Hey guys! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I’m sharing a card I made as a Guest Designer for Sunny Studio Stamps.
This stamp is actually from the Autumn Garland Stamps, but I wanted to show you how it could also be used for a Winter card!!
Do you ever have those days where you don’t really feel like crafting, but you want to do something in your craftroom? That’s what happened to me! I just decided to stamp out this beautiful garland, put on a show, and use my Copics to color it in! I added some highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.
I die cut the image out using the Autumn Garland Dies. Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5”x4.75”. I added a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps directly onto my white cardstock. The background paper is from the Joyful Holiday Paper. I trimmed this paper down to 4”x5.25” and glued it directly to my card base. I used 3D foam tape to adhere my white cardstock to my patterned paper. Then, I used 3D foam squares to adhere my garland to the white cardstock.
I added a few sequins on the left to help balance out the entire card. Here’s another photo of the finished card!

Hey there, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card I made using some fun products from the Sunny Studio Stamps New Release! I had so much playing with these products and creating some festive Holiday cards!
I used Copic markers to color all of my pieces. I love using Copic markers – as opposed to colored cardstock or ink blending – because I feel like I can give the pieces more depth this way. I place the pieces on a piece of scrap paper so that I don’t ruin my workspace!
I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps with black ink on the house. (PS, I LOVE this stamp set! All of the sentiments are just perfect for the inside or the front of a holiday card!)
That’s my adorable holiday card to share with you today!! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you find some time to get crafty today!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope the rest of your week is amazing! Xx, Amanda

Hey crafty friends!! Did you see the New Release from Picket Fence Studios? I was able to get my hands on some of these goodies and I had such a blast making some cards! I’m excited to share them with you today!
First up, we have this really bright and colorful card that I made using the Fabulous Foiling Toner A2 Card Fronts – Birthday Bash. I took one of the card fronts and cut it down to 5″x3.75″. I ran the card front with the “HAPPY” die through my diecutting machine with the Happy Birthday Word Die Set. Next, I cut the “birthday” die with white and black cardstock. I glued these 2 pieces together to create a shadow effect. I propped my “HAPPY” up with 3D foam strips, also creating a shadow effect. I glued this card front to a piece of black cardstock trimmed to 5.25″ x 4″. Then I glued that to my A2 card base. The final step was to add some Gems!
I used the same products for this card below! But instead of using black, I used gold and vellum!
This shaker card was made using the same products as the card above! The only difference is that I used the Brass Doorknob Paper Glaze as well.
Wow! What fun new products, huh! I hope you enjoyed looking at my inspiration! If you use the links in this post, they are affiliate links to Picket Fence Studios. This just means that I’ll earn a tiny commission if you buy anything using my links. I’d appreciate it, as that can help me create more content to share with you! Xx, Amanda
Hey friends! Today, we’re kicking off a CRAFTY Collaboration Blog Hop with Pear Blossom Press and Heffy Doodle ! Come hop along with us and see some awesome light-up cards! Plus, each company will be giving away £20/$25 PRIZES! All you have to do to be entered to win is to leave a comment at each stop along our Hop Lineup before May 29th at 11:59 PM EDT. Winners will be announced on the Pear Blossom Press & Heffy Doodle Blogs on 5.31.24! Scroll down for the Blog Hop Lineup!
On a plain piece of white cardstock, I used some Heffy Memo Tape to mask off the top half of the card. I ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Wintergreen ink. Then, I removed the Heffy Memo Tape and ink blended the bottom half of the card. I stamped my sentiments – one from the Koality Hugs stamp set and one from the PRESS Stamp and Die Bundle.
Next, I stamped all of my images from the Koality Hugs stamp set and colored them with Copic markers. Then, I die cut them out using the coordinating dies.
Now, I can make the card light up! I poked a hole through my koala where I wanted him to light up. Then, I placed him on the card where he’ll chill permanently. I, then, made a mark where the light should go.
Then, I used double sided tape to adhere my Pear Blossom Press One Light where my pencil mark was. Then, I used the World’s Best Foam Tape all over the card base. This tape is the same depth as the EZ-Lights battery component. (This will keep the light from sticking out.)
Then, I assembled the rest of the card using liquid glue and 3D foam squares.

