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.

Hey there crafty friends. I have been having so much fun playing with the NEW Release from Trinity Stamps!
They have the cutest collection of food stamps, dies and stencils. I love food with faces and this release has the most darling waffle, I can't get enough of it. Did you see my video for the release day hop? If not you can catch that video right HERE. And if you catch that video before 2/6/25 you can enter to win a gift card to the Trinity Stamps shop!
Today's video is like the sequel to my hop video, I am using the same stamps and stencils but making two different cards and sharing some fun stenciling techniques.
Now let me show you a close up look at all of these Waffle-y Cute cards.
The background on this card is ONE layer, all done with stencil layering and masking. It was a blast to create and I share each step with you in the video above. The stencil from their latest release that I used is the Layered Waffle stencil set. I paired that with the Layered Heart Stencil set. Combining these two sets is how I made the heart shaped waffle in the center of the card. You'll have to watch the video to see how it all layers up to get this look.
The other part I love about this card is the little heart shaped waffle with a face!
This is from the A Waffle Lot stamp, die and stencil set. Which just released as part of the January 2025 release at Trinity Stamps. The coordinating stencil that comes with this stamp set is what really brings it to life! If you like the drizzle that I added to both waffles, I share two different ways to do this in the video.
For my second card I used the Layered Waffle stencil set in a different way but still to create the background for my card. And I brought in a new stamp set, the This Calls For a Toast set, so that my waffle could sit inside that toaster.
For the glaze on this waffle I used some tinted Glossy Accents, isn't that fun!
I had so much fun making these waffle cards and I still want to make more because there is a new shaker mix in the Trinity Stamps shop, Buttered Waffle, that I have yet to use and you know I have to do that! I love shaker cards, so watch for that card coming soon. And if you love shaker cards too, be sure to check out my Facebook group, Shaker Card Addicts.
Thank you for stopping by today and sharing a moment of your time with me! Below you will find links to all the things I used to make these cards.
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!
I am sharing 3 ways to use this die set, it's very versatile and can be used in so many ways besides on a 4 oz paper cup.
You can see these projects come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on your screen you can also watch it HERE.
Before we move on with the hop, let's take a close up look at each of the projects I made.
First up is the Mini Coffee Cup. These cups are 4 oz. and an inexpensive purchase on Amazon.
This die set has all the pieces shown to create these decorated mini cups. The die set also has dies to make a santa cup, penguin, snowflakes, ornaments and more. I decided to focus on the snowman, cause I love them! I want to have several of these on hand to give out during the holiday season. I think I would like to put hot cocoa bombs in these.
These dies are so versatile, so I used them to make a few other fun things for the holidays.
Next up is a Wine Bottle Tag or, it can also be a Door Knob hanger.
To make the face a little bigger I thought it would be fun to use Rhinestones in Gloss Black. I love the dimension it adds and gives more of a look of coal.
I also made this tag even more special by using glitter paper for the tag itself and the hat and buttons.
Lastly, is the full panel shaker with melty snowman.
This one might be my favorite. First of all I LOVE a shaker card. Second, the melty snowman makes me SMILE!
For this full panel shaker card I used the A2 Full Panel Layer Shaker Card Pockets. I love this set of pockets because it allows me to make a full panel shaker that mounts to an A2 sized card with a border all the way around the pocket. I love this look. But, Trinity also has FULL A2 sized pockets too, as well as Slimline, Slimline Layer, Mini Slimline Layer, and 3 sizes of circles!
I also has the PERFECT shaker bits to add to this card, called Summer Snowman. It is a mix of clay bits and sequins that are snowman parts and snowflakes. SO FUN!
My sentiment is from the Simply Sentimental You stamp and die set. I thought it was fun for a melting snowman to say Missing You.
I hope you are inspired to play with your Christmas products and get a jumpstart on things like gifts, tags and cards.
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.

