If you haven’t heard about the grouped Layering stamp sets yet, you have to check them out! It is an ingenious layering system, which helps you layer multiple images at the same time. There are coverplate coordinating dies for these stamp sets, which cut the whole panel of stamped images in a single pass through your die cutting machine!
I then started assembling my card. I mounted the background panel flat on a pink cardbase and arranged the floral clusters. I adhered the leaves flat on the background and raised the flowers using some foam tape. The letters were added with foam adhesives. The small sentiment is from Layered Floral Alpha stamp set. I white heat embossed it on a strip of yellow cardstock and added it to the card. To finish off I scattered some Glass Slippers Round Confetti sequins.
I cut the flowers using the coordinating die, arranged them on a piece of A2 sized paper, secured the arrangement with a piece of Press’n Seal wrap and adhered foam tapes on the back of the floral arrangement.
I ink blended Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star and Cosmopolitan Pink on the front of a white cardbase making the perimeter darker than the center and added white splatters. I stamped the sentiment from Rose of Sharon set in Noir and transferred the floral arrangement onto the cardbase. I cut off the excessive area of the floral arrangement and added a few clear Dew drops to finish off the card.
Using the grouped layering stamp sets and coordinating dies you can stamp and cut the floral elements and sentiments only with several steps. I really love to have the finished florals in my stash for my next projects!

Projects by Effie. For the top right card, I heat embossed the Transformation image onto Bristol paper. Then I watercolored the image using Tombow Dual Tip markers. Then I blended our Miami Cool and Iris Blooms Dye Inks around the edges of my panel. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with our Noir Dye Ink.
For the bottom left card, I selectively heat embossed the floral wing portion of the Transformation stamp and then watercolored the images with Tombow dual tip markers. Lastly, I embellished my card using our Gold Medallion sequins.
Projects by Effie. For this card, I stamped the floral images using our Noir Dye Ink. Then I cut and colored out the images using Tombow markers. Next I created my blended panel by blending our Soft Garnet ink using makeup brushes. For the grid background, I used our Small Grid Stencil (created from our SVG cut file) and Thermoweb’s White Pearl Metallix Gel.

With our new Better in Red set, I created some fun scrapbooking embellishments and ephemera. This set also coordinates well with our Smooched stamp set!
For the layered lipsticks, I used the following inks: Noir Dye Ink for the base, Vanilla Frosted Cupcake and Beach Blondie for the gold hardware and Plum Wine for the lipstick color.
Next up is our Flawless stamp set! This set features chic makeup images so that you can create fashionable stylized projects! The coordinating SVG digital cut file will be available here.
I created more scrapbooking embellishments and ephemera using our Flawless and Smooched stamp sets.
Next up is our Autumn Sweater Stamp! This is such a fun background stamp. I designed our Christmas Sweater stamp in the past and thought I’d create a fall version. This one has squirrels in it! How fun whimsical is this?
White heat embossed on colored cardstock.
Project by Effie. For this card, I white heat embossed the Autumn Sweater Background onto light coral cardstock and trimmed it about an eighth of an inch on each side. I set that aside and stamped the squirrel and leaf stamps (from our Oak Leaf Print set – below). For these smaller stamps, I used our Spiced Chai, Lipstick red and Found Topaz inks. Next I cut these images out and arranged them onto a circle die cut. I popped it up along with the sentiment onto my white embossed background and finalized my card with Gold Medallion Sequins.
Oak Leaf Print, 4×6 Photopolymer Set
Next up in our seasonal lineup is our Oak Leaf Print! This is the fall version of our Folk Art Christmas Tree stamp. I wanted to create a whimsical fall themed stamp based on this folk art theme. Use the large oak leaf as a focal point or use the smaller stamps to create your own fall scene! The coordinating SVG digital cut file will be available here.
Stamped using a combination of our inks: Amber Citrine, Peach Blossom, Coral Cavern, Spiced Chai
This is the Thanksgiving version of our Vintage Christmas Block! It will be easy to mass produce your Thanksgiving card this year with our new block print design stamp.
I stamped this new fall themed block design using our Cocoa Collection inks and Peach Blossom, Coralline Hybrid and Coral Cavern inks. I also used the butterflies from our Sunny Folk Garden to embellish the cards.
I created an ombre effect using our Peach Blossom, Coralline and Coral Cavern inks. I used my Misti to stamp each color layer and obtain this perfect ombre result.

