Hello. Thank you for visiting my Blog. I started making hand made cards in January 2018 and now I create cards almost every day. I love making cards to give away to other people. When I discovered card making it lit a spark within me that drives me to always learn new things and make new cards every chance I get.I live in Western Pennsylvania with my husband and my son and our dog Karley, who is a mix between a yellow lab and a pit bull.

Watercolor Thanks | Kitchen Sink Stamps
Hello! Today I created a card for the Kitchen Sink Stamps Design Team. To create my card, I used the Watercolor Thanks Stamp Set, the SVG Cut File for the Watercolor Thanks Stamp Set, and the Buffalo Plaid from the Extended Plaids Printable Background (for FOILING).

The Foiled Background
To create my card, I started with the background. I used my laser printer and printed the Buffalo Plaid from the Extended Plaids Printable Background set. I foiled with red foil, using my Mini Minc Machine. I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die. Below that, I die cut with a stitched rectangle die a green foil cardstock panel, cutting it slightly larger than the plaid foil layer and using it as a mat layer. I adhered the layers to a black A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card base.
The Watercolor Thanks Stamped Sentiment
I used the SVG cut file from the Watercolor Thanks Stamp set to cut out the outline of the word thanks. I put this in my stamp positioning tool and stamped using the following Color Recipe (stamping in reverse order):
- Layer 4: Catherine Pooler Cranberry Fizz
- Layer 3: Catherine Pooler Rouge (stamped off one time to decrease the intensity of the color)
- Layer 2: Catherine Pooler Rose Petals
- Layer 1: Catherine Pooler Polished (stamped off one time to decrease the intensity of the color)

Angels Wings | Kitchen Sink Stamps
Hello! Today I created a card for the Kitchen Sink Stamps Design Team. To create my card, I used the Angels Wings and Musical Things for Teddy stamp sets. I always imagine Angels have more than one set of wings. I imagine they would be layered, so I layered two sets from the Angel Wings Stamp Set. This is a Christmas Card and reminds us of the important role that Angels played in the Christmas Story.
Kitchen Sink Stamps: https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/sc/ref.cgi?storeid=*14894f2aab5d40e710c47a8a&name=Tracy_Shultz
To create my card, I used the SVG file that includes the angel wings, halo, several sentiments and banners. I stamped the Angel Wings in these colors in reverse order:
5. Altenew Gray Denim
4. Altenew Silver Lakes
3. Momento Teal Zeal (stamped off to make a lighter shade)
2. Momento Summer Sky twice (to deepen the shade)
1. Momento Summer Sky (once)
I stamped two sets of wings. Next, I stamped the halo using the following inks in reverse order:
3. Catherine Pooler Catching Rays
2. Catherine Pooler Catching Rays (stamped off to make a lighter shade)
3. Catherine Pooler Chiffon
I used Memento Teal Zeal ink to stamp the sentiment.
Next I used the Musical Things for Teddy Stamp stamp. The Harp has three layers and I used these inks:
3. Rich Cocoa (Momento)
2. Peanut Brittle (Momento)
1. Cantelop (Momento)
Next I used the Kitchen Sink Stamps Cloudy Skies Stencil to ink blend some soft clouds in the background.
To finish my card I layered the Angel wings and used foam to pop up the top layer, as well as the halo. I also stamped the musical notes and star from the Musical Things for Teddy set. I used Catching Rays ink from Catherine Pooler.
You can find the stamps that I used here:
