I assembled my moose and die cut some hearts from Cream and Burnt Orange card stocks and added a sentiment die cut from the Heart Animals wafer die set.

Hello friends! WooHoo!! I'm at post/video #17 in my 2020 Christmas card series. My plan is to always do 25 (at least - maybe.....MAYBE I can squeeze in a few more - I have more ideas and stamps and dies than I have time for every year (and always buying more....🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️)) but we shall see how many I can post this year! If you missed any of this years I have links to all of them at the end of this post.
Recently Waffle Flower released several more of their patterned paper pads:
If you aren't familiar with Waffle Flowers patterned paper packs - they're 80lb weight and measure 8.5 x 5.5". So if you score the sheet in half you have a patterned A2 card base. I did a post when they first started releasing patterned paper here:
Waffle Flower sent me some of their new Christmas papers and the Happy Gnomes stamp set which coordinates with the Happy Gnomes paper pack. I couldn't resist making a bunch of cards and tags using them:
After they were all dry I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies and then die cut a bunch of the papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack to make all these cards and tags:
I splattered Picket Fence Distress paint on 2 different papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack and used those to create scenes for my cards. The mushroom papers from the pack I die cut with a circle wafer die to create a spotlight for the images and sentiments. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Waffle Flowers Essential Sentiments combo set with the coordinating wafer dies.
On the insides of all the cards I used the patterned papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack - all the little characters in the papers are the same size as the stamp set so you can use the coordinating wafer dies for the stamp set on the papers. I die cut a bunch of them and used them to create little scenes on the insides of all the cards.
To finish off all the cards and tags I used several different Nuvo Crystal Drops (specific colors are listed and linked below!) and let those dry and that was it!
To see how all these came together check out my video below:

Here's what I made:

Hey everyone! So amongst all the business and craziness of STAMPtember coupled with the USPS and Canada Post taking longer to get the October Card Kit to me I just got it this past week! To top it off - the kit is still available HERE <------click! AND there's a few of us doing a mini hop to share more inspiration using the kit!
I made a couple of cards using the Happy Fall Y'all set from the kit as well as the GORGEOUS patterned papers:
I stamped the images from the Happy Fall Y'all stamp set onto Neenah card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copic Markers. I added highlights with a white gel pen and cut out all the images.
I used some of the Cozy Days patterned papers that come in the October Kit as the background for both of my cards, then adhered all the stamped images into little scenes.
On the inside of the cards I added another circle of patterned paper and the remaining pumpkin and sentiment from the Happy Fall Y'all set and that was it!
To see my unboxing video and how I made these cards check it all out below:

Hello everyone! Waffle Flower's October release just went live and I'm part of a blog hop today to celebrate it! You can start at the beginning of the hop HERE on the Waffle Flower blog and I'll have links to all the stops lower down in my post as well as GIVEAWAY info!
I have the new Holiday Cheese stamp and die combo so I made a couple of Christmas cards with it for my 2020 Christmas Card series. If you missed the first video for this year you can find that post here:
I added the mug image to the inside of the cards and white heat embossed sentiments from the set onto red cardtsock. On the Grocery Bag Slimline envelopes I stamped the mouse with the "merry Xmas" sentiment just to give the envelope a little something and that was it!

Before I get to my cards using this set don't forget to check out the Limited Edition STAMPtember 2020 card kit that was released yesterday (and there's still some in stock!):
You can check out the kit HERE <-------click! while supplies last! This is a Limited Edition (bigger) kit that isn't part of the monthly subscription - and it's going to sell out quickly IMO!
ALSO - if you weren't aware - Tim will be doing a LIVE video on his Facebook page a little later today:
You can get to his Facebook page HERE <------click! and tune in at 1pm ET for his video! He'll be showing the set along with a bunch of inspiration made using it (I sent my cards in for this so they should be featured in there too!) from several talented designers. ALWAYS worth tuning in to Tim's videos - the amount of inspiration alone is fabulous.
OK on to my cards:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I made 4 slimline cards using Tim's STAMPtember 2020 set - the crazy cats and sentiments cracked me up so much I needed to use ALL of them.
I stamped the cats from the STAMPtember 2020 set onto Distress Watercolor paper with Ranger's Archival Jet Black ink. I watercolored all of them with Distress Inks (all the colors used are listed and linked in the supplies below) and the card with the cat tangled in the Christmas lights I coloured the lights in with Copic Markers.

