline Scalloped Card Panel Die set, which also has the die I used to cut the black sentiment strip. The sentiments are both from the new Shaker Your Bones stamp set, which if you love skeletons, you are going to LOVE. It is stamp set of skeletons in all different poses and some punny sentiments. Like, "it's going tibia okay".
If you look closely to at the background behind the skeleton in this full panel shaker cards you may be able to see some wispy clouds in a Metallic Frost ink. I stenciled those on used the October Night stencil set.
Now let's chat about the traditional shaker card.
I loved my ink blended rainbow panel so much that I could not just throw out the panel after die cutting it. I thought it would make a great shaker card panel. So, I adhered it to a window sheet and piece in the eyes, nose, ribs and pelvis bones. I added the bow and heart die cut from glitter paper, as I did on the first card as well. Then I lined the back of it with foam strips, add more of the Oh My Stars mix and backed that with another window sheet. Doing the sandwich method with the window sheets makes it so much easier to then add the shaker to the card.
Since my original ink blended panel was only 7" long. I added a strip of glitter paper to the top and bottom of the card and this made the perfect spot to add my sentiments.
You can really see all the shimmer I added to the rainbow panel in the picture below. That is good old Perfect Pearls mixed with water and splattered on.
I added some bling to my cards too, the Melanite Magic Rhinestones. They are black gems with an iridescent finish.
I would love to know which card is your favorite! Leave a comment below to let me know, I so enjoy chatting with you.

Welcome back! This post is for Episode Two of my August Stamp Set of the Month series. This month I am featuring the Trinity Stamps set, Forest Par-Tea. And in this weeks episode I am making a slimline wide box card. It is such a fun style of card to do with a 3D scene.
This card was made using the Slimline Wide Box die set by Trinity Stamps. I love that the guess work of making a card like this is done for me with the help of this die set.
You can see it all come together in this episode below.
To create the scene inside this box I used image from the Forest Par-Tea set of course, but also the Bunny Burrow set which coordinates with this et so nicely! I used the flowers, the forward facing bunny, and the insects to add to this picnic par-tea in the park. The die cut trees and birds are from The Great Outdoors die set. I love this set with is elements that help build an outdoor scene!
If you like this card you will also like the backyard par-tea scene I created for Episode One, you can watch it right here.
All the supplies I used to make today's card are listed and linked for you below. Be sure to check back in next Tuesday night for another Episode featuring this stamp set.

This stamp set has cute critters and all the fixings for a perfect tea party!
I decided to set this tea party scene in a backyard setting, as it is a scene I saw a lot of when my two girls were little. They would dress up and I would help make them fun little foods and they'd pull out their little tea set. How I miss those days!
You can see this card come together in the video below.
The houses I used to create this scene are from the Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood stamp set. I love the size of these houses, not too big and not too small. and such a great variety of images in the set. And they work great with the fun images from the Forest Par-Tea set I am using as well.
I love the critters in this stamp set, but all the other supporting images just MAKE this set. The stump as the table and the tiny cookies and strawberries are so very adorable. I was so happy to add them to my scene. And can you see the little hats for the critters to dress up in! Darling.
Creating little scenes like this is one of my favorite kind of cards to make. How about you? Do you make scene cards? Let me know in the comments below.

Tune in every Tuesday night at 8pm MST on my YouTube channel this month for a new episode featuring this stamp set.
Hey there, I love the beginning of the month and sharing with you the new kits from Spellbinders. In this post I am sharing the Glimmer Kit of the Month for August 2021. This kit has 4 hot foil plates and 1 die. The hot foil plates are two floral sprays, one sentiment and one hex shape. The die is a larger hex shape that will die cut around the hot foiled shape. These florals are beautiful and are great for repeat foiling to create a background. Which I did a bit of on my slimline card. I also used the die to make a mini shaker on this card. I also used the Bright Pink foil that comes in the kit to do all of the foiling on this card.
You can see this kit in action and this card come together in the video below.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can view it right here.
You can see here that I not only used this set to make a floral background, but I used the die and the sentiment to make a mini shaker window on this card.
To give my flowers a bit more interest I added a bit of shading with some colored pencils. I used white on the centers of the flowers and the stems and branches. Light pink on largest flowers and a darker pink on the small flowers. I love the pop this gave the flowers and that it still kept with the pink theme of the card.
I finished off the card with a splattering of Bubble Gum and Sparkle silk.
Another thing to note about the kits of the month is that several of them work together. This month the Large Die of the Month, Small Die of the Month, Clear Stamp of the Month and the Glimmer Kit of the Month all coordinate! I love that mixing and matching the different kits just expands my creativity. If you are interested in receiving multiple kits at a time Spellbinders has bundle options available.
Below I have listed and linked all the supplies I used to make this card, as well as all the kit options that Spellbinders has to offer.

