Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Nichol Spohr in our monthly card making blog series called Making the Cut where we focus on all things die cutting where she made the CUTEST card using our Pocket Gnome, Gnome Treehouse, and flowers to accent from our Flower Bundle and Mini Flowers dies! We just love the way she decorated the inside of the card with our Oh, Gnome clear stamp set! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!

Hi friends! Happy Monday! I love the sweet imagery and the interactive element in this card by Caly Person! Be sure to read on and watch the video for all the details. Enjoy!

Hello Friends! I’m sharing a fun spinner card today using the My Favorite Things Top of the World set!  We’re going to be Copic-coloring and ink-blending a galaxy scene so let’s dive right in!

I stamped and colored the images with Copic markers.  Here are the Copic markers that I used:

• Grays:  C1, C2, C3, C7, W0, W2, W5, W6
• Browns:  [E51, E30, E31, E35, E39], [E11, E15]
• Greens:  [YG05, YT13, YG09], [G21, G24, G28]
• Blues:  BG0000, BG000, BG01
• Pink:  R20

I used the smaller images to create a disc for the spinner mechanism and used a button instead of die-cutting a bunch of layers of circles for static disc.  Be sure to check out the video to see how this is done!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

I created a galaxy background using Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot.  This is probably best seen in the video above. Once I was done creating my background, I sealed in the colors and brought back some vibrancy using Tim Holtz Micro Glaze using a ink-blending tool and foam.  

These spinner cards so easy and fun to make and I hope you enjoyed my process!  Thanks so much for stopping by and spending some time with me today! ~Caly

Last day to get a bonus gift card!!

Hey there, crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today! With the warmer weather now upon us, it’s a lot easier to find outdoor elements to incorporate into our crafting projects. This month’s installment of Not a Card takes some easy-to-find nature elements and turns them into a fun DIY game of tic-tac-toe!

This is a great project to make with or for kids; custom paint some rocks, use sticks for the board, and then store everything in our Simon Says Stamp Junior Mesh Bag (which can also be decorated)! I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks to color the mesh bag.

Be sure to watch the video to see how I created this cute game!
