SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO

Probably my last two cards using the Avant Garden stamp set for a while…. This was one of the free stamp sets during Sale-A-Bration, and definitely my favorite! I used both Old Olive and Wisteria Wonder for the layers and embossed each with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Brick Wall Textured Impressions …

I was having so much fun with this color blocking technique, that I just kept going. This one ended up being a cute little birthday card. Check out my separate blog post with a tutorial on this very cool and super simple watercolor block technique. 🙂 I love how the colors of the Serene Scenery …
I think this Dragonfly Dreams set was just made to pair up with the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper! Super simple to put this together with layers of glimmer paper, an embossed (Hexagon Embossing Folder) layer and the beautiful dragonfly as the focal image! I used a sentiment from the Suite Sentiments stamp set. This glimmer …

This Special Reason Bundle (stamp set and Stylish Stems Framelits Dies) is so versatile. I decided to make this card very simple with just a few extra touches. I used So Saffron card stock and Subtles DSP along with a piece of Whisper White that I ran through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling …
These little note cards came to be when I was looking for an alternative to one of my Easter cards that we will work on at my next in-home workshop. I usually like to add a little something to the stamper’s gift baggies to store the cards they make at the workshop! 🙂 The …
Oh my goodness, this card was just too cute not to copy from Pinterest! I am casing (copying and sharing with everyone) from a fellow demonstrator, Brian King. I honestly didn’t think the Basket Bunch Bundle was going to be so much fun, but I was wrong! It has so many cute bunnies, chicks, peeps, …
This card was a quick and easy card made from the Basket Bunch Bundle! (Remember, you always save 10% when purchasing the bundle as opposed to buying the stamp set and framelits separately)! 🙂 I used So Saffron card stock and a piece of the So Saffron print from the Subtles DSP. I used the …
I never seem to have a masculine birthday card to send out when I need it, so I decided to make a few of these to keep on hand. 🙂 I used both the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the Duo Celebrations Embossing folder for this bold sentiment! I used Dapper Denim ink and card …
