Creating Me

Hi friends,

I recently found this stamp company called Creative Worship Stamps and they have some beautiful clear stamps with lovely sentiments.

This set is called Beautiful Bouquets. It includes 5 different bouquets and 8 sentiments. I stamped the tea pot with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Markers.

Using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set, I die cut around the image and layered it to purple card stock. I die cut a piece of light turquoise patterned paper with the same die set and attached it to a white card. Then I attached the stamped image over the top.

I stamped the sentiment with red ink on white card stock and die cut around it with these Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. It’s attached to the card using foam tape.

A simple way to let someone know that they are on your mind.♥️

Hi friends,

Masculine cards can be challenging! This card is a fun and simple way to send birthday wishes for guys of all ages.

I die cut a piece of patterned paper using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies and attached it to a white card. I die cut “happy” and the background from the Heart of Autumn die set, layered them together, and attached it to the card using foam tape. I die cut “birthday” and the background from the Say It Big die set, layered them together, and attached them to the card using foam tape. Unfortunately, this die set seems to be no longer available. 😦 But the stamp set called Say It Big has a big “birthday” stamp that you can stamp and trim around for the same effect.

To finish the card and make it a bit more festive, I scattered a few red sequins on the card.

This card can be made in any color combo using die cuts or any larger simple word stamps that you have in your collection. You could even use larger simple birthday image stamps in place of the word stamps.

Hi friends,

I thought I would share some of my favorite paper crafting supplies that are always in my craft room. These are the things I reach for over and over when I am creating. 🙂

My favorite adhesive for card stock and papers is Tombow Mono Adhesive Dots. It’s a permanent adhesive that’s super easy to apply. You can get refills, too.

To add gems, sequins, and other embellishments I love this Art Institute Glitter Adhesive. It works great for adding just a little drop to adhere your embellishment.

My paper trimmer is a Fiskars SureCut Paper Trimmer. It works great and you can get replacement blades here. It is also portable so it’s easy to take along with you.

I use detail scissors a lot in my crafting. I’ve had these Cutter Bee Scissors for a long time and they are still as sharp as ever!

This magnetic glass mat is so handy! It’s great for lining up your layers. It’s also easy to clean off inks, adhesives, and watercolors when you are done creating.

Another tool I use all the time is my Misti Stamping Tool. It is so helpful for stamping an image more than once to get a good crisp image.

Basic white card stock is a must! I like this Neenah 110lb Bright White Card Stock for an affordable option while card making.

My favorite basic black ink is Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. It’s a permanent dye ink that works great with alcohol markers. I have a whole collection of Copic markers that I love coloring with.

I always have foam tape on hand to add a little dimension to my cards.

I also have a large 😳 collection of 6×6 patterned papers. Lately, my favorite patterned papers are from Unity Stamp Company.

These are just a few of my favorite things. My craft room is also filled with rubber stamps, ribbons, buttons, gems, sequins, colored pencils, stencils, embossing folders, and lots of other things I’ve collected over the years. 😊

What supplies are your favorites that you simply can’t create without?

Hi friends,

So many little boys love dinosaurs! 🦖This stamp set called Galactic Dino Party from Unity Stamp Company is so fun for creating birthday cards for boys of all ages.💚💙💛

I stamped the dinosaur images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock and colored them with Copic Markers. Then using my Cutter Bee detail scissors, I trimmed around each image.

I used a cloud stencil with light blue ink and a blender brush to create a background on white card stock. I used these Zig-Zag Rectangles Nesting Dies to die cut the piece and then attached it to a white card.

I stamped the sentiment (from the set called Teddy, With Love) with blue ink on white card stock and die cut around it with a cloud die. I attached the cloud and 3 dinosaurs to the card using foam tape.

This is a cute way to send big Dino Wishes for a happy birthday!🦖💚💙💛
