LDRS Creative | 5 Minute Anniversary Card Idea

Tomorrow is my 14th wedding anniversary, so I wanted to create a special handmade card for my partner - something heartfelt, modern, and quick to make. I reached for the LDRS Creative About LOVE Collage 4x6 Stamps and paired them with the Stepped Edge Die to create this easy freeform collage-style design.









Products used - 


Instead of using the Stepped Edge Die along the edge of a card like usual, I die cut it down the right side of a white panel to create an unexpected layered detail. From there, I started building my collage design on the left side of the panel using several sentiments from the About LOVE Collage 4x6 Stamps.

One of my favorite tips when creating collage-style cards is to keep your color palette simple. Limiting your colors helps all of the stamped elements work together. You can easily swap these shades to match your own style or occasion. I went with light purple, aqua, and raspberry ink colors. I began with the large “LOVE” sentiment and layered in smaller phrases like “XOXO” and “you’re my person.” I also added a few tiny black hearts for contrast and finished the collage with the sentiment, “I’d fall for you again and again and again and again…” which perfectly echoes the stair-step pattern created by the die.





To finish the card, I added foam tape behind the stamped panel and adhered it to a aqua/mint card base. I love the shadows and dimension from the foam tape. And that's it! An easy 5 minute anniversary card!

LDRS Creative | Fresh Cut Florals

Hi crafty people! Today I’m sharing how I created this colorful floral card using the Fresh Cut Tulips and Fresh Cut Daisies Stamps from LDRS Creative along with their coordinating Masking Stencils.












My process for stamping, masking, and coloring is super simple, but I'll give you some of my favorite tips and tricks through the video, so be sure to watch! I used Raven Hybrid Ink to stamp the flowers, leaves, and stems from the Fresh Cut Daisies and Fresh Cut Tulips Stamps onto white cardstock. I love how you can use these images separately, or mix them together! Then I did some quick coloring with Copic Markers. 






I cut my panel using the largest die from the Mixed Scallop Rectangle Dies and finished off the card with a sentiment from the You Are Timeless Word Dies. I put the word "timeless" on the inside of the card for a little something special. Thanks for joining me! See you soon!

LDRS Creative | Fun in the Sunny Woods Card Kit

Let’s create with the Fun In the Sunny Woods Card Kit! In today’s video, I’m sharing 6 cards using this adorable “just add adhesive” kit - perfect for quick and easy cardmaking! If you follow the kit as intended, you can create 12 complete cards with everything included. But I wanted to take it a step further and show you how to stretch your supplies even more!











I start by creating 2 cards exactly as the kit is designed - perfect for when you want something fast and stress-free. Then, I create 4 additional cards by mixing, altering, and reimagining the kit elements to get even more variety and value from your kit.








For each of my first two cards, I used a card base, A2 topper, matching die cut scene, coordinating die-cut characters, and a sentiment. I used foam tape behind each of the pieces to give the cards lots of dimension. Easy peasy and I created both cards in about 5 minutes!






My third card uses the same kit elements as the first two - a topper, frame, ephemera and sentiment - but I changed the topper a bit by trimming it down to 4" x 5 1/4". This gives just a little bit of a white border. I brought in some twine from my stash and wrapped it around the left side of the card. Such an easy way to step up the card just a little bit!






Now we're going to start changing things up! The Fun In The Sunny Woods Card Kit is designed to make 12 cards, but you can definitely stretch that! For my fourth card, I decided to leave off the die-cut frame and create a card without it. That reserves the topper for another card. You could easily layer it onto some cardstock or patterned paper and bring in a sentiment from your stash. I wanted to add something special, so I cut the edge with the Stepped Edge Die. I added the die-cut characters and a sentiment and this one is done!






But what if you don't want to use either of the scenic pieces? No problem! Save BOTH of them for one (or two!) additional cards. I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Wildwood 5x7 Paper Pack and added it to the bottom of an A2 card and added one of the character die-cuts and sentiments from the Fun In The Sunny Woods Card Kit to the top. Super easy and so adorable!






My sixth and last card uses some more of the papers from the Wildwood 5x7 Paper Pack as well as die-cut characters, a sentiment, and one of the die-cut scenic frames from the Fun In The Sunny Woods Card Kit. The frame pieces in the card kit are the same size as the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Frame Dies, so you can easily use that set of dies to create some layers. I used the 2nd largest die to cut the frame piece from the kit and layered it onto a white die-cut panel. I popped up the coordinating die-cut characters, a sentiment, and added it to a background I created with patterned paper strips. 






I hope you enjoyed seeing the Fun In The Sunny Woods Card Kit in action! Take these ideas and run with them - whether you're creating quick and easy cards straight from the kit, or changing the kit to make some additional cards. I'll see you soon!

LDRS Creative | Quick Card with AquaInk Transfers + Stepped Edge Die

Let's see how easy it is to create a beautiful floral card using the AquaInk Transfer Sheets from LDRS Creative.









Products used - 









I used a yellow floral image from the AquaInk Transfer Sheets - Serafina and paired it with a soft purple card base for a gentle, elegant look. To add some texture and dimension, I used the Stepped Edge Die to cut a decorative border directly into the edge of my A2 card - it’s a great way to add interest without adding extra layers or bulk.






Thanks so much for swinging by! I'll see you again soon!

LDRS Creative | Easy Ink Swiping Background + Collage Stamping Card

Let's create a colorful collage-style card using the LDRS Creative About LOVE Collage Stamps and the Never-Ending Wildflower Stamps!









Products used - 












I started by swiping four new ink colors directly onto my cardstock to create a quick and vibrant background. This technique is super simple and gives you a beautifully blended base in seconds! Once the background was finished, I built a freeform collage design using gray and black inks. I also stamped the Never-Ending Wildflowers lightly in the background to add texture without competing with the collage elements.






I'll be back tomorrow with another card and video tutorial using products from the new LDRS Creative release! See you then!

Products used -



Fuzzy Wuzzies have been one of my favorite LDRS Creative product lines since they were first introduced and I'm so happy that the line is continuing to expand! These little fuzzies are absolutely adorable. I stamped a trio of characters on my card and dressed them up with the accessories included in the stamps and dies. I even took some creative license and used the die that creates the eyes to make some shiny sunglasses for the fuzzies on the ends!
