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!

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.

Making a Pocketfold Tri-fold Card with a Bookmark

September 16, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Hello, my fav crafty peeps! How are you doing? I’m doing AMAZING because I get to share this fun card with you! The new Holly Jolly Christmas Collection from Catherine Pooler is available for purchase now! So make sure you get your goodies before they sell out!!

If you want to buy the whole Christmas Critters Bundle of goodies, you can use this link here.

To create this card, I’ve used the Better Not Pout Patterned Paper Pack, the Naughty List Stamp Set, the Merriest Sentiments Stamp Set, and the Tree Trimmings Die.

I stamped my images from the Naughty List Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers, and then die cut them with the coordinating die set.

For my center panel, I stamped my sentiment from the Naughty List Stamp Set and then cut it out with the Circles Dies. I also added my dotted circles using the Circle Party Stamp Set and Melon Ice. On a piece of Better Not Pout Patterned Paper, I die cut the Tree Trimmings Die in the center. Then, I adhered my circle cutout in the center with my favorite Bearly Art Glue.

For my bookmark, I trimmed down a piece of Better Not Pout Patterned Paper to 2″x 5″. I rounded off the edges with my most favorite 3-in-1 Corner Punch. I added my hole reinforcer from the Notecard Frame & Tag Dies. I just love the “Fa La La La La’ sentiment from the Merriest Sentiments Stamp Set, so I stamped that in the corner using Midnight Ink. Finally, I added a few pieces of Tuxedo Turquoise Twine.

To get my scalloped edge, I used the Decorate Edge Dies.

To tie the whole thing together, I used a brad and the Party Twist Twine.

Such a fun card filled with cheeriness! Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog today! I appreciate you so much!!

Sweet-n-Spooky Mini Pocketfold Notebook

August 25, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Have you seen the New Sweet-n-Spooky Bundle from Catherine Pooler?! The release is available now for purchase! Make sure to get your spooky bundle before they sell out!

To make this really fun pocketfold notebook, I trimmed down a piece of Letter size white cardstock to 11″ x 4″ and then folded it into a trifold. Then, I added the too cute Sweet-n-Spooky Patterned Paper to each flap on the inside and the outside.

Then, I created a pocket by trimming down a rectangle piece of patterned paper. I scored at .5″ on 3 sides and then folded at the score lines. Using scissors, I trimmed off the corners of the side and bottom flaps. Next, I can add double sided tape to each flap and then adhere it to my pocketfold.

I created 2 tags using my favorite tag punch.

I cut a piece of black cardstock using the new Eek Boo Cover Plate.

For the mini notebook, I simply trimmed down a piece of the patterned paper to form a book cover. I folded some regular computer paper to form the pages and then stapled them together. I used red SuperTape to adhere my pages to the cover because this tape is super strong.

Next, I stamped my images from the Toil and Trouble Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.

I trimmed down some twine to wrap around my pocketfold, leaving enough to tie into a bow.

Here are more photos of the finished mini pocketfold notebook!

What are you excited about getting from this release??!

Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson IG Hop

July 8, 2022July 7, 2022 amandafitterer1 Comment

Hey friends! Did you see that Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson kicked off an Instagram Hop together today!? You DO NOT want to miss out! They’re BOTH giving prizes away to 3 lucky winners! Woot!! Head to the IG Hop here.

I’m sharing TWO cards I made using this amazing Float Your Boat stamp set that Catherine Pooler’s team made exclusively for Ellen Hutson. Read on to see how I created these cards!

For my first card, I trimmed down my Parqs and Rec Cover Plate Die to change the sizes of the rectangles. (I love when dies can be used in different ways, don’t you?!).

On a piece of A2 White Premium Cardstock, I blended Something Borrowed, Oh Boy!, All that Jazz, Aquatini, and Minted inks. Then I spritzed my background with water and some paint droplets using a paint brush.

Next, I glued my frame down to my background and then stamped my sentiments using Midnight Ink. I used the White Premium Cardstock to stamp my images from the new Float Your Boat stamp set. I colored my images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating dies. I used 3D foam squares to attach my stamped and cut images to the card front. I added some St. Cloud sequins at the end for a finishing touch!

For my second card, I used Heffy Memo Tape to mask off the bottom of the card front. I used Drive-In and Serenade for my background. Then, I used Black Jack on the bottom of the card for my “road”.

Heffy Doodle and Pawsome Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop

June 21, 2022June 21, 2022 amandafitterer18 Comments

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Pawsome Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! Plus, you have a chance to win prizes from both companies!

I have 2 cards to share with you today that I made using products from both companies!

For my first card, I’m going to start off with the Heffy Doodle Brick by Brick Stencil. I’m blending Catherine Pooler’s Grape Crush and Pixie Dust inks through the stencil and then spritzing with water and flicking on some white paint/water mix onto my background.

Next, I’m grabbing the Pawsome Stamps Picture Perfect Stamp Set, stamping my images and then coloring them with Copic markers.

I’m going to pair these adorable frames with the Heffy Doodle Popping By and Bed Heads Stamp Sets.

Now I’m ready to assemble my card! I’m using 3D foam squares to adhere my stamped images onto my card front. I’m using Glubert Glue to adhere some gems as well!

For my second card, I’m grabbing my Heffy Doodle Fancy Foliage Stencil and Catherine Pooler’s Chiffon, Glitz, and Limoncello inks. I’m blending the inks, then spritzing the background with water and flicking on some white paint mixed with water.

I’m using the same Pawsome Stamps Picture Perfect Stamp Set and pairing the frames with the Heffy Doodle Koality Hugs Stamp Set this time!

After stamping and die cutting my images, I’m using 3D foam squares to adhere my stamped images onto my card front. I’m using Glubert Glue to adhere some gems on this card as well!

I hope you loved my 2 cards I made using products from both companies! Now, onto the GIVEAWAY INFORMATION!!

To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop!
Pawsome Stamps will be giving away $30 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores! Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM EST on June 24th to be entered to win!

Sneaky Peeky! New Catherine Pooler Quint-Essentials Collection!

June 1, 2022May 31, 2022 amandafittererLeave a comment

Don’t you just LOVE New Releases?! It’s always so fun and exciting to see the new products in the crafting industry! Today, I get to give you a sneak peek of the new Quint-Essentials Peeking In Bundle!

Check out these little More Peeking Pets! I’ve paired my Peeking Pets with the S’mores Please Patterned Paper from last month’s release!

I blended Limoncello and Glitz for my background and then spritzed some water and white paint onto it to create some texture.

To create my paw print pattern on the bottom, I’ve used the little paw included in the More Peeking Pets Stamp Set and some clear glue ink. I’ve added a little sparkle to each paw print for a subtle shimmery pattern.

Are you looking forward to more sneak peeks?! ME TOO!! Make sure you’re subscribed to my blog so you’re emailed when I put out the next sneaky peek!

See you back here soon!! Xx, Amanda
