New and Must Have Craft Supplies for Cardmakers | New Distress Color Saltwater Taffy and More!


It is my favorite time of the month! Time for a New and Must Have Crafty Supplies video.


In these videos, I peruse the new products section of Simon Says Stamp, but the things that strike my fancy and then share them with you all, so you can see them and decide if they are something you'd like to add to YOUR stash!

This month, I am sharing the new Distress color, Saltwater Taffy. I bought the new color in a Distress Oxide Ink (I also buy the refill for that), Distress Paint and Distress Oxide Spray. I am in love with this new color and how beautifully it pairs with Spun Sugar and Abandoned Coral.


I also bought the new Memory Box Vintage Pastel Mirror pad. This 6x6 pad contains heavy weight cardstock mirror or metallix pieces in shades from pearlescent pastels to beautiful metallic tones.


Speaking of 6x6 pads, I also bought the new Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham Pad. I've never met a Lawn Fawn patterned paper pad I didn't like, plus it is a rainbow of gorgeous ginghams!


Speaking of rainbows, the new My Favorite Things Hip Hip Yay pad has them in spades! It is meant to be a birthday pad, but there are plenty of versatile rainbow sheets as well!


Next up, I grabbed the Lawn Fawn Clear and Sparkle Glaze Pens. Love that they come in a pen format for easy dots, lines and covering stamped images.


Also from Lawn Fawn is the How You Bean? Strawberry Add On stamp set and dies. So cute!


I love "hugs" dies for cardmaking and this font is unlike any I've seen so I was happy to add the Freestyle Hugs die from Poppy Stamps to my collection!


When I saw the Lucy's Little Things My Love Mix I knew I had to have it because it seemed to coordinate perfectly with SaltWater Taffy! Love the mix of sequins, pearls and stars!


Last but not least, I grabbed the Studio Katia Crystal Hearts. These are stunning and I had nothing like them in my extensive shaker goodies/embellishment collection!


Of course I created a few cards using the new supplies! Did I mention I love ink blending with Saltwater TaffyDistress Oxide Ink?


But the combination of Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy in Distress Oxide Spray is equally amazing! And check out the pearlescent Memory Box Mirror cardstock in the shadow of the hugs die and how it looks with the blue gingham!!


If the strawberries here look dimensional and shiny, it's because of the Lawn Fawn Clear Glaze!


The My Favorite Things patterned papers layer so nicely together!

2018 Top Ten YouTube Hop + YouTube Giveaway!!

Hi everyone! I am super excited to be a part of the 2018 Top Ten YouTube Hop where a bunch of crafters got together to share their favorite projects from 2018! I have a giveaway on YouTube so be sure to check out my video here:


But, I wanted to share my projects here too because YouTube will only allow you to link to 5 videos inside a video so I thought I would share the underlying technique and product videos here:
Check out the Queen and Co Pom Poms and this rainbow card here:


 Check out two fun ways to use Nested Dies and create cards with cardstock only here:



 Sadly the Queen and Co Love Jar kit that I used for this card is no longer available. Queen and Co kits sell out fast, so if there is something that you love there, snap it up quickly!

These cards were made for a Stash Bash hop, which is a monthly hop where a bunch of crafters try and use up a stash of a particular type of product. 

 This month was colored cardstock and I came up with 5 ways to use colored cardstock on cards. Check out the video here:

 This layout was made for my friend Christine Meyer's Stealing Saturday series. Check out my video here:

 I don't have a video for the card above but it was made with Waffle Flower's Sweater Weather Stamp Set and Matching Dies. But....I can share that I am working with Waffle Flower now and Waffle Flower has a ton of exciting news for 2019. Stay tuned to my YouTube Channel for more information!
Another scrappy friend of mine, Audrey Yeager hosted a fun Summer Scrappin YouTube series and here is my video for that:

And last, but not least, I do a ton of videos over at the Therm O Web YouTube Channel. I can't share them on my YouTube Channel though and I often don't have time to do new ones for my own channel. One of my favorite products of theirs is the Gina K for Therm O Web StampNFoil Line.

I created this video for the Winter 2018 line:
this one for the Fall 2018 release:

and a how to create multi color stamping with the this StampNFoil collection:


So that's it! If you want to see my Top Ten favs from 2018, start with the video at the top and be sure to enter my giveaway. There are a bunch of other crafters involved in the hop and I've listed all their videos in my YouTube description. If you want to dive into the techniques and products used to make my top 10, be sure to check out all the videos above!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Distress Oxide Texture Backgrounds

This week, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge  is to use texture and Tim Holtz products. I had some Tim Holtz Texture Fades that were perfect for creating tons of texture.
Of course I HAD to add Distress Oxides over the top too!
I love the way the Distress Oxides look on top of the embossed panels.
There is so much going on between the texture and colors that I left the rest of the cards simple. I added some die cut sentiments and a few Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops and called it a day!
Check out this video to see how easy it is to add Distress Oxide ink over embossed backgrounds for a full texture effect!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Snow Day Card with Poppystamps

Anyone else been feeling like the victim of the holiday steam roller? So much to do and not enough time, amiright? Well, I have a sweet happy snow day card that reminds me to just sit and look out the window or enjoy a few moments of quiet. Of course we don't have snow here. As a matter of fact we put our AC on today. :( But at night it gets chilly enough to sit under a blanket and look at the stars and pretend they are snowflakes lol!
I used a bunch of new Poppystamps dies from their winter release. All the products will be linked down below if you are interested.
I have a video showing how I created this little snowy window scene and you can check it out here:


Have a happy day, whether it is snowy or not! And thanks for stopping by!

Poppystamps and Buttons Galore Blog Hop -- Prizes to Win!


Welcome to the Poppystamps and Buttons Galore blog hop! There are tons of prizes to be had, so stick around to find out how to win!   If you came here from Robin Tharaldson's blog you are in the right place! If you just happened here and you want to participate in the hop, be sure to start at the Poppystamps blog!

I had so much fun combining Poppystamps stamps and dies and Buttons Galore embellishments. First, I created a fall shaker card.

I used Poppystamps Brilliant Leaf Frame and Stitched Oak Tree Leaf dies. I also used the Magic and Sparkle stamp and die set and filled my shaker window with embellishments from the Buttons Galore Autumn Afternoon Embellishment kit.

I love shaker cards but sometimes I get frustrated that all the shaker goodies fall to the bottom of the window except when you are actively shaking the card. So I decided to find a way to make a faux shaker card where the shaker goodies stay in place.

I used the brand NEW Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Poppystamps design for Stamptember Magical Wishes. This is a limited edition stamp set so once it sells out, it will be gone for good! So be sure to grab yours as soon as possible. I will have it and all the other products I used down below. I added the Buttons Galore Sequin Tin called Festival of Lights to create the faux shaker look.

Want to see how I got those sequins and shaker goodies to quickly and easily stay put? Check out my video:
