Bee Yourself Slimline Card | Karin Brushmarker Pros

Hello everyone!! I am zipping through all the footage and getting the voiceovers done finally! And of course MORE slimline cards - the obsession (and fun) is real:

This was my first portrait slimline card - all the other ones I've made so far have been landscape orientation. The only big different being they're a little harder (for me anyway) to photograph. Still super fun to make though.

I pulled out an older set again for this one: Simon Says Stamp's Bee Yourself stamp set. I had bought the coordinating wafer dies for it MONTHS ago and it's just been sitting and waiting to be used again.

I stamped the bees and hearts from the Bee Yourself set onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with Simon's Clear embossing powder. I used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush to color them in and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.

For the background I stamped the "honeycomb" images from the set onto more Bristol Smooth card stock and heat embossed them with Wendy Vecchi's Sunflower embossing powder. I used the Canary yellow Karin marker and a big paintbrush to color over them, added some splatter, and added white splatter (it's subtle but it's there).

I recently got the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics wafer die set so I used the stitched wafer die on the background, and then used the scalloped wafer die on some of Simon's Sea Glass card stock.

On the inside of the card I stamped the honeycomb with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink, and the hearts with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink. I added the last bee images I'd coloured plus another white heat embossed sentiment from the Bee Yourself set. I made a coordinating envelope from some Doodlebug patterned paper in my stash and the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder wafer die set and that was it!

Slimline Card | Picture Book Panda Thank You Card

Hey everyone!! After my last post about the new SSS release (HERE), I was able to get the voiceover for this video done early this morning. There's been a lot of construction going on around here plus wind (plus 5 kids lol) so it's been a struggle finding times and ways to do voiceovers lol!

Anywho - this card is for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:

You can check out the current challenge HERE <-------click! to see what the rest of the team created with this combo and play along if you'd like!

Here's what I created:

This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card.

I pulled out the CZ Design All the Thanks stamp set and coordinating die set (it's also a combo here). I white heat embossed a bunch of the sentiments onto Audrey Blue card stock and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies. Some of the smaller sentiments in the set were white heat embossed onto black card stock then die cut with the Nested Banners wafer die set.

I pulled out Simon Says Stamp's Picture Book Panda wafer die, and die cut him from Black Velvet and White Latte Flock transfer sheets. Remember those containers of flocking powder we used to use waaaaayyy back in the day? The ones that I still have in a drawer in my studio "just in case" lol? These flock transfer sheets are SO much easier to use. I've done a couple of videos using them in the past and when it comes to this panda it's just MEANT TO BE FLOCKED lol! He's all fuzzy! So I used those and then for the eyes I used a white gel pen and on the nose I used a black glaze pen for that little bit of shine.

On the outside and inside of the card I used MFT's Black & White Stripes patterned paper - I show in the video how I pieced it together to make it work on a larger card like this. I finished off the inside of the card with a couple more sentiments from the All the Thanks set. I made a coordinating envelope with the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder wafer die set and some Doodlebug patterned paper from my stash and that was it!

Feeling Cooped Up? | Honey Bee Stamps | Karin Brushmarker Pro

Hello everyone! I pulled out some oldie-but-goodie Honey Bee Stamps and dies to make this card:

This is a 5.5" square card.

I thought this was a rather fitting card for the current times - as it DEFINITELY is how we've been feeling around here!

I pulled out Honey Bee's Spring Chicks stamp set and the coordinating wafer dies. I stamped the chickens onto Strathmore Ready Cut watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink then coloured them in with Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush.

I used Honey Bee's Chicken Coop wafer dies and die cut the main part and the "inside" from woodgrain card stock, then used Distress Oxide inks (colors used are listed in the supplies) to sponge on the colors I wanted. I used Honey Bee's largest Deckle Edge Square wafer die to die cut the background and also sponged and splattered some Distress Oxide ink on it.

For the sentiments on the outside and inside of the card I used the Eggcelent Sentiments stamp set and the coordinating wafer dies. I white heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it for the outside and stamped the second sentiment (and one of the chicks from the Spring Chicks set) on the inside of the card and that was it!

SSS Pawsome Cards | AmyR Valentine 2020 Card Series #5

Hey everyone! Happy New Year (a little early!). If you missed my earlier video from today you can find that here:

My Favorite Things December 2019 Release & Review!

