All the cards I share in the next few weeks will be using the In the Amazon Bundle and the Part Tres Extras Bundle:
Jungle Amigos Stamp Set
Jungle Amigos Dies
Peruvian Market Patterned Paper
Lima Sequin Mix
Deepest Darkest Peru Cover Plate
Scallop Square Dies
Tickets & Tape Dies
Just Right Duos Sentiments Stamp Set

To create this shaker card, I started by die cutting the Deepest Darkest Peru Cover Plate on white cardstock. I ink blended Melon Ice and Grass Skirt, focusing the lighter shade of green towards the center.

On my pre-scored card base, I blended Grass Skirt. I spritzed my die cut and card base with water. Then, I splattered my favorite white and black acrylic paints (mixed with water) onto both.

Next, I stamped my images from the Jungle Amigos Stamp Set and then colored them with alcohol markers. I like to add highlights with the a white gelly roll pen. Once I was finished coloring, I cut them using the coordinating Jungle Amigos Dies.

To create the shaker portion of the card, I trimmed an acetate sheet to a teeny bit smaller than my die cut frame. I adhered the sheet to my frame using redline tape. Then, I applied 3D foam tape to create depth between the layers and hold my Big Apple Sequin Mix shakers inside.

I propped my cute sloth and branch up using my favorite 3D foam squares. I used Bearly Arts Precision Glue to glue my flowers on.

Heffy Doodle + Chibitronics IG Hop

January 17, 2023January 12, 2023 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hey friends! Did you see we’re doing a Collaboration Hop between Heffy Doodle and Chibitronics on Instagram!? There are prizes are up for grabs!!

I created this fun light-up card using the Craft with Light Kit – White by Chibitronics. I used lots of Heffy Doodle products! Keep reading on for those links!

Shop Heffy Doodle Store

Shop Chibitronics Store

First, I created my bright background! I blended some Catherine Pooler inks through my Zapp Attack and Cogs & Code Stencil. I used Heffy Memo Tape to mask off the top and bottom of my card.

I stamped my images from the Bots of Love Stamp Set and then I colored them in with OLO markers. I cut them out using the coordinating dies.

Once I decided where I wanted my lights, I started to prepare for the wiring.

I poked holes through the robots’ hearts where I want the bulbs to show.
Then, I placed the robots on the background where they were going to be glued down once the card is assembled. I made a mark with a pencil through the robots’ heart holes onto the background.
Then, I poked holes through the pencil marks on the background panel.
Lastly, I used a pencil to make marks on my card base where the lights need to be placed.

On my card base, using the pencil marks I made in the last step as a guide, I’ve made marks where the + and – wires need to line up. I did this by taking the lights and placing them down onto my card base so the light was right over top of the pencil mark. Then, I looked at where the copper + and – are on the light unit and drew lines where I need the wires to be lined up to touch the copper part.

I’ve also created a “housing unit” for my battery with a plus and minus sign on it, so I know which way to insert the battery once it’s time. I also marked where I want the battery to be on the card base.

Next, I started by taking my tape and cutting it in half down the center to create smaller/narrower pieces. This isn’t necessary, but was helpful with navigating the tape.

I adhered my battery housing unit to my card base and started placing my + tape. This tape is the top wire which goes to the base of the battery housing unit.

Then, I placed my – tape which starts on the flap of the battery housing unit.

Next, I used 3D foam tape around the whole base of the card to “lift” my card front up so the battery doesn’t stick out farther than the rest of front panel. I attached the stamped images with 3D foam squares, making sure to line the robots up to the lights properly.

Come join in the IG HOP to enter to win the prizes from Heffy Doodle and Chibitronics!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Enjoy the Hop!

Life is Better with YOU

January 13, 2023 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hey friends! How do we feel about the color purple?? I tend to lean towards the pinks and yellows for my cards, for whatever reason. However, I am loving this color combo of Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust, and Drive-In! What do you think??

DIY Gift Card Pocketfold using the Thank You Kindly Bundle

December 10, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hey friends! Did you come to learn how to make this gift card holder? It’s SO easy to make! Craft along with me! Grab your scoring board and bone folder, a piece of 8.5″x11″ cardstock, some patterned paper, some stamp sets and some dies!

Shop the New Collection

Thank You Kindly Bundle

Bee Thankful Paper Pack

Start by creating your pocketfold out of 8.5″x11″ cardstock and your scoring board. On the longer edge, score at 3″ and 8″. Turn the paper 90 degrees and score the shorter edge at 2 3/8″ and 6 1/8″. Using scissors, cut your corners off completely. Fold and score on the remaining score lines. Use a corner punch to round your corners.

Now, you can decorate your pocketfold! Use patterned paper, such as the Bee Thankful Paper Pad! I also used the Ruffles and Dashes Dies to add a stitched border to my inside paper.