The Large Die of the Month for August 2021 is here. Spellbinders has another great slimline die set for this month's kit. It is the Hex Kaleidoscope Slimline Die set. This die set has 5 dies in it. Two are slimline dies that nest together and three are layering hex shaped kaleidoscope pieces. These pieces then fit on to the slimline cover plate die cut. It is a beautiful set.
This die set is so pretty and just by changing up the colors you use can create so many different looks.
As with so many kits of the month that Spellbinders has to offer this months kit coordinate together. The floral images and the sentiment on this card are from the Clear Stamp of the Month for August, Hex Tile Stamps. The florals in this stamp set are awesome. It has a black outline stamp and then solid shape stamps to stamp over the top to fill in the flower with color! The result is stunning. And I love that the sentiments in this stamp set fit the hex shape perfectly.
I also used the Glimmer Kit of the Month on this card. The Glimmer Kit is a Hot Foil kit, but also in this months kit there is a Hex shaped die that fits on this die perfectly. I used that die to cut out the vellum over lays for this card. Stay tuned for a video and post featuring the Glimmer Kit tomorrow!
If you are interested in Spellbinders Kits of the Month I have them all linked for you below. They are such a great value and never disappoint. Let me know if you have any questions about them. If there are several kits you are interested in getting they do offer bundles and I have those linked for you to check out as well.

Hi there, how are all my crafty friends? Today I am sharing a card I made using Heffy Doodle products. Heffy Doodle has fast become one of my faves. They have really cute stamps and some great dies. Among those great dies are several slimlines that I just adore. I am going to use three different slimline die sets on today's card. The star of which has to be the Little Town Border die.
I love simple die sets like this one that can be paired with images that I already have and bring them new life. The Little Town Border die set is one of those sets and makes a great backdrop for so many cute scenes.
For my scene I wanted to have a delivery truck rolling by delivering happy mail.
This speedy delivery truck is out working hard delivery packages and happy mail in this little town. And when you move the card the truck slides to the other side for a fun interactive element.
I started off this card creating the background, which is the pink cloudy sky. This panel was cut using the smallest stitched rectangle from the Stitched Slimline Trio die set. I added the clouds to this white panel using Kitch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and the Cloudy Skies Stencil. I cut my stencil apart so instead of inserting my smaller card into the stencil I can use the pieces on any size card. I only did one row of clouds and then I softened the white area under the clouds with the left over ink on my blending tool. I then added a bit of sparkle by splattering on some Perfect Pearls. I set that aside to dry and die cut a second rectangle with the same stitched die that I then die cut using the Little Town Border die from white card stock. To get the green grass covered up each house and tree using Heffy Tape. Then I added Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink to make the grass this minty shade of green. I splattered this with water and also Perfect Pearls. After removing the Heffy Tape I then colored in the houses and tree with E33 and E35 COPIC Markers. Then it was time to die cut the opening for the slider, which I did using the largest die from the Straight Sliders Die set. I made sure to save the piece that die cuts out, to add back in, so when all finished the area behind the slider is not pink or white from the background, but green to match the grass.
The Little Town Border die set comes with extra dies that cut out roof tops, pieces to go behind the houses for the lights and tree tops. I die cut the roof tops from dark brown card stock, the behind pieces from a light yellow card stock and the tree tops from a scrap piece of card stock that I ink blended with the Cracked Pistachio ink, so they would match the grass. Then it was time to get my truck ready. This cute little truck is from the Home Sweet Home stamp set, which is a great stamp set for someone who is moving or just moved in. I used to make card for a new home owner that resembled the “Up” house, you can check that out right here if you like. I colored in this delivery truck to look like one that frequents my house that is also brown and yellow. The tiny die cut hearts on the truck and above the houses are from the same die set that the postage looking panel is from; Slimline Mini Mail die set. I love the postage stamp feel of that die cut! And you can always use a tiny die cut heart! They were such a cute touch for this card.
I had some little clay elements that are envelopes that I thought would be fun to have behind the truck, like the blew out. Although, the thought of lost mail does make me very sad. And I have to say thank you to Amanda from Twiddler's Nook who sent me these clay element along with a some other fun things I won in a giveaway!
If you have never made a slider before it is easier than it seems. To get the truck to move along the track you put a penny behind the track a strip of foam tape on the penny and stick the truck (or sliding image) to the foam tape. To make my truck a bit sturdier I added two additional die cuts to the back of it, but this is not necessary. It is also helpful to use an anti-static powder on the track incase your foam tape has any residual stickiness on the edges. And the sliding panel needs to be attached to the card with foam tape, giving the space needed for the penny to slide. Take care when applying the foam tape, so that it doe not get too close to the penny and stop it from sliding.
I added a cute little sentiment from the Whatcha Sayin’ stamp and die set. I love talk bubbles and this was the perfect sentiment for my card.
To finish off this card I mounted it to a dark pink card base that is 8-1/2″ x 7″, scored at 3″.

