I used the coordinating stencil set along with Simon's Pawsitively Saturated inks to color them in, and then added splatter of course. I cut the panel in half and got 2 card fronts from the one stamped image which was perfect.

With all the collab sets released this month they are one and done. Meaning when they sell out they are not restocked and are gone for good. There will be PLENTY of amazing sets released this month and I hope to have video inspiration for all of them so stay tuned.
Here's what I created with the Sparkling Season Stamp Set:
I created 8 mini slimline (3.25 x 6.25") cards with the set and a pack of Tonic Christmas Magic patterned paper.
I heat embossed the ornaments onto the patterned paper with black glitter embossing powder, and white heat embossed the sentiments onto some C9 Stardust cardstock.
On the insides of the cards I stamped a sentiment from the Sparkling Season set with black ink and stamped the snowflakes with Stardust ink and that was it!

Hey friends! So I wanted to use the new Halloween Distress Mica Stains but not as a spray - this time I decided to watercolor with them. If you missed my previous posts using them as sprays you can find those here:

I made a fun slimline card with some of the new goodies:
This is a 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Card.
I used the new Dibble Dot Embossing Folder on white card stock and ran it through twice to get the pattern across this slimline size. The pattern doesn't line up but you can't tell with all the splatter and ice cream elements 😉.
I die cut white card stock using the Ice Cream Scoop and Cone wafer die set and then ink blended on all the pieces with Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks (all the specific colors I used are listed and linked in the supplies at the end of this post). I used the same inks with water and a paintbrush to splatter some color over the embossed background too.
On the inside of the card I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the new Big and Bold stamp set with all the same inks I used for the ice cream. Once that was done this card was finished!

Hello friends! After a couple of crazy weeks dealing with one crazy thing after another I'm back with videos!
I missed being able to participate in the Support Ukraine Blog Hop that happened earlier this month but you all can check it out HERE for info and inspiration. The stamp set that Studio Katia released for it is donating 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the set to the Save the Children Organization in support of Ukrainian children. I also did a blog post HERE that has some info and a link to places for donating - but I am personally loving how so many of my fellow crafters and crafty companies have been stepping up to help and support and do whatever they can!
On the inside of the card I stamped the sunflower with Simon's Sunbeam ink and stamped another sentiment from the Sunshine of Hope set and that was it!

Hello friends! Today's video is a short and sweet one. I made a quick and simple mini slimline card using ONLY die cuts 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 little bit of time left to play along - or at the very least check out what everyone else made too as there's always a bunch of inspiration!
I added another die cut carrot to the inside of the card and paired it with one of Simon's Orange Peel Mini Slimline envelopes. I didn't use ANY sentiments on the outside or inside of the card. I was planning to and then decided to keep them off and let the card be open-ended depending on who I send it to or what for (and you can always add a sentiment before sending it off!).

Here's what I made for today:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" Slimline Cards.
Of course I HAD to use the new Mother's Day Tulips set for my cards. HELLO BIG FLORALS. Especially big tulips - I said in a recent video for y'all to expect to see me post a bunch of tulip-themed cards b/c it's that time of year and I just love tulips. I love the real ones and I love creating them on paper too. And this stamp is HUGE so it makes it extra fun to color in. There's a coordinating wafer die available as well for it (which I don't have but I'm prolly going to order it b/c I think I'll be using this set a lot...).
For the greenery I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Inks. Then for this first card I combined Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Abandoned Coral to get this pretty, peachy, orange color.
For this card I combined Saltwater Taffy, Picked Raspberry and Villainous Potion - LOVE.
On the insides of the cards I stamped the tulips with Simon's Fog ink, and added a sentiment from the Mother's Day Tulips set that I stamped with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink and that was it!

I wasn't originally planning on going black, white and gold with these (even though I have a playlist HERE on YouTube with more than a couple dozen videos using my all-time-fave color scheme lol) as this kit is fun and colourful but this is the direction I ended up in.
I used one of the Balloon Trio wafer dies and die cut one of the patterned papers in the kit along with some of Simon's Matte Gold card stock. I added bakers twine from my stash for the balloon strings and popped them up with foam tape. I used more patterned paper from the kit for the background - that paper and the daisy paper is what ended up inspiring this color combo.
On the insides of the cards I stamped a sentiment and the little confetti stamp from the Life Is A Party stamp set that comes in the kit and that was it!

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Gnome Lucky set and stamped the solid clover image with Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks, and stamped the envelope too while I was at it and that was it!

Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of posts so far this week! It's been a crazy week as usual lol!
Anywho - I'm part of a fun video hop with the Studio Light brand today. if you missed it I did a video HERE when I'd ordered a bunch of their Missees products and just fell in love with the line. And I will have more videos in the future as there are all sorts of new ones that have been released in the last several months!
SO - Studio Light reached out to me and several other designers and asked us to be a part of a video hop sharing projects with a Winter/Christmas theme. I'll link to their videos below but take note that this is a YOUTUBE hop so comments only on YouTube under those videos count for the giveaways!
ALSO - if you've missed any of my previous Christmas cards so far for this years series you can find them all at the links below:
I used a BUNCH of Distress Inks (all the colors used are listed in the supplies at the end of this post) to watercolor in all the ornaments and then once dry I cut them out. I added white die cut snowflakes to the panel (apologies I don't have a link for them! They're from Studio Light but I couldn't find them on the SSS site and the package doesn't have a name - they're pretty so those or any die cut snowflakes will work).
I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.

On the inside of the card (and on the envelopes) I stamped a cat image with Simon's Cobblestone ink. I stamped the heart-shaped "fur ball" with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink and then stamped the sentiment and that was it!
