Hi Everyone,
Today we are sharing a simply lovely card design by Lisa Tilson at My Card Trip. She created this elegant design using a new stamp and die set by The Stamp Market called Summer Stems. The soft colors, subtle gray background, and the scalloped edge complete this vision of beauty.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Each year my granddaughter looks forward to the birthday card from her Grammy. I try every year to come up with something different. With it now her 8th birthday, I am finding I have to be more and more creative! This year I decided to make a pop-up card for her since it is pretty special.
I have created a video to get you all the ins and outs. Plus, I have also included below, a cutting and folding PDF template for the pop-up insert. I hope you enjoy the video and give it a try!
Hi Crafty Friends,
One of my favorite types of cards to make is a birthday card. Mostly because coming from a large family I am always in need of one and they are great to have on hand. This card design is a sweet, feminine one using the Pinkfresh Make A Wish stamp and die set and a wonderful fancy-shaped die from Papertrey Ink, making its debut. Papertrey Ink is a new line The Foiled Fox shop will be carrying.. so keep your eyes peeled for more in the coming week.
In case you don’t know about Papertrey Ink, they ALWAYS have fresh and fabulous stamps, dies and other creative and cool stuff. They also create for their new division, Ink To Paper, which is super awesome too! Check that out too!
Hi Everyone,
Here is another card design showing off the T-bird stamp, a cute little bear flying a plane with a birthday banner trailing behind to help you get acquainted with Purple Onion Designs. This card was created for a small four-year-old but really, it is sweet for any age.
You probably know that Stacey Yacula from Purple Onion Designs creates the most adorable little creatures and scenes. This is just one reason why we are so excited to have Purple Onion join our illustrious list of stamp and die creators. They are a perfect compliment to the other critters available in our shop.

Hi there,
Are you like me and always scrambling to come up with a masculine card for your favorite male human? I have two male birthdays and two Father’s Day cards for the month of June and it just about does me in. So… I had to find something that can be different every time, easy to make and use only a few supplies. The answer? Geometric shapes and embossing powders.

Hi there,
I am back one more time using the Concord & 9th Fine Line Florals stamp and die set. It is such a beautiful flower that I can’t seem to let it alone.
This time I am only using the big blossom and leaf, plus the matching dies and teaming them up with an alcohol ink background. In case you haven’t noticed, I am obsessed with the bright and bold look the alcohol inks give you.

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have always loved this Wispy Begonia stamp set by Altenew but never could seem to find the time to use it. But today was the day and I am so glad a finally had a chance to make it happen.
I wanted the colors to be vibrant and what better way than to paint them with alcohol inks!
Hi there,
I am featuring one of My Favorite Things fabulous stamps, Fresh-Cut Flowers. This stamp offers so much versatility. You can use it with any sentiment and nearly any recipient, making this stamp a real keeper!.
For this card design, I kept it simple with only the flowers, a background, and a border.
