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


Hi, everyone! Samantha Mann and I are back with new videos for Two Many CardsIf 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!).

Evelin T Designs | June 2020 Release | Day 2


Welcome to the Evelin T Designs June 2020 Release! Evelin has outdone herself and illustrated EIGHT new stamp sets and I can't wait to share them with you. This week, two stamp sets will be revealed each day and the design team has been busy creating loads of inspiration to share with you. Be sure to stop by the Evelin T Designs blog each day and leave comments for your chance to win one of TWO $15 gift certificates!


Today's card features Positive-Tea. I'm a coffee and tea lover and I go crazy for any kind of coffee or tea stamp set so this was made for me! It's jam-packed with so many beautiful images, the possibilities are endless.


I did a lot of masking for this card and I heat embossed the images, too, so it took a long time to make! It was so much fun to watercolour all of the details with distress inks. After all the colouring was done, I ink blended a 'table' and added some colour to anchor the images and create a simple background.


I love all of the unique, encouraging sentiments in this set which make them perfect for cards that will brighten anyone's day.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to see you again tomorrow!

I have TWO short videos to share with you today, one featuring each of today's stamp sets! This second card features Floral Surprise. Isn't this large image stunning? At first glance, you may not notice the hidden kitty fairy and puppy fairy. They're the 'surprise' in these florals and I love them!


I heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder, then watercoloured the image with distress inks. This stamp set has so many possibilities and I'll share more ideas soon. The sentiments work for several occasions, too.
