Hello everyone! It’s such a pleasure to be here today. I’m excited to share a card with you that’s sure to bring a smile to your face. With Rosie & Bernie leading the way, this whimsical card is a true work of art. Inspired by the talented AmyR at Prarie Paper & Ink, I just had to give it a try. The endless possibilities of this card style are truly amazing. I’ve been wanting to make one for a while now, but with the holidays, time got away from me. This morning, I finally had a moment to bring my vision to life and I’m so happy with the result. I also added some elements from yesterday’s Craft Roulette to give it that extra special touch. Thank you for letting me share my creation with you.

Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a great Sunday. I’ve been admiring the beautiful cards that people are creating with the Waffleflower postage collage die set. Unfortunately, I don’t have that set, but I’m determined to work with what I have. As they say, “You have what you have, and don’t throw a fit.” So, I’m looking forward to doing some crafting today with the supplies I have on hand.

I followed a two-step process to create my stamps. Firstly, I used a trimmer to cut the stamps to the desired size. Next, I used a pair of precision thinning scissors to create the unique stamp edges. It’s a timeless technique that perfectly captures the desired aesthetic.

I tapped the stamps onto my stamping platform and selected various TH stamps from my collection. Most of the images were from Stampers Anonymous’ Holiday Postmarks CMS323. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Lumberjack Red, Rustic Wilderness, Stormy Sky, and Ground Espresso, followed by Archival Ink in Black Soot. After that, I cut a postage background in red and assembled it onto a white card base.

Enjoy!