There is one new product that I just had to play with first and that is the Clover Stencil. It is an add on to the Checkered Stencil from the January release. That means you can use the two together. But what I love so much is that you can use the Clover stencil on it's own too. So I used these stencils in both of my cards for the hop. Both cards are also shakers, I used the Stitched Shamrock die to make my shakers and am showing two different ways to do that too in my video.
I loved using the traditional green for St. Patrick's Day along with pink for these cards. And did you notice the sentiments on these cards? If you are familiar with Trinity Stamps you probably know about their line of Simply Sentimental sets. These sentiments are from the NEW Simply Sentimental Lucky stamp and die sets. You can see these cards come together in the video below. If for some reason you are not able to see the video up on your screen, you can check it out right here.
Here are few close up pictures of each card.
For this card I layered the clover stencil over the checkered stencil pattern. I love the layered look in shades of green.
This shaker sits on top of the background. I filled it with Clover Cluster Confetti, a great embellishment from this release! The sentiment is stamped and embossed with gold, a great way to tie in the feel of St. Patrick's day, add something gold!
I took this one up a notch on the background for sure. First I stenciled on the Checkered Background. Then in the open spaces I added the clovers with the new Clover Add-On Stencil. Lastly, I had to incorporate the hearts add-on stencil too, using a darker ink so they stood out over the checkers.
This shaker is inlaid, it's right in the card front. I also use the Clover Cluster Confetti plus some pink seed beads. This time I used the dies from the Simply Sentimental Lucky for the main part of the sentiment and stamped the sub sentiment right on the card front.
If you are curious about the inks I used to stencil my backgrounds onto colored card stock here they are.
Background One:
Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink
Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink
on light green card stock
Background Two:
Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink
Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink
Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink
on light pink cardstock

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!
Below you can see the entire new release of products!

Christmas is full of surprises, so why not make a card that surprises the recipient with a gift card. The Slimline Z-fold card is perfect for that.
See it come together in this video. If you can not see the video below on your screen, you can watch it HERE.
If you want to recreate this card I have the measurements for the Z-fold right here:
*Card Front Base: 8-1/4" x 3-1/4"
*Z-fold Card Front Panel: 8-1/2" x 3-1/4", scored at 4-1/8" and 8-1/4"
*Red Card Base: 8-1/2" x 7", scored at 3-1/2"
Here are some close up pictures of the card.
The gnome front and center is from the Deck the Farm stamp set, new for this holiday season at Trinity Stamps. If you like holiday gnomes they have a bunch and I used a few more of them in this card. And I have them pictured and linked for you below.
Now let's see this card unfolded.
Right behind the tractor driving gnome, tucked in the snow, is the hidden gift card. The little gnomie birds are from the Holiday Tweets set. I thought they were the perfect addition to this card. The gnome with the lantern is from the Let You Light Shine stamp set.
I hope you have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon with more crafty inspiration!

It's not TOO late! You can still get your Christmas cards handmade in time to get them sent out in time and I am here to help you with that. I have a little series for you on MASS producing your Christmas Cards. In the first edition I am focusing on Hot Foiling. Hot Foiling can seem to take a lot of time but when you have an image that becomes the central focus of your card, it makes the rest of the card fast and easy.
Here is the card I mass produced using the Ornamental Trio Cut and Foil plate set from Trinity Stamps and Polished Brass Hot Foil.
Another way I made these cards quickly is that I used an element I had already made, an ink smooshed background. You can see me make it in this video. I die cut this background to fill in the ornaments. You can do this too and even use gold paper, background paper, glitter paper, really whatever you have in your stash.
See these cards come together and gather some tips and tricks in this video. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can watch it RIGHT HERE.
Bringing out some DARLING dies from Trinity Stamps today to make some Christmas ornaments. If you have not die cut felt before it is amazing. I Love to make felt ornaments with dies. This year I got the idea to make those ornaments SCENTED!
I made two different hand stitched ornaments and they have two different scents.
See how they got their scent and came together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on your screen, you can also view it right HERE.
This mug of cheer has a coffee scent. And it is simple to do. Add drops of your choice of essential oils to a scrap of wool felt. Tuck this inside when you are stuffing the ornament!
Next let's look at the Happy Snowman ornament.
OH my WORD! I love this little guy. Actually he is not that little I made him using the Slimline Happy Snowman Die set. Top hat to snow bottom he is almost 7-1/2" long.
I love having another way to use my stand alone dies to make something fun for the Christmas tree! This one smells like Wintergreen. YUM!

