Hello – Gleaming Poppies

Hello, fellow crafters!! Happy Friday!!

I am LOVING all the new stencils!! There is something so relaxing about blending ink onto paper using stencils!! Plus, the results are always AMAZING!! My card today features the Gleaming Poppies Layering Stencil Set.

I began by blending Peach Blossom, Coral Cavern, Spiced Chai, Soft Garden, Spring Salad and Noir inks onto white cardstock using the Gleaming Poppies Layering Stencils. I colored the centers of the poppies with green colored pencils and used the Coordinating Die to cut it out.

I trimmed the panel to A2 size and backed it with black cardstock, then adhered it to a white, top-folding card base. I also die-cut the Double Pierced Rectangle A2 Coverplate Die from black cardstock and adhered the largest one to the front of the card.

The sentiment is from the Ribbons General Stamp Set. It was stamped onto white cardstock with Peach Blossom and Coral Cavern inks, then cut out with its Coordinating Die. It was popped up with foam tape. I sprinkled on some Red Gem Rhinestones to add a little bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Watercoloring using Layering Stencils

Hello, crafty friends! Hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with a Thank you card. It shows one of the beautiful peony clusters from the Blended Peonies Stencils set which I watercolored using the layering stencils!

I used the stencils as my guide for watercoloring. I watercolored the peonies in light pink and orange through the first layer of the stencils, chose darker colors for the next layer and so on. I gave it time to dry between the layers. The two layers of the leaves were also watercolored in the same way in two shades of green. 

After the watercoloring was done and dry I drew the outline of the peony cluster using a 08 black Micron pen and added details to the petals and leaves using a 03 Micron pen. As my watercoloring didn’t stay completely in the opening of the stencils and I drew the outline following my watercolored flowers, I couldn’t use the coordinating die. So I fussy cut the image and set it aside.

As the flowers are in a loose and rough watercolored look, I wanted the same in the background as well.  So I loosely watercolored a A2 sized watercolor paper panel in yellow, green and pink, let it dry and dry embossed the panel using the Convention coverplate die. I adhered it on a white cardbase and splattered black watercolor on it. After the splatters were dry I foam mounted the peony cluster on the card. 

The sentiment from the Easy Expressions Thanks set was stamped in Grape Crush and Noir, cut with the coordinating die and added to the card. 

I scattered some Soft Pink Gem Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

I love how this card turned out! I think the watercolor stenciling gives the image an artistic look! Hope you’ll give it a try!

Have a crafty day!

Happy holidays with roses

Hello, everyone! Anna here with a holiday card I made using flower stencils.

I started by stenciling the Rose Blossoms in traditional Christmas colors. I used Valentine Red and Wine (roses), Moonlight and Meadow (other flowers), Everglade Moss (leaves) and Cherry ink (berries). Then, I cut out the Rose Blossoms print with Rose Blossoms Layering Stencils Coordinating Dies and cut it in the middle.

For the background, I stenciled the Pine needles in Deep Emerald on the A2 sized white panel that was cut out with Double Stitched Rectangle A2 Nested Dies.

Next, I adhered the flower panels on the card and trimmed excess. The sentiment from Styled Christmas Sentiments was heat embossed in Glitter Gold. I added a few Crystal-Clear Rhinestones to embellish my card.

That’s all from me today. Have a great weekend!

Sunflower Fields

Hi peeps. Vera here. Today, I want to showcase the new Sunflower Fields Layering Stencil. Love this fun stencil and I love it even more that I can easily make 2 cards after I completed stenciling this set.

The 2 cards I shared here today are what I consider as quick card as I completed both in 30 minutes. I started by stenciling the card with Soft Garden, Bright Fern, Lemon Drop, Coralline, Spiced Chai & AspenCocoa. Once done, die cut with the Sunflower Fields Coordinating die and trim the sunflower panel in two.

Before adhering the sunflower panel to the card base, I inked up the card base area that’s not covered with some pattern using an old die from The Ton and use it as stencil. Then I adhere the flower panel and finish by adding sentiment from Rose Labels set.

The other sunflower panel went to the card below. Instead of white ink this time I inked up the card base with Honeydew.

I truly am enjoying playing with all the stencils right now. Hoping to get more crafting time in, so I can share more projects with you all. For now, I hope you enjoy today’s cards. Thank you for stopping by here. May your day be a good one. Cheers.

Jumbo Poinsettia

Hello and Happy Friday, everyone! It’s TaeEun here today with a holiday card! Have you seen the new layering stencils from the June 2022 Release? I used the Jumbo Poinsettia and Pine stencils from the June Release for my card. A Christmas card in June!  Why not 🙂 ! 

I stenciled the Jumbo Poinsettia in blue and purple. This set has three layers of stencils. I ink blended the first layer in Soft Amethyst and Cali Blue, the second layer in Iris Blooms and Azurite and the third layer in Grape Crush and Deep Sapphire

The center of the poinsettia was stenciled in Spring Salad and Everglade Moss. I cut the poinsettia using the coordinating die and set it aside.