And stay tuned as I have a fun giveaway coming later on tonight!

For now - here's 2 more cards for my 2020 Valentine Series:

I used Simon's new Pawsome Love stamp set and wafer die combo for these cards. The images in this set are SO cute and I love how you can use them and some of the sentiments for "non-specific" Valentine cards.

After my previous Valentine post here I had the idea still in my head to do something similar - only this time I used patterned paper. I chose one of the striped papers from Lawn Fawn's Really Rainbow 6x6 pack, and die cut it with the largest Basic Rectangles wafer die and one of the Nested Hearts wafer dies.

I finished off the insides of the cards by stamping the characters from the Pawsome Love set with Broken China Distress Oxide ink. I added some more of the patterned paper and the "Luv You" sentiment from the set and that was it!

SSS Big Picture Book Animal Cards | AmyR Valentine 2020 Card Series #2

I hope y'all are having a great weekend so far!

Since Simon Says Stamp is having this awesome DieCember wafer die sale - you can shop their entire selection HERE <-----click! - I thought I'd make a couple more cards using mostly SSS wafer dies. Specifically their Big Picture Book dies which are some of my favourites:

I made 2 Valentine-themed cards using the Big Picture Book Monkey, Big Picture Book Raccoon and then completed them with the Big Picture Book Little Body, Tails, and Crouching Paws wafer dies.

I used Simon's Leafy Frame wafer die on both cards - I just used 2 different shades of green card stock and 2 different shades of Distress Inks to blend onto them.

On each card I used sentiments from Technique Tuesday sets that were themed to each animal that I white heat embossed onto hearts die cut from the Nested Hearts wafer dies and then black card stock for the rest.

CZ Design Love You Like Spotify Cards | AmyR 2019 Christmas Series #18

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I had to hold off on posting these as I didn't want to chance the recipients seeing them ahead of time lol!

One of the gifts Chris got all of us this year (well all of us old enough for cell phones etc) was a Spotify Premium family membership. I've been too cheap to bother paying for it but the ads on the free version are SO annoying. So I'm pretty stoked over this gift lols!

Anywho - I wanted to make a couple cards as a physical way to "give" this so I pulled out the CZ Design Love You Like stamp set as it has literally THE perfect sentiment for this gift. I also pulled out the Love You wafer die set (another oldie-but-goodie favorite of mine) and Simon's Picture Book Deer wafer die set.

Simon's Lea Snowflake and Grace Snowflake wafer dies were also used - I die cut everything from a bunch of various card stock, as well as some Gold Pearl Satin card and some Pebbles Merry Little Christmas patterned paper.

I finished off the insides of the cards with more bits of patterned paper, and another gold heat embossed sentiment from the Love You Like stamp set and one more die cut snowflake and that was it!

MFT Festive Friends Cards & Tags | AmyR 2019 Christmas Series #6

Hello everyone!! I'm back with another Christmas card (multiple cards plus tags!) for my series! If you've missed any that I've posted so far you can find 'em all at the links below:

I used My Favorite Things Festive Friends stamp set and stamped all the images onto Copic friendly card stock (Linked below) and coloured them in with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Die-namics set to die cut all the images and then set to building all the little scenes for the cards and tags.

MFT's Simple Snowflakes Background was clear heat embossed onto the card bases and tag bases, then Hero Arts Reactive inks in Blue Raspberry and Pool Party were blended over them using Studio Katia Blender Brushes.

I used MFT's Treat Tag Die-namics for the tag bases (I did a post HERE with those tags making them into Valentines treats), and then used the Snowy Hillside Die-namics to create my scenes.

I finished off the insides of the cards with simple little scenes and more sentiments from the Festive Friends stamp set and that was it!

Studio Katia Paws for Kindness Card | Copics

Hello everyone!! I'm part of a great blog hop today to share inspiration for the NEW Studio Katia bundle release called Paws for Kindness. There's a stamp & die set, as well as 2 new stencils: Mini Paws and Love for Paws.

If you didn't get here from Kaja's blog you can start at the beginning of the hop HERE and I will also have links to all the stops below as well as GIVEAWAY info at the end of this post!