I stamped the images from the Happy Pugmas set onto Neenah Classic Crest 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them all in with Copic Markers.
I used the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics wafer die set for all my die cutting on this card. I die cut the windows and blended several colors of Distress inks into them. I then added the derpy pugs into the openings and a sentiment from the Happy Pugmas set.

I created "mini slimline" cards - I thought this smaller size would be fun to feature a couple of the images from the Pocket Full of Happiness set on.
I did an ooolllldddd technique on the pockets of these critters. After stamping them with Simon's Intense Black ink onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White card stock I coloured in the pockets with Copic Markers. I then took my Colorless Blender Refill and put some onto a scrap of denim fabric, and pressed that onto the images - resulting in the pattern you see here! It's a fun and super easy technique to play with - and different types of fabric give totally different results.
Anywho, I then coloured in the rest of the images, and also coloured in the outline pocket word as well.

Hello friends! After a long day and tech problems (crashed my finicky laptop yet again - that's the 3rd or 4th time this month? 😬 Doing this many videos really puts a strain on it) I have a card and video using the latest STAMPtember collab!
First off - if you missed it this is actually my second post and video today:
I stamped the characters from the True Friends set onto Simon's 120lb smooth white card stock with Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copic makers. I then masked the images and blended on some Distress Speckled Egg ink with a blending brush.
I stamped the card base with the Wood Planks background using Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink. I also stamped the Surf Blue envelope with the characters from the True Friends set using Broken China Distress Oxide ink.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the characters with the same Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink and stamping another sentiment from the True Friends set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and that was it!

Hello hello everyone!! I didn't have a video yesterday (I'm working on another Halloween one tho so stay tuned 😉) as it was the release of Simon's October card kit:
I finished off the inside of the card by adding a couple more critters from the Skating Around set and white heat embossed sentiments that I added to the outside and inside and that was it!

Ahhhhh!!! Today's STAMPtember Limited Edition collab is with Mama Elephant!! I'm a collector of Mama Elephant and have been for YEARS. I absolutely adore the brand and own a ridiculous amount of it lol!
You can check out the Limited Edition stamp and die combo HERE and the stamp set alone HERE. EVERY STAMPtember the Mama Elephant collab sells out REALLY fast (and I know they keep upping the quantities they get in for it b/c it's always popular) so grab it while you can!
I made a fun slimline holiday card using the Winter Fox set:
This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card.
After I made my card base I applied GinaK Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel over the new Large Snowfall stencil. I set that aside to dry and then stamped one of the images from the Winter Fox stamp set onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb card stock using Simon's Intense Black ink. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and added some white gel pen highlights.
It's subtle but I added a bit of Tonic's Fresh Snowfall Glitter Accents just to the "ground" area around the fox and snowmen. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto grey card stock before adhering it to the card front.
On the inside of the card I added another white heat embossed sentiment and I stamped and coloured another of the images from the Winter Fox set. To complete everything I stencilled white pigment ink using the Large Snowfall stencil again over a Slate slimline envelope and that was it!

Hey everyone!! I have another card and video to share with y'all using elements from Simon's Picnic Parade (Aug 2020) card kit. If you missed my previous posts using the kit you can find them here:
I added the little Picnic Parade shape sprinkles from the kit to the watermelon to make it look like they were taking off with all the slices lol. I used more patterned paper to make the "picnic blanket" and then cut up and used the polka dot paper to cover the card base.