Let’s begin our hop! Here’s the fabulous lineup for today:
For my first card, I used our Coming Up Peonies and did a little bit of watercoloring with Ken Oliver Color Bursts.
I started off by white heat embossing this beautiful large peony cluster image from our Coming Up Peonies onto watercolor paper. Once embossed, I did a little bit of loose, wet in wet watercoloring. I started off by applying clean water to the largest peony petals.
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
Then I dropped in bits of Peony Color Bursts and then some Marigold Color Bursts for a two toned look. I used the same pigments for the peony buds. Once the warm colors were down, I used Lime Color Bursts for the stems and leaves. I made sure to watercolor a little bit outside the embossed lines to give it a more artsy effect.
Once I finished painting, I trimmed my panel into a size that’s slightly smaller than A2. Next I stamped the Good Luck sentiment with Caviar Hybrid ink and then added some Clear Rhinestones to finish my card.
I love the amount of white space of the panel against the bright color bursts!
This is more of a multi step stamp set and the results are really pretty! In the end, you have a multi toned chic lantern with floral elements and a candle.
I started off stamping the lantern frames. The frames should be stamped in three parts. Once the frames were stamped in our Found Topaz and Aspen Cocoa inks, I stamped the leaves of the florals cluster in Bright Emerald and Ocean Teal Dye Ink. Then there are two 2-step floral clusters consisting of four stamps in total. For the larger cluster, I used a combination of Soft Garnet and Red Sangria. For the smaller cluster, I used Amber Citrine and Coralline inks.
Once the frame of my lantern and floral clusters were stamped, I went ahead and stamped the candle. I used our Crystal Pewter first. Then I used the rock and roll technique to partially ink up the right side of the same candle stamp. I then stamped the candle again giving the image a bit of shading. Then I stamped the flame in Amber Citrine and the two step rope stamps in Warm Hazelnut and Found Topaz inks.
Couture Color Inks
I used the same inks for the two smaller lanterns in my card.
Once my lanterns were complete, I stamped my sentiment with our Aspen Cocoa Ink and finished my card by adding some Bermuda Blue sequins.

Today’s lineup of talented team members and guests are:
For my project today, I used our beautiful Smiling Cosmos set. This is our new 4×6 floral cluster stamp. The actual stamp is large! It almost covers an entire 4×6 panel.
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
I started off by heat embossing the floral image onto watercolor paper with our Rose Gold Embossing Powder. Then I did some loose watercoloring with Ken Oliver Color Bursts. For my cosmos petals, I added three different colors: Cerulean Blue, Indigo and Orchid. I love the three toned look to the petals once the paint finally dried.
Once the petals were painted, I painted the leaves with Olive Green color bursts. There are other smaller foliage and sprig elements in the cluster which I painted with Turquoise color bursts. The painting process went very quickly for this card since the design is more stylized.
Once my panel was dried, I die cut the watercolor panel into a stitched A2 panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Large Die Collection. I stamped (Caviar Hybrid Ink) my sentiment from the same set, trimmed it out and then popped it up onto my panel. Next, I mounted the painted panel onto a top folding A2 base and added some Gold Medallion sequins to embellish my card.
That’s all from me today! Your next stop on this hop is our super talented DT member Tae Eun!

