Hi everyone, today I have another colour challenge project to show you featuring some gorgeous Lindy’s Stamp Gang products.

These are the colours of this month’s mood board: Somehow these colours made met think of a sympathy card, so that’s what we are creating today! Step 1: I started

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you this cute boy birthday card. I always find it harder to create cards for boys/men then for girls/women, but I also feel that by steering away from the flowers and bling section of my craft room it usually ends well! So, to get today’s card started I stamped the image from the Lili of the Valley stamp set called “Little Folk - Just Chilling“ onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth Surface paper using Versafine “Onyx Black“ ink and clear heat

Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop Blog with another card on which I used moulds created with The Crafter’s Workshop “Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste”. I couldn’t get this particular mould to work with air dry clay because of the very intricate design, and I was so happy that it worked very easily with the “Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste”! Of course you can also use these moulds on other mixed media projects besides cards! -------------------------------- The Craft

With a Copic MultiLiner (0.1)

Hi everyone, today I have a fun doodle card for you all. Did I draw these doodles myself? Nope, it’s a stamp!

For today's project I would like to show you how to create a set of cards using the so called “dry embossing with stencils” technique. When I think about stencils I usually also think about paints, inks or embossing paste, for today’s technique you don’t need any of these products! What you do need is a die cutting/embossing machine. And the best part about this technique is:
