You're Out Of This World

Hi Friends! 
I have a fun card to share with you today that was inspired by one of my new favourite shows. Im sure you may have heard of Baby Yoda...he is a character from the Disney plus show "The Mandalorian" and he is simply the cutest creature there is!!


I decided to crack open the Galactic Love Grab and Go! box again and colour up one of the images to look like the cutest greenest baby there is. To create his ears, I used a die from the "Down the Rabbit Hole" Grab and Go! box but you could easily create them by cutting them out with scissors.

The background was created using some masking paper and ink blending using Stamp Anniething hybrid inks.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

until next time - Stephen

Holiday card in minutes

Hi Friends! 
With the holidays fast approaching, you may be like me and need some extra cards to give out to friends and family. I have a quick and easy card to share with you today that you can whip up in no time.


I my took colour inspiration from a scrap piece of patten paper I had laying around which I used for the background. I used the Holiday Tag - Winter Add On die which I Layered using Blue, Silver Glitter, and Red cardstocks.
I stamped out the word "happy" on a banner from the Banner Dies set.
To create my background, I spritzed some of the Stamp Anniething Hybrid inks from the Ink Replenishers that I mixed in a spritzer bottle onto some white cardstock. I then layered the Sashiko Abstract stencil on top and did some ink blended overtop using Stamp Anniething inks.
To finish off my card, I filled the shaker element with the Retro Squares adornments and the Snowflake Sprinkles adornments 

I hope you like my card creation for today!
Until next time - Stephen

Holly - Sweet Dreams

Hi Friends!
I have another card to share with you today featuring Stamp Anniething goodies!!


I coloured up the adorable "Holly- Sweet Dreams" stamp set using Copic markers. To create the patterned PJ's, I stamped the image again on some pattern paper I had and then added shading using a black coloured pencil.
My card layout is pretty simple...I stencilled the background using some Stamp Anniething Hybrid inks using a stencil that everyone got as an exclusive who attended the Fall SAT retreat this past October. I also used the circle shaped die that was an exclusive as well.
To finish off my card, I diecut the "Sweet" word die out two times in a purple and grey card stock which I layered together and then heat embossed the "Dreams" sentiment on a banner that I diecut out using one of the banners from the Banner die set.
I hope you like my card creation for today!

Lorraine - Hello Friend

Hi Friends! 
Today I am kicking off the newest challenge happening over at Stamp Anniething.
This months challenge is "Tags"

For my main image, I coloured up the adorable "Lorraine - Hello" with Copics.
I decided to take the challenge quite literally and use a tag on my project. I used the Tag diecut from the shaker basics set 2 but spiced it up by stencilling a swirly background using Stamp Anniething inks and the Fancy Swirl stencil that was an exclusive to everyone who attended our first Stamp Anniething retreat this past October.
I found a patten paper that went well with my background and then added the Friends diecut which I added some silver Wink of Stella to. 
To finish off my card, I adder some clear enamel droplets and a while heat embossed "Hello" sentiment which was stamped onto a banner from the Banner Diecut set.
I hope you liked my card creation for today!
Until Next Time - Stephen

MFT Stamps - London Mouse

Hi Friends! 
Just wanted to share a card I made for my Dad's Birthday.

London Mouse stamp set by MFT stamps 

My dad (and my entire family actually) is a big fan of the British Royal Family and all the presents I got him for his birthday  this year are themed around that. I was going through my stamp collection and discovered I had purchased this super adorable stamp set from MFT years ago and never used it (oops!!). The stamp set is called London Mouse and unfortunately it is a retired set...I hope you don't mind but I wanted to share this card creation with you still.
I coloured all the images with Copic makers and added some minor details with coloured pencil. I ink blended the background using Distress Inks and stencilled the cobblestone pavement using a stencil from Stamp Anniething.
I adore making scene cards and this one was super fun to create.
I hope you liked my card creation for today!
Until next time - Stephen

Krissy - Fall Leaves

Hi Friends!
Its my day to post over on the Stamp Anniething blog and I have a very autumnal card to share with you.


I coloured up Krissy - Leaves with Copic markers then cut her out. I will list all the Copic colours I used below.
I created a quick and easy background by doing some simple ink blending using Tangerine, Freesia, and Willow Bought Stamp Anniething Hybrid inks with those amazing blender brushes. Next I used the Woodland die that came in the Conquer the World Grab and Go box and added some detail to the diecuts using Copics as well.
To frame my scene, I used the outline rectangle die from the Shaker Basics set #1 and added the Smile Diecut in the top lefthand corner.
To finish off my card, I used the Fall Leaves stencil with Birch Stamp Anniething Hybrid Inks on some grey cardstock.
