Below are a few of the cards that I designed using the Winter Botanicals Stamp & Matching Dies, Season Greetings Silhouette and the Magic Sentiment Word Dies and the wonderful Castle Scene Builder Die set. 

Magical Holiday Wishes

This card uses the Castle Scene Builder Die Set and Magical Sentiment and Matching Die. The extra sparkles are from the *Magical* Lumos Glitter Confetti pack. I love how the light changes the Lumos Glitter Confetti from silver to blue! For the ink blending behind the magical castle, I used both VersaFine Clair Ink and Distress Oxide Ink...I really like how both of these two inks blended together and the vibrant colors it created. Trinity Stamps is now stocking the latest two Distress Oxide ink colors at a great price! 

Holiday Bows and Boughs

This card uses the trees from the Castle Scene Builder Die Set along with Winter Botanicals Stamps and dies. The little bow is just the sweetest thing ever! All of the stamped images were inked with VersaFine Clair Inks (Green Oasis, Glamorous and Nocturne) which you can grab in the store! The sentiment is from Season Greeting Silhouette. You must check out the other Design Team Blog Hop posts---they have AMAZING examples of how to use this set with beautiful blended and watercolor backgrounds!

Little Red Trees on the Hilltop

This card uses the Trees & Hill dies from the Castle Scene Builder set. I die cut the trees in red glitter paper and the hills were created by adjusting the hill die at different points on white card stock to give the hills some added movement and there's that amazing sentiment again from Season Greetings Silhouette set--I was really impressed with how well it worked with embossing powder and heat setting! See those embellishments in the photo background? Those beauties are from the Tree Trimmings Speciality Shaker Embellishment Mix...I love the glitter on these sequins *swoon*. 

Here's a little close-up of all the little elements. The Castle Scene Builder is such a versatile set and can be used all year round.

The Magical Wizards Stamp set was a big hit with the kiddo this release. Here are her words about the cards she made (a card making blogger in the making).

Ellen Hutson New Release | It's a Winter Wonderland!

It's time for new stamps & dies from the amazing Juile Ebersole for Ellen Hutson! This release is full of winter fun. It has me looking forward to the first sweater weather snowfall when snowman come to life and we take a mitten & warm cocoa walk in the frosty and sparkly winter air.

Here's a link to a quick look at the entire new release! As an extra bonus you can buy the products separately or they have several different bundles at a discount!

Essentials by Ellen November 2018 Complete Release 

I'll be posting all week a few cards that I created with the new release stencil dies and Snow Days stamp set. I was able to get a jump start on a few holiday cards and I can't wait to share them with you! 

Mermaid Holiday Wishes---Ornament Cards

When I first saw the Alpine Snowfall die, I could not get the idea of sea bubbles. I knew I needed to pair it with a mermaid tail. Then I realized I could make an ornament from all the different pieces from Alpine Window and them Mermaid Ornament Card moment was realized. Who can't help but fall in love with a magical Christmas Mermaid and mistletoe! 

Here are a few Fin-tastic tidbits about this card:

• The card front holds the Mermaid Ornament in place! 
• With a quick circle cut on the red card panel (using the Alpine Window large circle die) and some thick foam adhesive to the white card base, the ornament can *sit* right in the card. 
• It includes lots of glitter: Glitter Paper & Embossing powder
• The little mistletoe is from the recently released Leading Ladies ugly sweater set and die.
• The Mermaid Tail! was created using the Inner Mermaid Stamp and Matching Die.  
• To create the waves, I trimmed away the house and trees from the Alpine snow die cuts.
• To create the ornament I secured (with tape) red baker's twine to the back of the Alpine snow die cut and then glued a 3 inch red circle to the back to hide the string.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!

Coffee with Character: One Stamp, Three Ways | Trinity Stamps!

Hello, Friends! Welcome to this week's One Stamp, Three Ways weekly design post for Trinity Stamps. This week I am sharing three different designs using the Coffee with Character Stamp and Matching Dies. I also used the Caffeinated Sentiments to add a little pun fun to each of the cards.

