If you are new to my blog or YouTube channel you might not know about Stamp Set of the Month. It is a monthly series I do on my YouTube Channel. Each month I pick a stamp set that I love and share new ideas with it in weekly episodes on YouTube. I have taken a very long break from doing this and have missed it so it was time to bring it back! This week is EPISODE ONE! Each Thursday night at 7pm MST, you will find a new episode! To kick things off I am featuring the Wood You Be Mine stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
You can watch the Episode right here https://youtu.be/iaiIFMcPqDc
With this set I am making a Gift Box and three note card to fit inside.
This is little box is made using the Gift Box die set from Lawn Fawn, I love all the die pieces it has with it to dress it up. And it perfectly fits cards that are 4 Bar size; 3-1/2" x 5".
I made 3 of these cards using images from my stamp set of the month, Wood You Be Mine.
Here is a close up look at each of the cards.
I love trying to use al of the images in a set when I make a project like this and there are some super cute images in this set.
Below you will find all the supplies I used to make this project.
And stay tuned, next Thursday night I will be back with more ideas for you with this stamp set on my YouTube channel at 7pm MST.
Hello there, it is time for Episode 3 of my August Stamp Set of the Month series. Every Tuesday this month I am sharing creations made using the Forest Par-Tea stamp set from Trinity Stamps.
This week I am making a slimline scene for a Teddy Bear picnic and it is a shaker card too!
To make this card a cool shaker I used the Foliage frame die as my window. I love this leafy border and thought it would make a great frame for a picnic in the woods with a teddy bear and 3 mice.
To create the woodland background I used the Layered Birch stencil set. A little sponging and splattering of Rustic Wilderness ink helped set the scene.
Speaking of the scene. This teddy bear invited the mice to the party and did not know they were going to take over! These mice are from the Mouse House stamp set. I love how this card came together and the strawberry shaker elements were the perfect thing to add to this shaker!

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.

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!
----------> Have you played with the S'more the Merrier stamp set? Do you have a card made with it that you would like to share and have featured on an upcoming video? If so, leave me a comment below and I will get back to you with a link that you can use to send me your card. I will be sharing them on my GIVEAWAY video on 8/2/21!

Hey there stamping friends. It is time for the last episode of my May Stamp Set of the Month series, featuring the Painted Peony stamp set by Concord & 9th.
I love pairing florals with Gel Press Prints. There is something about adding soft pretty flowers to a bit grungy background that is so appealing to me. For my Gel Press prints I am sharing 3 of my favorite things to use on my Gel Press prints to create texture.
Check out this weeks episode and see these prints and cards come together.
If you can not see this video up on the screen, you can also view it right here.
If you missed an episode in this month series I have each of the episodes linked for you below:
Be sure to leave a comment on each of the four episodes over on my YouTube channel to be entered into the GIVEAWAY! Concord & 9th is sponsoring this months episode and giving one of you a $25 shopping spree to their shop! Everyone who comments on each episode will be entered. Winner will be announce on May 31st on my Community tab over on YouTube.
Now let's take a closer look at the three cards I made in this episode.
I am sure by this photo you can tell what one of my favorite things to use on the Gel Press is, Burlap. Pressing Burlap into the paint on a Gel Press gives you such amazing texture on your print. And I love how it looks with these orange peonies.
This print is more subtle, but it uses one of my other favorites to create texture in the paint, a potato produce bag. It creates an irregular pattern as it is such a fine material that it moves a little in the paint. I picked up my textured paint with a book page for this card, and I love the results. For this card I used only the small flower from the Painted Peony stamp set and it is stunning in this light purple color! I used the Rose Petal collection of inks from Altenew on these flowers.
This last card uses one of my all time faves for creating texture, bubble wrap!!! It is so much fun to use and press down on, you have to give it a try. If you are not that familiar with Gel Press print making or want to learn more about it please check out my other Gel Press videos HERE.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing my cards with you!

