Create a Smile Stamp Bright Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card featuring Create a Smile for their Birthday theme challenge. Create a Smile is hosting a monthly theme challenge with a chance to win a gift certificate to their store. I love Create a Smile stamps and am so enjoying the inspiration and community they have built on Facebook. For the card I wanted to make a rainbow but also draw your attention to the big bold sentiment so I used a scallop frame die from Gina Marie. For more information and tips check out the video.

Fox Card featuring JustME Digital Stamps and MFT Flop Die

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card and video tutorial featuring the MFT Oval Flop Die and JustME digital stamps. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the flop die but when I did I was excited to give it a go. If you want some more info on how I made the card check out the video:

I've adored Elena's illustrations for a long time and I love that I can get some of her design through Neat and Tangled but that she also has her own digital stamp store. I love the digital stamps because you can resize them or flip them and they come in different combos. I hope she continues to share new designs.

Alcohol Ink Background featuring Right at Home Stamps

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card for the Right at Home One Year Anniversary challenge. I'm so happy for Nicole and think she is doing some amazing things with her line of stamps. I wish her all the best as she continues to share new products with us all. The challenge is to create a card using the Right at Home stamps. I used the Script Greetings stamp set for my sentiment and created a background with alcohol inks. For more details check out my video:

In the video I created my own enamel dots using Tonic Nuvo Crystal Drops. While they are not exactly like manufactured enamel dots they are a great money saving alternative and I'm quite happy with the results.
