You can check out all the new Pretty Pink Posh goodies HERE <-------click!

OK here's what I made:

I created several backgrounds using the new Layered Candy Corn, Layered Pumpkins and Layered Ghosts stencil sets. I have all the specific ink colors and card stocks used listed and linked in the supplies at the bottom of this post.

I created a shaker using the new Spider Web wafer dies, adding the Boo Script die cut and filling the shaker with a mix of Halloween Party Confetti and Spooky Night Confetti.

For this card I used the previously released Boo Shaker wafer die and filled it with the Spooky Night Confetti.

This card uses the new Cauldron Shaker Die with the Boo Script sentiment and filled with Halloween Party Confetti.

For my last card I didn't create a shaker, instead I stamped some of the ghosts from the new Ghost Friends stamp set onto vellum and embossed them with glow in the dark embossing powder:

And here are all the insides of the cards:

I used all the same stencils and then stamped a sentiment from the Ghost Friends stamp set and that was it!

Halloween Cup Shaped Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #6

Hey friends! I'm back with another fun Halloween card video - if you've missed any of the previous posts so far for this year's Halloween card series you can find them all at the links below:

Non-Halloween Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #5

Easy Textured Glow in the Dark Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #4

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

So today's cards were really fun to make and are shaped cards:

I used Trinity Stamps Trinitea Cup Card die set and Coffee Mug Card Die set along with Halloween Cup Dress Up die set. Aren't they cute? And best part is these cards fit in standard A2 size envelopes so win win.

After die cutting all the pieces I used Distress Inks and blending brushes (I listed and linked to all the specific colors I used in the supplies below) to add some color and dimension. Black Soot Distress Paint was also liberally splattered as is tradition.

I painted the "faces" and the "potion" on the cups with my Aqua Shimmer Pens in Clear Glitter Gloss and Midas Touch - you can see in the video just how SPARKLY they are!

I stamped the insides of the cards with sentiments from the Trinity Stamps Trick or Drink stamp set and paired the cards with Simon's Black Metallic envelopes and that was it!

Hey friends!

Recently Studio Katia released some new products - you can check out all things Studio Katia HERE <--------click! She sent me the new goodies and I have a card and video to share with y'all using some of it:

I clear heat embossed the new Botanical Hi stamp set after stamping it with Nocturne ink onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I then used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a paintbrush to color it all in:

I fussy cut the image and popped it up with foam tape, and the "hi" I added Aqua Shimmer Clear Glitter Gloss to and then covered it with Glossy Accents. The background is from Studio Katia's new Black on White patterned paper pack.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Botanical Hi with Simon's Cheeky ink and then stamped one of the sentiments from the set with Nocturne ink and that was it!

Hey friends!

I'm behind (as per usual) and I just finished uploading my video for last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

You can check out what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <-----click! and there's still a bit of time to play along if you'd like!

I was SO inspired by the card Amy Rohl made for this challenge <-----click! I just LOVED it. So I pulled out my Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Coneflower wafer dies and made my version. And I decided to include this with this year's Halloween Card series because why not? If you've missed any of those so far you can find them at the links below:

I added splatter with Black Soot Distress Paint, and painted the Thanks word with my Tonic Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer pen.

On the insides of the cards I stamped sentiments from the Inside: Thankful Sentiments stamp set with Simon's Pearfection and Mocha inks and that was it!

Hey friends!

Waffle Flower's August Release just went live:

You can check out all the new products HERE <------click!

I'm part of a blog hop today to share inspiration using the new release - I'll have links to the other stops on the hop further down in the post as well as giveaway info!

OK on to what I made:

I die cut white card stock with the new Fancy Frames wafer dies, and then ink blended some Pawsitively Saturated inks over Waffle Flower's Brick Wall Stencil. I added some splatter of course while I was at it.

The florals are from the new Chrysanthemums stamp set, and I clear heat embossed them after stamping them with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. To color them in I used more PS Inks and blending brushes - SO EASY. I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.

I die cut more white card stock with the Fancy Frames wafer dies, used the Brick Wall Stencil again and then stamped a sentiment from the Thank You stamp set and that was it!

Easy Ink Blended Seashell Cards with Wax Seals

Affiliate links used throughout this post at no cost to you! Affiliate linking is what enables me to provide content (more info on that in the sidebar of this blog ------> as well as at the end of this post). THANK YOU for all of your support!

Hello friends!

OK the other day I posted a Release & Review video for Honey Bee Stamps most recent release - it's here if you missed it:

Honey Bee Stamps Perfect Day Release & Review | June 22 Release

I made a couple of cards using some of these new products AND I had some fun with the wax melts and one of the wax seals:

I die cut the new Lovely Layers Seashore elements from some Hammermill white card stock, then blended some Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks onto all the pieces before layering them together (all the specific colors I use are listed and linked in the supplies below).

