Realistic 4-Step Stamping! Studio Monday with Nina-Marie

Hey there everyone, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today we’re making a beautiful floral card using Kitchen Sink Stamps’ Sweetheart Daisies set! This is a layering set that in just 4 easy steps allows you to create a realistic bouquet of flowers in the shape of a heart—how cool is that?

I also used our Simon exclusive Fancy Thanks die and All the Thanks sentiment strips to add a greeting to my card. The gorgeous patterned papers are from Paige Evans and look perfect behind my floral panel!

Mixed Media: My Heart Frame

Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari here with a Home decor piece using Memorybox dies with a Doodlebug Shadow Box frame. This is a simple project that packs a lot of punch!
I started out by die cutting the Memory Box Magnolia Leaf Branch dies using Dark Chocolate and Green Leaf cardstocks. I did a little ink blending on the leaves once the were glued in place.

Then I die cut the Memory Box Magnolia Blooming Bud dies with White, Dark Chocolate, and Green Leaf cardstocks. I added a hint of color to the white flower pieces before gluing them together. I die cut my message from white and silver carrdstocks, then used foam squares to lift it up over the leaves and branches.

To finish this off, I placed everything together and put it into a shadow box frame. To see how this all came together, check out my video below. Enjoy!
