Hi there,
It is always a sheer delight to feature a card design by Rosali of the I Love Stamping Blog. We feel so privileged to share one of her cuties! Today’s adorable design is an interactive one, meaning you can lower the toast into the toaster and pop it up – how fun is that! It is made using the new Lawn Fawn toaster stamp and die set, Let’s Toast.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and there are so many wonderful stamps and dies to help make the day even more festive. Today’s card design is using a new stencil by Altenew called Flowing Hearts. I combined the intertwining arabesque design with alcohol inks and got a colorful, dimensional and artsy look.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Woohoo! We are sooo excited to welcome Lisa Tilson of the My Card Trip blog. Lisa is a super talent in the world of card making and she is sharing two fabulous card designs using the Altenew Antique Engravings Cover die. To double the fun, Lisa has also prepared a video to show you just how she accomplishes such beauty!
After you check out the video, be sure to pop over to her blog and YouTube channel. She has oodles of inspiration and exquisite card designs.

Hi Everyone,
I started writing this post and found the explanation was getting too wordy, so… the next best thing I could think of was to create a video to explain all the ins and outs. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.
The two card designs were made using the Brilliant Blooms stamp and die set by My Favorite Things. I have used this set before (click here to check it out) and was impressed by the versatility and beauty of the simple blossoms so decided to give it another look.
In these cards, I created a background by stamping and embossing the flowers, cut out the center and add a gracious sentiment from the Paper Artsy Eclectica3 stamp set. The left-over cut-out center was then used to create the second card.
Take a look at the video of the two different card design styles and colors.

HI Crafty Friends,
I am happy to be back and eager to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and best wishes for 2019! The new year has officially begun, along with it are plans for new ideas, designs, and projects. To kick off the year, I am starting out with a card that works for any occasion. It is filled with beautiful pink blossoms from the Brilliant Blooms stamp and die set by My Favorite Things.
Hi Crafty Friends,
It is nice to be back after a few days of Christmas cheer. We sincerely hope your holidays were wonderful and you are still enjoying a few extra days of ‘r and r’ yourself! As a special treat, we are welcoming Heather Telford back again! Heather’s artistry and card design are always one of our favorites and today she is sharing a gorgeous winter white poinsettia. The stamp she is using is the beautiful “Christmas Red” by Penny Black.
Heather amazes us how she can create such beauty with just a few distress inks and/or stains. Read on for all the details on how she made this poinsettia come to life. Then, if you are enjoying this project as much as us, pop over to her blog for more inspiration.

Hi Crafty Friends,
The card design today does not have the usual color scheme for a Holiday card… but it is still one of my favorites. It might be that I love black and the contrast. In any event, I couldn’t resist making this color combination.
Besides the black, red and white, I love Pinkfresh’s Squirrel Friends stamp and die set. These squirrels are so cute! The other great thing is that I think you could use them year ’round. I am eager to see them in a forest meadow scene.
Hi there,
We are sooooo excited to show off our new Alexandra Renke dies. There are three fabulous stars, though we are only using two for this project, and adorable Christmas icons like a gingerbread man and candy cane. The card is simple to make but the beautiful dies and paper from Alexandra Renke create an elegant design when finished!
As an extra bonus, these dies make wonderful ‘bows’ for gifts. Check out the image below.
HI Crafty Friends,
The winter is upon us and what better way to celebrate than with snowflakes. These big, beautiful snowflakes are from the Concord & 9th Snow Flurry stamp and die set. With a little embossing and spritzing, it creates a wonderful wintery effect!
Hi there,
Today’s card design is a beautiful full blossom poinsettia bouquet. Not too long ago we featured a poinsettia (click here) using a My Favorite Things poinsettia die set. There are many poinsettia die sets that are worthy of mention and would work swimmingly, but for today’s poinsettia, the Blooming Poinsettia by Poppystamps was our choice.
