LDRS Creative | Easy Summer Floral Card

There's something about blue and yellow flowers that just feels like summer to me! They're bright, cheerful, and always make me smile, so I couldn't resist using that color combination for today's clean and simple card.









Products used - 




I started by stamping one of the gorgeous images from the Floral Sketch 5x7 Stamps onto the right side of a white cardstock panel. Using the coordinating Layering Stencils, I ink blended the flower with soft blue petals and a sunny yellow center. The layered stenciling makes it so easy to add beautiful shading and dimension!






To add a little extra interest, I used the Stepped Edge Die just to the right of the flower, letting it slightly cut into the stamped image for a fun, modern detail. Of course, I couldn't resist finishing everything off with a few black ink splatters - one of my favorite ways to add texture and a little personality to a card!

After trimming the panel down, I layered it onto a piece of yellow cardstock before adhering everything to a white card base. It's a design that's easy to recreate with your favorite color combinations, but I have to admit...blue and yellow will always have my heart! Thanks for joining me! I'll see you soon!

LDRS Creative | AquaInk Transfer Sheets - Tranquility

Today's project combines beautiful scenery, rich color, and a fun interactive die-cutting technique! For this card, I paired the new LDRS Creative AquaInk Transfer Sheets - Tranquility with the Window To A View Eclipse Dies to create a design that's both elegant and eye-catching.









Products used - 




The AquaInk Transfer Sheets - Tranquility include six breathtaking scenic images, and any of them would work beautifully with this design. I chose a tropical poolside scene filled with gorgeous shades of blue and green. One of my favorite details is the soft, hand-torn edge effect around the artwork, which gives the image an organic, artistic feel.

After transferring the image onto watercolor cardstock (be sure to watch the video tutorial to see the process in action!), I used the Window To A View Eclipse Dies to create an inlaid eclipse design. The eclipse technique adds dimension and interest while allowing the beautiful scenery to remain the star of the show.






To complement the image without overwhelming it, I kept the rest of the card simple and focused on texture. A panel of green cardstock embossed with the Perfect Petals 3D Embossing Folder creates a beautiful backdrop with lots of depth and detail. That's it! Thanks for joining me!

LDRS Creative | Naturally Sweet Collage Stamps

Summer crafting is about to get a whole lot sweeter! For today's sneak peek card, I reached for the new Naturally Sweet Collage 4x6 Stamps - available the LDRS Creative store on Thursday, June 4th.









Products used - 




When building a freeform collage layout, I always like to work from large to small. I started with the largest "sweet" sentiment and then added smaller greetings like "I pick you" and "you're the one" throughout the design. Once the sentiments were in place, I filled the remaining spaces with the fruit images. This approach makes it easy to balance the layout while filling every corner with fun fruity images!






To finish the card, I die-cut the stamped panel using the Mixed Postage Rectangle Dies and layered it onto one of the cheerful rainbow stripe patterns from the Favorite Things 6x6 Paper Pack. The colorful background perfectly complements all of the fruity images! This card is so bright, happy, and full of summertime energy!

LDRS Creative | Fuzzy Wuzzies Athletic Supporter Add-On

It's release week for LDRS Creative, and today I'm sharing a sneak peek card inspired by my favorite sport - football! The Fuzzy Wuzzies Athletic Supporter Add-On Stamps and Dies include everything you need to create a variety of sporty characters, from golf and tennis to baseball and more. For this project, I couldn't resist building an adorable fuzzy football as the star of the show.









Products used - 



I love how this card is perfect for birthdays, graduations, and more. My son is a big football fan and is about to move up to middle school, so I made this card for him. I started by stamping and die cutting the football character before creating a simple card design around him. To tie everything together, I used the small football stamp to create a coordinating border that adds just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the focal point.






