VIDEO | Spellbinders Just Add Cake Garden Party

Hello there, I'm delighted to be over on the Spellbinders YouTube channel sharing two cards using the Garden Party Etched Dies from the Just Add Cake Birthday Cardmaking Kit. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

The first card (left) uses just the products in the Just Add Cake Birthday Cardmaking Kit. I used the Garden Party Etched Dies, Garden Party Shaker Domes, Just Add Cake Sequins, and Just Add Cake Clear Stamp Set (for the sentiment). I used the cardstock in the kit - Blush, Tutu, Beeswax and Rainforest + Chiffon for the card base. 

The second card (right) combines the Garden Party Etched Dies with the mug and hand/arm from Birthday Brew Etched Dies. The sentiment is also from the Just Add Cake Clear Stamp Set. The cardstock colours I used from the kit are Blush, Tutu and Beeswax. I then used other non-kit colours - Peridot, Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Seaside and Alabaster. I also embellished with Pink Color Essentials Gems.

Altenew | Tone-on-Tone Willow Branches

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Altenew Willow Branches Stencils. Since I was a child, I have loved willow trees. They always felt a little magical to me, I am not sure why! Although I love the traditional greens, for this card, I was thinking along the lines of the Japanese pink willow trees, but instead of using pink, I went with purple!

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off with a panel of Altenew Crafty Necessities: Glacier Iris Cardstock. I placed the Altenew Willow Branches Stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending using Mini Blending Brushes with Altenew Enchanted Garden Fresh Dye Inks. 

I used the following inks for the layers: 

• Stencil 1 - Wisteria
• Stencil 2 - Hydrangea
• Stencil 3 - Ultraviolet
• Stencil 4 - Andromeda
• Stencil 5 - Andromeda with a light layer of Jet Black Fresh Dye Ink on top
• Stencil 6 - Jet Black

I did offset the branches layer slightly, so that I had a slight highlight on the top of the branches. 

To add some interest onto the card, I added splatter in the three different ways: 

• Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray - this adds to the magical feel by adding some sparkle. 
• Titanium White Artists' Gouache - mixed with a little water, this adds some highlights to the card. 
• Ultraviolet Artist's Gouache - mixed with a little water, this adds some darker splatters around the tree.

The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base using Altenew Glue Tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Bold Sentiments Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was cut into a strip and the edges 'painted' using a black Fine Liner Pen to cover up the white core.

It was adhered to the card using Altenew Black Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

I really like the tone-on-tone look with the stencilling on top of the light purple cardstock. I think it gives an almost silhouette look to the tree. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day and a great week ahead! 

Spellbinders | Upright Italic Happy Holidays

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog sharing a step by step photo tutorial showing how I made the card below using the new Paul Antonio Upright Italic Happy Holidays Press + Foil Plate. As the name suggests, you can use the plates for either pressing or foiling. I chose pressing for this card. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I pressed the Spellbinders Upright Italic Happy Holidays Press + Foil Plate onto Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock. Since this cardstock is "normal" cardstock, you don't as much of an impression/letterpress look as you do with Letterpress cardstock but it does still transfer the ink nicely! (Although my camera at the moment is getting a reflection off the black lettering, so they look a little patchy in the photo, they are not in real-life!) 

I pressed an accompanying sentiment from the Spellbinders Mistletoe Greetings Press Plate & Die Set. The cute bird is from Spellbinders Little Birdies Etched Dies, and the foliage from Spellbinders Christmas Cracker Etched Dies.

As you can see, the sentiments in this collection (there are three others) are quite large, so they make a big impact on a card, which is nice!

VIDEO | Simple Summer Sunset Scene with Pinkfresh Studio

Hello there, today I have a card and video to share using the new Pinkfresh Studio Peaceful Pause suite. There is a cling stamp, coordinating die, and stencils and I am using all three products for my card today. I thought I would go quite vibrant with the colours, creating a simple summer sunset for the background. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by stamping the image from the Pinkfresh Studio Peaceful Pause Cling Stamp onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. I then die cut it out using the Pinkfresh Peaceful Pause Die. Please note that I am only using the main image from stamp on my card, if you were using some of the smaller images as well, you would want to do the stencilling first, then the die cutting. 