Don’t forget to decorate both sides!

Now, let’s make the gift card holder pocket. Using the 2nd smallest scallop frame from the Ruffles and Dashes Dies, cut out a piece of patterned cardstock. You want the inside of your pocket to be 2″ x 3.5″. Make a score line on your sides at 3/4″. Trim off the bottom so you’re left with 2 3/4″. Score the bottom so you have a 3/4″ flap. Use scissors to angle cut the 2 bottom corners.

Now create some decorations! I used the Corner Swag Stamp Set and the Thank You Kindle Stamp Set. I used OLO markers to color in my stamped images and a Gelly Roll pen to create my highlights. I cut out the stamped images with the coordinating die sets.

To hold my pocketfold together, I punched 2 holes on the front flap and the bottom flap and threaded through some Torch Twine.

Stay tuned as I continue to share more projects made using this New Collection!

Craftroom Tour!

Hey guys! I’m so excited to share some updated photos of my craftroom! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to message me on Instagram or leave a comment on this post!

The pegboard and accessories are from IKEA!

These are the Alex drawers from IKEA. That’s my Bernadoodle pup – Knox! He says, “HI!” This is where I take all my photos of my projects!

My hubs made me these amazing marker holders! You can see his work at www.onecraftyguy.com or follow him on Facebook or Instagram!

He also made me the ink pad holders!

I did find these Ink Pad Storage on Scrapbook.com that are similar!

I love having everything sorted by rainbow! These are acrylic jars I got from Amazon. I also ordered a bunch of different twines and ribbons from Amazon and sorted them all by color.

I love having my colored cardstock nearby, so I keep them in their packaging and have them organized in my cart. I used IKEA’s dish separator to keep them up straight!

Thank you SO much for coming to my blog today! As always, I REALLY appreciate when you use my affiliate links (which can be found throughout my post). It doesn’t cost you anything or affect your order in any way, other than giving me a teeny percentage of your sale! This allows me to continue to buy crafty goodies and share tutorials and cards with you! So THANK YOU! Xx, Amanda

Holy Cow! You’re Pretty Llamazing!

May 9, 2022May 3, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hello, crafty friends! I hope your week is off to an amazing start!! If it’s not, hopefully this bright and happy card will cheer you right up!

To make this card, I started by blending my beautiful sky background on a piece of A2 cardstock. I spritzed it with water and added some white paint drops. Next, I used my Stitched Slopey Joe Border Dies and blended them with inks as well.

I just love that the Fence Border Die works with the Slopey Joe Dies! So, I just cut that guy out with white cardstock and didn’t add anything to it.

Next, I cut my pieces from the Boats and Barns Die, including 2 barn structures. I ink blended one of the barn structures very dark red and the other barn a lighter red. I placed my darker one behind to be the “inside” of the barn. The lighter red die cut, I cut out the barn door opening and the window opening and added my other die cut pieces with glue.

Once I had my background all set, I stamped my images from the Llamazing Llamas and Udderly Fabulous Stamp Sets. Then, I colored them with Copic markers and die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

The last step is to assemble the card! I grabbed my Glubert Glue and 3D foam squares and strips and got to work!

That’s it for me today! I hope you enjoyed this post! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Xx, Amanda

Ex Libris Birdcages

April 6, 2022March 31, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Oh my gosh! I love the new Lovebirds Stamp Set, don’t you?! The whole Ex Libris Collection is finally available for purchase now! Woot woot!

Although I ADORE the new ink colors, I am a Party Collection girl myself! So, I wanted to showcase this stamp set using a Party rainbow blended background. I blended Party Dress, Limoncello, and Fiesta Blue to create a gorgeous rainbow background. I also spritzed the background with water to create some texture!

Once I had my background blended, I stamped my birdcages and sentiment straight onto my background. Then, I used a ruler and black Copic pen to draw lines from my birdcages to the top of the card.

DIY Mini Journal with 6×6 Patterned Ppaer

April 4, 2022March 28, 2022 amandafitterer1 Comment

Heya, friends! Are you getting excited that it’s ALMOST time to get your new Catherine Pooler goodies?!

I’m sharing tons of inspiration from the Lovebirds Bundle!

I have step-by-step instructions on creating this mini journal.. so read on!

I’m starting out with my uber-professional looking template! 😉
1. Cut a piece of white cardstock down to 4.75″ x 7.25″.
2. Score it at 3.5″ and 3.75″.
3. Round off your corners with a corner punch, if desired.

Grab your patterned paper – I’m using the new Twilight Reading Paper Pack.
4. Cut down smaller pieces of cardstock that are approximately .25″ less for each layer. I’m using the Scallops and Dots Dies and a paper trimmer.
5. If you rounded your edges on your white cardstock base, you’ll probably want to round these off as well. I’m only rounding the right corners.