For our mini hop today, we have some super talented guests joining us!
For my first pair of projects, I used our GWP Promotion stamp: Gifted. This set features three different gift box clusters (in addition to individual gift boxes). I really love this set for it’s ability to customize the different tones for each of the different gift boxes in the clusters since they are spaced out. You can just ink up different portions of each stamp creating a multi toned stamped image.

**We’re also issuing DOUBLE REWARDS POINTS for all purchases made from January 4 to January 7, 2019 at 7pm EST.
For my first card, I stamped my gift cluster using a variety of our Couture Color Inks (Hot Tourmaline, Bright Emerald, Cosmopolitan Pink, Azurite, Cali Blue and Hollywood Star).
Once stamped, I fussy cut my stamped image (dies are available). Next, I rose gold heat embossed our Delicate Grid background stamp onto white cardstock. Then I created a border using the two largest dies of our Double Stitched Rectangles (large) die collection. Then I assembled my card by mounting the border onto the rose gold embossed background. I additionally popped up my gift cluster.
For my sentiment, I used our Hugs word die (die cut from black cardstock). I adhered this directly onto my background. The Happy Birthday portion of the sentiment is from our Basic Banners (white heat embossed onto black cardstock and popped up). Lastly, I embellished my project using our Gold Medallion Sequins.
For my second card, the process was almost identical with a different background stamp. First, I stamped our Bare Tones background in Cali Blue ink. Then I die cut a white stitched panel using the second die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Large Die Collection. Then I assembled the background panel, white stitched panel and Gifted stamped cluster image together. I added our Gold Medallion sequins to complete my card.
For my next pair of cards, I used our layered Power Pumps set which I am currently obsessed with!
My first card was very simple (left)! I stamped the three step layered heels stamps in our Caviar Hybrid Ink, Smoky Quartz (highlight) and Red Sangria Hybrid). The sentiment was also stamped in our Caviar. Lastly, I trimmed my panel which I popped up onto a side folding A2 base.
The second card was created in a similar fashion. I just changed up my ink colors (Azurite, Cobalt Breeze and Vanilla Frosted Cupcake) and added more panels to layer my mats for more contrast. I also added the jeweled element to my shoes (stamped in our Caviar Hybrid Ink and Crystal Pewter).