I kept the color palette limited to brown, white, and blue. My son's favorite color is blue. but you could easily customize this to your own team's colors! I love how this project shows that a simple design can still have plenty of personality. Sometimes all you need is a cute character, a fun sentiment, and a few coordinating colors to create a winning card!


Be sure to keep your eye on the LDRS Creative social media channels this week for more sneak peeks!

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!

LDRS Creative | Fuzzy Wuzzies Under Construction Add-On

It's time for a bright, fun, and playful Fuzzy Wuzzies card! LDRS Creative has a new collection releasing Thursday, March 12th and I'm SO excited to bring you a sneak peek of one of the new stamp sets. Let's take a peek!









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!






You can completely customize the colors on this card for anyone in your life, but I'm definitely sending this one to the guys in my life for Father's Day! Be sure to swing by LDRS Creative social media from now to March 12th more sneak peeks!

LDRS Creative | Easy Floral Card with Simple Masking

You know me - simple and easy! I have an easy floral card made with simple masking and bold coloring. I used the Bouquet Maker Stamps and Bouquet Maker Mask Stencils from LDRS Creative to create a sweet little flower grouping in the center of a scalloped rectangle panel. I kept the layers minimal, added a thin black border for contrast, and mounted everything onto a white card base. It’s bright, clean, and will go through the mail perfectly! Let's get started!










Products used - 


Stamping and masking is something that a lot of stampers find intimidating, but I hope my video shows you just how easy it is to create a cute little grouping of masked flowers. The biggest thing to remember is to stamp what you want in front first and what you want in the background last. For this card, I stamped the smallest (blue) flower first and ended with the leaves.






You can dress up this design, but I kept it quite simple. Sometimes, simple is elegant! Thanks so much for joining me. I'll see you again soon!

LDRS Creative | Sugar Rush Collage Stamps Card Tutorial

Let’s make a sweet and colorful collage card using the Sugar Rush Collage Stamps from LDRS Creative! In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I built this freeform collage design with a bold pink, blue, and lime green color combo and pops of black for extra contrast. This is an easy, playful card that’s perfect for birthdays or any cake-worthy occasion - and it’s so fun to customize!








I love to freeform collage, but if you like a more structured look, you could use a grid-style outline with one of the LDRS ledger stamps. In my video, I show and talk about a few tips and tricks that I find helpful for collage stamping, so be sure to watch! I kept to a bright and happy color palette, but you could easily customize the colors to anything you wish! 






I finished the card with a bold background using the Floral Reverse Background Stamp. Then I layered the stamped panels onto an A2 card and that's it!

LDRS Creative | Alpha Stencils Shaped Card

Hey there! I’m playing with the Alpha Stencils and A to Z Sentiment Stamps from LDRS Creative to create an easy shaped card that’s full of sweet little details. I’ll show you how I built up the design with dual-toned ink blending, a stenciled background, and lots of tiny touches that make a big difference - like mini die-cut flowers and little butterflies flitting around the card. Ready? Let's go! 









Products used - 

I LOVE that the Alpha Stencils are perfectly sized to fit on an A2 card front. They're great for mass producing A2 cards in a flash, but you can also cut the panels down with a trimmer or shape die. I stenciled the "A" with a couple of inks in the center of a panel and then cut it down with one of the Star Octagon Frame Dies. I cut a mat as well as a shaped card using the same set of dies. I added some additional ink blending over one of the Pattern Background Stencils on the mat to create some extra texture and layered these panels onto the shape card. The "always" sentiment from the A to Z Sentiments 5x7 Stamps is so versatile. This card can be used for anniversaries, weddings, or just to say "I'll always be there" to a friend. 






From there, I just wanted to add some simple elements to pull everything together. I added a stem and some flowers from the Petite Petals Dies and some butterflies from the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps to finish everything. That's it! Thanks so much for joining me!