I placed the image onto my Pinkfresh Studio EasyBlend Grip Mat and added the stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending to the image using Blending Brushes. I used all three sizes - 1", 1/2" and 1/4". I used the following ink colours for the image:

• Grassy Knoll, Key Lime and Mermaid Cove for the grass, bushes, plant stems/leaves and the tops of the trees. 
• Doe and Gathered Twigs for the three trunks. 
• Soft Lilac, Candy Violet and Regal Kiss for the hammock, flowers and outsides of the lanterns. 
• Bubble Gum for the pillow/cushion, blanket and flowers. 
• Lemon Whip for the lights and inside of the lanterns. 

I set the image aside to dry while I worked on my sunset background. To a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white cardstock, I added ink blending using Pinkfresh Studio 1" Blending Brushes. I used (top to bottom) Candy Violet, Bubble Gum, Apricot and Lemon Whip. 

The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base using glue tape. The image was adhered on top using thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from the set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink and cut it into a strip before adhering to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Champagne Clear Drops.

Pinkfresh Studio | Soft Meadows Tag

Hello there, today I have a tag to share using the new Pinkfresh Studio Quiet Moments July 2026 release. This is part of an Instagram hop sharing more inspiration using the new release, but I wanted to share it here too. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my tag by stamping the new Pinkfresh Studio Soft Meadows Stamp onto Spellbinders Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink. I then placed the Pinkfresh Studio Soft Meadow Stencils on top, one by one, (I did not use the the stencil that creates a background) to add ink blending using Pinkfresh Studio 1/2" Blending Brushes. 

I used Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink for the flower centres and leaves, and Pinkfresh Studio Mermaid Cove Ink for the flowers. The panel was then die cut into a circle using the Pinkfresh Studio Double Stitch Circle Dies. To add some texture to the panel, I ran it back through my die cutting machine with the Pinkfresh Studio Basket Weave Coverplate Die. 

I die cut the largest of the Pinkfresh Studio Embroidery Hoops Die three times from white cardstock. They were adhered to the stamped piece, one on top of another, using Pinkfresh Studio Precision Clear Craft Glue. I die cut the pin from matte silver cardstock and adhered that behind. I then die cut another of the circles from white cardstock and adhered it to the back. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio Woodland Trails Stamp onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink. It was die cut out using the Pinkfresh Studio Woodland Trails Sentiments Die and then I die cut the die again twice from white cardstock. They were adhered behind the stamped one and then the whole thing adhered to the tag. To finish, I threaded twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow and embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Dew Drops.

Pinkfresh Studio | Quiet Moments July 2026 Release Blog Hop

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio to celebrate the Quiet Moments July 2026 release with a fun blog hop. I have one card to share with you today, but I will also have another tomorrow and another on Friday too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

For my card today, I am using the new Retro Camp Days suite. The suite consists of a cling stamp, stencils and a coordinating die set for the sentiments. I started off my card by stamping the image from the Pinkfresh Studio Retro Camp Days Stamp onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink. It was then die cut into a panel using the Pinkfresh Studio Single Stitch Rectangle Dies. 

I placed the panel onto the new Pinkfresh Studio EasyBlend Grip Mat and then placed the Pinkfresh Studio Retro Camp Days Stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending to the image using Pinkfresh Studio Blending Brushes in 1" (for the sky and ground), 1/2" and 1/4". 

I used the following inks for the different areas: 

• Campervan, table and chairs - Regal Kiss and Candy Violet for the main parts, Doe for the chair and table legs, plus the coffee in the mug, Apricot for the cushions/pillows, Soft Lilac for the blankets and rug, and Detail Black for the wheels. 
• Key Lime, Grassy Knoll and Mermaid Cove for the grass. 
• Key Lime, Grassy Knoll, Doe and Gathered Twigs for the trees. 
• Apricot, Sparkling Rose and Candy Violet for the sky.

The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base. I then stamped the sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio Woodland Trails Stamp onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and the die cut again twice from more white cardstock. They were adhered behind the stamped one and then adhered to the card. To finish,  embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Dew Drops.

