Cup of Cheer with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Nov 28, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hello there! Amy here with a cozy winter card featuring a few of the caffeinated critters from the new Cup of Cheer set. They are all completely adorable but the chubby bear and sleek otter were really calling to me this time around. I also couldn’t resist playing with the new Postage Frame die once again because it creates such a great look and I thought it would make for a fun background that allowed me to use a bunch of the little extra accessory images included in the set as well. First things first, I cut the Postage...

Candy Crew with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Oct 26, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hello there! Amy here with one last Halloween card for the season and this time I’ve inked up some more of the cute critters from the Candy Crew set. The little bear was really speaking to me as I love his look of concern and that upturned face. To give him something to look at I stamped the small spider just above, directly in the bear’s eye line. I then added the bunny with the lantern so he could shed some light on what is spooking his friend. The spider needed something to be dangling from and the Full...

Spooky Text with Amy

Hello, hello! Amy here with a clean and simple Halloween card featuring the new Spooky Text stamp set. Not only is this set full of great sentiments for the upcoming holiday but it also includes three jack o’lanterns and three standing critters for you to choose from. I also added the older Spooky Script and Pathway Background stamps into the mix to help fill out the rest of this spooky cute scene. The idea to contain my stamped scene on a narrow strip came about because I had left over card stock scraps from cutting out some slimline card...

Autumn Days with Amy

Hello, hello! Amy here with a sweet card to welcome in the fall season. I love the cute girls in the Autumn Days set so I decided to build a woodland scene, in all its fall glory, around the little walking gal. Because Hello Bluebird stamp sets are so easy to mix and match together, I also pulled out the Oh Nuts and Tree Neighbors stamp sets to help make this scene look unique and special. I began building this autumnal scene by stamping the girl, small pumpkin and larger mushroom on the left, using Memento rich cocoa ink....

Nine Lives with Amy

Posted by Amy Young | Aug 29, 2023 | Uncategorized

Hello, hello! Amy here and now that summer is drawing to a close my crafty endeavors are taking a decidedly more autumnal turn. So when I grabbed the new Nine Lives stamp set full of cute kitties I was inspired by my own black cats and from there my thoughts turned towards Halloween. That lead me to flip through my older Halloween themed stamp sets to see what kind of mash up I could create. Ultimately I fell in love with this happy ghost from the Ghostly Greetings set and knew that I had a purrr-fect pairing. I chose...