A new release always makes for a good day! Today I get to celebrate and help kick off the Sparkle Season Holiday Release with Trinity Stamps. You may already know I am a huge fan of the Trinity Stamps line and am blessed to be a part of their design team. So to help kick off this new release I am sharing a fabulous new die, the Large Ornament Shaker Die.
As a HUGE fan of Shaker cards I knew I had to play with this die set right away. And I found that with just one pass of this die I could actually get enough pieces to make three cards, and so that is what I did!
You can see these three cards come together and the ink backgrounds I created for them in this video. If you can not see the video below you can also watch it HERE.
Here is your close up look at each of these cards.
This ornament is just over 3 inches and makes a great focal image for an A2 sized card (5-1/2" x 4-1/4").
This style of shaker card is called Inlaid. The shaker window is below the surface of the card front. The red ornament frame on this card the cut from the largest die in the Large Ornament Shaker die set. This set also has a topper for the ornament, a dainty little bow, as well as pine branches.
I filled this shaker with a clay embellishment mix, Deck the Halls. It has little trees, leaves of holly and red berries. To this mix I added a little bit of red beads that are super tiny. I have had these beads in my stash since before I can remember.
Did you notice my sentiment? It is from the new Simply Sentimental Holiday stamp and die set. If you are not familiar, Trinity Stamps has an entire line of Simply Sentimental sentiment stamp sets. Each set focuses on one word, like HOLIDAYS, in this case. There is a stamp and die of this word in several different fonts. And you can mix and match the different Simply Sentimental sets together. The Simply Sentimental Happy is a perfect match for the Holidays set!
The frame of this shaker was die cut from the background panel on the first card. It is a thin frame and Trinity Stamps now makes foam tape that is this exact width of this frame and they curve around the frame like a dream!
I filled up this shaker with some Glistening Snow Confetti pieces for a shiny contrast to the green.
The element of shine also shows up in the background of this card which I made using different green Distress Mica Sprays. I just sprayed and splattered my paper with 3 different greens, super easy and a so pretty!
For this last card I had a circle left from cutting out my ornament and used that along with the pine branches to create a wreath.
And here you can use the use of the Simply Sentimental Holiday and Simply Sentimental Happy together on this card, as well as the previous card. I love that the fonts are the same in each stamp.
And yes, this is another inky background, I love the red ink smooshed background with white splatter on top. You can see all these backgrounds being made in the video for these cards.
Below I have listed all the new products from the Sparkle Season Holiday Release.

I have been changing out my home decor to all things Fall with a little touch of Halloween too. I always like to make some of my own decor pieces. Today I am sharing two pieces that created for just that.
I made a piece to attach to an easel clipboard that I have had for years. I like to make new pieces to hang on it for different seasons.
The second piece is a small frame that I found at the thrift store and did a little DIY with. Inserted into the frame is a hand stamped watercolored image.
Watch it all come together in this video. If you can not see the video up on your screen you can watch it here.
I'd love to know, do you use your paper crafting supplies to make home decor?
Here is another look at the clipboard piece.
The background turned out so good on this project. I am loving the dark moodiness of the top background lined up with the clean background underneath.
Watercoloring in these images was very relaxing. This piece could easily be translated into a card as well.
I am totally giddy at how this frame turned out that use to be black. Painting this was so much fun! And the insert turned out better than I could have imagined with the ink smooshing in the background and the watercolored image over the top.
The stamps I used to make todays projects are from the Trinity Stamps shop. I am loving all the fun stuff they have for Fall and Halloween this year.
Here are all the supplies I used to make these projects.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by.

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 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!

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!
Hey there stamping friends. Today I am making 3 wedding cards using all new products and a few older ones from Trinity Stamps. I am loving the Happily Ever After release. They have several products perfect for wedding or anniversary cards. What I love so much about them is that you can add just one of them to your stash and create beautiful wedding cards at a low price point. Watch these cards come together and let me know which product you think is most versatile!
In the video below you can see me create each of these three cards. If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also watch it HERE, on my YouTube channel.
Below you can find close up pictures of each of the three cards I created in this video.
This card features the Happily Ever After stamp set. I love how great this image look in just black and white!
The background was embossed with images from the Summer Blooms stamp set, one of my favorite floral stamp sets!
You can not go wrong with a classic black and white card! But why not make it with some special elements. I die cut the Wedded Couple for this card from some black glitter card stock.
The fancy background on this card was done with the Foiling Floral Hot Foil plate and Prism Foil, GORGEOUS! The Mr. & Mrs. die set is a fun set that you could also use for teacher cards, adding the name of a teacher using just the Mr. or Mrs. and then last name of the teacher. Plus with the way this die set is made you can configure them how ever it best suits your card.
I couldn't resist making a shaker card using the Wedded Couple die.
I used the Script Wedding Day die set for my sentiment. The entire die set will spell out Best Wishes on your Wedding Day. And each word is separate. So, you can use Best Wishes all by its self.
Here are all the supplies I used to make today's cards.

