    Flower card with Air dry clay Mould

    Hi everyone, today I'm on the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog and I would like to show you this fun Spring themed flower card using a gorgeous combination of Lindy’s Stamp Gang colours. Step 1: I started with some Canson “XL Watercolor“ paper (mainly because it’s the same crème colour as the moulds that I will show you later on, you can use any watercolour paper you like though). Before stamping use your anti static powder tool. On the watercolour paper I stamped several of the flowe

    Dahlia Die Cut Birthday Card

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you my latest project as a guest designer for Crealies (Crealies is a Dutch die and stamp company that also ships internationally). For today’s project I choose to make a birthday card where I die cut several pieces from one stamped image to create a fun design. Let’s get started: Step 1: I started my project by stamping the Dahlia image (CLRS03)onto Copic friendly paper using Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink. Then I used one of the smaller d

    Crealies Guest Design Post: Fun Flowers and a Butterfly

    Hi everyone! I‘m very excited to be sharing a new project with you today as a guest designer for Crealies! Crealies is a Dutch craft company that makes awesome dies, stamps and masks/stencils (and some of the dies, stamps and stencils even coordinate, which is super fun)! Annelies also ships internationally! Today I created two completely different cards, but both are colourful and happy to celebrate spring and both cards are almost completely created with only Crealies stamp

    You are Fin-Tastic !

    Hi guys! Today I have a fun gender neutral card for you all. It’s fairly quick to make also. I started by stamping the fish from the “Snorkel Fun Fishy” stamp set from Your Next Stamp on Copic friendly paper with Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink. Next I coloured the image with the following Copic markers: - for my oranges I used: E11 / YR14 and YR18; - for my greens I used: G40 and YG06; - for my purples I used: V12 and V17; - and for my blues I used: B0000 and B21. After drying I

    Leafs and Stripes

    Today I have a set of fun cards for you without any colouring work: these are top folding cards for which I almost exclusively used dies. To start my first card I taped 2 rows of Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape (each 6,5 centimetre wide) to regular typing paper and started putting on strips of coloured paper in five different colours. After I finished the entire piece I die cut the Winnie & Walter “The Leaf Effect” cutaway out of the handmade striped patterned paper