You can check out the Paws for Kindness bundle HERE <----click! and $10 from each bundle will be donated to Pets in the Classroom, because we truly believe that all children should have the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities, respect for life and being kind to one another.

Here's what I made with this bundle:

I stamped the little boy and his pets from the Paws for Kindness set onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Inkon3's Blackout ink and coloured in the images with Copic markers. I used a Gel Roll broad white gel pen to add some dots and highlights to the images and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.

There are 2 stencils that come in the bundle. I used the Love for Paws stencil and ran it through my Platinum 6 machine with the embossing setup to dry emboss the stencil onto the heart shaped card stock - it's such a subtle look and I love using stencils like this to get that effect!

The other stencil - Mini Paws - was used on the card front and I blended some grey ink over it with a Studio Katia blender brush.

I finished off the inside of the card with another heart that I stamped the boy and his pets on and then added some more sentiments from the Paws for Kindness stamp set and that was it!

Caffeinated Unicorn Card | Copic Marker Coloring

Hey everyone! I hope y'all had a great weekend!

I wanted to play along with the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop <-----click! anyone can play along and all the info is in their post!

I pulled out one of the caffeinated critters from The Rabbit Hole Designs - I'd bought several of them some time ago as they crack me up and now was the perfect time to ink one up!

I used TRHD's Caffeinated Unicorn and stamped it onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Inkon3's Blackout ink and coloured it in with a bunch of Copic Markers:

It is SO hard to photograph all the sparkle - you can see it in the video though!! I coated the Unicorn mane/tail with Nuvo's Clear Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer. I used a Jane Davenport Silver Screen pen on the coffee cup and "slippers" horns (lol I think they're narwhals? Love it). I used the coordinating wafer die to cut out the unicorn and popped it onto the card with foam dots.

I used Tim Holtz Swirling Stars mini stencil on the card base with Nuvo's Moonstone Glimmer paste.

To finish off the inside of the card I stamped the Unicorn with Hero Arts Reactive Taffy ink and added the other sentiment from the Caffeinated Unicorn set and that was it!

4 Cards 1 Kit | Simon Says Stamp Nov 2019 Card Kit

Hello everyone!!

So I posted an Unboxing Video of the Simon Says Stamp November card kit:

Simon Says Stamp November 2019 Card Kit Unboxing! | Woodland Whimsy Card Kit

And I made 4 cards with it to share with y'all today!

I used the Woodland Whimsy stamp set that comes in the kit and stamped the images onto Bee Watercolor paper with Fallen Leaves Versafine Clair ink. I then used the watercolor pan set that comes in the kit to color them all in.

I also used that pan set on my previous card and video - you can check that out here:

SSS Fall Frenchies Halloween Card | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #13

I used Simon's Stitched Rectangle wafer dies to die cut the watercolor paper as well as to die cut the patterned paper that comes in the kit. I also added some cute little hearts from my stash just to finish everything off.

On the insides of the cards I stamped the sentiment from the Woodland Whimsy set with the Fallen Leaves ink then stamped the little leafy sprigs with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

SSS Fall Frenchies Halloween Card | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #13

Happy weekend everyone! I just finished uploading my video with my card for this week's Color Throwdown challenge:

You can check out what the rest of the Design Team made using these colors HERE <-------click! and there's still time to play along if you'd like!

Here's what I made:

I stamped images from Simon Says Stamp's Fall Frenchies stamp set onto Bee Watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink. I then used the watercolor pan set that came in the November Card Kit to color in all the images before die cutting them with the coordinating wafer dies.

I used Simon's Bare Tree Oval Collage wafer die for my background, and the CZ Design Boo Word + Shadow wafer die too. For embellishments I used some Nuvo drops in various finishes (all linked in the supplies below).

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the frenchie image with Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink and then stamping another sentiment from the Fall Franchies set with the Fallen Leaves ink and that was it!

Hello everyone!! Thanks to catching the worst cold last week (we all came down with some form of it - uggghhhh) I'm playing catch-up now LOL!