Hello my stamping friends, you are my people, you share the same struggles and joys when it comes to card making. And today I need my people! I made an ugly card! And I left it in the video! Because I know you understand. And, I get beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but my eyes could not see the beauty in this card. Be sure to watch today's video and see what I did to turn this card around. How I saved it and reused parts destined for the trash. And ended up with a smile on my face too.
This is episode 3 of my May Stamp Set of the Month series, Painted Peonies. I'd love to know what you think of my vintage inspired card and your tales of cards gone wrong too!
Concord & 9th is sponsoring this months series and giving away a $25 shopping spree to their shop to one of you! All you need to do is leave a comment on each video in this series to enter. Check out the description box of today's episode for all the details.
Now let's take a closer look at the vintage inspired card I made.
This is the card and tag I ended up with, made from the ugly card. The ugly version is in the video. The one thing going wrong in the ugly card was that the background was too busy for the large flower arrangement I was going for. To combat that I use vellum over my hand stamped background, which is a lot less busy than the first background. Also, my sentiment was too small on the first card, it did not stand out much. So I aded a Hot Foiled sentiment to this card for a sentiment that can grab your attention.
To give my projects a vintage feel I added touches of gold. These flower stamps are layering stamps, meaning you use 2 or 3 stamps, stamping them on top of each other in different colors to get more detail and dimension. I used a golden yellow and a light golden brown for my first two layers on these flowers. For the third layer I embossed with gold. I thought that was a very fun vintage touch.
This coordinating tag actually used the background from the UGLY card and it works here because it is a small piece. My card today is a 5" x 7" card and it was just too big and too much for my card background.
I love that I was able to use the elements I did not love together and make something I am happy with. I hope you are inspired to do the same thing. Thanks you so much for watching and letting me share my cards with you.

Hey there stamping friends. Today on the YouTube channel you will find Episode 2 of my May Stamp Set of the Month series. This month I am featuring the Painted Peony stamp set by Concord & 9th. This is a beautiful layering stamp set, with stunning florals. I fell in love with this floral set and am excited to play with it and create different ideas with this set for you. If you missed the first episode you can view it here.
In this episode I am pairing layering background stamps with the Painted Peonies. I love background stamps and Concord & 9th have some of my faves! Turnabout stamps allow you to stamp one background in multiple colors and I will be using another background stamp that layers!
Take a look at today's cards. Both cards measure 5" x 5". I love a fun and different size for my cards!
The first background I used is the Polka Dot Turnabout Stamp set. I used 4 shades of yellow on this stamp to create the background. And even splattered it a bit with purple metallic watercolor.
And here you can see the peony with all it's layers in purple. For today's cards I used ink from Altenew. I love that their ink comes in collections of four that layer good together. Perfect for layered stamping like this. I have all the inks I used linked for you below.
The second background I used is the Gingham background stamp set. It has two pieces in it so you can layer the stitched criscross image over the top.
I love gingham and plaid, so this stamp is definitely one of my faves! Even thought peonies are not blue I thought this color of flower would look great with a yellow background. I love that with stamps you can make the impossible, beautiful.
I just love stamping the three stamps in this set and see the layers come together to create this beautiful flower.

Hello my stamping friend and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing cards from Episode 3 of my Tiny Friends stamp set of the month series. All month long I have been sharing ideas with this fun stamp set. Today the Tiny Friends are getting married and going to the fair!
You can watch the episode here and see these mini slimline shaker cards come together.
My first card finds the Tiny Friends at the chapel, getting married.
These Tiny Friends work great with all the village sets from Lawn Fawn. Here I used the Happy Village and Village Shops sets to great the scene. And in this shaker card is bird seed to bless this happy couple.
One of my favorite things about this card are the birds. If you want to see how I reversed the image to have a bird facing the opposite direction be sure the watch the video.
I also love the brides pink hair and the grooms tie, which I added in myself.
Now let's take a look at my second card a scene of tiny friends at the fair, using the Coaster Critters stamp set.
Do you see how perfect they fit in the booth and coaster cars perfectly! I thought it would be fun to have a red, white and blue color scheme for this card. Then I could use the American a mix for my shaker elements from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy Shop.
I had so much fun making little shaker cards with this cute tiny friends! Be sure to tune back in next Tuesday at 8pm MST for Episode 4, the final episode with this stamp set.

