This card uses Smoky Slate as a base to stamp this little elephant and these blends to add depth to the image. The large balloon die was used to create the shaker and two smaller balloons have been cut from our 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper (167766). The NEW White Gel Pens (166642) add a bit of highlight to the images. And of course simple stamping and some sponging was used for the background.
This card has lots of texture plus that fun shaker element making it perfect for someone one special!

Two colors pulled from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (166912) pack of paper and then teamed up with a wonderful earthy neutral. A bit of twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) is used to add some texture giving this card a very organic feel, don’t you think?

You’ll love this special Glow of Specialty Harvest Designer Series Paper for just $5 when you order. And of course if you missed a Product of the Month from past months that are still available you can choose from those too.
Want more than one month’s Product of the Month and have a big order? Why not create two different orders and get both? It’s an extra step, but when you place two orders you can use the Rewards on your second order from the first order you placed if you’d like. That makes it a win win situation and doesn’t cost any more in postage either!
And of course our selection of products found in our Last Chance section has been updated too! Get your favorites before they are gone!
I’ve got another fun card using the Sunset Coast Dies (167780) for you today this time using a quick and simple technique.
The torn edge – I love this technique since it always gives you a little different look based on how you tear the card stock. Now, when I was new to stamping this really bothered me as I wanted all my cards to look the same, but once you embrace the inconstancy you’ll find yourself tearing away!
Want to see the card? Here you go
I really like the way it turned out since the torn edge feels very natural to me.
Want to see how I created this card? I’ve got a little video tutorial for you. And of course, a PDF too!
Sound like a fun fold to try? The base for this card is 5 1/2″ x 7 3/4″ and has been scored at 1 3/4″ and 6″ along the long side. The inside panel is your standard 5 1/4″ x 4″ one.
Wow, what a crazy storm last night. The lightning and thunder went on for hours lighting up the sky for miles. We were under a tornado warning here at my house like so many have been lately. While the power companies work to restore the outages I count us among the lucky. Since our internet just came back up I thought I’d share with you a fun card with a little extra ump today.
This set of dies uses a fun Impressions Plate (167767) that really makes the special impressions dies pop! And the pop is built right in to them. When you use them as always the extra detail is subtle, but when you use them with the Impressions Plate, wow! You can sure see the difference.
I love layouts like this – clean and simple and the surprise is all the texture of this little die set. A card sure to please that special birthday boy.
So if you’re looking for something fun to add to your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and Dies this might be just the add on your looking for. Why not stop by my Online store and check it out today?
