Karen @cardsbykaren created these 3 different cards using stencils, stamps and ink blending. The first card features Taylored Expressions’ “Gifted” stencil with the “Gifted Background” stamp and an assortment of colourful Distress Inks. The sentiment was stamped and die cut from Waffle Flower’s “Happy Birthday” combo set. The second card uses TE’s square “Masking Stencils” to create the background. The ice-cream and sentiment were stamped from the “Birthday Scoops” set by Concord & 9th. The third card combines the “Gifted Background” stamp, ink-blending with the square masking stencil, and a shaker element. Simon Hurley’s Lunar Paste was applied with...
The Simon Hurley create. Lunar Paste is a creamy and colorful paste with a metallic shine. In this miniseries, I will be sharing different ways you can use the product.To get started I took a pallet knife and spread the paste onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock.

Hello crafty friends, Today’s share has a lot of stamping using just one stamp set. The SK Brush Strokes stamp set is very versatile and it’s a great basic stamp set. I started by stamping the brush strokes on a cream background and I used second generation stamping to get a lighter version of each of […]
Hello crafty friends, Sometimes I’m a bit behind on trying out new trends and that was true for the all of those sequins out there. I jumped in and I bought a few bags of Studio Katia sequins several weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying using them as embellishments and in some shaker cards. I […]