Welcome To Episode 2 of my April Stamp Set of the Month series!
This month I am featuring the Lawn Fawn Stamp Set, Tiny Friends. I had been wishing for this stamp set to go with my Build-a-House die set for a long time. So, I just had to pair it with this favorite house die set of mine!
This card was inspired by my daughter who wants to live in a cottage in the woods. Watch and see it all come together.
This months video series is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn. They have generously given me a $25 shopping spree to gift to one of you! All you need to do to enter is comment on each video in this month's series! New episodes come out each Tuesday in April at 8pm MST. This is Episode 2, if you missed Episode One, you can watch it right here. The winner will be announced over on my Community Page on YouTube on Monday May 3rd.
Now let's take a closer look at today's creation.
Isn't the Build-a-House the perfect size for these tiny friends!?! If you want to see more of the Build-a-House die set I have several videos using it you can see them in my Lawn Fawn playlist.
See how cute they are and the little cottage in the woods.
I used so many of my Lawn Fawn dies I have to help create this forest scene. I have them all linked for you below.
Also, to make this house have more of a cottage feel I used the new Spring add on for Build-a-House. I love the rounded windows with shutters in this die set as well as the planter box with tulips in it! the fence pieces are also from this die set and added a sweet little touch to the scene. You can see in the upper window, you an open the shutters and see the pet frog, as all people who live in a cottage in the woods have!
To add to my cottage I use the brick stencil and Vintage Photo Distress ink to add texture to the die cut house. And here you can see that me and my hubby in the not so distant future are going to visit our daughter who is with her cat, in her cottage in the woods. That is her dream! And a surprise for Mom and Dad, when we open the door we see our other daughter is also there to visit.
So, my daughter that wants to live in the woods also loves frogs and mushrooms, which is why I had to incorporate them into this card. So even thought it seems odd that that would be a frog in the upper window and giant mushrooms all around, it's all inspired by my daughter's dream of living in a cottage in the woods.

On the walls are things you might find hanging in my stamp studio. A picture of Toby, my Cockapoo. A giant monogram, which I do actually have, but it is wooden and not pink. Maybe I should just paint mine!

Hey there stamping friends, welcome to Episode Five of my March Stamp Set of the Month series! This is the last episode using the Avery Elle stamp set, Peek-a-Boo Flight. I have had so much fun creating scenes for these aircraft to fly in! I hope you have enjoyed it too!
Today my plane is flying over the farm. I have memories of sitting in my grandparents backyard, who lived in rural Idaho, watching crop dusting planes flying over the near by fields. And that is the inspiration behind today's card.
To fit all the fun into this card I had to go BIG! This card is size A9, that is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" when closed. You just take a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock and score it at 5-1/2" to create this size card. And that gave me enough room to do all the things I wanted to do in this scene.
The Frame Builder die set that I used to make my fence is such a cool die set. I got it from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy shop, who is now carrying stamps and dies from Honey Bee Stamps and Avery Elle. This is also the shop I like to purchase a lot of my embellishments from.
The "crop" images are from a Lawn Fawn stamp set called Happy Harvest. I stamped 5 of the stalks in Moss ink by Altenew. And it was the perfect image for the look I was going for.
All the critters I used are from the Peek-a-Boo Pets stamp set and are just adorable!
I love making cards where I am able to pull from my stash and combine different companies on one card. Do you do this? Or do you tend to stick to one product line at a time?
If you missed an episode from my March Stamp Set of the Month series you can find them all right here. Be sure to click over and comment on each video to be entered to win the Peek-a-Boo Flight stamp set. The winner will be announced on 4/5/21 on my community tab on my YouTube channel.

Hello my crafty friends. It is Tuesday and that means time for another Episode of my March Stamp Set of the Month series. This month I am featuring the Avery Elle stamp set, Peek-a-Boo Flight Stamp Set.
In this video I am bringing in one of my favorite Peek-a-Boo friends, the unicorn from the Peek-a-Boo Fair stamp set. This unicorn will be flying the airplane in a 3D scene card and the helicopter in a slimline shaker card.
Take a look at these cards being made in this video right here.
I really wanted to use this stamp set with some fun colors, showing that this set is good for any one and lots of different occasions.
Here I have gone with a Pink and Green color combo for this 3D Box card. I think this set is so much fun for 3D scenes. It gives the feel of the airplane really flying. And isn't that unicorn the cutest inside the airplane??? The unicorn is from the Peek-a-Boo Fair stamp set.
The die set I used to make this box card is the Slimline Wide Box die set from Trinity Stamps, you can find it and all the things I used linked below.
I really wanted to put a rainbow in this box card, but it just did not seem to go, so I made a second card.
You know I can not do a stamp set of the month series with out doing a shaker card! This rainbow shaker is filled with clouds and raindrops, which make a rainbow, right!!!
I love the helicopter on the card at a slight angle. It really gives it that feel of flying.
The rainbow inside this card is done with the Avery Elle die set, Rainbows. I had some left over pieces from a previous make. For that card I die cut the bows for my rainbow from panels that I had water colored. I love that I had left over pieces ready to go for this card
If you enjoyed today's card and want to see more of this set, here are the other three episodes in this series:
AND Episode 5 will be out on 3/29 at 8pm MST, stay tuned.