I also ran some white card stock through my die cut machine with the Waves Pierced A2 Cover Plate which added a bunch of texture. I then sprayed those panels with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Spray.

And then gold splatter of course 😉.

I combined colors of wax from both the Marvellous Moments Honeycomb Wax Melts and Vitamin Sea Honey Comb Wax Melts and melted them in my Wax Melting Spoon (see the video below as I show exactly how I did it). I then poured the wax onto a non-stick craft sheet and pressed in the Seashell Wax Stamper. I repeated the process for the second card, then attached them to the cards with Simon's Big Momma foam tape. For the gold effect I used a Spectrum Noir Liquid Gold Metallic Paint marker and just used the chiseled pen over the raised seashell of the wax seal.

I stamped sentiments from the Seashells stamp set with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink and die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies for the outside and inside of the cards. On the insides I stamped some of the shells from the same Seashells set and that was it!

Hey friends!! I have another Halloween card to share with you all!

If you've missed any of my previous Halloween cards so far you can find them all at the links below:

Floral Halloween Card? | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #3

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

And now for the latest card:

This one glows in the dark!!

I die cut Simon Says Stamp's Friendly Ghosts wafer dies from smooth white card stock then covered them with clear embossing ink and coated them with Glow in the Dark embossing powder. 

To create the background I ink blended Simon's Cantaloupe and Bubblegum Pawsitively Saturated inks over more smooth white card stock. I then ran the panel through my die cut machine with the Cute Ghosts Embossing Folder - and then added Black Soot Distress Paint splatter of course.

I ink blended the Bubblegum ink onto another piece of card stock and die cut that with the Here for the Boos wafer die.

I blended the 2 inks along the bottom of the inside of the card, and then stamped sentiments from the Spook Up Some Fun stamp set with the same colors. I paired the card with a black envelope and that was it!

Hello hello friends! I have another Halloween card and video to share with y'all - this time using mostly NON-Halloween-themed products. Before I get to the card tho if you've missed the first couple of Halloween posts from me thus far you can find them at the links below:

Halloween Ice Cream Card | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #2

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

OK on to today's card:

I die cut white card stock using Simon Says Stamp's Etched Layered Daisy Stem wafer die set and then ink blended Distress Inks on all the pieces. I used a combo of Simon's Small Blending Brushes and Waffle Flower's Shader Brush Size 0 and Shader Brush Size 1 with the inks and mannnnnnn it was basically a therapeutic experience lol. I have just been LOVING ink blending all my die cuts lately and love the extra dimension it gives.

I used Simon's Arches Background stamp on the Slate card stock - I stamped it with Nocturne ink and then sprayed the card stock with Black Soot Distress Spray before letting it dry. I then die cut it with a Basic Rectangle wafer die, and after adhering it and the florals I splattered the card with Black Soot Distress Paint.

I used my oldie-but-goodie favorite Flickering Butterflies wafer dies, die cut them from black card stock and then painted them with my Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen so they're all glittery.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Arches Background with the Twisted Citron Distress Ink. All the sentiments are from the Spooky Salutations Sentiment Strip pack (and were the ONLY Halloween-themed product I used on this card!). I ink blended the ones on the inside, and added the remaining Flickering Butterflies die cuts and that was it!

Shimmer Powder Spiderweb Cards | AmyR Halloween 2022 Series #1

OK on to today's card:

I used Simon Says Stamp's Ice Cream Scoop and Cone wafer dies, and ink blended all the pieces after die cutting them from white card stock. I used Pawsitively Saturated inks as well as Black Soot Distress Ink, adding detail with a Detail Flat Blending Brush and splatter with Ground Espresso Distress Paint. 

On the background I used my fave Halloween background stamp - Simon's Spider Web Background and stamped that with Flannel ink and added a bunch of Black Soot Distress Paint splatter.

I stamped the Spider Web Background on the inside of the card as well. All the sentiments are from the Spooky Salutations and Reverse Spooky Salutations sentiment strips pack. I ink blended the white card stock strips with the same inks I used for the ice creams and that was it!

Hey friends!

I haven't done a Release & Review in a long time. I missed a few releases and once that happens it is difficult to jump back into them. Add to that the supply chain and shipping issues with delays etc etc and it's just been difficult for a good long while now. 

That said I DO have a Release & Review to share with y'all. I don't have links to everything sadly (again supply issues) but I will update the links once everything becomes available! Honey Bee Stamps had a great release with baby-themed, wedding-themed, sea/ocean-themed and some fab plant and floral items and I wanted to share it all with you guys.