6. Use a small hole punch or poker tool to create a small hole for a brad.
7. Place a brad in the hole, giving yourself room to wrap twine around a few times.

8. On the inner flap, tape a piece of twine that’s long enough to wrap around your mini journal 2-4 times, depending on what you want it to look like.

9. Glue a piece of patterned cardstock on the front flap to cover the tape and brad. My piece of paper is 3.25″ x 4.5″. I’m also using the same size and paper for the other flap.

I’m going to add a little more interest on the front of mine by stamping some birdcages from the Lovebirds stamp set with the new Apricot ink. Im going to trim that down and glue it to the front.

Now we’re ready to work on the inside!
10. Grab a piece of patterned paper and trim it down to 3.75″ x 2.5″.
11. Score at .5″ and 3.5″. Turn 90 degrees and score at .5″.

12. Use some scissors to cut triangles out of the flaps.

13. Use red tape to secure the pocket to your mini journal.

14. Grab some computer paper. Trim strips that are 8″ x 2.75″. Fold them in half and secure them together with a stapler. Stamp an image in the corner on one or all of the pages.
15. Use red tape to secure it to the inside of your journal.

16. Create some tags out of coordinating patterned paper and stick them in your pocket!

That’s it!

I hope you enjoyed this post and try to make your own mini journal!

Sweet Lovebirds

April 2, 2022March 28, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hey friends! It’s that time again! A NEW RELEASE from Catherine Pooler is coming out!! Yippee!! And I get to share the Lovebirds Bundle with you! Plus, the NEW INKS! I’m SOOO in love with this release!

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the new Stitch Your Diamonds and Cross Your X’s Dies, the new Ginger, Apricot, and Terracotta Inks, the new Twilight Reading Paper Pack and the new Lovebirds Stamp Set!

To make this card, I used the Stitch Your Diamonds Die on white cardstock. Then, I ink blended it with Apricot, Ginger, and Terracotta inks. For my background, I used a piece of the Twilight Reading paper and die cut it with the Cross Your X’s Die. I layered them on top of each other and adhered them with liquid glue to my card base.

I stamped my Lovebirds and sentiment with black ink and then used Copic markers to color them in. I cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added some London Mix sequins to finish the card off!

Can you tell how much I love this release?! You can start shopping the New Release on Tues, April 5th if you’re a StampNation member! Everyone else gets to start shopping on Weds, April 6th!

Ex Libris Beautiful Birdcage

April 1, 2022March 28, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

The first card I get to share with you showcase the new Twilight Reading Paper Pack, the new Apricot Ink, and the new Lovebirds Stamp Set!

I used the Circle Dies to cut out a circle in the bottom right portion of my patterned paper. I blended my circle cutout with the new Apricot ink. I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock and used my circle die to remove that section of my white strip. I stamped my sentiment from the Lovebirds stamp set in the open space on the left side.

I stamped my birdcage with black ink and then used a Copic marker to lightly color it in. I propped my patterned paper up with 3D foam tape to create more dimension. I added some London Mix sequins to finish the card off!

Are you as excited about this release as I am?! You can start shopping the New Release on Tues, April 5th if you’re a StampNation member! Everyone else gets to start shopping on Weds, April 6th!

I have another fun card to share using the Just Roll With It Collection.

To create this card, I started with the Slider Pop-up Dies from Heffy Doodle. I love using this die to create an easy interactive card! I cut the card front with the Potted Patterned Paper.

For the inner panel, I blended Bellini, Orange Twist, and Flame.

Next, I stamped my images from the Just Roll With It stamp set and colored them with Copic markers. Then, I die cut them with the coordinating dies. I stamped a sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and then rounded the corners.

I assembled the card using 3D foam tape. I attached my kitties and leaves with foam squares and liquid glue.

And that’s it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Roll With It Slimline Card

February 5, 2022February 2, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

I have another card to share with you using the Catherine Pooler New At Home Collection Release?

To shop with my affiliate link and help me earn a little extra cash (at no cost to you) to buy more crafty goodies to share more projects with you, click here or use the links in this post!

Today, I’m making a card with my leftover piece from yesterday’s card. If you missed my post yesterday, you can see it here. I’m using the Just Roll With It Collection for this release!

I ran a slimline card front through my die cutting machine with the Plant Stand Slimline Die. I placed the die cut card front on top of another slimline card front. Then, I blended Limoncello, Glitz, Party Dress, Pucker Up and Flirty Fuschia inks onto both card fronts. This gives me 2 different card fronts to use!

Next, I stamped my kitty from the Just Roll With It stamp set and then colored her with Copic markers. I also stamped my sentiments on black cardstock nd then used white embossing powder on them. I used the Nested Stitched Heart Dies and then trimmed off one edge of the heart and propped it up with foam squares.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me today! I can’t wait to share more cards with you from this collection!

xx, Amanda
