Let Hope Anchor Your Soul feat. Gina K. Designs

I had the pleasure of playing with one of the stamp sets from new release at Gina K. Designs. You Anchor Me (also available at EH | SSS) was designed by Lisa Hetrick and it's beautiful and so versatile. I love the big anchor and encouragement sentiments.

I love that the anchor is big enough to be the focal point on an A2-sized card. I wanted the anchor to look realistic so I stamped it with grey pigment ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. Visit my corresponding Instagram post to see the shine in action!

I stamped multiple images with various shades of Altenew ink (see below for all six colours), used the backside of the stamps to 'colour' the leaves and top layer of the main flower, then fussy cut the images to create a dimensional cluster. Once I determined the layout of the flowers and foliage I added the 'berries' to the background, using the rock-and-roll technique and two shades of green ink.

Before adhering the cluster to the card base, I again used the rock-and-roll technique and two shades of pink and two shades of green to stamp the sentiment. Once that was done, I adhered the cluster with glue dots and rounded the bottom right hand corner of the card with a corner chomper. To finish, I added a large sequin and clear drop in the centre of the main flower.

Happy You Day feat. Club Sursee | Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello! Just popping in to share a quick card using some products from the August 2019 Club Sursee collection. Most of you know that my son loves cacti, since his Minecraft persona is a Creeper. When we text, we use the cactus emoji instead of his name. I know, it's a little funny but it's also adorable, right? Every time I see a cute cactus stamp, I think of him. Naturally, I made this card with him in mind!

The August 2019 Club Sursee collection came with this amazing stamp set called Got You Covered, which includes adorable succulents and a terrarium. I love that it's a builder set so you can use multiple colours to customize each plant! It can be as colourful or as monotonous as you like. I used seven Catherine Pooler ink colours, including Party Dress, Shea Butter, Garden Party, Eucalyptus, Mint To Be, All That Jazz and Daydream. You can find multiple store links below.

The sentiment is from the other stamp set in the collection called Love Grows Here. It's another stunning set with flowers and foliage but the sentiment fit perfectly between the handle of the terrarium and the large cactus. The glass stones are second-generation stamped and I added sparkle to the outline of the terrarium using a crystal clear sparkle pen.

Two Many Cards Video Series feat. Evelin T Designs + 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 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?
