Hello everyone! It is time for a new anything goes with dies. And today, I have this CAS Hugs card to share with you all.

I used the Concord & 9th – Layer Love Dies for the background. I cut out a piece of watercolor paper with the stripe heart die and the added it on a purple card base using Dries Clear permanent glue adhesive.

The sentiment is from Divinity Designs – Hugs Stamp/Die Duo. I stamped it under the heart with VersaFine Clair ink pad and Mini MISTI.

I cut out couple dark purple cardstock using the Hugs word die from the same stamp/die duo set. I stacked them together with Dries Clear permanent adhesive glue to create the chipboard look – word sentiment. I added the hugs word sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape.

I cut out several mini flower petals from the Divinity Designs – Roses Dies out of soft pink cardstock. I used my embossing tool to curl the petals and added them on the card with permanent glue adhesive. I added some mini gems on the flowers for extra bling.

I hope you can find time to play along with this challenge. I’d like to see your projects, too. Thank you for stopping by.

Hello everyone… Today, I am joining the Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop. It is an honored to join Lori and friends for this cause.

What is Turner Syndrome?

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born missing her second X Chromosome, leaving her with life long medical issues. It affects 1 in every 2,000 to 2,500 girls but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to term (miscarriages and stillbirths). TS is named after Dr. Henry Turner, who discovered the condition in 1938.

The sentiments are from Joy Clair Stamps: Thank You For Everything and Hugs and Smiles. I stamped them on the card with Imagine Crafts – VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad using Mini MISTI.

The pocket full of flowers is from the STAMPlorations – Pocket Blooms Stamp and Die Set. I stamp the flower with Imagine Crafts – VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad on a watercolor paper, then I colored them with Spectrum Noir Sparkles Brush Pens. I dried the flower with craft heater and then fussy cut it with scissors. I added the flower on the card with Scrapbook Adhesive E-Z Grand Runner.

For the pocket, I had monoprinted paper in my stash that I created in the past. I cut it with the pocket die. I added the pocket on the card, under the flower with 3D foam tape for an extra dimension.

The butterflies are from Joy Clair – Butterfly Kisses stamp set. I stamped them on a watercolor paper with Imagine Crafts – VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad and then I colored them with Spectrum Noir Sparklers Brush Pens.

Hello everyone! Today, I have this fun Penguin Hugs shaped card to share with you.

I am joining my crafty friend, Esther, as a guest at the Polka Dot Orchard Collaboration Wednesday. I had fun making this penguin shaped card with this super adorable Penguin Love Digital Stamp Set!

First, I opened the penguin png file at the Silhouette Studio Software.Then using the Trace Tool, I trace the penguin image to create the cutting line. Next step, I used the Offset Tool to create the offset line around the cutting line. I duplicated the shape using the Mirror Replicate Tool and then welded both of them into a card.

I added the sentiment in the middle of the heart on the penguin after I modified a little bit. For front card, I used the Print-and-Cut tool for the penguin. I printed couple of the penguins that fit on a 8.5 x 11 heavyweight cardstock. After that, I cut them and the penguin card bases with my Silhouette Cameo 3.

I colored the penguin with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and Colorless Blender Pencil. I added the penguin on top of the card with permanent dries-clear adhesive glue. The card is 4.25″ tall that will fits inside a regular A2 card envelope.

I like how this penguin shaped card turned out and I do hope you like it, too. Head over to Polka Dot Orchard blog to see Esther’s project.

Hello everyone! Today, I am joining the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and The Cat’s Pajamas Collaboration Hop!

Every day at The Cat’s Pajamas Blog they reveal the sneak peeks of each new release. And today on Day 3 Sneak Peek, you can get Make Tea along with the FREE Cutting Files for this set. The entire release will be available on January 28.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers’ design team share their projects featuring this stamp set. You will love what they have created! The full list of blog hops are at the end of this post.

When I saw that stamp set, I started thinking of Spring! There are adorable images on this stamp set. I guarantee that you also will love love love this set! And, you will receive a free cutting file for this stamp set.

Here are two CAS, Tea-Spring themed cards to share with you today.

First of all, I cut out all the images using the free cutting file they gave me. I open the cutting files with my Silhouette Studio software and cut them with heavyweight white cardstock.

I put the negative cut out on my MISTI, and then put the stamps inside the negative cut out and picked them up with the MISTI lid. This way, I can stamp the images directly in place on the cut outs. I stamped all the images with VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad.

I colored all the images with ADORNit Watercolor Pencils and Spectrum Noir Sparkle Clear Brush.

On the shaker card, I used one of the negative die cuts I had in my stash as the shaker window frame and for the shaker filler I used giant iridescent glitter. I added the shaker frame and image on the card with 3D foam tape and I stamped the sentiment right under the shaker window.

And for this second card, I simply stamped the sentiment on a pink cardstock with Catherine Pooler’s Ink Pad and cut it with on of CP dies. I added both sentiment label and image on the card with 3D foam tape.

I used Spring patterned papers I had in my stash on both of the card backgrounds.