LDRS Creative | Fuzzy Wuzzies Birthday Suit Add-On

Let's stamp a cute birthday card together! You know I love quick, easy, and colorful cards - and this one is no different! I’m using the adorably fun Fuzzy Wuzzies Birthday Suit Add-On Stamps and Dies from LDRS Creative to create a cheerful birthday card that’s full of snarky personality!












I used the largest die from the Delicate Stitches Scalloped Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of white cardstock. I love the small scallop pattern border! Here's a tip that I use every time I'm stamping - I like to lay out all of my stamps onto my card just to see the placement and how things will look at the end. I did that, and then used a handful of LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks to stamp the Fuzzy Wuzzy and a bunch of presents. 






Once all my stamping was done, I used the Fuzzy Wuzzies Birthday Suit Add-On Coordinating Dies and cut out the eyes, beak, bow tie, hat, and the pieces for the hat. I used liquid adhesive to add the majority of the accents, but I popped up the party hat with foam tape for some dimension. I grabbed a gray card base that matched my Fuzzy Wuzzy and that's it! Thanks so much for joining me!

LDRS Creative | aLined Geos Valentine's Day Card

Sending a little love is always a good idea! Today’s card features the LDRS Creative aLined Geos Stamps and a playful mix of hearts in varying sizes. I stamped in bright pink and soft gray, with pops of black for contrast, creating a fun design that works perfectly for Valentine’s Day - or any day you want to share some love. With a bit of layered die-cutting and patterned paper, this card comes together super quickly!






Products used - 


I cut a panel with one of the Star Octagon Frame Dies and used the square scribble stamp from the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps to stamp a border along the bottom edge. From there, I grabbed a few different sizes of hearts and stamped them in a cluster towards the left side of the die-cut panel. I added a small sentiment and some accents as well. 






I added another die-cut Star Octagon Frame and added them to a pattern from the Autumn Tails 5x7 Paper Pack. That's it! This card would be great for Valentine's Day, but it doesn't have to be. It works great for anniversaries or just because!

LDRS Creative | Monochromatic Card Tutorial

Looking for a simple card design that still has tons of dimension? In this video, I’m sharing how I created a monochromatic, one layer card using the aLined Geos Stamps and Chained Edge Die from LDRS Creative. This design is easy peasy, perfect for quick cardmaking and easy mailing, but still packs a punch with layered stamping, texture, and contrast. I chose shades of purple with pops of black, but this card is totally color-customizable - pick any color under the rainbow and make it your own!









Products used - 


I used the Chained Edge Die to cut into a white card base and added a bit of ink blending with La La Lavender Hybrid Ink to color the edge. Then I grabbed the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps and started stamping with a variety of purple inks and included some pops of gray and black. I like to start with the largest stamps and work my way down to the smallest. I find this is the best way to create backgrounds. If you go the other way, you may run out of room before you get to the largest stamps.






This card is completely flat, so it's perfect for mailing! You can switch up the colors to make a whole rainbow of notecards! There are even more sentiments in the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps that would work, too. Thanks for joining me for this quick card!

LDRS Creative | 2 Easy Birthday Cards with Bold Color

Need a birthday card in a hurry? 🎉 Watch me create two vibrant, colorful cards using the Floral Reverse Background and Winding Celebrations Stamps from LDRS Creative’s Untamed & Unfiltered Collection. These cards are quick, easy, and full of bold color, with a touch of black spatters to add contrast and pop!












I stamped the Floral Reverse Background 6x6 Stamp onto the bottom of a panel of cardstock, keeping about an inch and a half of white space at the top. This is a pretty solid stamp, so you may need to stamp a few times to get a better impression. I love to add dimension with ink spatters - if you know me, then you know that's no surprise! I went with black spatters this time and accented the panel with a slim strip of black cardstock.








I finished off the cards with a sentiment from the Winding Celebrations 5x7 Stamps I stamped onto white cardstock cut with one of the Pinpoint Circles Dies. I added a layer of black cardstock with the Hand Torn Circles Dies and that's it! Thanks for joining me!