For today’s hop, here is a list of all of the fabulous participants:
Snowflake Layering Coverplate Dies (A and B), 4.25 x 5.5in Coverplate Dies
This is our newest layering die collection which features an A and B plate. When combined, the result is a fun and whimsical design perfect for winter themed cards.
In this photo, I layered both A and B coverplate die cuts. The color combinations for these dies are truly endless. Just add a sentiment for a quick holiday card. Also, break out all of your colored cardstock for this die bundle!
For this next photo, I used the A plate die cut only and adhered it over white cardstock. Then I took the design a step further by using some of the snowflake die cuts that are produced with each pass and layered some of elements over each other for a more intricate and fun layered snowflake effect.
The beautiful thing about our Snowflake Coverplate bundle is that there’s more to the bundle than just layering the cover die cuts. You can take all of the negative snowflake die cuts and layer the elements together to make your own layered snowflake embellishments. This is a great way to stretch these dies! Also, layering the snowflakes and coming up with different color combinations is really fun and addicting! You can also try adding some Blizzard Hugs die cuts to your layered snowflakes for an additional design element!
For this card, I simply layered both coverplate die cuts (I cut A from mint cardstock and B from white cardstock). Prior to mounting the layered die cuts onto a base, I adhered some of our Silver Ribbed Glitter Adhesive paper as a background. For the sentiment, I silver glitter heat embossed the large sentiment from our Brushed Merry stamp set. Then I die cut the sentiment three times and layered them together to create an embellishment type sentiment. Lastly, I stamped the christmas sentiment in our Noir Dye Ink onto a sentiment strip and popped up across the merry. This was a very simple card to make – little effort but high impact!
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
For this card, I started off by layering some of my leftover snowflake die cuts from the A+ B coverplates. I also added a Blizzard Hugs snowflake die cut behind my layered snowflake for an added embellishment. Once my snowflake was assembled, I adhered it onto a round die cut and set it aside. Next I blended some Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline onto the bottom portion of an A2 panel. I blended the color towards the top of the panel for a minty ombre effect. Next, I die cut the panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small Die Collection. Then I used the A Plate in our Snowflake Layering Cover Dies and used that as a stencil to apply embossing paste onto my blended panel. This was matted onto a piece of black carstock which was then adhered onto a cardbase. For my sentiment, I gold glitter heat embossed the large Brushed Hugs and die cut it three times to create my sentiment embellishment. Next I adhered the sentiment onto my card and added the blizzard sentiment which was stamped in our Noir Dye Ink.
For my next card, I white heat embossed our new Coming Up Poinsettias onto watercolor paper and then used Color Bursts (Alizarin Crimson + Lime Green) to color in the outline images. After I painted the poinsettias, I heat embossed more foliage using the foliage cluster image from our Cardinal Friends. Once my background was complete, I die cut the panel into an A2 sized stitched panel and set it aside. Next I stamped this adorable cardinal and foliage cluster images onto cardstock with our Caviar Hybrid copic friendly ink. After I colored the images with copics, I die cut them and popped them up on my watercolored panel.
For my next card, I stamped the clusters in our Wonderland Print set (Bright Emerald Ink, Orchid Crush Ink and Rose Gold Embossing). Then I die cut the panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small die collection. I also die cut the inner negative space of my stamped border using the coordinating die. I set my stamped window panel aside to blend some Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline dye ink onto my card base. I wanted an minty ombre effect to show behind my shaker window. Next I created my shaker window using acetate and dimensional foam tape. Before I filled my shaker window, I stamped this large sentiment using our Noir Dye ink. Then I filled the window with some 3mm Glass Slippers sequins and beads (Diamond, Flurries and White Satin Beads). Lastly, I mounted the window panel over the base to complete my shaker card.
For my final card, I created a simple stamped project using our Blizzard Hugs set. I tamped the mid sized and smallest snowflake burst stamp a few of times onto an A2 panel in our Cali Blue Dye Ink. Next I stamped the smaller solid snowflakes in our Blue Diamond and Azurite inks. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment (Noir Dye Ink) to finish this simple card.

Hello, everyone and welcome back to our blog! We are so excited to participate in Kathy Racoosin’s fantastic coloring challenge blog hop. You should have arrived here from Trinity Stamps.
Hello!This is Day 2 of a two day hop to celebrate the tenth 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Have you heard of “The Daily Marker’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge” hosted by Kathy Racoosin? Right now it’s in the middle of the challenge and it’s a great time to take a leap, jump in and get your feet wet! Don’t feel like you are jumping into the middle of the challenge I hope you will think of it as a new beginning.
The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. However feel free to jump in or out as time permits.
For my post, I made two cards and videos using our Watercolor Bouquet and Watercolor Wreath Stamps! I stamped and colored one panel and sliced it diagonally to create two cards.
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
I started off by stamping a background pattern using our Watercolor Bouquet stamp set in our Miami Cool Dye Ink. Then I colored in the background using color pencils. I added blue, dark pink and green accents for a bright and beautiful background panel. I sliced it in half and used the larger panel for my first card.
I stamped a rustic wood background using our Buildable Woodgrain layering stamp using our Crystal Pewter and Smoky Quartz Dye Inks. I only stamped about 2/3 of my panel since the bottom half would be covered by my bouquet panel.
Next I created a silver glitter and navy strip to adhere behind my bouquet panel. Next I mounted that onto my woodgrain panel. Then I heat embossed the beautiful wreath from our Watercolor Wreath onto navy cardstock using silver glitter embossing powder. I embossed my sentiment at the same time and then die cut the wreath using the coordinating die. Then I mounted the wreath and sentiment using foam tape.
For my second card, I used my remaining stamped bouquet piece.
I started off by white heat embossing our Peony Terrace stamp onto a top folding A2 horizontal cardbase. Then I adhered the bouquet sliced panel onto the left side of my base. I added a silver accent strip for some bling. Then I stamped a gorgeous frame from our Modern Labels set in our Ocean Teal Dye Ink. Next I stamped the sentiment from our Large Peony 4 set in our Miami Cool Dye Ink. Lastly, I die cut the label/frame using the coordinating die and then mounted it onto my base to complete my card.

Hello and welcome to our Summer Kick Off Blog Hop!! While this hop is not specific to any theme, we wanted to host a special blog hop with our design team to show off some projects made with our products released in the last few months. We’ve had so many flash releases in the last few months that I wanted to finally organize a property blog hop with our team to show off some of our stamps and dies.
We have some giveaways for this hop! Be sure to scroll through this post for more details.
Photo taken against our Champagne Backdrop Board, 16in x 16in
For my card, I used our Nesting Peonies stamp set. This is the sweetest set ever! It features a beautiful peony tree cluster with a trio of adorable chickadees.
Nesting Peonies, 4×6 Photopolymer Set
I started off by stamping this beautiful cluster onto a piece of watercolor paper (Canson XL 140lb Paper) using our archival Noir Dye Ink. I stamped this image around the outer edges of my panel to create a border.
Next, I prepared my panel to do some wet in wet watercoloring. For this technique, you are merely adding wet watercolor paint to a wet portion of your watercolor paper. To prepare my panel, I used a #16 Filbert Brush (Blick Scholastic Wonder White) to apply a wash of clean water to my panel. Then I started dropping in my watercolor paint (Dr. Ph Martin’s Radiant Liquid Watercolor) using a Pentel Aqua Brush. I started off by dropping in bits/dots of Alpine Rose to one half of the panel. Then I took a second, clean waterbrush to loosely blend the color out.
Photo taken against our White Paint Backdrop Board, 16in x 16in
Once I was satisfied with the amount of blending, I continued to add a wash of clean water to the unpainted portion of my panel. Then I repeated the process to add color to the other half of the panel. Once I finished adding my Alpine Rose hue, I added additional dots of Persimmon color to create two tone peonies. I blended this color out in the same manner as the Rose. I made sure to confine most of the warm colors to the peony areas of my stamped panel however, this project consisted of loose watercoloring so I did not take much care to stay within the lines!
Next, I applied Sap Green and Juniper Green in the same manner to the leaves of my panel. *All watercolors are from Set A of the Radiant Collection.
Once I finished painting, I used my heat gun to dry the panel. Then I die cut the panel using the largest dies from our Double Stitched Rectangle Dies (large) collection to add stitching to the edges of my panel. Next, I white heat embossed our sentiment onto black cardstock. After I cut the sentiment into a strip, I created a corresponding Ribbed Soft Gold Glitter Adhesive Paper strip that I used behind my original sentiment strip. Then I stamped my chickadees onto some more watercolor paper, painted them and then die cut them using coordinating dies. I adhered everything onto a top folding A2 base. Lastly, I used our Medallion Gold sequins to brighten up the card even more.

Here is my project!
For my card, I chose the beautiful and subtle color palette created by Lea for my Anemone Border watercolored card.
Be sure to follow us on YouTube for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
I started off by gold heat embossing my Anemone Border image onto watercolor paper (Canson XL 140lb). Then I added my subtle bits of watercolor using a wet on wet technique. I used the same hues in the mood board (gray, mint and yellow).
Next, I watercolored a separate piece of watercolor paper with the same warm yellow tone used on my floral panel. I die cut my amazing word plate sentiment right onto the watercolored pattern and then popped up the individual letters with foam tape. I additional die cut the you from mint cardstock and adhered that directly onto my floral panel. Lastly, added our Clear Rhinestones to embellish my project.
I hope you enjoyed my project! Your next stop is Waffleflower!
