Two Many Cards Video Series feat. LDRS Creative + Giveaway!

Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many Cards. If you're new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we're sharing our own unique take on the same products. 

Today, we're so excited to be featuring several adorable and sweet products from LDRS Creative. We're featuring the A Day in the Park stamp set and coordinating dies, the Boardwalk Mice stamp set and coordinating dies, Landscape stamps and die, the Miss You Die and the Rainy Day Stencil.

I made two cards, one featuring each of the two stamp sets and coordinating dies. All of the images and sentiments were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and heat embossed with ultra fine clear embossing powder.

My first card features the A Day in the Park stamp set and coordinating dies, Landscape stamps and die and the Rainy Day Stencil. I just love those rolling hills in the background and the details added by the stitching on the Landscape die. I coloured the bike tires in two colours to match a fun cruiser I saw with those exact colours.

My second card features the Boardwalk Mice stamp set and coordinating dies. I used ink blending brushes and masking paper to create the ground and sun rays.

All of the images were popped up with foam tape and I embellished the card with vintage shimmer pearls which add so much shine to the card. It's quite a magical scene with the daredevil mice, rainbow cityscape, sun rays and pearl accents!

If you're not familiar with LDRS Creative, I hope you'll check them out! Please let them know that Sam and I have sent you to their store to check out all their fabulous products.

Two Many Cards Video Series feat. Trinity Stamps + Giveaway!

Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many Cards. If you're new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we're sharing our own unique take on the same products. 

Today, we're so excited to be featuring several incredible products from Trinity Stamps. This is my first time using Trinity Stamps and making slimline cards featuring the Slimline Card Series: Scalloped Card Panels and Borders and Scenic Border Die Set!

All of the adorable and quirky images are from the Let The Good Times Roll stamp set and coordinating dies.

I stamped, heat embossed and watercolored all of the images and sentiments with distress inks. I featured the jackalope character on my first card, which also features the incredible Layered Lakeside Mountain Stencils.

I added Stardust Stickles to the ripples in the water to add to the magical element of the card.

The second card includes a sparkly shaker road element so it was rather complicated to make but you can find all the details in my video.

I coloured the first unicorn in rainbow order and her friend in reverse rainbow order. The shaker element is so fun to play with, especially watching those rhinestones and white heart jelly drops rolling back and forth!

VIDEO | Taylored Expressions | More Sarcasti-Parenting

This post is a follow-up to my original Two Many Cards Video Series featuring Taylored Expressions' Sarcasti-Chick and Sarcasti-Chicklets.

I had stamped, watercolored and die cut so many extra pieces that I was able to create a third card using just those pieces!

I came up with a small-scale slimline layout and wanted to share this with you. This 3.25" x 6.5" card is one of my favourite sizes to create in and Stampin' Up! used to sell envelopes for this popular size long before the current slimline cards became popular.

Here's another look at all three cards using the same sets. As I said in my first video, below, it would be easy to make a different card for each of the sentiments in the Sarcasti-Chick and Sarcasti-Chicklets stamp sets because they're so entertaining!

If you missed my original video and Sam's video featuring the Sarcasti-Chick and Sarcasti-Chicklets bundles from Taylored Expressions, be sure to watch them below!

Two Many Cards Video Series feat. Penguin Palace + Giveaway!

Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many Cards. If you're new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we're sharing our own unique take on the same products. 

Today, we're so excited to be featuring the Rabbit Cafe stamp set and coordinating Rabbit Cafe Penguin Perfect Cuts, as well as the Rain of Hearts and Cyber Wallpaper stencils from Penguin Palace. These products are super cute and they're so easy and fun to create with!

All of the images and sentiments were heat embossed and watercolored with distress inks. As always, I stamped, coloured and cut multiples so I could easily create scenes and fill them in as necessary without having to re-stamp, colour and die cut extras.

For my first card, I used the Rain of Hearts stencil in strips to create a soft of artsy staircase like in many European streets. The girl is heading to meet her bunny friend who's waiting with cupcakes. I just love these adorable images and the punny sentiment!

