Today’s card uses the same Designer Series Paper that I shared with you in yesterday’s tutorial, the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163469). This pack of paper with it’s bright colors is perfect for big blocks of color like this card uses. I’ve also used the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (retiring 161750). After all who doesn’t like a bit of shimmer and shine that this paper and the Adhesive Backed Shinny Sequins (Online Exclusive 133782) give this card.

So without further ado here is the video tutorial for you along with my PDF that you can print and has all the information to create this card.

Today’s card is bright and cheerful and it’s a great one for beginner stampers since the Artistically Inked stamp set (Retiring 154542) is a two step stamp set that has wiggle room when lining up the images since it is designed not to match up perfectly.

I’ve love the colors I used for this card and the way it turned out.

Today’s card uses one of my favorite sets, as it holds a special meaning for myself and my son.

When my son Johnathan was a toddler he was fascinated by all the heavy equipment that we would pass by as we went places, so I learned all the names and the differences as he grew up. Let me tell you it wasn’t easy keeping up with him as he knew them all. LOL.

So today I’m going to share another card with you that I created using this Construction Zone stamp set (161582) and our Regals Collection Designer Series Paper (retiring 161642).

I’ve shared several tutorials over the months with you since I really enjoy this little set. I really hate to see it retire as it is always harder to find masculine sets for out little builders.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you

along with my PDF that includes a complete supply list and measurements so you can create this card too!

Sea Turtle Card Tutorial

It’s another full week of video tutorials! And since spring is in the air and that means spring break for many of us and warmer weather, which of course makes me think of the pool or ocean time I hope to get. On one of our last family vacation we continued to hunt for sea turtles that were suppose to dot the beach. Turtles of all kinds have been a favorite of mine since I had that small palm tree in my pets plastic dish. Remember those? Or am I dating myself? Any how when I saw the Sea Turtle stamp set it made me think of those trips looking for sea turtles and the excitement of when we found them.

So today I’m going to share a card using the Sea Turtles stamp set (160500) with you and another sketch. This sketch happens to be a favorite of mine that I’ve used over and over again. Not only do I have a sketch to share with you but I also have a video and PDF tutorial for you too. So why not take a look?

Cute, right?

Today’s sketch is #8 of my sketches and if you’d like to make one too you so you have this handy tool to design with you can check out the PDF below.

Sketch #8 PDF

Here is my video tutorial for you and my PDF with the complete supply list along with measurements and You Tube link. Print it out and you’ll have everything in one place to create when you’re ready.

Today I’m going to share with you how to make 3 cards from one sheet of 6×6 Designer Series Paper – Or a what’s called a One Sheet Wonder. I love these kinds of projects that make cards so easy and monochromatic cards are great for building your stamping collection.

This is also a great way to make multiple cards quickly using the Designer Series Paper you love – and since they all coordinate it’s a great gift for someone too! Simply place them in a fun box or wrap them up in a bit of ribbon. Voila!

The Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (retiring 161172) is retiring soon so whether you get the stamps, paper, or the entire suite you’ll want to be sure to get these products before they are gone!

These cards are made with my One Sheet Wonder Template #3. Here is a quick video tutorial on how to cut the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) for the cards to get you started.

And of course, videos for each card with a PDF so you can make them too –