I have created this fun light-up card using products from both companies! Read on to see how I created this card! You’ll be amazed at how EASY it is!!
Next, I stamped my images from the Sugar and Calorie Free Stamp Set. I colored them in with Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment onPerfect Sentiment Cardstock – Black with Embossing ink and then sprinkled white embossing powder on it. I melted the powder with my heat tool and then die cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die. I also used the coordinating dies to cut out my cakes. I used the same dies to cut out 2 plain black pieces of cardstock. I glued the cakes and their black counterparts together on a slight angle, to give the effect of a shadow!
On my card base, I made 3 little pencil dots where I wanted the candles’ flames to be. I also made a little pencil dot where I wanted the ON button to be. For this card, I’m using the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Lights. I used double sided tape to adhere my battery and button where I wanted it. Then I used masking tape to hold my wires and lights in place.
Once I had everything in place, I placed Pear Blossom Press’s World’s Best Foam Tape everywhere except over the lights and battery/button case.
On my card front, I poked 3 holes where my lights are. I placed my Pear Blossom Press Yellow Candle Flame Gems over the lights using liquid glue. Then, I placed my Clay Candles under the flames and adhered them with liquid glue.

Hey guys! In case you missed it, Alex Syberia Designs and Lindy’s Gang have a Collaboration Insta-Hop going on right now! There are some prizes to be won! Plus, check out all the amazing inspiration the teams have created! You can join the Hop on Instagram! But first, scroll down to see how I made these amazing bookmarks!!
Next, I stamped my Alex Syberia Designs Watercolor Flowers Stamps (the solid flowers) with my Wow! Embossing Pad. I applied clear embossing powder to it, and then melted the powder with my favorite heat gun. Once that was cooled down, I sprayed water on my Glass Matand then sprinkled on some of Lindy’s Gang’s Pinkie’s Up and Crumpet Crumbs Magical Shakers into the water. Then, I flipped my bookmark upside down into the glittery gorgeousness until all the white was covered!
For my other bookmark, I stamped my Alex Syberia Designs Watercolor Flowers Stamps (the outline flowers) with Catherine Pooler’s Midnight Ink. I like this ink because it makes crisp images and stays wet enough for me to apply my Clear Embossing Powder onto it! After I’ve applied my powder and heated it up with my heat gun, I’m ready for the next step!
For this bookmark, I’m actually going to apply the water and powder directly onto the bookmark. I’ve also added a bit ofGrab a Guy Gold Starburst Spray to it.
Now to add my cute pandas! I’m using the Cheerful Panda Moments Stamps and Dies and just adding a little bit of color with a gold gel pen and R02 Copic.
Here’s some close-ups of these gorgeous bookmarks!

Next, on another piece of white cardstock, I created my dirt path using Copic colors E21, E53, E23, E25, and E27.
Then I created a wheat field using Y21, YR21, YR23, YR24, and YR27. I added BG70 and BG72 for the sky.
I stamped my little bear from the Collecting Memories stamp set, colored him in with Copic markers, and then die cut him with the coordinating die.

Hello friends! It’s Amanda Fitterer and today’s card that I’m sharing features the new Cheerful Panda Moments stamp set! These pandas require minimal coloring, which makes it much easier to create this panda party!
Once I got them placed and adhered with 3D foam squares, I used my favorite Cutterbee scissors to trim off the overhanging panda parts.
Such an easy but adorable card! Who wouldn’t want to join this Panda Party!?
I hope you enjoyed this sweet little card! Thanks for coming by my blog today!

