This card features a 2×3 stamp set that was one of the Stamps of the Month. You can see the entire set below.
Available at Brutus Monroe for $4.99
I used a stamp positioner and the Wreath Builder Stencil from Gina K Designs to create the wreath with chick images and a smaller heart stamp to create the front of my card panel.
Images stamped on Aqua Pigment Watercolor Paper and Glossy Accents added to hearts for added interest
I used a rainbow pattern of aqua pigments and colored the images as you would watercolor. I used red to color all the hearts. Once dried, I added a small amount of glossy accents to each of the hearts for added shine and dimension.
Aqua Pigments are very versatile and come in a variety of colors.
To finish my card, I matted several layers and heat embossed my sentiment on a circle punch using black glitter card stock for added interest.
Measurement of my finished card is 5.5 in x 5.5 in square.
Watercolor panel – 4.25 in x 4.25 in
Black Matt – 4 3/8 in x 4 3/8 in
Red Matt – 5 in x 5 in
Black Matt – 5 3/8 in x 5 3/8 in
Red Card Base- 5.5 in x 5.5 in (I glue a piece of lightweight white card stock or copy paper slightly smaller and adhere only at the top so you can write your message easily inside when using darker card bases.
Sentiment heat embossed with Alabaster White on black glitter card stock and matted with red to coordinate with the other layers.

This slimline card was extremely fun to make because Kawaii Cuties from Stamp Anniething has so many images included in each set, slimline cards are how you can have enough real estate to hold ALL THIS CUTENESS!!!!!
I find myself wanting to be late sending all my birthday cards this year, because I am absolutely in love with this sentiment! How cute is the sentiment, “sorry, I’m Choco-late!”
To make this slimline card, I used one of StampAnniething’s slimeline dies. This one is a stitched scallop die. Next, I used a combination of distressed inks from my stash to ink blend the background. I used spun sugar, squeezed lemonade, carved pumpkin, and at the very top I used a little bit of barn door to deepen the pink. I flicked some fresh, clean water onto the panel, as it will cause the distressed ink to react, and leave a bleached effect. I then mounted the ink panel onto a piece of card stock in a darker teal, giving approximately a quarter inch larger than the cut panel. The teal piece measures 3.5 x 8.5.
The first quarter release from Kawai Cuties by StampAnniething has some amazing sets. They are very versatile and you can mix and match on all different projects. This particular card uses the stamp set and coordinating dies from: Life is What You Bake It and I Will Never Dessert You.
I used COPIC markers to color my images. The following combinations were used:
I heat embossed the sentiment using Silver embossing powder on the same colored card stock I matted my base with to keep everything coordinated. To finish off the card, I created a white card-base to adhere my finished panel to. Finished card size is folded, 3.5 x 8.5. The card-base was made with white 110 pound card-stock cut 7 x 8.5, scored at 3.5.

Sharing a fun project created with Scrappy Boy Stamps’ latest release called Curve Appeal. I decided on trying out a 6×6 square card. I used one of my favorite sentiments from the set, “Dance Like No One Is Watching.”
I wanted to create a Vegas Style Showgirl feel and used a combination of rich reds, black and to make it regal, accented everything in gold mirror paper. Using various dies from my stash, I cut feathers to give some additional visual interest. I also heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
Copic Markers were used to color the image in tbe following blends:
Today I am sharing an elegant card using a neutral color pallet, with pops of gold metallic mats behind the embossed sentiment, “Seriously Dough, I Love Every Layer of You.” This card could be used as Valentine Card, Galentine Card, Pick Me Up, Thinking of You, Birthday, Miss You….literally for any person on your list! It’s a great set and can’t wait to see what everyone else makes.

Intentionally put aside some time this weekend to do some crafting. Used the Colorado Craft Company stamp set , “Sweet Friend – Cupcake.” This was such a fun image to color and due to its substantial size, can be cut in half to make two separate A2 sized cards.
Here is a card I made last year featuring Tombow water-based markers and Art Impression stamps.