Altenew | July 2026 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, thank you so much for being here! Today I am delighted to be joining Altenew to celebrate the July 2026 release with a fun blog hop. As always with Altenew, the July release is full of festive products, but there are some non-festive ones too, if that is not your thing! There is also a new cardstock pack releasing, as well as new foam adhesive. 

I am going to start off by sharing my festive cards first, then move onto the non-festive ones. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

FESTIVE GREENERY

My first card today uses the new Altenew Festive Greenery Die Set. This wonderful set features, as the name suggests, different greenery/foliage. My card uses just one of the foliage pieces to create a wreath. I cut it multiple times from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Dew Drops Cardstock. The berries were die cut from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Frosty Pink Cardstock. 

I added ink blending to the foliage with Altenew Aqualicious and Teal Cave (Sweet Dreams) Fresh Dye Inks and for the berries, I used Altenew Pinkalicious and Razzleberry (Cherry Blossom) Fresh Dye Inks. The berries were adhered to the foliage pieces using liquid glue. I took a US A2 sized white card base and drew a faint circle on top with pencil (using a Nesting Circle Die as a template). 

I then used the circle as a guide of where to place the foliage. I die cut the 'happy holidays' sentiment from the new Altenew Holiday Essentials Die Set from white cardstock five times. I adhered them one on top of another for dimension and then onto the card. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins. 

LUSH BOTANICALS: POINSETTIA

My next card uses the Altenew Lush Botanicals: Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder & Die Set. I die cut the petals from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Frosty Pink Cardstock, and the flower centres from white cardstock. I placed the die cuts into the embossing folder and ran them through my die cutting machine to add the embossed details on them (so pretty!). 

I added ink blending to the petals using Altenew Coral Berry Fresh Dye Ink. Once the ink was dry, the flowers were assembled using liquid glue. I took a US A2 sized white card base and stamped the sentiment from the new Altenew Holiday Messages Stamp Set on top using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. 

The poinsettias were adhered to the card using the new Altenew Foam Adhesive Dots 1/6". I then cut off the excess from the sides using scissors. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins. 

FOREST FRIENDS

My next card uses the beautiful new Altenew Forest Friends Silhouettes Die Set, which I die cut using Altenew Crafty Necessities Cardstock, die cutting each layer three times. I added ink blending to the top layer with Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks and adhered the other non-inked ones underneath for added dimension. 

• Tree background layer: Aqualicious Cardstock with Teal Cave Ink. 
• Tree: Teal Cave Cardstock with Galactic Stream Ink. 
• Deer: Galactic Stream Cardstock with Galactic Stream Ink + Jet Black Ink.

I then added ink blending to the bottom of a panel of Altenew Crafty Necessities: Dew Drops Cardstock using Aqualcious Ink. This was adhered to the US A2 sized white card base first, leaving a gap at the bottom for the snow, followed by the die cut layers. I then mixed Altenew Titanium White Artists' Gouache with a little water and splattered it on top before setting it aside to dry. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Sleigh Ride Greetings Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and the die cut again another two times from white cardstock and adhered behind, before adhering to the card. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

WINTERBERRY POINSETTIAS

My next card uses the new Altenew Winterberry Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder and Stencils. I started off by placing a panel of white cardstock inside the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I then placed the stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending. 

I used Altenew Cherry Blossom Fresh Dye Inks (all four) for the poinsettia petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks (Sunray and Chamomile) for the centres, Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks (three lightest) for the foliage, Altenew Coffee Break Fresh Dye Inks (Mocha) for the branches, and Altenew Cherry Blossom Fresh Dye Inks (Pink Diamond) for the berries. 

The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Glue Tape. I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Festive Triangles Stamp Set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using the new Altenew Foam Adhesive Strips 1/16". To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

Now for the non-festive cards: 

BLOSSOMING TRIO

For my card, I started off by stamping the flower from the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Blossoming Trio Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then used the coordinating stencils to add ink blending to colour it in. I used Altenew Glacier Caves Fresh Dye Inks for the flower, Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves, and Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the foliage. 

