Don't Worry Be Hippy Anatomically Adorable

 


Hey there!  It's a new month and Trinity Stamps has a new Anatomically Adorable available.  This one is called Hipster!  Unfortunately, when you get to my age, you start knowing more and more people who have had or need to have a hip replaced.  I thought this would be a fun card to give someone getting ready to get one.  Even the sentiment is perfect for this card.


For this card, I used a stencil to make my flowery background.  I added the little faces to the center of the flowers using the little faces found on the Hipster Stamp Set.  I also used the
Emergency Card Essentials Die Set #2.  I love these sets for when I need to make a quick card.

The inside sentiment is stamped using the Healing Wishes Stamp Set.

Now how easy is this card?!?  Super easy.  

I do receive a small commission from Trinity Stamps at no cost to you when you purchase from the above links.  I am very thankful and grateful for any purchases that help me to continue to create content for this blog.  

I Woof You!


How cute is this little guy with a bone almost as big as he is.  To make this card, I used the Decorative Sentiments Die Set from Emily Moore Designs.  I just love this set, not only is it perfect for cutting out sentiments, it also has some really great shapes that help you to build a card.  

The patterned paper that I used is one of my favorites because is so colorful.  This collection is from Crafty Stamp Co. and was only available in the March 2026 Crafty Crew Kit.   

My little buddy on this card is a stamp set called Puppy Mail from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I colored him with Copic Markers in the following Colors:

  • YR21, YR23, YR24, 
  • R14, R7

For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment that comes with the stamp set.  Simple and sweet!

This would be a great card for just a hello or maybe a Birthday!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

#321Craft Roulette - Emily Moore Designs


Hello friends! I just received the new release by Emily Moore Designs last week and I thought that I would play with some of the new goodies for this week's Craft Roulette Live challenge.  There are so many fun things in this release I was able to use a lot of it for this card.

The parameters:

  • Project: Gate Fold Card
  • Colors: Monet
  • Element: Natural
  • Random: Crinkle Inkle
Creating the gate fold card was easy and I used some wood grained patterned paper to hit that natural element.  The Monet colors I used are Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and Saltwater Taffy - I used these colors to do the Crinkle Inkle on the center circle.  Super simple.

The Emily Moore Design products I used are:
  • Decorative Circle Dies (new)
  • Button Dies (new)
  • From The Crafty Corner Stamp Set (new)
  • Gentle Reminders Stamp Set (new)
  • Hi, Hey, Hello Word Dies - Big and Bold
  • Decorative Sentiment Dies

On the front of the card, I used the hearts from the Crafty Corner Stamp set, with different colored inks to capture a few more Monet colors.  The circle in the center of this card is created with the largest of the circle dies from the new Decorative Circles Die Set.  It's a little large, but I wanted to make sure that my word cut from the Hi, Hey Hello Word Die Set would fit on in in addition to a paper button.  I decided to layer the two different sizes of hearts from the new Button Dies set rather than have them in two different places. I tied them together with a little pearl rayon thread.



For the sentiment on the inside of the card, I used a stamp from the new Gentle Reminders Stamp set on a piece of cardstock cut with the Decorative Sentiments Die Set.

The back of this card brought a smile to my face.  I used the new From The Crafty Corner Stamp Set.  I always worry that the cards I create might wind up in the trash and that thought practically makes me hyperventilate.  

This was such a fun and quick card to make and I am sure that I will be using this design in the future.

Just Keep Swimming Circle Shaped Card


 Hello and Happy Almost Summer!  Since we have Memorial Day behind us, and the first day of Summer is only 20 days away, I wanted to make this fun little gnome card to remind us to "just keep swimming".  

All the products used in this card are by Trinity Stamps.  I love using their Circle Card Die Set because it is a different shape rather than the A-2 size, and it fits perfectly in an A-2 envelope.  Win! Win!

I have a YouTube video up if you like to follow along in the process.  I will link it down below.

The Trinity Stamps supplies for this card are:

I did a little masking for the inside of this card rather than use the Gnomies Under the Sea Coordinating Die Set because I wanted my little shaker pieces to move about freely.  Once I had the image masked where I went back in to color, I used Distress Oxide Inks, in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Prize Ribbon to ink blend on top.

For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from the Summer Gnome Fun Stamp Set.  I stamped that on a circle shaped white cardstock.

If you decide to create a card like mine, I hope that you enjoy making it as much as I did.

If you purchase through the links above, I may earn a small commission from Trinity Stamps at no additional cost to you. Thank you—your support helps me continue creating content for this blog.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing summer.