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a soft and pretty “LOVE YOU” card featuring the Paradise Birds Stamp Set. Let’s make this card together! Grab your supplies!
For the White/Green Panel, we’re going to blend Catherine Pooler’s Melon Ice just around the edges. For the White/Pink panel, we’re going to blend (just lightly in the center) Cotton Candy.
Next up, we’re going to stamp our leaves from the Paradise Birds Stamp Set directly onto our card base using Melon Ice ink. To make this process a little quicker, I like to use a combination of my acrylic blocks and my MISTI. I do this because I want to use the foam from the MISTI to get a better stamped image, but the acrylic blocks make it much faster, as I don’t have to constantly move my stamps around!
We’re ready to stamp our sweet birds now! After stamping with alcohol marker-friendly Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I’m coloring my images with Copic markers. Once finished with that, I’ll die cut them with the coordinating die set.
Well, friends! That’s it for me today!! I hope you have enjoyed this post and find some time to get crafty today!!

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop! We are so excited to share amazing cards from our Design Team members using the new release! For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store!
I love seeing how people “sketch out” their ideas for their cards, so I wanted to show you how I do it! This is how I visual the card: I knew I wanted to use the Stitched Birthday Trio Frame so I die cut that out first. Then, I lay out my stamped images and any other dies I want to use. I then take a photo so I can remember how I have things laid out!
Now, I’m going to ink blend my pond and grass and 1 panel cutout. I’m using Catherine Pooler’s Melon Ice and Martini for the grass. I’m also using All That Jazz and Uptown for the Ripple Waves Stencil pond. I LOVE this color combo! I like to do my ink blending before coloring my stamped images so that I can make sure my stamped images coordinate with the ink colors.
So, now I can color my images! I’m using OLO Alcohol Markers to color my images. I add highlights with my ABSOLUTE FAV white Gelly Roll pen.
Let’s cut these little guys out now! Like I mentioned earlier, I use 3″ wide cardstock so that I can run it through my Mini Die Cutting Machine! If you don’t have a mini die cutting machine, you HAVE to get one! They’re also available on Scrapbook.com, if you’re in the US!
Using my frame as a guide (held in place with washi tape), I’m gluing my panels down with Glubert Glue.
For my frame, I’m using Deep Foam Tape because I want it to really have a LOT of dimension!
The last step is to add my images with 3D foam squares! For some of the images, I used 2 foam squares on top of each other to get even more dimension!
Here are some close-up images!
To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop before March 14th, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST. The winner will be announced on the Heffy Doodle Blog on March 16th at 10:00 AM EST!

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop! We are so excited to share amazing cards from 8 Design Team members using the new release! For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store!
As part of the Blog Hop, I get to share this fun and happy card showcasing some of the brand new products!! Read on to see how I made this card!
To create this card, I am blending a piece of A2 white cardstock with Drive-In, Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, and Bellini inks. I am using the brand new Heffy Doodle Stitched Birthday Trio Frame Dies to create a frame for my A2 card.
Next, I’m going to place my stamps where I think I’ll want them to go. This helps me see the finished card without committing to anything just yet!
Once I have my selected stamps from the NEW Safari Animals, Koality Hugs, and Mane Squeezestamp sets, I am coloring them in with Copic markers and then cutting them out with the coordinating die sets.
My final step is to assemble the card and add some accents! I’m using the Heffy Doodle Deep Foam Tape to adhere my trio frame to the ink blended background. I’m using 3D foam squares to attach my stamped images and sentiment. For my sequins, I’m using Glubert glue to hold them down.
Here are some close-ups of the finished card!
To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop before May 4th, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST. The winner will be announced on the Heffy Doodle Blog on May 5th at 10:00 AM EST!
Did you see my last post where I created that beautiful rainbow background with the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate?? Today, I’m going to share the card I made using it!
To make this card, I die cut the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate on a piece of white cardstock. Once cut, I grabbed another piece of white cardstock and placed it underneath my die cut piece. Then, I blended a rainbow with Maker Forte Flamingo, Yellowstone, and Neon Lights inks. This gives me TWO backgrounds at once!
For my sweet pup, I used Enjoy the Little Things stamp set. I colored him with Copic markers and then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I propped him up with 3D foam squares and put him on a piece of round vellum.
For my sentiment, I grabbed my Brighter Days Sentiment Cards and trimmed out the “just so ridiculously proud of you” sentiment.
For the finishing touch, I added some rainbow colored gems!
The next step was to attach my heart background to a black card base with liquid glue.
Don’t forget, you can use code T4TAMANDA10 to get 10% off your purchase!
Well hey there, crafty friend! Today I’m sharing this fun rainbow card I made using the Hooray Hamster stamp set!
To make this card, I die cut the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate on a piece of white cardstock. Once cut, I grabbed another piece of white cardstock and placed it underneath my die cut piece. Then, I blended a rainbow with Maker Forte Flamingo, Yellowstone, and Neon Lights inks. This gives me TWO backgrounds at once!
Then, I was ready for my hamsters! I stamped them with black ink and then colored them in with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.For my sentiments, I grabbed my Brighter Days Sentiment Cards and trimmed out 2 sentiments.
The next step was to attach my heart background to a white card base with liquid glue. For my hamsters and sentiments, I propped them up with 3D foam squares and strips.
Stay tuned for a card using the extra rainbow background NEXT WEEK! Woot woot! Use code T4TAMANDA10 to get 10% off your purchase! See you next week!
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.

