Bright and Easy Card for Dog-Lovers! Studio Monday with Nina-Marie
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today we’ll be making a colorful card with the adorable Newton’s Nook stamp and die set called Never Enough Dogs!
Behind the dogs is an ink blended background that I made with a Gina K. Designs stencil called Swirled Sun. I used our Simon exclusive Pawsitively Saturated Inks to create the rainbow of colors. I enhanced that background with a few Fairy Jewels, which add just the right amount of sparkle!
This card would be perfect to send to someone who loves dogs! Be sure to watch the video below to see how I made this darling card!

[5 tips] to Instantly Organize Your Crafty Space!
Hello everyone, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Each new year, I always find myself interested in refreshing and updating the organization within my craft room! What better time to get it going than National Craft Month?
I love storing my Pawsitively Saturated reinkers in tiered organizers, as it allows me to utilize vertical space. And being able to display the rainbow of colors is an added bonus for beauty in the craft room!
Our Simon Says Stamp Mesh Zipper Bags are useful for so many things! Some of the ways I organize with them is:
- unfinished projects
- new products I want to use
- Simon Says Stamp card kits
- coloring mediums that I am currently using
You can use our Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Everything Storage Boxes for literally everything! Hot foils store very well in them and it protects the foil from getting scratched when not in use.
You can label the sides of the boxes with content details! I have a set of boxes dedicated to Copic marker refills.
These boxes also work great for storing packs of ephemera!
The size of our Pawsitively Everything Storage Boxes is perfect for A2 products such as sentiment strips, card bases and panels, cardstock, and more!
Another useful tool is our Blending Brush Holder. You can store any size brush in the holder!
It also works great for everything else! Tools of all shapes and sizes can fit inside the flexible silicone lining of the holder. Talk about handy! The size of the holder is 2″ x 8.25″, which means it doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk.
Divided organizers are super helpful in keep products separated by type. I have two that I use for cardstock. One of them holds pre-made card bases; having then pre-cut and folded is so handy because it saves me time when I am crafting!
The other I use for all my pre-cut or specialty A2 cardstocks; things like our Simon Color Blend, Holographic Rainbows, and Rainbow Cardstock packs!
I hope these ideas and tips are helpful! Be sure to watch the video below to see these products in action!

[Try this]: Faux Wreath Window Card: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Caly Person with a gorgeous thank you card idea! Read on and watch the video for all the details!
Hello there! It’s Caly with you today and I’m sharing a card using the Swoopy Flowers stamp, die, and stencil set! Having coordinating stencils make coloring quick and easy. While I love Copic-coloring and watercoloring, the ability to add color with a blending brush really makes things easy!
My card today begins with the stamping and embossing of the Swoopy Flowers images. I emboss so that I can maintain the dark, crisp lines. Be sure to check out today’s video to see all the details!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I used the new Stamp and Stencil Mat to hold down my stamped images so I could position my stencils to ink-blend the colors.
For the background, I first die-cut a circular window using a Nested Circle die. Then, I embossed the panel using the Sparkling Facets Embossing Folder to add texture.
I finished today’s card by attaching the ink-blended images to create a semi-wreath and embossed sentiments from the Swoopy Flowers set.
I hope you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly
