Happy Saturday Friends! We have had a wonderful few months, with so many slimline releases as well as our new layered floral release for Fall.  Our designers have been having so much fun creating with these new items, and we are beyond thrilled with the results.  Our designer, Allison, said “It’s going to be hard to go back to regular size cards when there is so much extra space to play with on these Slimlines”!   Today we have this […]

Hello crafty friends! We are excited to be sharing some new release goodness today.  Our new slimline die cuts have opened up so many possibilities for our design team, and we are thrilled to see what new ideas they come up with each and every day!  Today our designer is sharing this cute Anteater that she used with one of our new slimline dies. We agree that having all that extra card space to play with really is fun for […]

Oh my gosh – who could imagine that nothing more than small paper flowers and little greenery could create such a stunning card? Our designer, that’s who! She referred to this as a “paper flower wall” and we think that’s a great description. These clusters of these adorable tiny paper flowers against this white on white card is honestly breathtaking! She started by cutting her frame and the circle background from white card stock and adhered the frame to the […]

Good Morning to you all! Allison here and I have a lot of small die cut flowers in bright summer colours to make up today’s card. We just added a living wall to our yard which was the inspiration for my card today. I don’t know about you, but paper flowers are much easier to keep alive haha.  If you have noticed, I have been using a lot of these tiny flowers in my handmade card project recently, and the […]

Allison with you today to inspire you to make some funny cards for friends who craft. I must say, I absolutely love this sentiment!  I’m sure we all have that one friend that this sentiment and sassy girl is perfect for. This card was easy to make thanks to the flower die cutting 36 flowers at a time.  For the Card I started with stamping the “wrapped string background stamp” with Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder on […]

With summer right around the corner I thought it was a good time to make a summer themed card and this die that cuts all these tiny paper flowers was the inspiration. Let’s take a peek! I just love how all those tiny paper flowers behind the fence add so much texture and dimension with nothing more than a swipe through my die cutting machine and some adhesive! It’s almost like a shaker card without the shake! Here’s how I […]

Hey Friends! Allison here, sharing these new gorgeous layered floral clear stamps from Rubbernecker. I created three different cards using the one floral stamp set and added a few die cuts and some background stamping to change up the look. Using small changes like adding the baker’s twine, using some small die cuts and adding dimension here and there with foam adhesive gives you so many different looks with one amazing stamp set!  Take a peek: How to make the […]

Are you feeling like it’s time to put away those winter stamps and are looking for spring card making ideas? We’ve got one right here for you that is quick and easy and gives you a chance to do some relaxing coloring. Take a peek:   To create this card: I used the Deckle Hills Die to cut 3 separate sheets of white card stock. On one of the sheets I stamped twice with distress oxide ink in the colour […]

 Allison here with you today sharing a new butterfly greeting card design that I think you are going to love! Crafting has been a silver lining during this crazy time, dontcha think? During this spell,  I have to admit I may have developed a slight addiction to tiny flower die cuts! In the card I’m making today, I used the mini leaves to create a rainbow trail following this 3 dimensional butterfly coloured with the new Color Fuse Inks.   […]

Allison with you today with a sample of my super cute bunny cards! I have used this image from Rubbernecker Stamps so many times on many of the cards I have made. I can’t get enough of how sweet she is. She was definitely the perfect image to use during this time of self isolation and it looks like she has figured out the best way to do so……In a glorious garden. To make this card I started by die […]

With winter coming to an end and Spring being right around the corner it’s time for lots of spring inspired bicycle cards and this die cut with lots of mini florals was a perfect fit! Creating this card I die cut from white card stock the flowers, vines and bicycle. I cut an additional bicycle out of gold card stock. The bicycle and florals were coloured in Copic markers and glued to a die cut panel. I used the second […]

Happy Wednesday, Friends. Allison here sharing a tutorial on making beautiful and quick colourful cards using the new color fuse inks and some new layering flower clear stamps. These cards were so simple to make with very little time needed. Whenever I use layering stamps I always stamp off extras in all sorts of colours so I have them for future projects. I used my misti to stamp off all the layers of flowers using the new color fuse inks […]

It’s Allison with you this morning; I hope everyone is having a fabulous day and getting some time to get their craft on. I found some time today to escape into my craft room and whip up this bright and cheery blooming flower card. Colouring flowers and putting them together on a card always makes me happy! So, with that I pulled out this gorgeous daisy and in no time I was able to create this quick and easy layered […]
