I love this Coneflower from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. It is so easy to create beautiful and simple cards!
Simple ink blending, then Heat embossing with black embossing powder. Make sure to let your blended distress oxides dry really well before you heat emboss. Here is how the card started, mostly ink splotches….
Supplies:
What are Cut and Emboss folders? They are 5×7 embossing folders with etched dies embedded inside to cut and emboss in one pass.
This card uses the Kyoto Cut and Emboss Folder:
These are perfect for a simple and Elegant card in no time! Here is the Sedona Cut and Emboss folder.
Since they are a little thicker than a standard embossing folder they run through your die cutting machine a little differently. The sandwich to use with the Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting Machine from bottom to top: Platform Plate, Cut and Emboss Folder with cardstock inside and one Cutting Plate.
Check out the video:
If you are looking to add some fun to your embossing folder collection these are an excellent choice! There are more Cut and Emboss folders to see. You can check them out by clicking HERE.

Welcome to the Crafty Friends blog hop. Today we are sharing some fabulous Gina K Designs products and there is a shopping coupon code below!
Have you heard of the Gina K wreath builder? Do you have it? You probably will want it soon, it’s SO MUCH FUN and the end results are gorgeous!
I have the original wreath bundle, but there are lots of options to choose from. You definitely need a stamp position tool like a Misti for this. I started by stamping all the wreaths in a bunch of different colors. It takes only little bit of practice to get the hang of the tool and its super easy! But it is a lot of stamping! A lot.
Use ink cubes if you have them so there is less ink all over the Misti cover.
The wreath design creates a square image based on the directions. I like A2 cards so I created most of my wreaths on a 5.5 x 5.5 square cardstock so I could trim it down in different sizes and positions on the cards. Bonus: there is a mega wreath builder to accomodate more sizes!
Patience. Patience. and more Patience. I had to stamp most of my images twice and it took a few times to get the center circle the right size for the sentiments in the set. No worries, I have lots of sentiments. And in cardmaking there are no mistakes, just creative opportunities!
Don’t forget Nuvo Drops and embellishments! I added lots and lots of Nuvo drops to these cards. And rhinestones too. shhhhh, some hide mistakes!

Sharing the Floral Cluster from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store today. I needed a few quick birthday cards and did not have time to sit down and color them. Guess What? The Floral Cluster looks great in black and white!
I paired the floral image with a simple birthday “Celebrate” from the All Occasion Sentiment Set 2 .
The background is Craft Consortium Watercolors paper pad in 6×6. Such a fun way to get watercolor- without having to water color.
Each square of the patterned watercolor paper is cut to 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 and then I layered accordingly with black and/or white cardstock.
Add some simple matching enamel dots and done!

Not going to lie, I took one look at this glimmer kit and thought… what the what? What are these abstract circle things? They are super fun!

This month’s Fun Stampers Journey “Spring in the Desert” Stamp of the month creates adorable designs for cards, scrapbook pages, and more.
It is so rainy and dreary here in PA, so I decided to make a POP of yellow card!
I simply stamped the flower all over the white cardstock and colored with these copics: C!, C0, Y13, Y15 and Y19. The sentiment is heat embossed on black cardstock, using white embossing powder.
The Fun Stampers Journey (FSJ) Stamp of the Month sets are made in the USA of high quality deeply etched red rubber with cling mount. I LOVE THEM!!! They create the best impression, giving you a perfect stamped image every time.

Both cards are made with the cute unicorn doe that comes in the kit.
