Hello fellow card makers!! I hope you had a great week!! I have a set of birthday cards to share that features the new Noted Peonies layering stamp set. I think I say this every time that Effie comes out with a new layering floral set, but I think I have a new favorite!! The way these layer up and leave the white highlights just make them appear so dimensional!! They just pop off of the paper!!
I began by stamping all of the flowers using Couture Inks. I have individual photos of each card and will go through the colors that I used on each.
I fussy cut all of the flowers and leaves and went to work on the background. The Basic Stripes Cling Background stamp was stamped onto white cardstock with the medium shade of ink in each collection. The Mini Dots Cling Background was also stamped onto white cardstock, but with the lightest ink in the collection. I adhered a strip of the striped paper to the left side of the card panel and trimmed a bit off of the polka-dot paper before adhering it.
The smaller flowers and leaves were adhered flat to the background, while the largest bloom was popped up with foam adhesive. A sentiment, from Morning Glory Greetings, was white heat embossed onto a black cardstock strip and popped up with foam tape. A sprinkling of Glass Slippers Sequins completes the card.

I created a new card for today using our GWP Morning Glory Greetings stamp. I heat embossed the cluster three times along the bottom half of a 4.5in x 6in watercolor panel. Once I watercolored the images, I created the sentiment elements using our Love and Hugs Word Plate dies. Lastly, I embellished the card with butterflies from our Beautiful Butterflies 1 and Gold Medallion sequins.
Here’s a roundup of cards from yesterday featuring our smaller sized GWP Chickadee Greetings stamp. Our Chickadee Greetings is only available as a GWP and is not available for separate purchase.
I am so excited to introduce this stamp bundle! This is a bundle of TWO 9×12 inch photopolymer stamps. Each layer that is boxed in red is one stamp. You can customize your projects and then use one of many sentiments included in the bundle. Once you stamp all the layers, the results are amazing!
We have a coordinating coverplate die that will cut all the letters out in one shot. You can find it here. This die DOES NOT coordinate with the 6×8 Floral Alpha stamps.
I started off by stamping our new Mini Dots background stamp onto white cardstock. Next, I added stitching to my polka dot panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small die collection. Next I adhered it onto a cardbase. Then I gold heat embossed and watercolored two pieces of our Morning Glory Greetings clusters. Additionally, I stamped and die cut our Layered Floral Alphas (Inks: Red Sangria, Soft Amethyst, Iris Blooms, Soft Garden, Bright Fern).
For now, I just used the L, I and Z since this will be a card for my sister. I’ll save the unused letters for a future project. Next, I stamped the additional sentiment in our Noir Dye Ink onto a white sentiment strip. Then I cut fish tail banners on each end. Lastly, I popped up everyone over my polka dot panel and added Gold Medallion Sequins to complete my card.
Floral Alphas, 6×8 Photopolymer Stamp Set
Next up is our Floral Alphas! This is a smaller set than the previous stamp set and there is no layering element. For this set, we have some beautifully detailed outline florals embedded into this bold font.
For this card, I stamped our Floral Alphas to spell out the word Happy in our Caviar Hybrid Ink. Then I colored in the little florals and leaves with copics. I also stamped our new Noted Peonies florals and (previously released) Fresh Cut Roses in our Peony and Ruby Collection Inks. The leaves were stamped in our Garden Collection inks. Next I created the die cut background using our Geometric Circles Coverplate die. The birthday sentiment was partially stamped and is from our Layered Floral Alpha Stamp Bundle bundle. Lastly, I assembled all the elements onto an A2 cardbase using foam tape.
I started off by stamping our new Basic Stripes onto white cardstock. Then I took each letter for the word THANK and lined them up in my Misti and then stamped and embossed a few strips for three cards. Next, I stamped and embossed our Morning Glory Greetings cluster and cut the clusters in half. Then I started assembling my cards by popping up the large Thank strip onto the striped background with foam tape. Then I tucked the floral cluster halves behind the Thank strip. Lastly, I stamped the “YOU SO VERY MUCH” from our Layered Floral Alphas and popped that up onto my cards. The three cards came together quickly and now I have some simple and modern Thank You cards for my stash.
Transformation Hummingbird, 6×6 Photopolymer Stamp Set
This is the latest addition to our Transformation line! Vera gave me the idea to create a whole line of this concept and I’m so excited about this hummingbird. I love morning glories because they’re truly wonderful to color. I thought it would be great to use this floral for our hummingbird design. I wanted to make the set more versatile so I included some loose morning glory florals for customized clusters. I hope you love this set as much as I do. The coordinating SVG cut file is available here.
The newest addition to our coming up series is our Coming Up Morning Glories! This cluster is slightly larger than the previous Coming Up florals which makes it even better to color. There are several bold and scripty sentiments included in the set. Coordinating SVG cut file available here.
Here’s what our morning glories embossed images look in relation to each other. You can really get a sense of how large the Transformation Hummingbird and Coming Up Morning Glories are!

Hello, everyone! It’s Anna here with a very special post. We are so excited to join the super fun 2019 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! The Ton is proud to be a super sponsor and flash sponsor for this hop. You can link up your newly created projects with anything goes but with a caffeinated theme [also includes cocoa and hot apple cider!] for a chance to win many prizes, including two (2) $10 gift certificates to The Ton!