To create the background I first watercolored a watercolor paper panel in light green and blue and let it dry. After the panel was dry I stenciled the Pine needles in Spring Salad and Everglade Moss on the panel and splattered gold ink on it. 

The background panel was cut with a die from Rectangle A2 Nested die set and foam mounted on a navy cardbase. I then added the poinsettia to it. 

The gold heat embossed sentiment is from the Styled Christmas Sentiments set. I cut it using the coordinating die and added it to the card. 

To add more golden elements I scattered some Bright Gold Opaque Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

That’s it from me for today! Hope you enjoyed looking my card!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Gleaming Poppies card

Hello, everyone! Anna here with a card featuring new Gleaming Poppies Layering Stencils.

I started by stenciling beautiful flowers with Cherry, Grand Fuchsia and Plum Wine ink. The leaves were colored in Raw Sea and Stormy Sea. Then, I fussy cut the floral panel. To make the background, I ink blended Amber Citrine, Peach Blossom and Coral Cavern on A2 sized white cardstock that was cut out with Double Pierced Rectangle A2 Nested Dies.

Next, I cut out a panel using Double Pierced Ornate Nested Dies and colored it in Amber Citrine on the edge. The sentiment from Sweet Bouquet was stamped on that panel in Caviar. I added a few rhinestones from Deep Pink Gem mix and Pink Opaque to embellish my card.

That’s all from me today! Happy Wednesday!

Have A Fabulous Day – Blended Peonies

Happy Friday!! I hope you’ve had a great week!!

I have a card to share with you today featuring the Blended Peonies Stencil Set! This set allows you to stencil four A2 card fronts on an 8.5” x 11” piece of cardstock at one time! However, I used three of them to form a peony border on the front of my card!

I began by stenciling the Blended Peonies Stencil Set onto white cardstock. One good thing about stenciling is that it allows you to blend different colors to obtain different shades that you wouldn’t be able to get with stamping. The stencils are numbered in the order that they should be used. I blended some purples and blues on each layer with blending brushes using the following colors: layer 1: Soft Amethyst & Arctic Sky; layer 2: Iris Blooms & Periwinkle; layer 3: Violet Fringe & Stormy Sea; layer 4: Grape Crush; layer 5: Spring Salad; layer 6: Everglade Moss; peony centers: Lemon Drop. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them all out.

I wanted a little texture on the area of the card that wasn’t covered by my floral border, so I die-cut one of the layers in the Diamond Plaid Layering Coverplate Die Set from white cardstock and adhered it to the front of a white top-folding card base. (I actually ended up covering most of this, but it does add a bit of interest to the center of the card.) I arranged and adhered the floral die cuts around the perimeter of the card and trimmed off the excess.

The sentiment is from the Easy Expressions Birthday Stamp Set. It was stamped with Violet Fringe and Noir inks, then cut out with the Coordinating Die. It was popped up in the center of the card with foam tape. Dark Purple Opaque Rhinestones were the perfect finishing touch!!

I really love how these beautiful blooms fill up the front of this card! It can be used for so many occasions!!

Thank you for stopping by today!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Slimline card with Lush Peonies

Hello, everyone! Anna here with a slimline floral card I made using Lush Peonies Layering Stencils.

I started by blending Soft Orchid, Soft Amethyst and Iris Blooms inks onto the flower portions of the Lush Peonies Layering Stencil Set on white cardstock. The leaves were colored in Soft Garden and Honey Dew. I die-cut the panel with the Lush Peonies Coordinating Die. Next, I divided it into several parts for easy layering all images on the slimline card.

For the background, I ink blended Beach Blondie and Amber Citrine on the slimline white cardstock that was cut out with SLIMLINE – Simple Nested Dies. I then used SLIMLINE – Diagonal Stripes Coverplate Die to make the background panel.

For the sentiment, I cut out “Thanks” from the white cardstock that was colored using Amber Citrine and Peach Blossom inks and ordinary white cardstock with Script Word Dies Bundle. Lastly, I added a few rhinestones from Gold Rainbow Opaque mix to embellish the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sending Peony Love

Hi peeps. Vera here. This week been a rough one for so many people and I keep reminding myself that we all need love in this world. And we can all start with the people around us. I feel like mailing an actual card, letter is a dying art. We really need to do it more. Sending out card just because, on our loved ones special day, on any day because more than ever we need to spread love. Show love. Share love.


For my card here, I used Peony Memories Cardmaking set. I stamped this beautiful set with Bubblegum, Soft Garnet, Deep Peony, Lemon Drop, Soft Garden, Meadow and Deep Emerald ink pad. Finished stamping, I die-cut them with the Coordinating Peony Memories Cardmaking dies. For the background, I stamped the flower from Bonny Blooms set with Bubblegum inkpad. Trim the panel and layered with gray cardstock before adhering them to the orange card base. Then arrange the peonies on the card and adhere with foam adhesive. Finished by stamping the sentiment and adhering some sequins.

I am definitely planning on getting my stash of cards out. I’ve been giving cards away to people at my church small group & will definitely keep spreading more love through my cards. May your weekend be a good one. Let us always be kind to one another. Cheers…
