Hello and welcome to the blog, my friends! Today is the Lantern Festival and the last day of Chinese New Year festivities, so I made a card using a couple of stamp sets by Crafty Meraki. I started by stamping the lanterns from the Year Of The Ox Stamp Set and the girls from the Galentine Stamp Set on Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock using Memento Black Ink. Then I fussy cut all the images using my cutter bee scissors...

Hello, fellow crafters and cardmakers!! Brenda here with you today!! Even though Valentine's Day has passed, anytime is a good time to express our love to friends and family, am I right? I absolutely love the adorable foxes in the To-Tail-Ly Awesome Stamp Set and HAD to color the one standing on his head!! I began by stamping the images from the To-Tail-Ly Awesome Stamp Set onto white cardstock with InkOn3 Blackout Ink. I colored the images with Copic markers...

Hello  my crafty friends! Today I have a beautiful friendship slimline card to share.      Firstly , I stamped the image from Galentine stamp set onto Bristol paper which is Zig markers-friendly 😌.  I used masking paper to close the image. Then I started to ink blend the background. I used Walnut Stain, Crackling Campfire, Spiced Marmalade and Scattered Straw Distress Oxides .    Once my background was done I removed the masking paper and started to color the image. I used Zig Clean...

Hi crafty friends! Today I am showcasing the Fluttering Feathers background stamp with a new (to me) product that was an inky mess, but so much fun! I used color burst powders for the first time. Color burst powders are highly pigmented, watercolor powder that "bursts" with color once spritzed with water. I played with several color combos and made dozens of backgrounds to use for future projects. My fingers are still slightly blue from all the pigment!To create my...

Hi guys, it's Jenny here, and today I'm sharing with you two ways to use a slimline die - its essentially a two cards for one technique as you'll see. I'm featuring the beautiful Crafty Meraki Crafty Wings Slimline die. To create my cards, I first die cut the butterfly from sturdy 110lb cardstock. I wanted to use something thicker, as I'm first going to use the die cut as a stencil. I overlaid it onto a panel of white...

Hello friends! I'm back with another Crafty Meraki post using new products from their recent release. Let's get started... For my card I used the To-tai-ly Awesome stamp set featuring some adorable foxes. The fox doing a headstand is my favorite! I stamped them with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with copic markers. I cut them out using my Scan N Cut but if you don't have this machine you can fussy cut them or you can purchase the...

Hi there crafters! Linda here today with a fun slimline card created with the amazing Pixie Perfect stamp set! Aren't these images the cutest? I started this card with a fun purple colour slimline card base and then added a front panel, which I blended with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink from Ranger. I added loads of splatters in pink, blue and white on to my background, to make it even more fun! I then added a piece of grass,...

Hello everyone! Isha here, with a water colored floral card using the One of a Kind stamp set.   I started by stamping the flowers using versamark ink onto watercolor paper. I then sprinkled WOW!

Stamp the solid leaves images using antique linen distress ink onto watercolor paper. Color using Altenew watercolors. Once dry, I flicked some...