This hop runs from Friday, November 1 – Friday, November 8. Winners will be announced on Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog. See all the details HERE.
For this hop, I created a Christmas coffee card.
I started by stamping images from Hug in a Mug, Holly Branch and Holiday Trio (poinsettia cluster) onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed them in Rose Gold. Then, I watercolored them all and cut them out. I splatted the card panel with left-over paint (brown).
Next, I ink blended Hollywood Star on a stripe of white cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment from Cozy Poinsettias onto it in white.
I adhered all images on the card panel and foam mounted the card panel on a kraft card base. Lastly, I added a few sequins from Amethyst Quartz Couture Mix to finish it up.
Don’t forget to hop over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog with a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa ready in your hand, as there are so many other participants playing along in this hop.
Good morning & Happy Halloween!! I know today is Halloween, but I am in full-blown Christmas card mode over here, so I have a holiday card to share with you today!!
I LOVE pairing blue and red together for Christmas!! Actually, blue is like a neutral for me…it goes with everything!!
I stamped both images in the Holiday Trio stamp set with Caviar Ink, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I love that the poinsettia cluster is separate from the gift trio…the gifts can be used year-round for any occasion!!
For the background, I die-cut the Geometric Circles Coverplate from white cardstock and adhered it to a panel of silver glitter paper. The gifts and poinsettia cluster were popped up onto the background with foam tape. The greeting, also from Holiday Trio, was white heat embossed onto a strip of black cardstock and also adhered with dimensional adhesive. A bit of Silver Stickles adds some sparkle to the center of the poinsettias.
Thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!!
I began by stamping a beautiful Christmas frame in Valentine Red, Everglade Moss and Deep Emerald. I stamped big poinsettia and holy branches with the same inks. Then, I cut out all images with matching dies.
Hello everyone! Hope the week is off to a great start! It’s TaeEun here today with a couple of cards featuring some of our butterfly stamps.
Did you know that there is no real pink butterflies in the nature? I realized it recently as I decided to make the butterflies for my cards pink. I was curious and googled. hmmm.. but why not? Nothing is impossible in cardmaking 🙂 !
I stamped one butterfly in Lemon Drop and filled it with the patterns in Arctic Sky and Caribbean Turquoise. I fussy cut the butterfly and glued it on the main panel as shown in the picture. I also stamped another butterfly in Hollywood Star and heat embossed the inner pattern in Rose Gold. I cut the butterfly and set it aside.
I started off by making the background panel using Pink Peonies washi tape. I adhered it on a white cardstock panel and added white gesso on the center of it. I then stamped the “hugs” in Hollywood Star using Brushed Hugs stamp set. I heat embossed the upper half of the letters in Rose Gold. I cut it using the coordinating die and set it aside.
I cut the small floral elements from the Pink Peonies washi tape and wildflowers washi tape which I adhered on some white cardstock. The little butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies 1 stamp set were heat embossed in Rose Gold and then ink blended in Soft Garnet. I cut them using the coordinating dies (now we have the coordinating cut files in the shop!).
I cut the panel with the Pink Peonies washi tape using a Double Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it on a pink cardbase. I foam mounted the words and arranged the flowers and butterflies as shown in the picture. I finished off the card with a few clear dew drops.
I like the texture which the white gesso adds to the background. It also toned down the pattern in the background!
That’s it from my side today! I hope you enjoyed a little break from making holiday cards 🙂 !
Hi peeps. How’ it going? Vera here and today I am bringing a tropical inspiration.
I know, it’s fall season, but I can’t help thinking tropical as I’ve been feeling homesick lately. I came from a tropical country and I grew up with coconut trees lining up our front yard. So, when I saw this Palm Close Up set, I know I have to have it.
I started by inking up the card panel with various ink color. Once that done, I stamped and heat embossed the palm leaves. I just love the way the leaves look. It feels calming to me personally.
Next, I adhere the adhesive glitter gold paper to a piece of cardstock and run it through the die cut machine with the word hugs from Love & Hugs Word Plate Dies set. I die cut 3 more set from a plain cardstock to layer it up to make it stand out more.
Finish the card by die cutting the word sending and adhere it to the card. By using the gold embossing powder it takes what would be a very simple card to a next level where it also looks elegant. Just because something is simple doesn’t mean it has to be boring, right?
I hope you enjoy today’s card and maybe in a small way it also makes you feel relax and dream of the tropical soft breeze.
Oh yes, don’t forget that Caring Hearts Card Drive is in full swing right now. If you’d like to bring joy to others and brighten the elderly Christmas season please consider mailing in some handmade holiday cards to the card drive. The Ton is one of the generous sponsor. Here’s the link for the card drive details: http://lingshappyplace.blogspot.com/2019/10/2019-caring-hearts-card-drive.html
Hello everyone! Olga with you today! I want to share one card with Cardinal Friends. I associate this bird with Christmas. And it’s so easy to colorize. Red, what else?
I stamped all details of my card using Caviar Hybrid and colored it with alcoholic markers.Then I applied the Coordinating Dies.
