An Adorable Encouragement Card with Candice!

Hello everyone! Time certainly flies and tomorrow is the Lunar New Year! I’d like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous year of the Tiger!

I have a very cute card to share today so let’s dive right in!

Candice created a beautiful background using the Sending Hugs & Kisses Stencils 360° with dye ink colors inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace Challenge

This Sending Hugs & Kisses Stencils 360° creates gorgeous backgrounds in very little time and it’s a great alternative to patterned paper!

She stamped the hugging kitties image from My BFF onto a heart and colored them using Copic markers.

I love how she die cut two hearts and placed them behind the kitties to create a focal point!

She also white heat embossed the sentiment and added some embellishments to finish off the card.

Butterfly Inspirations with Stefanie and Karen!

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a great week! I’m sharing two gorgeous creations from our team this evening and they both happen to have butterflies as the core element of the card!

First we have Stefanie’s card! Her creation is so bright and delightful!

She blended a beautiful background using the Mega Blocks – Penguin Perfect Patterns 6×6 stencil. I love how she used Layer 4 from the Butterfly Emergence 2 in 1 Layered Dies and pair it with vellum to create this dreamy look – so gorgeous!

I also love how this card works for a lot of different occasions; anniversaries, friendships, just because, valentine’s, you name it!

Next we have Karen’s inspiration. Her card also features the butterfly from the Butterfly Emergence 2 in 1 Layered Dies. She picked just one of the dies from Layer 3. I really love how this intricate die alone gives a card an elegant focal point!

For the background, she used the Slimline Oriental Cover Die. This is a slimline cover die, and she cleverly trimmed this off so that it works for her standard size card!

The sentiment is from Magical Christmas Sentiments. She added a few gems to finish it off.

Thank you so much Stefanie and Karen for your wonderful inspirations!

Thank you for stopping by, have a great rest of the week everyone!

Chinese New Year Card with Candice!

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome back! I wish all of you a prosperous and healthy 2022!

Did you know that Chinese New Year (CNY) – Year of the Tiger is coming up on the 1st of February?! Candice is back today to share a card to celebrate just that!

I love this gorgeous background which Candice created! She used the Fun Doodle Dividers and stamped a few of the images in a radial pattern using ink colors inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace Challenge. Head to our Challenge Blog for more details!

Next she used the Legend of The Koi stamp set, did a couple of the different layering stamp options to create this pair of beautiful koi. She cut them out with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and adhered them to the front panel with foam tape.

She white heat embossed the sentiment on a banner cut out of our Night Sky Premium Cardstock. I love the focal point she created with the images from the Fun Doodle Dividers stamp set which sets the scene for the koi!

Thank you much Candice for sharing this awesome card!

Thanks for visiting our blog, have a great day!