All three designs use the same pattern but in three unique ways. There are so many fun stamp images in this set that it was hard to pick just one so I picked several to create a fun pattern and extra elements for each of the cards. 

I did a bit of Copic coloring on each of the cards. The colors I selected this week include: BG15, BG32, BG34, BV000, BV00, B00, E30, E31, E33 (Donuts), E70, E25, E37, (Coffee Beans and Coffee), R02, RV13, RV55, V04. 

Grab your favorite cup of coffee, tea or cocoa and enjoy three fun designs with the Coffee with Character Stamp Set.

Frappy Birthday to You

Sending a Little Hug in a Mug

Latte Thanks

I had a blast creating these cards! They all look so yummy with the donuts and coffee beans. If you love the images as much as I do, head on over to Trinity Stamps. Did you know Trinity Stamps sells the Coffee themed stamps and dies in Bundles!

Well there you have it friends, three cards with one stamp set and die (with a little help from a coordinating sentiment set). For more details on how these designs came together, come join me over on the Trinity Stamps Blog.

Bouquet of Hope: One Stamp, Three Ways | Trinity Stamps!

Hello Friends and welcome back to this week’s One Stamp Three Ways Series with Trinity Stamps! I’m so happy you are here and hope to see you over at the Trinity Stamps Blog where I also post on Mondays. This week I selected the Bouquet of Hope Set & Matching Dies as my weekly inspiration. This set has an amazing focal image and the sweetest sentiments. I have three cards to share with you all inspired by Rainbows, Polka Dots and Fresh Picked Flowers. For quick reference, here are the Copic Colors I used for all the projects this week: RV06, R27, YR02, YR04, YR04, Y13, Y08, YG06, BG13, BG01, BG15, BG32, V12, V15.

For the first card, I focused on the girl holding the bouquet. When I first saw this image all I could think of was a bouquet of rainbow flowers and a polka dot skirt. Here’s how the card came together:

1. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black & colored the flowers with Copics. To create the rainbow effect, I started with one color and colored about six different flowers around the bouquet and then the middle. I followed that same pattern with all colors until the bouquet was filled with color.
2. Nuvo Simply White Crystal drops where added to the flower center for extra pop.  
3. For the Polka Dot Skirt I did some paper piecing. I stamped the image on a piece of patterned paper, cut the image and then glued it over the skirt. You could do so many fun things with paper piecing and this skirt (like tulle underneath or a coordinating washi belt or bow. But I kept it simple for this card.
4. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a strip of black card stock and used some foam adhesive to add some dimension. 

For the second card, my inspiration was the sentiment “If friends were flowers, I’d pick you”. I wanted to create bundles of freshly picked flowers. I die cut the flower bunches, stamped the images and then colored the flowers with Copics. I then wrapped twine around the stems to create a flower bouquet from the images. Then I assembled the bunches of flowers into a rainbow pattern, adhered them to the card with dimensional foam squares and added the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Ink. 

For the last card, I wanted to create an organic floral wreath with the little flower images in the set. Here’s how it all came together. 

1. To create the wreath: I die cut a circle as a template and because I wanted an organic look I used a Zig brush marker to trace/draw three intertwined circles. 
2. For the flowers, I die cut and then colored the images with Copics. I then assembled the flowers around the wreath with foam tape and glue. Then I adhered rainbow jewels in the empty spaces between the flowers. 
3. For the sentiment, I stamped the words on a strip of white card stock. Cut a banner edge and then added some washi to the bottom of the banner. I adhered the banner and then added and adjusted the flowers around it. 
4. When everything was in place, I added Simply White Nuvo Drops to the center of the flowers.
5. With a little striped pattern paper in the background, I layered all the pieces together on the black card base. 

And there you have it, friends! Three ways to use the beautiful Bouquet of Hope Stamp Set and Matching Dies from Trinity Stamps. Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
