SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
Today is Clean and Simple Saturday… and This Little Piggy is making me very happy! 🙂 We are using one of the new 2017-2019 In Colors, Lemon Lime Twist (which I think is my favorite) as the star of the show here! 🙂 Card stock and ink in Lemon Lime Twist and matted on some …
The Touches of Texture stamp set can be used as a background or as I did here, used as the focal image! I layered a piece of So Saffron card stock, measuring 5-1/4″ x 4″ over the Crumb Cake card base. I added the Whisper White focal image layer, which measured 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ after …
You all know how much I love square cards… and this was no exception! I just love this Wood Words Bundle 🙂 I am loving this Wood Textures DSP and have found that you can go as detailed as you want or as simple as you want…. because the paper does all the work for …
This card was stamped with a retiring set called ‘Penned and Painted’. It is really a favorite of mine. I decided to use it one more time in a workshop I am holding this month. Actually this month, we are calling it Wine Down Wednesday! So you know where that’s headed! 🙂 Should be a lot …
Please see bottom of this post regarding the ordering status of the Daisy Delight Bundle! This Daisy Delight stamp set and bundle is so versatile and popular and is really one of the less expensive bundles that you can get. It is so popular that the Daisy Punch (as of today) is on backorder, …

Basket Bunch Bundle… so cute for Easter week! 🙂 This is all Basket Bunch stamps and dies layered on a checkered piece of DSP from Succulent Gardens in the Sweet Sugarplum color. I cut a few squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and ran an aqua pen with some Sweet Sugarplum ink over them …
This Succulent Garden DSP is truly compatible with just about any stamp set. (FYI: The Succulent Garden DSP is on the retiring list. As of today, it was available and the price is discounted!) I used this DSP with both the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the Everyday Jars Framelit Dies for the Mint Macaron …
The Stylish Stems Framelits Dies (Special Reason Bundle) seems to call out for that glimmer paper every time! 🙂 For this card, I used the smaller floral die as a stencil first and then sponged through the stencil with Sweet Sugarplum ink around the negative space of the larger die from the Stylish Stems …
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 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 …