It is so fun to make a 3D scene with this die set, perfect to make these aircraft look like they are flying through the clouds.

Today is Episode One of my March Stamp Set of the Month series! Yay, the start of a new series always makes me so happy!
This month I am featuring the Peek-a-Boo Flight stamp set by Avery Elle. This stamp set has an airplane and a helicopter that you can put any of the Peek-a-Boo critters in to make some really fun scenes. They also are great stand alone images.
I am thrilled to let you know that Avery Elle is sponsor this months series. They had donated at Peek-a-Boo Flight for me to GIVEAWAY to one of you! AWESOME, right!?!
To enter the Giveaway you need to comment on all FIVE episodes in this month series. Episodes air on my YouTube channel ever Tuesday night at 8pm MST. The winner will be announced on 4/5/21 on my YouTube community page.
Now let's watch Episode One and see how I made these two Slimline Pull Tab cards. I hope you are buckled in, because I did encounter a bit of turbulence when making these cards.
I'd love to know which of these cards is your favorite!
The Slimline Pull Tab die set I used is from Heffy Doodle. It works great for either a horizontal or vertical pull tab card. Which is great because I wanted my airplane to go across the length of my card and my helicopter to go up and down the card.
When you pull the tab the air plane files over the city and the banner it is pulling unfolds.
The sentiment reads, "Let Your Dreams Take Flight".
The city scape is from another Avery Elle stamp set, Superheros. It is a great stamp set on it's own and you can use that city scape image on so many other things as well!
I used this same city scape stamp on the vertical pull tab card as well.
I chose him because he is facing the front of the Helicopter.
And when you pull the tab the helicopter rises up above the city.
The sentiment on this card reads, " The Sky is the Limit".
I left the inside of these cards blank so I can personalize the message when I am ready to send them out.
There are 4 more episodes coming your way with this stamp set. Tune in Tuesdays at 8pm MST for a new episode.

And then adding in the scene is a matter of planning out your scene and what you want on the different layers of the card. I used a few narrow strips of acetate to adhere images in this scene so that they apart to be floating.
It's much like putting a diorama together, but more fun!

In this episode I'm creating two interactive cards. It's a bit of a mash up of Sunny Studio products and Lawn Fawn products.
The first card is a Snow Globe Magic Iris card and the second is a Flippin Awesome card. I love giving interactive cards and seeing the WOW look on people's faces when they discover the fun element to their card.
Let's watch these cards being made.

I am giving away the Slimline Banners die set at the end of this series. All you have to do is comment on each of the four episodes this month to be entered. The winner will be announced on Episode One of my March Stamp Set of the Month series (3/2/21).
The first card is a Snow Globe Magic Iris card. I was inspired by a Lawn Fawn video where Mindy Egan made a unicorn snow globe. So, I made a mermaid snow globe, see that video HERE if you missed it. And now I want to make a snow globe for every cute thing! So why not a froggy snowglobe?!?
I love the colors on this card. I wanted that just about sunset look for this sky. I used three colors of ink from Concord & 9th to ink blend my background with the help of the Cloudy Stencil from Lawn Fawn. The colors I used are; Buttercup, Sorbet and Poppy.
I also splattered the background with some Metallic watercolors from Altenew.
Another part of this card that I love is the base of the snowglobe, I colored it with Copic Markers to have the look of wood. I show you how in the video above. As well has how I put this card, including the Magic Iris, together.
Now let's take a look at the Flippin Awesome Froggie card.
The Flippin Awesome die set makes me so happy! I use to make cards like this with a lot of cutting and scoring. This die set now does all that work for me! And making 4 little scenes to flip through on my cards is so fun.
Watch and I pull the tab and each picture changes slightly.
You can see this card in action and how to recreate it in today's video.