There's a lot of shimmer on this card, between the heat embossing, the shimmer spritz I used on the stencilling and the strip of gold glitter cardstock.

My second card uses the Cyber Wallpaper stencil in a more traditional way to create cobblestones outside another cafe. This one has an outdoor seating area on both sides of the building. The girl and her bunny friend are leaving to go shopping and they pass the barista who's out serving another customer.

I just love seeing both these cards side-by-side. They're the absolute cutest and my son is trying to steal one of these cards that I planned on giving to a friend. LOL I can't wait to add more Penguin Palace products to my collection!

GIVEAWAY

Penguin Palace is giving away TWO $10 discount coupons and one lucky winner will be chosen randomly from each of our videos. You must be a subscriber to both our channels! Comments will close at 11:59pm EST on June 27, 2020 and the winners will be announced in the YouTube description for today's video before the next video goes live.

Two Many Cards Video Series feat. Taylored Expressions + Giveaway!

Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many Cards. If you're new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we're sharing our own unique take on the same products. 

Today, we're so excited to be featuring the laugh-out-loud Sarcasti-Chick and Sarcasti-Chicklets bundles from Taylored Expressions. These sets are made from beautiful red rubber, a delight to stamp and sure to get your creative juices flowing!

I love it when the stamps do the creating! It was so easy to come up with designs using these chicks and chicklets. I'm a total wino so it was easy to throw in a bottle or two. Wine is a must-have in my house! ;)

The first card is friendship card and I bet the recipient will know right away that this is going to her, even though I don't have short frizzy hair. That's why I have to own the rest of the Sarcasti-Chick collection. I need all the hairstyles and outfits!

This simple interactive card was so much fun to make. I used a rectangle die to partial die cut the closet door. The hilarious sentiment helped me come up with an idea for this card! My sister has three kids, as do quite a few of my friends, so this card is perfect for them. During the pandemic lockdown, how many of you have been hiding in the closet with wine? LOL

I did some ink blending for the backgrounds on both cards and I used distress inks with Taylored Expressions' incredible blender brushes (on sale right now!).

Taylored Expressions is giving away TWO $25 gift certificates and one lucky winner will be chosen randomly from each of our videos. You must be a subscriber to both our channels! Comments will close at 11:59pm EST on June 17, 2020 and the winners will be announced in the YouTube description for today's video before the next video goes live.

Two Many Cards Video Series feat. Spellbinders + Giveaway!

Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many Cards. If you're new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we're sharing our own unique take on the same products. 

Today, we're so excited to be featuring the super adorable Easter-themed Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders Paper Arts. This die set features a total of nine dies and you can make 3D gift baskets, as well as cards, home decor and more!

I used the same colour theme on both my projects.  The white linen cardstock is from Ellen Hutson and all of the coloured cardstock is from Simon Says Stamp. For your shopping convenience, you can find the links in the supply list below.

I created the 3D Easter basket using three of the dies in the Large Die of the Month club kit. I used three more dies to cut the two types of foliage and flowers.

The card was made using two of the three dies for the basket. I used the same three dies for the foliage and flowers, except I didn't turn the greenery in the basket into flowers. Instead, I added the flowers to the bunnies' ears. I used the remaining three dies to create the two bunnies and their ear and tail details.

I used distress ink and a blender brush to do some light sponging on the bunnies and to anchor the basket. The sentiment is from Concord and 9th's Fine Line Florals stamp set (on sale right now!).

Spellbinders is giving away one $25 gift certificate and one lucky winner will be chosen randomly from one of our videos. You must be a subscriber to both our channels! Comments will close at 11:59pm EST on March 22, 2020 and the winners will be announced in the YouTube description for today's video before the next video goes live.

Today, we're so excited to be featuring super adorable and beautifully illustrated stamp sets from Evelin T Designs, including Coffee Loving Critters (also available at EH | SSS) and Reading Buddies (also available at EH | SSS).

I used distress inks to watercolour several images to create one card featuring coffee-loving critters and another card to create book-loving critters. I used two very different layouts but they both share ink blended rainbow backgrounds.

I used two sentiments on each card, using various techniques to incorporate them into my designs. Which card is your favourite?