All three of the products work and coordinate with each other. In this video I am going to show you all of these projects up close and show you different ways to pair them together. Then I will be creating 6 cards! Watch the video right here.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it right here.
Now let's take a close up look at each of the cards I made with this collection.
This card uses all three of the products in this collection. I used the stencil to ink blend a tree that I then die cut out with the coordinating dies to make the top of the focal point tree. I also used the stencils to make a snowy background that I also added splatter too with Sparkle Silk and Cool Pool Silk. The Merry Christmas sentiment is hot foiled using the Shining Christmas Tree Glimmer set from this collection.
The panel for this shaker card is left over from the previous card. I added a lot of splatter to this panel using Silk and Rustic Forest Distress Oxide ink. the star is die cut out and it is embossed with a detail die that comes in the Oh Christmas Tree die set, it only embosses and does not die cut, it is a very cool touch to this set. The round accent embellishments on this card are die cut circles that come in the same die set that you can use to decorate one of the die cut trees. I loved them die cut from holographic paper and used as an embellishment like I did here. Again, the hot foiled sentiments are a perfect touch to this card. All the hot foiling I did on today's card is done using Prism foil. It is silver with an iridescent finish.
I wanted to show this tree on several card sizes, so you could get the feel of the actual size of the tree. Here I made a mini slimline card. The tree was stenciled with Rustic Forest Distress Oxide ink and then I used Nuvo Glacier Paste in Sea Sprite to add the second layer of stenciling. I love how this turned out! I used the same glacier paste for the stenciled background of falling snow.
This tree is all stenciled. The first layer is Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink, the second layer is Rustic Wilderness, the third is Metallix Gel in Pearl White (which seems to have been retired). The finished size of this card is 4-1/4" x 4-1/4". I use the Forevergreen Embossing folder for the background, it was the perfect match for this collection! The star is die cut from holographic paper and the sentiment is hot foiled with Prism foil.
This slimline card uses the stencil to create a background of trees and snow. The focal image tree is also stenciled, I added a second die cut tree behind it for a bit of shadow and to help it stand out. This tree is also hot foiled for added detail and shine.
I love that I can hot foil amazing details on to these trees!
This card is extra special because that gorgeous tree is a removable ornament. It attaches to the card with the help of Paper Crafting magnets that are super strong and thin.
I made sure to make the card so that when the ornament is removed the card is still pretty. This super fun idea was inspired by Chelsea Comer of Inky Stamper, which is where the Paper Crafting magnets I used on this card are from.
This super sparkly ornament was made with the Oh Christmas Tree die set. The base tree is cut from light green glitter paper and the top detailed tree is cut from silver holographic paper. The touches of Prism hot foil really add to the amazing shine of this piece.
I had so much fun playing with this collection. There are so many possibilities when it comes to mixing and matching the different sets in the Trim The Tree collection I just had to make so many things!

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! Welcome to the Scrappy Tails and Pear Blossom Press Collab Hop! Today, we’re sharing lots of whimsical cards that will really brighten your day. 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:

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.