Hello and welcome back. It is time for Episode 1 of my February Stamp Set of the Month! This month I am using stamps and dies from a company I have never used before. I have always like their images and found one I could not live without. This company is Sunny Studio.
The stamp set I chose of theirs to spotlight this month is Feeling Froggy.
I will also be using several other stamps and dies from Sunny Studio as well. You can see my entire haul in this episode.
In today's episode I am creating scenes on Mini Slimline Cards (6" x 3").
So, let's jump right in and watch Episode 1 of my Feeling Froggy series.
Isn't this just the perfect little spot for a frog to live?
The scene for this card is set by the County Scene stamp and die set. The stamps are made to fit a card as wide as 5-1/2", making a great set to use on a Mini Slimline card. My card front is 2-1/2" x 5-1/2". The layer that it is one, the light blue card stock is 5-3/4" x 2-2/4", the bottom was die cut with one of the Slimline Basic Borders die set. The card itself is a 6" x 6" piece of card stock, scored at 3".
For my second card I wanted to create more of a park like scene.

Welcome back to my blog, thank you for stopping by. Today I am sharing Episode 4 of my Special Delivery Stamp Set of the Month series.
In this Episode I am diving in to Mini Slimline cards. I will talk about sizes, share some die sets for this fun size and make three cards all with the Special Delivery stamp set by Lawn Fawn.
Generally speaking a mini Slimline card is 6" x 6" scored at 3" resulting in a 6" x 3" card. However, much like it's big sister (the Slimline card), Mini Slimline cards can differ slightly in size. One that I am sharing today is 5-3/4" x 3-1/8", based on Mini Slimline dies from Kat Scrappiness.
Let's take a look at each card and below the card I will list the Mini Slimline dies used for that card.
This mini slimline card is an interactive card and uses the Waving Pull Tab die set, so when you pull the tab up the birds wings move. It is so fun to make this owl look like she is flying.
Look at that baby owl in the box! I love this Box add on stamp and die set that goes with Special Delivery. There are so many fun things you could put in that box!
I couldn't decide is the birdhouse on this card belongs to these owls, or is it the birdie post office or is it a birdhouse shaped mailbox? What do you think?
This shaker card is filled with clay shaker elements, called Love Notes from the Crafty Supplies by CC Etsy Shop. Aren't they just darling!!!
The Mini Slimline Dies I used on this Card are the Mini Slimline Die set by Trinity Stamps.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my new love of all things Mini Slimline and this fun stamp set, Special Delivery. Be sure to tune in next Tuesday night for Episode One of my February Stamp Set of the Month series. I will be creating with stamps from a company who's products I have never used before.

Good Morning and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing my creations for Episode 3 of my January Stamp Set of the Month series. In this episode I am making a Congrats card for a new mom with the Special Delivery stamp set by Lawn Fawn. And a matching gift card holder to go with the card.
You can watch the Episode right here.
If you can not see the video on this screen you can also view it right here.
Now let's take a closer look at today's card.
My idea was to have the birds holding a banner in their beaks. I love these chubby little birds thinking of new ideas for what they might be holding in their beaks is so much fun. I colored out my little birds with Copic Markers to look like canaries and just love them in bright yellow.
What makes me so happy about this card are the little clay bow embellishments I used on the banner. They are just darling and were the inspiration for the color palette on this card. These little bows are from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy shop.
For the stamped part of my sentiment I used "special delivery" from the stamp set with the same name that the birds are from. For the "on your" I used a sentiment stamp from the Happy Village stamp set.
The size of this card base is 8-3/4" x 7-1/4", scored at 3-5/8", which gave me a bit of a border around the scalloped panel from the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait die set. When die cut the scalloped panel is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". This card will still fit into the business sized envelopes I found at the Dollar Tree.
This gift card holder is easily made by folding a piece of card stock in half and die cutting the birdhouse so the bottom cut line is just beyond the fold. When you run this through the die cutting machine you will have a birdhouse that opens at the bottom. Add a bit of double stick tape to the sides, but only near the top, to secure the pocket. Now you can add a gift card and decorate the gift card holder that can also but used as a tag on a gift. I thought pack of diaper with a gift card and this darling card would make a great gift for a new mom.
