Love You w/Kara

Hey guys! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I needed a card for my husband, Ryan. This card mixes a ton of amazing stamp sets!

I started by stamping the large 'love you' sentiment from Biggest Fan in the center of a white card panel. I positioned it slightly closer to the top because I knew I wanted to accent the bottom with a banner and other details. This way the entire design is centered.

I used the banner from Autumn Blessings. It has a cool tattoo like vibe that I think works really well with the 'love you' font. On it I stamped the 'there's no one else like you' sentiment from No One Else. Again, I think this font really works well with the design.

Using my Copic markers I colored flowers from Hello & Thanks to place behind the banner. On top of the banner I placed a butterfly from Butterfly Mandala. Since the butterfly was placed on the right I accented the left of the design with a few hearts from Biggest Fan to balance it all out.

I just love how these classic images, when used together with a few more modern styles, take on a much more updated look.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Mix and Match Stamp Sets w/Joni ft. Modern Anemones

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing another take for the Valentines Day card ideas. For this project I used the oldie but goodie Modern Anemones stamp and dies, then combined it using the sentiment from the Biggest Fan stamp set.

To begin, I distressed the white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans. I then splattered the panel with water and gold watercolor paint to create a little texture. Next, I die-cut the center using the decorative die from the Oh My Gostrich! Die. I stamped the card base that shows through the die cut window with the large "love you" sentiment from Biggest Fan.

For the florals, I stamped the anemones and leaves from Modern Anemones on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Modern Anemones Die to die cut all of the images.

I adhered the florals at the top and bottom of the card, framing the sentiment, with foam tape for a little more dimension. I also used a few Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels for added interest.

For my next, card I used the same products, but added the Milk and Cookies stamps and dies to the mix. These sets are not something that one might think to used together at first glance.

But, I think they look pretty awesome together! How about you?

I started by distressing white cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick. Again, I splattered the panel with water and watercolor gold paint.

For this card I stamped the large "love you" again from the Biggest Fan then stamped the "we're just better together" sentiment from Milk and Cookies over the middle of it. I adhered the florals from Modern Anemones behind the milk and cookie images. And like the last card, I again used the Pretty Pink Posh Ivory Jewels to finish the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed my take on mixing and matching your sets and gives you some ideas to incorporate into your own work. Make sure to shop your stash and experiment pairing different things together. It can really breathe new life into those older products. And, you may even find something that would look great with a new product that you've had your eye on!

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful week!

September 2017 Release Week: The Crew with Kelly

Hello Crafters! Have you been enjoying this week? The design team has been kicking out some amazing cards. They blow me away every release!

On Monday Joni introduced you to the new series we're releasing called The Crew. These girls are so incredibly charming and the accessories allow for endless scene creation. I have died and gone to heaven!

I couldn't resist making a scene with these sweethearts. Whether you're into one layer cards like me or are in love with popping up die cuts into a beautiful scene. The Crew gives you both options. I had such a good time creating this flower garden scene!

However, if complex scenes aren't your thing I didn't forget about you ;) Being a proud booknerd I thought it would be adorable to make my little girl a daydreamer surrounded by books and coffee. A distress ink background creates an interesting card no masking required!

You can see both cards come to life in the video below.

I love how soft those Distress Oxides dry! It makes it so easy to create a background no matter if you're doing a full scene or just having a bit of fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