Last week's Color Throwdown challenge was this:

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

I went Halloween with my cards:

I used My Favorite Things Spooktacular Stamp set with the coordinating wafer dies as my main images. And I didn't color them. Crazy right? Hear me out: I wanted to keep the images simple, plus focus on the backgrounds I made. Plus lets be honest: I was in the beginning stages of the chest cold and my nose was running so much that it was horrible trying to do anything (like a bunch of colouring) with my head tilted downwards b/c well.....it's just gross LOL!!

Really though - I sometimes like not colouring in line images - ones like these have so much great detail to them already that they can get away with it. IMO anyway.

I used Distress Oxide inks to create the blended backgrounds, splattered with Black Soot Distress Paint of course. I pulled out some older wafer die sets: Cause for Celebration, Skinny Strips and Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips. I also pulled out my MUCH loved (with backups on hand!) Black & White Stripes patterned paper too.

I finished off the insides of the cards with more patterned paper strips and sentiments from the Spooktacular Friends set, and then stamped the same images and pumpkins and that was it!

Masking & Distress Oxide Blending | STAMPtember Mama Elephant Snow Kittens

ACK Ohmygoodness - I had planned to have this video go up as soon as the Mama Elephant STAMPtember collab went live but life had other plans. As of posting this there are still some of the stamp sets left (the stamp and wafer die set sold out already!) but I also linked to a similar set by Mama Elephant (see below) as it's adorable too!!

If you haven't seen Mama Elephants September release you can check it out HERE <------click! I couldn't resist ordering some of it (yes I wanted it ALL LOL) and can't wait for it to get here!

Also if you haven't bookmarked my post where I've been updating the new and still available STAMPtember collabs you can check that out here:

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!

OK on to my card:

I used the STAMPtember Snow Kittens set and 😍😍😍. Once this one is sold out (and I will be shocked if it doesn't sell out before tonight - it's been INSANELY popular and I can see why) I highly HIGHLY recommend checking out the Mama Elephant Snow Friends set. It's adorable too!

I stamped the images onto Neenah Classic Crest 110lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink. I then masked off all the images and the snow with Eclipse masking tape and blended on 3 different colors of Distress Oxide Ink. I added splatter (of course) and some Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes and Icy Sparkle Crystals.

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the stack of snow kittens with the same three oxide inks and added a sentiment and that was it!

Hey Pumpkin | Copic Coloring | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #2

Hey Pumpkin!! LOL! I'm back with video #2 for my 2019 Halloween card series! If you missed the first one you can find it here:

Happy HOLLAween with Distress Oxide Sprays | AmyR Halloween 2019 Video #1

Today's card features a couple of WAY oldie-but-goodie sets from Simon Says Stamp that I've had for 5+ years and done multiple Halloween videos with: Hey Pumpkin and Trick or Treat.

I stamped the cat images from both sets onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copics. After adding white highlights with my favorite white gel pen I fussy cut out both images.

I used stamps from the Trick or Treat and Hey Pumpkin sets to finish off my scene and add the sentiment. On the card base I stamped the Spider Web Background with black ink, and added some Studio Katia August Crystals.

On the inside of the card I used stamps from the Trick or Treat set (and I guess there are no longer coordinating dies available for this set sorry! I thought there were still available too but I think they were discontinued as it's a pretty old set!) and stamped/adhered them and that was it!

Birds on a Wire Distress Oxide Watercolor | SSS Sept Card Kit

Happy Friday!!

I posted an unboxing of the Simon Says Stamp September 2019 Card Kit here:

Simon Says Stamp September 2019 Card Kit Unboxing! | Look for the Rainbows Card Kit

And I made a card using all the floral images from the set in the kit here:

Copic Coloring on Floral Images | SSS Look For the Rainbow Stamp Set

I wanted to create a card using the birds in the set too. This is what I came up with:

I was really inspired by the patterned paper from the kit - this pattern specifically. I took some Distress Water-colour card stock and drew lines on it with a T-square ruler and a Pilot Envelope Addressing pen, and stamped the birds with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.

I used a bunch of Distress Oxide inks to paint the background and the birds. I chose colors that went well with the patterned paper and painted the birds in the order the colors appear in the paper.

I used sentiments from the Look for the Rainbow stamp set and white heat embossed them onto black card stock. On the inside of the card I added the sentiment and stamped a couple of the birds with the Distress Oxide inks and that was it!

Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home and provide for my children! I appreciate your support more than words can say! I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