Today I am sharing a few more of the products from this fun new release. I'll be making a shaker card using the Floral Mini Slimline Die. And a super cute stamp set; Tiny Fairy Silhouette's. But I am not stopping with a shaker card, I added another interactive element to this card, it also lights up!
To make this card light up, I used the One Light from Pear Blossom Press. It is the newest in their line of user friendly light products for paper crafting. The One Light has got to be the easiest light I have ever used to make a card!
You can see this card come together in this video. If you can not see the video up on your screen, you can also view it right here.
So, what do you think of the One Light??? Pretty easy! And there are so many different ways you can used this fun little light. I think it would be lots of fun to add to a scrapbook page too.
Here's another look at the card.
Let's chat about the shaker on this card. I knew the background could not be too busy and with this intricate floral die cut as my background and then filled with shaker bits, it had the potential to be very busy looking. Here's how I kept the background from distracting from the focal images on this card. I die cut the Floral Mini Slimline cover die from gold mirror card stock. After adding a window sheet to the back of that and foam tape around the edges I used Diamond Dust to fill. Diamond Dust is clear, cut glass pieces. It's gorgeous. And being that it is clear, it will not only look like fairy dust, but not be too much of a distraction in the background. I could have backed my shaker with white card stock and the pattern in the floral panel would have really stuck out. Instead I chose brushed gold card stock. This is very similar in color to the gold mirror card stock I used on the front of the card, but still with a bit of contrast. This made for a very cool shaker that was not to overwhelming for the fairies on the front.
For my Tiny Fairy Silhouettes I stamped and embossed each using specialty embossing powders from WOW.
These solid images are perfect for using your unique embossing powders with. I used the Party Popper collection of powders. Each powder has larger flecks of white and gold embossing powder suspended in the color powder. When this melts you have an awesome speckled image.
The One Light fit perfectly behind this 1-3/4" circle. I love that I was able to add a light up element to my shaker card because this light has so few parts and is small. I used a paper piercer to poke holes in the center of the sparkles. This creates a concentrated spot fo the light to shine through.

Super excited today to share my favorite stamps sets from the Enchanted Wood release with you today. It's the Oh Happy Day and Thinking Tree stamp sets that I am talking about. Both of these stamp sets have some large and very woodland images great for scene building. But when I first saw them and the unique dies that cut them out I immediately knew I wanted to make window cards with them.
Both of these cards use window sheets so when you open them up you get a little surprise of elements that appear suspended or just the fun of being able to see a bit of what is going on on the inside of the card on the outside.
Watch them come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on your screen, you an also watch it over on my YouTube channel, right HERE.
The first card with the Oh Happy Day stamp set is an A2 sized card and the window sheet panel is a trim-fold.
The frog appears to be sitting on the stump, but when you open up the card you can see that he is on a different layer of window sheet.
Then the layer with the stump opens up as well to reveal the background of the card.
And you can see there are a few fun elements on this panel as well. I love that little snail peaking out from behind the flower!
For my second card I made an A7 sized card ( 5" x 7").
The focal image in this stamp set is much bigger and even works on a slimline sized card. Watch my video to learn how you can customize this image to work on different sized cards.
This window card only has one window panel, a simpler look that is easily regrettable with images you might already own.
On the inside you get a full look at the gnome and that darling earth worm.
I just love the images in these stamp sets, they were a delight to color up and the turn into cards.
Below you will find all the supplies I used to make todays card.
Thank you for spending some time with me today! I will be back with more ideas and videos with the Enchanted Woods release for you soon!

Today I am sharing one of the new Slimline dies from the latest Trinity Stamps release in a 5 minute card making video.
The die is a beautiful Floral Swag. It's dainty and so pretty. I added over the top of a gel press print in white.
Watch the video below to see it come together.
If you can not see the video up on your screen, you can also catch it over on my YouTube channel right HERE.
When you have such a beautiful die like this it is easy to make a card. This die steals the scene! All I needed was a sentiment and of course some gems to finish it off. You can find all of the gems I used at the Trinity Stamps shop, under embellishments.
Below I have the video where I share and review the entire Enchanted Wood release, incase you missed it.
Below I have linked all the new products for you to check out.
Thank you so much for stopping by, tomorrow I will be sharing two cards made with window sheets and my FAVORITE stamp set from this release!!!