It was die cut out using the coordinating die. I then die cut two circles from white cardstock using the Altenew Nesting Circles Die Set. I ran one of them through my die cutting machine to deboss the Altenew Making Moments Press Plate on top. I then added a score line towards the top of the other one to create a hinge, before cutting a little off the bottom to help the card stand up. 

I added Altenew Ultra Sticky Tape to the hinge and then adhered it to the back of the debossed one. The flower was adhered on top using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I stamped a sentiment from the set onto white cardstock and die cut out out before adhering onto the card. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Ivory Pearl Dots. 

GERBERA DAISY

In case you missed them, I shared these cards in my release post, which you can see here. They use the new Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Gerbera Daisy Layering Die Set.

Spellbinders | Spectacular Santa

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today, sharing a step by step tutorial on how I made the card below. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I used the Spellbinders Spectacular Santa Etched Dies from the new Spectacular Christmas Collection which is out now! 

I simply die cut Santa from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock + Treasured Gold Cardstock for the belt buckle and bell and assembled him. The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Spectacular Holiday Sentiments Stamp & Die Set.

Simon Says Stamp | Blooming Flower

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Flower Stencils & Die. The stencil set creates a no-line look with the petals and stem/leaves. I found it easier to line up the stencils on top of the die cut, rather than stencilling and then die cutting. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by die cutting the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Flower Die from white cardstock. I then placed the Simon Says Stamp Blooming Flower Stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending on top. I used Altenew Fresh Dye Inks in Aqualcious and Hydrangea for the petals, and Firefly, Grass Field and Shadow Creek (Green Valley collection) for the leaves and stem. 

I took a white US A2 sized card base and placed the Simon Says Stamp Brick Wall Stencil on top. I added ink blending, just around where the flower will be, using Altenew Wisteria Fresh Dye Ink. I removed the stencil and then mixed Wisteria and Hydrangea Ink with a little water and splattered them on top for some added interest. 

The flower was adhered on top using thin foam squares. I stamped a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp CZ Silhouette Sentiments Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Labels Dies and adhered to the card with more thin foam squares. To finish, I embellished with Simon Says Stamp Moonshine Sequins.

Obviously I went with a very non-realistic colour scheme for the flower but that's the great thing about cardmaking, the flowers can be any colour you want! There are lots of examples on the Simon Says Stamp website though of crafters using more realistic colours if mine isn't your thing. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Spellbinders Clubs | Frosty Fun

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Spellbinders July 2026 Small Die of the Month Club Kit called Snow Much Fun. It features two adorable penguins (I am just using one today), as well as snowscapes, three different snowflakes and a 'snow much fun' sentiment. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by die cutting the penguin from the Spellbinders July 2026 Small Die of the Month Club Kit. It was cut from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock in Classic White, Raven, Beeswax (feet and beak) and Chiffon (cheeks). I cut the hat from Lavender and Classic White, and the scarf from Lavender and Lilac. The pieces were adhered together using liquid glue. 

I then die cut the skis and poles from Spellbinders Silver Matte Treasured Cardstock, as well as white cardstock. The silver layer was adhered on top of the white for added stability. Although the set has some snowscapes, I decided to mask mine off instead. So I took a US A2 sized card white card base and masked off a snow bank/hill using Post-It Tape. 

I then added ink blending above using Tim Holtz Wilted Violet Distress Ink and a Spellbinders Large Ink Blending Brush. I mixed Spellbinders Splatter White with a little water and splattered it over the ink blending. The post it tape was removed and the splatter let sit to dry. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Spellbinders Hedge-Hugs Stamp Set onto the card using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. 

I then placed the skis onto the card so I could line them up with the angle of the snow bank/hill. I added glue onto the bottom of the penguin's feet and then adhered it on top of the skis. I picked up the penguin (with the skis now attached) and added glue to the back of the skis and thin foam squares to the body before adhering him down. 

I then adhered the poles to his flippers. I die cut one of the snowflake dies in the set three times from white cardstock and adhered them to the card (one being cut in half to match the angle of the snow bank/hill). To finish, I added teeny Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems to the centres of the snowflakes.
