Spellbinders Blog Hop – Birthday Bliss

Hey friends! Today, Spellbinders is having a HUGE Blog Hop with lots of amazing projects!!

You can start at the beginning of the Hop on the Spellbinders Blog. Keep scrolling to see my project featuring the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for November!

I created this bright and cheery card using these products:
* Essential Envelope Die Set from the Not Your Ordinary Card Collection by Wendy Vecchi
* November’s Large Die of the Month
* November’s Clear Stamp and Die of the Month

To create the white pocket, I used the Essential Envelope Die Set. I also used this die set to cut the small flowers you see all over the card!


I also cut all the pieces (plus a few more!) from the Large Die of the Month with all different beautiful and bright colors. All the dies you see on the card are from this set (except the flowers and pocket)! Even the blue notecard is created from this die set!

The sentiment is from the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for November called “Confetti Wishes”. I die cut the outline die 3 times to create this really cool retro shadow vibe!

Thank you for hopping along with us! I hope you get inspired and I hope you WIN one of the THREE $25 gift certificates that Spellbinders is giving away!

Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop

Hey guys! I wanted to share how I put together this shaker card for the Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop! To win, you’ll have to head to the Hop on Instagram, but definitely scroll down to see how to make this card and all the awesome supplies I used!!

I used the Heffy Doodle Stitched Birthday Trio Dies with a piece of white cardstock. I then created 3 “scenes” with the 3 cut out pieces. On the top one, I blended Catherine Pooler’s Flirty Fuchsia and Glam inks. I also added some stars using a gold gel pen and the Starfall Stencil. I used Bellini and Mandarin Spice for the middle one. I added a background using the Sleepy Hollow Stencil. The bottom one is blended with Melon Ice and Garden Party and the Sleepy Hollow Stencil.

Next, I stamped my images from the Let’s Hang Out Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic markers and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I used the magnets from my White Glass Magnetic Craft Mat to hold my card base in place while I glued the 3 “scenes” down.

Now, I’m ready to create the shaker portion of the card. I used double sided tape on the back of the frame. Then, I cut down a piece of acetate to fit behind the frame and adhered it.

Then, I added 3D Foam Tape all around the frame.

Now for the super fun part!! Adding shaker mixes! I kept each section separate with the foam tape, so I wanted to use different mixes for each section. On the top, we have the Twiddler’s Nook Burning Embers Embellishment Mix. The middle one contains a mix of the Happy Jacks and the Mulan Princess Rings. The bottom is the Tiana Princess Rings.

Once I added my frame to the top, I added all my cute stamped images to the front of the card.

Just take a look at these embellishments up close!

My favorite craft essentials:
* Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine
* MISTI
* Smart Craft Glue
*  Petal Pink Gemini Jr. Die Cutting Machine
* 3D Foam Squares
* 3D Foam Tape
*Pre-scored Card Base
* Catherine Pooler Inks
* Catherine Pooler Blending Brushes

* White Glass Magnetic Craft Mat (Use code AMANDA20 for 20% off your order!)

Don’t forget: If you’re a Catherine Pooler StampNation member, you get EARLY ACCESS to every new release (plus SOOO many other benefits)! Sign up now! It’s worth it!

Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!

I’m so excited to share this card I made with you! I absolutely adore both of these companies’ products! They work SO WELL together! Can you guess which products are from which company? Read on to see!

To create my super vibrant background, I am blending Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust and Grape Crush through the Time for Tea Tiled Wall Stencil. Once that’s done, I am going to very gently go over the entire background with a blending brush that has leftover Sixteen Candles ink on it.

To create the forefront of my scene, I am using the leaves from the Heffy Doodle Tree-mendous Peekaboo Tree Die and blending Melon Ice and Lime Rickey onto my cutout. For the dirt hill, I am using the Heffy Doodle Slimline Scenery Dies and blending Sand Castle and Over Coffee ink onto it. I am then splattering some white acrylic paint mixed with water using a small paintbrush. I’ve also used the Silver Linings Border Dies to create some clouds for the top portion of my scene and have left them white.

Now I’m ready to stamp my little cuties! I am grabbing the Heffy Doodle Hello Squeakheart Stamp Set and the Time for Tea Cafe Critters Stamp Set. I’m coloring them with my Copic markers using purples, greens, and yellows.

I’ve cut out the word “ENJOY” using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Alphabetters Dies and used Melon Ice and Lime Rickey to color them. Once I’ve cut my stamped images out using the coordinating dies, I’m ready to start assembling my card! I’m using Heffy Doodle’s Deep Foam Tape and Glubert Glue. I’m also creating one last sentiment by stamping the word “SQUEAKHEART” from the Hello Squeakheart stamp set on black cardstock with Versamark watermark ink. Then, I’m applying white embossing powder to it and cutting the sentiment into a ribbon using my scissors.

And, voila! Don’t those little cuties look so cute?! 🙂

That’s it for me on this Hop! I hope you enjoyed my card and all the love I put into it!

GIVEAWAY INFO: To be entered to win the giveaway, all you need to do is comment at each stop along the Blog Hop!
Time for Tea will be giving away £25 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores!  Be sure to comment before 11:59 PM EST on Mar 2nd to be entered to win!

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!

You’re My Princess

Hello crafty friends!

Today, I am sharing a magical slimline card using the Princess Bundle Set from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alavrez.

To create this card, I printed the images on 80lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock. I, then, colored the images with Copic markers. I cut the images out using precision scissors.

To create my slimline base, I used the Pink and Main Blessings Slimline Die. I blended Broken China and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and Oxide to create my background. I adhered my card together using 3D foam strips and squares.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Xoxo, Amanda