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!

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.

The first card I get to share with you showcase the new Twilight ReadingPaper 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!

To make this card, I cut 4 of the Fabulous Word Die out of white cardstock.
I glued each of them on top of one another. Then I dabbed the die cut onto a Embossing Ink. I added Glitz Wow! Embossing Powder to it and then used a heat tool to melt the powder.
I ink blended Orange Peel, Pink Champagne, and Tranquil onto a piece of white cardstock. I die cut a panel using the Flower Power Slimline Die and then cut it down to fit onto my blended panel. I also die a Nested Stitched Heart out.
I used glue and 3D foam squares to adhere my card to my card base.

While waiting for that to dry, I cut a panel of white cardstock for the ground. I used the Tiled Wall Stencil and Twilight ink to create little pavestones.
Next, I stamped my images from the Enjoy the Little Things and Cafe Critters stamp sets, colored them with Copic markers, and then cut them out using the coordinating dies.
Finally, I assembled my card using liquid glue and 3D foam squares.

Well hey there, crafty friends! I sure hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Did you get any crafty goodies?! I hope so!!
Today, I’m sharing a Baby Shower card! I love interactive cards and the Slider Pop-up Dies make it so easy to make one quickly!
To create this card, I have blended some gorgeous Catherine Pooler blues on my cutouts from the Slider Pop-up Dies . Next, I’m spritzing the ink with water.
I’ve stamped my images from the Beary Big Heart and Chimply the Best stamp sets. Now, I’m ready to start coloring the images with Copic markers!
To create my leaves, I am using both the Amazonian Leaves and Forest Leaves Dies. To color the leaves, I used Limoncello and Tiara inks. I am gluing my leaves, sequins, and monkey on using Glubert Glue.
Using the Classic Sentiments stamp set and the Chimply the Best stamp set, I’ve created my sentiment on a piece of white cardstock.
Voila! So easy and fun! Plus, it will make a great Baby Shower card that is sure to be gushed over!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you’ve enjoyed this post as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it with you!! Xx, Amanda
Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Newton’s Nook Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! I am super excited to share my card with you!
To create this card, I’m starting with the Heffy Doodle Slimline Mini Mails Die and a piece of white cardstock trimmed to slimline size (3.5″x8.5″).
Next, I am stamping my images from the Newton’s Nook All About for Christmas stamp set and the Heffy Doodle Santa’s Village stamp set with the Maker Forte ReMARKable Eclipse Black ink. This is my favorite alcohol-friendly black ink!
Now, onto coloring my adorable images with Copic markers!
To create my hill and slider element, I’m using the Heffy Doodle Slimline Scenery Dies and the Straight Slider Dies. To create a longer slider, I’m die cutting 2 of the sliders right next to each other.
Using Deep Foam tape, I’m propping up my hill to give me room for a button to use as my sliding element. After attaching my trains to the buttons, I can start assembling the rest of the card using 3D foam squares and glue!
Here’s another photo of the finished card and some close-ups!
And that’s it for my card!! I hope you enjoyed my part in the Blog Hop!
